My computers which were once fast are now agonizingly slow. I have tried pc max or other product which seems to have had no real benefit. How can I speed up my computer?

Are you well educated, hard working, competent, and professional: yet working as a waitress or performing manual labour tasks?

Do you feel that your skills are not being utilised?

Does that bother you?

What do you think are the root causes of your underemployment?

Are there any obvious solutions to the delemma you face?

If you could have any job, what would it be?

Is it related to your training?

I am really excited! I am about to head off for a European holiday with my son. We want to see the alps, experience some of the battlefields of world war 2, and maybe ski and snowboard. The problem is we are about to head off in about 2 days ( Like to be spontaneous) and I am not sure what is the best way to cross the channel. I like the idea of the ferry from Dover to Normandy, but am not sure if that is my best option. I am also not sure if we can just sort of turn up and buy a ticket when we arrive. I know that you can buy online, but like I say I like to be spontaneous and would prefer to purchase when we arrive. Any suggestions?

My friend has just travelled across the USA with her husband. She found that he would suddenly disappear for a half an hour at a time from various restaurants and public places, and then return with lame excuses. He kept organising for them to camp in red light districts and was once seen leaving a toilet block with a tarty looking 'lady' at 8 in the morning and she was still dressed up for a night out. What advice should I offer her?

One other bit of information he was fired from his office job for spending a lot of time in his office with the lights off and pornography on his computer.

My wife and I are discussing the amount of calories in a small pack of crisps. On the pack it says 129 kcal per pack. That seems an outrageous amount of claories per pack since our daily intake of calories should be about 2000 kcals. Surely one small pack of chips could not be about 1/20th of our calorific intake. What is the answer?

I have accidentally degassed my fridge while defrosting! I accidentally poked a hole in the freezer section. Is it possible to mend the hole and regass the fridge?

My son just told me that he thinks he has swine flu.

There must be thousands of new cases every day. How are you coping after you get the diagnosis? Are you worried or does it just feel ike a normal flu?

Imagine the headlines

Two thirds of people infected with the swine flu will die within 24 hours

The pandemic is unstoppable

More people are expected to die of the swine flu in the next year then All of the people who died in the 2nd world war

what would you do?

Where would you go?

At the moment here in Wales

people are not to concerned about the swine flu

yet

today 2 people died of it without any preconditions of ill health

is the swine flu likely to mutate into a more virulent form?

I was born in THe USA in 1959

I grew up with the Apollo missions

When I was about 10 I lived for the moon mission and really expected to be an astronaut

I think I was a product of my age

Have younger people also had that desire to be an astronaut or was it reallly heavily directed at my age group due to the Apollo missions?

I am talking with my son about this question is it because the hydrogen bonds are broken and the melting is an endothermic process

I really don't get it.

I am currently teaching english in Taiwan

I teach primary school in the morning and university students from 7 to 9 pm

What I don't get is why we have such a problem with discipline and motivation to learn in Australian schools (and i gather other western schools)

In my primary school classes

almost all of the students pay attention

lisen to the questions

and repeat sentences as a class

in unison and with effort.

At night

high school students will take a break in their 3 hours of nightly study

to cram in an extra 2 hours of english class

5 nights a week. (that's right , from about grade 6 they seem to spend more then 3 to 4 hours per night studying)

They pay for these classes

and many of the academic classes have theoretical questions I think the average 1st year university student would grapple with.

Why is behaviour and educational motivation such a problem in most western schools.

I just want to say, that I don't necessarily think that they have a great quality of life, becuase they do study so hard, but it is amazing observing the cross cultural response to education.

I do not remember there being so many hurricanes when I was a child. Is it a reality that there are in fact more hurricanes of stronger intensity or am I just more aware of their presence due to better news coverage.

Do you think that man would inadvertantly kill all life on earth, or do you think that mankind could have a huge impact on most lifeforms, yet some will survive?

This is analogous to the dinosaurs and other megafauna that have faced extinction in the past, yet not all life was destroyed.

Do you hate school

yet feel that it is vital to your future?

it is like

between a rock and a hard place

perhaps there are alternatives

what do you think they might be??

We live on a planet that has seen the evolution of life over the last 3.5 billion years

we are experiencing an exponetial growth phase in new technologies which are truely global

I believe that we are at a critical point in time where we will be able to help design and construct very large structures which are analogous to organs in animals

This includes

fiber optic cable networking with tens of millions of personal computers creating a global brain and soon consciousness

We already posses the technologies needed to mine fuels and minerals stored far underground

At present organs are being constructed to harness these energy sources to transform these basic building blocks into components that are utilised for the production of food and global transport etc.

Could this also lead to the creation of a global fetus analogue and the birth of a global organism which has a brand new suite of physical features that transcend those we attribute to the earth at present?

HI,

I have been living and working in the marine environment most of my life.I am a qualified secondary school teacher, but I do not teach. I am interested in creating a new and excting new concept in marine biology as a blog but am not sure how to do it. Are there any people who would like to help me?

I have a blogg that nobody has visited at http://captainkaoz.wordpress.com/

Is it ironic

that the world will get involved in waging a war

with an oil rich nation

over non existant

weapons of mass destruction

yet

will not even

push the red tape boundaries

to save the lives

of tens of thousnds

of innnocent people

dying of nourishment

in a cyclone devestaed country

because their maglamaniac Junta leader

told them

not to enter his country?

Why can't the United nations

see beyond the stupidity or greed of a military dictator

to deliver aid to these survivors

who are desperately in need of help?

As kids we hop and skip everywhere, at what point do we stop?

And why?
