Hi,
Parabolic wifi antennas normally are made up of a grid with spaces between rather than a solid dish.
Why is this. And why are satalite dishes not the same.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have changed from a standard antenna to a 15" 9db version as my wifi signal is very weak.
However I get exactly the same signal quality from the better antenna. I do however see twice as many networks with the new antenna.
Any ideas why ?
Thanks.
Hi, A few months ago engadget had a story about a company making satalite dish shaped wifi antennas.
A company rather than home made devices.
Anyone have the link, ive tried but cant find it. Google comes up with loads of home made ones.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have a li-ion battery in my notebook.
It discharges much faster from 100% to 85% than from say 50% to 35%.

Is this the total or per port.
Or do some computers have say 2 channels each at 480mbps and split each to say 5 ports.
Thanks.
Hi,
I currently have a 24" 1920 x 1200 res lcd.
I would live something 26" with 2800 X 1600 region in resolution.
But when you go above 24" they all have lower HDTV type resolutions.
The DELL 30" is no good as its DVI in only.
My 17" notebook screen has 1920 x 1200.

Hi, My Sony vaio runs XP.
After I uninstalled a HID device called Sony Control Center , at Sony's request due to a simple mouse fault my comp runs at 100% CPU usage after boot up all the time, and so runs VERY slowly.
Windows re installed the device at bootup.
Any ideas.
Thanks.
Why arnt LCD's in notebooks inserted upside down ?
If they were, the excess light which tends to emit upwards would emit downwards and illuminate the keyboard for dark enviroments.
I have a laptop which has 3 USB ports.
Does that mean it has 3 X 480Mbps or 1 port that allows three items to be plugged in directly.
I intend on using a USB to VGA device which would eat all the 480mbps and then some.
Cheers.

Hi,
Looking at swapping my desktop AMD 64 3200+ for a notebook using Pentium M 2ghz (Pentium M 760).
Anyone know what level of performance hit I will take.
Both 2Gigs of ram ect.
Basically used for surfing the web, graphic design ect. No gaming.
2 x Kingston ValueRAM 1GB 184Pin DIMM PC3200 DDR Non-Parity CL3
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Socket 939 512KB Inc Fan
MSI K8N NEO 4 PLATINUM S939 nForce4 Ultra ATX A L R
As above, all the HD projectors seem to have HDMI input and not DVI.
If I want to connect a normal comp as a film server what do you guys do.
I cant find a graphics card with HDMI out.
Any ideas anyone.
Cheers.
