A Career in Computers?

What is the easiest to learn, best paying field to learn in computers?



A Career in Computers?agv



It's more a matter of how good you are in a given field and how much experience you have, rather than which field in particular. The very most senior-level programmers typically earn 120k+, whereas entry-level programmers in the same language might only earn 45.



Same with networking. Senior systems administrators for large networks can earn 120-150k+, while IT support just starting out as technicians only earn 40-50.



The examples go on and on. The main point to take away is that "computers" is not a get-rich-quick industry, despite what the media may have you believe. It works very much the same as every other career - the more time and experience you accrue, the more opportunities and higher pay you will receive.



As far as easy to learn - that depends on what you enjoy. If you like something and it's interesting to you, it will be easy to learn. If not, it will be very difficult to learn. Take some entry level courses on programming, networking, hardware and see what you enjoy the most.

Most, if you have the aptitude, are easy to learn. However, when it comes to best paying - HA! All those jobs are being outsourced at a ridiculously fast pace! Be careful and maybe look elsewhere.
Easiest I think is networking if your hands on person and always need to be doing something if your patient then programming would be your best bet either one pays well it all depends on the company size and the education you have going into both. You can make good money in either fields depending on how much education you receive...........I wouldn't go for money it doesn't make you happy go for what you love either being hands on with computers doing networking and repairs or setting up software and writing with programming
its between security and networking, but to get the major bucks takes years of learn like cisco, doing ccna, ccne. and the same for secuirty, eg u will need to know firewalls, virus programs backwards, including voip, sql etc.

Some questions for people that build their own computers?

1. Where did you learn to make your own?



2. Is it cheaper to build one your self or buy one?



3. Where do you get the stuff that you make your computer with?(i.e. store, thrown out, garage sale)



4. How do you know if certain parts go together?(i.e. how do you know if a certain graphics card will work with the rest of the computer)



5. This question is kinda not related to building computers but, is it possible to wipe the hard drive to nothing, then install, for example a linux Operating system?



Some questions for people that build their own computers?anti virus protection



1. I kinda learned it myself... I disassembled some really old computers and assemble them back a long time ago only because i was bored.



2. Its cheaper to buy a prebuilt one, only if its a basic computer. If your going to build a powerful machine or atleast a GOOD machine, then its better to build your own since its cheaper and better quality. I'm never going back to buying a prebuilt PC because its cheaper and FUN.



3. www.tigerdirect.com, www.newegg.com



4. You have to know if they are compatible or not... you should do some research...



5. Yes, it is possible to delete the entire drive to nothing. Pop in a boot CD and delete all the partitions on the drive.



6. That 177GB might be enough for windows and linux, if your NOT planning to put alot of stuff in it like music and videos.

Myspace dose not belong on school computers?

Do you agree or disagree with this question. I think it belongs on home computers and people should not ask on ways to get around the blockers on school computers here on yahoo answers.



Myspace dose not belong on school computers?anti virus scan



i agree



in fact there is a lot that the kids using proxys dont know - when you use a proxy site to view any site that you have to log into, the owner of the proxy site then has your login information which they can then use to hack your profile, or sell to spammers



this is especially a problem for people who have 9283479274 friends, as spammers LOVE to steal those profiles



so remember kids, if you use a proxy to get on myspace, you better not be surprised when someone starts posting bulletins using your account, or starts spreading spam in your friends' comments, or if your account gets deleted



you asked for it by giving your login information to the proxy site



Myspace dose not belong on school computers?ariel



i agree %100
I agree completly
i agree
I SAY MYSPACE DOES NOT BELONG ON SCHOOL COMPUTERS BECAUSE SCHOOL IS A PLACE FOR KIDS TO LEARN AND TO GET AN EDUCATION SO THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET A JOB AND NOT BE DUMB, I EVEN SAY IF KIDS ARE ON MYSPACE AT HOME "DID THEY DO THERE HOMEWORK AND HELP THEIR PARENTS OUT AND ALSO IF THEY ARE ON MYSPACE WHAT ARE THEY UP TO?!!" KIDS SHOULD LEARN RESPONSIBILTY AND THE DEFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG AND THEY SHOULD LEARN RESPECT.
disagree. myspace is myspace. doesn't matter where.

Wow, man. Compare Abraxus' answer to those who disagreed. Clearly logic prevails.

Why do teenagers have to use computers (they must, believe me, I am a teen) for school assignments?

I hate it, I always get distracted by them.



I hate society because we actually are forced to use things that distract us. Is this what society has been reduced to, distractions? No wonder procrastination levels and ADD/ADHD and other attention disorders have soared.



This society is cruel in my opinion.



I, as a student, would really rather not use computers!



I appreciate ALL of the opinions you can give me!



We are forced to use computers in class to do assignments and out of class to do papers



Why do teenagers have to use computers (they must, believe me, I am a teen) for school assignments?anti virus software



I don't think computers do distract us.. Computers are helpful, they're accessible, and made our works fast.. But it's up to the person if he/she will use the computer.. Teachers learned to adopt the ever changing reality which is the modernization and fast pacing technology, if not then you'll be left out by the society..



Why do teenagers have to use computers (they must, believe me, I am a teen) for school assignments?aurora



Computers are used as tools to make life simpler. If one isn't mature enough to handle his behavious with a computer, it isn't the computer's fault.

