Computer repairmen that work at Geek Squad or another computer repair business. A person with a degree of some sort. Also, what would be the salary of a Computer Programmer in the Dallas area? God Bless!


Answer
A good friend of ours owns a communications/networking installation/computer support business in Dallas. For skilled computer repair people he pays $30/hour, it is all contracted work at businesses and corporations and is completely full time. They offer several company benefits such as bonuses, healthcare plan, etc.

We know another person who owns a franchise similar to Geek Squad, he chrages a "trip charge" then bills at $60/hour. He pays the employee at $35/hour, the extra $25 covers employment/advertising costs, the trip charge is basically where his profit sits. Most "house calls" generally tip as well, adding to the pay. His calls are primarily home computer uses rather than businesses. He charges and pays more for after hours/weekend work. While he pays more for his techs, they do not necessarily get 40 hours per week, his techs are only "on the clock" if they are working, and the calls can sometimes be spotty. Some weeks get more than 40 hours, some weeks they get less. They do not have many benefits.

What computer brands allow you to build your own computer?

Q. I know I want to build my own computer for college. But the only brand that I know of that does build computers to your specification is Dell. However, I'm pretty sure that there is another top of the line brand that lets you build your own computer. So if you can have get some more options of brands for which I can choose that will be great.


Answer
All brands let you customize the computer models. But when people talk about building their own computer, that's not what they mean. What they're talking about is purchasing each component individually and putting it together yourself. It's much cheaper than having someone like Dell or HP do it for you. Sites like http://www.newegg.com and http://www.tigerdirect.com will sell you the parts pretty cheap. You need to pick out your components (and make sure that they fit), then assemble them at the end.

Can a computer virus passively infect the computer by just being online?

Can a computer virus infect my computer just by being online? No downloading or uploading. No file sharing. No instant messaging/chatting. No opening of new browsers or opening email or email contents and such. Just leaving my computer on with my homepage screen and connected to internet.


Answer
Yes. And no. At some point, something HAD to be done to allow access to your system. Once it's already ON your system (via a Trojan Horse or some other "insider" method), it's created what's known as a backdoor... at that point the program running somewhere out there online DOES have access to your computer because you're online... but only because of something that was let into your system at some point in the past.

What computer should i buy for hi definition video editing?




Stop testi


I need a desktop computer to edit hi definition video. And able to run heavy video-editing programs like Adobe CS5, or After effects. What computer should i buy?


Answer
Look at an Intel i7 cpu based computer. Any of the core i7 cpu's should work just fine. The best cpu trade off performance to price is the i7 930. I think the amount of memory and the video card you buy may be more important than the cpu itself. I would go with 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM, at least two 1 Teribyte drives (total, 2 teribytes) and the best ATI video card out there, the ATI HD 5870 or 5870. I would also make sure I was buying Windows 7 ULTIMATE EDITION because it has extra tools in it.

That is what I would get. Now go out and look for computers that meet those kind of specs.
