Computers & Internet - 4 November 2007

I cannot stop my computer from dialing an internet connection on its own. I will be away from the computer, or, doing something in a program, and the "dialing/connecting" pop-up comes up and I hear my modem dialing. It is very frustrating . How can I control this or stop it?

I recently bought a laptop so I can work at home. We already have a PC with a BT Business Broadband router but it isn`t wireless and the main user is reluctant to get a new wireless router. Is there an add on that will enable me to transmit the signal around the house so I can use the internet wirelessly when necessary, without it overruling the current router that is being used?

I can't rename files without that blue screen of death, can't move files anywhere without it crashing, can't do anything too quickly without it getting confused!

It's only a few months old, maintained well with business standard virus protection! Argh!

Here's a complete set of codes:

from math import *

def f(a,b):
if a > b:
return 0.0
else:
return 1/(a*(a + 2)) + f(a+4, b)

if __name__ == '__main__':
print "result=%10.6f" % f(1.0, 12.0)

What does " return 1/(a*(a + 2)) + f(a+4, b) " mean ? How do I add "1/(a*(a + 2)) " to "f(a+4, b) "?

I have just purchased a Mac Mini, but I realized that I didn't get a monitor yet. I looked online for monitors and I was wondering if this monitor will work on my Mac Mini http://shop2.outpost.com/product/5177486?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
or will this work
http://shop2.outpost.com/product/5227387?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
If both of them works, which monitor should I get?
Thanks!

The laptop is used infrequently throughout the day, and is used for about 2 hours every evening. I read somewhere that I shouldn't completely turn off the computer in between, because it's either bad for the hard drive or bad for the battery life (I can't remember which).
