My Linksys wireless router has made it clear that I want to take the effort to make my network connections wired. To that end, I want to wire my house with ethernet cable. I was thinking of using Cat 5e but after reading the article for that as well as Cat 6, I'm now wondering if there is any advantage to using Cat 6. Will I be putting myself ahead of some standarization curve by installing the higher rated cable? Or will the next gen cable more than likely not be compatible and therefore I should just use standard Cat 5e? Dismas| (talk) 05:32, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I've been having trouble running Half Life 2 on my laptop. The game starts up fine, but when I attempt to actually play it, the game (and the whole computer) freezes halfway through the loading screen. I'm running a 2.0 Ghz AMD, 1024 RAM, and 128 MB ATI Radeon Xpress 200 notebook. I've tried looking for updated drivers for the video card, but ATI's website doesn't seem to offer any. Could anyone tell me why this might be happening and what I could do to fix it? -- Impaciente 07:02, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I have an odd task.
I know the first letter of a four letter word, but I only have clues for the next three letters.
I know the second letter is one of four possibilities; third letter is one of five possibilities, and last letter is one of seven possibilities.
I have a dictionary word list.
Is it possible to use some sort of finder (IE, Mozilla) to wildcard search for those conditions?
Is there some sort of random generator feature of Excel that allows me to randomly generate those conditions?
Can anybody think of any idea of how I could get a list of conditions?
Thank You,

Hi! I'm wondering if anybody has a free! program to create those nice population charts. I mean where you have the ages 0-100(?) in the middle (y-axis) and the data as bars from the middle to the left or right (girls in red, left; boys in blue, right). I couldn't figure out how to do that in Excel. Maybe that works too? Thanks! -- Hedwig in Washington (TALK) 02:20, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

On my old computer when I opened a video off of a link whilst on the internet, the video would open in a miniture version of quicktime embedded in the page. This was useful as you could have many videos open, and paused at various points, without them interfering with each other. On my new computer, it tries to open every single one in WMP. This is quite annoying as not only does it open a lumbering ram hungry application, but I can only have one video running at a time, so how can I alter settings so that they open in a new window of IE with an embedded media player of some sort. Thank you. Philc T E C I 23:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
