How do you partition a mac hard drive without losing data?
If you are running a recent version of Mac OS X you can use the Disk Utility software found in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder. As with all disc based operations it is good practice to have a back-up copy of your content. From the Disk Utility Help page (The Help menu is your friend):
Creating new partitions on a disk
You may be able to create multiple partitions on your disk without losing any data. Each partition works like a separate disk. You may need to create a new partition if you want to install multiple operating systems on your computer. Partitions can also help you organize your files.
NOTICE:Back up your data before creating new partitions on your disk as a precaution.
To create new partitions on a disk:
1. Select the disk from the list at the left, and click Partition.
2. Select an existing partition in the Volume Scheme list, and click Add (+). Disk Utility splits the partition into two, leaving the data in one of the new partitions. If the partition is less than half-full, Disk Utility creates two partitions of equal size. Otherwise, it creates one partition large enough for the data, and another partition with the remaining space.
3. Resize the partitions as needed. You can drag the dividers between the partitions in the Volume Scheme list, or you can select a partition in the Volume Scheme list, and then enter a value in the Size field.
4. Choose how to format the partitions that will be erased or created. For each new partition, select it, enter a name, and then choose a format.
5. Click Apply.
Or you can get under the bonnet and do all that geeky stuff:
You need to use the "diskutil" command line program, along with the "-resizeVolume" flag...
Here is the help information for this command:
#################
Disk Utility Tool
Usage: diskutil resizeVolume [Mount Point|Disk Identifier|Device Node] size
Non-destructively resize a disk. You may increase or decrease its size.
When decreasing size, you may optionally supply a list of new partitions to create.
Ownership of the affected disk is required.
Valid partition sizes are in the format of
Valid sizes are B(ytes), K(ilobytes), M(egabytes), G(igabytes), T(erabytes)
Example: 10G (10 gigabytes), 4.23T (4.23 terabytes), 5M (5 megabytes)
resizeVolume is only supported on GPT media with a Journaled HFS+ filesystem.
A size of "limits" will print the range of valid values for the current filesystem.
Example: diskutil resizeVolume disk1s3 10G JHFS+ HDX1 5G MS-DOS HDX2 5G
Valid filesystems: "Case-sensitive HFS+" "Journaled HFS+" "Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+" "HFS+" "HFS" "MS-DOS FAT32" "MS-DOS FAT16" "MS-DOS" "MS-DOS FAT12" "UFS" "Linux" "Swap"

So here's what you need to do: (if you want to install a Linux partition)
In the example from the help command, they are creating a second and third partition on the disk - you don't need to do this (because diskutil doesn't create ext3 or ext4 partitions)...leave the space as "free" or unpartitioned space.
When I'm giving you commands below, a normal shell prompt is shown as a "$" (you don't need to type in the $)....
1.) MAKE SURE YOU AREN'T RUNNING ANY OTHER PROGRAMS WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING THESE COMMANDS. YOU WILL NEED TO RESTART THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PARTITION GETS RESIZED.
2.) Use the diskutil command line program to determine which device number your startup disk is:
$ diskutil list
This will list out information that shows device numbers (ie. disk0, disk1s5, etc.). Determine the identifier for your hard drive (it will be listed under "name" - you probably only have one partition, and it's probably the last on on the list).
/dev/disk0
#: type name size identifier
0: Apple_partition_scheme *149.1 GB disk0
1: Apple_partition_map 31.5 KB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 148.9 GB disk0s3
3.) You need to determine how much free space you have available, and how much you want to split off for Linux (you will want to leave a little for the Mac side, but have enough for Linux or whatever you are doing)...For the most part, if you "Get Info" on the hard drive, and it shows that you have 95 GB capacity, and that 40 GB are used, 75 GB would be a good size to resize the Mac partition to (giving you 35 GB of space there, and 20GB free space for LInux)...
4.) To do the actual resizing, you'll need to use the "sudo" command to run the command as root:
$ sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s3 75GB
How do you tell if your computer is being accessed remotely?
If it is running slower than usual, usually says if your are being monitored or not. If you think it is spyware, run a full computer scan with something like norton. If you think you are being monitored over a network, check how much data your computer is transferring by using task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and clicking on the network tab. If you are not downloading any files or using the internet and the graph shows above 5% for more than a few seconds you might be being monitored

