  • Can I use my Monitor and HDTV for separate screens from my PC?

    My PC tower only has one VGA output, can I get a splitter of some kind to send it from the tower's VGA to the monitors VGA and my TV's HDMI? I know VGA splitters only duplicate the image, that's why I want to know about HDMI. Can I see two different things on the TV and PC monitor with a certain type of setup?

  • Integer over a Fraction?

    Recently saw a math problem asking

    If a = 5/2 then 1⁄a =

    with the multiple choices being

    A. 2

    B. 5

    C. 2/5

    D. 5/2

    My reasoning was to first figure 5/2 to be 2.5 so a=2.5 and then putting 1/2.5 which would equal back to 5/2. Can't possibly be right. Please explain the proper procedure in figuring an integer over a fraction by using the above problem as an example.

  • Why has my frames per second dropped to a constant 10-30 when in game?

    Whenever I play Half-Life 2: Deathmatch through Steam, I only ever get 10-30 frames. I used to get 150+ all the time. Could this be caused by an infection? Will cleaning out my tower possibly help if the heatsink is covered in dust? Will I have to reformat?

  • Windows Media Player, Firefox and all around PC issues?

    Every time I open Windows Media Player it freezes and goes to "Not Responding" If I try to open something after I have Mozilla Firefox open, Firefox goes to "Not Responding." I had 2.5 GB free space on my hard drive like 3 days ago and all of a sudden tonight I had 356 MB free. So I moved 3GB of stuff to my external hard drive and restarted my PC. After restarting, instead of having 3.3 GB free, I only have 1.92 GB free. What the **** took up that other space just in the time I restarted my PC? And why does everything keep going into Not Responding still? I know I have that myzor worm thing because I get those fake internet pages saying my PC is infected and they try to trick me into buying fake anti-virus programs. I'm not sure what other details I can give. Does anybody have any idea what the problem is? Or at least some possible solutions? I hope I don't have to reformat. I'm going to post this now before Firefox decides to Not Respond.

  • Can you give me wise advice on what I should attend college for?

    I'm a 19 year old male from Cleveland, OH, USA. Doubt that will matter, but I'm trying to give insight in to my life for the best answer possible. My highest grade completed is 8th grade. I was in 9th grade three times. I failed the first two times because I never attended school and finally dropped out the third year because I did not want to complete high school at the age of 20. I have my GED (General Education Development). I want to get enrolled in college asap.

    So, my biggest passion in life is, simply put, The Universe. I would love to become an Astronomer or an Astrophysicist. The biggest problem with this is that I don't meet any prerequisites for taking a course in Physics which is where I would like to start. Like I said, I dropped out in 9th grade; so I never got to take any advanced classes in Math or Science. Throughout my entire school years I excelled in Math and Science. Getting older and having been out of school for so long I feel I cannot do math at all anymore. I have to think for seconds at a time when asked simple addition problems, etc. I feel it would take a long time to get back where I was when I was younger. I've smoked a lot of marijuana, partly a reason I never attended school, but I also believe it has destroyed my memory, which is why I think it will take me a long time to get back to where I was. I want to do something very hands on and pertaining to the Universe. I want to make amazing discoveries and breakthroughs. I want my name in history as a great scientist. I will not leave this world behind just to be forgotten shortly after.

    What course should I start with to lead me on the path of becoming an Astronomer or an Astrophysicist? Will I even be able to accomplish this despite my lack of schooling? Since I really want to do something hands on, is Astronomy/Astrophysics the right area to be looking? I've read that "employment in the field is quite varied, with most astronomers working in the academic community," on Astronomy. If I do go through with either of those options, what courses should I start off with? Remember, I don't meet any prerequisites for taking Physics. What basic courses should I take to be able to take Physics, if Physics is my best bet.

    The other thing I'm looking at is anything in the computer field. IT, Graphic Design, Web Development, Programming, etc. The reason this is my second choice is becausing computers are my second passion. I'm extremely quick with them and learn new things with them even quicker. I have an interview tomorrow to do graphic design for a guy (we'll call him Bob). Supposedly none of his employees started off at less than $30/hr, he offers housing with no rent and each employee receives their own laptop. Sounds entirely too good to be true. I've been doing graphic design (or at least toying with it) since I was about 12 when I received my first pirated version of Adobe Photoshop 7.0. Bob needs someone to do coupon magazines for him. I've never made anything that's actually been printed or anything. I've made basic websites for me, friends and I did one real job for someone on GetAFreelancer.com which was a web template. Everyone I know says I'm talented with graphic design, but I don't think so. I don't think I have the creativeness that's necessary for any kind of art. So, what Bob is explaining to me sounds simple enough and it sounds like I would be working with a team of graphic designers to do the whole magazine layout and everything. I'm worried because I really don't know what this is like and I heard before I talked to him that he offered training which really had me interested in the job, but now it seems as if he's expecting me to already be well rounded with this exact graphic work. This job interview is scaring me further away from going to college to become a graphic designer. I would really rather not end up doing Programming. I know it pays well which had me interested at a young age, but now it seems entirely too tedious for nothing except money. So IT is my next choice, but I'm terrible with hardware and don't see myself doing that.

