I have a recorder on my computer, is it illegal if I go to a website that might play a song or something, and record it with that? I'm sorry if it sounds confusing, I'm not good at explaining things over the internet.

hotmail is blocking the email for my safety, i want to open it, should i?
What should i do?!

I have a 2WIRE wireless router with a single ethernet port.
I have 2 devices that need to be plugged into that port at the same time/function at the same time (to be available for access wireless e.g. two printers)

Is there a way for me to accomplish that or do I have to get a new wireless router with multiple LAN ports?

My Question is simple why do people use internet explorer ?


Exploits and unpatched critical vulnerabilities put the users of Internet Explorer at risk 77 percent of the time last year, according to the latest number crunching by Brian Krebs of the Washington Post's Security Fix blog.

Based on data published by Microsoft and interviews with researchers, Krebs found that critical security issues remained unpatched in Internet Explorer for 284 days during 2006. The Mozilla Foundation's Firefox browser only suffered a single period of vulnerability lasting nine days, according to the analysis.

Ok, when i start my Laptop, It gets stuck on the microsoft windows xp blue screen, also i noticed my battery does not charge, but does that have anything to do with starting my computer even if i have the electric plug connected, all this happened after i uninstalled windows blind and restarted the computer, now it does not completely start, do you have any solution to fix this, i dont have the reboot disk for my xp, i was thinking about buying a new windows xp program, but i dont know if i can install it if it does not completely starts, the only thing i can do when i press the power button is the F2 option(Bios) and the F8(reboot) option but i cant start it on safe mode either, thanks for the help, i will give ten points

Hey guys, I've been trying to install a new pc, but I can seem to get it to turn on. When I first tried it, the power button lit up for a second then went off, and I'm getting no signs of power from anything. I've installed all the right parts and am pretty sure I've gotten everything connected right. I've tried switching power cords and ensuring the connections are not loose, but nothing seems to work. What could be the cause of this? Oh, and I've also tried different power supplies--one that I know works.
