Games.com has chess. I play scrabble and monopoly there a lot.

I can't imagine it would help. The data still has to go through the modem, so you'd still get the packet loss you had before. If you get a good router, things should stay the same. If you get a cheap router, it may slow things down.

Yes! That's the exact picture I was talking about. I can't remember where I saw it originally, don't think it had that URL on the bottom. Oh well, this will have to do.

I saw a picture online not too long ago. It was a computer mouse with a woman's hand on it, and somehow it looked really dirty, like the woman was touching herself, but it was only the mouse. If anyone has the pic, or a link to it, I'd appreciate it.

Whatever user name you use on the win98 machine, make a user on the win2k machine with the same name. I don't know if the password matters, you can try leaving it blank on the win2k machine, but if it doesn't work, then set the password on the win2k user to the same PW you use on the other one ...

I like Pixie Sticks. They're the closest thing to pure sugar. Plus they have a funny name. You can say pixie's d*cks and it sounds the same.

I think they're going off the assumption that the coins are fair. Most math and statistics problems do. Theoretically, out of 20 tosses, you'd get 10 of each. So heads:tails would be 10:10, or you can reduce it to 1:1. In English, that basically means for every head you get, you'd get one tail ...

Well, I'm on 2k, not XP, so your problems don't apply to me. The only problem I have is that somehow or another, it makes the sound quieter. When I reboot with music playing, it gets significantly louder right before it exits windows. I'm assuming that means that it exits whatever program is ...

We live in a somewhat rural area here, so technology gets here slowly. We have ELN DSL. The only other choice for high speed access is RR. I don't know how it compares in our area, in terms of price, speed, or reliability. I know a friend who has RR. He loves the speed, but says he has problems a ...

I think while I was home, we got like 5 rings, so probably like 10 kids. There may have been more while I was at blockbuster, Kmart, Sonic, or Backyard Burgers, but my parents were here to open the door, so it's all good. It was kind of depressing though. Where I grew up in Ohio, we ran from house ...

I've never heard of that (lactaid posioning, and specifically it causing you to squirt anything out through your nipples). All I know is that mass quantities of milk give me the runs. But chocolate milk is the shiznit.

I think we pay $39.95 for 512/128 kbps

To go from mega- to kilo-, multiply by 1000. To go from bits to bytes, divide by 8. This works for connection speeds, like megabits per sec, kilobytes per sec, etc. as well as file sizes. So to go from 2 Mbps to kBps, multiply by 1000 and then divide by 8, or ...

The last time I felt really alive was when I was in NYC visiting friends last week. It was good to be around friends pretty much constantly, catch up, laugh, and just have a good time.

Ok, on the computer that doesn't get internet, assign it the same IP address you're using on the other one, and then turn the one that works off. See if you can get internet on the other one now. You ought to be able to. Assuming you can, the problem is just that you have one IP to use on two ...

I don't really remember, but I think when I got my computer, it was already set up for me. You can check your BIOS settings to make sure it's set for wake on LAN. Aside from that, I don't know. Oh, and make sure that the little power cable thing on the LAN is connected to the motherboard, otherwise ...

ncswimmer

Well, I'm all fine now. I talked to a friend, and he told me I'd have to do a low level reformat I believe, or something like that. I guess that means that it doesn't give a crap about how you have it formatted/partitioned, and how they're screwed up, it will just do what you want it to. I ...

I had the same problem about a year ago. I checked the case fan, and that wasn't the problem. I unplugged it, and the noise was still going. I could tell just from where the general area where the sound was coming from was that it wasn't from the PSU. It turns out it was the fan on my video card ...

ncswimmer

Aside from the quality issues, the USB NIC should theoretically be fine, since most cable and DSL modems only have a 10 Mbps connection on the LAN side anyway, and furthermore, the fastest connection you'll get on them will probably be significantly less than the 10 Mbps. That means that you should ...

