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.
Russell.
Would I be right in thinking that a higher gain antenna will pick up more networks, but that those additional networks may be causing interferance with the one I wish to connect to.
And so a directional antenna with a lower gain may be more suitable.
And yes, its client side.
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.

The point I was making is that tracking an IP is only as good as your ability to associate that IP with a user, and a real person.
I have been using batterymon to check current power usage and its fairly constant..
Intrestingly at 5% and 6% capacity left it lasts twice as long as at any other percentage of capacity.
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 normal behaviour.
I thought Li-ion cells had a constant discharge rate.
Thanks.
There is no evidence to support having company details on the package of a pen drive generates any business.
I am curious if content fixed on the media may produce some better results.

Hi,

In 12 years of using HDD's in various computers I had my first failure a few months back, but it was two 160GB WD drives which failed within days of each other.

Hi,
Aero works great when I am connected to the AC.
But when I switch to battery Vista turns it off.
How can I turn it back on.
The normal going to appearance menu doesnt work, no aero option exists.

I have a different wifi card but have the exact same issue. The only way I have gotten it to work is to disconnect and reconnect. But after a reboot the same thing occurs.
Moduslink are a joke, they have ignored multiple emails from me.
I wrote to microsoft to complain. 3 days later I had a phone call and all was resolved.
I have a UK phone number which gets through to a human..... if anyone wants it.

Maths teachers seem to like the idea that no such thing exists as a random nunber.
I disagree.
Hi,

Any other...

A gadget which shows a snapshot of minimized windows, like when you hover over the taskbar in vista. With the ability to launch windows from the sidebar. A bit like the program launcher is Mac OS X.

The thing is, you can get expresscard docking stations but the graphics cards in them are very poor.
Hi,
I need to connect a PCI graphics card to my notebook.
Does anyone make a PCI to PC Card (New PCMCIA interface) adaptor.
Basically I want to get a second DVI output to go into a 30" dell screen.
USB isnt fast enough.
I have fixed the problem,
I installed the updated vista Sony DLL's package and Power management software.
If this doesnt fix it, its possibly related to NOT pressing Undock on the docking station before shuting down / removing from dock.
I did both at the same time so dont know which...
