Is a refrigerator magnet powerful enough to break a video card?

Much to my chagrin, my computer broke today and I had to purchase a new one; one of the things that I’m doing is transferring some of the RAM and the Video Card from the old computer to the new computer. As I was preparing to do that, I noticed I did not have a screwdriver to loosen the bolt holding the video card in place.

In my haste to get the card out, I began grabbing whatever small edged objects I could find to get the screw out; I was unsuccessful, but I unwittingly attempted to use a flimsy refrigerator magnet in an attempt to get the bolt out.

The bolt in question is about a centimeter from the edge of the video card, and about 2 inches from the nearest observable electrical component in the card. The magnet in question was about 1/4 of a centimeters thick.

Did I just damage my video card?

No.

The only things substantially affected by a magnetic field are CRT’s and mechanical hard drives.

what program do i need to print labels-address lables, not all the same name?

the easiest and most widely found program for this would be Microsoft Word. you just need to go to tools and then envelopes and labels. you will find all the options you need under the labels tab.

What feeding suggestions would you give for a 5 yr old thoroughbred mare who is thin?

She is currently fed twice a day at each feeding she receives: a large coffee tin 3/4 full of 10% sweet grain, two hand fulls of alfalfa cubes and 1/2 bale of brome hay. We also give her a scoop of senior focus in the morning for added nutrition. We wormed her last week and have no medical history as to when it was done prior.

I’m in California and if I have a horse who’s starting to look a bit "ribby" or I’ve purchased some rack of bones, I go out and buy a 50LB sack of A&M (Ground alfafa and molasses) (In the mid west they use beet pulp BUT I’ve been informed that you HAVE to add water to it or it will swell in a horse’s belly causing colic), dump it into a tub or feeder in the horse’s stall, then top it with some rolled barley corn that is mixed with corn oil and apple cider vinegar. (I feed a 3LB coffee can of the barley corn mixture once a day.) The horse will normally devour the first couple of bags of A&M, but then they will slack off as they get used to it (Never had an issue with colic or founder)…

I haven’t fed oats or any mixed feed in decades, basically because I’ve had running horses and TBs I’m trying to keep quiet, so I feed the rolled barley corn mixture to them for weight, NOT heat.

I also give my horses a hot bran mash twice a week with a 1/2 CUP of apple cider vinegar and corn oil (I can mix the barleycorn into it.). I feed 1/2 a 3 LB coffee can of red wheat flakey bran and add enough water to it so that it looks like oatmeal in consistancy.

I make sure that they get 2 flakes of alfafa hay per feeding.

Are guys suposed 2 wear a cup (athletic supporter) for swimming under their swim suit?

So I am going to be on a swim team and I just got a swim suit (swim jamers). When I tried it on, I noticed the buldge on/in my suit. I didn’tknow if this was normal or if guys should wear a cup to cover this up. I don’t even know if they make cups you could wear in the water any way though so…. Help please!

No, there’s really no reason to wear a cup when swimming. It won’t do anything except get in the way. You don’t need to wear a cup because swimming is not a contact sport and I know of no reason why your balls would get hurt. You don’t need suppport because the jammer shoud be designed to do that. And as far as a little bulge, that’s just the way it is. most guys have one.

How do I start a business selling from wholesale suppliers? Im in Australia?

I have recently heard of people making a bit of money out of getting wholesale products and selling them..

How do you get into it and whats the risks behind it?

I have heard that going too my local secondhand shop and buying clothing from there and re-selling it on ebay is much the same as wholesale.. Is that true?

okay

you need to have a wholesaler, like go to alibaba.com

it helps also if you know what you’re selling (example, computer stuff like hard discs, monitors)

risk=reward
