• Question:-How to save Costco cd picture to my computer?
  I got some pictures from my camera done at Costco and put on a cd. Well I uploaded them to my comp but Costco has their own Costco picture center and I cannot figure out how to save it to my own My Pictures files to upload later. Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks in advance.

  Then, open "my computer" and "explore" the cd. You should be able to find the images as jpg files. Just copy them to any folder you have or create on your computer.
• Question:-What kind of otis spunkemeyer cookies does costco carry?
  Last year I had the red white and blue kind of cookies from otis spunkemeyer and I want to buy them...I hear that costco sales them but I don't know what kinds that they sale...I want to know does costco sale the red white and blue or strawberry shortcake flavored cookies and if they don't then where can I buy them?

  HTH.
• Question:-How does COSTCO work and should I start shopping there?
  Some of my coworkers swear by COSTCO, and what great deals they get, etc.
  I live with my husband in a two bedroom apartment with two cats... should we be shopping at COSTCO? Or is that more for families with kids they need to buy things for, etc?
  And how does it work?
  
  Answer:-Costco is a warehouse store that sells products in bulk.
  
  You get products and services cheap there for 2 reasons:
  
  1.) you buy in bulk
  
  2.) you pay a membership fee
  
  Being just for you and your husband, it may or may not be beneficial for you to join depending on how much you guys consume. It may turn out that you just break even by shopping there.
  
  Go there with a friend or coworker one day to get a better picture of how much you'll save, if anything at all.
• Question:-How is it possible to shop at Costco instead of Walmart if there is no Costco in your town?
  I've seen people here say that if someone doesn't like the way Walmart does business, he should shop at Costco. I would love to shop at Costco, but there isn't one in my town. Instead, I usually shop at Target or Kroger. I really want to see what Costco has to offer, though, and I want to see Walmart have more competition in my city, so what can be done?
  
  Answer:-Go online to Costco.com and order through the Internet!
• Question:-How do you redeem the costco vouchers for the king tut exhibit at the de young museum?
  Have been to the website for the exhibit and and have seen no directions on how/where to redeem the costco vouchers for this exhibit! I followed the instructions on the voucher which has a redemption code on it so how do I redeem it?
  
  Answer:-For goodness' sake, just contact them and ask!
  
  Click on "contact." Try calling or emailing.
• Question:-How long does Costco keep computers on shelves for purchase?
  Back in August 2008 Costco had this really great $1500 dollar computer out for purchase. I was wondering if anyone knew how long Costco generally keeps a computer on the shelf, for purchase.
  Thanks
  
  Answer:-Costco usually keeps computers in stock until
  
  (1) they are sold
  
  (2) an updated model becomes available
  
  
  
  Also, a lot of times you will not see the same product come back in because Costco is constantly getting updated products.
• Question:-Has anyone ate the RotisserieChicken from Costco? How do i cook a similar chicken?
  Has anyone ate the RotisserieChicken from Costco? How do i cook a similar chicken?
  
  Answer:-I have one of those expensive, but useful, steamer/microwave dishes from Tupperware. It is the one that stacks so you can cook a complete meal in on microwave session.
  
  Anyway, if you get a chicken and season it to your liking and place it on the steamer rack and add the dripping bowl under and the lid on top you can cook a whole chicken (15 minutes a pound) and it turns out juicy and just as tasty as the one you pay much more for already cooked.
  
  It is a good investment. I use it often.
• Question:-Does costco deliver their beds and set it up for me?
  I'm ordering a queen mattress with costco online but was wondering how is their delivery system. I've heard they'll deliver it and put it on your front door but would not set it up and remove the old mattress for you....is this true?
  
  Thanks in advance.
  So they'll take my old mattress and set up the new one if I tip them? How much should I tip each person? Thanks!

• Question:-How does LSU advance in the BCS rankings after loss to Alabama?
  LSU advanced in the BCS rankings, but how? What teams were ahead of them that also lost in order for them to stay in the top 10?
  
  Answer:-Oregon and Iowa lost. But, to stay in the top 10 when you were 9 to start is an insult to anyone with an IQ. Teams drop 5 slots or more with a loss this late.
  
  The sec central office would have to have total control over rankings and outcomes of all games instead of just who wins in their conference. If that was true, so much for any respect they, the BCS, or officiating crews, might have had in anyones mind.
• Question:-Can anyone explain how the BCS computer rankings are calculated?
  When looking at the BCS rankings on yahoo, the 25 teams get a computer average. For the top 4 It shows:
  #1 LSU 0.940
  #2 Alabama 0.940
  #3 Oklahoma State 1.000
  #4 Standford 0.800
  
  I know the computer part (1/3rd) of the BCS is an average of 6 different computer systems. But I don't have a clue where those numbers come from.
  
