to become a physical therapist can you major in kinesiology? or is there something else you major in? (link)
The study of muscles and muscular movement. It forms the basic science for physical and occupational therapies.

All States require physical therapists to pass a licensure exam before they can practice, after graduating from an accredited physical therapist educational program.

Physical therapist programs start with basic science courses such as biology, chemistry, and physics and then introduce specialized courses, including biomechanics, neuroanatomy, human growth and development, manifestations of disease, examination techniques, and therapeutic procedures. Besides getting classroom and laboratory instruction, students receive supervised clinical experience.


Are there any sites that you can make a site for free with your own name? Like instead of:
www.example.freewebs.com But I want:
www.example.com for free!

FREE. I have no money but I wanna make that site really bad. Plz help. (link)
It's cheap, usually about 10.00 total for a year. Although you can get a .tk domain for free, it'll throw a quick advertisement up before it loads the site.

Usually you can simply install the font to your fonts folder in windows control panel and the applications will be able to use it.

There you go.


I used to use AOL dialup for years, so finally my mom got us DSl, and She had it hooked up to the main computer in the basement, and bought a router and My computer (ground floor) is hooked up wireless. I can get online by internet explorer and everything, but all the pictures on website (like on myspace and places) show up as red X's, and even when I right click and hit Show Picture, it doesn't work. Also, all my friends have the same internet connection that I now have, and when they download music, it takes them like 5 seconds to download a song, and it takes me like 3 minutes or longer. I don't get it. Whats the problem? (link)
Check any other computer connected to the network and check to see if it's uploading files, bitorrent/p2p software will kill your bandwidth if you don't monitor and restrict the max upload rate/slots. Since you said that you're on wireless, you may need to boost the signal with either...

a) Get a better router
b) Upgrade your routers antenna >

c) Get a wireless repeater to increase the range

http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wirelessrouters/qt/routerantenna.htm

Chances are, your problems are due to you not getting good signal strength from where you're at in relation to the router. The cheapest route is to simply move the router around to try and increase the signal.


does anybody know any sites i can legally download songs from, free?
greatly appreciated.

thank you. (link)
Like dude said, if you're getting a song for free without the use of a promotional code of some sort, they you're stealing it. If you could simply get any song for free legally, how would the artists make money from albums? Now, you can use bitorrent or p2p software such as limewire, bearshare, kazaa, morpheus, etc. To get them, but they'll be far from legal.


ok for any of yall who use bearshare.. i jus downloaded it tonight & is there any way to download like several songs at once instead of jus one at a time?? thx (link)
Yes, just right click and select download on everything you want to download, the click on the 'downloads' tab and it will display the current downloading files.


I have advanced HTML knowledge. Does anybody know of somewhere I can design and upload a website for free? I don't want ads on my page, so that rules out Angelfire and Geocities. Thanks! (link)
To get a page without ads, go with http://www.awardspace.com


This is not a hard computer questions, so please at least read this before you give up on me.

OK, so I need to make a link that has different text than where it leads to. Like, if the link went to www.google.com, it would say Google, and you could click on the word Google and it would lead you to www.google.com.

I figured out how to do this on HTML for MySpace or something, but I need it in BBCode, like for forums, like Proboards. I've seen it done before.

Any help would be appreciated. =] (link)
There's usually two ways, some boards use one, some the other, some neither. Try one of these...

[url="www.google.com"]Google[/url]
[url=www.google.com]Google[/url]

I was wondering how I could have my own website. I don't mean something like xanga or myspace, but something real...for example, if my name was sara, I would make the URL www.saraswebsite.com (example). It may be too complicated, but if anyone knows how I would really like some advice. Thanks! (link)
First, you'll need a domain, which is the site address. www.someaddressyoulike.com, if it's taken, you'll have to choose another. Try www.godaddy.com for registering a domain name, this is usually about $10 a year.

