I seem to have a dark cloud looming overhead... Can somebody please suggest a GOOD, FAST, RELIABLE wireless router (with at least 4 hard ports)??? I work from home using a secure VPN connection to log into my work site. In three years, I went through 3 Lynksis routers. I decided to switch over to Belkin since it seemed the Lynksis was not giving me much life support. My 1st Belkin (pre-N) was having trouble in the beginning, so I called Tech Support, and they ended up sending me a new Belkin pre-N through the mail. In the meantime, the issue turned out to be my ISP, not the router... leaving me with 2 brand new routers. About 2 months ago the 1st Belkin died, so I opened up the brand new Belkin Pre-N still in the box. For whatever reason, this router is downloading extremely slow (about 190 kbps versus 750 kbps that it used to download). After a few weeks of fiddling with this, I have come to the conclusion that something is wrong with the router. I went to Best Buy yesterday and talked to the salesperson who told me for what I am looking for, the best bet would be the D-Link DIR 615 802.11N. I just tried hooking it up, and not only does the unit smell like fire, but there is absolutely no power!!! I tried different plugs, different outlets, and the unit is just dead. Now I am pissed.... I have to drive 20 minutes back to Best Buy to return this piece of *#)*#. Can someone please help suggest a decent router? I need fast downloads and something compatible with our Wii system. We have 1 laptop and 4 desk top computers to hook up (2 computers are about 5 years old, and 2 computers are relatively new, 1 month old and 6 months old). Any help greatly, greatly appreciated....

It never happen before, but my CPU started to jump 5% to 50% or 90% without reason.This slows my mouse speed down.I thought it was a virus, but I reinstalled Ubuntu and Slackware three times so I know this is not a virus in the hard drive. CPU itself does not store memory when power is down. Could it be my motherboard?My laptop is vaio vgn-a15 series. intel Centrino about 1.5 Ghz.

I have my own reasons), so I don't need some super expensive laptop that's like, amazing. I'm asking for a simple one.I'd like one with a bearable (..or fast) speed, a built in webcam, and medium sized. It doesn't have to have a lot of space. Easy to use. You know?So, any suggestions? Please provide the link.If I could, I WOULD get a Mac, but it's way too pricey. My dad wouldn't approve, even if it IS better than other laptops.

I have heard there have been reported problems with this series of GFX card, but I'm not too concerned since I'll get the 3yr warranty and regularly make backups of my files. (Plus I still have my old laptop if I need to use it as a backup). I kind of wanted a bigger screen, but this one is alright I think. Before this, I wanted a HP model.I was looking at the HP Pavilion DV9920US Widescreen notebook.. with these specs:*17" WXGA+ BrightView LCD Screen*AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core TL-60 2.0 GHz, 1MB L2, 1600MHz FSB*4GB DDR2 memory*250GB 5400-rpm SATA hard drive*Win Vista Home Prem 64-bit w/SP1*LightScribe SuperMulti DVD drv *802.11a/b/g/Draft-N wireless*4 USB 2.0; 1 FireWire; 1 S-video*5-in-1 card reader; bluetoothNow, I liked that the bus speed was pretty high - 1600MHz FSB... but I think the first model I listed would run faster/better than this one, correct? The most recent model I listed - the HP - had a 3yr accidental warranty for about $480 (From Office Depot).. whereas the first one listed costs about 270 on newegg for 3yrs accidental. If you're wondering what I want the laptop for: I want it for some gaming. Mostly some older games, but it would be nice if it could run some of the newer games on a low resolution since I have gamer friends. I'd like it to last me a while in college, thus the 3yr warranty and the good GFX card. If you have any questions/suggestions/comments on it, please post them. All constructive comments are welcome. Thanks :)Edit: The HP had a nVidia 7150 GFX card.I will be checking back on this tonight/tomorrow morning and noon, so feel free to ask any questions with any advice you may have.Another question: Is there a significant difference between the 1600MHz bus speed on the HP and the 667MHz bus speed on the first listed laptop? Where would it make a difference?I don't have a problem with 64 bit, since I've read most of the games I play can be configured to run on it. Plus, 64 bit is probably the wave of the future.For the record: my old laptop is a Dell D600 Latitude with a 1.4GHz single core intel processor... 1.2GB ram (upgraded 1gig a yr ago, was originally 512). 30GB hard-drive.The simple answers are okay, but I was hoping for more thought. At least how much of a difference the 1600 bus speed HP would be compared to the 667 of the 1st model.

