I have a MacBookPro that I want to install XP-Pro on using Bootcamp. How large of a partition should I make the XP partition? I understand it will be based on what programs I plan on installing, but can someone give me a rough guesstimate? XP SP3 + patches etc is over 4GB plus you need room for swap and hibernation (if you plan to use those) and then add on your apps. I'd say 10GB minimum assuming you're not going to have many apps and no large databases, games, or other space takers in that partition.

Why did firefox and other internet browsers close by itself when I search google for word containing "antile"? I was googling mercantile then it just close and I found out the "antile" is what makes it closes. Why is that? For kicks, I tried to reproduce this behavior on several browsers on several computers and was unsuccessful. I must conclude that either your system had something strange going on in memory at the time (I'm assuming if it is M$ Windows, a reboot has cured the problem?) or you're losing your mind. :-P Hope this helps.

Is it safe to use a proxy server? I have heard that the proxy server provider could be unscrupulous and hack into your computer- is this true? But how else do you get IP address anonymity? No, they are not more likely to hack into your computer than anybody else. A dishonest proxy operator could snoop on your communication. You might want to check into TOR and other similar services. Also, there are ways to send each communication through a different proxy so that even if one of them is snooping, the traffic they see doesn't make much sense to them. This can become a quite...

Okay, I've read tons of opionions and answers relative to runing VISTA as a operating system. I'm glad I did..now I don't want it. Can you request to not have it "pre-loaded" when you buy a new latop/desktop? Or is it just the way it comes? A very few have done this successfully, but I tried and failed miserably. I have to say that I tried very hard too. The main mistake I think I made was buying a Dell instead of building my own computer from scratch like I usually do.

Answer to:
Why is there a cylindrical thing around cables near the plug to the device it plugs into (ex: Playstation 2 controllers have them at the end where the cable plugs into the console.)? These are known as "chokes". They generally consist of a ferrite bead around the cable which reduces EMI and RFI. There is a lot of this type of interference around all of those cables behind your TV or computer which can degrade video, audio, and control signals.

Either way, you get something off your chest and he might have some fun with the strange things people feel like getting off their chests. Just so we are clear, I am talking about...

Okay I have a teacher who showed us how to get to lets say myspace.com from my computer then I did and it did not work. He did not go through a proxy. And we are doing this investigation at a college. Our teacher gave us a hint how he did it: by the DNS.. Many things could have been done to accomplish this. If you can still access other sites, I'd guess an entry was created in the hosts file to redirect requests for myspace.com to localhost/127.0.0.1. To fix this, just remove the entry. Another possibility could be that an invalid route was setup. Alternatively, if you cannot access other sites DNS server may be wrong IP could be...

Where can I find a good description of how an aircraft wing produces lift? Bernoulli and Newton are the culprits. They did it your honor! To be a little more precise than Jon, the air pressure above the airfoil is lower than below the wing which causes lift.

Here are some links that explain and depict the aerodynamics in...

Why is it that pilots of rotary wing aircraft fly from the right hand seat and pilots of fixed wing aircraft fly from the left hand seat?

It is also easier for a pilot to enter the cockpit without the collective in the way. ...

When you delete a file from your computer, is it really gone forever? These are all relatively good answers. The short answer is no, it isn't necessarily "gone forever". With the file systems used commonly on Micro$haft, *nix, and Mac hardware these days, the file is just marked as deleted. Many applications exist which will allow you to recover the files. If a file was deleted a long time ago, it may have been overwritten enough times (the DOD...

How do I set a com port to "3" when my Win 98 SE computer only offers ports 1 and 2? I believe you are referring to setting your analog modem to use a particular COM port. The number of "COM ports" or "serial ports" or "RS232 interfaces" on a computer vary but all ports above a certain number (4 on most computers?) are "virtual". Setting a modem to use a virtual port can lead to problems. The procedure to set a port in W98SE is explained...

Do laptops use as much power as desktop PCs? No, a typical internal laptop/notebook power supply's output is 40 to 60 watts. (typical desktops run 200-600 watt power supplies which run off alternating current) Bear in mind that they do not necessarily run same voltages because they run off direct current (batteries) instead of alternating current.

Is every computer that's connected to the Internet "hackable"? Short answer, if somebody wants to badly enough, yes. You should be worried about crackers, not hackers. A hacker is more likely to simply make you aware of your vulnerabilities in a benign fashion whereas a cracker would tell all his friends he found a new machine to be their DDOS zombie. Computer security is more or less directly proportionate to usability. Example: If you take your...

How can I set up a home network so all my computers can share my cable modem Internet connection? If you have an old/slow machine with two NICs and nothing much to do with it, you could install m0n0wall, smoothwall, or astaro on it to make a free kickbutt router/gateway/firewall.

How many NIC cards does a router or any other networking device have? A router aka "layer 3 device" by design must have at least 2 interfaces (these are not necessarily "NICs").

Technically, if you use the term "NIC"...

I just bought a 2004 Saturn Vue with 5-speed manual transmission. After I drive it and then shut if off, there is a small clanking or pinging sound coming from underneath near the back. What could this be? That is usually the exhaust cooling. The metal or aluminum alloy that the exhaust system is made of expands when hot and contracts when it cools. This is not something to worry about.

What sports are best for someone who likes speed and power? If they are rich and can afford a Formula 1 car, I don't think you can pull more Gs and go faster on the ground in a sport than that.

For the poor people like myself, think motocross or cycling.

My boyfriend and I broke up 2 months ago and has cut off all contact with me. Why do men do this? Consider also the possibility of it being a protection mechanism.

Why would a guy who didn't want to work things out try to get back together with me after our break up? Guesswork on my part, but he probably realized he made a mistake. Your interpretation of "not wanting to work things out" may have been something entirely different. Be careful though, I suppose if this was a malicious enough guy, he could be "taunting" you or something like that. Unless he was really mad at you though, I don't see a good reason for something like this....

Answer to:
What are the piston devices on the ends of each train car that British trains have but American trains don't? Shock absorbers primarily used while coupling and uncoupling the cars. However, in my limited observation of such couplings, it seems like the couplers take the brunt of the shock. I assume when coupling is done properly, they are not of much use. They must be on most European trains as I observed them on French trains.

Answer to:
What is a "coupler" on a train, and how does it work? A coupler is the mechanism by which two cars are connected or coupled. Continuing advancements in technology have changed how it is controlled but the basic concept is still the same. There are 2 interlocking "C" shaped "hitches" that clamp together when coupled.

Other possible causes could include: -fouling spark plugs (replace them or at least clean them) -fuel filter problem (replace it) -using the...