Anyone experienced with computers can someone tell me how to buy a laptop in Australia?antivirus download



I you can afford a iMac you should get one. They are very stable and Apple supports their products for a long time and has great customer service. If you get a Mac you could order one off Apples online store. However, you should wait a week because apple is getting ready to refit their Macbook with a faster processor and bigger hard drive. If you are getting a MacPro, then order one whenever you are ready as these were updated a while ago.



http://store.apple.com/au



If an Apple is not an option I would recommend buying an HP or Sony. Look for atleast 2-3 gigs of RAM and 250 - 350 gig Hard drive, a web cam, Windows Vista Home Premium and a processor around 2 ghz with a cd rad/ rewrite and dvd read/ rewrite drive. These are all fairly common features right now and should not cost that much. HP includes all these features in an 800-1000 USD price range. I would advise going to purchase one in-store and at a nationally known electronics store.



I do not know your computing needs however.

How harmful are computers, portable phones, tv's, power tools, etc.?

I read something in Kevin Trudeau's book about computers being harmful - can anyone tell me more specifically what the risks are?



How harmful are computers, portable phones, tv's, power tools, etc.?antivirus programs



Yes they are harmful to the human body. I have all of trudeau's books so I am familiar with him, and I agree with him. Cell phones can hard boil an egg in one hour, think what it will do to the brain. The main risk is cellular degeneration which with prolonged exposer will lead to disease. If exposed long enough the DNA will be permanently damaged, that is defenently not good. The only reason that computers are harmful is because they use an electro magnet device to power the screen, which emits the radiation. You want to at least stay around two feet from the screen to the body, or a full arm length. Laptops make you sit closer then tower PC's. You can buy computer monitors that emit no radiation, they are expensive but worth it. NASA even uses non EMR monitors, because they understand that radiation reduces cognitive abilities.



The cell phone companies have spent over one hundred million dollars on research on radiation shielding technology, so when people say it doesn't harm the body then why on earth would they spend so much money researching EMF shielding technology. There are products that help block electromagnetic radiation, I own a couple of them and its on myself all day long, I even keep them on my headboard to protect me while i am sleeping. You should research Dr. George Carlo, the cell phone companies hired him to disprove that cell phones were harmless, but his research overwhelmingly proved that they were very harmful to the body. When the cell phone companies found out they offered him a one million dollars a year salary to keep him quiet, he refused, he figured people's lives were more important then money. He has a very informative web site, I will leave a link to it.

What are good brands for desktop computers and/or laptops?

What are some top brands for desktop computers/laptops, and which is better for music, and high performance? A laptop or a computer?



What are good brands for desktop computers and/or laptops?ariel



I run only HP. I've delt with Dell, Gateway, Compact, and Toshibia's, and in my personal opinion, the HP is the best performance for the price. I tend to run the Walmart standard systems and just upgrade video card, and ram as needed.



What are good brands for desktop computers and/or laptops?computers



they both can be the same for what you're getting one for... your next question would be do you want to be mobile with it or not. what i think you will want is def. a mac book pro. nothing is better. and if you like windows you can run both leopard and xp or vista on the same laptop or desk top.. but for durability and mobility you'll def. want to look into the 17 or 15 screen mac book pro. you won't be disappointed!!! happy shopping!
alienware
A desktop will always be superior to a laptop in terms of performance and price. It is also very cheap to fix, when you eventually damage your laptop. Best brand names are: Toshiba, HP, and maybe Dell. Note that most laptops can be consumer (Cheaper) or business brands. The business brands are usually more rugged and worth the extra money for durability.
a laptop is a computer. You probably mean a laptop or a desktop. Generally they are about the same. Difference is that Laptops are mobile, you can move them around, but they are harder to upgrade.

They don't. Planes crash and cause can sometimes be the failure of the on board instrumentation, fly by wire technology and computers.
they dont use windows.

where did u get the info that they never crash? are u an omnipotent force that knows all? they could quite well have crashed in the past. For all we know some plane crashed may have been caused by that....its not as if you have watched all the news 24/7 for the last 50 yrs to know? that could have already happened in the 80s for example, and how would you know any different?

Internet Connection Sharing - Is it more computers the more slower?

I'm considering in getting a laptop and would have one laptop and one computer in my house.



I was wondering if the more computers/laptops there are the slower the internet connnection is?



Internet Connection Sharing - Is it more computers the more slower?avast



in general, yes. but with two computers you will only notice a difference if one of them is downloading a large file such as a movie!



Internet Connection Sharing - Is it more computers the more slower?ducati



Yes, as all computers are sharing the bandwidth you get from your internet service provider. Unless it's a dial up at 56k, you probably won't notice with just 2 computers. It will work fine.
What you say is very true, but this also dependent upon the server you are connecting that transmits the data to your computer, too. Two computer will not be a big concern at all with high speed Internet connection. You may experience some short slower transmission, but in general, the speed won't be too bad.
Yeah i have 2 computre and a laptop, my dad uses the computer, we have a VOiP phone i use my laptop, it lags everything! Bandwidth is a big problem, contact ur ISP and ask him for a boost or more bandwidth.
Your Internet connection has a limited amount of bandwidth, so for each computer that is accessing the connection, the slower the connection is goign to seem. Depending on the type of connection that you have, though, 3 machines should not create that much of a slow down, you might see slow down if you were trying to watch or play streaming video or music or download things all at once, but for normal browsing, I wouldnt think it would be a problem.

How to share contacts between two computers, one running with Vista, the other with XP?

I am looking for a free method to share the contacts between the two computers. I have a contact list in my Vista computer but after I put it on a network folder, the Windows XP cannot read that format file. I wonder if there is a way that Windows XP can read the .CONTACT file created by the Vista.



How to share contacts between two computers, one running with Vista, the other with XP?best antivirus software



Since Vista is the later OS, it's format may not be understood by XP. If the file was created on XP you might stand more chance, but with Microsoft there are no guarantees. Alternatively you could create a small database on one machine and make this available to the other.

