Over the past few years I have come to realize that I function and learn best using a specific set of senses or what some would call learning types. The basic types are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (http://www.usd.edu/trio/tut/ts/style.html). A person can use a different style depending on the task. One example for me is reading. I hate to read; not the consuming information part because I love that but the physical act of reading. When given a book to read my eyes glaze over and I am
It is a truism that it is far far easier to criticize than to compliment. I guess it is just part of human nature. I myself am rather critical of Microsoft in many ways especially their ubiquitous Os, Windows. Now I am going to challenge us though and ask a tough question, what does Microsoft do right? I would have to start with their website. Support.microsoft.com is a remarkable source for any issue you might be having with windows or an MS product. Also MSDN.microsoft.com and their technet a
Web Browser And Taskbar Problems (web Browser Disappears)
First off, I would like to say thanks for taking the time to read my thread... Er then I won't have a second or any others, I will just get to my questions.Okay, so I recently noticed that my web browser windows when I minimized them to the task bar just disappeared. They seemingly minimzed to a spot that I couldn't see to the down and right of the start button. I know how to get around this in a couple of ways if I have to... But I was just curious to see if anyone knew how to fix it a
What To Look From A Java Hosting Service Provider
Is it just me ? I see very few Java Hosting Providers compared to the ones with ASP and PHP. Agreed Java is the first choice in upscale environments, however being open and free, I thought I would bump into many cost friendly Java Hosting providers, but in vein. It seems Microsoft still rules in low end market. What should we look for from a Java Hosting Service Provider ? I have listed my priorities in descending order. Please comment. 1) Look at the file storage and band width requirement. 20
I'd like to know how to disable gmail sending a copy of everything i send from a browser to my outlook express. The reason i use the browser soemtimes is because the internet is too slow for the outlook express pop client. So it's pretty useless for me if the next time i open outlook a copy of everything i sent comes in. how can i disable it? i'm sure it's a simple thing, and one that eludes me.
Hiding Your Personal Files From Pros
Inspired by this thread, I decided to launch this one to see how you folks approach the issue of securing your private files at work or at places where computer-professionals can access the machine you use. Following is my response to ethergeek's post in the aforementioned topic:QUOTE(ethergeek @ May 14 2007, 06:46 PM) [snapback]103520[/snapback]The best way to hide your private files is to not keep them on machines that aren't yours.I agree with that completely. Such machine co
So, on our network at work we have a virus called "rejoice46.exe", but no anti virus, anti spyware, anti anything will pick it up. I googled it, nothing happened.. By standard, we just deleted the file, but it comes back and then stops you from entering certain locations of your hard drive. Obviously, a reformat will rid the system of it, but in a network of over 200 computers, we don't have the time to do this, and reinstall all the programs and data. Any suggestions? Because at t
Effect Of The Global Financial Crisis On It Jobs
My Graduation (Bachelor in Computer Application) and Software Engineering (NIIT's GNIIT Program) degree will be complete by February 2009. I don't understand much about the ongoing financial crisis in the world. But, its imperative to know what its all about and what kind of effect it will have on our careers.Last year, one of my friends was recruited by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India through campus selection held at his college. He was to join the company this August. But, TCS h
When a browser connects to the Web server, it automatically sends an HTTP User Agent header. This header is an ASCII string that identifies the browser and its version number. The BrowserType object compares the header to entries in the Browscap.ini file.If it finds a match, the BrowserType object assumes the properties of the browser listing that matched the User Agent header.

I sent a computer in for a motherboard replacement. I could have done it myself, but i figured why not save some time. The computer came back from the shop with not only the motherboard replaced, but the hard drive reformatted and windows reinstalled as well. After yelling at the guy for his stupidity, I've now settled down to try to recover the lost data. The problem with what i'm using (R-studio) is that it will recover a formatted partition, but because windows has been installed agai
I personally loathe glossy screened computers. I much prefer the original, matte screen which is, unfortunately, dying. I know people like the higher contrast but poor viewing angles, varying levels of glare (depending on computer), and inconsistency of colors (a killer for CG artists) are enough to keep me far, far away.So what do you guys usually do on your computer and thus, which do you prefer?
Hello guys!I feel like getting into a "Myth Buster" mood. There are always so many myths and things surrounding computers/the Internet/science technology. My uncle leaves his router on 24/7 and my mum suggests we let our router "rest" when it's not in use. Because I am unsure of who is right, I'll ask you guys.Is there any harm in leaving the router on 24/7 or at least when it's not in use?Thanks in advance.

Just got my new hardware setup and I love it. I do a lot of programming and as a result a lot of switching between programs. Now I can leave my browser open on one screen and my editor and FTP client open on the other. Saving me a lot of time!!!So here is what I got...EVGA e-GeForce 8600GT PCI-E dual DVI output video card.2 HP L1910 19 inch flat panel monitors.Just for fun, I also added a second Western Digital WD1600JS 160GB SATA hard drive which I configured in a RAID 1 for mirr
I bought an Acer Aspire 5601WLMI for $850 after rebates. It has an AMD Turion 64 X2 ML-50 processor, 2 GB DDR2 ram, 120GB hard drive, 15.4 in brightview widescreen, etc. I did alot of online research before i bought it, as I don't like Acers, and would have gone for a Compaq or Dell had i had more time. But it seemed to get pretty high reviews, and on notebookreview.com it was in the top 5. But has anyone here had any experience with one of them, and can shed more light on whether i mad
I don't know when this started to happen, probably not caused by me though, but my System Sounds don't work anymore. You know how when you change your volume in Windows, it makes a beeping sound to tell you how loud or quiet you've turned your volume into? Well, it doesn't make that sound anymore. But, I can still listen to music and sounds of my own or in games, etc., just not "Windows generated".I think the problem is some wrong setting in the Sound and Audio Devices

I'm wondering how people use computer software to create a vista. I know that I can go onto Google or Yahoo! or whatever and download different vistas, but I was wondering if I could make my own that would be realistic.What programs do you recommend? I would prefer free, open-source software that preferably works on Linux. As for the companies providing CDs/packages of vistas, do they actually create it themselves or do they have to go to take them?Just wondering.
When I built my new system, I kept my old one in tact. I partitioned the drive and loaded Linux (Fedora Core) on it for fun and learning. Of course I kept WinXP installed with all of my old files but I didn't have room for 2 computers so I got a KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) switch. This allows me to use one keyboard, one monitor, and one mouse for two computers! They have switches for more than 2 computers which would be great if you have a number of servers running but obviously don&#
