  1. It's better to have it here then somewhere that people who shouldn't be able to get ahold of it can do so.
  2. Watch Blazing Saddles.
  3. Even more lies eh?
  4. Yeah I mean how convenient is it to come up with a "terrorist warning" right before a big opposition is going to be out in full force, with police and law enforcement just itching for a reason to dispearse the gas. This is bad, but not nearly as awful as Ohio declaring a terrorist warning on the election day in order to stop the process of getting the proper provisional ballots. I hope they do start beating some hippies and giving them the gas. It makes my day. I'd have to jerk off at least 3 times in a row to get rid of the hard on I would get from watching people being beaten down. Mmm... a hippie beating jerk. That's a good jerk right there.
  5. Hubs A hub, in a networking-sense, is a common connection point for network devices. A hub consists of more than one port, and is usually used for connecting more than one computer to another computer or networking device. For example, if you wanted to use File Sharing for all the computers in your LAN, you would use some form of a hub to connect your computers to each other. When data is sent to a typical hub, the data is copied and sent to each port on a hub - in other words data sent to the hub is broadcasted to all devices connected to the hub. A port is a part of a hub that allows network cables to be connected to it so that device may communicate with the other devices. Switches A switch, "switching hub" or "multi-port bridge," is a hub, like the one described above, except it manages data sent to it differently. When data is sent to a hub, the hub broadcasts it to all ports on the hub; when data is sent to a switch, the switch analyzes the data and sends it to only its destination (rather than to all ports). A switch will analyze data and broadcast it to only the port that it is meant for. Switches often provide better performance and stability, but do so at a higher price compared to a regular hub. Routers A router is a device that connects any number of LANs. For example, a router will allow your LAN to connect to a WAN, Wide Area Network, or connect your LAN to the Internet. Data sent to a router is routed to the correct destination. The routers that can be found at your local computer store are typically used for connecting multiple computers to the Internet with one external IP. This is usually done with a form of NAT, and provides a bit of security to the computers behind the router. Often times routers are sold as a "router/hub" or "router/switch" - this means that the device is capable of acting as both a router, as described above, and as a hub or switch, which is also described above. When routers are not sold as devices that also act as a hub or switch, you must use a separate switch or hub to connect your computers to, then connect the hub to the router.
  6. Router>Switch>Hub
  7. Well I have red hair. But no bumper sticker.
  8. If you already have a router, connect the router into the uplink or #1 port on the hub and then connect the hub to the rest of your computers. Routers can usually support up to 256 computers and by just adding a hub to one of the router ports you expand the amount of computers you can have.
  9. Oddly enough it was about 60 degrees out around 6PM when I went to lunch last night. Freaky for WA. Probably El Nino

  11. That's what I'm unsure of. Star Trek was cancelled after season 2 and then when word spread that it was cancelled , the fans got together and the letter writing campaing brought it back for the 3rd and final season. NBC fucked over Star Trek just about as bad as FOX has fucked over numerous shows. And Star Trek > Family Guy.
  12. When you consider that vast amounts of media coverage are devoted to actors/actresses' sex lives, plenty of people have no lives. I'm thinking in this case it's relevant because she LOOKS like a filthy skank. Lower-back tattoos and tongue rings aren't really associated with women who are hesitant to give it up. Fool.

  19. You could pic up a Mac Mini with a Super drive for relatively cheap (about $600) and then just use your existing keyboard and mouse for your PC via like KVM switch or something.

    MLK Day

    I get paid 2.5x for working today. At least MLK was good for something....
  21. Excel is part of Office BTW. But the viewer that MiB posted should work.
  22. You know.... they put warnings on Glade Air Freshners not to huff them. Must be some good shit. Maybe you should hit up a can of Spring Air and report back.
