How to remove Fake Software (pop-ups), Spyware, Trojans and Viruses:



Download, install, update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware, delete what ever they find, if this fails to completely remove the virus/spyware download then update Avast and run a boot scan (click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC), all the software below is free and safe to use.



Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php



SuperantiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/



Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht鈥?/a>



To protect your PC in the future you'll need to install anti-virus software and a firewall, id recommend using Avast and Comodo Pro firewall both are very effective and completely free, you should also switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE as its much safer and a lot easier to use.

Why is my computer acting strange?
what does the pop up window tell you? what version of windows are you running?
You should get AVG Free Edition. To download this go to http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afe and click on download. This should fix your problem.
Free anti-malware software:



Spybot Search and Destroy

You can also buy Norton, McAfee, AVG, Panda, TrendMicro, and others at Wal-Mart, Target, Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, Best Buy, depending on what they have in stock.

Jennifer Love Hewitt or Eliza Dushku?

Which in your opinion is:



1. Best Actress?

2. Most Attractive?

3. Been in the better programmes/ movies?



everytime i watch something with them in, im always changing my mind which one i like more lol.
Jennifer Love Hewitt or Eliza Dushku?
Best actress: Eliza dushku by FAR, she has more %26quot;sides%26quot; to her and is realistic playing her characters, she is multi-dimensional and proves this with her ever changing personalities in %26quot;Dollhouse%26quot;



Most attractive: has to be Jennifer love hewitt, but only as her character in %26quot;Heartbreakers%26quot; she was hella hot in that movie



Been in better programmes / movies: Eliza dushku, i have watched all of her movies and loved her as Faith in %26quot;Buffy the vampire slayer%26quot; that is how she first got my attention, i loved the badass, kickass character in that show, i love Dollhouse, she was great in %26quot;Soul survivors%26quot; and of course %26quot;Angel%26quot; %26quot;Tru calling%26quot; etc..... she rocks :-)
Jennifer Love Hewitt or Eliza Dushku?
BEST ACTRESS: well, since i've seen jennifer love hewitt in more films and stuff than eliza dushku, i'll say jennifer love hewitt.



MOST ATTRACTIVE: both are just as pretty :)



BEEN IN BETTER PROGRAMMES/MOVIES: again, ive only ever seen and heard of eliza dushku from dollhouse, so i'll say jen.

My display settings are acting weird and change when I startup my computer.?

I know how to change my display settings. I have always used the 1024 x 768 pixel setting. All of a sudden, when I exit programs or turn on my computer it is at the 800 x 600 setting. I keep changing it back but it always changes back on me. Why would my computer, after all this time, decide that it only wants to use the 800 x 600? How come it won't stay where it's always been at the 1024 x 768? I haven't installed any new software or hardward, so that's not the issue. How can I get my computer to use the 1024 x 768 setting again. Yes, I hit apply when i change and restart, but when it restarts it's back to 800 x 600. Please help!!!
My display settings are acting weird and change when I startup my computer.?
If you have really added no new software or hardware (including windows updates?), then you are most likely facing a hardware failure. What you describe, it could be the ram or your video card. At this point I would try to do some troubleshooting. Do the following:



1) If you are familiar with Linux, use any Linux CD distro that supports your vide card (you didn't specify what you have). If you aren't then you can try a BartPE disk. You might have to install drivers for your video card. Boot from that disk and see if it can hold your video settings. If it can, then you don't have a hardware problem but a software one goto #2. If it can't goto #3.



2) Uninstall your video card drivers fully, reboot and reinstall the newest version (you didn't specify what video card you have but goto ATI or nvidia's website depending on what card you have). If that doesn't work, reinstall windows.



:End



3) Run memtest and see if your ram is going bad. Any error in memtest means that it is. More info in the memtest link below. If you get an error, follow the website instructions (remove one stick, retest. replace ram, etc) till you get no errors. Then see if your problem goes away. Else...



4) Pull out video card and put into another system. See if the same error occurs there.



If 3 and 4 check out the you got another hardware problem somewhere. Good luck!

Is there a program online I can use to solve an equation like this?

I'm currently playing a videogame that has a bunch of objects available for different values and I figured out an math problem to see which object is best to use.



1728a=864b=144c=72d=12e=4f=3g=2h



I'm calculator illiterate and the values that are part of the variable change regularly. Is there a program that I can just input this equation and then put in a variable so that it will solve it for me, so I always know which game item is always the best buy?
Is there a program online I can use to solve an equation like this?
nope you will have to use your brain
Is there a program online I can use to solve an equation like this?
That particular problem has infinitely many solutions. Are you looking for the least values? Then it's

a = 1

b = 2

c = 12

d = 24

e = 144

f = 432

g = 576

h = 864

Why does Photoshop beep when I try to change image size?

I am using Photoshop 7.0 and have always used this program. Recently when I click on image%26gt; image size no box appears like it usually does to allow me to change dimensions and when I click the mouse anywhere I get a beep as if there is an error and everything is frozen. It will beep about 20 to 30 times when clicking and then it is all unfrozen but still no image size box. Everything else is working fine. What is going on??

  • Is there a way to change the type of font a word program uses as default?

    I use a word processing software called Angel Writer, and it's very similar to Misrosoft Word... Anyway, I HATE times new roman font and every time I copy and paste words to it, it does them in times new roman size 12 and I really need the font to always be Verdana size 10. There is a HUGE difference, and I can't deal with this...



    Please don't tell me crap like %26quot;just use that font%26quot; or %26quot;get a new word software%26quot; just answer the question, thank you. I really need to know how the change the default font on that program, so if anyone knows, please help. Thanks.
    Is there a way to change the type of font a word program uses as default?
    Looked all over for more in depth info on Angel Writer, but not much. I am going to guess from the screen shot I looked at, that you might find the options to change the normal template used from the File Menu unless there is a Preferences/Options under Tools.



    I think Word use to ask or have you save any changes to the normal.doc. Memory may be faulty there, but that is the default file opened and is where fonts, colors, sizes, page margins were defaults you were able to set.



    Might experiment with it under File%26gt;Page Layout or similarly named path. Or, look under the Help file (F1) or click the Help Menu at top.

    How can I buy a big screen TV that levels out the sound for commercials and also for changes of the channel?

    The sound always jumps up in loudness during commercials and often jumps up in volume when changing a TV from one channel to another. There are things called auto volume leveler and SmartSound, but they seem to do one or the other but not both. TV salesmen seem to be very poorly informed about the sound leveling programs and devices in their big screen TVs. Please help! I need a TV that does not jump up in volume during commercials or when changing from one channel to another.
    How can I buy a big screen TV that levels out the sound for commercials and also for changes of the channel?
    My cable box had an audio setting called %26quot;Dynamic Range Compression%26quot;. When set to MAXIMUM - it keeps the volume in a narrower range. This solve the problem for me.
    How can I buy a big screen TV that levels out the sound for commercials and also for changes of the channel?
    buy a better tv. those features work better on higher models, I went through 2 LCD tv's and settled on a DLP, i got slightly less technology for close to the same price, but the difference was that all those features, the smart sound, the auto leveler, the fine tune features, actually worked. another thing that affects the channel changing is if you are using a cable box, and a surround sound system, you have to find the perfect levels on your aux. items first, and never ever adjust them, so for instance, find a perfect level on ur cable box, then never use that for volume again, the reason being is that greatly alters your TV's effectiveness.
    Buy a new reciever that has the Audyssey Dynamic EQ feature. It just came out this year. the cheapest reciever to get this feature is on the Onkyo 606 (cost about 400.00).



