Why are they different ? it's actually RGB and CMYK(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). This site has a detail description http://www.harrywaldman.com/June%2014%2004%20Pbol.htmland http://www.sparklenet.com/1_Main_Street/Ar...CMYK_vs_RGB.htm

There are also several other color picking variations. One very useful one is HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) where Hue picks the color, Saturation determines how deep the color is, and Value determines how bright the color is. This can be a little misleading though, because yellow is a naturally more bright color than, say, red. One of the reasons for using RGB in screens (and thus computers) is that the human eye only has red, green, and blue receptors. The other colors are mixes of those three, so it is natural to emit light from devices in those colors. Since paper absorbs light more than reflects (emits) it is pigment based, so the primary pigments, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow are used, where each pigment absorbs one of the primary light colors, Red, Green, Blue respectively. ~Viz

I had never really thought about that, which is odd since I'm usually the first to get curious about inconsistencies like that and look it up haha. Interesting to read about... it's funny that more people aren't thrown by that when going to buy ink and wondering why such a weird combo of colors was chosen (CYMK) haha

Actually, it has to do with transmissive and reflective sources. Your monitor is a transmissive light source - light is being transmitted out of your monitor. Paper is a reflective source, light reflects off the paper and inkpigments into your eyes. Rather simplified explanation, but they are two totally different light sources.

New Computer
What do you recommend? (54) Ok well we are considering purchasing a new computer. We've looked at a few different options,
mainly Dell. Some of the features are already decided, like this: Windows Vista Home Premium 2GB
RAM At least 320 GB hard drive 22" wide-screen monitor The graphics card and sound card
aren't really such a big deal, we do not use this PC for gaming/video-editing anyways. The PC
will primarily used for Office applications, web development, general Internet/email use, watching

New Computer?

Computer Overheating

working and I was wondering if it could have overheated as well and if there is anything I can do to
restore the files off it or at least get the (or some) files of it. Any recomendations for a new
fan? I am looking to spend no more then AU$50 and would like a good fan that w....
Dell Computer "shuts Down" When Opening Email

as well. The funny thing is that the machine itself still seems to be running. The light on the
monitor is orange, but the computer's light is green and the fan is still spinning in the back.

Computer Suddenly Turning Off

that could cause this hardware-wise. I'll try to describe it: After some time powered on, the
system suddenly *poof* shuts down in a harsh way. I press the Power button but it doesn't turn
on. Then, I remove the power cable from it's back, wait for some hour(s) and turn it on ok,
until it turns off again. I'd risk also to say that the 'uptime' I get after a shutdown
is somehow proportional to the time I left the power cable off it. Some would say it&....
