    Can I uninstall Internet Explorer from my computer

    No, unfortunately. Microsoft deliberately welded Internet Explorer into Windows. It can only be removed through major brain surgery. The installation CD can actually be patched to never install IE in the first place, but once it's on, it pretty much screws over the entire registry. You can...

    Internet in "dsl-4.1-embedded" USB LINUX

    If you are running it in a virtual machine (which is what the "embedded" version was designed for) make sure that you have enabled the network adapter in the settings for the VM. If you are running it on real hardware, make sure you have a supported network card. Many wireless card won't work...

    You only need a firewall if you are connected directly to the internet. If you are using a router, the router should have a built-in firewall.

    Linux bluetooth mouse problems.

    I'm not sure how to map mouse buttons, but most people do not have mice with more than three buttons. To let it sense the input of more than three buttons, edit your xorg.conf file. To do this, you can open your terminal, and enter sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf Find your mouse section, and add...

    What's the difference between a torrent download and a normal download??

    Torrents are just a small file to help you connect, first to a tracker, and then to other computers, where you will download the file in chunks. A "normal" download has the file on a single server.

    why my pc takes time( 5 minutes) to open internet explorer when i just get

    I think you just answered your own question. You can't seriously expect a Pentium 3 with only 384 MB of RAM to run XP like it's on crack. Not to mention that you, like most Windows users who insist on using Internet Explorer, are probably burdened with spyware up the wazoo.

    Help with .MID file format??

    You can run it through a software synthesizer like TiMidity++ and export a .wav or .ogg format. You can then convert it into whatever other format you want. TiMidity++ uses SoundFonts to produce the sounds of different instruments. You will probably get better results by using a SoundFont other...

    No. Although they operate on the same frequency, Bluetooth and Wi-fi use different channel schemes and different protocols to communicate.

    What is a really good P2P program?

    There's an oxymoron: really good P2P program. All P2P programs give similar results, and have a similar risk for allowing idiots to infect their computers.

    Yes. You just need to download the ISO image and burn it to a CD. The internet is only needed if you want to install more packages or get security updates (which you won't need if you aren't on the internet anyway.) http://www.linuxmint.com/download.html

    This program can give you read-only access to NTFS partitions: http://www.diskinternals.com/products/ntfs-reader/ Writing ton NTFS partitions was a challenge that most non-Microsoft programs couldn't do until just a few years ago. So no one ever wrote a read/write driver for Windows 98.

    What sort of hardware do I use to connect 2 PC's to 1 printer?

    USB cables are ineffective for more than very basic file transfers. I don't think they even use a standard networking protocol. The best option, if you have no router, and the computers have Ethernet ports, is to buy a cheap Ethernet patch cable (I'm even seeing them in Dollar Tree now) and...
