All right, I'm trying to coordinate installation of a new network-based building lighting controller at my work site. The components are 2 Windows XP computers, 1 in the control room and one in the security office about 200 yards away, and the controller itself which will also be located in the...

The Internet may be almost full up True or false?

Hmmm, is it national security, political intrigue or they just like listening in on phone sex? ;) I'm sure we all feel safer now that Alberto "Tio Taco" Gonzales is aware of the problem. Just joking, Al ;)

.. I want my own webpage. So I have skankarella.blogspot.com, but I want to have it on my own webpage, specifically www.skankarella.com and www.queenskankarella.com. The two could... come together. Anyway, can I just move my blogspot page to one of the above addresses, once I get hosting, or...

I can’t figure out what’s causing this. My wireless connection status says it’s speed is 54 Mbps and signal strength is good. Yet pages are loading like back in the days when I used free modem based connection, actually worse than that! I can barely browse a forum now. I’ve tried both firefox...

Over at DU, I've often been accused of being a plant from a PR company like the Rendon Group, H&K, etc. Of course, I'm not. Still I've often found it true that what people are willing to accuse you of, they're willing to commit. Call it the guilty conscience misdirection tactic. So have Dylan...

Found out about this by a message posted on a router support forum. Apparently a series of earthquakes on Dec 26th or 27th has broken some major lines. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/12/27/061227100430.q1satn81.html

Hello! I'm wondering if some of the brilliant minds here could help me out. I'm looking into possibly starting some sort of educational outreach program here at the Aquarium, using videoconferencing to reach school that are remote, or just out of the geographical area covered by our other...

I moderate at another board that uses the exact same software as this one. For some reason I have lost the buttons for editing, quoting, and starting a new thread. Also, avatars and smilies are not displayed. No one at that board can figure out why. It must be something in PC settings as it...

First, I don´t know much about computers, so sorry if my question shows great ignorance. Ok. I travel quite often between America and Europe, I need to get access to internet and my laptop does not contain the card (?) that allows someone to use wireless internet. My question is, if I buy this...

Myself and some others from the Atheist Network have gotten together and formed a group on youtube.com for freethinkers (skeptics, atheists, agnostics, deists, etc). The goal is to have a group there that can find, rate, and discuss videos that pertain to us. If you're interested, go ahead...

You know how people always threaten to sue each other over the internet? How many times has it actually happened? Aside from the Napster/File-Sharing lawsuits of course. Do you know of any case where someone actually sued someone else over something they posted on the internet or on a message...

I read a blog saying that Congress is "selling the internet". The blog said that in the (near?) future, because of this, many free services will now have a service fee (blog says possibly Google). Is there anything behind this? I haven't been able to find any news articles claiming this, just...

Seems there are heaps of things you can get on the internet these days - websites for damn near anything, email services, forums, blogs, archives, iPhone, etc, etc. But is there anything you think has yet to be realised? Something missing? Or are there any services that you think are really...

...just downloaded this (freely available, but you need to have a validated copy of windows XP). It looks much nicer that the old version (looks disturbingly similar to firefox actually). I seemed to have problems with page loading speed, especially with the phishing filter turned on. I also...

My brother recently changed apartments, and he's having a horrible time trying to connect back up with the internet. He's using Netscape internet dialup service. Anyhoo, the modem on the other end picks up, and they start hand-shaking... for 45 sec! Then the dialer hangs up, tries a differant...

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) -- A summit focusing on narrowing the digital divide between the rich and poor residents and countries opened Wednesday with an agreement of sorts on who will maintain ultimate oversight of the Internet and the flow of information, commerce and dissent. The World Summit on...

The UN seeks to exercise governance over the internet. It's a bad idea for a few reasons, not the least of which is as an avenue to raise money. The UN cannot tax it's member nations, it must extract donations and dues. It seems to me that governance of the internet would give the UN a way to...

hello. Nice to see a section to share links. I am new here, and my interests here are regarding a possible challenge to Randi and Co regarding 'Qi', as i am working with a Theoritical Physicist formally from Cal Tech who can manipulate 'Qi' and can also explain it through a hypothesis he put...

From a BBC report from today (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4630457.stm ) Here's the big chance for Dr. MAS to show his mettle. I can just see the headlines: Dr. MAS applies homeopathic remedy (Arnica 20C) to fix fault in undersea cable. Awarded lifetime membership of the...

I heard this on NPR yesterday and thought that it was interesting. The year was 1967. It was an Islamist futurist in Yeman that said it.....just joking. It was LBJ. http://www.cpb.org/about/history/johnsonspeech.html

I read an article on slashdot that Internet hunting may be banned in some states in the US. Internet hunting? Now I'm no hunter, but I don't have a big downer on those who get their pleasure from killing bambi either. But come on guys. At least get your fat ass out into the woods...

Access Tivo over internet...-solved I have 2 SA series 2 tivo's. I have a linksys wrt54g router. I have a dyndns account set up to go to one of the tivo's. I can't seem to figure out any of the port forwarding, etc... to be able to access both of the tivo's. Also, how would one access the now...

The FEC, as we've discussed here before, may be about to apply the restrictions on free speech and free press that the campaign "reform" laws comprise onto the Internet, the last bastion of free speech in our society. A bill, S.678, is currently going through the Senate. This bill, an absolute...

Anyone used "OnSpeed" - internet accelerator? http://www.onspeed.com/en/?A=CJ&AID=10306975&PID=1401972 Anyone tried it? If so any comments? I have broadband but also do a lot of browsing via GPRS so interested primarily in that.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The popularity of distance education has spread from colleges to earlier grades, as students in more than one-third of U.S. school districts take courses over the Internet or through video conferences, according to the first federal study of the issue. From social studies and...

The view/text size setting only very infrequently works. I can alter the text size in all other browsers ok, why not explorer?? :mad: And why doesn't it have tabbed browsing??

We all know Godwin's law (from Wikipedia): This is fine and good but does not cover other, more annoying, eventualities. To help add structure and understanding to internet communications, I hereby propound a new law, to be called: In essence, this law states that a thread is effectively...
