  1. Ant thing that doesn't have windows 8.
  2. I am on att dsl near the airport, and I just ran speed test. I got 5.74 mbit down and .42 mbit up. I do know it varies depending on the time of day and the number of people using it. Sometimes when watching hulu I get major hits and have to start over. I'm not sure if it is on Hulu's end or here though.
  3. What is the exact words on the popup? Lots of times you can google the words and find a cure. There are several programs that you can download and find or fix it. I normally use avg, but avast can be downloaded on a different computer and ran from a thumb drive. AVG also has a recovery program that can be down loaded and ran.
  4. Mail carriers and utilities don't take 360 degree video of everything to be sold or posted on the web.
  5. True, but I am 1/2 mile from the road on a private driveway. She had no business coming down the driveway. That's why I live here instead of in town or on a street.
  6. I just started up my private drive way this morning and meet a car from navteq. Looked like a google car. She was taking pictures just like google street view, problem is she was on a private driveway. I stopped her and she said was making maps for bing. When I look up the company they are making maps for sale. If anyone sees the car please take a picture and if she is on a private path stop her. They have a web site, just google navteq.
  7. The scrap metal place will take them. I normally take out the hard drive and disassemble for the aluminum and the magnets, then take the steel outside case as scrap steel. If you do several like I do it adds up. Also if it is a old server sometimes there is gold plated chips that sell for the gold content. What ever you do with them you should either remove the hard drive or run a program like boot and nuke to remove all you personal data.
  8. Check out 181.fm. They have a 70's channel and the eagle channel which plays good music. Also google Broadcasting World Test Station they play 70's also. If you like 60's then check out 104 topeka. I have these stations bookmarked in winamp and listen to them more then local. None of the local fm stations have many songs. The online stations play stuff you haven't heard in a long time if you normally listen to local stations.
  9. Set your scanner to 154.310. They are on there for now.
  10. http://www.popculturemadness.com/Music/Charts/1971.html List of 1971 plus other years, Just bought a set of 10 cd's of the 70's made by time life at a sale. 10 cd set.
  11. Check out some of the reasons why this was a stupid move. Someone must have taken a bribe to want this system. What happens when you let anyone make decisions that don't know and don't care except what they want or can make money from. http://forums.radior...2-mototrbo.html http://forum.motorol...php?topic=372.0 http://www.trboconne...o/platform.html http://www.firehouse...117788-Mototrbo
  12. I think we need to make up posters and put them up anyplace that will let us. Liquor stores would probably be glad to have a flyer posted. Any one else interested?
  13. The only difference between Muslims and Christians is the Muslim's force their way on you with guns and bombs and the Christians do it with laws. Either way it is religion that is causing the problem for all of us. This whole thing is about the fk christian' s forcing you to do what they want. If there was no politics and no religion there would be a lot less wars and a lot less problems. The bible is a history book and some of it is made up at that. I will be voting for Sunday sales, and I don't really drink.
  14. There are several speed ratings. Read speed which is usually somewhere around 30-40x then write speed which can be anywhere from 8x for some dvd's to 20x for other dvd's . Usually slower for double layer which is 9 gbyte instead of 4.7 gbyte for a standard dvd. Unless you are trying to copy a dual layer you will never need the dual layer. The blank disc's cost a lot more the the normal ones. I buy my computer stuff at newegg.com. Yes I do some computer work, mostly for friends. Have been working on them since the plugboard programing days in the late sixties.
  15. If you want to just load a program any dvd reader/writer will work. I will loan you one if you pm me.
  16. The problem is the Chinese parts. I have taken one apart and it had the same problem most electronic stuff has now, chinese capacitors. They are not allowed to be made in this country because of the mercury even though I toss mine in the standard garbage, and suspect other people do as well. They cost way to much for how long they last. Another government "good idea".
  17. From everything I can find Java is only run under the browser (I.E. firefoxe, etc.) Google it and there is a java site that will tell you if it is active on your computer.
  18. This is old news. I turned off Java over a month ago. So far have not had one reason to turn it on. For you firefox users go to tools, add ons and you can disable it. I don't know about internet exploder, as I haven't used it in at least 10 years, as It caused so many problems.

    Old records

    Ebay. Go look for the card or record, then look under sold items to see what they are worth. Records are not selling unless they are something that is rare. I usually find albums at yard sales, but will only buy no matter what the price unless it is something I want to rip to mp3.
  20. Depending on where you live a outdoor antenna will pick up several local channels. If you are on a hill you won't need much of a antenna. My son lives just north of downtown and with a homemade UHF antenna on the roof he is getting all of the local channels. With digital tv either you have a perfect picture or non at all. The one thing that does happen is you get drop outs if the signal is not enough. We live in a valley and even with the best store bought antenna we only get some of the channels, and even then if it is raining or a airplane goes over they drop out. I went to smart t
  21. I drink cans. Guess the code not on them? I looked on the box and didn't find anything.