    Radio shack also sells seperate box that does an okay job on this, but only effects the volume if using a seperate reciever, it will not work on your TV's speakers.

    I really doubt, seriously that Bank of America gives anyone free money!! They are not too popular here in Southern California, because you have to pay them for everything...and when their is a mistake somewhere in your account...they do not stand behind you!!! They charge, charge, charge you!!

    If you do not keep a certain amount of moneuy in a savings account they will charge you monthly until th emoney is gone. They made that legal in the 80's. Close the account unless you have neough money in it to cover withdrawls orverdrafts and it doesn't do u any good to keep anythig in a savings account that they will penalize you for.

    Frostwire(limewire) Program help?

    Right now im trying to download final fantasy 7 for the pc (its actually a real game for the pc) but when ever i download something it says its corrupted or a virus or something. And i noticed that that always happens when i downloads Programs. Why is it like that. What can i change about it
    Frostwire(limewire) Program help?
    Take this into consideration when downloading p2p, it's reported that almost half of all executable files on these networks contain viruses.



    All you can do is scan any file you D/L with MULTIPLE AV programs,.
    Frostwire(limewire) Program help?
    dont u se limewire to download games or movies.....instead it should be called viruswire..is full of them.........

    download morpheus for all kinds of movies games etc.
    almost all programs and a lot of the video on limewire is corrupt, like trojans and viruses. I don't know what to do about it though.
    Dont risk it! There is like a 50/50 chance that the file you are trying to download contains a virus. Try to find it on www.download.com
    Nothing is wrong with your computer. 80%+ of programs on Limewire ARE viruses and corrupt. My suggestion is to NOT download programs from Limewire.



    If you REALLY feel that you don't want to buy the game and want to download it, try reading about torrents. Some information about torrents and torrenting:



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent
    never use limewire for program downloads almost all of them are viruses try useing bitcomet its alot more slower then limewire but atleast theres 99.991% less viruses and fakes then limewire and go to websites such as wtorrent.com thepiratebay.org or torrentbox.com

    I have a program that requires 256 colours; but my monitor is normally set to 32-bit True colours. Is there a way to create a file or key that will automatically change the settings back and forth.

    I am using Windows 98 se and the program was originally created for windows 3.1/95.

    I have tried %26quot;Remote Keys%26quot;, but the mouse clicks are not always in the same place and it only works one in a hundred times.

    you tried with mouse clicks in remote keys, but not keystrokes. try using %26quot;remote keys%26quot;, but go through the keystrokes.

    Is there a program that it will eleminate the standby program?
    How do I disactivate the standby mode in my computer .?
    You may have third-party software running your power settings (this is particularly common with laptops). Look around in your Start menu and in the system tray (bottom right corner of your screen) for anything running that you don't normally mess with. Find what is controlling your power settings and either use it or uninstall it.

    Why does Bush always do the incomprehensible, and avoid the logical?

    Excerpts from today's Reuter's report:

    In a stinging defeat for the Bush administration, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that U.S. environmental officials have the power to regulate greenhouse gas emissions that spur global warming.



    By a 5-4 vote, the nation's highest court told the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider its refusal to regulate carbon dioxide and other emissions from new cars and trucks that contribute to climate change.



    The high court ruled that such greenhouse gases from motor vehicles fall within the law's definition of an air pollutant.



    The ruling in one of the most important environmental cases to reach the Supreme Court marked the first high court decision in a case involving global warming.



    President George W. Bush has opposed mandatory controls on greenhouse gases as harmful to the U.S. economy, and the administration instead has called for voluntary programs.



    In 2003, the EPA refused to regulate the emissions, saying it lacked the power to do so. Even if it had the power, the EPA said it would be unwise to do it and would impair Bush's ability to negotiate with developing nations to cut emissions.



    The states and environmental groups that brought the lawsuit hailed the ruling.



    %26quot;As a result of today's landmark ruling, EPA can no longer hide behind the fiction that it lacks any regulatory authority to address the problem of global warming,%26quot; Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley said.



    Greenhouse gases occur naturally and also are emitted by cars, trucks and factories into the atmosphere. They can trap heat close to Earth's surface like the glass walls of a greenhouse.
    Why does Bush always do the incomprehensible, and avoid the logical?
    Bush doesn't have two brain cells to rub together.
    Why does Bush always do the incomprehensible, and avoid the logical?
    He has terrible handlers who don't care how he looks. They have him twisting in the wind. Hope he gets rid of them.
    In your glee , I hope you realize, we all emit carbon dioxide.
    Bush is too busy trying to figure out how to get

    himself out the mess he made in Irag, that is why

    all his effort is in this mess he made. His adminis-

    tration can handle only so much and the majority

    of them are as lost as Bush is, so they're all in the

    mess togeather.
    Bush's handlers have not instructed him to attend to that. It's not what he was put in power to do.
    I saw a small report on the Supreme Court's finding. Aside from the fact that the EPA's right to enforce CO2 emissions standards was affirmed (well, DUH), the Supreme Court found that even if the current theories on global warming are wrong, the catastrophic consequences were too important to be ignored.

  • How can I change my voice in theater?

    Okay, so im in the theater program at my high school. Im good at acting, %26amp; i always get roles in the school plays, but i never get the staring/co-staring roles in them. %26amp; i know why.



    Im a naturally shy person, so when i talk to certain adults, or when im in front of alot of people, my voice changes to the really high baby voice, so when i act, it sounds really fake, you know sort of like the ovaltine commercials.



    do you have any advice?
    How can I change my voice in theater?
    When I was in High School I had a similar problem. When I would try to project my voice would go up into the higher registers. My director got to the point where he would yell at me from the house to lower my voice [Thanks, Mr. Swanson] to make me aware of my voice rising.



    Your shyness is causing you to take shallow breaths thus making your voice rise. The trick is to make sure you support your diaphragm [the membrane under your lungs and above your stomach] so that you can use your lower registers. This means that you need to breathe from the bottom of your lungs rather than the top. If you are in choir or chorus you will get practice, if not ask the music teacher for some pointers on how to do this. Think of breathing from your stomach [you can feel your stomach rise when you do] this gives your lungs the support they need to push your voice out. It will save wear and tear on your vocal cords and help you keep your normal speaking voice.



    Another good exercise is to lay flat on the floor and try and sing a song. You can't breathe shallow in this position so you'll be forced to really support your voice.



    Best of luck to you!
    How can I change my voice in theater?
    If you can, I'd look into the Alexander Technique. It should be able to help you with your immediate problem, but also offer a lot of other things to your acting.

