What are the employment protection agencies are there in the Washington state?
Q. What are the employment protection agencies are there in the Washington state? I have a family member who gets abused by her boss, who fabricates false information to her boss in order to fire her. I know that there are government agencies that protect employees from this kind of abuse by meeting and talking with them and consult on how to deal with these kind of issues. I cannot find them anywhere though. Can you help me, please? Thank you in advance.

What is the difference for a family virus protection and a single virus protection?
Q. I want to know what the difference is between V3 Internet Security 2007 Platinum and V3 Internet Security 2007 Platinum for 3 Users (Family). I dont care about the virus protection. I just want to know the difference. Can I use the single one for one computer. How does the Family one work? Does it work for different users or like accounts?

A. Typically with a family license on software you'd get 3 (in this case) "keys" or license codes to activate the product for use with 3 separate installations on 3 separate computers. For example: You, your friend & your sister all download the trial. At the end of the trial, you all want to buy. Instead of buying separately, you buy the family package & use one of the provided codes, give one to your friend, one to your sister. All of them have working versions of the software...and all of you will have to renew after 1 year. You will likely get an e-mail offering a discounted renewal family package, but have the option to just update yours individually, just as they do. I don't know about V3, but typically the family package is offered… [cont.]

How do you get sticky foam protection stickers off computer speakers?
Q. I went to a garage sale and bought a set of computer speakers strapped together for 2$. When I got home and took off the rubber band, I found out that they had once put on protection stickers made out of foam/paper rubber(that you can rip). Most of it was ripped of but it left some of it. To be exact, if you rip it by hand, it comes off but only half of the layer. It looks like a cat had a great time scratching off the top layer! Wetting it with rubbing alcohol and then scratching with my nail takes too long! I need it to be removed because it looks awfully bad! Please help me! I'm not going to use it until I give up finding ways!

  • If you are not ready, and did not know what to do, it could hurt you in different ways. It could knock you down, hard, or throw you against a tree or a wall. It is such a big explosion, it can smash in buildings and knock signboards over, and break windows all over town, but if you duck and cover, like Burt [the Turtle], you will be much safer.
