I'm planning on applying to University of California for 2013-14. If I don't get in, I want to transfer to it from a community college. To do this, do I apply to USC and the community college at the same time?

Let's say I do that, and I get accepted to USC, eliminating the need to attend a community college to transfer to USC. At this point, do I need to do anything to my enrollment with the community college? (since it is open admission)

I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit onto my OEM Windows XP Home 32 bit desktop in a seperate partition in a second harddrive in the computer that Windows XP was not installed on. I got the .iso image for Windows 7, and i burn it onto a DVD+R disc and made it bootable with my laptop using PowerISO. I put the disc into my desktop's dvd rw drive, set the boot order so that it boots the dvd drive first, and then let it boot. After POSTing, the flashing underscore appears, and i could see that the dvd drive is trying to read the Windows 7 boot disk, but after a few hours, nothing happened. I then booted my desktop normally and tried to see if i could access the disc, and i could.

I take the dvd and try booting it in my laptop, but the same thing: Flashing underscore for hours. I boot my laptop normally and insert the dvd in to see if it can read, and it could.

Afterwards, i burned Windows 7 onto a DVD-RW disc, made it bootable, and tried to see if it would work this time. When i inserted the dvd into the desktop, i came to a conclusion that it can't read it since it left my computer frozen until i removed the dvd. I tried to boot with it, but i was left with the flashing underscore and sounds from the dvd drive that sounds like its doing something repeatably .

I take the dvd to my laptop. It could read it, but still could not boot from it. So, i need some help to identify the problem and how to install this on my desktop.

I bought a HD 4670 1GB several months ago, and its great when it doesnt a) VPU Recover b) Freeze, forcing manual shutdown. It has VPU Recovered occasionally, only when i play graphic intensive games (GTA IV) , though the frequency of it depends on the HD 4670's mood (Very random, very frusturating). Well recently, i started playing APB Reloaded (google it), runs pretty good, with the usual fps drops during close range fx. But this game in particular somehow causes more VPU Resets IN A DAY then the amount i get in a few months. Maybe it just doesnt like it, but anyway, i need help figuring out how to stop these VPU Recovers.

I have Windows XP 32-bit SP3

Antec Earthwatts 380w continuous power ( +12V = 17amp +12V2 = 15amp =12V = 0.8amp)

HIS ICEQ HD Radeon 4670 1GB GDDR3

Latest video drivers and CCC.

Now i know this is either a graphics card or power supply problem, i just dont know which one.

Is the video card faulty? Is the power supply not outputting enough on the 12V rails?

So i just got a new pair of Skullcandy In-ear earbuds, but this series of earbuds doesn't have the left and right stamped on the buds, so how do i figure it out?

Another thing that bothered me was that when i tried to test it by taking an audio editor, panning the left and right sound slider for a stereo song doesn't make a difference other than slightly decreased volume. Is this because both buds are stereo?

If i had lets say y=2Sin(1/x - pi/2) + 3

How would i go about finding the x intercepts? (Plugging in 0 for y)

I got a Radeon HD 4670 and it looks like i can plug in 2 6 pin pci-e power connectors into it. I have only 1 6 pin pci-e power connector, would it work if i just plug one in?

My LCD Monitor for my pc was working just fine, then suddenly the screen turned all black, but when i look closely, i could just barely see my desktop. I tried unpluging the power cables for the monitor but no good. When i press the menu button on the monitor, its just as dark as the desktop, so i know its not a problem with my computer (right?). Is there any way to fix it without buying a new one?

I have a Antec Earthwatts 380w continuous power supply, what video card would best suit it? Also, i have a AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400 @ 2.2ghz , what is the best it can handle without bottlenecking it?

I think i heard you only use about 10 percent or less of your brain voluntarily, what would happen if you can use more than 50 percent of your brain voluntarily?

So whats your worst experience in any medical facilities, like the dentists, hospital, etc?

Mine was when i was at the dentists. My 2 front teeth were not coming out ( i was like 8) and apparently the gum was too thick for the teeth to come out. So the dentist used some aniblahblah to numb my mouth and used a scalpel to cut some of the gum away. I didn't know what was going on back then but now i think about it i get squirmy :S

Someone make a short story of an average day in a human's life in a documentary style narrative like on the discovery channel!

Is it safe to install or store anything into the recovery partition? It has windows installed it it. I'm running out of space and there seems to be huge amounts of space in it.

My computer is connected as follows: Computer --> Router --> DSL Modem --> Modem

When i got the router, i vaguely remember the box saying that is has a firewall, so is the firewall built into the router and filters whatever goes through it, and is it actually doing anything?

I don't like looking people in the eyes or looking in their direction when somebodies talking to me, mainly with my parents, relatives, etc. I have no problem with talking to my friends since i can openly laugh to them. But when talking prolonged conversations with said people, i tend to look at something blankly, or do something else.

What is the order of math you learn starting form basic math to algebra and so on?

I have a wired optical mouse and it frequently:

Twitches to side of screen on its own

Becomes unresponsive for several seconds or until you shake it up

Moves on it's own very slowly and consistently when not even being used(rarely)

^^^^^ does all that mostly when having high rates and frequency of movement( like in a game...in if it twitches to the side of the screen while playing a fps the screen spins out crazily)

So i isolated my problem as the texture of the wooden desk that is causing this. I don't have any mouse pads, any house hold item i can use to substitute for one?And don't say paper, it don't work

lol @ title

Anyway, i have a crappy computer, gaming wise, and i want to build a new computer. Is it possible for me to just build that new computer, then take the Hard drive from the old one, and stick it in there(assuming that the hardware is compatible)? Because i don't want to buy a new Windows Xp when my old one already has one.

What are the issues and how do i make it work?

So me and my parents went out for a jog around a park. After i ran 2 laps i squat down on the sidewalk, then my dad said: Don't sit on the sidewalk, you'll make the gas pipes explode. I mean, sure that's possible in the RIGHT circumstances, but... you see what i mean?

The concrete/cement sidewalk and a bunch of dirt is over the

supposed pipes if they are there, and the pipes must be strong

enough, or else they wouldn't use it. Then they said, Don't they

teach you this in school? Yeah.... By the way, they're oriental

chinese. I just wanted to get this thought out.

I keep on hearing about tri-cores haveing 1 disabled core making it a dual core and stuff, so whats actually going on?

Will it all be compatible? Can it run GTA 4 max graphics good?

Thanks for taking the time.
