Reply to A Question About Wired Networking. in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

I see that most have answered your direct questions, I will throw some more things out there for you. Instead of running wires all over the place (My wife made me pick up all my wires), look at using existing wires to connect to your hub/switch or wireless. Wireless you can buy a wireless bridge that a wire form the TV runs to and then connects wirelessly to your WAP. (so the bridge sits next to your TV) Not bad if they are in close pr

There are far more followers than leaders. How could it happen? It starts with dehumanizing them. If they are not human, it is no different than putting dogs and cats down. Once you break the barrier of humanity, the rest becomes easy.

Everyone on your contacts list receives an e-mail supposedly from you with nothing in the subject line, an often cryptic or unusual message or no message at all, and a link for the recipient to click.

Reply to Heart Attack at 28 in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

My brother was 36 when he had one. We do not have a history of it, so it was quite unexpected. And as I am 15 years older than he, I was a bit concerned as well. But I give blood every 8 weeks. 7 years ago, the vampires told me I had Hypertension. So I have been treating it ever since. Then my Cholesterol got a bit high (which my family does have a history of), but I am fortunate in that I am treating it with diet and Niacin (no Statins - I discusse

I guess if someone is going to hack you, they will do it from a browser. But I noticed that Yahoo does not have either the POP logins or the Android ones (I have them both set for 15 minutes and it did login, but it only showed my browser gadget that logs in every 10 minutes).

[quote who="jackswift85" reply="77" id="3328544"]I think the argument is less "everyone should have a yacht" and more "the American businessmen who have yachts are not investing in their American employees or creating more American jobs".[/quote] Probably for the same reason you mow your own lawn, instead of hiring a landscaping service to do it. When you penalize someone for doing something, they will stop doing it. And that is how the tax laws are structured here.

Reply to Intellectual dishonesty today in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Whether feigned or not, the difference is stark. They vigorously defend the illegal killing of American citizens, and decry the successful execution of a war not started by the US. IN short, they are against everything American. They mourn a man who destroyed a democracy, and revile a man who helped preserve one.

[quote who="klaxton499" reply="45" id="3327254"] Dr. Guy, You bring up an interesting point for discussion. However, with all due respect, I think the presentation doesn't assume a static pie. He speaks in percentages. Thus, enlarging the pie doesn't necessarily elevate the bottom quarter of the population. This is the argument the presenter is trying to make. Growth alone can't solve this issue.[/quote] Klaxton - I understand
