    RESnet workaround

    Hey folks, I'm a new grad student at a "top-flight" research University living in an on campus dorm. For whatever reason the school says you can only have one pc on the network, no hubs or routers allowed. Naturally having two computers I'd like to workaround this if possible. My solution...

    **HEY! It's done! With PICS!! (see orig post)** What bit/method to countersink a nut in stone? (more)

    You're not going to be able to get a counterbore with standard drill bits. My suggestion would be to get some feet of some sort, you could use almost anything, that will allow enough depth under the paver for the nut. Then epoxy these to the four corners of the paver. If you really just...

    What to do with a friend who messed up your speakers?

    When it comes down to it, it depends what's more important to you the sub or the friend? Now, of course your friend *should* want to help you fix your sub or something, but this may also hurt your friendship.

    FBI Warns of Possible Scuba Diver Terror Attacks

    I'm wondering if there weren't these warning previously before Sept 11th, and this is the only time the media is picking up every one. I can't quite see how the suicide scuba diver would be a real threat to the populous, maybe a potential risk to naval vessles, though I don't really know.

    What should I go to college for?

    It's a quality school, but since you're from Texas it's understandable you haven't heard of it. An IT degree here is typically coupled with some other form of engineering degree, computer systems for example.

    Microsoft just doesn't get it, do they?

    Most people probably don't use hotmail, most people probably don't say they're 3 years old. This isn't a worthwhile rant, better luck next time. ;)

    If I put some vents (neatly) on a closet door, will my apartment complex bill me when I leave?

    Personally I don't think having straight vents in the door will do anything. To get any real benefit you'd have to have a circulation fan as well. It would stop the closet from getting real hot, but even with the vents it will still get warmer imho.

    Is this true? only 5% of americans have passports?

    Well seeing as we can travel nearly all of the north American continent with a driver's license I think the geographical argument holds much much more water.

    Congressman urges Bush to donate proceeds from photo to Sept. 11 victims

    I don't see what the issue is of the photo at all. It's a picture of him talking on the phone, it's not like a picture of him in front of ground zero or something. You're getting confused, Bush is a republican president.
