    Wireless Router: Get and Send Signal

    My grandparents have a wireless network in their house. They use a WRT54GS on the ground floor to transmit signal. However, when they are in the basement, the signal is very poor. They went out and bought another WRT54GS router and figured they could use it to boost the signal. Of course...

    If I wanted to learn Programing

    I learned Java first, which wasn't too bad. Syntactically, it's not too tough. It's also a good introduction to objective programming (in my opinion). Plus, there's a LOT of free development tools (NetBeans, Eclipse, notepad) and a huge developer base for free tutorials. I recently started...

    How big is your win 7 OS partition?

    I used 2 different configurations. Back when it was in Beta, I ran a 16gb partition. I didn't do much with it....just web things and poking around to decide if I liked it and if it was compatible with my laptop. Now that I have the RC, it is my primary OS. It runs very well on the rig in...

    Vista>Windows 7

    I'm using build 7057 on my side partition for kicks. Frankly I'm too tied up with school and work to worry about re-doing my OS and all that goes with it. So, for the mean time, I'll be using vista business and loving every moment of it. My opinions: Windows 7 got rid of a lot of little...

    2008, a terrible year for PC gaming.

    I agree, but they shouldn't have let their "bread and butter" go. Half-Life is what made Valve what they are if you ask me, so please throw your resources into your old school fans too. The thing that bothers me the most isn't the fact that its taken so long to get the game, rather the fact...

    2008, a terrible year for PC gaming.

    You know why 2008 was so terrible? Another long year without ANY DAMN NEWS ABOUT HL2 EP3. Seriously Valve, did you go on vacation and forget to tell us? I guess thats what I get for expecting something from someone who treats deadlines like a millionare treats pennies. Dicks.