On my birthday, i got an 300 dollar 8gb ipod touch, sure i asked for an iPod 4 (who didn't) months before my birthday but i didn't NEED one i have a nano AND a shuffle, screen is broken but at least it plays music. isn't that the point of an ipod? We go shopping, id ask for something cuz its nice but i don't need it, i just thought it was cute. they get it for me. wtfffffff!! im not even a good person. i have a 3.5 gpa but with 5 International Baccalaureate classes, i play fast pitch...im not extraordinary, i play violin..im decent...my SAT scores are average. im just an average person and i want some to push me in my studies, someone to critize me and tell me that i need to do better. i dont have that in my life, i have pampering parents who want me to succeed but arent allowing me to with treating me like a princess. i have friends who have to pay their siblings to take them places, parents who dont even know the names of them, these ppl succeed they are independent and want a better life than this... lastly am i right about this all? or am i just overreacting about my parents?

Resolved Question: My laptop refuses...

I own an Acer Aspire 1640 notebook. The battery life on this has always been rather low. Lately the computer refuses to boot if the battery is in the socket. Widows boots up and the desktop appears but the taskbar just hangs and the mouse won't move.As soon as I remove the battery from its socket, the procedure becomes faster and all is well. Once the computer is fully running, I can plug the battery back in the socket with no issues.I want to know if its a software problem with my Windows or just that my battery is messed up.'I am able to boot into linux though, without this issue.However, the 'battery' icon doesn't appear on the windows taskbar or linux either.Please help!


Open Question: Why is he choosing...

August 21, 2008

I have been with my fiance for 5 years now and the truth is the sex has never really been good. He is very selfish in bed and it always seems to be about him and never really pleases me. He makes love with his eyes closed and i never really feel connected to him. In the past i have been very adventurous in bed and there is not much that i wouldn't do in a loving relationship. I am an attractive woman (27) and my partner is always saying how he can't believe i would go out with him and gets very insecure when men look at me in the street or when we are out. The thing is, i think our sex life is so bad because of porn. I know he looks at it a lot and it is always with women with really big breasts, which makes me feel so hurt because i have very small breasts. When i first learned of his porn habits when we first met it didn't really bother me as i just figured it was something all men do - but now it really does and makes me feel sick. I caught him masturbating to it when i was in bed and his history used to be full of visits to sites, usually just as i had left for work or gone to the shops. I know it is wrong to look but i felt i had no choice as i needed to know how much he was looking to try and help me understand why he never came near me. I confronted him and told him how it hurts me so much, makes me feel unattractive and betrayed. he went crazy and turned it into me being a psycho for looking at his private things and the porn usage or our sex life (lack off) never got mentioned. A few months later i suggested watching it together, which was a big mistake. It was like i wasn't even there. He fast forwarded through the women with small breasts saying they did nothing for him and looked for the big breasted women, which makes me feel horrendous because i am one of those small breasted women. Ever since then this whole porn thing has been eating away at me and i now can't even be naked in front of him. I cover myself and am embarassed that my body doesn't turn him on. I have even considered breast implants and went for a consultation before chickening out. Then one day last month he broke down to me saying that he wanted to stop looking at porn because he saw how it was destroying our relationship. He even told me that he didn't have sex with me because he didn't want me to see how little semen he ejaculated because i would know he had been looking at porn. He told me it comes in cycles and he battles with not looking at it and feels guilt and shame afterwards. He said he was going to stop because our relationship was falling apart and he didn't want me to feel so hurt. i was so happy that things might change but at the same time really devastated at what i was being told as i knew that i had been right all along about his excessive porn use. I suggested he see a counsellor but he said he thought he could handle it on his own. Anyway, for a few weeks things got so much better, we started to get closer and the trust started to be rebuilt and our sex became more like making love rather than 2 minutes of him acting out what he had seen in porn thinking that would satisfy me. Anyway, i am sad to report that a six weeks later the sex has stopped. He has not come near me for a over 2 weeks. This is something that really baffles me as all of my ex boyfriends have always loved how adventurous i am, which leads me to think it must be my appearance that turns him off me, (i am 5'5" size 10 and curvy - but with small breasts). My mind started going crazy and again and every time i leave the house i am wondering if he has gone back to porn and have really awful visual images of him masturbating to to it. Eventually i checked his history to make sure he was telling me the truth about stopping. It was always deleted, until one day i found loads of porn sites visited 3 or 4 times a day. I began shaking and feeling sick. I am at the end of my tether. I asked him again had he looked at porn again and he swore to me he had not and he wouldn't do that to me - but i KNOW that he has. I can't trust anything he says and i don't want to have to break his trust and check up on him. This is no way for a relationship to be, but i know he is lying to me. I love this man and he has been so wonderful to me in so many ways and helped my life become so much better but the secrets and lies and being excluded from having a sex life in my own relationship and having to compete with 2 dimensional women is killing me. I don't know what to do. I am a very sexual person and i am so frustrated. I want to give my man whatever he wants/needs and i have told him this over and over but i just don't seem t be enough. He has now gone away on a business trip and my mind is going off the wall imagining him with his laptop in the hotel room. What should i do? Is this addiction? I'm not sure i can marry this man because of this, but is that being ridiculous?
