    Stuck in my Cube

    If they are the non pro variety(which I assume it is), i have seen them fanless. but if the heatsink was the kind made specificly for a fan then it might not cool well enough without the airflow. I was pretty disappointed with a saphire ATi card I got not too long ago. it was suposed to be...

    Stuck in my Cube

    why is there a fan on a vid card in a server? I always go fo fanless models for 24/7 machines that are expected to "just run". Onboard if I can... Those 40mm fans die within a year usually.. if they make it 2 years I'm lucky.

    well, you have to keep it completely anonymous or completely straight forward. Best make up your mind now.

    My new neighbor: The most evil man on earth

    maybe you should talk to him. Let him know that is network is insecure and offer to fix it for him. Do it in such a way as to allow yourself a better connection whie you're at it. One thought, my gear lets me use channel 14 if i want to. I know it's not FCC allowed, but perhaps that would yield...

    Married Student Housing wireless network

    yeah, I realize it's alot. But, it's well within the maximum allowed and it is still faster than dialup. I know with dialup, most providers had 1 line for every 3 customers (at best).. for high speed everybody can be connected at once, but actual usage will probably be like 1 out of every 3...

    Definitions of regions

    If you're form Kansas you will say you're from the midwest. Half the country is west of here.... Kansas City has the plaza, it's a nice place with a few interesting buildings, shops, restraunts (cheese cake factory is a favorite) and some nice fountains. just a block away is the Nelson-Atkins...

    Need a TV - help please

    Guide plus is a nice feature in a TV. Additionally make sure it has enough inputs in the back for your devices (game consoles, DVD, etc). I'd spec 2 sets of inputs at a minimum. Component video is nice but S-video would suffice. Personally, i'd goto a couple stores and pick what looks best in...

    Definitions of regions

    anything with The rocky mountains or west thereof is considred west in my book. Kansas, Nebraska, the dakotas, missouri, Ohoio, Indiana are mid-west. Arazona, new mex are south west. Texas and oklahoma etc are south. which leaves about half states in the east.

    Definitions of regions

    i think some of the confusion comes from the fact that ohio, michigan and indiana all used to be in the west, and then the US was expanded further and further. West, midwest, east, SW, etc are all very loose terms.

    I assume standard construction of sheetrock and studs.. do you know if they are metal studs (bad for wireless) or wood? btw, that's been my experience with every apartment I've been in.. the hallways is noisey, but once you're in the apartment it's pretty quiet.

    how many buildings, how far apart are each building and what is the total area to be covered? (an overlay of a zooomed in street map would be uber cool and would probably be necessary in order to do a proper site survey)

    Finally….someone who broke ‘the code‘

    wow, that's surprising. But I have to agree about the "immigrants in their own country" statement. It's not just lower income blacks. I think all people should strive to better themselves, or at a minimum not drag down society.

    I've been thinking of talking to the other tennants of my apartment building to see if they're interested in paying me a few dollars a month for the service of letting them use my wireless AP to connect to the internet. I get enough range to cover my building and the 2 adjacent ones without...

    Suggestions for automating some tasks

    Is the reason for copying files to CD sized individual folders for backup purposes? If so there is a program, "Simply safe backup 2004". They have a free edition that will backup a folder to CD sized chunks and can easily be told to backup only new/changed files since the last backup. Even...

    WiFi astonishment

    somebody probably thought they needed an AP to go with their computer(s)... or possibly the AP is configured as a switch and would not have a WAN IP. If there is no DHCP server on the network assigning you an IP you could try to guess the IP information.
