How to take a desktop computer and screen with you on a flight?

May 1st, 2011 1 comment

I am going one way from US to UK and I want to bring a desktop with me. I’m not sure on what to do with the computer. If I should check it in or carry it on. The only problem with checking it in, is that someone might be careless with it and it might break. Anyone have advice on what I can do to ensure that it will be safe on the flight and if I need to advice the airline that I am bringing a desktop computer and screen. By the way, I am flying on British Airways. Thanks in advance.

What happens to a federal firefighter that masterbated at work to computer porn and gets caught?

April 30th, 2011 10 comments

My husband’s co-worker was caught masterbating at work (at a naval base) on the computer in the “common area” at just past midnight. Everyone is very angry that he did not do his “business” in his own private room and even more irate that he was using the computer to view the porn in the day room, where they all watch tv, visit with family and what not…

What can happen to him? Can he lose his job (this is what we are all hoping for) or will he just get a slap on the wrist? Last year they all had to sign paperwork after an internet training class regarding what they could and could not view on the internet (porn being a big no-no)

The computer tower has been taken to a place in the region for investigation on the history (they all have badges they insert in the keyboard to sign on to the computer) and everyone is asking for a new computer and chair.

If he doesn’t lose his job, or get transferred, what can you come up with to make his life miserable for a few weeks?

What is a reliable desktop computer with a decent price?

April 30th, 2011 7 comments

I don’t really need an extremely advance computer. Just a reliable computer that I can do homework on and maybe play some games on. (my brother wants sims 3). My family will be using it. We have had two Microsoft desktops that have malfunctioned. I already have a mac and love it but i think we should have a Microsoft in the house. Thank you.

How do I put windows 7 ultimate on a different computer?

April 30th, 2011 3 comments

I have Windows 7 ultimate installed and activated on my computer. If I bought a new computer and installed it on that, the activation will fail because it is already installed on one computer. How do I deactivate the key from computer A so it can be activated on computer B?
Changing the hard drive will not work, Microsoft blocked this because hard drives can be cloned.

My Compaq computer recently broke. Thankfully Christmas is near *dances in glee*.

Anyways, Can someone recommend a good cost efficient computer? A game card, and the whole sha-bang.

How do I run a custom computer configuration to stop programs from starting up and slowing down my computer?

When starting up my laptop Yahoo and MSN Messenger open up slowing down my computer. Staples suggested a custom computer configuration. What is that? Can I do it myself? If so, what do I do?
