Hi guys.I am 14 years old and I will be going to China in summer of 2011, and I would like to know what is the best type of computer software to learn Chinese (Mandarin). I’ve heard of Rosetta Stone, obviously, but I do not know if it is just over hyped or what. Please let me know which other companies have great products. Thanks!

My pc at home is getting old and I realize I need to buy a new one. It has 256 mb ram, 7 gb hard drive, windows 2000, 466 mhz processor. I have tried adding a lot of software to it but that seems to have slowed it down considerably. I bought counter spy anti-spyware, mailwashe anti-spam, avg anti-virus, zone alarm firewall and registry mechanic. Booting up with all these is a very slow, painful process.

i recently bought a router which has a firewall in it.

1) do i really need a router with a firewall AND Zone alarm software firewall?

2) exactly what security-related software do i need?

3) what software do i need in startup? it takes 10 minutes now to boot up

Thank You Edge (YWWA) asked:


Like Virus software and computer programs like Microsoft Word, not CD’s or DVD’s.

My notebook’s CD drive doesn’t work anymore for some reason, and since I currently have Norton Anti-Virus software installed I’m scared that when it expires, in August, I won’t be able to buy any virus software for my computer anymore since it can’t play any tipe of discs anymore.

Can external disc drives play computer software? And the ones that can, how much do they cost, if they exist?

Hi,
I want to become a computer software engineer, But what exactly do they do? Also what type of education do i need to make around 80,000$ a year as a computer software engineer. I am strong in math and love computers and technology. Would a bachelor degree work for this? Or do i need to acquire a masters?

I’m almost 15, bad at math, good at every other subject, B average and A’s if I really work hard at it. I’m on the computer most of my day playing FPS’s and I’m interested in coding. Is it hard to code in C++ or C# or HTML. How hard is the field of computer software engineering? How realistic would it be for me to start learning about coding at the age of 15? Is coding hard? Where should I start also and does the career require math?

I have done research and saw people buy computer hardware and software quite allot. I am wondering what software I should buy if I want to make a reasonable profit and sell easily. I sell products online.

The software is more media related like Autodesk Maya and Cakewalk Sonar and has screenshots within the guideline. I am not sure if it is considered software engineering, instructional systems technology, desktop publishing, or computer programming. I would like to clarify, thanks!
