    New trivia contest starting for May

    aka Integral. So after I started participating in this quiz I thought it would be fun to set one up for Physicsforums were I am a mod. It took me several months of trying to figure out that I needed different user names for each quiz and yet another for the main funtriva site. I have...

    Vista drops my network gateway IP address

    I have a linksys router with 3 wired computers and 4 wireless. How do I know it drops the gateway address? LOL, because I have to go into network properties and reset it. The field is blank. This has happened on 2 different Vista laptops but not the XP laptop. Nope, not that MS white...

    System dead, but why?

    I inspected for bulged caps, didn't find any. I just replaced 4 caps on an even older Gigabyte vp7 mb, it is now working fine. Since the computer was used for simple browsing and wordprocessor stuff it does not need to be latest and greatest. Does anyone have any input on the stuck power...

    System dead, but why?

    This is a old system which seems to have died for no apparent reason. Abit NF7 / xp2000 cpu / Nvidia 56xx series video card/ antec true power 400w ps. It was sitting off for several weeks, when I tried to power it up I got nothing. It seems that the power supply and the mb are both...

    Vista drops my network gateway IP address

    This seems to happen after a browser hang up, though at least once it seems to have happened for no apparent reason. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a known fix?

    Biggest bonehead mistake you've made when building a PC

    It was about 1992, I was running a knockoff 286 with a wopping 20MB hard drive. In those days all sound went to the tiny tinny case speaker. I decided to upgrade the crappy speaker. Went to Radio Shack and picked up a 4" speaker with a truly awesome magnet. Replacement was going to be eazy. I...

    What is (are) your favorite war(s)?

    Actually most of the lessons they needed where demonstrated in the American Civil War. It was just that the Eureopeans did not give us credit for knowing anything and ignored what there was to be learned. So calling them short sighted is not to far off the mark. I am partial to the Napoleonic...

    Dumbest scam victim ever?

    This is a local story for me. There are 4 towns along 40 miles of US20 here in the central Willamette valley, Corvallis, Albany, Lebanon and Sweet Home. The standard Non PC joke in Corvallis and Albany is: What do you have when you get 4 Sweet Home housewives together...

    We had a first round of layoffs last August, the next one, and the big one, will be next spring. When all is said and done we will go from 7x24 operation with 4 shifts to 5x24 with 3 shifts. Bye Bye OT. :( Overall we will be dropping about 400 jobs. The central Willamette valley is going to...

    Question about SETI

    Hold on a minute! They will no longer broadcast a analog signal. But you will still be able recieve a signal on an antenna, it just will be a digital signal. TV and Radio will still broadcast, so our signal will still be present.

    What will provide the next technological leap?

    Not so, there exists a finite amount of fissiable materials on the earth. Fussion is a long ways off, do not even think that fusion power plants will be coming on line in our lifetime.

    What will provide the next technological leap?

    In order that we continue the technology spiral we must find a clean renewable source of energy. Obviously this means we must learn to capture solar energy. Currently wind generators and hydroelectric are our main harnessers of solar energy (winds would not blow nor would it rain with the sun!)...

    Do Americans know where their families are from?

    50-50 English-German. My German maternal grandfather came to the US through Canada in 1895 when he was a teenager. They took a train across Canada and settled in Oregon with friends from Germany. A few years later my Great grandmother followed with 2 other brothers. Seems GGPa and GGma did...

    One example of what's wrong with America

    The reason someone does not have insurance is becauee they have either no job or a crappy one. It follows that since you have no job you have no money for "extras" Like a visit to the Emergency room. When someone who has no money left at the end of the month gets a bill for $500 to $1000 after...

    Why is it so hard to go to the moon?

    The fact remains that there is NO real reason for a man to return to the moon. It is just for the glory of it all, there is no science a man can do that could not be done with robots and remote sensing, cheaper and better.

    Why is the speed of light our "speed limit"?

    No, not according to Special Relativity. The constancy of c is a POSTULATE of SR. SR is a result of of a constant c. Maxwel's equations are the source of a constant c. It was because of Maxwell's equations that Einstein was able to postulate c.

    can someone explain ROTC

    Years ago, when I faced this choice I reasoned like this: I had no intension of making a career of the military, why should I waste University time taking classes I would not need in the long term. I choose to enlist and serve my 4 years (in 1968 we had a draft ) in the service of my...

    Using a car to measure a mile, is it reliable?

    Can you count to 1000? Count every time your right foot hits the ground, 1000 paces will get you very close to a mile. Also that gives you something to do while running.

    Are the people you work with always grumpy?

    Don't worry...Be happy.. It can always get worse! Consider this. We are looking at a 30% to 45% workforce reduction, a shift realignment that will mean going to a standard 5x8 shift structure away from our current 3x4 12hr shifts. So a complete loss of our built in overtime ie ~25% paycut...

    If you don't mind subtitles, check out The Orphanage. It's a Spanish film by Guillermo Del Toro but well worth the effort.

    How did north become "up"?

    Unless you happen to live on the Nile, the Volga, or the Willamette. I know people who drive UP to Portoland. I suspect they would still be going up to Portland, even if they threw an innertube in the Willamette River and drifted there.

    New Trivia Tournament started!

    Yeah, neither did I. I just opened the quiz when my boss walked up. I mimimized the quiz then after 1000 and some odd seconds opened it to finish. 9 out of 10 was not enough to balance over a 1000 sec! I'll do better. :laugh:
