  • cmd opens up at login, is this virus? printscreen?

    Hi guys, when i log in 4 cmd's appear(shown in link).

    Notice the file: C:Users\Oscar\AppData\Roaming\WinDir\svchost22exe.exe

    I do not know if this is a virus, but i cannot find the WinDir folder. Ive enabled hidden folders and it simply isn't there, so i cant locate the file to remove it. I dont know why the other cmd windows are open either. The windows close after about 6 seconds.

    Im unsure of the effect this virus could have on my laptop, but the same day the battery and charging started behaving strange, a possible link?

    Also there is no sign of any unusual activity in the task manager.

    im using windows vista

  • A problem with teleportation?

    Assuming teleporting humans was practically possible, the person would not be teleported as a whole, but destroyed in one place and recreated in another. Now assuming that all went to plan i fear there would be a problem, if a person was destroyed, surely the memories and information their brain has would be destroyed, surely they cannot be recreated? Can they?

    apologies if i've missed anything important, i never had much talent for the sciences, thanks for your time

  • Can humans create knowledge?

    Someone told me before that the universe holds all potential knowledge, and we discover it, but what about the knowledge that we create?

    Lets look at martial arts, at some point somebody created a martial art, now while that person is part of the universe, the individual created the art, did he therefore create knowledge?

  • Poll...i guess? Do you prefer to ask questions or answer them?

    I don't mean just on Yahoo but in your everyday life.

    i seem to ask questions, then randomly a few days later an answer pops into my head, i guess i could get it quicker if i communicated more

  • When is it right to argue?

    In most arguments it is best to either say nothing or agree with the other person to save on confrontation and anger, but when is it right to argue for an opinion/fact you hold?

    I am looking for general situations, not specific examples(although feel free to write about them if you want)

    is it worth arguing to help a friend/family member, because you believe you have a better opinion, or should you argue about everything you have an opinion about?

  • Could you offer some advice please?

    I should start by saying that martial arts aremy true passion and i spend much of my time studying an praticing. However i have a problem whih i need some help with. I have these sort of fantasies about uding my martial arts training, they often vary but seem to be something like ''i am confronted by a gang of thugs and i quickly use my skills to 'remove them' leaving me untouched''

    i have 2 issues with this:

    1 - the skills i use are far superior to my own and if i were to find myself in a simiar situation i would have no chance, making these fantasies useless

    2 - i am trying to become a very non violent person, i feel these fantasies would encourage violence in real situations, although i haven't one so yet

    so my question is are there any techniques i can practice to stop these fantasies, perhaps a mediation technique of somekind?

    all answers appreciated, thanks

  • Ladies, opinions on this?

    A man rejects attempts to be funny and humours, instead he is deeply kind, friendly and compassionate. he is fairly laid back, laughs at others jokes, but doesn't make any himself, he just wants to be kind.

    would you give this person a chance for a relationship...hes 17 btw

    thankyou