    I open an account with bank of america, i always keep my money in my checking account, for some reason there?
    That is how their 'Keep the Change' program works. If you enroll in the program, they will take the transactions that you make, round them up to a whole dollar amount, and place that difference into your savings account. For example, say you pay for something that comes to $11.75 with your debit card. They will round that up to $12.00 and debit that against your checking account. $11.75 will go to pay the merchant and $0.25 will be deposited to your savings account. It is a kind of self-imposed savings program. However, it is an optional program and if you ware not happy with them doing that, then tell them you don't wish to participate.
    I open an account with bank of america, i always keep my money in my checking account, for some reason there?
    It sounds like you don't understand how the accounts you opened work. Go talk to the bank.
    Tell me a good reason not to have a savings account.

    Plus with that program they match part of the money.

    There's something wrong with my computer. IT won't uninstall any program and when i click uninstall again, it says wait until another program is finished uninstalling or changed.

    Everytime my computer starts and shutdown, it always says configuring updates. IT also says that my computer is unprotected when I do have protection installed.

    I tried uninstalling different programs just to make sure.
    My computer won't uninstall any program?
    Are you getting a pop-up telling you your computer is unprotected? If so, the next time it pops up, write down the name of it and do an internet search on it. Look for an anti-spyware program that says it will remove that spyware program specifically. So search for something like this....



    anti-virus 2010 spyware removal



    Just replace anti-virus 2010 with whatever the name of the popup is you get. If you are getting one.



    If you are not getting a popup, go into the control panel and check your windows security center. What does it say? Protected or not? Firewall on or not? What type of anti-virus/spyware are you using? AVG and Avast are too good ones that are free. Malwarebytes is a good tool to use to get rid of viruses already on your computer.



    You can also try to restore you computer to an earlier point. Go to start%26gt;all programs%26gt;accessories%26gt;system tools%26gt;restore.



    I would install and use AVG. Search for AVG and download it from a good site like cnet. It's free and works good.

    Some questions about learning to program from a book?

    Hi, I would like to learn how to program but I'm having a little bit of trouble finding the right resource to do it.



    There are just so many books out there, and so many routes to becoming a programmer!



    I took a semester of computer science in college, but I figure it would probably be best to start clean from the beginning.



    What I want is a really well written book or online tutorial. I don't really care what programming language it is, as long as it is one of the big ones, like Java, C, C++, or python, I'm open on that. I just want to be able to learn algorithms and all the concepts I need to know to tell a computer what to do and be able to easily learn other languages.



    I'm willing to put in the time and hard work.



    Quality and ease of learning are what is important to me.



    Should I consider the age of a book when deciding what book or tutorial to learn from? I've always enjoyed books that are kind of lighthearted, and Head First Java (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596004651 ) seems to really fit the bill for me. But the last edition was released in 2004, and it goes by an outdated version of Java. Is there any reason I should not use that book because of its age?



    Another example of the kind of writing I learn well from would be Joe Burns' incredibly old tutorials on HTML (which I followed in elementary school). www.htmlgoodies.com



    For dummies books kind of capture the writing style I want, but it is my understanding that the quality of information presented is very low in that series.



    So to recap, I'm looking for a book or online tutorial that meets the following criteria:



    - Will teach me what I need to know to program well in some language (with a time and work investment)

    - Is oriented towards beginners

    - but most importantly, IS DARN WELL WRITTEN. I'm looking for the kind of book that is mind-blowingly life changing. The kind that is written by somebody obviously so in love with the subject they're writing about that there's no possible way they could ever present the information in an uninteresting manner.



    So what books would you suggest? Why?
    Some questions about learning to program from a book?
    The only book I ever read that fits that criteria for me is Learning Python by O'Reilly Books, but I'm not convinced that's the best book for someone new to programming, if only because I think Python is a terrible language to learn programming on (as much as I absolutely adore Python). The reason is that Python syntax is perhaps a bit too powerful for the new user; when you can express very complex and powerful ideas with only a single line of code, you can have a hard time trying to understand all the things that one line is doing. Most classes that purport to teach programming via Python seem to force their students to restrict themselves in how they solve the learning exercises...because they're usually forced to re-write something that's already built-in!



    In my opinion, C and C++ are excellent languages for learning the very basics of programming, like variables, arrays, conditionals, loops, functions, recursion, and so on. You really have to learn how to solve problems using these basic constructions before you can learn shortcut syntax like what Python provides. I also don't think you need to start with a purely object-oriented language like Java and C#, since objects tend to muddy the waters a bit when you're first learning how to think like a programmer (because seriously, that's the biggest hurdle when starting out, just learning how to think like a programmer when you approach a problem).



    Since I learned C and C++ in a classroom environment and didn't teach myself how to program with a book, I'm unfortunately unable to offer you a specific suggestion with regard to what book to pick up. I hope you'll consider my advice when you do pick a book, though. When you learn how to solve problems in C and C++, it's really quite easy to move on and pick up just about anything else.

You can download it, always free at http://irfanview.com/ . The developer keeps improving it and issuing new versions as needed. I don't think you'd be disappointed.

    Changing High Schools?

    I'm in the IB (International Baccalaureate... it's like taking all AP classes) program at my high school here and I absolutely hate it. I had to transfer to a different school and I don't have very many friends. The work is hard, and I moved in to a very rich school and I always feel like I am not enough. All of my friends from middle school went to a different high school. This one is a lot closer to my house, and I think I would do much better there. I miss all my friends, and I think I may be depressed. I've talked to both my parents about changing but they give me a bunch of crap about how I'm not going at my full potential and that this whole thing is just about my friends. My mom says that I can think about it my sophmore year, but I don't think I can handle 3 more quarters. How can I convince them to let me change back?
    Changing High Schools?
    Don't change . Listen to your parents.

    Changing careers and becoming a teacher ? Want to teach but don't have any experience..?

    For the last 3 years I worked for a financial services company doing document imaging work and now I'm considering changing careers and becoming a teacher. I'm in the process of filling out an application for a teaching fellowship program but I'm worried that I don't have the right kind of experience . When I was younger, I always wanted to teach but I never pursued it. I've been thinking about it more and more mainly because I've become bored with my current job but I'm a little worried because I don't have any experience. The main reason why I wanted to teach was because I didn't like the way most of the teachers I had taught me and I always wanted to be a positive influence on young people but I've never worked with kids. Will this work against me ? What can I do ?
    Changing careers and becoming a teacher ? Want to teach but don't have any experience..?
    You sound like a great candidate for a teacher. The best teachers always lament how they didn't like how they were taught. The best way to find out specific information for the state you live in is to type into your search engine %26quot;alternative certification Texas (or whatever state you are from). If you didn't get your BA then I would talk to the teacher certification department at one of your local colleges. With a little luck, you could be teaching next school year.
    Changing careers and becoming a teacher ? Want to teach but don't have any experience..?
    If you don't have enough relivent experience you may need to consider going to College. If you can go full time year around you should be able to finish in 3 years.
    go observe some teachers- middl/ high- as manyobsevations in as may different schools as u can.

    make the decion with open eyes- not limiting yrself to anythgin at first.

    they if u are sure then start reading some really good books like MARZANO or hands on learning activities.



    we need math teachers who can brign in real life experiences and make math real -

    we need people who can communicate and scaffold learning to that the students readch the aims of the class. weneed people who are passionate about their subjects and yet have the structures in place to calmly put info across.

    we need listeners of students

    students are the ones actively learnign - u are not the center of attention in the classroom - they should be showing u how they learn.

    you have already a lot of strengths as a team player in the corporate world- bring them to the game

    the gam e of learning!!!!



    take some teachign courses first............
    Honestly, it sounds like you'd be a great candidate for teaching. Just make sure you talk to any advisor type person at your college...each state has their own requirements. Your fellowship program should give you enough experience and I doubt you'll have any trouble.



