Will backing up my PS3 delete everything on my external?
I am currently backing up my PS3's HDD onto a 500 GB FAT32 external hard drive. Is there any chance of lost data in the process? I have a lot of videos and stuff on there.
1 AnswerPlayStation10 years agoI am upgrading my PS3's HDD. When I back up my data, will my downloaded games also be backed up?
I have several PS1 classics downloaded, as well as the welcome back games. I am currently backing up my data as we speak, but will the downloaded games also transfer over?
5 AnswersPlayStation10 years agoI'm looking for a decent first car, one that will last a few years, that I can just drive into the ground?
Looking to spend 2000-4000, I'll need to to drive to school 4-5 days a week (30 minute drive). What would you folks recommend? I'm thinking at least a 2000, but if you think an earlier model would do as well, let me know. Thanks!
1 AnswerBuying & Selling1 decade agoAlright, I need to know... Can Star Trek replicators synthesize real alcohol or not?
I was under the impression that it could only produce synthohol. TNG Season 6, Episode 2, Relics: Scotty asks for scotch, Data tells him of synthohol, and has to pull out some of Guinans reserve for him.
However, TNG Season 2, Episode 18, Up The Long Ladder: Worf informs the rescued colonists that the replicator can synthesize real grain alcohol if they want.

Me and my fiancee moved to Hamilton from Nova Scotia a couple of months ago. Things happened, and we no longer have any reason to be here. We are planning to move home to Nova Scotia.

1 AnswerVideo & Online Games1 decade agoSo I just started playing Fallout: New Vegas...When do I get my Pre-order items?
I pre-ordered from Gamestop, and got the Classic Pack bonus. I started playing the game, and I assumed I would get the items when Doc Mitchell gives you back the items you had on you. However, this was not the case. When do I get these items? Has something gone wrong?
3 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoIn GTA IV, is there way to call for a cab (besides Roman's) from your cell?
Don't you hate when there are no cars around, and you just can't find a cab? Logically, you should be able to call the dispatcher to send a cab to your location. Is there a number? Is this possible?

5 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoRecommend a good set of headphones for the PS3?
Preferably wireless, but wired is okay. With a mic would be nice too, but not completely necessary.
Either large DJ style headphones or behind the head are preferred as well.
So, any recommendations?
2 AnswersPlayStation1 decade agoHow much experience qualifies as "extensive" experience?
Looking for a job, writing resumes and cover letters, not sure whether I can use "extensive experience," for food service. I've worked in the field for a combined total of about 13 months. Extensive? Yay or nay?
1 AnswerOther - Careers & Employment1 decade agoSo, I am currently looking for a job and have a resume posted on Workopolis. Then this happened. Fishy?
I received a job offer email from careers_jobs@workopolis.com, and another from titandesign.co.uk, which was pretty much the same email.
What this email tells me: "TITAN DESIGH GROUP is a team of seasoned top executives in Finance and Investment Operations who have unparalleled track records of success in brokerage operations." (misspelling is there. Their name was misspelled through the whole thing)
Basically, what they are telling me is that I will get paid to "receive payments from our customers in the Canada and redistribute the funds as needed."
They tell me there are three ways to receive payments, "1.By check ( you would have to own / order check printing equipment )
2.On your credit card ( you would have to provide us with your credit card details )
3.In your bank account ( we only work with existing RBC bank accounts )"
They tell me I would receive $2000 monthly plus a 10% commission. All for a couple hours work a day, max. This is all really fishy, right? I'm not the only one who thinks so? I just need an opinion here, cause this all sounds really nice on paper. I don't like that they're asking for credit card info. I also can't find the original posting on Workopolis, and Workopolis has only ever emailed me from careers.workopolis.com, so I was questioning whether that was a legit Workopolis email as well.
Sorry for the book guys, but I need a job and this sounds sweet. Any help, would be awesome.

I work at a local Greenhouse/Nursery, and we have two types of holly: China Boy and Girl, and Blue Prince and Princess. However, a mistake was made and we only have China Boy holly. Will this pollinate a Blue Princess to form berries?

How can I tell for sure? He seems to think he can walk on water, and has no fear of death. Almost as if he thinks he would rise again.

3 AnswersDogs1 decade agoSafe to use an unsecured wireless network?
Where I live, I'm pretty much surrounded by forests, and the nearest neighbour is several miles away. Also, my driveway is very long (about .5-1km). How near would someone have to be to detect the wireless network, and access it?