    I want my name in history and I want a better understanding of where I came from, how and why, but a career in the Science field looks grim because I simply don't think I'm smart enough or have enough education. That leaves me with something in the computer field which is good money and a very demanding line of work which is easy to get in to college for. Please do not give me a 50 word response on this. I'm looking for some serious, detailed and wise help here. Thanks in advance.

  • When I try to sleep at night my heart rate sky rockets.?

    For the past month now, every night I lay down to go to sleep my heart starts racing like crazy. I feel like I'm not going to wake up if I fall asleep. It's starting to get really bad. Usually I'll just ignore it, relax and fall asleep, but last night I was having a dream that I was being choked and I woke up gasping for air. I think the dream was my bodies way of saying "Wake up! You're not breathing!" I am a smoker and I smoke about a pack a day. I've been smoking for 7 years now. I also drink lots of Dairymen's Iced Tea and Mountain Dew. I know Mt. Dew has lots of caffeine, but I've been told that the Iced Tea does too which could be causing my heart rate to sky rocket. I do NOT drink energy drinks. I completely stopped drinking Mt. Dew and cut back tremendously on the Iced Tea for a few days and replaced it with good ol' water. After cutting back on the Iced Tea the first day I felt fine when I tried sleeping. That was a few days ago, but last night was entirely too scary to just let this go any longer. Please don't tell me to visit a doctor. That's the obvious thing to do. I just want to know if anyone out there can help me figure out the cause. My heart isn't racing right now and it doesn't during the day while I'm awake. As soon as I stand up and get ready to lay down is when it begins. It's very odd. Does anyone know possible causes of this?

  • Weird pain in my spine and lungs?

    My girlfriend, her Mom, Dad and I went grocery shopping at about 7pm Friday (its 2:15am Saturday now) When we got back I carried about 10-15 bags of groceries in with one hand. Upon setting the groceries down I felt a pain in the upper part of my spine and thought nothing of it. My girlfriend and I went in her room and laid down to watch a movie, I kept feeling the pain a little bit with certain movements I would make so I took 800mg of Ibuprofen. After-wards we went downstairs to eat dinner and I felt the pain throughout dinner. We went back upstairs and finished our movie. I went to go put another movie in and started getting the pains really bad so I decided to lay face down on the floor and try to keep my spine straight, it didn't help much. I also got a pain in my lungs twice (I'm not sure if the incidents are related and I'm a smoker of 7 years - marijuana and cigarettes) Anyways, the pain in my spine occurs with certain arm and neck movements (mainly when I look down like I'm reading a book) and it extends from the base of my neck to the bottom of my shoulder blades, not any lower at all. The pain in my lungs was a sharp pain, a pain I've felt before because of inflammation of my lungs, the weird thing is I can take deep breathes and there's no lung pain or feeling what-so-ever. When I did get the lung pain it was accompanied by the spine pain. I just took 600mg of Ibuprofen and some Tylenol via my girlfriend's Mom's recommendation. I also had my girlfriend apply Mineral Ice (Icey Hot) to the area on my spine that hurts. Should I go to the hospital asap or would tomorrow be okay? If I do wait until tomorrow and the pain is gone, should I go anyways? Could this be pain from straining a muscle (I highly doubt it's a muscle, it definitely feels like the bone is aching) or pulling something in my back? Please, no hypocondriacts. I don't need any more worry. I want serious, professional suggestions and opinions please. Thank you.

  • Question about a War movie?

    I saw this movie a few years ago and I really liked it. It's mainly about two snipers. One's German and one's British. (I think) A little boy does intel for the one sniper and ends up getting hanged by the opposing sniper. That's all I really remember. It might be "Behind Enemy Lines," but I'm not sure.

  • Need song name and artist?

    I only know a few of the lyrics and they are:

    "Why-e-i-e-i-e yeeaaaa" is the main chorus part

    And this next part isn't exact, but it's close:

    "Doesn't anyone know?" or "Doesn't anyone care?" or "Doesn't anybody know anymore?"

    I think the songs called "Subway" or something like that.
