    Router to Hub to Many - Except One...help please

    Hi. I have an Asus AC1900 router with 2' of Cat5e connecting it to my cable modem. My Comcast speed is "up to" 150 Mbps. The router connects to a 5-port Netgear Hub with Cat5e at about 20' in length. From the hub, I have Cat5e running to a laptop, to another laptop, to an Xbox One, and my PC...

    Camping - Wifi to collect photos

    Hi. I was without Internet service for the past while, thus I haven't responded. @azazel1024 your thought is what I went with; I have two routers with USB 2 for two external drives each. I am not even a networking novice, but it only took about 20 minutes. It worked well and did exactly...

    Camping - Wifi to collect photos

    What do you propose is the best way to setup a Wifi intranet at a remote campsite so everyone can wirelessly upload their photos to a hard drive? It's four days and I know my phone will run out of space due to photos, and I anticipate that the other 30 people will have the same problem, thus I...

    Learning Java

    I want to develop/program and Java is by far the most handy, least expensive, readily available language I have. Everything is a download away, so it's not like I live by the Java store on Main or something. Will tell me about the fundamentals please? This is what I was looking for...

    Learning Java

    I'm looking for something to do - Java is in everything, and there are tons of resources for learning. I didn't know certification in in Java (or anything it sounds like) is not near as important as experience, which is how it is and should be around any available job. Thanks to all of you for...

    Learning Java

    The Programming forum seems very quiet, so thought it best to post here. I am not a programmer/developer, but a certification will look good on a resume, and will help me in conversations and meetings with development peopled. I'm bored with my current position and am looking to move within the...

    2014-2015 TV Death Watch

    I realize this thread is for shows that gave it a whirl and didn't make it, but I wanted to mention that Justified ended too, but not by request. The main writer, who's books created the main character, story line, etc., passed away toward the end of last season and that was it. They had plenty...

    If you could ask a mafia boss for a favor, what will it be?

    Tons of fun can be had before a heart attack. I came close enough to end up in the ER six years ago. Didn't have a heart attack, but I was 39 weighed 249 (all muscle) drank beer, the party would start Thursday night, work Friday, party hard Friday night, all day Saturday, and Saturday night. It...

    2014-2015 TV Death Watch

    Did/does anyone else struggle with the acting in Falling Skies? Is it better now than it was in season 2? I thought the story like was great, the writing was mediocre (it's damn hard to write a good script, so no offense to the writers,) but the acting and directing sucked. The ER guy is...

    Best credit card for flight miles? Card-specific or Airline-specific?

    I was with Delta for years, then I had to fly United due to some error, so I signed up for their mileage plan and on that page, I believe, there was an ad for a Chase United Mileage card that offered 30k miles after I spent $2k, which wasn't difficult :) then for each dollar you spend you...

    everyone is tweeting their salary with #talkpay

    What you make in a year includes everything, thus it is plausible that the $700k includes his/her stock, stock options, bonus, and salary. Most stock options are restricted and not "liquid." I'd like to know the salaries. I'm betting in the $180k - $220k for top Engineers, which is a shit ton of...
