I’m think at least an I3core processor and 2GB RAM, but would prefer 4GB. They are still running Office 2002.

What’s ridiculous about it?

Are the machines doing their jobs or not?

Some companies make the economic decision to save their money rather than upgrading every time something new comes out, so long as what they have is adequately doing the job.

At this point, you have the additional burden of not only spending money on new equipment, but wasting time and money while the people learn all the new stuff that’s different. If you upgrade all their equipment, be prepared to answer a TON of questions to do stuff that simply doesn’t work the same way anymore. The company might not consider this to be a valuable use of your time.

I’m not saying NOT to upgrade — obviously, if you NEED to install some new software for some new functionality, it’s very likely it won’t run on the old stuff. And obviously if all you need to do is upgrade the RAM (assuming you can find any that’s still compatible), then that’s a very inexpensive way to make the systems run better without forcing people to make any uncomfortable changes.

BUT, if you don’t NEED to install some new stuff, you MIGHT be better off just staying with the old stuff. Don’t stir up the hornet’s nest if it isn’t necessary.

am just wondering as ive been thinking about getting a refurbished 1 as itll be cheaper.
thanks

It depends on the brand and model.
Generally, IBM and HP generally offer three-month standard warranties on their refurbished notebooks, while refurbished Dell Inspirons come with a one-year limited warranty.

Looking for a cheap laptop that has a 1GB graphics card and can be found at best buy or future shop. I am not to familiar with laptop technology so some suggestions and help would be appreciated. Price range is 499-699.

Good luck with that. Most 1g vid cards cost upwards of $350 to $600 alone, not including the rest of the laptop.

I should say most decent 1g cards, you can get cheaper 1g cards, but they just don’t have the performance needed.

I’m planning to buy a good gaming laptop. I’m crazy about gaming. I use complete games like "Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood" in three days. I’m confused about the fact that are laptops good for gaming in long run. I want to play games on my laptop exclusively and offcourse it will have a good graphic memory and other things like a gaming pc. Will it create problem to the laptop like – overheating, hanging etc. ? pc. Will it create problem to the laptop like – overheating, hanging etc. ?

All laptops have the same problem… they get very hot very quick. Electrical components give off latent heat. In a regular PC, fans push cold air in and hot air out and cases often have a lot of space between components for heat to dissipate. Laptops are designed to be slim and portable which means many components are squished very close together. As a result, heat has nowhere to go. Even the best gaming laptops will eventually fall victim to heating issues. If you got something like a lap cooler that would help but if you are really this adamant about gaming you should probably look into a gaming rig rather than a laptop, even if it is rated for gaming.

You may never get a hangup or a stall due to heat but you will probably get very uncomfortable playing long sessions. Laptops often heat up the most on the bottom and along the wrist pad, both areas where skin often comes into contact with the laptop.

What type of problem cannot be directly solved using conversion factors?

I have a hmwrk assignment that has this question and i have no idea what the answer is and i have been researching for 2 days. If anyone knows pleaseeeee help me!
And if possible give an example
Thank you

The question again:
What type of problem cannot be DIRECTLY solved using conversion factors?

This is difficult to answer without knowing the background and context of the question.

Factors usually just multiply one value in a particular units system to convert to another units system that is a simple ratio.

Non-linear systems do not allow this simple ratio adjustment.

Converting temperature from Centigrade to Fahrenheit is not simply a multiplication factor – a common datum level has to be integrated into the conversion.
F=C*180/100+32

Perhaps something like this is what is meant???

A few months ago i managed to change my laptops wireless secruity to WEP so it can accept my wireless hotspot. I’ve gotten a New wireless internet and want to change my laptop back to WPA, but have forgotten how.
Its a Compaq laptop bout 2 years old if it helps.

That setting is usually applied within the Router.

So for example type… 192.168.0.1 (Or 1.1) In the Address bar..

Then use the name and pass off the router to log in..

Then locate and alter the Security WEP Settings.

Hope it helps

How can we solve the problem of equality? Its for an essay on injustice and now I have to write a solution to the problem of equality. Anybody give me some tips/ideas please?

Trying to understand each other and respecting each others differences, judging people by who they are and not who you think they are, at least trying to get along and if we can’t agree to disagree

I want to buy a pc this diwali.my budget is 30000 rs.i want intel i5 2500k,4gb ram,ati radeon graphic card including in my budget.i want to play crysis2,cod4 and other high graphic games.plz suggest me to buy best gaming assemble pc including my budget with their price. Thanks

i5 + good GPU is not possible under 30k. 40k would be the best, but 35k would be the sweetest budget. Still i have tried my best with i3 to keep the price around 30k. Here is my suggestion:
Intel i3-2100 — 5.5k
Intel DH67VR — 4.5k
Corsair Value RAM 4GB DDR3 — 1.3k
WDC Blue 500GB — 1.9k
Samsung 22x DVD-RW — 0.9k
Zebronics Bijli/ Zeb. Reaper / CM Elite 310 — 1.55k
FSP SAGAII 500W — 2k
MSi/ASUS/Sapphire HD 6770 — 6.5k
SAMSUNG B2030/ DELL IN2020M — 6k
Logitech/MS Keyboard combo — 0.6k
Logitech z103 Speakers — 0.75k
Zeb. 600VA UPS — 1.1k
Total —- 32.6k
i5 i.e i5-2400 will add another 3.5k to your total, so finally it would become 36.1k

This is the cheapest config that i could think of that would allow you to play almost all games at high settings.

I am Turkish and Egyptian and my husband is Black (mixed somewhere down the line because he is very fair). From the second we started dating, people just have such a problem with us. I mean especially from Black Women and Middle Eastern men. Sometimes we get the worst treatment at restaurants and the weirdest looks. We are as happy as can be but I just don’t understand people. I don’t want to judge people so I just want to know what is the problem? What is so upsetting?

Black women probably feel like you’re ‘taking away’ a black men from black women. It’s a weird sense of entitlement, that they feel that black men should be dating black women and they feel collectively rejected because he has chosen to be with a non-white woman.
I am a black woman myself, and I have no problem with interracial dating, my dad is black and my mother is white, so I myself am a product of a still ongoing interracial marriage. However I feel that a lot of black people, ESPECIALLY black women are ostracized for dating outside their race and accused of being self-hating if they don’t choose a spouse of the same color. Granted some black people DO suffer from self-hatred, but it’s wrong to assume any black person who dates outside their race does so.

With the middle-Eastern men that frown upon your marriage, well I think it’s the same problem there. They think all arab women ‘belong’ to them and should only date other middle-eastern men. They probably also feel rejected, because they think that you must have some kind of problem with middle-Eastern men for choosing to be with a black man.

Don’t take it too hard. It’s your life. Let people think whatever you want. You can’t and should not live your life to please others.