  Answer:-I'm not a fan of the BCS and I think the whole system is convoluted, but I have figured out the computer systems calculation math. And it is complicated.
  
  First of all, you can't use the Yahoo Sports BCS rankings page because it doesn't show the individual computer system rankings. The ESPN link below shows them. I'm sure there are many other sites that you could use.
  
  As you said, there are 6 computer systems that rank the top 25 teams. However, the highest and lowest rankings are tossed out and the remaining 4 are used in the calculation.
  
  For each of the 4 rankings used, points are awarded using a reverse scale.
  Rank/ Points
  1 / 25
  2 / 24
  3 / 23
  4 / 22
  5 / 21
  6 / 20
  7 / 19
  8 / 18
  etc.
  down to:
  25 / 1
  
  So a team gets 4 sets of points based on the 4 rankings. They are added up, then divided by 100 to convert to a percentage. The conversion is done so the computer average is on the same numerical basis as the Coaches Poll and Harris Poll and can be averaged with those to come up with the overall BCS ranking.
  
  The Coaches and Harris polls are done using the same reverse scale for all the rankings from individual voters a team gets. For each of those, the points are totaled up and divided by the number of voters to get the percentages. You can think of the computer system 1/3 as a poll with 4 voters.
  
  Told you it was complicated. But some examples will clarify it better.
  
  For this week, Oklahoma State earned these 6 computer systems rankings...
  1 2 1 1 1 1 Toss the highest and lowest.. leaves us with 1 1 1 1.
  So when we assign the points for each ranking, we get 25 25 25 25
  added up that's 100 .. divide by 100 = 1.000
  
  So that's the Cowboys computer ranking expressed as a percentage to be used in the overall BCS calculation. That happens to be the highest percentage possible and it makes sense because they were ranked #1 by all 4 computer systems used.
  
  Let's do Standford's...
  computer rankings.. 5 4 6 8 8 5 ... toss high/low ... 5 6 8 5 ... award points ... 21 20 18 21 .. add up.. 80 .. divide by 100 = 0.800
  
  And Alabama's...
  computer rankings.. 2 3 3 3 2 2 ... toss high/low ... 3 3 2 2 ... award points ... 23 23 24 24 .. add up.. 94 .. divide by 100 = 0.940
  
  LSU was ranked differently by the computers but ended up with the same percentage as Alabama because when you drop the high and low the same number of points are awarded.
  3 1 2 2 3 3 ... 2 2 3 3 ... 24 24 23 23 ... 94 ... 0.940
• Question:-Where can I find the Strength of Schedule for the BCS Rankings?
  I was looking through the BCS rankings and did not find the strength of schedule on it. DOes anyone know where I can find that.

• Question:-Does the BCS update their rankings after the Championship Game? Who is ranked higher USC or Texas?
  I have a bet on the "Final BCS Rankings".
  
  Answer:-The BCS does not release any more rankings after the bowl games, another stupid feature that calls for a playoff! The AP does release a poll, and it can be found at this link www.appoll.com
• Question:-Does your local newspaper print the BCS rankings?
  The Dallas Morning News prints only the AP rankings. I honestly don't care about the AP poll and I think the newspaper is showing a bias toward its own professional organization by ignoring the BCS.
  
  Answer:-No
• Question:-Is the BCS computer rankings projections different from the Preseason rankings in college football?
  For the BCS bowl rankings projection, I am just curious on the ranking difference from the BCS compared with the Preseason rankings. Would they correspond exactly by points? Or would they differ initially? My main point behind this is to wonder since after #3 Oregon lost to #4 LSU, would Oregon still have a chance to go to the BCS National Championship if they lost the home opener but win the rest of the games?
  
  Answer:-The BCS rankings are released starting in mid October. The calculation for the rankings has 3 parts, 2 opinion polls and a computer ranking system. The polls used are the USA Today/Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll. The computer 1/3 of the BCS is an average of 6 separate computer rankings.
  
  The USA Today/Coaches Poll releases a preseason ranking and then every week after the season starts. The first Harris Poll is released when the same day the first overall BCS rankings are published.
  
  Most teams have played 6 or 7 games by the time the BCS rankings start so they will always differ a lot from the preseason rankings. The teams at the top of the rankings may be the same, or close to the same, depending on how they've done at that point in the season.
  
  It's much better to be undefeated but any of the BCS conference winners with 1 loss will have a shot at getting into the BCS Championship Game. However, it's a long shot for Oregon.
  
  Oregon is ranked 14th in this weeks Coaches Poll. That puts them behind 3 teams from the Big 12, 2 teams from the Big 10, 2 teams from the ACC, 4 teams from the SEC, and Stanford from the PAC 12.. plus Boise State.
  
