Will a 6V adapter work on a 9V device?

Depending on what we're talking about here, most devices will tolerate +/-15%, or in your case, 7.65v to 10.35v. A 6V power supply will only give the device 66% of the power it's rated for (not enough).

Even if you could find an adapter that would fall within the 15% tolerance, it's not a good idea to try it. A multi-voltage adapter can usually be purchased for cheap at your local RadioShack or if you're feeling lucky, you might be able to find one at any place that recycles electronics (Goodwill or any local recyclers).

What brand of home computer is most powerful and why?

It really depends on what you need the computer to do. You can't really have a all powerful computer in all aspects of the computing world. Some computers are designed for game playing, others are design for database processing, other are designed for video and graphic editing. You can't have it all in one computer. If you know how, you're far much better off building your own computer and configuring it to your needs. (Or have somebody do it for you.) Most "walmart" computers are sufficient enough for word processing, but lacks the hardware for intensive gaming.

Is 3-in-1 oil safe for paper shredder?

AnswerYes you'll be fine dont put it on any electronic parts though you can use 3 and one in just about any situation it has good viscosity for many uses

I used to have a Xerox shredder, and only vegetable oils were to be used on it. Mineral oils, like 3-in-1 oil, are more likely to swell the plastic of the shredder, causing damage.

No, I work for customer service for Fellowes it is not ok to 3-in-1 in the shredders you always need to use a vegitable based lubricant/oil you can even use vegetable oil from your kitchen the only difference being that the oil from your kitchen has no perseverance in it so the oil will go bad and make a bad smell in your shredder.

You can also use a synthetic oil like Paslode's Impulse oil or Singer Sewing machine oil. I both cases they are for high rpm and will not gum up.

Can taking vicodin also damage your kidneys?

Vicodin is hydrocodone and Tylenol (=acetaminophen). Too much acetaminophen can cause kidney problems as well as liver problems. The liver problems caused by excessive use of aceta.. are well publicized; the possible damage to the kidneys from excessive use of aceta... is not well publicized BUT is a real risk. I don't believe hydrocodone causes problems to your liver or your kidneys, but I'm not absolutely sure. (Note: I have a moderate amount of knowledge about drugs, their ingredients and their side effects, interactions etc. )

What device is used to read answers to multiple choice questions?

There are even grading apps for mobile devices that captures and reads the image of a completed multiple choice test.

Difference between 357 and 357A button battery?

The 357 (ENERGIZER 357/303H) is a silver oxide battery with a relatively constant voltage during its life until the voltage drops off sharply when it dies. A standard replacement is SR44. The 357A is an alkaline battery the voltage of which drops slowly and constantly during its life. There are also silver oxide versions of this cell (ENERGIZER 357/303) with similar voltage characteristics. A standard replacement is the LR44. Practically, if your device is more demanding of its battery (for example, fancy calculators and measuring devices), use the 357, if it is less demending, you can use the 357A. If you try a 357A, and your device doesn't run very long on it, then it is more demanding, and you should switch to the 357 next time you get new batteries.

What is a wye pipe?

There is no such thing as a WYE pipe there is a WYE FITTING that allows a connection at a 45 DEG angle for either better venting or drainage

The above answer is not totally correct. For a long time now when someone uses the wrong terminology it just gets my goat. In actuallity a WYE fitting looks just like a printed capital "Y".

What the thing is that the person has stated above is called a lateral. Two entirely different things.