I'm thinking, as long as the ISP you use for your personal connection uses the same, or compatible equipment, the easiest thing to do might be to have the personal DSL connection on one phone line, and the company DSL on another phone line. Then, when you want to switch to your personal account from ...

Go with what YOS said. Your mileage may vary, but I think most ISPs charge about $5/month for an extra IP addess. This is cheaper if you only need to do it for a few months, but in the long run, you'll probably save money by buying a router. And if you get a second IP, you'll still need to buy a hub ...

ncswimmer

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what I think you're saying is that your phones are wired with RJ45 cables instead of RJ11, right? But the phones still have RJ11 plugs, like standard phones, right? That probably means that the extra wires are there in the walls, but they aren't connected to the wall ...

ncswimmer

Well, without buying a router/hub/switch, you need to buy one more NIC. Put two NICs in one computer, and one in the other. In the one with two NICs, you'll have to install routing software (also called internet connection sharing, or ICS). Then you hook the modem to the computer with two NICs, and ...

ncswimmer

The uplink port isn't only for connecting to hubs, etc. but that's usually the way you do it. You just don't HAVE to. You can connect a computer, just use a crossover cable instead of a straight cable. But you probably want to connect the uplink port to the modem, and then the computers to the ...

I thought Bandits was really good. I didn't realize it was going to be as much of a comedy as it was, but that's ok. Comedies are good.

And I too would like to see Kpax. I think Kevin Spacey is great.

Ok, I've given up and have decided to reinstall win2k. I figure I'm going to make the C: partition bigger anyway, so I might as well reformat and repartition. What size should I make the C: partition? I'd like to make it big enough that I can confortably have win2k on it, with a couple users, and ...

ncswimmer

I was, but I had no idea what to do from there. I can't uninstall Norton AV or Tiny because they're both on a different drive. My C: drive only has win2k on it, nothing else. And it wouldn't let me change to a different drive. So then I tried the built in repair thing, rather than the console. That ...

It boots from the floppy first, then hard drive, and then CD. I changed it so that it boots from the CD first now, and it seems to booting to the CD fine now. Hopefully I should be able to repair or reinstall windows from there now.

ncswimmer

I'm not able to boot up, even from a CD. It boots normally, shows the win2k splash screen, and then the BSOD stop error pops up. I'm fortunate in that my E drive has all my MP3s, videos, etc. on it, the D drive is empty I think, except for maybe adobe acrobat reader, and the C drive only has win2k ...

ncswimmer

Ok, my computer is more screwed up than previously thought. I tried putting the Win2k disk in and booting from that, but that didn't work either. I still get that error. I really have no idea how to fix this.

ncswimmer

Did you read my whole post? Safe mode doesn't get me past the error, and I don't know how to check the disk space without getting into windows. There's no driver listed in the error. And I don't know if I can update my BIOS with things as they are.

Anyone? I'm stuck using the other computer, which is slower, and doesn't have any of my stuff on it.

My computer gets a stop error when I'm trying to boot up now. I downloaded and installed a DAT file for Norton AV 2001, and then I rebooted my comp, and now it won't boot up. Don't know if the two are related or not, as I've gotten the error before. I think I first started getting the error after I ...

Pretty incredible, eh? I don't even know how to solve Rubik's Cube on my own, let alone write a computer program to do it for me. Make a robot that solves it, with an actual cube? Forget about it. Way, way, way too much time on his hands.

I wear Levi's. I have a pair of regular ones, I don't remember which number, and a pair of silver tabs. And jeans are very comfortable once they've been washed a few times. I had to wear black jeans at a couple of my jobs though, and for some reason, they're a lot stiffer than ...

Check out this article on the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/11/technology/circuits/11RUBI.html It's about a guy who made a Lego robot that can solve a Rubik's Cube (the cube with each face divided into a 3x3 grid, and when solved, each face is a different color). The robot holds an actual ...

I use Norton AV 2001. I check for new DAT files pretty much daily, but they usually aren't available that often. But I think it checks automatically for me daily anyway. It runs in the background constantly, and I think it does a complete scan every Friday.