Why gaming consoles are made when computers are capable?

Computers that meet minimum requirements for games are able to do what gaming consoles do, and a lot more.



Why do consumers continue to purchase expensive gaming console hardware knowing that it is just another (redundant) computer in disguise?



Why gaming consoles are made when computers are capable?bmw



computers get viruses, they slow down when you download so many games, they always need to be updated and to buy a newer computer to keep up with the better games



Why gaming consoles are made when computers are capable?free adware remover



To use a pc you need at least an functioning brain - you know, for install, configuring etc.



Any dimwit can plug a cartridge or insert a disk - much bigger market.
Game Consoles are specifically designed to be able to play a specific se of games, and companies sell gaming consoles to get more money.
Its for those people who can't keep up with the computer hardware and such. Video card and memory upgrades can really burn a hole in your pocket. So they buy a gaming console knowing that it will be able to play whatever game comes out without much issues.
You get a different gaming experience on a console than you do on a computer. Also, some games are played better on some systems than others.

Why are humans so much better translators than Computers?

Why are humans so much better translators than Computers?cafe racer



Computers are programed to do a specified formula which, unless guided it will not try to research it, while the computers can be more efficient than humans, humans are still smarter and are not programmed! Humans might be slower but life experience makes them more sophisticated and smarter!



Why are humans so much better translators than Computers?free anti virus



language is very dependent on the context of the words and computers cant deal with that and with decisions
Humans are better at translations because they understand the intricacies of language, unlike computers that can only translate exact words. For the same reasons computers are better at math, because math is absolute.
Humans have been around much longer than computers.
Sentences in different languages don't have the same structure, a computer is currently unable to re-order the words correctly.
computers have neither head nor heart
You have to remember: Without humans, what use is a computer? Nothing.
i think nothing is smarter than a computer.
maybe cos computers are smart, but they have no imagination. They translate too litteraly.
Computers can do a lot of things, but they do not have the capacity for emotions such as: empathy, compassion, sadness, happy, or feel excitement. A human can convey those emotions in any language.

Do you remember when computers were REALLY hard to use?

I hear people whine about how hard computers are to use all the time. "How do you cut and paste?", "How come I dragged this icon over there but it didn't go there" etc. etc.



I remember the days of executing programs by command line. Memorizing DOS commands. Figuring out which IRQ or DMA conflict was causing XWing to crash. Extended memory, Expanded memory, 640K barrier, etc. etc. Now THAT was tough computing!



And I'm pretty sure those before me had it even harder!

Can you have two computers hooked up to Yahoo DSL at the same time without getting an IP address con

I have my Yahoo DSL modem hooked up to a HUB and than a Cat 5 line from the HUB to my PC. However, if I hook up a 2nd Cat 5 line from my HUB to my laptop, I get an error that there are conflicting IP Addresses. Is there a way to have both of these computers hooked up to Yahoo DSL at the same time? I would have thought that since they are choosing an IP Address automatically that they would choose different ones, but apparently not.



Can you have two computers hooked up to Yahoo DSL at the same time without getting an IP address conflict?network



Hubs do not manage any of the traffic that comes through them. You need a router. A router would give a different distinct internal IP address to each device that you plug into it.



Can you have two computers hooked up to Yahoo DSL at the same time without getting an IP address conflict?norton



It depends on how many IP addresses were assigned to you by your ISP. If there is only one address assigned for your hosts then you are going to get the conflict you mentioned. To avoid this, purchase a router. They are cheap anymore. Connect the modem to the router and the computers to the router. Make the router a DHCP "server".
I have a wireless setup in the house. We have three computers on it. One laptop and two desk units. As far as I know we have two on the web most of the time with the laptop chiming in from time to time. So far we haven't had any sort of a problem.
I have 4 computers and a printer hooked up to my hub, and have not had a conflict. Have all the computers hooked up to your hub. Shut off the hub and the router then start them again, sometimes they get a brain fart.
The problem is that you're using a hub, when you need to be using a router.



A hub is a simple repeater. A router is a device for connecting networks together.



Use a basic ethernet router instead of a hub and it should work fine.

How to connect two computers to one monitor?nortan antivirus



A number of companies manufacture a switch that allows two computers to be used from the same keyboard / mouse / monitor... Some switches can have 3 and 4 computers run from the same controls... Check out tigerdirect.com compusa.com



and other big retailers to see who has what available today.



These types of devices have been manufactured since the 286,



but come and go on the fringe market... There are some with old 9 pin mouse, large DIN keyboard ports ( XT / AT keyboards ) and even 9 pin TTL / EGA monitor plugs, while now, they are made with PS/2 mice, 15 pin monitor plugs, and



small DIN PS2 keyboard plugs... I see these devices from time to time, but pricing and availability change daily, since only a few people use them...



Products at Tiger like:



B451-3028



B451-3026



are tiny everyday use, but you can pay hundreds of dollars for electronic, high-end switches that use expensive Dual-PCI-express videos or HDTV / DVI etc. monitor outputs...

How to connect two computers to one monitor?nortonantivirus



You need a KVM, check out newegg.com for good prices and serive.



If you have a USB keyboard/mouse, make sure your KVM supports USB.
Go and pick one switch at any PC store
I think most monitors only have one place to connect your tower too so I don't know how you would do it.
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/K/KVM_swit...



Keyboard, Video, Monitor switch. It lets you switch to multiple computers from one kvm interface.
you can simply use a KVM switch which lets you control several computers by one set of keyboard+video(monitor)+mouse(KVM) or in reverse see the contents of one PC on several monitors.

To close a program.



Press the [Alt] button then use the Down Arrow keys to scroll down to Exit.