    Good Luck

    Possibly changing careers at 25?

    I graduated college in 2006 with a B.A. in English and writing. I have since been working as a paralegal, and currently enjoy the firm for which I am working. I enjoy the work for the most part, but lately I have been wondering if this is really what I want to do. I know that my English degree helps in this field, but I sometimes question whether or not I'm selling myself too short. I have gone back and forth between continuing as a paralegal and going back to school to become an English teacher. I would basically have the program completely paid for, and I believe I could juggle going to class and working full-time, as I've done it before. The problem is, I'm very nervous about changing career, as I would be out of my comfort zone. I've always been shy, although I've become more outgoing wth age. I would love more than anything to teach literature and/or writing, especially to middle school students, and that is when I really got into writing. Any advice?
    Possibly changing careers at 25?
    I think 25 is not too early nor too late to make a career change. Comfort zones can actually be a dangerous thing for us sometimes. We can get complacent, then let %26quot;opportunities%26quot; pass us by. It only knocks once, or so they say.
    Possibly changing careers at 25?
    You should do it! You stated yourself that you would like to teach more than anything and you are only 25, not 75! Plus, your currently position would make you more employable and it is what you truly want to do. Another point is that if you chose not to, you will always wish that you had of.
    do it, if you love literature, and you enjoy kids than teaching will be great. Now remember just like any job their are things that suck, low pay, bad admin. but this can be overcome by caring about your kids. Their is a teacher shortage in the west, but in the midwest teachers are loosing their jobs. The trick in teaching is teaching your passion or love of literature to kids that just want to myspace or text.
    I think it is a great idea. You are only two years out of school - not exactly ancient - and it would be relatively easy to get a credential. You could certainly do that part time. The only thing I would look into is the demand in your state, as some are hiring, while others are laying teachers off.



    By the way, as to shyness, one of the best ways to overcome it is to work with young people. I was very shy when I started teaching, and I still have some trouble speaking in front of my peers, but never with students.
    An enormous service you could do for yourself is to explore your options deeper. If you were to become a teacher: where would you like to teach? Contact the area's district office's of public %26amp; private education centers...acquire their policies %26amp; procedures, as well as the expectations of their staff %26amp; salary possibilities (most are pretty much the same). Do you really want to teach under their limitations %26amp; leadership agenda? Then look into the Waldorf school system and compare--Huge difference!!! With much more diverse opportunity %26amp; freedom for the teacher to encompass, and in 1 year you could be in the classroom.



    Challenge makes you nervous??? Allow me to share a little 'secret': You do not %26quot;become%26quot; of old %26amp; comfortable...you %26quot;become%26quot; of new %26amp; explorable. Life is an adventure, My Dear...an adventure %26amp; opportunity to become the grandest You that little heart desires...%26quot;To be, or not to be...%26quot; the only choice of every situation we face. (sound familiar??? lol:)



    Keep your soul sounds in tune as you explore those opts...they scream pretty loud when the right move comes along...if you are listening.



    Good Journey!!!
    ok. i'm going to start this with IN THE CURRENT ECONOMIC TIMES, you need %26quot;the bird in the hand%26quot;. yeah, you may question, but, right now a JOB is a JOB. let's just walk this out. What if you don't like teaching? i'd rather have a job where i enjoy life than worry about a job where every year I have to worry whether or not someone likes me.
    I made a career change when I was 24, from the business world into teaching. It can be done, and I've been teaching full time for 3 years...



    Your best bet would be to find a college near you that offers a %26quot;Post-Bacculareate Certification Program%26quot; (i can never spell that word)...If they offer this, then they will offer classes in the evening. You would need to do a semester of student teaching, and that would be during the day.



    Do what you love. If it is what you want, then go for it. Better at 25 than 55, right?

    Which Chemistry Graduate Program should I go to? URGENT!?

    I live in Florida and I recently received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences. I finished with a 3.87 GPA, did okay on my GRE general test, and I did an Honors Thesis. I’m interested in getting a Ph.D. in Chemistry. I haven’t decided which Chemistry I want to study, but it’s likely that I’m going to choose between Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. In the long-term, I would like to get accepted to a position at a university where I can conduct and be involved in chemical research, and I would also like to teach chemistry as a professor. I applied and got accepted to the Ph.D. programs at the following schools. However, I do not know which school I want to go to. I checked out the programs from each school and I looked at various rankings, but I still can’t decide. Please help me make this choice and explain with reasoning on where I should go, as I have a life changing decision to make. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.



    University of Florida



    I always wanted to go to UF. It’s definitely the top university in Florida and it is considered as a “Public Ivy”. They will pay my tuition and offer me a teaching assistantship currently worth $19,000 a year. If I go there, I don’t have to deal with residency issues as I am already a Florida resident, and I don’t have to move very far from home. It’s going to be the cheapest of the schools I applied to cost-wise. However, there are a lot of people that go there and I’m afraid that they might have a budget crisis.



    Georgia Institute of Technology



    It’s a public Institute of Technology and they have a great chemistry program. There is a chemical ecology professor over there that I really want to work with. They are offering me a fellowship that is worth up to $28,000. They are very strong in terms of academics and they offer a huge number of chemistry graduate courses. Out of all the schools I applied to, it was the hardest school I got into. Not as good as the other Institutes of Technology though.



    Indiana University – Bloomington



    From what I heard, they have a very strong chemistry program. Their Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry departments are excellent. It’s one of the best places to go for academia. They are offering me a five year reward package that includes a first year stipend of $21,373.20, plus $24,617 for tuition fee remission, $1,913 for healthcare, and Chemistry Department Fellowship of $1,000 for my first year of graduate work. However, I keep hearing rumors that it’s a party school.



    Iowa State University



    It’s a good research school, especially in the chemistry department. They are also good in academics. They will pay my tuition and offer me a stipend with teaching or research assistantship currently worth $22,800 per year. I don’t know how good the university is in terms of reputation though.



    Johns Hopkins University



    Johns Hopkins University is definitely a good school. It is no doubt one of the best schools in the country and perhaps the whole world. They will pay for my tuition and offer me monthly stipends, with the exact amount to be determined. A degree from Johns Hopkins is certainly good for my career. However, since it is a private university, it can be a bit pricey and it’s going to be very tough to live in Baltimore. Even though it is a great university overall, I hear that their chemistry program is just plain average.
    Which Chemistry Graduate Program should I go to? URGENT!?
    The University of Florida would probabally be the best if you wanted to go into research and live in your current area in the future.



    It sounds like Georgia got a bump in your rankings because it has someone you really want to work with, but I don't find that to be a good reason.



    Indiana and Iowa should be ruled out due to lower quality / reputation right away. Plus in terms of living, either one would be a huge shift from Florida life, would you be ready for that?



    John Hopkins is great, but if the program is subpar and you don't want to go into the corporate world (where big name recognition if more of an issue), why consider it?
    Which Chemistry Graduate Program should I go to? URGENT!?
    Have you visited any of the schools? If not, I would recommend doing so ASAP. That should help. Otherwise, I would go for one of the first 3 that you mentioned.

