The people on Tech TV are dangerous, they reccomended running Cat5 outside.

Obviously people here haven't seen the results of a high lightning strike area. My mother lives on the top of a hill in rural PA. As of about 2 months ago, I have picked through the remains of 4 computers layed to shambles by phone line connections to modems. This has happened after the phone...

Windows 2000 Trojan?

Backweb is a nifty little program that some trojans use to "control" your computer. If you didn't install SP2 for windows 2000, you have most likely been infected. SP2 corrected alot of the insecurities with win2000. I would suggest a format and reinstall. Especially since it seems that you...

Wow, who doesnt want this?

NO, NO, NO. In my house, there are some places multimedia should not make it to. One being the bedroom, the other being the bathroom. I could stand for a little music, but no TV.

Question From a Webserving Noob: Will my webserver eat that ****?

Do a search for thttpd on a search engine. It is a very nice webserver for low end hardware and small harddrives. It should run on TinyLinux. For basic static pages, you should be fine. If I were you, I would fire it up and give it a try. I'm pretty sure Steinkeuler of Linux Router Project...

why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free

Well I have something with my GF that is way more binding than a marriage. It's called a 30 year mortgage. She says I can leave anytime I want, as long as I send her the mortgage payment. I think marriage is a commitment between 2 people. It doesn't have to be official to anyone but the 2...

Is it legal to share a DSL connection with roomate using own router?

There are ways for them to tell if you are using a router. The question is will they take the time. It would also be very hard to enforce, because you could just be using the router as a firewall for one machine. The bottom line is that if it is against their TOS and they check, you will most...

how often should rotors be rotated/replaced?

It's not really the amount of time, but the mileage and type of driving that you do. If it's mostly highway driving with very little breaking you can go a long time between brake changes. City driving is a lot worse. I have a small economy care and I change the brake pads about once every 50K...

In this age of "digital everything", why do we still see movies on/from film?

Of course MAXIVISIONS website will tell you its the best. Would you expect anything less. It's not all about resolution though. Edit: You can prbably tell by now that I like digital. Film should be leaps and bounds better than digital. It's been around for about 80 years more.

In this age of "digital everything", why do we still see movies on/from film?

OK, here's some optics info. Visual acuity or resolution is defined in terms of the smallest angular size of the smallest letter that can be recognized. Let's take 20/20 vision as the baseline. This means that we can distinguish elements that subtend 1 minute of arc at a distance of 20 feet...

Is this secure enough?

The correct answer is the only thing that is secure enough is disconnecting your machine from the net and locking it in a vault. If I were you, I would read some info on firewalling. Google search can be very good for this. It helps immensely to be informed. Zonealarm is pretty good at...

**HEY! It's done! With PICS!! (see orig post)** What bit/method to countersink a nut in stone? (more)

As long as you hold the diamond bits steady, you will be able to countersink with them. A drill press and clamp will do wonders to help with this. If you use 2 drill bits, the counterbore will have a conical bottom. This will actually act like a clamp, holding the nut in place. Edit: I...

You can use 2 different drill bits for this. I would probably go to the local home center and search through the tool section. Diamond coated drill bits would be very good for this, but pretty expensive. You might find something with the tool for working ceramic tile.
