Q. What is the use of a laptop/notebook to an engineering student?
I mean now that I am supposed to buy one for college(B.Tech in Software Engineering), what features should I look for in terms of processor,RAM,hard disk capacity?
Will Intel Atom be sufficient for my needs?
Please give suggestions for the apt configuration (RAM,graphic card,hard disk,processor ,battery life etc)

A. GO for HP,COMPAQ OR DELL
BUDGETS PCs AND WORKING GOOD
PROCESSOR:CORE2DUO i5 OR i7 2.0 OR ABOVE
RAM DDR2 OR DDR3,DDR3 BEST.3 OR 4 GB
GRAPHICS CARD PREFERRED nVIDIA 9600GT OR ANY OTHER IN nVIDIA
HARD DESK MINIMUM 250 GB OR ABOVE.
GO WITH Li ion BATTERY.
I THINK THIS IS ALL.

Why do consumers have to activate software they paid for?
Q. Also why do people keep upgrading their software. The scripts are similar?
all you get is a new desk top page and a bunch of Boloni.
Sometimes I wonder why people Gates and others who make you active software and does not respect the privacy laws are not sitting next to Made-off.I believe If you buy it it should be yours. He has been a technical-crook for years!!!
You should not have to to activate your software or spend more for upgrade!! That is just highway robbery in my opinion. What are your thoughts people???? Do you think you should have to answer to anyone for something you bought?

A. You are partially correct. I think that the only registration that you should have to make is simple. A key and then a receipt number which would be logged into a database when the software is purchased. You shouldn't have to enter any personal info or even give them your e-mail address. Registration as it's done now, no matter how much of a pain in the ass they make it, is fairly easy to hack past. The only thing that making it more difficult does is give the end user a pain in the ass trying to register something that they already paid for. It doesn't bother those involved in software piracy. It's an annoyance for those who use pirated software who aren't too bright, though, but that doesn't last very long.
>>edit:
It should also be noted that sometimes, the pain of registration and all the hoops you have to jump through leads to people using pirated software. People like to rebel against those who they believe have wronged them.
For instance, I use a no-cd hack for one of my games because for one, I don't want SecuROM malware on my computer mucking things up, and two, I don't want to have to destroy my game disk by constantly inserting it and removing it form the drive.

I do agree with you that it should be stated in plain language and not be buried in the EULA that you are only purchasing limited rights to the software. Anti-viruses are the main abusers of this. You're buying a year or 18 months. After that, your software is useless unless you spend more money. How it's legal, I'm not sure... Why no one has filed a class action lawsuit, I'm not sure...
I don't think that Gates is a crook. He puts out software and you buy it and it's yours. I'm still using my original XP disk that I bought the day it was publicly available. I have a Windows 98SE disk that I could use to install on a computer and then upgrade with a XP upgrade disk that I have...if I had old enough hardware to install it on. Right now I have Windows 7 on all my computers excepting an old Dell C610 laptop that I got for free. That has one of my copies of XP upgrade on it (it had 2000 Pro). I'm hopeful that I won't have to buy another copy of Windows for ten more years...unless I buy or put together another computer without 'decommissioning' one of the others.
If you want to do something about the PITA that is paid software check out my link below. All free software...

>>End User License Agreements (EULA's) tell you the Terms & Conditions of using any software BEFORE you click "I accept, or proceed"<<
Yeah, but the problem is that you only find that out *AFTER* you've purchased the software, which you now can't easily return, since it's been opened. There should at least be a very basic EULA statement on the packaging or available where you purchase the software. That would help...

What are the advantages of a thin client like Wyse?
Q. My school is beginning the process of getting rid of our traditional CPUs and replacing them with Dell Wyse thin clients. What is the advantage to this?
A. The advantages of a thin client system are as follows:
The school can use a large number of low priced, low performance machines on the desks for the students to use. The actual processing is handled by a small number of powerful servers. The majority of the time, particularly in a school environment, each user is using very little processing power. It makes little sense to have high power levels on each desk for the few seconds when the processing power is required. It is better to have a small number of high power processors that are shared by the users and are each doing much more real work.
Having the applications running on a small number of servers in a central location makes it far easier to keep all the applications working at the same update state.
Centrally managed servers are easy to keep updated with the latest antivirus software rather than trying to get AV updates applied to all the desk top PCs. This means that the school will be better protected from virus attacks and spyware.
Storing the data is a central location, allows the school to provide a backup service for all the students rather than relying on each student protecting his or her own data.
Students can move round the school and access their data from any thin client terminal.
When the next major leap forward in processing technology or operating systems comes along. The school only needs to replace its few servers rather than all the desk top systems around the school.
The performance of applications running on a thin client system is similar to or in many cases better than on individual PCs.