These are call keyboard short cuts, most programs have them, to see and learn them, use the mouse and go through a progams menu bar, in the drop-down lists you'll see the keyboard short cut for an action.



For example, open Internet Explorer, click Edit in the menu bar, you see Paste Ctrl + V



So press the Ctrl key plus the V key and this will paste.

No, Bill Gates is busy burying them all in the Arizona desert!



Have you found any computers with Windows XP on clearance at the stores?panda



Don't expect any clearances on Windows Vista for awhile, and the reason being that it is not tested fully. If you are looking for a computer with Windows XP then all you have to do is to go onto eBay. New computers sold are going to have the Vista automatically installed.
Do not expect any great deals on computers. Most computers in operation right now are not capable of running Vista, only 15% are, so the retail outlets will be making their money on sales of new computers, not Vista sales. So, do not expect any sales until Thanksgiving.
It will most likely be due to the outdated hardware rather than having XP instead of Vista.



Most manufacturers are simply offering free upgrades to Vista on all recently built units shipped with XP.



Personally... I think that's the best deal of all ... you get to choose and aren't stuck with only XP Pro or only Vista.

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product...



customizations which I have made already :



graphic card : ENHANCED Galaxy GeForce 7900 GS 256MB PCI-E X16 7900GS



Windows Vista



and a bigger monitor :D



soo I need some advice on how to improve my computers performance.



Looking to upgrade my computers hardware...?nortin



I've always been under the impression that a bigger RAM and a larger HD will increase performance...but after looking at the specs for your PC, I don't see what else you can do really. I think you needed to include what it is you want your computer to do that it's not doing in your question...that would make it easier to answer your question.



Looking to upgrade my computers hardware...?pc security



Everything looks great as far as the hardware. You may want to look into getting a dvd/rw or something of that but as far as I can see you are running a sharp computer. Make sure that your power box can handle all of this gear or you will find yourself having to replace that after it goes out and takes a few things with it. You can also prevent this by using a surge protector and do not plug that huge monitor on the same line as the computer and accessories.



Hope this helps!

A world with out computers?

How would you life be affected if we didn't have computers? Would it be harder or easy? Would we be smarter or work harder?



A world with out computers?norton 360



My life? Well as a freelance graphic designer (specializing in web design and presentation work) who is married to a man with a masters in Computer Science (currently working as a high level programmer) and having 2 children who are largely self educating themselves on the computer and DVD player - I would be dramatically affected.



But when you think about how computers are vital in so many ways today - from cleaning water and providing electricity, to controling street lights and how we can get and use our money, I would say each and every one of us would be dramatically affected if we had no more computers.



Of course if we never had them, we would never miss them.



A world with out computers?photoshop



it won't be a world
Much harder at first, but we would adapt. We got this far without computers, we can do it again. However, initially, we'd be in total chaos, as practically everything know requires some form of microchip processor. Aftter solving the intial crises, however, we'd just go back to 100 years ago.
Naturally happier with peace.
People would read books and engage in actual in-person conversations. You would have to learn how to make change from a cash register and maybe even use a pencil and simple math using only your brain to add up the purchases.

Want to link 4 computers to network?

I have 4 computers , and I would like to set up a network for them. I also would like to share an Internet connection, but I do not want to use a router or something that needs a broadband or cable modem to run. I would like to transfer files between them, and share a dial-up connection. Is there something that will fit my needs?



Want to link 4 computers to network?norton 2008



You will need a router or a hub to connect the machines. Since the cost is similar, even though you do not have broadband now, I would recommend you get a router if you choose to upgrade later on. Get a router with at least 4 ports in addition to the uplink or WAN port (but you won't use that one) and you will need to set up one of your machines as the dhcp server, router and dial up connection. If you are somewhat competent you could use Linux, but if you want simple use XP and turn on Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) There is a wizard to guide you through the setup. You can then turn on file sharing to access your local files. You will need to do that on all machines that will host files. WARNING - 4 machines on one dial up link will be painfully slow for anything other than text based applications.



Want to link 4 computers to network?pop up blocker



sharing a dial up conection no a days is not to good, is too slow more most of the part, you can get a swith or a hub and conect them over ethernet cables, and have the one with the dialup conection to share the conection with other computer on your network, I advise getting dsl or cable better.

What effect will quantum computers have on our world?

If someone could tell me what exactly they would do that our normal computers can't do? Would they have intelligence? Emotion?



How will this effect human life? Good or bad thing?



What effect will quantum computers have on our world?norton antivirus 2007



For the most part? Zilch. There are crude quantum computers now. They utilise a functon of quantum mechanics called superposition - classical computers are made of bits, that have to be a 0 or a 1 - quantum computers are composed of qubits (from quantum bits and pronounced 'cubits') which can be 1, 0 or (this is gonna be tough if you've never read anything about quantum mechanics) - a superposition of both states.



Quantum computers would be able to compute using resources in parallel dimensions and would be able to do many things incredibly fast - many, many times faster than computers today. One of the reasons the governments are so interested in them that one of the things their rapid algorithms would be able to do is factor numbers very quickly. That won't mean much to you I expect but modern encryption is all about the difficulty of factoring incredibly large (several hundred digit) prime numbers. If someone had a computer that could do this they might be able to read the governments secret messages, steal millions of dollars from banks, and so on. Quantum computers aren't likely to be any more capable of sentience than regular computers. Making a computer faster does not make it more human.

Is there a REALLY simple book on computers for my elderly mother?

I've searched Amazon but even the beginner's books I found were more complicated than what I need. She is very techno-phobic and becomes intimidated by anything the least bit technical sounding.

