This is bullshit, I have recorded "What you hear" in Windows 7, playing music from Winamp and recording on the Windows sound recorder just to see if it works, and it does, no problems! The soundcard I used is a Creative SB Audigy 2 with drivers 6.0.1.1241

It probably charges a battery or capacitors during normal use, and uses that energy to power the RAM and the circuitry needed to wake the machine up.

Website, easy, think of a website like a huge multidrawer filing cabinent, each drawer is a website containing "webpages", each webpage is a collection of text, images, sounds, links to other webpages, etc.. When you click on a link you are whisked off to another webpage on another website. A Forum would be a section of a website (or a whole website in itself) where topics are posed, and people converse about them, in private or public. Sounds like this would be a good way, however i am somewhat biased being a technogeek.
