I mean , you see so many security holes in so many places. Its hard to constrain yourself away from these great explorations and how can you not become EVIL? Programming turns you EVIL.

And I am sure girls stay away from programmers because they are kinda afraid we gonna invade their secrets.

I fix desktop pcs for free for poorer families and single moms that people give to me. I also fix pcs for free that poorer people bring to me for repair.
If I can obtain a laptop I can use it to beta test software for companies who are willing to give me free software in exchange for useability information.
Since I am on a very tight disability budget, I cannot afford to buy one.
Thanks for reading my question.

Had a virus and had local computer repair shop fix it as I have no disk for the Dell. Some programs are missing now (i.e. Word, Excel, etc) and I can't open any fonts that require Adobe Type Manager (even though I did download the lite version). Can I use the recovery disk from my old computer if the the new one is a different manufacturer, but they both run XP?

I have written emails as per directions and I constantly hit the spam buttom on their emails. I know they use mutiple addresses, but each of them says @funwell. I never ever signed up for anything from them, as I am pretty careful about that sort of thing. I just want the bad men to stop spamming me!

i currently have zone alarm, but once you allow a certain application, it will allow that application to get to any IP address. for example, i have firefox allowed to get onto the internet, but i want firefox to be blocked from reaching a certain IP. i tried a windows HOST file but it didn't seem to work. thanks in advance.