    Is there a way to automaticly record changes made to a website?

    I am currently making a site for my job, its a spanish translation to the one they already have. My boss wants it to always be up-to-date and almost in sync to the original. I dont want to search for the changes on 100 pages and the other web designers incharge of the english site dont want to type it in a %26quot;change log%26quot;. So therefor I need an automatic way to know if anything has changed in any of the sites. Any suggestions?



    I have FTP access to the english site, so if there is a script or program that needs to write the change log in the original site, there is no problem with that.
    Is there a way to automaticly record changes made to a website?
    The easiest thing would be to compare the file modification dates of the English page and its Spanish counterpart.



    For example, if you know that the Spanish index.html page you made on May 1, 2007 at 3:40 p.m. was an exact copy of the English index.html page available at that time, then if the English index.html page ever has a modification or creation date after May 1, 2007 at 3:40 p.m., then you know the English page, in all likelihood, is no longer the same as the Spanish page.



    You can check file mod dates through any of the popular scripting languages: PHP, ASP.NET, JSP, etc. For example, in PHP, you'd do something like this:



    $en =%26quot;en/index.html%26quot;;

    $sp = %26quot;sp/index.html%26quot;;

    $entime = time();

    $sptime = $entime;



    if(file_exists($en) {

    $entime = filectime($en);

    }



    if(file_exists($sp) {

    $entime = filectime($sp);

    }



    if($sp %26lt; $en) {

    echo %26quot;English file [$en] has been modified since last Spanish file [$sp] update!%26quot;;

    }



    You could even write a simple dll / executable that could check this for you once a day and send you an e-mail of all changed page URLs.



    Finally, it makes a lot of sense, if you are going to have mutli-language content, to change your site to pull text and other language-sensitive information from a DB. Then, you just need to track when there needs to be a change of Spanish from English via the DB; you could track that with a simple trigger.
    Is there a way to automaticly record changes made to a website?
    if you have FTP access, you should be able to view the date that the page was modified. the easiest way to notice if something has been changed is to check for that on a daily basis.

    Fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming in Java, CS 145, Spring 2010

    Program 3 – Game of Life

    10 points

    Due: Friday, 4/30/2010 at 12:00 noon



    Overall Task:

    Write a program that allows a user to play the game of Life. This will give you an opportunity to practice with classes and objects, as well as with two-dimensional arrays.



    Background:

    You are to write a Java program that “plays” the game of Life. The Game of Life (or simply Life) is not a game in the conventional sense. There are no players, and no winning or losing. Once the %26quot;pieces%26quot; are placed in the starting position, the rules determine everything that happens later. Nevertheless, Life is full of surprises! In most cases, it is impossible to look at a starting position (or pattern) and see what will happen in the future. The only way to find out is to follow the rules of the game.

    Life is played on a grid of square cells--like a chess board. A cell can be live or dead. A live cell is shown by putting a marker (an ‘X’) on its square. A dead cell is shown by leaving the square empty (or, for text display, we’ll use a dash (‘-‘). Each cell in the grid has a neighborhood consisting of the eight cells in every direction including diagonals.



    To apply one step of the rules, we count the number of live neighbors for each cell. What happens next depends on this number.



    A dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell (birth).





    A live cell with two or three live neighbors stays alive (survival).







    In all other cases, a cell dies or remains dead (overcrowding or loneliness).









    Note: The number of live neighbors is always based on the cells before the rule was applied. In other words, we must first find all of the cells that change before changing any of them, e.g. by making the changes to a temporary “copy” grid and then re-applying them back to the current grid.



    Life is one of the simplest examples of what is sometimes called %26quot;emergent complexity%26quot; or %26quot;self-organizing systems.%26quot; This subject area has captured the attention of scientists and mathematicians in diverse fields. It is the study of how elaborate patterns and behaviors can emerge from very simple rules. It helps us understand, for example, how the petals on a rose or the stripes on a zebra can arise from a tissue of living cells growing together. It can even help us understand the diversity of life that has evolved on earth.



    Design Constraint:

    You must follow the design provided. That is, you must use the classes that I provide to you, use names as I specify and use the method signatures where they are specified for the program that you turn in. I am giving you a JAR file, LifeStudent.jar, which contains some Java class files that will form the basis of your program. These files include:

    Main.java – a small main program class to “drive” the game

    Life.java – a class for the Life game overall

    Grid.java – a class for the grid that holds the cells

    We’ll later add Cell.java – a class for each cell



    To pull the contents of this zip file into Eclipse, you can do the following:

    1) Click on the link above, and save this file somewhere permanent (e.g. on your H: drive).

    2) Open Eclipse to your normal workspace.

    3) Create a Java project for this assignment (e.g. named Program 3 – GameOfLife or something similar).

    4) Go down to the src folder.

    5) Right-click on the src folder, and choose Import.

    6) In the General section, choose Archive File, then Next.

    7) Choose the Browse button, and browse to the location of the JAR file (e.g. if you saved it in H:\CS145, browse to that location).

    8) Select the JAR file, and choose Open.

    9) Back at the Archive File dialog, choose Finish.

    10) The template Java files should now be in your GameOfLife project



    Specific Tasks:

    You should now do the following:

    1) We need another class to represent one individual cell. We’ll make a new class called Cell to do this.

    2) Add a Cell class to your project. Within the Cell class, add Cell data to hold a row, column and isAlive (a true/false “flag” value to signal whether the cell is alive or not).

    3) Add the following methods, with these exact signatures:

    a. Cell(); // default constructor

    b. Cell(int row_value, int col_value, boolean isAliveFlag); // all-param constructor

    c. boolean isCellAlive(); // tests if cell is alive

    d. void setCell(int row_value, int col_value, bool isAliveFlag); // a utility method to allow you to set the cell instance variables while the program is running

    e. String toString(); // converts the cell alive state to a string; “X” if alive, “-“ if dead

    4) Implement the five methods listed above

    5) Add a data member named grid to the Grid class definition (already provided, but not yet compl

    Changing careers from Human Resources to Finance?

    I received my Bachelors in HR %26amp; I am discovering that I do not like the field at all. But I always had an interest in Finance %26amp; even in school I easily understood Finance and Accounting. I worked as an assistant in Finance for about 8 years prior to my NEW job in HR. I will be starting my Masters program in Finance next year.



    How can I go about switching careers from HR to Finance with little to no experience in Finance?
    Changing careers from Human Resources to Finance?
    You have already worked as an assistant for 8 years in Finance and now that you are going to qualify By doing Masters programme in the same, stands in good stead with you for a career shift. Confidence level should be high and have no doubts at anytime in between. Don't waver, that is essential for shifting careers with a lot of self confidence as your academic career will speak for you.

  • Having trouble taking 4x6 photos with Canon PowerShot SD880 IS?

    I own a Canon PowerShot SD880 IS. When I put the pictures from it onto my computer, just about every photo editing program I have says the photo is not a 4x6. So I always have to crop the photo or resize the photo. Is there a way to make my camera take 4x6 photos?



