mlb asked:


Since computers are identified by the local connection network in order to access the Internet, can they also be located ? If so, the local police working together with the local Internet connection network - could recover the vast majority of stolen computers and return them to their rightful owners.

Red Dragon X asked:


If I install one CD program onto two different computers or laptops,will it give me any problems?My mom told me that she installed a program on one computer and when she had the same program installed on my grandma’s computer,the original installation screwed up and stopped working.
Plus,how many times can you install one program and is there a limit?I always thought that once you purchase something,it was completely yours and under your control.If thats what these piggishly corrupted companies are trying to do,then they shouldn’t stop you from installing a program more than once.It has to be wrong in some way.I have never tried any of this before.I need a good answer.

Hannah asked:


I bought the Norton Internet Security 2007 that includes Antivirus, and it protects up to 3 PCs. I installed it, and now its been a year and my subscription has run out. I renewed it (paid for subscription) on one of my computers, shouldn’t that work for my other computers as well? Or do I have to pay for them individually?

How come my networked computers download from the server and use internet, but they can’t upload to server?

Vince Y asked:


I work in a small company and we have a bunch of computers networked together. All of the computers can download from the server very fast and surf the web without any trouble. But when I try to upload to the server from any of the computers it either takes for ever or crashes completely. What’s the deal? This is the case for all of the switches, so moving them to different ports on the switch doesn’t help.

alphonseduc asked:


I have a home network of 3 computers. I have used “Network Setup Wizard” to create connections to the three computers together. All seems OK, except that any of the computers’ users can see the other two. I think it is the created connections but I can not modify or even delete any connection icon in “My Network Places”. Please help me solve this problem.

wisemancumth asked:


I heard once, but on a rather old show that regular computers dont work in space because they are effected by cosmic rays and magnetism. So if thats the case what do they do to make them work? Is that why you dont see astronauts using laptops and blackberries?
