If by transformation pack you mean changing the look (GUI) of XP to Vista, I think would work out fine depending on the software you use and the ability of your hardware to change it. If your computer has RAM under 1 GB and/or a low-memory integrated graphics card, I would suggest doing the above as I have tried it several times and failed miserably.If you mean using the Vista Upgrade Edition or the upgrade option in Windows Vista installation, I would definately advice against it and recommed that you install a fresh copy of Vista.

Apple Ipod Vs. Microsft Mp3 Player
longtimeago replied to brandon10092's topic in Science and Technology
hello! i stand for Apple Ipod , i got a 30 GB apple video ipod and i dont find any disadvantages in that including security , moreover the accessories available for the Ipod is really cool. -
I know what you mean it's great having a ipod only because i can listen to it on long drives in my car. The absolute best thing is that they are not like cds only because they NEVER scratch!!! i think that's the best part. now i'm investing into getting a bigger gig ipod because i only have the 1st generation nano and there is so many songs i have that they can't fit into the ipod. My nano is just best for running because they are not that heavy as others.

Hello,The NIC (network interface card) has a single unique MAC address.You have 256*256*256*256*256*256 possible unique MAC addresses, since 4 bits can contain the range 0-15 (16 possibilities) and there are 4+4=8 bits (16*16=256 possibilities) per "octet" (XX).This is wildly different from the number of legal MAC addresses that can be assigned to NICs, incidentally, since many more than half of these theoretical addresses are reserved.

Give him the feeling that you feel comfortable with him. (You can even say to him that you feel comfortable with him.)Make sure you look pretty and be talkative, you can ask him for example 'how his day was', that's always a good beginning for a nice conversation. However do stay yourself, 'cause that's why the boy's fallen in love with you, not;)Good luck!(I remember my first date, I was nervous as hell! Didn't know what to do either, but everything went just spontaneous, and that's the best. It will work out well, just trust in yoursellf

Blu-ray News and considerations about this new technology
longtimeago replied to blackrabit's topic in Science and Technology
Blue-Ray discs require a blue laser to get the info....A red laser beam is too large to read the pits and convert them into usable data...Blue lasers have tighter, smaller beams and wavelengths so that's also why they can pack more data onto the same sized disc....Now the older DVD that use the red laser, their pits are large enough for the Blue-Ray laser to read them too....So a Blue Ray can read both, but an older DVD player can only do the older DVD because they use a Red laser in them. -

The Best Browser In Your Opinion for WIN32/64 systems
longtimeago replied to jacob's topic in Software
I use fire fox and some time IE ,Fire Fox is indeed safer, and it's open source so it means that anyone in the world can join in in improving it unlike internet explorer which is only worked on by Microsoft staff.it must be good, because the latest versions of internet explorer have stolen many standard Firefox features, namely tabbed browsing and other stuff which Firefox has had for ages.oh, and aside from not falling foul of spy ware and such Firefox also has themes and extensions so you can customize how it works and looks :Pyou could use both, but i see no reason to. on the many computer's that i fix i remove all references to internet explorer and install mozilla Firefox instead - most users don't tend to notice the difference but it means i won't see their pc again in a month or two compared to the ones with internet explorer on which get end up riddled with nasties from surfing the 'net. -

