  • USB 3.0, does my computer support it?

    I have an iMac, it's about two years old. If I buy a USB 3.0 device, will it automatically work with my computer? Or does the internal USB port/card card need to be updated/replaced?

  • is there a way to repair the data on a Digital8 Tape?

    I have some digital 8 tapes that have been in storage for some time. I just now tried to import them using final cut pro, however, they kind of skip - like a cd. i dont know if this is due to time, or some of the cold temperatures they have been exposed to, or being moved around (physical shock) so often, or a combination of all of that. is there a way to repair the tapes at all? or should I consider it all lost?

  • Can someone help me with html code?

    this is the site I am working on

    heritagechristiancenter.net/newweb/index.html

    I have a menu bar in there. RIGHT NOW I have the same menu bar posted on each web page. what I WANT to do is just put a link on each web page to one menu bar, like I would do with a css page.

    In theory, it sounds simple, enough, I just haven't thought of how to google it yet, and I thought I would as here.

    ALSO. I am working on this web site via an iMac. I glanced at the web site using a non-mac computer and the menu bar (among other things) didn't look right at all. Does it seem to be functioning correctly to you?

    thank you in andance for your help

  • what is a theist? (why does this HAVE to be 20 charatcers long? that's dumb!))?

    I just want to make sure that I am on the same page.

    If you have a religious belief then you are a theist, right? so there are theists, ahteists, and agnostics, right?

  • I dont understand re-entry friction?

    why is it that a parachute-person wont burn up in the atmosphere, but an astronaut falling form space into the planet will?

    A rocket will not burn up going OUT of the atmosphere, but it will when it comes back IN - why?

    we have supersonic military jets that don't burn up in the atmosphere, but a space shuttle experiences a great deal of reentry heat.

    why? I dint understand it at all.

    Any suggestions?

  • What are your thoughts on these lenses?

    I want to buy a good photography camera and lenses and I am a beginner.

    I want to buy the canon t1i. I thought about buying the camera in a kit that comes with a lens, but it looks like the retails value of the lens that comes with it is about $175. and from what i have heard, it is kind of a crappy lens and people generally upgrade quickly. I don't want to buy a crappy lens, no matter how inexpensive it is. I am wanting to spend around $1000 - $1200 for everything.

    SO I was thinking about just buying the body and then buying THIS lens:

    And this one too for low light situations:

    http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/canon_50_1p4_c...

    any thoughts? Is this a bad move, or possibly a good move. I want to check on prices on www.nextag.com to make sure I get the best deal on each product. Since I am a total beginner at all of this I want to make sure I am going to go in a right direction rather than making some major mistakes from the get go.

    Any advice that you can give me would be fantastic.

  • how do I find out if I am married?

    this is a weird question I know - but it is a real one.

    my wife and I split up, over two years ago. we know none of the same people, and there is a lot to go into.

    bottom line, she is not a us citizen, and has no social security number. I can get divorced, but I think she probably has gotten re-married already. I think she has a time table that she is trying to stick to.

    I want to get married to my girlfriend (she is aware of the situation) but how do I find out if I am married or not? I don't want to spend the time and money on something that may already be done.

    so... can anyone help me?

  • how do I copy my dvd's to my computer HDD?

    I want to take my dvd's and put them on my hard drive, so when I travel it makes it all that much more efficient just to have them there on my laptop.

    I am using "Mac The Ripper" (It's a mac laptop), and I am about to go on a trip. Two problems have arose

    1) the movie is chopped up ( it looks like by chapters) how do I get it all back to one full segment - a whole movie again?

    2) how do I re-compress it so it doesn't take up so much room on my HDD?

    thank you for your help.

  • does anyone know of a good torrent downloading site?

    I dont know how they work, is it just called a torrent site? I want to download movies. but I have a mac pro, but it has Parallels installed, but I would rather stick with mac-friendly sites.

    any ideas? I'm a computer smart person and design web pages writing straight html and css. so I am pretty frustrated that I am ignorant when it comes to torrents.
