Re: DSL to wireless device?

All WAPs are routers that lack the switch, for around the same price.

What bubba said is probably the best way if you are stuck with a modem/router combo.

I'd personally get a stand-alone modem and a router, but most ISP's are lazy.

Re: DSL to wireless device?

the easiest thing would be to straight-up replace your current router with one that has wireless.

Re: Can you hear the difference?

If are going to re-rip your CDs, then a lossless format would be ideal, cause now your have your CDs in an archival format, and only need to do it once. To also put it more sombrely, you might hear a difference now, but you won't later. Hearing does go with age, unless you were babying your ears you...

You never presented anything to address Duper's concerns. You just busted out some logical fallacies.

Re: Wireless works great on phone, horrible on PC - new equi

Cell phones are, unsurprisingly, designed for wireless connectivity. It also has the advantage of not having its antenna's on the back end of a large metal case.

try pointing the antennas on the PC straight out, parallel to the ground.

Re: laptop brand opinions??

the i7 and i5 come with integrated graphics, the downside it uses system ram rather than dedicated video ram. the HD4000 is a perfectly reasonable piece of DX9 hardware, and it has open source drivers.

If you want to crysis, you need a laptop with a dedicated video card.

Re: Help me understand HP vs Torque

torque is technically force expressed thru angular momentum, eg work over radians per second.

Horsepower is force expressed thru rotational momentum,eg work over rotations per minute.

the horsepower formula that duper posted assumes you already know what the torque is.

Re: Thunderbird Email screen

any spot to the right of the tabs in thunderbird can be used to drag the window. The area under the minimize/maximize/close button also works.

beyond that, you should move the start bar back to the bottom of the screen, or disable start bar auto-hiding.

Re: open letter to the GOP

No, you need the revenue first, then you can tackle cutting spending, then reduce tax rates.

That means in the end, taxes have to go up for everyone, and not go down as much.