Can a group of computers have the same IP address?

Can a group of computers, laptops and desk tops that conect to the internet from different locations and even at the same time be made to have the same IP address?



Can a group of computers have the same IP address?norton internet security



Yes and No. If they use public IP addresses, then each address is unique and no two nodes (whether computers, printers, etc.) can use the same address.



If they use private IP address, such as those in the 10.xx or 192.xx range, and they are on separate networks, then Yes. But if they reside on the same network, the IPs still need to be different.



Can a group of computers have the same IP address?spyware remove



No, its not possible.



They all are is same network, but they all not have same node.



One user tells router address is unique,



Router address is called default gateway,not IP address.
no. don't be silly. thats what ip addresses are for, identifying separate machines.



except they can mask it, so i suppose so.
if they use the same router, they can sometimes use the router's IP address to mask the individual CPU's IP addresses. If multiple CPUs connect in this way, they will all show up as the same IP address
A local network may all have the same IP adrress to the outside world. But each local machine will have a address that is known in that network.



Say you have a router at home with 3 computers, if you were to check the IP address from somewhere else, it would give you the IP address of the router, but each computer would have another address according to the router.

If they are both Windows XP computers find the driver for a USB cable on the internet. Or, just install your old harddrive as a slave into your new computer. That is what I usually do.
So can you map a drive in windows explorer (windows explorer not internet explorer). can you go inot windows explorer and see the other drive??? Mapping if required means knowing the name of the other system (one is called MINE and the newer called FASTER or whatever you named them) and doing F: = \\mine\c.



You may have to setup each drive as shared so goto winows explorer highlight the drive and use the menus to find sharing and make the drive a shared and call it c (or whatever name you want) .



I use a hub or router to connect so it is a network and just share the drive i want access to and used windows explorer to look for it and call it a drive letter and then open it in windows explorer and move the files to the system i want.

Sorry no. Get a wireless router and wireless nic for one of the computers if it doesn't have one. They're about $50 each, although you may find them for as little as $20.



They're not hard to set up.



Can you plug 2 computers into 2 diff. phone outlets (DSL) at the same time and work on diff. websites?stinger



Get a wireless router and go wireless. Plug your DSL modem into the router and the router will send out a wireless signal so that you can get on the internet w/ wireless.



RJ
No, DSL goes through the phone line, which is susceptible to noise interference. Most DSL modems require that you put filters on all phone outlets to minimize this noise. So if you were to plug a second DSL modem into another phone line it would cause interference. This would be like using dial-up to connect to the internet, then picking up the phone and trying to talk.



The easiest way might be to purchase a DSL modem that has wireless capabilities and put a wireless network card into the second computer.
You should get a modem that links them. We have Linksys which is a wireless internet. We have 4 computers all running on DSL and the Linksys makes this possible. Walmart and Best Buy sell the system. And then you can each do whatever you want on the internet.

We called them Mac.
mac osx is the operating system and apple is the Brand that makes the computers for them so i guess apple computers
Mac is just short for Macintosh, which is the name of their line of computers. If you want to be formal, just say Apple computers
"Apple" is the general name for the company and "Mac" is the name for a generation of its computers.
apple is the company that produces Macintosh computers or macs



its like the apple iPod you don't call it the apple mp3 player



mac is one fo the ranges its like saying 'microsoft windows' windows is the product like mac



so yea everyone calls them 'macs'



the latest version is macOSX (tiger)
apple is the name of the computer company but mac is what they are usually called but they are really supposed to be apple computers. mac is the line of the computers i.e. imac, emac, macbook, macbook pro, mac pro, mac mini etc.

If you do not have a router it may not work. If you have installed the router and connected it to one computer then it should be OK. Read your instruction manual or visit the companies website for troubleshooting information. I do not think you can connect one computer to another without by just using two wireless adapters although I'm not sure- make sure ad hoc mode is enabled anyway (through the connection settings).



Hope this Helps!
You should have a shared folder on one of the computers to SEE.



Be sure that you set the WORKGROUP name the same.



Browse through your Network Neighborhood... Entire Network... You should see TWO computers in that network group.



Try disabling your FIREWALL on both computers temporarilly. Maybe that is a part of the problem.

To setup wireless router on my DSL or Modem Cable.



First you need a network cables which we go from you modem to your PC and a router.



Make sure you get the blue network cable for your connection.



Have one cable connect from your modem to your router which specify base on the router instructions.



Have another cable connects from your router to the PC. But once you router is connected to your modem you should be able to connect wireless to any PC who has wireless adapter. Also you can add two or more computer to your network through your wireless router.

ethernet wire unless you have a wireless router
If you're looking to connect multiple computers and only have one Internet connection, you may want to purchase a router.



With a router, you can connect multiple computers to the same network and you probably don't need to pay extra money to your ISP to do so, either.



Good luck and I hope I helped you!
You need cat 5 cable and a router. Check to see if your DSL modem has a router built in
You may be thinking of a splitter. I am not sure if that works for internet modems.
The simplest and cheapest, and maybe the best way to connect 2 computers to one DSL modem would be with your basic 10/100 switch. If the DSL modem does not have any spare ports on it then you would run the CAT5 cable from the DSL modem to the switch and then simply plug both PCs into the switch using CAT5 patch cables.

Is it ok for 3 or 4 computers to share one AVR? Is it dangerous?

I have 4 computers and I want these to share one AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator), is this dangerous? can it damage my computer units?



