  • Why is "System" taking up 10% of my CPU even when i'm not doing anything?

    I just got new netbook about a week ago and everyone once in a while i see that it starts to get really choppy when watching videos so the first thing i do is open my task manager to see whats eating my CPU. Every time i notice that system is taking about 7-10 percent and ive never seen system this high before on any of my other computers. is there any way to decrease the use of cpu by the "system"

    Also sometimes i see Audiodog jump up there too which i find kind of weird cus i havent seen it jump up to 10 cpu before either. Thanks!

  • determine whether the sequence with the nth term converges or diverges?

    a(n)=cos(n+1)/√n. if it convergers find the limit.

    this was a quiz question and i said that it converges to 0 since the term cos(n+1) oscilates between 1 and -1, as n-> infinity, the limit of the sqequence goes to 0, but i guess thats the wrong answer, can someone tell me how to do this problem correctly?

  • Does Judaism believe that the Messiah is also the son of god?

    I know that in Christianity they do, obviously seen through Jesus, but i know that Islam also believes Jesus was the messiah, yet not the son of god and i heard that even in hindu they believe jesus is a messiah, but i'm not sure if in Judaism, they believe that the Messiah will be the "son of god" or just a messenger and an "anointed one" like the name actually means, such as in Islam.

    No bullshit answers please, such as saying Jesus will save all of us or something, i just want a straight answer, maybe with some historical context, thanks!

  • Do Jews and Christians believe in the same Angels?

    I'm curious to know, cus i never really thought about angels in judaism until right now. I was listening to the Song Metatron by The Mars Volta and when i looked it up i saw that metatron is an angel in judaism and some branches of christianity and islam.

    So would both Christians and Jews believe in Michael being the Archangel and so forth or is there some variation?

  • I'm having problems with my D-link DWA 556 wireless adapter, need help with drivers!?

    I bought a new DWA 556 wireless card the other day and at first i was having connectivity and lag issues. i did some research and heard that the drivers that the d-link website has and on the software disk it was is pretty much useless and found a site that provided this link http://station-drivers.com/page/atheros.htm and that my adapter uses AR5008 drivers.

    I downloaded the vista 64bit version of this and it did not seem to improve my internet at all, in fact if anything i think it made it worse, and then i read that the Vista drivers arent too reliable and that its better to use the XP drivers even if you are using vista. So i went to dowload the XP drivers and after extracting them and tryign to update my drivers using the XP ones, it said that the drivers could not be found so i dont know what to do... should i just return it and get another one or is there something else i can do? Thanks

  • Question/help about restringing electric guitar strings (Squire Guitar)?

    So i bought some new guitar strings today, Ernie Ball Extra Slinky's (i have a Squire guitar). I havent restrung an electric guitar before and thought i could figure it out myself so the first the thing i did was unscrewed the brackets at the bottom where the strings go in the wholes. i realized that wasnt how to do it so i thought i had to take the whole part out, which was a mistake. after realizing all i had to do was unscrew the back i screwed that whole metal part back in and put my strings in. i put the brackets back on too and continued to put my strings on and start tuning it. after all the strings were in i started to tune it, the E and A strings were fine but i noticed there was a lot of tension. i started to tune the D string, and before it finished getting to the right tuning, the string just snapped. i then started to tun the G string, and noticed it was getting super tight and then that one snapped too. i'm pissed so i went to tune the high e to see if that one could hold the tension. that one also snapped before i could get it in the right tune. Are these strings not think enough to hold the tension or did i maybe screw in the brackets too close or what?! i need help!

  • Can marijuana falsley change your perception of things?

    Hi, i used to smoke marijauna in highschool and as far as i remember, i used to have a great time when i did, but for the past couple years usually i don't have such a great time just because of some stuff i think of. I was wondering, if you think of something when you are high, that does not make it true right? cus sometimes when i smoke i feel kind of awkward around really good friends of mine and i start to think differently and stuff like that. In particular, there is this girl i'm really good friends with and we've kind of had a weird relationship for a while, and it would take a long time to explain it, but when i'm sober my feelings for her are usually pretty strong, but when i'm high my brain or thought process tells me i'm lying to myself whenever i think these thoughts, and it seems pretty convincing. so i was wondering, what this means i guess, could it just be the marijuana thats giving my false perceptions or what? thanks a lot

    And i know a lot of people are going to say they have a great time when they smoke and that it changes their perception positively, but i just want my question answered. thanks for the responses.

  • What do you think about this quote "Religion is the opiate for the masses"?

    This is one of the most famous quotes by Karl Marx. Personally i think it's very true, even look at the Sermon on the Mount, and the Beatitudes Jesus preached. Blessed are the meek, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the sick, blessed are the poor, the hungry, the mourners. These are the very same ideas that Kings, Rulers, Emperors, Tyrants, and Dictators used to tell (maybe still) their people, and guess what? it worked for them. People were more inclined to be content with their lives, even if they were terrible or being misused because they were told they would be rewarded in the afterlife. Oh, what a clever ploy this was. What do you guys think of this quote?
