    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...

    What first world problem did you have today?

    The United app and the app required by my employer for travel are not synching up with each other, so one shows the seat upgrade I paid for and the other doesn't.

    Cannot update and save my sig

    current sig ----------------------------------- "You are young and you are the future, so suck it up and tough it out; be the best you can." ~ John Cougar I hadn't thought of invalid characters so that semicolon and the tilde might be an issue? Thanks for your help.

    College tuition

    I didn't see any real numbers, so I think this thread can use some real life current dollar amounts. I am in the process of enrolling my child at Utah State University. Middle of the road, good school, but middle of the road at best. It is a small school in a small town that survives on the...

    Cannot update and save my sig

    On the User CP, the option to create, update, change, edit my signature is available. I have a sig already, so I want to add a quote, so I am separating the two sig's with a dashed line, like so: ---------------------------------- then I enter my new sig here which is a quote, so "Blah Blah" ~...

    I've been so busy this week that I haven't tried any of the suggestions yet, so thank you for adding this! You may be interested to know that it is a Norton product that we receive as part of our Internet package with Comcast. I do not know if they modify the Norton code in any way, but...

    Diagnose and Possible Repair: $$?

    Hi. I have a local business owner that has asked if I would look at his three work computers and tell him why they are doing this and that and then what the solution is and what it will take. He insists on paying me, so what is a fair rate per hour when troubleshooting and fixing? I think the...

    Old laptop but running

    Hi. I recently did a fresh instal of Win7 on a Dell 1501 laptop. It was given to me years ago and I ordered a larger HD, more RAM 4GB, and gave it to my daughter. It worked just fine, but slowed and such over the years. I bought her a new laptop and took this Dell, ordered a new battery and...

    FRIENDS vs How I Met Your Mother - Which is better?

    Friends, in my opinion, by far. The writing and timing of the actors were so good. It was a solid hit. My kids watch it now on Netflix (I think) so it's still going strong. How I Met Your Mother stayed on the air because of Doogie, who is a fantastic actor and funny as hell. The rest of the...

    Question about Vietnam war

    It's personal to me, too, but in a different way. I wasn't old enough to understand the war as it was happening, but, somehow it feels like I was part of it and I don't know why - felt that way since I can remember. My parents told me when I was around one to two years old I was glued to the CBS...

    Question about Vietnam war

    Tell your nephew to get his history book (assuming this is a high school History class) and find the chapter he's supposed to have read and read it out loud to/with him and talk about it as you go. The info to write the paper is all in that chapter. That's what the teacher is expecting. I'm...

    Fill in the blank with dick cheney!

    Bush/Cheney won the White House two times in a row. "Nobody's that crazy or naive, right?" Two fucking terms they won the White House. One could argue that the GOP cheated (Carl Rove,) but regardless, they were voted in, so yes, there are a MAJORITY of crazy naive people that watch Fox News all...

    NOW CLOSED ; List some movies you've watched recently. Theatre, rental, TV... and give a */10

    I watched the last episode of Justified last night. Justified was probably my favorite show, but when the writer dies, the stories die with him. Although I think they could have kept it going for another season or two. First to second-to-last seasons: 10/10 The writing was fantastic. Last...

    Why can't we change?

    And the answer to the question "why can't we change?" from the OP, we are in constant change. The only thing that is constant in this life is change.
