Oh its possible all right, but dedicated wireless swithches, i believe are more expensive than all in one solutions as they are less popular. Perce

hmm your cell is GSM yes (or sprint, PCS AKA sprint screwed up GSM standard) ... in any case a cell phone tranmits and recives information from the local cell tower.. its your speakers that SUCK if they recive this signal and bost it. Actually they dont suck. This is quite a big issue, any non sheilded wire will act like an antenna, including speaker cable... so unless your up their with being able to afford specialist equipment along with $5/meter for sheilded cable, on a 5.1 surround sound system, then everybody has this problem.

You could try using DMZ (DE MILITARIZED ZONE). Its bascially putting you directly on the connection. You will no longer be protected by NAT so youll need to have your firewall enabled. DMZ can be enabled on most routers, check your manual to see how to set it up. Pierce

Ive noticed a method of how developers limit copying is by introducing errors. Such as DVD's, when your playing a dvd it just skips right over it, but then if your copying it it just errors. Try copying the game at a slower speed or in a different drive. Pierce

If he has access to cpanel or plesk on that server, they will usualy generate a full downloadable backup for the user, contact your hosting provider for more information. Pierce

And nobody thought to as if your using the beta interface yahoo is playing around with at the moment? If your on the beta interface try seeing if you can switch back to "normal" or pre-beta. Hope that helps. Pierce

Wireless routers have wired ethernet ports that you need. They are wonderfull all in one devices now, that connect wireless and wired devices. Be sure to get one that connects between wireless lan, and wired lan, 3com's adsl router (i know you have cable), wireless doesnt communicate with wired, but my D-Link and my Linksys do. As well, considering your buying a new one, consider one with strong firewall support and expandability (like attach an aerial for stronger wi-fi if you need it), i would assume your also looking for one that supports the G protocoll 802.11g, and 802.11b.

Install it into the machine, set the bios etc etc, windows should pick it up. Then go -> Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Switch to classic view(in xp) -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management In that program go to Storage -> Disk Management It should show you the different drives, Your hard drive 80GIG Westeren Digital HD, should show up, under the main drive, without a partition, or grey. This is a fairly powerful program and can rename drive letters to format and split up partions on a drive and do wierd and wonderfull things to currently working drives. Righ

As with anything, everything is good for you in moderation. If your drinking 40 cups of the stuff a day, then its not soo good for you. Pierce

Yeah, its the love hate relationship all webdesigners have. Now just making css work over 3 browsers, 3 different os's and multiple resoultions equals 3 browsers X 3 oses x 20 different resolutions x 10 different types of internet connections x 10 different versions of each browser = 18000 possible combinations you have to cater for /me puts gun to head and squeezes trigger Pierce

I had a quick glance over it, with my hate relationship of wiki i dont think its even worth putting energy into, but i must say the article looks way more inviting now to read, than just a massive list of crap. I hope the energy you put into it is worth it. Pierce

Quite a few tricks come from previous versions, like Ctrl + Alt + Del was considered a developer easter egg in windows 95. Generaly most keyboard shortcuts that exist in xp should work in previous versions of windows. I think its a good point to highlight which versions of windows these tricks are being tried and tested on. Its hard to believe that even in 2003 windows 98 still had a 14% share of the market (windows xp came out late 2001). Check out the w3c survey http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp Even today, windows 98 is only .5% behind linux and thats a 7 year old OS! Pie

i agree with joe, if his data is so personal he cant upload it, then he should backup everything first. CD and DVD drives are cheap these days. Pierce

Nice, ive worked on a computer completly coroded by salt. That was fun, metal just melted away from my fingers. Everything wasnt just rusted, but was being held together by 1 or 2 molecules of rust. Pull the powersupply plug from the hdd, and the head goes with it..... Pierce

None the less, its an exe, compiled for windows, unless somebody has created a hybrid executable for windows/linux it definatly did nothing to the system. Pierce

I use freeBSD for my servers, it just works so... flawlessly. For everyday though, i use windows, simply because its easy. Okay you have to maintaine it, but you have to do that for linux systems as well, imagin a dirty ports dir with old versions, and an outdated src on BSD? Thats at least an hours work to update all that. I use suse10.0 on my main home system, it took me 2 weeks to get mp3 support in xmms because of licencing laws (okay all i had to do was find the new multimedia packs and install them, but getting around to it was time consuming). And on my main computer, its windows. To be

Im on it now *hint* scroll right.. Pierce

I think, the main problem with most things, is that people take a pill for everything. From a european perspective, when my Dad was in america he had a headach. He wanted a "few" asprins. Over here your lucky to get 12 for $8 or so. But he walked into a shop, and the smallest thing he could get had 200 tablets in it...... The scary thing is, people must be eating asprins to even require a bucket that big. Generally I believe the cause for most problems, is processed food, mixture of medicins, abuse of alcohol, stress, drugs, so on so forth (okay not everybody does everything but you get the pi

Theres also another problem with contact dermatitise. You become alergic to whatever works. So the eventuality is that ill run out of everything that works. Thank god ive been able to get 6 months out of my shedio products without any problems, but my bodywash is starting to not work. I eliminated sodium laurth, sodium layural, DTA's and EDTA's from my lifestyle (yes its in everyting, including toothpaste). Which has helped greatly. I also try to use natural products, that come from nature, as sodium laurth from coconuts i can use, but not manufactured sodium laurth. Basicaly i can sit all i w

And its also highly removable. Think about it, your own computer on a disk you can store in your wallet! okay we were promised this with usb drives, and holographic hard drives are 30c a piece, but unfortunatly the current drive readers is about $3000 a pop, which your not going to find everywhere. It definatly is the medium of the future. The unreal read/write speed is compareable to memory, okay its not quite as fast, BUT imagin having 6 of these drives raided on USB2 or FireWire devices, thats 720MB/s... though of course other limitations do exist.

Got nero? Drag and drop it. It will automagicaly make you a compatible DVD/SVCD/VCD or whatever type of media+format your trying to burn. Pierce

how many boy friends / girl friends have you had in your life. being a geek im only just getting into somewhat of a relationship with a girl disgruntled workers thread ehh, who doesnt hate who they work for? maybe bible should come in pop up book form definatly, too much time to figure and work out all the metaphores i heart Microsoft thread why not use microsoft? Linux is... difficult to get a long with, and thats from somebody using it at least 2 hours a day.