Is it ok for 3 or 4 computers to share one AVR? Is it dangerous?spyware remover



The typical desktop computers are not using much electricity. I had the same concern with my 4 desktops plus 2 printers, scanner, modem, router, UPS, and few other devices connected to the same outlet. I hired electrician to take a look. It turned out that my entire load was less then 2 Amps, while the line is capable of handling something like 12 Amps on a single circuit breaker. It turned out that I also had the washer and drier on the same circuit and even that, when added to the load, didn't exceed the maximum capacity.



If your AVR can handle 2 amps of load (and it should), you would be fine.

check if your workgroup is same and see that computer browser service is running on your computer.



Why can't I see my other computers on my network?virus scan



basically, if you properly installed and configure your units, you won't have trouble about your networks. why try checking your firewall or try to share something to your computers. it would be better if you declare something to share to your computer. and these will determined by the computers. especially when you are using XP.
With windows XP PCs should see each other even when the workgroup names are different. Can the other two machine see each other? This looks like a firewall issue. Try disabling the firewall on the machines for a brief time and checking to see if the all the PCs can see each other. I would suggest that you disconnect the router from the internet before you disable the firewall(s) to prevent security problems. You can do this by pulling out the lead connecting the router to the telephone socket. This will not stop your network from working. To see a resource (drives and folders) of other PC's this needs to be shared first. To do this do a right click, (or as my friend Jabba says do a wrong click :) then select sharing and security , click the share this folder radio button and click OK. You probably need to wait a little while windows Vista discovers this newly shared resource. Let me know how you get on with this.
Yer Jameer probably right check that your on the same work group. also if you have manually assigned the ip address check that the first three sets of number are the same and the the last set diffrent i.e 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.4

Why doesn't my computers ethernet port allow my broadband modem to connect to it.?

Ok so there seems to be something wrong with my computers ethernet port. I have tried 3 different modems and several different ethernet cords. I can currently use the internet via the usb port but i need to get the ethernet port going. The man from time warner said that it is not a problem with the modem but that there is some type of program overriding the ethernet port. Where can i find out what is overriding the ethernet port? When i connect it to the modem it tries to issue an ip address and then a few secs later it says a network cable is unplugged.



Why doesn't my computers ethernet port allow my broadband modem to connect to it.?suzuki



It's one of these 3:



Bad Driver



Failed (failing) NIC



Bad cable.



If it's a driver problem, should be easy to find the manufacturer's site and get the updates. A failed NIC is a little harder as this has you buying a new one (for about $5) and opening the comptuer and installing it. The cable really could be the problem here. Make sure you're not trying to use a crossover cable. Yes there are testers you can buy that will tell you for sure, but you already own the BEST testing set on the market. Your eyes. Have a look at the individual wires on each end. Flip them over so the little retention clip is facing down. Now, you'll see 8 tiny wires and they're color coded, blue/blue white, orange/orange white, green/green white, brown/brown white. IF you're using a straight cable, the wires will be the same on each end. IF you're using a crossover cable, pins 1,2,4,6 will be switched. See my example below. Good luck. Feel free to E-mail me through Yahoo answers if you need more help.

I use a WRT54G. After you buy the router, plug the cable modem into the router. Plug each of your computers into the router. You should be set to go.

You need to have a router (if you have DSL or Broadband Internet connection).



You need to configure the router to access the Internet (Instructions are based on router model/brand) and to share the Internet connection with all devices attached to the Switch.



So you have to connect your router to the switch and your computers to the LAN ports on the switch.

You can try setting up a network between the computers and if you dont know how there is help option called networking that shows how to set it up.
buy a LAN bridge....



1 ethernet can come to 3-6 output...
u need a LAN cable and a proxy.

How to create a link between 2 computers if their IPs are known?

I need to connect 2 computers. I know its IP addresses. Can I do that ?..if yes..how ?? .these computers are not in a common network. they both have access to internet.



How to create a link between 2 computers if their IPs are known?best antivirus software



What is the purpose of the link? If it's a VPN you want, you could use OpenVPN which would run for either Windows or Linux/UNIX/Mac. If you want to remotely control a PC, use VNC/TightVNC. You could also use Putty or Plink (part of the Putty suite) and OpenSSL to get a remote SSL tunnel between PCs. It really depends on what you are trying to achieve with the link.

I am doing a math project on computers. PLEASE HELP!!?

I am doing a math project on computers. Does anyone know how math relates to computers?



I am doing a math project on computers. PLEASE HELP!!?cafe racer



computers use the binary system, that is they only use zeros and ones (0,1) wich are represented with the on and off states, so the most significant part of math involved in computers i would say it's the Boolean Algebra



I am doing a math project on computers. PLEASE HELP!!?free anti virus



How Math relates to computer huh?



check out: Binary number system, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, etc. etc.
I am a computer science/applied mathematics major at Humboldt State. I might be able to help. What is your problem?



If your just looking for suggestions of where to look, I would start at set theory and first order predicate logic when talking about databases. Graph theory when talking about data structures. Discrete mathematics (especially proofs by induction) for algorithm development, combinatorics in general actually. Look at some of these topics and see how they might fit your project.

Will we ever outgrow our need for computers?

Very far into the future, do you think we will outgrow our need for computers and/or internet and replace them with even more advanced technology--i.e., biotechnology--computers with human interface complete with voice and emotion?!



Will we ever outgrow our need for computers?computer repair



they are currently developing so many things that would knock us off of our feet if they came out now; for instance, I heard that they're making it possible to control the mouse with your eyes. Then, I also heard that they're looking into ways of storing data in our DNA (apparently a square inch of our body's DNA can store all the info there has ever been). And man, there's a whol lot more. But it'll come with time.



To be seen......

