I've got an Acer Aspire notebook with a standard pentium processor, Intel HD graphics card, 4gb of RAM, a 500gb hard drive, etc. I play games like Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, etc. Minecraft tends to be really laggy. I'm trying to find an economic graphics card that will really upgrade my computer's abilities (ie. play Minecraft with max settings). What card or general type of card should I get?

I have an Acer Aspire 5733Z-4851 laptop and a netgear router. Usually I can connect it to the router with an ethernet cable, but it has never connected wirelessly, although it has a wireless card built in. For some reason, now when I connect it (wired) it won't connect to the Internet. I keep getting a notification from Windows saying that it can't connect to the internet (it'll say this when I attempt wired and wireless connections, I simply don't know what to do at this point). Please help!

I recently received an Acer Aspire 5733z-4851 laptop for Christmas. It has 4gb of RAM already, and it has two RAM slots inside. Also, it's running Windows 7 64-bit. The maximum amount of RAM it can handle is 8gb (using two 4gb sticks of RAM). It sometimes gets laggy when I run programs like Minecraft or Autodesk Inventor, but Gamebooster tends to help. Granted that I buy a laptop cooling pad and keep it properly elevated, will my computer significantly speed up, and will it be able to handle the extra 4gb of RAM?

I need to create a visual model or drawing for the verb "confound" as part of an assignment. I need simple ideas fast!

I have an old German K98 Mauser bayonet that I got last year. It doesn't have much rust and has a working button and matching metal sheath with cloth belt loop. At the base of the blade, it has markings of: "42 cvl", and on the other side: "5877". The base of the metal sheath has markings of: 8334, and on the other side: "F.W. Holler 1938". I need to know if this is worth much? One more thing, it has a blade length of 372mm and an overall length of 572mm. Please identify and/or tell me the value of this bayonet.

I'm 14, and for years, I've been fascinated with how things work. I've had some electronic experience (soldering skills, tinkering, circuit bending, playing with an Arduino, etc). But recently, I've really been interested in Ham radio. So I did some research, but I was slightly overwhelmed with the details, I couldn't find a website to fully explain and help me get started. How should I get started? Could you explain the basics? Is there an economical method to get started? And can you give me some good websites for a reference in getting started?

I have a Dell Mini 9 netbook with 1GB of RAM and an Intel Atom processor. I recently tried playing Minecraft Classic and it ran fairly well. If I bought Minecraft beta, would it run fast, or would it be laggy? If I upgraded my netbook to 2GB of RAM, would it run fast?

I'm considering buying Minecraft, but I don't exactly know everything about the beta. If I buy beta version, will I still get updates and ability to add mods? Will it have survival mode, or will I be able to download survival mode if not readily available?

I'm a 14 year old guy. I recently met an aunt of mine for the first time, she came down from Connecticut to visit (I live in South Carolina). Mid-conversation she mentioned a girl that she knew very well who was single, and had a Facebook. This girl is drop dead gorgeous and from what I was told, was very smart (which is perfect for me). By the way, this girl also lives in CT. So I looked her up on Facebook, and sent a friend request, she accepted it. I kinda would like to date this chick, but I don't know where to start. Oh, and I must mention that she is 15-16 (class of '13) and I am part of the class of 2015. Where the hell do I start? How do I approach this girl on Facebook?

I have a red maple sprout that's about 2.5 to 3 inches tall. It's in a rather small pot at the moment and I want to transplant it into a bigger pot to allow growth. How do I do this without killing or harming the tree?

Well I'm a 13 year old guy who has been raised in a Christian family. I used to consider my self a saved Christian along with my mother and my little brother. My mother can sometimes be narrow minded about many issues, though she is a smart women. She prays everyday, reads her bible, sometimes makes unnecessary judgements, etc. The bottom line is that she is a devout Christian (southern Baptist). I am considered to be a good, respectful, intelligent, creative, fun, funny person. I thought that I was a saved Christian, but I began to question Christianity for several monthes and have came to the result of agnosticism/atheism (for a VARIETY of reasons). And no, this is not out of rebellion or for any shock value, I still love and respect my family and friends with all of my heart. One of the challenges of this question is the fact that my mother has a very negative view of atheism, considering that she has had terrible experiences with people who were atheists. The second problem is that lately, she hasn't considered my "saving" to be legitimate and she has been indirectly pressuring me to be "born-again" via pressuring invitational periods in church sermons. But lately I have been silently backing off of these sort of things. And the fact that I haven't "validate" my "saving" has been emotionally wearing her down. This in turn has been hurting me emotionally to see her in pain like this. So it's getting to a breaking point, each church service is increasing this painful pressure, I need to do something NOW! The problem is that I'm scared of how she'll react if I confess my non-belief, but if I don't confess, then this pressure will increase and worsen. Please help me, if I tell her, then she will probably arrange for the preacher the confront me in an intimidating manner (which wouldn't turn out too well). So if I do need to tell her, then HOW do I need to approach and tell her my non-belief? If I shouldn't tell her, then WHAT should I DO?

I'm 13, in the 8th grade, and I live in SC. Most people consider me to be highly intelligent (no arrogance intended), I'm in the Jr Beta Club, Algebra 1, English 1, and basically every honors class. I'm also in Art Ideals and I took the PSATs recently. My GPA is usually over 3.5 (quickly improving) and I'm considering going to the Governer's School for the Arts and Humanities for my junior and senior years in highschool. NYU is my dream school....period. I was wondering if I'm on the right track to getting accepted into NYU for courses in Arts design etc. Or if I could possibly get a partial/full scholarship to NYU? Also, could you give some tips to further my odds? One more thing, could you give me an insight on what NYU is like (if you attended, of course) because I here that it's amazing. I also plan on residing at NYU. Also, It'd be great if you could give me some pointers on thing to improve my chances. I also do community work, which seems to be a plus.

I have this Old German bayonet that I found last year. After a little research, I found that it was used to be equipped with a German K98 Mauser during WWII. It's a little dull and rusty, so I need to know how to see if it's authentic or not. Any tips on how to or any useful info on this piece would be greatly helpful.

I'm 13 and I've been looking for "under the table" jobs recently. So I found this small fast food joint at my local Jockey Lot (AKA Flea Market) that will hire teens about my age. A couple of weeks ago, my mom mentioned my job interest to them and gave them my number. So tomorrow I'm going to the Jockey Lot to ask for any job positions, can you please give some tips on how to score a job with them? I really want this, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
