Computers & Internet - 28 September 2007

lately, my laptop battery has been seeming to have a short life when it's not plugged in. this was very sudden, because before i was able to use it unplugged for at least an hour. now when i unplug, it says the batter life is low, but sometimes it really isn't cuz it won't go out for another long while. and right now, being plugged in, it says "1% charging." is it time for a new battery? is there something i can do to boost the power back up? thanks in advance!

All the scams have finally made communication online less effective than snail mail. I occasionally delete an important message while deleting spam scams as well as spending countless hours reviewing junk.

Ive almost been tricked lately by scammers getting a hold of my resume which was submitted to a legitimate head hunter.

I've had it and am willing to spend some time at fighting back before entirely giving up on the www.

Be specific.

Terminology would be helpful too!

I'v been lookig for ages to buy cheap autodesk Maya 8.5 and creative suite CS3 but online keep finding extremely expensive prices.Than I'v come accros this online software retail site called (cdrbstore), they claim they are the full versions and come with a serial number but I'm starting to think that its too good to be true. I'm desperate to buy the programes, as I need them for my work but would hate to put money down and its nothing but a scam. Has anybody bought from them or know anything about them???thanks

I bought a new computer, it's running Vista Home Premium. When I click to shut down sometimes it closes all programmes, the monitor goes on standby, but the tower is still on. It happens about half the times I shut down, the other half it goes off fine. I've looked at the 'Change what the power buttons do' part in Contol panel and it's set to shut down when I press it so that's not the problem.
Can anyone help please?

I am hooking up a router and it is asking for the subnet mask, gateway, dns1 and dns 2 numbers. How do I go about finding that information out on my home pc? I have tried right clicking on the network places and going to properties but can not find it there. When I enter zeroes in all fields and it tests my internet connection it says it can not find connection. When I unhook router I can get online. What seems to be my problem?

I usually tend to stay up these things, but apparantly I have missed this development, another person asked a question in reference to them earlier, just wondering if anyone had any links to some information about them.
