  1. I don't have a problem with new users as a more active forum is always good.

    What I have a problem with is people asking the same questions over and over again because they don't search through the forum and when people can't be bothered to right their posts correctly and thought through.

  2. You could always set one laptop up to be a sudo-wireless ap and then connect the other to it, you can have lots of fun with that and other people as well.

    Your supposed to be able to create ad-hoc networks between two computers, usually you will find this in your drivers for your wireless card. Some laptops even come with this turned on by default which could be very dangerous.

    You many have noticed that you can filter ad-hoc and ap in NetStumbler and other a like programs.

    I'm sure you'll find your answer in your drivers and documentation.

  3. I would try "USB HDD". If that doesn't work then you could try all of them, it wouldn't take you that long.

    Also you could try reading your motherboard manual, that will probably tell you the answer, and also if you have to use a specific USB port for the computer to boot from it.

  4. On a related topic, can anyone suggest a USB flash drive that does CDROM emulation. Meaning that it tricks the operating system into thinking it's a CDROM. I know I've run across one but I can't seem to track it down again.

    How do you mean CDROM emulation? Are you trying to get the flash drive to work if they have disabled usb mass storage devices in the OS?

  5. Yeah, as long as you have your T&C there then you should be fine. It also must force users to "Read it" so have it display infront of them in a scroll box and then an Acept Decline button below. 99% of people will just hit accept.

    However, you will have to remember if anyone was stupid enough to use there credit card etc. on it then you would be bloody stupid to do anything with that information.

  6. theres no way i would even attempt to open up a laptop w/o alot of desktop experience (more room, more room to learn and not screw up)

    Its easy if you have the service manuel, and that can usually be found on the internet.

    I like servicing laptops more than desktops, because you know what you have got and everything fits together nicely.

  7. I'm with Pipex and very happy with them.

    If you don't want a bandwidth limit you have to go with their top package which is about £28 (less if you buy their phone package with it). That'll get you 8Mbit broadband with no download limit.

    Also it seems to be a true no download limit as they have never said that I'm abusing the service and my regular bandwidth a month is nearing 300GB now.

    The only thing you have to watch out for with Pipex is that they do throttle bittorrent traffic. However running it on a high port and with encryption enabled sorts this out and you'll be able to max your connection out again (your probably doing this anyway).

    Had no downtime to speak of over the last couple of years and they don't have a problem with you running servers as far as I can tell.

  8. i cant get in trouble if i do it to my friends and they wont cair they will be like teach me lol

    You can and you will.

    You always get written permission before doing anything.

    Also they arn't likely to be "like teach me", they will get pissed off with you and you won't have any friends yet.
