Can My Computer Be Too Old For Some Driver Updates?


When I use a program called Driver Support, a Norton affiliated company, it lists all drivers that are updated, and those that are old and need updating and for this service for just under 30.00 dollars, I am able to download the latest drivers. In some cases the latest driver can not be installed in my computer due to my computer not meeting all the requirements for the update so I am given a list of alternate drivers. In the case of my NVIDIA video card I had to instead of using the latest updated driver, go for one that was not quite as new yet newer than the one in my computer. It worked. Lucky me. But the fact that my PC is only a year old and has issues with some of the drivers that are supposed to work with this specific model worries me some.

Why Are People Afraid Of Knowledge In Computer Security?


Sometimes, I find my answers reported as abusive. This seems to happen when I direct someone asking for knowledge in malware analysis or for samples (which can be downloaded practically everywhere). I think my answers are technically sound and unbiased, as it has to be, because yelling “this is evil” does noone get anywhere. And if someone wants to gather knowledge about “computer viruses”, he’ll get it from for example securitytube. So why not point future analysts in the right direction?
I would like to understand how people think, are they afraid of the knowledge itself?
Or just raging because someone spreads knowlegde instead of repeating politically corect slogans as “this is illegal” and “don’t hack, its bad” (aka moralists)?
Or is it professionals fearing for their share in the market or their “secrets”?

Major In Computer Science Or Accounting?


I am a high school student and I have narrowed my choices of potential college majors to these two: Computer Science and Accounting.
I have interests in both, and some recommended an MIS major. I researched it a bit and MIS seems to lack competitive qualities versus a computer science degree. It also has one of the highest unemployment rates [MIS.].
I have an interest in economics; both the quantitative areas as well as historical concepts of the subject. I chose to consider accounting over economics due to better employment opportunities and how lucrative the degree can be. I plan to get an MBA or Master’s in Economics after some work experience. Then, a CPA after I get enough credit hours.
I was wondering if anyone could help me decide. I’m interested in both, and deciding on one has been stressing me out lately.
Computer Science offers fantastic employment and salary opportunities, but I am afraid of the math difficulty. Technology and its effect on the world has captured my interest. I’m an introverted type, so I thought this would be a good niche. I like mathematics, as I do very well, but I’m not the best of the best in the subject, and I don’t want it to consume my whole major. I like history, and I hate chemistry very much. So, I’m unsure about this. There’s the possibility of age discrimination as I get older as well…
Also, I have absolutely no programming experience whatsoever. I don’t seem to have any time to learn it on the side because I am in the International Baccalaureate. Also, my school doesn’t offer any programming classes.
I noted that a lot of computer science grads have great starting salaries, but usually cap at about $120k. This is still amazing, but I feel that accounting could possibly have better opportunities for salary growth. CFO, Director, etc.
Accounting supports my interest in the systems of a business and working with numbers. It also seems easier to get a stable job, as the only certifications to get are CPA, CMA, etc. and while hard, it beats having to get a plethora of certifications in several different programming languages or applications, etc. that will eventually become obsolete in a computer science type job. As I previously noted, I am also interested in economics, and I’ll probably take some business economics electives. The careers in accounting are a mixed bag. Some say that its a great choice and their work / life balance is good and they receive fantastic salaries. Others say it’s the worst decision they’ve ever made because of no work / life balance, stressful deadlines, and crappy salaries. So I’m confused with that.
Then there’s the fact that my parents and siblings will look down on me for majoring in something as “unfulfilling and boring” [their words] as accounting. -_-
I want to be a benefit to society, rather than a leech or crook, like some of the people who currently run it. I want to benefit humanity through my work.
So please, help me decide! I’m pretty stressed out about which one to choose.

Is This Alright If I Put It Under Disclaimer? New?


I have youtube channel. And every of my video has the following statement in the description:

I am in no way responsible for; anything caused to your computer, you getting in trouble and/or you resulting in any of several unforeseen consequences. Do this at your own risk. Thanks.
Can I put that statement under a Disclaimer heading? And what does disclaimer mean?
I have a channel where I upload tutorials on how to ‘download’ PC games… if you catch my drift…

Php Sessions. Need Some Help.?


Hello, I am writing a simple web site. I successfully made the register and log in pages, but now I want to allow only one session per username.
More detailed: When someone logs in a session starts.
If he tries to log in from somewhere else, I want the first session to drop before starting a new session.
How can I do that?
-I already thought of keeping the session ID in the database and change it when the user logs in from another computer. When he tries to go back to the first computer and clicks any link, it checks automatically if the session_id that it has is different compared to the one saved on the database. If it is, it automatically logs out. I could add timed sessions so if the user does not come back to his first computer it automatically closes the session etc.
Problem is that even if I do that, the server will be loaded with sessions that will never be used again until the sessions get timed out. Is there any way to close the session (lets say close a session by knowing its id)?
Any other ideas?
