Yea, don't use a vacuum, except one of those small ones made for electronics on your computer, as they also generate static electricity, which can easily ruin a computer.

I've been getting nice speeds the last few days. I hope this lasts.

i am only using this as like an extension to an ethernet cord, as i have like 5 and 2 routers, i don't want to buy anything else. thanks for the help.

All you'd need is a longer ethernet cable. That would make things alot simpler.

I'm with you on part of that, negative reinforcement is defiantly a good thing.

Speaking of too much noise, you do realize that typing in ALL CAPS IS CONSIDERED SHOUTING, right?

Not many of the surveys that I took were really short. Besides the one's that were gave you less points/money than the longer sourveys.

really u actuallly get $$ from taking those surveys,  i thot those were just scams

Some of them are real, Suveryspot, Gozing, just to name a couple. Any site that asks you to refer people to get money, be more careful with.

I've done some of those survey sites, not the referral sites before. Imo, they're really not worth it. Alot of the time you take very similar surveys about a month apart to see how your opinions have changed.

thanks

i'm not sure what level my moniter supports. r there any websites where i'll be able to test the refresh rate.

also i understand  the screen flicker is reduced but what does this actualy equal/mean.

Make sure "Hide modes this montior cannot display" is checked. Then you don't have to worry about incompatible modes.

Verizon Upgrades Tri-State FIOS Bandwidth

Verizon said Monday that it has increased the speed of its fibre-optic (FiOS) service to homes in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut states without raisng the price.

...

in practice, what this will mean is that customers who currently have purchased 5 Mbits/s downstream and 2 Mbits/s upstream FiOS service from Verizon will be upgraded to 10-Mbits down/ 2-Mbits up, for the current price of $34.95 per month for one year or $39.95 per month without a commitment. Those that already have subscribed for a 15-Mbit down/ 2-Mbit up connection will be upgraded to a 20-Mbit down/2-Mbit upstream connection for $44.95 per month, with an 1-year commitment, or $49.95 on a month-to-month basis. The 30-Mbit premium tier was left untouched, in bot performance and price.

I want my FIOS!

o come on you guys know wat i mean

Except for "Alaskan", yes.

I don't think it's odd. Your computer has to start up before the OS starts up. That's why Windows doesn't have such a feature. I doubt Macs do either.

I shut mine done everyday....

Hmm... I've never shut mine done.

Some BIOS's let you put a password to just even start the computer.

I have a Myspace page, but hardly use it anymore. It seems overhyped right now to me.

Forgot to add in my original post how much I hate lexmarks, they have been terrible for me.

Ugh, yea. My mom has a Lexmark. That thing's terrible. It doesn't work half the time.
