I have a Dell laptop with128 mb ram and 6 gb hd, Pentium 2 running Windows ME. Do I have enough to upgrade to Windows XP or do I need to upgrade my HD and memory as of now I have 82% free space? |
| Question found in Operating Systems |

|
You have enough hard drive space but I would upgrade the memory to the box's maximum configuration. Windows is a memory hog! Be aware that many hardware drivers within 98/ME are not compatible with Win XP. Win XP is built on the NT/2000 core. If you have available the NT or higher drivers for your modem, lan cards, sound cards etc get those on a separate disk or directory to have available during the install. If you don't, I suggest you visit the manufacturer web sites and download them to CD. If you are inclined to completely wipe/format the root drive, you should have less issues in compatibility. |

Is the Epson R240 a normal computer printer? |
| Question found in Software |
|
| I don't know how you would define "normal" but there is an output of 19 pages per minute (ppm) in black (text) and 18 ppm in colour. The printer IS designed more for home photo printing but does have standard page sizes and text output. In my definition it would be a "normal" computer printer. There are some specialized printers specifically built for high resolution photo-only output but I would not classify this as one of those. |

Roofbox or trailer what is best? |
| Question found in Automobiles In General |
|
|
I think this really depends on the amount of cargo. A roof box would probably be best overall. The new aerodynamic ones would not affect the mileage too horribly and would not be an issue in backing up, blind spots and bounciness. The roof box issue would be parking in low overhead areas. *Advantages to roof box: +No hooking or unhooking of trailer +No excessive drag +Handy access *Advantages to trailer: +Carry more stuff +You can leave all of your stuff in a secure place simply by unhooking |

I have seen a few websites giving photos from movies. How do they get it? do they take photographs from films or do they go to the location to take photo or any other method? Which is the most common and easy thing? Can these photos can have a copyright? |
| Question found in Internet In General |
|
|
Number one, just about any photo can have a copyright. Check out the specific laws at your country's copy write offices. In many cases the copyright material doesn't even have to be registered with a government body. The owner/creator automatically holds the copyright. Two, most film companies do what is called a "Promotional Still". These are usually taken on set during a break in shooting or directly off of a single frame of the motion picture itself. The easiest is the on set, on break shot. You can also capture a still from a computer-played movie but it is difficult if not near impossible to get a clear, professional quality shot. |

Is it fair to say that the Catholic religion is the "oldest christian religion"? |
| Question found in Religion & Spirituality In General |
|
|
As far as records go [conveniently kept by the Catholic church :)] it is the oldest established Christian church. However much of the Christian bible can be tracked back to the "Christian movement" and the gospel of "Q". The gospel of Q is basically the pre-bible text circulated amongst those in the movement (Research this on your own - check out "The Gospel of Q". Q is short for Quelle which translates to "source" and some scholars believe that at least the Gospels of Mark and Luke came from this source. Is a religious movement a religion or does there have to be an establishment of defined hierarchy to have a religion. Yours to define.... |

Is it possible to track a car via the Sat Nav .. ? |
| Question found in Electronics and Gadgets In General |
|
| Yes and there are a number of services in the US that you can contract with. They are typically used in the trucking industry but have also opened up to allow for individual tracking. The main marketing push behind the individual tracking is "knowing where your teenagers are". You can even go online and see graphically on a map where your car/transponder is. |

How do I get mp3's onto my mobile phone? |
| Question found in Electronics and Gadgets In General |
|
|
This really depends on the model of phone you have. Some phones have a connector cable that links right to the computer. With this you can back up your address book, send files and even use the phone as a PC modem. Others have infrared ports for one phone to send files to another. Most phones I have run across, require that you use the phone itself to download ring tones and music directly from the service. This usually costs anywhere from 99 cents to 6 dollars depending on service and file type. If you have multimedia messaging, someone you know might be able to send you the MP3 you want via that service. Many message services have restrictions on size and file types. Either they prohibit the transfer or charge for it. The easier step other than reading the manual, is to call the tech support line for your phone service and they can probably assist you. |

Can someone please explain why, in a lot of lesbian relationships, one or both of the women try to make themselves look as masculine as possible? If being a lesbian means you are attracted to other women, why then would you be attracted to a woman who tries to make herself look like a man? It doesn't seem to make any sense. |
| Question found in Gay, Lesbian & Bisexual |
|
| There really is no logic involved. It comes down to personal preferences. Just like some straight men like "Tom-Boy" wives, others like "ladies" and some gay guys like effeminate males and some like "butch", it is merely what one is attracted to. Regardless of the "equipment" involved, one is attracted to the personality first. |
