Computers & Internet - 13 September 2007

I'm at my local library right now and am trying to get on Myspace. I lugged my MacBook and all my school books up here so I could get on the wifi and work on a project with friends. Some are not here so we need to ask them questions throught myspace.

When I log onto MySpace, it says that the library has blocked it. Anybody know how to bypass this? Any terminal hacks or anything to get through? I'm on Mac OS X.

I want to get a good computer but my dad only wants me to get a Sony.
he told me all the other computer manufactures suck.
My dad only buys Sony products.
He said if it wasn't for Sony there would be no computers.
I told him I wanted to check around but dad yelled at me and said no other computer can match a Sony for speed and performance.
Dad will not talk to me if I buy a different manufacturer.
Is Sony really the best?
Are there no companies who can measure up to Sony?

I shall re-phrase the question.
I have installed a 250GB hard drive onto my computer, leaving the 80GB hard drive as the master. My OS is windows XP home ed. The only way to find the new hard drive is going into my computer then the C drive properties. No icon appears on the main screen of my computer when clicked. When trying to format the new drive, i can only format the C from the menu.

I recently (yesterday) updated my DSL connection from Verizon-Yahoo from the standard 768 kbs to 3Mbps speed. But now when I test some ports I have forwarded via my modem, they aren't open. I forwarded another port to see if it made a difference and it didn't. All firewalls and antivirus programs were off during the test. What's causing this?

i just got a free imac, dont know how obsolete it is, but probably not the newest version. I plug it in, and all i get is a white screen. Am I going to need some kind of boot or startup disk, and if so, where would i get one of those? Is there some other thing wrong with this thing, or is there some button I dont know about?

I got Halo 2 for PC and I apparently need a better graphics card. I would like to bump up my Windows Experience index to at least 4.0. I prefer an Nvidia or an ATI, but I don't know much about video cards, so any advice would help. Thanks.

why computer keyboards have the "QWERTY" design, with all the letters jumbled up? Why aren't the keys alphabetical?

Does it have something to do with which letters are most used? Least used? Or did someone just think it would be funny to make you reach for the "e" when you're trying to type "cerulean"?

I would ask them but they keep putting my on hold and now I can't get through at all!!
My plan is, someone suggested uninstalling their software, but I don't want to be paying them any more money! So i'm going to cancel DD at the bank tomorrow.
Can they cut off my internet access?