Then you'll need hosting, this is the expensive part, usually. You could use free hosting such as what's offered by the sites mentioned by the answerers before me, i'd recommend awardspace.com. It'll do it without ads. You can register a domain, and forward from that domain to your awardspace domain so you don't have to say "my site is blahblah.awardspace.com replacing awardspace.com with your free hosting service of choice.


is it safe to download videos on limewire? because when my uncle downloaded limewire to my computer [hes really good with computers] he told me that i should only use it to download music, nothing else.
(link)
Downloading music from Limewire or any other p2p network or bittorrent is illegal unless you own the CD. It's called pirating music, i'm sure you've heard the term. The RIAA is handing out lawsuits left and right for that. I do it anyway, but you need to know that it's illegal. As for videos, if it's a movie, same rules as with music, you must own it first. It's it's the random internet mess you normally find, then it's fine to download it.


does your i.p. address change sometimes? i use dsl but like sometimes when i check it online or w/e it changes... (link)
Once you stop the traffic from your modem, the IP address may be assigned to somebody else, when you plug it back in and have traffic again, you'll acquire another address. With DSL and cable, you've got a 'static address' which for the most part, (as long as there's traffic) doesn't change, if you've got dialup, you have what's called a 'dynamic address' which changes everytime you dial.


14/f. okay so i've been seeing all of these people suggesting people to use proactiv and that it really works. well i've always considered it and my mom said that if all else fails she'll order it for me. but if i use proactiv and it works, then won't i just have to keep ording it for years and years? because if i stop using it won't my acne come back? i've never had REALLY bad acne, but its enough to be annoying and noticable.

is proactiv worth it?
if i stop using it will my acne come back?
and how long do i have to use it until i can safely stop? (link)
Not too sure about proactive, but if you've got it pretty bad, then you should see a dermatologist and request accutane, if you do, I sure hope you have insurance. It's expensive, but it works, and it'll get rid of it for the rest of your life. I've used it myself, and my brother has too, after a few weeks it was pretty much gone and will never come back. It may make an appearance when i'm 50, but if that happens, i'm free to get it again. Or whatever magical medical advanced had by then.


i use mozilla firefox and theres always popups that are like clean your computer with this or like ur computer is infected, try this program! well i also use ad-aware SE and everytime i run a scan, the popups still come.. how can i stop them?!?! (link)
Does this happen only on certain sites? If so, just avoid that site, if it occurs capriciously, boot into safe mode and run spybot search and destroy, avg antivirus, and adaware. When you run the programs out of safe mode, the files may be in use which means that the program can't delete them, spybot will try and correct this by requesting to run at startup, if so, allow it.


How can I hook up my VRC to my laptop so it will play video? I trying to play on tape through a video editing on my laptop using my capture device Everytime I try to make it play, it only plays on the televison. What am I doing wrong? (link)
Well, your grammer/spelling is terrible so i'll do my best to help you out. If you're trying to simply play video on your laptop lcd screen, you may be interested in a device such as this...

http://www.networktechinc.com/vga-converter.html

If you're trying to capture the video onto your hard drive for editing, uploading, etc. Try something such as this,

I compressed the c drive on a win 95 computer so I could add a sound card and ethernet card.ever since it won't even boot up.It says it's missing files. I tried to use a bootable floppy but no luck. I have totally lost my cd rom drive. Tried to install a universal drive via DOS but no luck. I really need step by step instructions.
Can anyone help?
Thanks Cujobird (link)
Did you make sure that the floppy is before the hard disk as the boot medium in the BIOS? You'll probably need to reinstall windows 95. Oh and why are you still running windows 95?


I wonder how the school connects to the internet without a service provider. because there people could just click internet explorer and the would be on the internet? is it free ? (link)
They have a T1 connection. Unlike Dial-up which uses a telephone line they are always connected to the internet. For a home, you wont need a T1 line, contact your local cable company, but it's usually 50$ a month or less. It's more then worth the price, dialup is 'teh suck'.


is there anyway to connect to the internet other than the ones that gives limited access without having to get an internet service provider? is there some type of modem or cable? (link)
Wow, person who last answered, you are SO FREAKING WRONG!

Now, to the poster, what do you mean limited access? In order to use the internet you must have an ISP. A modem is a device used to convert serial digital data from a transmitting terminal to a signal suitable for transmission over a telephone channel, or to re-convert the transmitted signal to serial digital data for acceptance by a receiving terminal.

A cable, well, think about that for one second.

As for the last answerer, a router is a special-purpose dedicated computer that attaches to two or more networks and routes packets from one network to the other. In particular, an Internet gateway routes IP datagrams among the networks it connects. Gateways route packets to other gateways until they can be delivered to the final destination directly across one physical network. It does not give you internet access alone. Again, you NEED AN ISP.