    Note: I already tried changing the recording pixels. In every recording pixel setting, I still did not get a 4x6.
    Having trouble taking 4x6 photos with Canon PowerShot SD880 IS?
    No, you will have to crop, or print border-less, at which point your printer will auto crop. The height to width ratio for a 4x6 print is .667, the PowerShot SD880, takes pictures at a .75 height to width ratio.
    Having trouble taking 4x6 photos with Canon PowerShot SD880 IS?
    The print size you need is irrelevant, don't turn down the recorded pixels. Keep them at maximum quality and size.



    The trouble is that you camera (and almost all point and shoot cameras, and Olympus DSLR's) use a sensor that is 4:3 ratio, 4 units wide by 3 units high. The same as standard TV.



    35mm film, and most DSLR's, are 3:2 ratio. They are wider than a 4:3 shot.



    Any image editor or display program can help you with this. You have two choices on how to handle the problem... you can print the entire image on 4x6 stock and leave a border on both sides, or you can crop to the correct ratio, which will cut off a strip along the top and bottom of your picture, but cover the entire 4x6 paper with your image. The printer driver and printer should handle everything after that.. you should just have to choose 4x6 and whether to leave borders or crop.



    In this situation, I tend to print my image as taken, and trim the borders off.
    Unfortunately, most cameras are fixed at a 4:3 Width:Height ratio. You want 1.5:1 or a (4 1/2):3 ratio for an uncropped 4x6 print. Sad to say, but you will simply have to force yourself to compose your shots so that you don't fill up the entire frame with the subject of interest. That way you can afford to crop to 4x6 and not mind losing some of the picture.



    You can test it out by photographing a subject, copy the picture to your computer and crop to 4x6. Then mark off the area on your viewing screen with small pieces of tape on the edge of the LCD screen (on the body of the camera, not on the LCD itself) when viewing the same image on the camera. Now you have the actual 4x6 cropped zone to fit your composition.



    Hope that helps.

    Can not log into my messenger account?

    I've had the same mail address for years. Updated my messenger program several months ago, but it has always had the same address as my mail. Now, for no good reason, I can not access my messenger/chat list. I have tried changing my password, re-booting the computer, reinstalling Messenger 9 program, still can't get in.

    Try this: http://www.cd-lock.com/
    Any program to hide folders on cd?
    Try This I Hope This Will Help You

    open Command(cmd) on run

    goto your folder which you want to hide

    not inside that folder

    i mean if you are G:\New\one

    %26quot;one%26quot; is your folder name then you must open cmd to G:\New and You Must Type

    To Hide %26quot;attrib +h +s one%26quot;

    To Show %26quot;attrib -h -s one%26quot;

    This Is Only One Method Which You Can Hide Folders
    Rush's method is the one that you said you didn't want... just a more difficult way of going about it.



    There is to my knowledge no way to do this, however, if you are worried about people discovering your files, how about encryption as an alternative? Download WinRAR and put your files in an archive with a password, that way even if someone does find said files they won't be able to view their contents. Then just name the archive something totally offbase, a string of numbers or somesuch.



    Good luck!
    It can't be done....Alternatively, zip your folder with password protection....unless the user knows the password, the folder could not be unzipped...

    What should I do about my changing boyfriend?

    I'm sorry this is long, but the things I'm writing are important to me.



    My boyfriend and I (both in college) have been together for four years and I love him very much. However, as of lately he is changing a lot.



    All of my life I have always been better friends with boys than with girls. Due to recent events, my boyfriend will not allow me to be friends with any boys unless they have a girlfriend. I'm supposed to distance myself as much as possible from the friends I have now - to the point of ignoring them. The events that caused this are as follows:



    Through friends, I met a boy who I quickly became very close friends with. He started living with one of my closer girlfriends, so I saw a lot of him. He was no threat to my boyfriend because he is the COMPLETE opposite of my %26quot;type%26quot;.



    The day my boyfriend left for spring break at Panama City Beach without me, my girlfriend made my male friend tell me that he liked me. He didn't know if I would still want to be his friend, but I told him it was fine, he'd lose those feelings soon enough.



    I planned on telling my boyfriend that night, but when he called he refused to talk about anything but all of the bare-chested women on the beach and how hot it was when the girls took off each others' shirts. I was only able to talk to him one other time while he was there and again we had to get off the phone because he would only talk about naked women. When he returned I finally got upset with him because he just wanted to show me pictures of the naked girls he saw. Then he left to go home (two hours away) and I planned on telling him that next weekend.



    I had told my male friend that I would help him wash his car (bc his ex kept trashing it) so he called me up that Friday. We ended up having to go to his parents' house where all of his car-washing stuff was. My boyfriend asked me what I was doing and I told him. He asked if I was at my girlfriends apartment. I told him that I was at my male friend's house.



    He was coming home early to surprise me. He got confused and went to my girlfriend's house. They both thought I was lying about my where-abouts. My boyfriend asked my girlfriend if he had anything to worry about. She said no, but that my male friend did like me.



    My boyfriend was furious. When we returned, he almost beat up my male friend, which I can assure you it would have been brutal if I had not stopped it. My male friend is a small framed boy and was at the time seventeen years old with braces. My boyfriend is big, very strong, very athletic, and 22 years old.



    My boyfriend forbid me to see my male friend or talk to him. Then one day he bonded with my male friend and hung out with him a lot. My boyfriend told me he was a good guy and that he was okay. I thought that meant he was going to be more lenient on my restrictions with him, but I was wrong. As soon as he knew I was talking to him again he got very angry.



    Now I am not allowed to be friends with any of my male friends. I feel like he is trying to control my life.



    Before this incident, he constantly texted me or called me asking where I was, who I was with, what I was doing. He did this ALL the time! He also put a program on my computer that recorded every keystroke and every little thing I did on my computer so he could look at it later. He would periodically check all of my accounts. I have never done anything that would make him doubt my loyalty to him.



    Also before this incident, he has broke up with me several times. Once so he could play the field, and another time because my parents were too strict (when I was in high school still). One of these times he messed around with one of my close friends. The other time he played me like I was a chess game and bad mouthed me constantly to one of my close girlfriends.



    I have always been the loyal one in the relationship that has had to forgive his mistakes. I'm not going to list them.



    He acts coldly toward me a lot lately even though I have given up my friendships for him. He has gotten drunk and smacked me and shoved me against a wall. He thought it was playful, apparently, but it was very forceful and it hurt me a lot. I know for a fact that he didn't mean to hurt me, but he still did. He was proud of it the next day.



    I just don't know what to do. He is often very cold now. I have never done anything against him and I have forgiven so many things he has done against me. This incident with my male friend was a huge misunderstanding. I feel like my girlfriend created this chaos on purpose because none of this would have happened if she hadn't been so manipulative. She is also the same girl that bad mouthed me to my boyfriend and then continued pretending like she was my real friend.



    Now my boyfriend says he can't feel the same about me because he can't trust me. What more can I possibly do to mend our relationship and get him back to normal?
    What should I do about my changing boyfriend?
    Why do you want to have a relationship with a bully? This jerk has smacked you and shoved you against a wall and he blames you for forcing him to go after other girls. His behaviour will get worse and he will always blame you because if he blames himself he will have to admit he has a problem.



