ping www.google.com
If address can be resolved: DNS works for provider and router
If route can be found: Everything works on provider's end
If route alternates between being found and not being found: Router probably shitty or cable fucked
tracert www.google.com
Look where it fails to connect, the thing at that address has got an issue
Address can't be resolved:
tracert 8.8.4.4
Ends up at Google's end (takes some time): Internet isn't broken
Otherwise: Look where it fails to connect, the thing at that address has got an issue
If you're looking for a reliable DNS, put 8.8.4.4 into the relevant text boxes on your router configuration webpage thing. Also, make sure your computers use the router's DNS (i.e. enter the router's address as DNS).
Some routers need a checkbox checked that's called "DNS forwarding enabled" or similar.
If you're not getting anywhere with the stuff above, please specify what's actually not working.

Also, DSL can fail under high pressure for purely physical reasons (that's related to error correction algorithms and the amount of resulting virtual parallel connections a copper cable can actually handle). So if your internet connection is reliably dying at 8pm, that's probably because your whole block is simultaneously torrenting or something.

Whats the best kind of tv/pc monitor LCD, LED, or Plasma?

Can somebody please recommend me some decent 3d modelling software that I could play around on. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll give these a try.
A/V question: Have a USB drive hooked into an LCD monitor, running a repeating slideshow. For some reason, the images are not loading completely during the slideshow, and instead an image will load piecemeal, i.e. the upper third loads first, then the middle third and then the bottom, within the space of about a second. Any ideas what may be the issue? I think it may be a resolution thing but I'm not entirely sure, and I can't play around with it at the moment.

USB throughput vs resolution or the drive's slow or the display software is weird or extreme data fragmentation. What filesystem does the USB drive have? Does the TV do the picture display part? Which USB standard is it? Is the drive also slow when you use it in the same manner on a computer? Does the TV behave similarly with a different drive?

What are some good news and politics websites?
There's no such thing as a good politics website. They're all hateful and vile and horrible and bad.
Hey guys, could you give me an opinion on this potential site layout? I'm redesigning my fantasy sports site as I found the old theme too grey.
Image of current design
Image of new design (WIP)
I know I'm bias, but I really like the newer design. The frontpage allows for more dynamic content and is more modern. The general colour scheme is also more inviting. The only issue though is that I think the new one may not work for a sports site and the old one still looks classier. If you were a first time visitor, which one will attract you more to have a look around?

Yes.
Thanks.
The new one looks miles better =] my only criticism would be the Round 1 on the left sticks out and looks out of place.
The new design looks more convenient and user-friendly, but I kind of like the colour scheme of the old design more.
Agreed on both counts. Just shove that Round 1 so it's vertically in line with the 'D' from Dream and I think it would look just fine.
The search box on the new design is a bit too clunky looking, imo.

Is there a car stereo head unit that I can directly plug my iPhone into? Everything I've seen connects via USB or plain ol' aux cable. I want something that I can literally plug my phone into. Does anything like that exist?

Yeah, perfect. Does anyone have one of these? There's also something I found after googling that called iRoc, which is the same thing.

I'm thinking of turning my avatar into a sticker and placing it in random places in LA when I'm out. Good idea? Bad idea? Too late idea?
Updated Site Design
Made a couple of changes based on some very good suggestions.
I made the ad on the right smaller to fit it in. I think it looks a lot better now. Thanks for the advice
It didn't really bother my too much until you pointed it out. Doesn't really flow with the design.
I changed it up a bit. Compare it to the old one and let me know what you think.

Yeah, I feel that the old colour scheme looks a bit classier (reminds me of a newspaper), but some of my users wanted something more 'colourful'. I think new users in general will be more attracted to a lively design, especially since the target audience is teenagers.

Driving home I approached an intersection with a yellow light. I was going to drive through it but it changed to red so I slammed on my breaks to make my stop.
I noticed two flashes, meaning I was photographed.
I did not however go through the intersection.
Will I be ticketed?

I do a lot of things just to see what happens.
Yep.
Have one in my pocket right now, it's okay if you want to just turn your music player on and leave it alone for a while.

Yes, I bought one only recently and like it quite a lot. The touch screen can be fiddly though. Even the iPod Classic and the Shuffle are still being sold.
Oh, well that's a much more interesting answer than I expected so more power to you sir

It doesn't matter if you are ticketed or not, you're not obligated to pay those things.

What is the patron saint for people born on Mondays?
I read in Eat, Pray, Love that Shiva the Destroyer is the patron saint for Friday babies - I want to know if mine is as bad ass but haven't had any luck with google.
Maybe someone more familiar with Hindu (or any other kind?) religion will know?

Why don't you just use your PS3 controller? There are ways to make it work.
