Hi, so recently I bought an external hard drive and started transferring my data into that to get more space in my internal one. I then noticed that I've used up almost 50% of my c drive but I don't know what it's used for and don't see anything that would use up this much memory. Is there any...

It is illegal to drive a pig over London bridge and it is also illegal to set off a nuclear weapon in the city limits of LA.It is perfectly legal to shoot someone from Wales with a crossbow should they be found in the county of shropshire on the weekend. I'm generally pretty law abiding and I...

Ok, so up until this morning I thought my hard drive was only 20GB (Dell Latitude D800), because that is the size of my C drive and no other drives are visible when I open My Computer. But this morning I was thinking there is no way my computer only came with 20GB, so I went into the System...

Is it possible to "install" LaTeX (for windows) on, say, a USB pocketdrive? Or better yet could I just copy over all the directories from an existing computer and then be able to compile .tex files using the packages I have installed? I know you can get other pieces of software that run off...

O.k., so I'm a nerd. I like occationally checking out the U.S. patent site for nifty new ideas, which, I'll admit, is a bit like looking through the dictionary for words I'm not familiar with (another of my less than sexy habits), but THIS time I found something you don't see everyday. It's a...

I tried installing Ubuntu on my computer. Turns out that the CD-ROM is not compatible with it (it's phillips). Can I install it from an external CD drive (my computer does not boot from external CD Drives)? If so, how? I don't have a floppy drive so I can't use boot floppies. I also...

This, unless I'm mistaken, violates conservation of momentum. Why then is research being done on it?: http://science.howstuffworks.com/electromagnetic-propulsion.htm If it doesn't violate anything, and if it turns out to work, then how does it work exactly? I'm puzzled.

I have an idea for a space drive system that does not use explosions or even combustion. It doesn't require any new physics, but its something that may not be possible to build. However, it seems far more practical than any of the systems I've seen so far. I can think of how to make it, I...

Attached is a photo of my RA drive. Its an ETX-105. The only visible problem is too much grease, but that's not a fatal issue. There are no chipped teeth, burrs, or anything else visible that could cause the problem. I watched run it for several minutes, then turned the scope off and moved...