  Obviously, the only impact Oregon can have in the rankings of those teams would be beating Stanford.
  
  It's likely that 2 or more of those teams will finish the season undefeated. If that happens, it's highly doubtful that Oregon or any team with 1 loss will be ranked #1 or #2.
  
  And, if all the BCS conference winners have 1 loss, it's unlikely the winner of the PAC 12 will be ranked above SEC, Big 12, or Big 10 conference winners with 1 loss. That's because teams in those conferences are generally considered to have a stronger strength of schedule than Oregon.
  
  So all that Oregon can do is focus on games week to week, beat Stanford, stay undefeated for the remaining games, win the PAC 12 and watch to see what happens with the other conferences.
  
  Since teams in the other conferences play each other, I can see Oregon rising up in the rankings to #4 or #5. But it will be very difficult for the Ducks to get the #1 or #2 spot.
• Question:-How are BCS bowls chosen? Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  
  Answer:-Once the final BCS rankings are released -- which this year is 12/2 -- the national championship game will take the teams that finish ranked #1 and #2.
  
  Then, the other four BCS bowls -- Rose, Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar -- select the remaining teams. However, you don't have to be in the top 10 to be selected. (For instance, a conference can send a maximum of two teams to BCS games, so if they have 3 teams in the top 10, they can't all go).
  
  The bowls have conference tie-ins as well, so if Ohio State does not make the championship game, they will go to the Rose Bowl.

  For the BCS bowl rankings projection, I am just curious on the ranking difference from the BCS compared with the Preseason rankings. Would they correspond exactly by points? Or would they differ initially? My main point behind this is to wonder since after #3 Oregon lost to #4 LSU, would Oregon still have a chance to go to the BCS National Championship if they lost the home opener but win the rest of the games?
  
  Answer:-The BCS rankings are released starting in mid October. The calculation for the rankings has 3 parts, 2 opinion polls and a computer ranking system. The polls used are the USA Today/Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll. The computer 1/3 of the BCS is an average of 6 separate computer rankings.
  
  The USA Today/Coaches Poll releases a preseason ranking and then every week after the season starts. The first Harris Poll is released when the same day the first overall BCS rankings are published.
  
  Most teams have played 6 or 7 games by the time the BCS rankings start so they will always differ a lot from the preseason rankings. The teams at the top of the rankings may be the same, or close to the same, depending on how they've done at that point in the season.
  
  It's much better to be undefeated but any of the BCS conference winners with 1 loss will have a shot at getting into the BCS Championship Game. However, it's a long shot for Oregon.
  
  Oregon is ranked 14th in this weeks Coaches Poll. That puts them behind 3 teams from the Big 12, 2 teams from the Big 10, 2 teams from the ACC, 4 teams from the SEC, and Stanford from the PAC 12.. plus Boise State.
  
  Obviously, the only impact Oregon can have in the rankings of those teams would be beating Stanford.
  
  It's likely that 2 or more of those teams will finish the season undefeated. If that happens, it's highly doubtful that Oregon or any team with 1 loss will be ranked #1 or #2.
  
  And, if all the BCS conference winners have 1 loss, it's unlikely the winner of the PAC 12 will be ranked above SEC, Big 12, or Big 10 conference winners with 1 loss. That's because teams in those conferences are generally considered to have a stronger strength of schedule than Oregon.
  
  So all that Oregon can do is focus on games week to week, beat Stanford, stay undefeated for the remaining games, win the PAC 12 and watch to see what happens with the other conferences.
  
  Since teams in the other conferences play each other, I can see Oregon rising up in the rankings to #4 or #5. But it will be very difficult for the Ducks to get the #1 or #2 spot.
• Question:-How are BCS bowls chosen? Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  
  Answer:-Once the final BCS rankings are released -- which this year is 12/2 -- the national championship game will take the teams that finish ranked #1 and #2.
  
  Then, the other four BCS bowls -- Rose, Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar -- select the remaining teams. However, you don't have to be in the top 10 to be selected. (For instance, a conference can send a maximum of two teams to BCS games, so if they have 3 teams in the top 10, they can't all go).
  
  The bowls have conference tie-ins as well, so if Ohio State does not make the championship game, they will go to the Rose Bowl.

itunes match

• Question:-Will iTunes Match work for my youtube mp3 converted songs?
  I usually BUY music from my favorite artists, just to support them and have them, but about 95% of my iTunes Library are songs that I converted from youtube by copying the video link, putting the link through a website's mp3 converter, and putting it on my iTunes. The iTunes Match preview description says that it takes lower quality songs (youtube ones usually are) and matches that song with a high quality iTunes song. Will this process work with my from-youtube songs? Thanks!
  
  Answer:-Yes, I have those on my IPod right now.

