Are Internet business Web sites safe,secure and trustworthy?Online consumers I think would like to learn more about the web sites they visit,especially bedore submitting any private information, and to transact online with confidence. Consequently the needs fr Internet privacy and e-commerce are stedily growing.
So,how in your opinion,might consumer protection and online safety be assuered?
Alternatively, "It is frighteningly easy to pretend to be someone else, and although it wpuld be posssible to wprk out that a posting signed "Bill Thompson" was not really from me,it could cause problems at work or ina relationship".Has this ever happened either to u or somebody u know?

I'm a college student, on a budget. I have a pentium something 1.4ghz, and a 512 ram and a 256 ram chip in it already, but my laptop is agonizingly slow. Manufacturer says I can go up to 1ghz ram chips. Will that make it work better? I don't know squat about computers.

Hello,

All other things being equal (T5300 core 2 duo processor, 1GB ram, 15.4' screen - your basic laptop setup) would I notice any difference in graphics for 2D work in Photoshop and with RAW converters if I was using either of the above graphics setups.

To put it another way: is the Intel GMA950 'good enough' for an enthusiastic amateur photographer to work with? Would the Nvidia be overkill, or useful?

This question only related to 2D photo work - modern gaming and video editing don't need to be considered.

As always, many thanks for reading.

GW

So, in Firefox, as i'm sure you all know, there is a feature which you can turn on which allows you to close your browser with all your tabs open, and then when you re-open the browser, all your tabs will be reloaded. Does anybody know how I can do this in Internet Explorer, by a built in method or otherwise?

Gateway is no help, the only thing they are equipped to do is tell you if they have processors that are compatible to sell you, which they don't even have

Gateway Computer : Intel (Yorktown) Pentium 4 - 2.53GHz (533MHz) R2 [Part #2519075]
Uni-processor Intel® P4P Northwood in FC-PGA2 package, 133-MHz, 533MT/s FSB
Chipset: Intel i845PE and ICH4 chipset

The Motherboard has a 478-pin zero insertion force (ZIF) socket that supports a single Intel® Pentium® 4 processor or a single Intel Celeron® processor based on the Pentium 4 architecture. The standard host bus speed of the motherboard is 100 megahertz (MHz). However, the processor uses a dual-clock, un-pipelined processing method that achieves system bus speeds up to 533 MHz.

I WAS TOLD YOU START OUT BY LOOKING FOR PROCESSORS THAT USE 478 PINS AS THE FIRST STEP... (I THINK THE NEXT STEP IS LOOKING FOR PROCESSORS THAT DO 533MHZ FSB?) WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO CHECK BEFORE I BUY A PROCESSOR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL BE COMPATIBLE ?

I'm really dissapointed with my Acer Travelmate 2420. Right after the warranty expired, the case cracked near the left hinge from the stress of opening and closing it. I can already see a second crack forming on the opposite side. How can I fix this? And how can I stop the other crack from getting any bigger?

I think this is a serious design flaw from Acer...I'm just glad I didn't pay too much for it.

I heard that doing it too much can hurt the computer. Sometimes I would defrag, see it was still fragmented and defrag immeadiately again.

I'm using Microsoft XP Pro. When I try to open my Office 2003, I get a "preparing to install...", then "Please wait while Microsoft configures.......", then it asks me to insert the microsoft word CD (which I don't have with me). But if I click "cancel", Word opens up fine. How do I get rid of that message?
