Computers & Internet - 2 September 2007

I recently found out about Linux, and I'm very interested in exploring it. I only have one major problem holding me back, and that is I'm one of those people who were slaves to windows, which makes it difficult to immediately transfer.
So then researched an found these demonstration videos about using Linux "Ubuntu+Beryl", and one side of the cube actually had a working XP desktop.
**** Vista :)
I was astounded and was more eager to try this alternative. When I researched, I found so many ways to have both OS's on one computer simultaneously with XP on one Cube face, booted separately at startup, switchable during sessions, etc...etc.. which only constituted towards more confusion.
I'm a typical windows user, and all i have is the Ubuntu bootable CD ready. Then I found out about this partitions thing, which only made things even worse. I already went though a laptop, now it has only Linux, but always freezes at startup. Since i dont know the tech, i cant erase the hard drive clean.

When this technology becomes a standard for information distribution (like cellphones of today for mobile communications) one of the main risks is noise (non-information like advertisements and other exploitives). The main reason the internet is so saturated with noise is because it is dynamic, but so is information. So, how can the restrictions (to prevent noise from developing), without hampering information growth and distribution, be implimented?

Do you know of any spywarefree ,virus free ,ad free ,trojan free etc sites where I can download for free the following software:
1)AOL 9.0se security edition
2)Msn explorer

3)two anti-virus programs that can coexist on the same computer at the same time.Usually, they will conflict with each other and you will lose the use of both.
please, only respond if you know the answer to one or more of the questions.Be direct with the question you are responding to ,for example question number 1Give all the requisite information, for example, the site's complete address.Also make sure that these downloads are free.I will be very grateful to anyone who can provide me with the answers or responses I am looking for which enables me to download these softwares promptly from virusfree, spyfree, adware free sites.Thank you in advance.

hey i just bought a samsung syncmaster216BW monitor but im having some problems. Everything comes up all the way on the right, so far that i can't see it. This could be because of the screen or the nvidia graphics card i just installed. I would do something like go to desktop properties or something but i can't because its too far on the right! I've tried all the buttons on the screen and nothing. If there is anything i can do, please tell me. thanks

How do I revert it back to normal? And since, for example, my homepage is www.yahoo.com. Then I want to get to... www.xanga.com. The internet will open in a new page, and hang, thus, i will never be able to get to it. I can, however, get to different pages by using the Yahoo search engine.

What do I do?

I moved. And when I plugged my speakers back in my computer, they didn't work. I don't even get a ding when I change volume controls. I think it may be a problem with my computer, as I tried a different pair of speakers, and they don't work either. I have checked my volume control panel, and nothing is muted. yes, it is plugged into the back. windows has determined that my drivers are up to date. i just got this hp computer in february, and i have windows vista. i use my commputer mostly to listen to music. please help.
