Using one's work computer for personal work if one has free time

Q: I am a government employee. I work on the computer. Often, there is little work and most of the time we are free. My questions are: 

1. Can I use the Govt. computer and internet for further learning advanced technologies?

2. Can I use it for listening to Islamic lectures?

3. Can I use it for work with some other companies as most the time I have no work to do?

Furthermore, the internet service is free and does not incur extra charges. 

Forming a partnership with a farmer

Q: If I venture into a capital investment partnership in which I will give the capital and my partner does the work. It will be specific to animals, my funds but animals will be at his farm, eat of his land and drink his water... But yes, any extra major expenses above this will be born from the capital amount which I give. Will this type of partnership be permissible if profits are split percentage wise?

Working for an insurance company

Q: I am working in a general insurance company as a loss adjuster which means that I assess loss of vehicle at the time of claim. Is it halaal or haram for me to work in a general insurance? As per my opinion, I am not in direct sales but I am doing the work which removes gharar from it as I assess the loss and do not allow additions or reductions as per terms. Also, I heard that if a company is owned by a Hindu, we can work in that insurance company.