The Best Media Player Which is your best media player?
longtimeago replied to finaldesign's topic in Software
friends you can just say which media player is the best according to your needs,1. If you want to convert from Windows Media (*.wmv,*.wma,*.asf), you need Windows Media Player 9 or above to be installed.2. If you want to convert from QuickTime Media (*.mov,*.mp4,*.3gp,*.qt,*.dv), you need QuickTime Player 6 or above to be installed.3. If you want to convert from AVI Media (*.avi), you may need proper codecs to be installed.4. The program supports MPEG Media (*.mpg, *.mpeg) internally, you don't need to install any other components.Hope you know which is best for you -
Which is a better search engine?Google or Yahoo
longtimeago replied to jcreuter's topic in Search Engines
hi,Just because something is the most popular doesn't make it the best. Google is generally the choice of the inexperienced internet user because Google have been clever in their advertising and marketed a simple to use search engine. Yahoo on the other hand offers much more to the user and is generally used more by the professional and experienced user. I personally prefer Yahoo and have been using it for around 7 years, but I think that they need to advertise themselves more.On the other hand Google became popular for having reasonable results, but mainly for having the cleanest interface, one text box on a nice clean screen, so it loads quickly, you can find what you want easily, and you don't have to look at lots of graphical ads in the results. Yahoo and altavista, Google's main competition at the time, both have very graphics-heavy, over-loaded front pages in comparison. -
Online Education Tell me how you think of it
longtimeago replied to FunkySurd's topic in General Discussion
hi I have done online education. One of my three Master's degrees was completed online. Honestly, I believe the online Master's was harder than my other two.isemi-retired. While I never worked for a fortune 500 company, people I worked with five years ago didn't hold University of Phoenix in high regard.There may be companies that reimburse employees for University of Phoenix degrees, however, there are some that won't. Intel Corp. is one big company that will not reimburse employees for a business degree from University of Phoenix.Yes, I have a problem with the cost. Why pay University of Phoenix, Capella, or Kaplan or any other for-profit school tuition if you can get the same degree online from a state school for 1/2 the cost?Accreditation does matter. However, there are several different levels of accreditation. There is regional accreditation which is what the typical state schools and most of the for-profits have. There is also specialized programmatic accreditations that are over and above regional accreditation. Some examples of these are AACSB for business, ABET for Technology and Engineering, APA for psychology programs etc. For-profit, online schools usually won't have these types of accreditations. Many state schools will have these accreditations.Good luck, -
Yes.It's been proven and seems pretty clear that addiction to video games is an escapist addiction and indicates that the person doesn't want to deal with issues that are going on in their life.I think the usual behavior changes apply, sleeping disorders, anger, short temper, depression, manic episodes, social withdraw. eating disorders and etc.Depends on who you define addiction. I think many of us can handle a few hours a day devoted to games, TV, sports, hobbies, or etc.

Are Mobile Phones Dangerous? to the users health...
longtimeago replied to googlue's topic in Mobile Phones
Hi according to me the studies are inconclusive. Recently, it has been found that carrying mobile during thunder and lightning, the lightning can strike a person with a mobile more likely than the one without a mobile. There is also an inconclusive study by Germans that carrying mobiles closer to your private parts can affect the production of sperms and eggs. However, there are innumerable cases of misuse of mobile camera for filming innocent people, especially the girl friends or friends friend in compromising position or school girls made to perform with young boys and taken short video clips and sent to mms, etc. On the other hand it is very dangerous sometime .have u ever heard that doctors have said that if mobiles are on charger(charging) and u pick up the call of someone... then u can get the heart attack because while on charging it have the power of electricity and when we put near the ear it effects the veins of body, So be careful friends. -

What Is: Os What is Operating System?
longtimeago replied to Albus Dumbledore's topic in Operating Systems
friends, i will tell you what is OS in a simpler form.An operating system is one which acts as an interface between the user and the computer and it is the soul of the computer, we can call the operating system as a larger program too. what happens when you switch on the computer is that the operating system gets loaded into the main memory that is what is known as the booting of the computer. -
friends for me it is Gmail "The best" because i came to know all the fearutes available in it.I wold like you also to know the reason why i stand for Gmail, Gmail has a great spam blocker. I have never had junk mail come in to my inbox. Way better than hotmail and yahoo which get junk mail all the time. this includes protection from porno junk mail and other bad things kids shouldn't be seeing.Gmail also gives you 2GB of memory when you register. Hotmail and yahoo don't, well not immediately; you have to use the account for a while to get the same memory gmail gives you already. great for storing large school projects or other forms of media.Better organization. Instead of a lot of "re: subject" emails form the same person, gmail organizes it all into on message, and you can see the entire history within it, so no more searching through endless amounts of replies, it'll all be in one place. good for organization and time management. Hope you have the complete idea about Gmail now.
