What causes a computer to reboot continuously?
You have a problem with the OS. Try booting in Safe mode. If you don't know how to do that on your machine, try tapping the F10 or F12 buttons at startup. Possibly F8, too. Depends on the BIOS. If you have a recovery disk shove that in the drive. Also try unplugging it for a few minutes. If none of this works, switch to Linux.

What is the difference between an avi and an AVI file?
AVI, or Audio Video Interleave, is a format developed by Microsoft. MPEG is the common term of format standard created by the Moving Picture Experts Group.
AVI can be played in most Windows-based applications like Windows Media Player. MPEG works mainly with QuickTime, Apple-based applications and video discs, while MP4 is mostly used with many personal media players like iPod and PSP.
MP4 is actually MPEG-4, a subset of of the MPEG standard. What people generally refer to as MPEG is either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. By contrast, however, MPEG-3 is not MP3, which is included in MPEG-1.
MPEG-1 is used with video compact discs (VCDs) while the higher-quality MPEG-2 is used for DVDs.
MP4's biggest difference from the other MPEG formats is its ability to store subtitles, still images and other data along with digital video and audio.
Some personal devices may advertise as "MP4 players," using the term colloquially, but actually play AMV files.
Why do you use shell commands?
Once upon a time, all computers were controlled by typing instructions. There was no GUI 'Graphic User Interface' as on modern computers.

Provided the user knows the code to type, it is often faster using CLI than the mouse and GUI.

Purpose of the UAC box in Windows Vista?
UAC is the User Account Control. That is an added security measure to prevent certain manipulations to the system. That would include messing with the system root or the program files, adding or removing programs, installing drivers, installing ActiveX controls, adding or removing user accounts, configuring Windows Update, running programs with Administrator privileges, changing another users files, defragging the drive, etc. It is a way to temporarily grant Administrator privileges without having those privileges available all the time. That way, malware cannot do those things.

How can you convert a Windows file to a Mac file?
For the vast majority of files, there is no such thing as a "Mac file" or a "Windows file." Documents, pictures, and videos are all cross-platform.
For applications, there is no way to "convert" them to run on a different platform. You can use virtual machines, emulators, and ABI compatibility layers to run some Windows programs on a Mac. The only way to run Mac programs on Windows is to run a copy of Mac OS X in an emulator or virtual machine.

Why Mormons don't have windows in their temple?
Many temples do have windows in them, but they are draped. There are some temples that don't, but temples are a place of deep self reflection and reverence. They are a place where one can get away from worldly distractions and contemplate life and ones trials and challenges. It's a place to pray to God for family and friends, and work on ones spirituality.
If there were windows all over it would detract from those intentions and remind those within exactly what they are trying to get away from...

How do you change your font for your computer?
This will make all font on your computer larger except for the font that shows up in text on your browser (like what I'm typeing here, will stay the same size).
Go to your desktop and right click your mouse, a box will show up with the following options 'Arrange Icons By' 'Refresh' 'New' and 'Properties'.
Click on 'Properties' and a bigger box will pop up called 'Display Properties'. There will be 5 tabs along the top, 'Themes' 'Desktop' 'Screen Saver' 'Appearance' and 'Settings' Click on 'Appearance'.
You will see an example box which will show you what your changes look like and 3 drop down menus, to change your font go to the third one at the bottom where it says 'Font Size:' above it, click the arrow and the list will drop down. Pick which font you would like and then click apply, ok. (It will take a minute or two to load the change)
If you would like to change the font size in your web browser too, you just need to open up Internet Explorer (web browser) where there will be several tabs at the top, if you click on 'View' a box will drop down, within that list should be 'Text Size' If you hover over that, you will be able to pick the size you want.
Hope this helps. (:
