In the course of our busy days, we interact with and impact the lives of numerous other human beings. We navigate on automatic pilot through the mundane tasks of suburban existence, barely conscious of how our actions or words influence our neighbors or coworkers. Then, one day in a moment of need, we are jolted awake by an unusual act of kindness: A stranger pays for our latte when we’re caught without our wallet, or allows us merge on to the highway when it seems that no one else will. Sometimes the moment is truly extraordinary and that unknown neighbor saves our life.

Q: I have a brand new Windows Vista computer that works great except for a problem I’m having with the two ASUS DVD/CD drives installed on the computer. When I load a video DVD into either drive, it works fine. I get video and sound just like I’m supposed to. But, when I put in a music CD, it will only play music for about a minute and then I get an error message that says “error code #C00D0FAB.” Interestingly, when I play the same CD on my wife’s XP computer, it plays just fine. First of all, what does the error message mean? And, what do you think I need to do to be able to play the CD?
Plastic products are spread throughout almost all aspects of our everyday life. Whether it’s the plastic straw you use to sip your morning coffee or the plastic water bottle you buy at lunch, the average American comes in contact with a lot of plastic every day.
