How can a network monitor my web surfing?
Q. At work when on web sites like banking, e mail, sports ect. how can a network monitor my web surfing. I mean I have personel information out there. Can my manager or anyone else see these? If I connect to a router on the road too like at e cafe where you can connect on the way to a client? How safe is my information?

A. The answer is you do not own the network you use, so the owner is allowed to monitor that traffic as long as they give you fair warning. A network administrator is not interested in your traffic, but making sure you get from point a to point b, without any errors or congestion. A security guy is going to use third party software on the network that is configured to capture all your web surfing activitiy. If security has given permission to your Manager to view your information he might do so. Since this is the field I work, I would say 99% of the time, we don't care what you are surfing on the internet as long as it doesn't violate policy. You can rest assure your information is private, but know that "we're" watching. At an e cafe… [cont.]

First of all, with all due respect, why aren't you applying for ANY JOB? From fast food to gas stations, to farming, etc.. Second, are you trained and/or being trained even more?

There are tons of jobs for outsourcing writing, and data entry, etc. Last, you may consider even opening your own business, SURFING!

Suggestions for a good, cheap desktop computer package for web surfing and word processing only?
Q. I'm interested in finding a very cheap desktop computer package (e.g. box, monitor, keyboard, mouse) for very basic computing, such as web surfing and word processing. No heavy gaming or memory-hogging apps like Photoshop, just very basic computing. I see that there are eMachine packages at Walmart and places like that for around $400... is this the best deal (or the average price) or are there better deals out there? I'd be interested in hearing suggestions. Thanks.

A. emachine computers from walmart and such are good deals, except they are verys slow memory wise. I recomend that you look for a PC with 512 mb, not 128. I know that it is for basic surfing, but it is slow, and the price difference is not much. The rest of the computer doesn't matter but my advice is to not get 128 mb, go for 512

A. it can't be done, the N73 can't recognise external storage as system memory. the only thing you can do is transfer as much as possible from the phone to the card. you can save messages to the card instead of the phone and you can also transfer your contacts to your sim card, that will make a huge difference.

When surfing the web my computer will play a brief audio clip, why does it do that?