The future is full of limitless posibilities, as long as we can survive our present.
Inevitably yes!
I'm sure soon someday, we won't need computers, but we ourselves WILL be the computers. Such as a possible implant into the brain to give us a computer like interface and a constant connection to a sort of "internet" so we'll have instant access to information. But who knows ...
probabbly.
That's what should happen. However, in looking back, we walked on the moon in '69 and by now I thought we would be living like the Jetson's, but that sure hasn't happened. We can only hope.



p.s. I'm old :) (hurry up)
Undoubtedly, if our species doesn't use up all our resources, the heat becomes unbearable, or we die off. Undoubtedly.
The question should be, "How did we grow into this dependence upon computers?"

Come on are apple computers?

really that much better than windows based computers?

yes they are. No viruses no spyware. companies are starting to make sure when they put a game out or a program that they make one for a mac. there is alot of games out now and gaming is still as fun.



want to run windows as well? well you can. Parallels makes it run with mac at the same time



btw i have a 2 button mouse that works just like windows does

NO! Those Apple commercials are misleading, plus Apple users are like a cult! :)



There are many problems with Apple:



They are more expensive



The accesories are proprietary (meaning less options and more costly)



Limited software selection



Limited user tweaking (you can't control many of the settings that you can with Windows)



Technical problems (they may seem like they don't exist, but they do, it's just that the Apple cult doesn't like talking about it)



Sure, Windows has it's problems, but there is a reason the majority of the world uses it. It's simply better!
Not if your a gammer. Yeah and they have shitty mice.
I use Windows, OS X and Linux and like them all. Windows is the most demanding due to security issues. No malware on the others to date.

Why is my wireless connection speed different on both of the computers?

ok well I have Verizon (The Fastest version of DSL) and I have 2 computers. On the compaq, the speed is 54.0 Mbps, and it stays at that speed. But on the Gateway (This Computer) the speed is at 11.0 Mbps and sometimes it will drop down to 1.0 Mbps and it does this very often. I have tried to switch wirless cards but the same exact thing happens! I have tried moving the Modem (Router) closer to this computer but it doesnt help at all. Could it be a setting on this computer? Why is the speed so much higher on the Compaq than on the gateway?



Also, I have the Actiontec DSL Modem from Verizon. (They SUCK! I cant believe I'm still with them and havent broken my contract yet!!) Anyway... ANY help is MUCH appreciated. Thank you so much!



Why is my wireless connection speed different on both of the computers?computer virus



I love all the misinformation :)



the answer is simple the slow computer is using



is using the 10 meg network protocol



the fast one is using the 100 meg network protocol



try this on both



Start%26gt;Run enter dxdiag



check speed under network tab on both PC's



networking can support 10/100 meg modes



newer NIC protocols can support 10/100/1000



the gateway NIC is probably very old (5-7 years)



BTW FIOS is not the fastest DSL available



my DSL is 3.8 m down and 768k up

How are HP desktop computers?

I was just wondering if anybody with an HP desktop could tell me how it runs and what not. My friends have HP Compaq Laptops and they are complete crap and never work properly. I was wondering is the desktops are similar. Also, does anyone know of a place online where people rate computers?? Thanks



How are HP desktop computers?computers



If I didnt build my own computers the only other brands I would buy are Alienware and HP. I have an HP laptop and I love it. I also had an HP desktop before and loved it too. They dont come preloaded with as much crap compared to other companies like Toshiba.



How are HP desktop computers?hijack this



I have worked for HP in the past, and I think very highly of their computers. I did tech support for MANY models, and seldom had any issues with a specific model. I no longer work for HP, so I'm not saying this to get in good with a boss. I'd happily go back to work for them again, and use their products.
HP's are great. Iv been using them for over a decade never a problem. Except for one the hard drive started to go but it still worked.
I have an HP Laptop and I don't have many issues with it. It works fast and is very easy to use, not to mention they have great tech support and yes there desktops work well to.
HP and dell are the best computers out there, i have used both of those computers, and all i can say is that they are AWSOME!!!

How to connect multiple computers to the internet?

I have two computers and want to connect both to a high speed internet connection how do I do this, I have a10/100m switch now what, do I need a router or a hub what is the difference. I know these are multiple questions but im getting kinda frustrated. Thanx



How to connect multiple computers to the internet?download



you will need,



a router,



possibly lan cables



possibly wireless cards



Ah, you haven't said what kind of computer's you have though.



if one is a desktop, connect your cable modem to the router and then the desktop to the router, via lan cables.



if they are both laptops then you will need wireless cards, your laptops may have them already included [if they are fairly new]



if not you can buy cheap usb wifi cards.



the router will come with a cd that will lead you through the entire setup.



the brand doesn't make all that much difference, [sorry cisco/netgear/belkin fan-boy/fan-girls] just choose the brand you feel comfortable with at a price according to your budget, check c-net for reviews. but it's fairly simple, just try not to get too flustered, and as always, ASK, we're here to help. =D



How to connect multiple computers to the internet?hijackthis



A switch will do the trick, so if you have a modem already just plug all it in so that the 2 computers come off the switch and theres a cable between the switch and modem.
get a router
What you need is a router. A switch will not allow you to share a Internet connection at home - it does not assign a IP address which is needed to be on the Internet. A hub is basically a switch with no IP assigning abilities either.
a router
Wireless internet card.
I suggest you consider buying a broadband router as it is simply plug and play.

What UPS and battery specification needed to powerup 6 computers (17" CRT), 2 fans & 2 tube

My UPS service person is not responding.



I currently have a single system that serves for 2 computers (17" CRT), 1 fan %26 1 tube for 1.5 hrs . It says 1000DX UPS and 2 small Exide batteries. I am not sure about other specs.



