eReaders & eBooks
People who like books specifically may not like an ereader. Me personally, I like books but more importantly love the content inside them, so I love my Kindle. Reading is so much easier than a normal book (you wouldn't think it would make a difference, it does) plus you can have hundreds or thousands of books with you at all times, and if you get the 3g versions then you can purchase any book at any time. I love reading, and that's why I bought one. I don't understand the hate of them at all, people will accept technology everywhere else in their lives but not for reading. It makes no sense at all.

TIp.it doesn't work the normal way
As a network engineer who works for an ISP and web host, I would say that tip.it probably isn't at fault. Most likely it is something simple like a DNS in Holland doesn't point to tip.it correctly. You never did answer obfuscators post above: which would tell us more, namely if it is a DNS issue or not.

How I Met Your Mother
I actually watched the second thinking it was the first, and that I just didn't remember the end of last season when they were talking about stuff from the first episode. It's still an ok show, some parts are good some parts aren't, they really could make it great if they plan on ending it.

How I Met Your Mother
I'm hoping it ends soon, it was ok overall but I just want a conclusion.

thinkin bout gettin a new cpu..
If I were him I would be reusing parts from his existing computer he planned on upgrading. Case, power supply, hard drive, and dvd drive can all probably be reused. Reusing those parts, and the rest of your build, and adding in a copy of Win 7 and you are coming in a little cheaper. Hard drive you might want to upgrade rather than reuse, but I wouldn't get that one listed regardless. Get a smaller and faster one, for cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136794 (ok, it is about half the capacity at the same price, but it will be much better if you are putting your os and games on this one drive). Next I would probably replace the power supply, the one in the list is good enough. Case and dvd drive though there's no reason to not reuse those.

Labtops
Well you kind of answered your own question about which to get once you stated the price, only the Air is that cheap. Actually Canadian I don't know if either is that cheap.

She looks really good in the pictures you posted. She still looks good in her "other stuff" too, just not quite that good.

What movie(s) did you last see?
The Tunnel - A "crowd sourced" movie, in other words a movie that a lot of people give a little bit of money to in order to fund it. I gave twenty bucks, and that was a long time ago so you would have thought I would have got around to watching it before now. It was decent, it is a horror movie and those aren't my favourite so take it as you will. The acting was a little off at times, and story was a little stupid at times, but for a cheap indie movie they did it pretty well.

Our ISP sucks
Prices can vary a ton of just a short distance out here in the country where there aren't many options. For example we have fiber customers who can get 40/20 for $30 a month, and right across the street we don't have fiber but do have our wireless which costs around $45 a month for 1/256k.

Our ISP sucks
That's roughly the speeds that many of our wireless broadband customers see for the ISP where I work. The last mile is extremely expensive to build, much cheaper to just do it wireless. The problem is, wireless sucks a lot of the time. The unlicensed 900Mhz wireless broadband is probably what you have, and it will have to accept all interference, with no real good way to prevent it. Line of site to the tower is the most important aspect, but on 900 you don't need to be completely clear. The farther out you are, the worse it will be too. Many things will cause it to stop working. In the summer around here the corn fields (which hold lots of moisture and evaporates during the day) cause a ton of problems. In the winter ice will cause trouble. In the spring/summer lightning causes tons of trouble. There's not much you can do. Call them and see if they will come out and take a look at it, to try and see if they can get a better signal any way. They might charge though.

Dynamic IP?
^^This. Might really help us if you can give us a model type/number for the router. Easy google searches for user guides would do wonders. Depends. If the modem has the ability to NAT, then yes. If not, then no. We set up a fair amount of our DSL customers with modems in bridged mode, and they don't pull IP addresses, the devices behind it do. All of our wireless broadband and fiber customers own equipment pulls the public IP addresses, though the equivalent of the modems pull separate address (in a local dhcp subnet)
-
Dynamic IP?
12 digit hexadecimal (0-f) EDIT: Just change any one of the numbers by one, it will be good enough.

Dynamic IP?
That would only change the LAN IP not WAN. Depends on what part of the router you are doing it on, most of the time I see it, it is on the WAN interface. Whether or not rebooting the router, or leaving it off overnight will help depending on how the ISPs equipment is set up. I work as a network engineer at a local ISP here, and I can tell you our routers hand out 24 hour leases. So if your lease doesn't renew overnight, then leaving it off overnight will not work for our equipment. Your router should have an option for "MAC address cloning" or something like that. Put in a different MAC address and restart the router and you should pull a new IP address, regardless of lease times.

HD LCD Television
I'm guessing there are different sub models of that model you listed, in one picture I saw it had a port shaped like an HDMI port but it was blocked off, maybe some of those do have HDMI out. pic Regardless you should be fine with VGA.

Looking for new router/accesspoint
I don't have any suggestions since I haven't looked into it too much, but if you get any model created since late 2009 they shouldn't be draft N anymore, they should be final. EDIT: Also this website is pretty awesome for this sort of information: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Discussion Thread
This Exploration is very fun, but sometimes you just want to get from point A to B :razz: Screw that. Bethesda needs to add planes. I just looked for a mod for Oblivion for that, sadly no one has made any yet...

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Discussion Thread
I liked the exploration of Morrowind without fast travel, and I liked the fast travel system of Oblivion for looting purposes. When I didn't want to use it I didn't, there is no reason for it to be considered ruining the game. Plus, if you are playing these games on a PC like you should be, then you can change whatever you want with mods anyways.
