How can you connect a laptop to computer so it will show the laptop screen on your computer monitor?
Depending on your needs there are several programs which could be used for this. All of them require network connection. If you need to view the monitor of another computer on your lan (most of the time meaning within the same house) I would recommend VNC. All you have to do it install the server part on the computer you wish to watch remotely and then run the client on the computer you wish to watch from and enter the machine or IP address of the server machine.
If you want to view the screen of a computer outside of your lan (over the internet) I would recommend Teamviewer. Free to use for non-comercial use and also pretty easy to get started on. On the computer you wish to watch, press the "Join Remote Control Session" just below the green download button on the frontpage. Run the file once it's downloaded and write down the ID and password showing on the window popping up. On the pc you wish to watch from, you should go to the teamviewer page and press the green download button and run it once it's downloaded. Then simply choose "Run" when the setup asks you what you want to do. Then enter the ID and password you got from the other computer and press "Connect to partner" )

Who wrote the first operating system windows?
It is safe to say that there was no one person who invented the first operating system.
Initially operating systems were just automatic program loaders that provided minimal support functions. Back in the late 50's and early 60's the concept of patenting software had not been dreamed of - so everyone who was building computers was figuring out similar ways of creating support environments for their programs.
I first used something called the X-program loader on a Burroughs Datatron 220 computer but there were similar control programs being developed for IBM, UNIVAC, GE, HONEYWELL, and the others. These were a major improvement over having to enter a boot strap routine using BCD data switches on the console.
By the mid 60's operating systems had become very sophisticated and the concept of a single button bootstrap loader was universal. This is hard to say precisely. The earliest ancestors of operating systems were developed in the early 1950s and were called "batch monitors". They were programs designed (often by the computer operators themselves) as labor saving devices. Without a batch monitor the operator had to load and run each program one at a time manually, resulting in lots of operator work and lots of wasted idle computer time while the operator did that work. With a batch monitor the operator could combine several programs (in a large deck of cards or on a magnetic tape) and have the batch monitor automatically load and run each in sequence one after another without further operator attention until the entire batch completed. When needed by a given program the batch monitor could tell the operator to remove or mount data tapes, etc. This resulted in much reduced operator workloads and highly efficient use of the computer time.
Probably the first thing that could be considered an actual operating system was an improvement on the batch monitor that implemented a limited form of multitasking, so that when the computer CPU was otherwise idle during input/output operations for the current program, it could switch to running a different program until it also went idle during input/output operations. This improved the efficient use of the computer time too. But these still were not interactive operating systems, they only ran batches of jobs loaded by the operator.
Timesharing operating systems were the first that permitted interactive operation with the user. These were largely planned as "computing utilities" that users would pay for by the minute of use (like you did on telephone calls) and connect to remotely using a terminal and telephone MODEM.
Exactly who developed the "first" of each is not always easy to determine as many took the earlier works of others and improved and expanded on them for their site and then passed their work onto others who made further changes and improvements. Also there is the issue of exactly where you want to place the boundary in this history between operating systems and something that you don't consider an actual operating system.
How do you restart your whole computer?
If you'd like to erase the contents of your hard drive there are a few options on doing so. One option is to format your primary hard drive which contains your operating system. By formatting your disk you are removing everything on your hard drive and it will not be recovered.
Another option is to insert your Windows installation disk or a recovery CD-ROM (such as WindowsPE). This will give you the option to reset your PC.

How can you get your admin password back with out downloading or disks?
Unfortunately you'll have to get your hands on a Linux distro and install it to a memory stick seeing as you don't like disks (me neither actually).
From there, you'll have to install a program called chntpw.
-The easiest way to do both of these things is to get a hold of the Backtrack 4 beta (http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.HTML). There is a newer 'pre-final' but that's more difficult to install. Their forums and a little googling will tell you how to install it and use chntpw.
Other than that, there's not much else you can do (besides giving it to someone else to fix)

How do you get the o with an accent on a keyboard?
The letter 'o' with an accent mark is a special character and you won't find it on a standard keyboard.
A solution is to use Character Map feature of Windows to insert the character you need.
Go to Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map.
search for the character you need to insert, copy and paste it where you need it.

Why should you keep your password private?
Password protection is just one type of security you can set on your android phone.The lock is some what like a screensaver lock you see on the PC, it becomes active when the phone is idle or you put it into standby mode. Whenever someone tries to access the phone it asks for a password and effectively stops them from seeing what is inside.
What are macros in word processing?

How do you find someone who has disappeared?
It depends. Are you looking for someone who is still alive or are you searching for a long dead ancestor? The search methods aren't exactly the same. For ancestors, try a Surname Search on a site like rootsweb. You can also try usgenweb. If you know a state they were from, go to the sites State Pages, select the state and search from there. Or you can search the US Genweb Project Archives. Finding living people can be a little more tricky, unless you know how to go about it. I do. Here is more advice: * You obviously have to narrow your search. Assuming you are looking for a deceased relative you have to look for clues - are there family stories about this person, or their family? This might give you a starting point. Then you could try census records for that location - that would at least give you an idea of what decade you might be looking for. For example I have census records for a specific family group. Then in the following census - the parents and oldest are missing, and the three youngest children are residing at the same location with a different female with the same last name. Looking at the city directories listed the father residing at the address right up to the year before the census. This narrows the search for death records, for example, to between of the last city directory listing and the date the census was taken. Maybe an older relative might have a scrapbook with a newspaper article, memorabilia, or obituaries. A obit for another relative might list the person you are looking for with the location of their residence at the time the obit was written.

How GUI is more user friendly than CLI?
Because you can use clearly labelled buttons and menus, so you can scroll through options, etc. Command-Line interfaces often rely on the user remembering what commands to use, what things to type .etc to make something happen
I'd rather click a button than type the command out.

How many minutes are in 100mb of a AVI format video?
.avi is a container format; the file extension itself provides no indication whatsoever of what codec is being used by the audio and video inside it. Because there are many variables, including codec, bit rate, the number of pictures used in the compression algorithm, the sampling size of the audio, etc..., it is impossible to predict with any real accuracy how long a video of an arbitrary file size is.
