I note on the product summary for that router:

Short range; not true dual-band; no Gigabit support;

Hmmm, it has an integrated 4 port switch - can you drop cable down (window to window) and connect directly from your machine to theirs. Or connect your stronger wireless and run an extension antenna up to your floor??

Better to use a root cellar (as the name implies, stores roots like potatoes, carrots, onions, etc) as this is a good mid-range storage. Next comes drying which ranges from fruit leathers to pemmican and jerky and on to smoking.

The question is pretty open - does this help?

I remember the James Burke "connections" series and how he traced our telecommunications from the invention of the stirrup - I remember him on top of a hill with a long-sword and a side of beef illustrating that it was more like a hammer than a sword - it opened a whole new world of unintended consequences.

Last night Conan had Shatner do a reading of Palin's 'quitter' speech (she actually said "north to the future") but I am not enough of a sadist to inflict it so here is Stewie instead.

VORTEX ACCUMULATOR BLACK MIRROR

well there is this

I like sparkling water - I used to go through almost a case of Talking Rain per week. Seattle has really good water so I went out and bought a 20 lb bottle of CO2 and now make my own. I put tap water in the fridge to cool (dissolving gas in water is the opposite to dissolving solids - the colder, the more you can dissolve) and when I need more, I just go out into the shed, inject some CO2, and I am good to go.

What with all the Phthalates in plastic bottles and the lack of any rules governing what is in bottled water, why drink it.

I found this.

Buzz Aldrin, finally had enough of the loony moon-landing deniers, punched out a twit that demanded he swear on a stack of bibles that he landed on the moon. The police refused to accept the assault complaint from the twit who whined about how nobody believed him and laughed at him.

I found a nice piece on the MythBusters and the Lunar deniers - note the last few minutes where you get to see Buzz punch the denier out.

There's a band that actually qualifies as industrial metal. Not just a couple plinks on the drum and a few bleeps on a synth in the background(i.e. Rammstein).

Lets see how far off topic this thread will lead itself, today.

I saw an old Einstuerzende Neubauten movie - they were in an old warehouse and were playing a rusty iron spring, a shopping cart, some beat up shrouding, and some weird thing made from old tubes and potentiometers. That was INdustrial

You've mellowed in your old age - I was pretty sure you would choose something more 'Freeper' in tone. I looked for a response then remembered "It does not matter who wins a crap fight - you're both covered in crap". Go ahead and cover yourself.

Congrats AD - though we haven't married yet, we have been engaged for almost 30 years.

[First Man:] I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.

[Establishment:] Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink.

[First Man:] I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.

[Inner Man:] There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
And keep on thinking free.

There is no options for Yes I am a bad community member.

Its the cover from an album by my favourite group "Rammstein" (a German heavy metal band).

The album is called Amerika. The guy in the pic is the lead singer, dressed as a stereotypical capitalist. The title song "Amerika" is a satirical piece about americanisation (in particular peoples resentment on how americanisms are eroding traditional ways), americas view on "freedom", and how they use thier political influence on the world.

You can see the band logo in the bottom right

I especially like the line "This is not a love song" for those USAians too dense to catch up.

Have you discussed the problem with the folks who repaired it?

It sounds like a timing problem in that the firewall is not the first program to load. take a look in RUN msconfig

Well, you could buy a USB extension to bring the base closer. I believe the signal is IR so maybe you could use a signal concentrator (some people say that they improve wireless signals using tin cans with both ends removed).

News of the Weird (gawd, I love life in Seattle):
"Heyyyy, Like 'Arf-Arf,' Man": Nestor Waddell had to rush his 11-year-old Labrador mix, Jack, to the vet in May when he started acting strange during a walk, which had taken him into some bushes. The vet concluded that Jack had discovered and devoured some dry, harvested marijuana. According to Waddell, "(Jack's) eyes were kind of glossed over. ... When he was trying to walk, he was looking at his paw, and then looking at the ground and then trying to get his paw to reach the ground, but was unsuccessful." [KING-TV (Seattle), 6-10-09]

The winter of 1932 was so cold in America that Niagara Falls froze completely solid.

And when the falls stopped, people woke up saying "what's that sound" - it was the sound of silence (and the words of the prophet were written on subway walls)

Depends on whether or not they are stuffed in there or neatly stacked and what denomination they are and the size of the suitcase and it had better not be more than US$10,000.

Hi, Chichou - welcome to DaniWeb.

