I see so many websites online, do all the people that create it have to pay for host and domain and everything. I mean I see so many useless websites but they still pay for it? How come I hear like anyonce can do it, even teenagers and everything, so the teenagers pay for it too? (I'm not talking about those free website host like www.freewebs.com or anything)

My computer runs on Windows xp and I have a broadband connection. Recently, I got Windows xp reinstalled as earlier one had got corrupted. I notice that when I opt for shutdown, the computer seeks permission to install updates before shutdown (There is option to shutdown without installing updates too). If I opt for installation, computer starts counting updates installed (e.g. installing update 1 of 8, 2 of 8 so on). Last night, number of updates was as high as 76. What are these updates which Windows xp seeks to install before shutdown? Is it some sort of spyware? I am confused.

Novice c++ guy here, trying to wrap my head around arrays and functions. This is supposed to be a program that takes the center and radii from 2 3d spheres and determines if they collide.

#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;

struct sphere
{
float center[3];
float radius;
};

bool sphereDist (sphere &s1, sphere &s2)
{
return (pow(s2.center[0] - s1.center[0], 2) +
pow(s2.center[1] - s1.center[1], 2) +
pow(s2.center[2] - s1.center[2], 2)) <
(s1.radius + s2.radius);


}



void main ()
{
cout <<"Sphere collision detection program, by D.R."<< endl;
cout <<"Input the centers of sphere one"<< endl;
cin>>s1.center;
cout <<"input the radius of sphere one"<< endl;
cin>>s1.radius;
cout <<"Now input the centers of sphere two"<< endl;
cin>>s2.center;
cout <<"Please input the radius of sphere two"<< endl;
cin>>s2.radius;

if (sphereDist == true)
{
cout <<"The spheres collide." << endl;
}
else
{
cout << "the spheres do not collide." < }

wireless router. I tried plugging ethernet from the router to the computer but the computer just says "limited or no connectivity" . I also tried using a Wireless G USB from Linksys and it still wouldn't connect to my wireless router. Then finally, I just tried using only my DSL modem and connected the ethernet to my computer and it still wouldn't work. I tried all the above on my friends computer and the everything worked! Anyone know how I can fix this? I use a desktop Windows XP. Thanks.

When i baught my A100-OFH core duo laptop from Bestbuy, it said the maximum memory i can upgrade is to 2GB DDR2.

1.5 years has passed and larger memory modules has been released, i found my laptop model number on the internet in PDF form, i checked all the specs and they are all exactly the same as mine, except for one thing. It said the maximum memory allowed is 4GB?

My laptop is called a Toshiba Satellite A100-OFH and my model number is PSAA8C-OFH003.

Since my laptop supports dual-channel, i am planning to buy 2x2GB of DDR2 ram. If my laptop was to only hold maximum 2GB, and i add in 4GB, will my laptop take any damage? Even if it's minimal.

Also, i am unsure of what speed my laptop can take, it never really said it when i first baught my laptop from Bestbuy.

The current ram modules in my laptop right now are 2x512 DDR2 533MHz PC2-4300(266MHz) on dual-channel. I believe SO-DIMM laptop memory is backwards compatible as well? Correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks in advance! :)

how do i know if i installed my ram upgrade properly?

i had to use a little bit more force popping the thing in place than i previously thought i had to, and that's why i'm asking.

my computer booted normally, though i didn't really note whether it was faster or what not.

thanks!
