What makes a computer choosing random numbers, start at 3, or 5, or 3027846?
A computer starts somewhere. It starts with a bios and a CPU and a motherboard ect… When we code that computer to pump out a random number, what makes it pick the number it picks? Exactly the same computer sits beside it's identical and they both pick different 1st random numbers. Is the Bios fed a seed during construction and every new bios gets a different seed? Those of us that have worked with random numbers know what a seed is. So why does my computer give a number between 100 and 1000 as 756, but yours gives, 537? Is that not a form of intelligence beyond that of artificial? We gave the computer the ability to give random numbers, but what makes it give or pick that random number when in reality it has no 'will' to decide. Why 3 and not 4, when it favours nothing? Even with a seed, what makes it choose 5 with this seed but 7 with that seed? Where in the ruels of life does it say that, with this seed equaling 756395837 in that computer, 1st random # will be this?

How to transfer files from a computer that will only run in safe mode?
I have an old computer that gets a blue error screen (when trying to boot up), then auto-restarts. The only way to access this computer is through safe mode.

I have purchased a new computer, but still need some important tax info off the old one, for my 2008 taxes.