1. What is the specification to go for 6 computers, 2 fans, 2 tubes for 6 hours?



2. Should I go separate systems (one for computers and other for fans %26 tubes)? (I prefer to have one system for all).



3. How much will it cost?



4. Which brand is best? How about APC - any good models?



Thanks for your answers.

I doubt the current one will handle it's load for that long, more like 15 minutes. You are looking at thousands in cost just to get 15 to 25 minutes on all this. Better is a supply to give 20 minutes max for each machine, and a backup generator for extended support. Much cheaper.

if you're thinking of buying an ipod you should out this site first. they give you an ipod nano for FREE! all you need to do is complete a few quick tasks for them.
the document referenced to apple's webpage was very good, i have believed the ipod that it will work in only one computer, but i was wrong, it will work in any computer, as long as you got it in manual mode and the same operative system
i dont think its possible.if u sync it to one computer and get all the songs from that computer and sync it to another computer that has different songs the before synced song get erased.

Which field to go for a career in IT/computers for a 25 year old?

I am a 25 year old, Have done BA in economics.



Currently am working in a call center. I am very interested in computers and have a programmer's bent of mind, I know this coz in school I had done Pascal programming, and it came very naturally to me.



Now I have not done any course in computers, and I cannot do any academic course like bachelors or engineering or anything.



I would like to know, is it possible to make a carrer in computers. proggramming or web designing or something like that?



Provided that I work hard at it, how lucrative or how feasible do you think it can be , given my position?



My other option is to do MBA,. I would really appreciate if somecan can guide me in this. If possible suggest some course you might know.



Which field to go for a career in IT/computers for a 25 year old?firewall



Web design, or web programming is probably one of the easiest fields to transition into. Though it would require much work, in terms of learning your chosen programming language, it's definitely doable.



MBA can be lucrative, as well. If computers are your passion, web design can make you between $10-100 per hour.



I started in the design field about 6 years ago making $10 per hour, and I'm currently making around $60 per hour. I'm a PHP/LAMP developer.

Can I hook multiple computers together?

I have some old computers and I am trying to hook them together to work as a single unit. They arn't really useful, so I wanted to try and make them worth keeping. Is this possible?



Can I hook multiple computers together?free anti virus



Technically, yes, you can connect them in what is known as a 'cluster'. However, this probably isn't a practical solution, since you can't really run Windows like this, and it takes a lot of effort and know-how to do. You could also opt to set them up as a server farm or something like that if you have a use for it (ie, storing lots of data, rendering 3D animations, etc), which is easier, but still not something for the casual computer user.



Your best option may be to cannibalize parts (esp. RAM) from some to improve the performance of others.



Can I hook multiple computers together?internet security software



I am assuming these PCs are not worth keeping because they are way too outdated to run Windows. If these PCs are pretty much the same (same brand, model, net card, memory config, etc) then you could easily turn them into a Linux cluster.

How do I get my wireless laptops/computers to reconnect to my router without restarting my router?

I've been having this problem from quite some time. My problem is that other laptops/computers in my household connected wireless (I'm the only one wired) after being turned off and turned back on, their internet does not work. It will work again after I reset my router. It was becoming very vexing reseting my router every time so I replaced it only to find out the same problem continues to exist.



I was previously using a Netgear WGT624, which also gave me dropped connections and wouldn't reconnect until it was reset. Now I'm using a 2wire Gateway 2700HG-B, I haven't heard any problems from the laptop users but a computer connected through a wireless print server (Netgear WGPS606) couldn't go on the internet until the router was reset. Oddly, the status of the print server said it was connected to the router but the internet was not working.



Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.



How do I get my wireless laptops/computers to reconnect to my router without restarting my router?free antivirus download



Have you tried setting the wireless print server up with a dynamic IP so it won't change every time the wireless is reset. You might also try that on all computers so a reset won't affect the computers either wired or wireless. Turn off DHCP on the router and give all devices a static IP and it will probably help.



Good Luck.

Why is there no virus in Mac computers?

On the commercials it said that there is no virus in Mac computers, but there is on windows computer, why is it like this? Why can't windows have no virus as well?



Why is there no virus in Mac computers?free antivirus



When you click on a file in windows that has a virus it automatically installs without you doing anything else and your INFECTED.



Mac and Linux needs your permission to install programs on the computer. this helps eliminate virus getting on the OS



Mac and Linux do have virus but not as many as windows.



I guess if the Mac was more popular than windows I guess there would be more virus out there for the Mac.



Windows Vista the new OS that is coming out on Jan 2007 do have this option where it will ask your permission (and password) for you to install programs or modify the system.



Why is there no virus in Mac computers?internet



Do you trust commercials? Even John W. Thompson's computer may have viruses.
I'm guessing because people don't waist their time writing virus for Mac computers since the vast majority of private and companies use Windows.
Macs have no virus's lol. that seems highly improbable.



they aren't as common as windows systems. So they might have less virus's but none you got to be kidding. Why would they say that when it's not true? They are trying to sell their product the tell you want you want to hear. Macs are alright don't get me wrong.
It is said that Mac computers have a built in safe guard, that does not recognise a virus. This is a myth, a mam on here bought one and said it is not true because his computer got a virus.
because the windows system is very popular,and if any one who wants to make a virus,he will design it to work on windows system,because he also wants to spread it isnt that right?.very few people use mac system(comparing to windows users).

Not sure haw many ports on the back of the router, but make sure you are plugged into #1 and #2 port on the router, router and modem connected by cable going to WAN port. Then turn them all off and turn them back on in the order of modem first, let it initialize, then router, give it a minute to set up, then turn on the computers, and they should work just fine. You don't need the Netgear switch. e-mail me and I can help you if you still need it
