AskMecha: How can I see how many wireless connections a router can handle? Hey folks. I know this is simple question but I can't seem to figure it out (yay for not knowing hardware). Is there an easy way to see if the router I have can handle 50 wireless connections? I know the usual is 25 but I don't know how to verify that or not. The router is a netgear wireless-N300, wnr2000. And bonus question: what mbps should such a router be connected to?

"The Doors of Perspection" is a cool experimental film short by Vicki Bennett. She takes scenes from Hollywood (and a few foreign) films, and rotoscopes them in a larger frame so that long pans and zooms will move the frame, instead of the viewer. Um, it's hard to describe, but when you watch it it makes sense.

The pharmacist is Don Colcord, who lives in the town of Nucla.

I'm Back! It's been a long, strange, and somewhat scary journey.

Driving back home from an overnight stay in Valparaiso, IN, I felt a sort of itchy area on the right side of my neck. I didn't think much of it, except that the next morning, I woke up with the right side of my neck looking like I was half-Cardassian. Overnight, it started to really hurt, and I got a walk-in appointment the next morning at my VA Clinic.

The nurse practitioner took one look at me and said "Oh, you must be in pain!"

D'oh! I felt like my right side was on fire.

brilliant productivity epiphany i swear this sounds simple but i've been using it to motivate myself and it totally works! I'm like if I'm going to take enough time out to do something _anyway_, I might as well do difficult things at full capacity. If you're just treading water you might as well be sleeping or going out or watching TV etc anyway

Anyone use an IWORD program with an IPAD together with an air printer? I would love to stop using my computer and only use my IPAD. But I need a word processing program compatible with Microsoft word. Also, I need a printer that would print at least 300 pages from the IPAD with 1 cartridge. Has anyone used IWORD with the IPAD?
Has anyone used an air printer?

Reassure me that I am paranoid! All of my stuff had to be put in a storage pod in my driveway after the hurricane (my apartment is currently down to the studs). It occurred to me last night that maybe I should be worried about bed bugs living in the pod (before it came to me) and infesting my stuff.→Read more...
