    Verizon ENV Touch Phone -- how to I prevent it from locking while I'm actually...

    ...TALKING ON THE PHONE? This is so annoying. When I'm talking on the phone, my phone will lock, and then when I need to use the keypad, I have to unlock it, and if I want to hang up on a call I can't because the phone is locked, so I have to unlock it to simply hang up! Please help.

    Is sexual orientation a protected status in Australia, as far as employment and housing

    and discrimination? Where I live here in Royal Oak, Michigan, NOBODY is discriminated against. It is a highly educated area, so perhaps that's the reason. (Of course, the weather and economy suck big time, but that's another issue.)

    Is a combination lock or a keyed bike lock better?

    My older bike was stolen a month ago. I had a combination cable lock. Someone showed me how the person probably opened the lock -- by pulling at the lock and seeing if there was space between each of the 4 numbers. For my new bike I purchased a new cable lock, and when I pull it hard, I see...

    What is a good rear bike rack to buy for my Gary Fisher hybrid bike?

    The bike shop where I purchased my bike only has two rear bike racks; one is $45.99, and the other is $54.99. On Amazon.com there are tons of bike racks that are much more inexpensive. However, some say they're for MTX (whatever that means) and the others, I'm not sure which one is good or...

    Do you prefer using a rear mounted basket or panniers with your hybrid/mountain bike?

    I'm trying to decide which is more convenient and functional -- using a removable rear-mounted basket or using a rear pannier. I've never used either, and I'm going to use it for grocery shopping. If I get a basket that snaps in place on the rear rack, I assume I'll need bungee cords so that...

    What size hybrid bike do I need?

    I bought a Gary Fisher Tiburon hybrid bike, 20 inches. I'm over 6'2"...the salesman told me that the 22.5 inch bike was too big for me because I only had about 1 inch or less clearance from the top bar. With the 20 inch I have 2-3 inches of clearance. Is this correct? Should I have bought...

    What size hybrid bike do I need?

    I bought a mountain bike from a "high-quality" bike store. I realized that a mountain bike, with its wide knobby tires, didn't really suit me. I needed something that would be better on the road, since I only ride in the city. So, I returned the mountain bike and they gave me a Gary Fisher...

    I'm wondering if I got the correct frame size for my hybrid bike?

    Yesterday I bought a Gary Fisher hybrid bike with a 20 inch frame. I'm 6'2" and 170 and 34 inch inseam...the bike shop guy told me that I need 2-3 inches between the bar of the frame and my crotch when I'm standing with my feet on the ground. There is about 2-3 inches clearance when I'm...

    Should I return my new mountain bike?

    Two days ago I bought a mountain bike. Now I'm wondering if I should have bought a hybrid. I'm not planning on going on off-road trails, and need a bike for commuting on pavement. The mountain bike I bought, a Trek, looks really nice, but my jeans get caught in the chain, and I can't seem to...

    Is it safe to disable the system tray icon for "Intel(R) Graphics Media...

    ...Accelerator Driver for Mobile"? Does it need to run in the background on startup? I can access the same this through Control Panel in Vista.