How can you get sound on your computer when the control panel says that there is no audio device?
Bummer, sounds like yo need to install a device driver for your soundcard.
If you have a brand name PC you can probably get it from the manufacturers website. If you don't then you'll need to find out what model soundcard you've got. Download Craig Hart's PCI32 diagnostics to find out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem probably started due to driver incompatibilities. I had a similar one when I installed a new graphics card and updated drivers.
Start up your computer and go to your BIOS (hold down the key to go to 'Setup').
Go to Onboard Audio and switch from Auto to Enabled (or perhaps viceversa).
This is what worked for me. Credit goes to the good people at the Nvidia forums. Good luck.

How do you resize photos in Microsoft Word?
Open the image file you wish to edit. Click the Menu / Image / Stretch/Skew Image. Choose a percentage figure to resize the image. To avoid distortion, choose the same percentage for the horizontal and vertical stretch. Click OK. Once you have the desired size, click File / Save As... to prevent overwriting the original image.
Alternatively you can select the whole image (Ctrl + A) and use + and - to resize the image.

What is better mac book air or mac book pro?
The Pro is better - i have heard the air can break really easily because it is so light and flimsy.
I disagree. The air is faster and easier to carry around. The pro might freeze now and then, but the air wont. I have it and it never broke on me once or froze on me.
It depends, if you're looking for more memory and amazing performance, get the mac book pro. If you're looking for something to travel with or a simple, basic computer for surfing the web or email etc., get the mac book air.
What is the difference between a menu bar and a standard bar in Windows XP?

Another is in classic form. Standard is an option on Tool bar.
What is the function of the OS scheduler?
The scheduler's job is deciding when each process gets a shot at CPU time and for how long. While their approaches are different, they all follow roughly the same strategy:
First, assume that the CPU can run only one process at a time. CPUs with multiple cores are treated as multiple CPUs that can only run a single process or thread. Therefore the scheduler will determine that X amount of processes can be in a "running" state, where X is the number of cores or CPUs.
Second, assume that any process waiting for I/O is not going to accomplish anything while on the CPU, so do not schedule the process until its associated I/O operation has been COMPLETED by the hardware in question.
Third, assume that not all processes are equal in importance. Some processes really do not need much CPU time, so do they really need to preempt a process that does need plenty of CPU?
Fourth (In preemptive scheduling.), the kernel and not the processes, have full control over when context switching occurs, including when a process's time slice expires. Further, a process can and should be able to preempt itself when asking for I/O so that the kernel can arrange the operation with the drivers.
Finally, assume that all processes are flawed and just waiting to try and take each other's stuff. The scheduler itself will not implement memory protection, but it does need to know how to interpret whatever memory management is in place for context switching purposes.
A diacritical mark (˜) placed over the letter n in Spanish to indicate the palatal nasal sound (ny), as in cañon, or over a vowel in Portuguese to indicate nasalization, as in lã, pão.
A symbol used in Windows, starting with Windows 95, that maintains a short version of a long file or directory name for compatibility with Windows 3.1 and DOS. For example, the short version of a file named "Letter to Joe" would be LETTER~1. Then "Letter to Pat" becomes LETTER~2. In the Unix world, all the popular Unix shells (except for the Bourne shell) support a home directory name substitution using the tilde. Also called a "squiggle" or "twiddle," the symbol is used as a prefix to a user login name to specify that user's home directory. For example, if your user name were "jackson," you would use ~jackson to refer to your home directory. The tilde symbol is a Spanish accent that turns the letter "n" into a "nyeh" sound such as in the word mañana, which is pronounced "mah-nyah-nah" and means "morning" or "tomorrow." The tilde is also used as a mathematical symbol that means the difference between two values or an equivalency between two values. The tilde can also be used as an abbreviation to indicate approximation. ~50 = "approximately 50." It is technically supposed to be two tildes, one over the other, but it has become common to simply use the one symbol. Also, the tilde is used in Symbolic Logic to indicate a "not" value. ~A = "not A." A --> ~B = "If A, then not B"

Why do you need a user name and a password?
The user name and password are very important because both are used for security purposes. If there is important data in a system, you want to protect it from being stolen so that no one else can use your details to pretend they are you, or to do things like get your credit card numbers.
