Yo ho ho. Today corn is officially a buck an ear. Its time to get out your fake Gucci bags and Rolex watches. Your friend becomes your matey and your orange juice rum as we make English grammar walk the plank. So hoist the Jolly Roger me lads and lasses to them what talks like a pirate.

Hello, I know I'm just full of silly ideas, but afterall this is the physics forums, and I happen to have lots of questions :P. So, basically what I'm interested in, as the topic suggests, light speed internet. Now now, I know many of you would respond with, "its been done --fiber optics!"...

I have some good news and some bad news. First, the good news is HTML5 includes MathML and has been embraced by all browser vendors. Now the bad news. MathML support is broken in IE9 and we see no evidence that Microsoft will fix this problem unless they are made to understand how...

I hope this is the right place to post this... I've been having trouble with Skype lately. I can't play online games (I've been struggling with League Of Legends lately) while I'm on skype. The problem is skype, and I assume this shouldn't be happening since I know people with less bandwith...

Hi everyone. I was wondering about something I just read with wireless energy transfer and resonant energy transfer on Wikipedia.org. What if you send a large amount of ultrasound tuned to a certain frequency over the AC/DC outlet plug. Would it get to the Transformer? Would the transformer's...

Some people think that they can say or do about anything they want on-line with no repercussions. A young woman who works with my wife may soon find out that is not true. She posted on MySpace or FaceBook (my wife was unsure which), saying that all her co-workers were imbeciles, and allegedly...

As much as I hate to admit it, I am stumped. I recently installed windows 7 [64 bit] and cannot connect to the internet. Fortunately, I was just bright enough to install it on a second hard drive and have dual boot option [XP]. It appears modem related, but, I have not found any drivers that...

So, basically, what are the different ways for someone to get internet these days? I'm asking because I'm tired of not having decent internet. The satellite that currently used is provided by Hughesnet and stops working at random intervals. As a back up plan, I also use a USB stick from...

(1) Sometimes I notice that the bandwidth goes up a lot after I start getting a large feed. Like, my internet might be going pretty slowly, then I start downloading a large file and my internet connection moves up to 24 or 36 Mbps, loading web pages very fast, despite the fact that I am also...

In a few days, people from my ISP are coming to my house to install super-fast fiber optic internet. Right now, I am using a DSL, or about a 3-meg connection speed. According to what I've heard, a fiber-optic network connection can give up to 20 megs. I use my computer for gaming, especially...

I keep running into reports that within a year or so, the current system will be unable to sustain the rate of growth of bandwidth demand. Projections range from "the internet will become little more than a toy" (a paraphrase), to predictions of brownouts or other limitations. It seems that...

From the Chronicle of Higher Education: http://bit.ly/G42Fe I was wondering what you all think about this. From your own experience in academia, is this true? Or this is a biased sample?

All of the data one has relative to the Internet, such as passwords/usernames to sites, bookmarks, history, and all the so forth are stored on the computer, right? Therefore, if another user uses the same internet connection line (port, router, etc...) with another computer (his/her own...

Is there anyway that I can restrict internet access to a few selected websites without having to purchase software to do the job? If so, how? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

So here's the situation: A few months ago, my dad decided to try a free internet security trial from Trend Micro. It simply involves downloading updates about once a day, and a routine scan for potential viruses. Everything was fine for the first few months, but just today it reported that...

Howdy all. I have a somewhat tenuous relation with our IT department. Basically because they think they are the only ones who know what happens inside a computer. It's an annoyance usually, but every once in a while, something comes up that makes me think they are complete buffoons/idiots...

I sometimes have to download very large files from the Internet my company network speed is not too fast to finish downloading them within one or two hours. As a subcomputer, everything in my computer once stored on desktop will be deleted after reboot. I am thinking if there is a way to...

Do you guys do this? Whenever I see "Hai, can u sho me hao 2 do this please, thx", I automatically label them as "Nubcakes", and "12 year old". I then realized that most of the players on World of Warcraft fit this category, until one of "them" spoke on a chat program called ventrilo. He...

Hi, :smile: I'm a novice as far as computing and the internet is concerned and hence I need to get some concepts cleared about the same. I've availed for a broadband internet service at my residence for personal use from my local WAN service provider. The plan I've availed for is for 256...

How can people get internet access through their power lines? Wouldn't all the transformers act as low pass filters and destroy your carrier signal? Also, with things being turned on and off constently, wouldn't it be too noisy?

For those who dare to venture a guess. I came up with something around 18,000 hours over the last 15 years or so [I can't remember exactly what year was the first that we had internet service]. Also, for our texters, any guesses on blackberry time?

My (new*) linux system is having trouble connecting to most websites. Originally I thought it was a DNS issue, because I can connect to some websites (Google, thanks goodness, and physicsforums of course), but now I'm not sure. What do you think this is? Is it me, my connection, or an...

Hi, I'm staying at my aunt's house and trying to access Internet Options so I can clear out browsing history, temp internet files, cookies, etc. However when I go to the Control Panel it's not there. "No problem" I thought, and I went to Tools in the IE browser window. But when I click on...

I really want to get high speed internet. The problem is that I can't find any company that offers it where I live for a reasonable price. I can get satellite internet as can everyone else, but Verizon (my phone provider), and Comcast don't offer their high speed at my house. Does anyone have...

I've noticed the internet is getting slow over time. Anything takes forever to load and things time out. Google: Oops! This link appears broken. DNS error - cannot find server. Even my laptop is doing this!? I have Verizon FIOS internet, so this shouldn't happen. I don't know why the...

I currently have 2 computers (laptop running ubuntu, desktop running vista) connected to the internet, through a "Linksys 5-port workgroup switch", which my cable modem is also plugged into (my internet gives me 2 IP's, so I don't need an additional router). This arrangement works perfectly, no...

Hey guys, I was wondering what brand of internet security software would you recommend for the PC? I am currently using Norton Internet Security 2009, however, I hear some of the other brands are better such as McAfee and Trend Micro? What do you guys think of Norton 360? Its just that I have...
