Alright, thanks for the replies. I'll try my crossover cable and if it doesn't work then I'll just go buy a regular ethernet cable.

I have a crossover cable and was wondering if it would still work as a regular ethernet cable.
Hey guys, I just got a new laptop about a month ago (Dell Studio 15 1558) and I haven't had any problems until now. Sometimes I'll be using the webcam and it will just randomly shut off. If I barely move my laptop it will shut off too, I have no idea why it's doing that and was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if it's fixable.
Well I ended up getting a $1100 Dell. I guess my dad didn't really care about the price as much as I would think. I got some pretty good components in it. I wish I could post all the specs, but I forgot some of them.
My budget is about $800-900.
Well, I'm going to college soon and I need a laptop, but I want a laptop that has a good processor and a decent amount of RAM so that I can do a little bit of gaming on it if I'm bored. I was going to get this laptop, but it's sold out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6834114743 So I was wondering what would be the best brand and what type I should get.
I mined 34k gold ores on runescape.
Which will probably cost an assload of money.
Have no clue what that is, I just googled around and found out that it's a new CPU or something.max wrote:

Well, it's not mainly for gaming. This is going to be for college and I've heard good things about Toshiba. I probably won't be doing any major gaming, but I'll probably be playing some games every once in awhile.
Hey everyone. I'm getting a laptop within the next 3 months, or whenever my dad gets home from Iraq and was wondering how this laptop looks and how well it would work for gaming. This looked like the best one I could find, but I want other inputs as well and maybe suggestions for better laptops for around this price. I'm looking for a Toshiba preferably.

These guys are so awesome. Check it out. Great for the Christmas season .
This is so surreal to me. It's so close, I can't comprehend it happening.
They don't search every car at the gate. They randomly check cars. If you have a military ID card you can get on with no problem. He could have had them for awhile or hid them in his car and got lucky that he didn't get check. It is a secure place, but if somebody in the military wanted to get something onto base then they could most likely.
Cool, my dad is in Iraq right now. Been stationed here for 10 years.JohnG@lt wrote:

There's a tank sitting at one of the exits on Fort Hood.
The shooter was Muslim. What a huge fucking surprise.
At least I know it isn't my dad. It might be people that my family knows though . This is horrible.
I live right next to Fort Hood, literally 5 minutes away. Everything is shut down. Such a horrible event.
Get it like me. A 4 on top blended to a 1 on the sides.
Well I was bored and was surfing Youtube when I found a guide on how to shutdown a computer using a cell phone and twitter. This may be useful to a lot of people that forget to turn off their computer or are just to get off the couch and click start and shutdown. This may be old, but I have no idea, I thought it was pretty cool though.
Also, for all of you people that don't like to shut down your computer you can also put it into sleep mode. The video doesn't show how to do this, but I figured it out quite easily.
You have to open up a new text document and put %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState and name the file something like standby.bat or whatever is easiest for you. So then if you want to put your computer into standby you just use your cell phone and text standby, or whatever you named your .bat file, to your twitter account and it will put it into sleep mode. Hope some of you find this useful.

Well here's my new essay, I edited it a lot and tried to make it better, but since I didn't have much time to do anything too drastic like restart I think this is what I'm going to be turning in. I feel like it is a lot better than my previous essay, but I'll let you guys judge.
Technology in medicine, communication, transportation, etc. is used by people for positive ways to help researchers find cures, improve health systems, and make life in general easier. It is also used in negative ways such as to send a text message to a friend while driving down the highway. Everyone is impacted in positive and negative ways by making hard tasks such as calculating large numbers simpler, but making people lazier and less willing to work by allowing them to use the television for entertainment purposes.
Our branch of knowledge is very important to how we live our lives. New developments have revolutionized the way individuals live at home and outside of home. For example, access to the news online and on television is enhanced and because of this we do not have to spend time getting the newspaper and getting ink all over ourselves or searching through the text to find what we really want to read. People use technology to wash clothes, clean dishes, and clean their homes and that is important when they have a full-time job or have kids. Also, when traveling we do not realize that technology in our vehicles has been developed for decades to make it more efficient for us to drive places such as fast food restaurants. Access to food has been made easier than ever by the creation of fast food restaurants and drive-thru windows at restaurants such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and Taco Bell. There is no longer a need to go inside a restaurant to order food because we can wait comfortably in our cars and order from outside the restaurant.
All of these advancements are great, but with the growing amount of distractions from new devices such as cell phones comes disadvantages. Technology in school is a big reason why students are becoming less attentive in classes and becoming careless toward their school work. It is not always such a bad thing to have technology such as computers, projectors, and the internet in class, but students use iPods in class to listen to music when they should be listening to the teacher that is giving a lesson. Technology for students in the classroom should be limited to calculators, pencils, paper, and whatever necessary tools they need to do work. The use of technology in school is a debatable topic, but the use of communication devices and music devices outside of school is another problem. People talk and text on the phone when they are driving or walking along the sidewalk and that is not very safe for anybody if the person in control is not aware of what is going on around them. Nearly ten-thousand people are killed each year due to phone related accidents on the road. People do not understand that they are endangering themselves and others when they do not pay attention.
Technology has many beneficial applications as well as detriments, but it is especially important in the medical field. The development of new machines in hospitals is important not only for doctors, but for the patients that need to be treated. Doctors and patients have not always had the advanced machines that we have today to figure out what is wrong with a person. Now there are machines that can be used in hospitals to do ultrasounds, x-rays, magnetic resonance image scans, and many other important procedures to make sure that people are in excellent condition. The application of technology is not just important inside the hospital, but also for the people that need to bring people to the hospital. Emergency crews use technology such as defibrillators, water hoses, hydraulic rescue tools, and other tools to help victims in car accidents, fires, and other emergency situations. If these emergency crews do not have these tools then they cannot help people that are in a life or death situation.
Technology is applied in many different situations whether they are good or bad. But let’s face it, without technology people would have never moved up in society and would not have the tools needed to do difficult or untimely tasks in a reasonable amount of time. We should be using technological applications for the good of mankind and should not be take advantage of them just because they are easy to access. Individuals need to contribute to society so that we can advance even further to become more informed and develop new applications. With new technology becoming available everyday, we are impacted in positive and negative ways that help us and endanger us.