    You have the right to be friends with anyone you choose. He does not have the right to try to beat up that person



    You have the right to go anywhere and do anything you want without reporting to him. He does not have the right to question you.



    You have the right to speak to friends on the computer. He does not have the right to check up on each keystroke you make.



    Does he allow you to choose his friends? Was it your choice that he spent his holiday at a nude location where he ogled and photographed other girls? Are you able to check every keystroke on his computer%26gt;?



    This is a wife-beater and a bully. If you remain with him, you will be beaten up and possibly killed. You will have done nothing to deserve the treatment you will get. You deserve so much better. Remember, trust is the basis of a relationship and this affair you have had with him is not based on trust.

    Why are some people always takers?

    I am trying to make sense of a relationship where I just got dumped.



    I realized how much I gave -

    *My time- helping fix up his house or just sitting there

    *We always watched his tv programs (or he played video games) If I ever wanted to watch something he would usually counter with something else. He would Tivo a program I liked but if I wanted to watch it, it would have to be in the morning before he got up or if he was feeling %26quot;generous%26quot;

    *He never thanked my family for gifts he received and expected us to help him meet his sales goals at the bank he worked for - ie open checking accounts, transfer money.

    *Even when it was his turn to pay for a date he would con his way out of it-i'll park while you get the tickets, I forgot my wallet

    *He never followed through on his %26quot;promises%26quot;- I'll bring you back here on our anniversary, I'll cook a special dinner for you

    *He was more than willing to take advantage of my willingness to help and had me cleaning his house, using my truck to haul things for him

    *He wouldn't take any constructive criticism and always wanted to be complimented and thought of as important but only when cornered would he give compliments.



    What makes people like that and do they ever change?
    Why are some people always takers?
    i think that what this guy actually wanted was company but he did not actually want you. i know that sounds pretty harsh - but sweetie, thats just how some guys are.. i hope that you are able to go out and find an amazing guy- that wants to make you his number 1 , and he would do anything for you! there's one out there for everyone- do not give up .. and no- people normally do not change when they are like this- the very odd time- yes they can- but most of the time- a person is who they will be their whole life. they can not hide from who they are



    :) xx
    Why are some people always takers?
    Sounds like you just bumped into (or maybe have an attraction to) selfish, ruthless men. There's no shame in it, especially since they have a lot of confidence and take what they want without any regard to other people. There are plenty of attractive qualities about them, but the simple fact of the matter is that they never change completely and they're not very good for long-term relationships.



    You're always going to lose more in the end, so try to identify them or talk to them about it early.
    Never blame the other person for taking advantage of you. It is your responsibility to stop, or even avoid those type of situations. No one can do to you, what you don't allow them to do to you.



    Some people are just that way. A few eventually change when they mature, but most don't.



    Just be glad he is not around to hurt you any longer. He will find someone else to treat badly now.



    You are now able to find a decent guy that will respect you. Good Luck!!!
    Because we let them be takers.
    its how he was born and raised, to take advantage when you see the chance.
    I think a relationship is where both parties can enjoy each others. If your ex is so selfish, then its your good fortune to dump him.



    He just seems to keep taking but you do not seem to be drawing anything from him.



    Besides, he does not seem gentlemanly enough by displaying basic etiquette such as footing a bill, keeping to his promises or not giving up to you on a more regular basis.



    If he dumped you, then he is on the losing end, not you.



    Good luck and cheerio...
    Sarah, I don't think that they ever change. Just remember, that he will get his one day. You don't know but maybe the next girl he gets will take him for a loop, and it sounds as though he certainly deserves it! I was told that I was too easy on my ex, I should have been more pushy/bossy. I used to do what you did also, go to his house and sit while he wrapped up his music activities on his computer. I waited on him, and watched his stupid sport programs, which mind you he had to turn the tv on at 2 am and watch the stupid stuff! Sounds like you and I just got dealt two of the bad ones and I hope that we both find better versions down the road.
    yea if that's how he was raised then there may be no changing him. some people just don't change for the better. he seems like a moocher and you don't need that at all.

    How do programs interact with each other? How do I make a program which interacts with another?

    Ok, Basically I know very little about programming, but what I know so far, is how to move rename delete files, or input output data from the program I write. But here is my question. How do I get the program I make to interact with another program already written. For example, I know a program which lets me change my online status from online to offline really fast to annoy my contacts. :) Ok, Im not talking now about the nature of the program. But Ive noticed that the program that I open, when I click start. It somehow interacts with Windows live messenger, and changes me from invisible to online, then back to invisible. How does it do that??? Ive always wondered. But there are lots of examples. Where one program doesnt just open the other with a command, but actually I dunno in the GUI does something without clicking. For example In MSN I can click appear invisible. But this program can do the same thing without clicking. How is that done? I would appreciate a good explanation, and maybe a site with a few examples or tutorials. Thanks guys I really appreciate it.
    How do programs interact with each other? How do I make a program which interacts with another?
    Different programs interact with eachother via %26quot;Interop%26quot; services. I assume you are using Windows, so Windows Application Programming Interface is something you should research, many programs use WinAPI to exchange data with eachother. To write a tutorial on your specific issue would be pretty difficult. What this program you are describing does, is it accesses MSN's functions via API and you can create simple programs using Visual Basic or C# that access these features of MSN. You would google %26quot;Visual Studio%26quot; and you can usually download a demo, then you would have to download the extension for MSN messenger%26quot;

    How do programs interact with each other? How do I make a program which interacts with another?
    some programs have what's called an API (Application Programming Interface) which allows it to interact with other programs, however, if a program does not have an API, it can not interact with other programs on the same computer.

    Why does Firefox always crash after opening?

    I have been using Firefox for about a year now, and I've really been impressed by it.



    Anyway, that plug aside, recently I've been having a problem with it.



    Every time I open it up, it will work for a few seconds and then inexplicably freeze up on me.

    If I change the program (say, open media player) I am unable to open Firefox again, and am forced to manually end the the process in the task manager.



    If you want to have a better picture of what is happening, here's a link to a video showing the problem:

    Issues with the program gimp?

    I'm using gimp-2.6 and it worked fine for a few days, but today I used it to try to work on a project, and when I went to use the color tool a message comes up saying that %26quot;gimp-2.6.exe has stopped working%26quot; followed by %26quot;A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.%26quot; I ran the program again once it closed and used all the tools, but when it came down to changing colors with hue saturation and such this error always comes up. Is it something I can do to stop this? I really need this program. If it helps to know I'm running a Vista.
    Issues with the program gimp?
    Hi Charles H,



    If your 2.6 is unstable on your machine, try a slightly older version, or find out if you're running the latest (2.6.6):

    http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.h鈥?/a>



    This page has 2.6.6, the latest version, plus in the right column, it shows a link for older versions.

    Just one spyware program wont do th jobs so its always a good idea to scan your system with a few programs.

    Dont install more than one real time virus scanners and this can cause some conflict

    you should always have more than one program for it, no one does it all, the combo is adaware, spybot, and AVG antivirus fe edition. You can get all three at download.com, they are free, full working versions
    Try Kaspersky anti-virus..

    How do i get stepmania to let me press 3 or more arrows at a time?

