Computers & Internet - 10 December 2007

I have just hired a server and want to offer a wide range of services. Among those, I wish to offer are gaming hosting and cast radio hosting. Does anyone know where I can get these addons?

Any suggestions accepted with thanks.

if you put 4 sticks of 256 ram in your computer would it be slower that just putting 1 stick of 1 gig?

I need something that can store a lot, so what should I look for? Does it have to do with the hardrive or RAM? See, the one I am interested in says:
1GB DDR2 SDRAM
160GB Hard Drive
Is that good? What is a good range in RAM and Hard Drive to have if you plan on storing a lot. Also, what do I need to buy so that I can transfer my files from this computer onto my new laptop?

Thanks so much.

Lets say computer 1 has a printer/scanner attached and computer 2 doesn't .... I configured it so that I could print from computer 2, is there a way to scan from computer 1 and send it to computer 2 directly without the messenger or mail. Thank you.

I have to hard drive disks. one has the operating system.
the other one is a slave one. the slave one is just for storing
music and movies and music videos. I just format the main
primary hard drive disk and re-install XP SP2. Now,
when I want to put a video file from my slave hard drive disk
it opens the media player 11 and it said something about
a codec, i install the codec. and now there is another error
that appears and it won't let me watch my video files.
what's wrong? how do i fix this problem?

Our hp pavillion dv2125nr laptop, has begun to get very hot when my kids play games with a lot of graphics.

It does not cut off when getting hot. It has melted a plastic lapdesk and deformed a plastic table.

Could this be how the software or computer is configured? Does it sound like a mechanical problem (fan issue?)

This is an "entertainment PC" only a year old. When we bought it they (BestBuy) said it should be ok for these games.

We have sent it to Hp once-- came back with the same issue. They say to send it back-- but to back up data first, not responsible for data. I was just wanting to know more about what the problem might be before I send it back again.

I am also trying to find the data files from Zoo Tycoon 2 so that my kids won't lose their saved games. I can't find their profile info on the computer (we use XP).

Just wondering if it is possible to find out exactly who an email is sent from, or where even. And can you stop people from finding out where or who it came from when it is from you

For some reason, the public libraries in Miami-Dade county, at least in the BEACH area, have started to get the STRANGEST of maintenance. It goes like this: First of all there's nothing wrong with them. I know because I use them every single day. When least expect it they announce on the computer system that there'll be maintenance done on FRIDAY in the morning. Come 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and your lucky if they're up and running.

This not being enough, they then wait for the following MONDAY to do maintenance again, this time SUPPOSEDLY on the PRINTING and computer RESERVATION system.

Today the message on every screen reads "The AUTHENTICATING AUTHORITY could not be contacted"...When I ask librarian, she tells me "it is posted there on the door" (as if I couldn't read!!!). Then she says reservations have to be made at desk. Asks for my library card (the card # is not enough), and still she requires my IDENTIFICATION PIN. I give it to her, and I'm able to go in. Why this??

I have been using hotmail as my primary email account for years and never had a problem until now. Some of my friends try to email me and are blocked, I did'nt block them. I unblocked them by following the instructions in the help section of hotmail and changed my password. I did this 3 times and my friends are still blocked out and my password keeps going back to the original. How do I fix this?

I have a hp psc 1215 and even though it seems to be working fine, and no error messages have come up, nothing is printing. The paper goes through and makes all the usual noises, but there is no ink on the page. The ink isnt wasted because we got a new cartridge recently. How can I fix this?

I want to have a method in my controllers defined that returns the count of records in a users database. Is this the correct syntax? What am I doing wrong. I seem to get an error.

def users
@users = User.find(:all)

sql.execute "SET autocommit=0";
sql.begin_db_transaction
id, value =sql.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) as "Number of Users" FROM users;").fetch_row;

A compnay sent us PDF files that they accidently named with the decimal point at the end of the file. So when we received the files, the computer is looking to open a .D07 file (december 07). I tried to rename the file, but it didnt change the type of file it was according to my machine. Any way of opening this? I dont want to deal with this client anymore.