Alright, Thanks for the help. I'll start on it tomorrow and post it when I'm done.

Alright, thanks, I'll work on redoing my introduction. How can I make my essay not so repetitive?
Edit:
I edited my introduction. Does this look any better?
Technology is used by teenagers for positive ways and negative ways. Technology impacts teenagers in positive and negative ways by making hard tasks simpler, but making teenagers lazier and less willing to work. Teenagers use technology to make their lives easier and more enjoyable. Teenagers take advantage of technology and use it in ways that endanger themselves. Technology is used in hospitals and by emergency crews to help patients and rescue people.

Well I've been in regular English forever and I decided to take advanced English this year and I'm horrible at essays. I'm in 12th grade.
What should I change and what grammar errors are there?
The topic is "the positive/negative impacts of technology on teenagers."
Technology is an important part of everyday life. Teenagers use technology to make their lives easier and more enjoyable. Some of these young teenagers take advantage of technology. Teenagers are impacted in positive and negative ways. Teenagers have grown accustomed to using new technology to do work for them and make all of their troubles go away. Technology is becoming more and more accessible to teenagers and soon teenagers will be taken over by it.
Technology is very important to how teenagers live their lives. New technology has revolutionized the way teenagers live at home. Teenagers have access to the news online and on television so that they do not have to read the newspaper. Young people use technology to wash clothes, clean dishes, and clean their homes. When people travel they do not realize that technology in their vehicles has been developed for decades to make it more efficient. Technology has made accessing food easier than ever by the creation of fast food restaurants and drive-thru windows at restaurants such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and Taco Bell. People no longer have to go inside restaurants to order food because they can wait comfortably in their cars and order from outside the restaurant.
Technology has a lot of downfalls and some of these downfalls can be very serious. Technology is taken advantage of by teenagers that are lazy and do not want to do things for themselves without help. Technology in school is a big reason why students are becoming less attentive in classes and becoming careless. Students use iPods in class to listen to music when they should be listening to the teacher that is giving a lesson. Not only is technology in school bad, but it is even worse outside of school in the public world. Teenagers talk and text on the phone when they are driving and that is very unsafe not only for the person driving, but people that are driving next to that person or are on the sidewalk. Nearly ten-thousand people are killed each year due to people on their phones while driving. Driving while on the phone is one thing, but it is also unsafe for teenagers to be on their phones or iPods while walking in a city and not being aware of their surroundings. People that do not know what is going on could get injured or even killed by a driver that is not paying attention.
Technology has many benefits as well as detriments. Technology is used in hospitals to monitor patients and make sure that they are in stable condition. If a patient is not doing well then a nurse or doctor is alerted so that the patient can be helped if needed. Machines are used in hospitals to do ultrasounds, x-rays, magnetic resonance image scans, and many other important procedures to make sure that people are in excellent condition. Emergency crews need technology to help victims in car accidents, fires, and other emergency situations. If these emergency crews do not have defibrillators, water hoses, hydraulic rescue tools, and other tools then they cannot help people that are in danger.
Technology is a very important part life because it is the only economic force that is guaranteed to move in a forward direction. Without technology people would have never moved up in society and would not have the tools needed to do difficult or untimely tasks. Technology should be used for the good of mankind and should not be taken advantage of just because it is easy to access. People need to contribute to society and use technology to become more informed and learn new things. With new technology becoming available everyday, there is no reason why people should have problems with any task.

I thought this was really awesome.
Casper, which is 12 years old, boards the No3 service at 10.55am from outside his home in Plymouth, Devon, and travels the entire 11-mile route before returning home about an hour later.
On the route, the cat passes an historic dockyard and naval base, a city centre, several suburbs and the city's red light district.
He has been making the journey for so long that all First Bus drivers have now been told to look out for him to ensure he gets off at the right stop.
Susan Finden (corr), 65, a care worker who is Casper's owner, said: "Casper has always disappeared for hours at a time but I never understood where he was going.
"I called him Casper because he had a habit of vanishing like a ghost. But then some of the drivers told me he had been catching the bus.

Gay
I've never talked about this before, but I really need the forum's advice on what could be a crucial decision.
I've suspected for some time now that my girlfriend (Who lives with me) has been cheating on me.
The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up.
She has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I asked their names she always says. "Just some girls from work, you don't know them."
I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive. Although I can hear a car driving off, as if
she has gotten out of the car around the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi?
I once picked up her mobile phone just to see what time it was she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.
Anyway, I've never approached the subject with her. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out and I decided to really check on her.
I decided that I was going to park my motorcycle next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my bike, that
the valve covers on my engine seemed to be leaking a little oil.
Is the something I can fix myself, or should I take it back to the dealer?