    I play songs on stepmania that, for instance, have an up-stream and a left and down combo during the stream. I always miss them tho because for some reason stepmania won't let me press more than 2 at a time. I know it will somehow though because on my other computer it did. I've already looked thru the options and it duznt say anything. Is there anything in the configuration program settings i can change maybe??
    How do i get stepmania to let me press 3 or more arrows at a time?
    No, this is a hardware limitation. Your keyboard was wired in such a way that does not allow for more than 2 simultaneous inputs (at least, not more than 2 simultaneous arrow inputs).



    There is nothing you can do other than buy a new keyboard, or bind your left-down-up-right keys to something other than the arrow pad (like 4-5-6-8). Binding to different keys may work, but your results may vary.



    Hope this helps.

    Why do districts and charter schools prefer to hire or use Teach For America students?

    Instead of hiring fully certified teachers with teaching experience, why are these college students with zero teaching experience and no certification always given the jobs the former should have? I understand it is a placement thing, but most of these TFA people end up leaving after two years to pursue grad school while others would have stayed longer. The longer you work with a school, the better chance you have to work with programs and change the entire school, which will trickle into the classroom.

    You can disable the anti virus program then use MS Office. If that does not work, try uninstalling the program and reinstalling it, specifying whatever properties are needed. Then if a window does come up stating that the program is blocking Office, disallow it from doing so. Good luck!

    Computer loads slow and automaticly changes startup mode!?

    Hi, when i turn on my PC it takes takes about 15min to load and once i log on it takes another 10min to load everthing. I also checked in msconfig and it always changes to selective startup and i put back to normal startup. i dont have many programs run on startup and its still slow. Other things are weird also such as, when i first open enternet explorer it shows my homepage but freezes up so i exit it and it says not responding so i click close program then when it loads i cancel and it closes it. then i open it again and it runs perfect. iv had webhancer on here before but i thought i removed it with add/remove programs. can anyone help me? i run windows vista home 32bit
    Computer loads slow and automaticly changes startup mode!?
    why are you changing from selective to normal.....normal means it loads defaults...selective is using your switched off selective choices...



    Are you loading your browser before the router/network is ready?



    browser.tools.internet options, retype your homepage url in start page, click apply, refresh browser.



    download and run ccleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/download/

    it should remove any left over ehancer files that maybe freezing up your browser.

    Yes No%26quot;



    I have the free version of Malwarebytes on my computer, but I'm not sure if this message is from Malwarebytes or some malicious software. How can I tell, and why do I get this message so often? It almost always pops up when I restart my computer, but sometimes pops up if I double click the Malwarebytes icon on my desktop. I click no, and if it is really Malwarebytes, what is it trying to do? Is Malwarebytes really supposed to behave like this? Thanks.
    Does Malwarebytes always needs to update at start up, or is this a trojan?
    You have MBAM set to, either, run or update on start up. UAC will notify you each time (don't you love Vista's nanny approach). You can change the settings to stop it from doing that. And you should click yes.
    Does Malwarebytes always needs to update at start up, or is this a trojan?

    What's the best affliates programs online for selling movies,movie posters etc?

    I have a website about movie reviews and I'm looking for a list of affliates programs my brother and I can add to my webpages. I'm also looking for ones that are always changing . I want everything movies related. You know posters,dvd, tickets, memoriabilia etc too. I need affliates that sell this kind of stuff so that every time I put up a movie review it's such a barren wasteland on my webpage. Currently I have ads from adsense but they are'nt paying much at all.



    Does anyone know any such vendors involved with movies online that do this? I cannot do Amazon as I lost the originaal webpage and did'nt pay up my monthy payments so they took away my page.



    Can anyone please help me out here?

  • What are the best ways to prevent colour changes in export and print?

    I just started a design business with a friend, we have designed a logo with very potent colours, we spent a long long time designing it and choosing the exact colours in illustrator...then we export it as a .pdf or place it in inDesign and various other programs and the colours look really different in some things, to get it perfect we have to re-draw it in every program even though it's always set to CMYK...this also leads to the differing colours when we print it, and the colours ARE print safe.



    What's the best way to prevent colour changes through print and export without having to re-draw?
    What are the best ways to prevent colour changes in export and print?
    there is a lot to learn about it, and it is complicated. You have to have your monitor calibrated to make sure you see the logo the way it is. The different programs you import your logo to must have different color profiles, for example sRGB and Adobe RGB are so much different, because Adobe RGB has much more colors.

    And in print, it depends on so much too: the paper, the inks. Printers usually assign pantone colors for the important colors.

    Always worried about my moms opinion.?

    i am a 30 year old mother of a 13 month old and married. My problem is that i dont do things in my life because i am always worried about what my mother is going to say. example: I graduated from a 2 year college many years ago after that i did not go to a university i had decided to attend nursing school so i took all the classes to get into the program then i changed my mine basically i have been up and down with what i want to get a career in ever since 2004. i would takes classes change my mind jsut never been solid with anything. now that i have a child and i c how the job that i currently have is BS. I want to just quit my job and take out a lona and go to school but i am so worried about whaty my mom will say. She will say that i am not serious, and getting a loan is a bad ideal%26quot; my arrgument will be well are you going to pay 4 school? i know that this is my life and i am a adult but i still value what she says. even when it comes to decorating she tells me that she does not like something in my house so then i take it back. This needs to stop.
    Always worried about my moms opinion.?
    Your an adult you have your own opinion and you want your child to have their own opinion. You can still value their opinion but you don't have to live by it. It's your life not hers. Im 18 ok, I have a good relationship with my parents. I have piercings that most of my extended family dislikes but I dont care. I asked my mum if i could get my hair dyed when I was 14 she said ok my dad said what will the relatives think. I thought screw em I had my hair dyed bright green just in time for the %26quot;Family Christmas party%26quot;%26quot; I enjoyed it. I have recently asked my mum what she would think if I got a tattoo and she said she thinks I would be stupid to get one but she knows that at the end of the day its my choice and if I want one im gonna get one. (Actually now she has changed her mind and is thinking of getting one herself :D )



    When Picasso drew the first drawing of a helicopter people said he was mad. the same with the wright brothers and the airplane. If they cared what other people thought and changed their life to suit others around them we may have only just discovered paper airplanes last year.



    You dont want to get to the end of your life and think gee I wish I did that. Be daring and try new things she may thing your stupid and she may say your stupid or she doesn't like it and if you want you say to her well I want to do It because I like it. If she gives you a hard time dont be afraid to stand up to her. If she is still trying to control your life now she is a dictator and you should tell her to shut up. but that's if its an extreme circumstance. My mothers father disagreed with my mother marrying my father. My mum stood up to him and said she will marry him. Her father said he didnt want to see my mum ever again. He died last year and you know what. till that day my mum kept her word and didnt see him, Although she did go to his funeral. I also kept my ground and refused to see him, although I didnt go to his funeral. It was hard I will admit but I wont let someone control my life.

    Always worried about my moms opinion.?
    You got that right it does need to stop. You are a grown woman and it is your life.Good or bad that is why they call it life. First there is nothing wrong with getting advise from people that doesn't mean you will do it. Check into the Obama grants for working mothers. It states that if you earn under $45,000 a year then you can get this and you don't have to repay it.Also there is help out there to pay for daycare. You have to check where you live and see what they have to offer. Hope this helps
