The government now says we have a choice, but do we?? How are we to choose between the best cable provider if most cities only have one provider in each area. Cable companies have an unspoken agreement not to infringe on each other so that they can control the excessive costs that we are charged. So other than satellite do we really have a choice. What about HD?? The government says that networks have to broadcast in HD but why are we charged such high prices by cable companies for something that was designed to be a free service??

Hi,
A friend of mine works in a doctor's office. The server is on one coridoor of the building, and the user on that side are hard wired directly to a router.

The staff across the hall(new space) have not connected yet.
Can wireless be used. What encryption scheme is necessary.
They are about 50-75 yards from the server. Will a repeater need to be installed to 'boost' the signal. What frequency should be used? They do not want a screen refresh delay.

Please be as specific as possible with your solution.
The provider of the best solution's name will be provided to the user if you desire.

Regards,

Dick

Recently I've been given reason to believe that a very unpleasant individual is tracking my IP address. I do not know this for sure, because it could simply be a monumental coincidence, but it seems a bit suspicious that this person ,or very similar people, has somehow managed to find me at various unrelated forums that I frequent. Is there a way in which I can find out if my suspicions are true, and then, how best can I protect myself?

Can someone explain to me how the psu works?

For example, a psu specifications listed are: +3.3V@17A, +5V@25A, +12V1@16A, +12V2@18A, -5V@0.5A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@3.0A

How do watts, voltage and amps fit in?

I'm trying to see if I need to buy a new psu for a new graphics card I'm buying, but I'd also like to understand how this works.

I went to You Tube a few days ago and was told that I needed to update my Flash Player. Fine. So I followed all the relevant instructions, except that where it said to turn off other programs, I didn't. It didn't load.

So I went back and turned off all the other programs and tried again. It said first I had to uninstall my old one. I did.

Now it still won't install, and I can't watch You Tube or anything else that requires Flash. What should I do?