I love the Japanese restaurant across the street from Hotel Moliere
I am fascinated by the 'poison affair' of Louis XIV
My fascination for Miss-Tic lead me to Jef Aerosol

Currently, most medical insurance companies will not commit to not raising your insurance premiums after you have donated a kidney (heck they won't even offer you free checkups or discount for your altruism).

Homemade bread (the New Times no-knead recipe that I go on about).

I hope you all can see the humor here!

I nearly broke a rib

I see you checkin’ me
Out on the dance floor
I know you want me boy, but you got something I want more
See, these are troubled times
A bad economy
I got some health issues, and medicine, well it ain’t free

I don’t care about your diamond rings
I don’t need none of those fancy things
If you really wanna be my man
Boy, you gotta put me on your health care plan!

Let’s start a family
And you can be the boss
Just prove to me that you’ve got Aetna, Kaiser, or Blue Cross
I can’t afford a doctor
I need your MDC
When I get sick all I can do is go to WebMD
Well you don’t gotta kiss me
And I don’t need no hugs
Just gotta get a discount when I need prescription drugs!
I need a flu shot baby
I got a tricky knee
And I ain’t seen a dentist since September of two-thousand-three

I don’t care about your diamond rings
I don’t need none of those fancy things
If you really wanna be my man
Just let me get all up in your health-care plan

Wanna be my dependent, girl? / What you got? / I’m gonna break it down…

I hear you say you love me

It appears that there were cyber attacks during the Georgian hostilities.

Look here -

To do a repair install, boot with the Windows XP installation CD. When it says you want to setup Windows, press Enter. Then you have to agree to the License agreement by pressing F8. Then the process will search for existing installations of Windows. If it finds one, it’ll show you and ask whether you want to repair it or clean install a brand new Windows XP. Select to auto repair the existing Windows XP. It’ll go on with the repairing which is like installing new Windows.

, the site is working with different symptoms but the basic problem seems the same - give it a try - more experienced voices will probably chime in shortly.

Have you run HiJackThis - that log might help a lot.

From the definition:

The robots.txt file can be used to stop a search engine spider from crawling all or part of your site. Create a robots.txt file in the main folder of your site which will direct the search engine spiders what they may and may not search. Spiders generally look for this file before doing anything.

this seems to imply that it will. I know that it works for databases and such so I can see no reason that Coldfusion websites would be any different.

It is only an assumption that it was N.Korea doing the DoS; the only things that caused it to rise above the background DoS going on all the time were the targets.

I had "Monster Ale" and "Bigfoot Ale", those are barley wine style ales that have IBUs as hight as 90. Not for wimps!

A lot of common US beers range from 10 to 30 IBUs, because hops are expensive.

While looking at all the different IBUs, I found reference to 20 degrees Plato! Turns out it is a reference to density as a %age of sucrose by weight - it is useful for brewers as a measure of the amount of fermentable materials - there appears to be a non-linear relationship between the degs Plato and alcohol content.

Have you drank something with an IBU of 100+?

On my way back from Paris a couple years ago - I found this note on my bag (TSA - Notice of Baggage Inspection - the notice goes on and includes a line about "if the TSA security officer was unable to open your bag..., the officer may have been forced to break the locks...." My bag was pretty heavy (and I managed to find a cobble and bring it home with me - it could have shown up on a scan).

WOW! I had never heard of that before - good work!

Some of you think they have family problems, but listen to this bloke's story:
I married a widow whom I deeply loved. After a couple of years, my father fell in love with my step-daughter and so my father became my son-in-law and I became my father's father-in-law. My daughter is my mother and my wife my grandmother. More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father's brother and so he is my uncle. Situations turned worse when my father had a son. Now my father's son i.e. my brother is my grandson. Ultimately, I have become my own grand father and I am my own grandson.

There is an old Country song "I am my own grandpa"

OMG - Webcam choreography ZOMG

For some reason??- Paris on my mind

Did you blow out the dust and crud from the case and the ps?
Is the volume of air sucked in greater than the volume blown out?
What happens if you open one of the pci slots in the back? If that changes the 'texture' of the sound, maybe you could add a pci fan near your vid card (another source of heat).

There is now an IBU - International Bitterness Unit for beer. Standard IPAs are around 45 to 55 - Arrogant Bastard is about 145+ EBUs.

Working on my 2nd ThunderHead IPA of the night.
