My DSLR changes my aperture?

I have the nikon D5000
I set the aperture to the lowest which is 4 on the A on the dial. But shouldn't the aperture go lower?
When i switch back to M "manual" on the dial and take pictures by aperture will change like to 5.6 or whatever. I don't like that because what if i want the aperture at 2.6 and the shutter speed at 1/1600
This is really bugging me!!! im on manual mode, yet i still cant completely manually take photos.

Suggestions for a DSLR for detective work?

I am a detective and am looking to buy a better camera than my department has. I need to stay under $1000 (Hey, I'm a cop.) I am looking at the Nikon D5100 because I like the swivel screen (often have some really odd angles) and at its cost I can afford a macro lens and speed light. Any suggestions would be great. I'd love the D7000 but that is just too far out of budget. I already own a Canon XT. Just looking to upgrade. thanks.

Black room. Developing photos. And Nikon F photomic?

I am trying to figure out if once you learn how to use it could a Nikon f photomic be better than a Cannon power shot A620? i heard that once you learn how to use it and develop them you can get good pictures is that true because i wondering how a very old camera can be better than digital. And what exactly is a black room? what do you do in one? and where can i find one? and do all the photos turn out black and white? why is the room red? sorry idk anything about this and am curious.

Black chips INSIDE my dropped lens! How to fix it?

I accidentally dropped my Nikon D80 with lens on (Nikkor 18-135mm), it dropped from my desk and landed on the floor (on the camera body with the lens facing upward), no chips or visible damage on the outside at all. But when I look inside my lens, I see 3-4 shutter-shaped (or shark fins shape) black pieces inside, they are whole pieces, unbroken, like the shutter loosened or something! I can still turn on my camera, but it'll only keep trying to focus, the shutter won't close, I can't take any pictures with it.

Can I take apart my lens and put the pieces back into place? I looked all over the internet for solutions but I haven't found anything useful yet. Best if I can fix it myself, I really can't afford to have pros repair it or get a new one.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated, thanks in advance!
Added (1). I tested the camera again just now--there are still loosed blades inside the lens--but it's working, I can take pictures with it just fine!

When i convert a tiff file into a jpeg, why does it go massive?

I'm converting a NEF file (Nikon RAW format) into a TIFF file to make it more manageable without reducing the quality of the image. When I;ve finsihed editing it, I think convert the TIFF into a JPEG for publishing.

The thing that I thought I understood, but have now tied myself up in knots with, is why the physical size of the file changes so massively, whilst the DPi reduces.

These are the respective file sizes/info

NEF/RAW Original: 300 dpi, 52cm wide
TIFF: 200 dpi, 41cm wide
JPEG: 72dpi, 174cm wide

I know the correlation is obviously between the resolution reducing but I can't seem to make it click at the moment.

HELP PLEASE - ANYONE - SOMEONE - AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
