If you store data on a usb flash drive, is any of that data stored on the computer somewhere after you pull the flash drive out?

i ran it yesterday. it said a bunch of cookie stuff was spyware so im like "then delete it" and then these little "x"s poped up beside each program it said was spyware so then when they all have "x"s i press the little "x" at the top of the page and leave. so is the spyware, if there was spyware in the first place, that my dad probably installed on my laptop gone now?

First I get the error message : "Cannot play back the audio stream, no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not functioning." When I click on details, it says, "There is no sound card
You either do not have a sound card installed on your computer or it is not functioning properly. If you do not have a sound card installed, you must install one before you can listen to audio in a digital media file. If you do have a sound card installed, refer to its documentation to troubleshoot the problem."

Does anybody know what I can do about this without having to buy anything? A site maybe where I can download what is needed? I'm not really technical so you might have to give your response in everyday language that someone like me can understand, thanks.

Does anyone else think like me?

I think older people should be encouraged to learn how to use the computer...Not for just banking but:

If they live alone...often that is very cruel ...so by even being able to use a site like this...they could spend time, helping others...

Giving all that life experience...and it would help to combat being lonely.They don't have to buy a computer...just use the Library as I do!...I have one at home, my 14yr old is always on...lol.

But, also they may not feel well and can even buy food on line, delievered to their home for less than $10.oo (well in australia)..
Not sure if other countries...and they can stay in touch with family...

I say lets teach one person over 50!!! to use a computer!
Whos with me.!!!

Also, what does it mean by limewire was unable to find a license for the video???

I may be wasting points and I'm far from a mean person but I've noticed alot of people like to answer questions with smart answers such as: "We're not doctors, so quit asking stupid questions!" or answers like, "Why are you asking such a dumb question?" Yahoo! Answers, as I see it, is a place where teenagers and adults should be able to come and get opinions from others. If you don't have an answer to a question, simply don't post. If you suggest they see a doctor or ask a family member, etc. that's answering a question but to be rude and crude, that's uncalled for. We're all people and even if it is through the internet, we all have feelings and words do hurt, even if you say they don't. Some may ask stupid questions, but be an adult and don't reply if you can't give a nice response. We're here to help others, not critisize others. We have people at home and around our areas to critisize us. We come here to get honest, nice opinions. Just a little rant. :)

what html code is best to change the font and size of your display name on myspace? All I know is that the code cannot be placed in the 'display name' box because there is not enough space and because it shows all the coding.

I took it to the local video store, and they ran it throught eh machine, but it has a single light scratch that remained. It's Halo2 for XBox, so I'm reluctant to buy another one.
