I am a fifteen year old girl. I am a vegetarian...for breakfast I eat a bowl of Special K cereal with skim milk, after that I run a mile and do crunches, sit ups, leg lifts, and push ups. for lunch I usually have a veggie sandwich. for dinner I usually have two tacos with black beans and cheese and salsa (on soft corn tortillas). All I drink is water with my meals. My only snack the whole day is a nonfat iced tall caramel macciato at Starbucks which is 140 calories and about a cup of fresh blue berries. I have not had a soda or sweet tea in a year. Am I healthy? what else can I do to be healthier?

There is no rhyme or reason. It just started today. The ripples run horizontal across the page...kind of like a washboard. What is causing this?

Hi i have 2 computers, and i used a usb wireless adaptor called Trendnet TEW-424UB . Recently i found out that it stopped working and doesnt react the computer i use it with. I try it in different ports, and it doesn't happen either. I tried it on my other computer and it seems to work fine. I also used other usb items and tested them on the old computer, and they work fine. So is there any way to find what's wrong with it? has it been disabled or something?? Thanks

I have a Compaq Presario sw140???.. I bought it 2years ago and now am not able to use my computer at all..
When I start up the computer I get a error message that says
"Disk boot failure, Insert system disk and Press Enter"
I put in my #1 disk recovery and I recieve another error message
"No hard drive found, PC Recovery cannot continue".
I called Compaq and they said they can help me fix it by phone, it was just a software problem, BUT I would have to pay another $50 on my warrenty for the assistance.. I am not going to pay them more money on top of my warrenty..
So my questions are
#1 Is my hard drive broken and need to be replaced?
#2 Should I bring it to someone proffesional to fix it, and who should I bring it to that is the best and cheapest?
#3 Is it a software problem, like tech at compaq claimed?
#4 Can I fix it at home myself with the right directions?
If anyone can help with this I would truely appreciate it, I can not afford to buy a new one, Thank You So Much!

Well, I've just started to play World Of Warcraft, but it lags quite a lot in cities (even Goldshire)...

I know my Internet connection is ok, because the latency bar is green. Also, I know it's a problem with my RAM because I have 256MB!!

Well, the minimum for WoW is 512MB, but I think I may prefer 1GB RAM for better performance overall.

So if you could help me my linking a site/store that is both reliable and relatively cheap, then it'd be great =)

Thanks =)

I am leaning towards getting a Mac (my cousin the computer expert says that they're waaaayyyyy better) but I realize that there are so many Windows programs, so I don't know if I should get a Mac. I have some CDs that I use for school, and I need Windows to use them, is there any way I can use them on a Mac?
