Why do I get strange characters in some emails that look like alchemy symbols?

In ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) there are some very strange symbols that I do not know the meaning of and it would be that someone just felt like holding down the alt key and typing random numbers. Or it could be that there was some kind of error when the message was sent or recived that caused the symbols or it could be an error on the sender's machine that caused an unknown symbol to be typed resulting in your email viewer trying to display it the best it could.

If buffered video is not saved in internet temporary file how should you save the video?

Im not sure, im in the same situation as you, you can download a program that rips flash media from sites

http://www.orbitdownloader.com

I use it and its vrey handy, you can watch an online video and when its finished buffering, you can click save, and because its already buffed it will instantly be saved as a file. Note depending on what the online player uses, it will most likely be, flash/FLV format, but there are plenty or converters/codec out there.

Do you agree that good writers can sit down at a computer and turn out perfect documents on the first try why or why not?

No, because even the best person may make some mistake. Authors type a draft and then send it to the editing process for review and correction, that's why it takes so long to write a book and then have it published.

How do the components of a computer other than the CPU affect the speed at which you can access the internet?

Actually, most components, including the CPU, have little effect on webpage loading. For example, if you underclock a Phenom II CPU to 450 MHz (from 2800 MHz) webpages still load at the same speed!

This is because webpage loading is a relatively quick process. Most webpages are 1 MB or less in size. The slowest component on your computer is the hard drive, which is where webpages download onto before displaying. (Some browsers may load into memory first, such as Chrome, Opera, and Safari, which is much faster) The harddrive is typically able to load data at 50 MB/s or as much as 120 MB/s. Meaning it takes less than 1/50th of a second to load the webpage off the slowest part of your computer!

Most modern computers' memory is even faster, averaging 8,000 MB/s to as much as 17,800 MB/s!

The real bottleneck, and the deciding factor in how fast a webpage loads is, in fact, your internet connection. Any computer on a slow internet connection will still load webpages slowly. As a general rule, Dial-up, Satellite, Wireless, Cellular, and ISDN connections are very slow. While Cable and DSL are standard speed, and FiOS, T1, T3, OC1, OC3, and other fiber lines are very, very fast. Internal networks such as LANs are also fast, averaging 100mbit/s to 1000mbit/s.

The CPU does, however, become involved if the website contains elements such as Java and Flash. These are performed client-side on your computer, whereas almost all other contents are done server-side by the website itself, rather than your computer. But even then, a 2.0 GHz Pentium4 or faster should be more than enough to load it at faster-than-human-blink speed. It's pretty much always your internet connection you'll be waiting on, and nothing else.

Games are totally different, however.

If your computer keeps crashing and making weird noises is it dying?

it is possible, I would have to hear the noise or read a really good description of it to know for sure.

there are 2 main things that make noise in a computer when they die, the hard drive or a fan, and both can cause crashing

Here is a tip to figure out which is which.

Open the case. Start up the computer. wait for it to make this noise. then VERY CAREFULLY stop one of the fans with your fingers (the fan will not hurt you but BE CAREFUL not to touch ANYTHING else in the computer or you may get a nasty shock). Do this to all fans in turn, start with the CPU fan (the one on the motherboard) as this one is the most likely culprit for crashing. If the noise does not stop when stopping any of the fans, there is still one fan left that is hard to reach. The power supply fan (DO NOT attempt to stop this fan, the power supply can kill you) put your ear close to the power supply, then close to the hard drive, figure out which one is louder and you have your answer. Replace the fan that makes the noise, or if it is the hard drive I'd recommend taking it to a repair shop so they can back up all your data

How does computer cause unemployment?

New developments in technology (specifically computers) replace tasks once done by humans. However, they are constantly creating new ones every day.

For what was once done by explorers and expeditioners, is now done via satelite.

In turn; engineers, scientists, astronomers, mathematicians, etc. have found employment through these break throughs.

in a nutshell, a single computer can routinely perform the tasks of numerous human minds, and generally with much higher efficiency.