• Question:-Are the items in iTunes suppose suppose to match the song numbers on my iPod?
  I charged my iPod on a different computer from which I sync it with and I don't know if something got erased. My iPod says I have 3746 songs and in my iTunes the it says I have 3766 items in my library. Are my songs and items suppose to match. I'm just wondering if 20 things got deleted from my iPod. I want to know if I have to restore the whole thing just get everything back on it. Or is it a way I could just get the 20 things that may have been deleted.
  
  Please help iTunes is confusing sometimes!
  
  Answer:-You have 3700 songs on your iPod and you are concerned with missing 20? Maybe they are duplicates in your library? Maybe those 20 are not included in a playlist? Seems like more work than it's worth to find those 20 songs then to just foget about them.
• Question:-Will iCloud & iTunes Match count against Data Plans?
  Both seem like cool and useful features, but if I pay $25 dollars to store my entire music library in iTunes match, will streaming the music count towards my data limit? It seems utterly pointless if that's the case, since most carriers no longer offer unlimited data plans. I'd blow through 2gs in a day or two of listening to my own music.
  
  Answer:-Yes, streaming anything counts against data plans, unless you do it with your wifi.

• Question:-How do I log out of Gmail app on android phone?
  The native gmail app on my android phone (HTC Incredible) doesn't allow you to log out of email and you can't set it up to require a password to access your Gmail account. Is there any way to make it require password or to log in and out at will?
  
  Answer:-No, because it is an Android phone, it requires you to be logged into GMail, and you can not log out or delete it. Sorry. Your best solution might be to switch it with a fake GMail account and always sign in via web to check mail or with another application that requires a password to protect your e mail from being accessed by other people using your phone.

  I have the Gmail mobile app and thought I would use my computer to go on the inbox but it doesn't exist on the computer only on my phone. How is this possible? Can I get on the same inbox as on my phone, on my computer? Please help me fix this.
  
  Answer:-Is it a @gmail.com address you're using on your phone, or some other domain? For example my company uses Google Apps and to check my mail on the computer I have to go to mail.mydomain.com, not gmail.com. If it is a gmail account you're using, you should be able to log in at gmail.com using the email address and password you set up on your phone. If it says the account doesn't exist, you might want to send yourself an email from your phone and verify that you're typing it in exactly right.

• Question:-How can I delete mail from the Gmail server through Mail.app?
  I have been using a Gmail account for quite a while now (although I don't get many emails). I have been using Mail.app for convenience but when I went into the mailbox through the actual Gmail site, I noticed that all my messages were still there, even though I had deleted them in Mail.app. How can I fix this while still using Mail.app?
  
  Answer:-Mail.app is the Apple e-mail client?
  
  Fairly simple. You have 2 ways of doing this.
  
  Go into GMail settings. Under the forwarding with POP/IMAP tab.
  
  You can use either POP download (enable it), and by the second option "When messages are accessed with POP" just select "delete GMail's copy"
  
  Otherwise, enable IMAP, which has 2 way communication between your client and GMail, meaning that any action you perform on your client is duplicated on GMail ... this should apply to deleting e-mails as well.
  
  GMail recommends you use IMAP, but its up to personal choice I think. You can just follow the instructions in the setting screen to set up your client for whichever service you use.
  
  Hope that helps :)

• Question:-"Unthink" KFC commercial sounds like newspeak from the book 1984?
  I just saw a KFC commercial on mute that went on about "unthink". It was muted so I don't know what it was trying to convey. Isn't that a newspeak word? Does anyone else find that kind of creepy?
  
  Answer:-I'm actually reading 1984 right now, and yah, it can be a word. "un" anything is "not" anything. Maybe, though, you're thinking of doublethink. George Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning to future generations at the onset of machinery and the end of a war. I personally believe that it is wholly possible, and during certain presidential administrations, we have come close. "Unthink" would follow a certain slogan in 1984: "Ignorance is strength". Doublethink is when a person holds two conflicting ideas in his mind: a truth, and a lie. The lie is used in daily life until the person accepts it as truth, in which case there is no existing proof that it was never the lie, so it becomes the truth. Think about it.
• Question:-What mental picture do you use when trying to "unthink sexy thoughts"?
  I'm sorry for my crazy question. I'm having a "debate" with someone about whether other people do this, or is just me? =D
  
  
  I tend to use "Martha Stewart naked on a cold day". That just kills everything. =D
  ok - when you want to unthink sexy thoughts because you find your sister in law attractive or your husband friend - something like that. Obviously if I'm thinking something sexy about my husband I pounce, I don't try to "unthink" them. =D
  @Michael: LOL. Thanks. Now I'm blind.
  
  Answer:- I think of my damned mother in law. Clothed or not, it doesn't matter. Phooey!!!!!!

  good luck.
