I'm just wondering if it is necessary to reformat a hard drive when reinstalling windows. Any specific benefits? I don't want to have to detach my hard drive and hook it up to another PC. Is this needed to reformat?

I recently switched from desktop to laptop. I download Audiobooks on CD that I borrow from my local library BUT have found that the security stickers the library puts on the CDs to prevent thefts make the CD too big for the wafer thin space my laptop allows in it's CDrom drive. The drive won't recognize the CD as a CD and so I'm unable to download it at best and at worst it freezes up my computer.
I've seen external DVD writing drives but are there external CDrom reading drives that I could use to rip CDs to my laptop and then transfer to my MP3 player?

I have had wireless internet at home for about a year and a half now. When I set it up, I made it secure, with a password. I am absolutely positive that it was secured connection. I used to check in often to make sure cause I was so paranoid. Now all of a sudden, it says that my wireless internet connection is unsecured!! What happened? And how can I restore it? I'm not sure I remember the security code I'd used.

I got this chip from a friends computer and I know it works, but it has a few bent pins, and it's missing 2 of its heatsink pads (the round black pads in the corners).

If I straighten the pins with plyers, would the chip still work?

And are the heatsink pads that important?

G = E OR D AND A + 8 <= B^2 MOD C
G = false OR true AND 6 + 8 <= 9^2 MOD 4

G = false OR true AND 6 + 8 <= 81 MOD 4

G = false OR true AND 6 + 8 <= 1

G = false OR true AND 14 <= 1

G = false OR true AND false

G = true AND false

G = false


how do u get 1 after having G = false OR true AND 6 + 8 <= 81 MOD 4

Vista really, really hogs Memory and CPU. It takes about 600 MB space even without any programs running. And, since it is very graphic intensive, it takes a lot of time loading. Vista was supposed to be faster than XP; it's apparently not.
