Computers & Internet - 27 November 2007

Hi everyone.

I'm with my high school newspaper, and only now are we trying to get up our own website. I'm wondering if you guys know what are some great, yet cheap, Web Design programs, along with a great, yet still cheap, Web Hosting website. Thanks in advance! : )

Look, I am not much of a computer hardware kind of guy but I have this logitech usb ......something, it looks like a thumb drive and can connect directly to a dock that connects to my laptop or I can disconnect it from its dock and connect it directly to my computer. I thought it was a storage device, problem is, when I connect it to my laptop it makes a sound as if it reccoginizes it but when I look in "my computer" there is nothing there? Please help me, I would like to know what I am doing wrong or if I am looking in the wrong place.

I have McAfee antivirus and AOL security but they arent working well. I tried to download Kapersky but it says it wont install because I already have McAfee and AOL and I have to remove them before I download it. Is there anyway I can just turn them off until kapersky is downloaded and runs a scan, or does Kapersky search your hard drive for antiviruses?

I have Windows Vista on my new Gateway laptop. I have tried to connect it to a Wireless network, and it has worked previously, but it has just started to stop working. It tells me that I am connected to this network, and that I have a connection, but I'm not connected to the internet. Then a message box pops up, and says that there is already another computer on this network that has the exact same IP address. What gives? And how should I resolve this issue? I have run all diagnostic features Microsoft recommends, including unplugging my router for a prolonged amount of time. PLEASE HELP ME.

I've been putting a lot of thought into it lately, and I just can't figure it out... Linux is free, customizable, versatile, simple, and prettier than Windows, yet Windows still holds a huge share of the OS market.

However, their large share is dropping. I attribute this to the iPod craze, and people becoming more familiar with Apple's products. Their OS market share almost tripled this year alone!

But why is Linux stuck with just a 2% or so share? I think it may be the inability to unite under one name, and that makes it a bit confusing for the computer novice to get started with a distro.

I think Linux is poised to spring now. Wal-Mart has started selling Ubuntu-based computers, and Dell is starting to make them. Do you think this will impact Linux's market share drastically?

Perhaps it's Linux's lack of software- and game-developer backing, or maybe the lack of advertising, but I can't figure out why Linux systems have kept such a small market share all this time...

Does it mean that the lower is the version (or type) of the processor , the slower will be the speed? Can upgrading the memory increases the speed even if the processor version or type is the least?

My computer crashed today, apparently the system files had become corrupt, after examining the BIOS settings and trying to recover if at all possible, I decided to just reinstall because I simply had nothing that couldn't be replaced. But yet my computer was wiped out but the hard drive is still the same size it was before hand, what can I do and what does this me, feel free to be technical, I am very computer literate.

Hi, I'm in a desperate attempt to operate a Mac, the thing is I'm trying to extract recorded sound into Garage band, but to do so, I first have to chop it down from a stereo file, to a mono sound file, and probably afterwards convert it in to an AAF, or OAF or some other acronym. How can I achieve that on Final Cut pro, or soundtrack pro so that I can modify the file on Garage band?

I'm from the old school and spent a great deal of time learning the intricacies of DOS. I found that I could do pretty much anything I wanted with it. These days, I feel robbed by Windows in a way. Anyone else?
