So my college decided to WiFi the residence areas, including my apartment. Their WiFi node is causing my WiFi network to fail (dropped connection kinda stuff). How can I configure my router so this stops? (I'm not shutting off my network, it makes working across multiple machines easier.)

I think there is also a laser which is set to zap things at the frequency mosquitoes beat their wings.

If it's real and I''m not just making this up...it'd be worth trying.

Switch to a different channel?

I'd be willing to bet that your routers are configured to use the default channel (6). Play around with different channels (1-11 in NA) and find what works the best. For whatever reason, 4 seems to be the most reliable for me.

Well, if one was willing to spend $75 for a rubber twat in a can, $9 for some lube shouldn't be any huge expense. Tell HIM to quit being a cheapo.

My friend forgot to buy the lube when he brought the fleshlight online. Now he doesn't know any stores to get lube from. It seems like a waste to order a tube of lube online since like you said it's only $9.

There's most likely a rubber dick store in your area, lube can be found there. Even in different flavors, or it gets hot when you put it on, etc.
 
I have a question regarding Facebook.

Can I turn off all the notifications from a certain person? Basically, I don't want to see his posts anymore, but to still keep him on my friends list.
Thanks.

Just click on "Hide" next to his posts on your live feed and that should stop him from showing up.

I've tried 4 and 11 so far, without much luck. :( Changing the channel was the only thing I could think of, too.

probably not, but check your nations applicable law.

If you live in a country that allows backups, the backups usually have to be made from the original.

I can't believe I know this without even checking which avatar. Youtube "SNSD".

I've been invited by my coworker to her Daughter's 1st Birthday. Any etiquette above and beyond the norm I should know about? Oh, and any ideas for a gift would be great.
 
Basic etiquette should be appropriate. I would also consult your boss on the gift.

Okay, I have basic cable from Comcast and it is split up all around the house. If I were to get one of their triple play packages, would I still be able to watch basic channels on all of my TVs?

Assuming you're in the US:

Yes
Yes, so long as you don't allow anyone to download from you
Technically not.

We often vacation at Chincoteague Island, VA, which is notorious for mosquitoes and flies. The locals there turned us on to using dryer-freshener sheets (Bounce, Snuggle, etc.). Rub them on your clothes and skin and the bugs don't bother you. I don't know that it would last through the night, nor with you lying there motionless pumping out CO2, though.
 
This is more a request then, a question but.

Do you think you guys could make the weapon white, the red part green, and the hair dark green. Would be much appreciated.

Yes, it wouldn't change that. We have digital cable, but if you don't want to buy another box, you can just split the cable to any TV and get basic cable
 
Why do I see cars being driven around with no manufacturers identification?

For example the BMW/Ford emblem is removed from the front AND the back along with the model number.
 
Maybe this should go in the gaming side, but I don't want to start a topic for it and I don't know where to ask it

What the FUCK is on Mega Man's back on the MMIIIGB cover?

I've been trying to remember the name of this old movie I saw as a kid. I think it was about some tiny saucer-like alien robots that entered an apartment complex or something. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Does anyone else find it stupid that I got perma-banned on gametrailers for posting a picture of an anime dude with a penis for an arm?
 
Just the person I didn't want to see it. :lol

I think a month ban or something would have sufficed. Oh well, not like I'll be missing out on much there. :lol
 
External Speakers, HDMI problem.

My TV's only option for using external speakers is a 3.5 jack out. Setting this up isn't a problem but when I switch to the HDMI "channel" the only audio coming through the speakers is from what ever TV station I was previously on. There is no switch or setting on the TV.

How do I get my speakers to work with the HDMI cable and not against?
 
question about ironman, did he ever get the shards off his chest ? and why did they need to dig a hole in his chest but not take out the shards?
