Would it be easy for someone pretend to be in a different country?
Someone has been writing to me saying they are from a specific country (Germany) The ip address check out as being German -- BUT they use a German email company and a laptop. Could they be in the UK pretending to be in Germany? And how easy would it be for them to do that???

Anyone with moderate to advanced computer skills could likely bounce an email enough so it would appear from somewhere else. It's possible that by viewing the complete email headers you could better know the origin, but even then it could be masked.
2 :
Actually, it would be very difficult because of the way IP addresses are assigned. They would have to have a permanent IP address, and that's hard to do when you connect in different places (or even to different networks). However, if they use broadband it is possible to get a GPS location on them.

For the email, this is no problem... You can signup for a Yahoo Mail and say you are in UK and will get your mail as whatever@yahoo.co.uk As for the IP, there are some applications that hide your real IP and provide you with another virtual one They are known as IP Hiders and they work in a Proxy Technique... About whether its possible to choose an IP of a specific country, don't know of any application that does it, but if there is applications that change your physical IP to a Virtual IP, then probably there is an application that would provide you with the feature of choosing the country you want...

Studying Abroad in Germany, cost for a semester
Studying Abroad in Germany, cost for a semester?
I'm planning on studying abroad in Germany when I get to college for a full semester, maybe longer but as of now I'm keeping it at about 3 months. I'm starting to plan everything out now just to have an idea of things that I'll need and cost. (Mind you I still have at least 3 years to get everything together) From anyone who has studied abroad or has been to Germany, could you help me out with: -How much money I should have for meals/grocery shopping -Extra spending money -What type of converters I should get (hair drier, straightener, cell phone, laptop) -Average cost traveling with schools Thanks so much!!

Semesters in Germany are (roughly) from September to February, and March to July. Groceries and food in Germany are generally cheap, although living in bigger or more affluent cities like Munich can raise the cost. I live in Munich, and have been able to survive with €50 a month in groceries. It depends how much you like to cook, and where you choose to shop. Extra spending money is directly tied to the size of your city. Small towns are inherently cheaper, but you will want to travel to Munich and Berlin. There are lots of things to do in those places, but lots of them are free or reduced for Students, and have reduced prices on Sundays. For your first time in Germany, I would budget €100 a month. There is lots to experience. For all my US electronics (laptop, iPod dock), I use a single POWER converter for European plugs (220-110), and then use a power strip (5 outlets) that I brought from the US. Works well for me, because I only have a few things plugged in, and they are next to each other. If you want mobility, bring more :-) A semester abroad is typically covered in your tuition for your home school. You can also try to find a program outside your school which is cheaper (maybe $8k for a semester), but make sure that credits earned will transfer. Most programs cover the cost of ausflüge (trips/excursions within the lesson plan), but not incidentals or food. Good to have €20 on hand any time you travel for the day. And with Germany being on the boarder to SO MANY fun countries, you might want to do extra trips outside of your program.

Hi there! I am currently studying abroad in England, so if you would like to ask me any questions about the cost of studying abroad for trips to different places, I can give you a good idea about how much that is going to cost! I don't know specifics about Germany, but I can give you an overall idea of how much trips are going to cost. I also have a blog documenting my travels. So far I have been to London, various other cities in England, Scotland, and Spain. I'm going to Stonehenge this weekend and then Ireland the next. Germany, Prague, and Italy to come! It's a great experience and I would love to talk further if you are interested

Germany World cup 2006 computer game
Germany World cup 2006 computer game?
Okay so i just found a germany world cup 2006 computer game in my closet, and i started to play it and everything was fine until i started the match. The screen went as if it was "negative" like if i was playing in a stadium during the day, my screen would be like orange and white and colours like that. The players were completely white and you couldnt see them, then when the players started to move, it was white but you could see their shadows on the field (if that makes sense) my screen is perfectly fine cause im playing it on a brand new laptop, i dont know what to do?! help :(

The game might be damaged, either the disk is scratched, it could've been burnt out from before or maybe it's just old. Sometime these things happen

Traveling to Germany soon. Never been there before
Traveling to Germany soon. Never been there before?
Alright so I'm heading to Germany, I'll be flying into Hamburg. I've never been there before, and I've never been to Europe. I am very excited to go, and I will be there for two weeks. Here are some questions - feel free to add any opinions too! 1. What should I pack for clothing? 2. How long is the flight over the ocean ( From the time I leave US hard land until I reach Europe hard land 3. I don't like flying over oceans, what movies should I pack for my laptop 4. Will my US visa card work there? and 5. If I want to power my laptop and cellphone what plug do I need and where do I get it? Add any additional information you may have to this for traveling out of the country to Europe. Yes, I will drive on the Autobahn too I plan on renting an Audi out there to have some fun in!

1. if your from the Norther U.S. State the weather is similar , so depending when you are going you will pack as you are in the U.S. 2. Again depending when your leaving from - if its from New York it should take approx 7 hours, but that depends if it is a layover or direct flight. 3. Try getting some sleep as there is a time difference instead of watching movies. 4. You will need a valid passport - I think the Visa will only cause confussion and hold you up. 5. Yes you will need special plugs, you can usually buy them at a luggage store.

1. The weather in the Northern part of Germany in autumn or early winter is hard to predict. Be prepared for cloudy days with scattered showers or stormy, rainy days and temperatures of 40 to 50°F. 2. The flight duration over the ocean depends on your departure point and will range from 5h 15m from Massachusetts to 7h 15m from Florida. 3. The ones you like most or new ones you haven't seen yet. 4. VISA cards are accepted mostly, you are able to get cash at ATM machines, too. 5. Usually new chargers have multiple voltage and operate under 100-240V/50-60Hz. All you need is a plug adapter for the European standard sockets( two round pins). 6. For renting a car I must disappoint you; a 17-year-old cannot hire cars in Germany. The minimum age is 18 years and that allows a hire of a compact class vehicle only (Mercedes A-type, BMW 1, VW Golf). To hire a mid-size/premium class vehicle you must be at least 21 years old and for the luxury class at least 25 years with three years of driving experience.
