| | Ok, so today during my business tech. class I learned about a new device. It is a shoe that has a GPS system in it. This dude invented it after his son went missing and they couldn't find it. So he came up with this idea that if people wear this shoe and they go missing then they could easily locate them using GPS (Global Positioning System).
Has anyone ever heard about this device? |

Personally I've never heard of it, but if it was really well known enough wouldn't some kidnapper take off the kid's shoes and toss them somewhere? It just seems like if it were to be famous or even remotely popular then the said people who took the kid would probably look there. I never heard of this before, the only close thing I've seen to this was a chip that gets implanted under your skin and can be used as a GPS tracking device, and it also has all medical records and things to go along with it incase you come into a hospital unconscious without a wallet or any way to know medical info, they can just scan you and find out exactly what blood type you are and everything, avoiding potentially life threatening mistakes and costly complications. I would also like to know more about this shoe thing, though I suppose being a GPS and with today's miniaturizing technology you could put it into just about anything, a ring, a locket, waistband in pants, just have ot make sure somehow it's well guarded and protected from damage or else it's no good.

Wireless Access Point Setup
An issue of range. (12) I have a problem with how my current wireless router is set up, in a certain room I do not get a

buy another wireless router and set it up in the room of no signal, then run a Ethernet from that
router to my wireless one downstairs it should work. But instead of having two separate wireless
connections I was wondering if there is an specific way to use a wireless router as an....
Wireless Router Problems.
Keeps dropping network. (8) I recently bought a laptop(HP Pavilion dv9000) with integrated wireless and I wanted to set-up
wireless in my house. So, I bought a wireless router, more specifically I bought a Netgear 108mps
router, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C0XS0 . Now I got the wireless router before I got
the router and set it up. But made all of the correct connections and ran the setup wizard. I got no
errors or anything. I set the security to WPA2 and set the passphrase and everything correctly also.
Now, when I got my laptop I set it up and everything and it found my wireless netw....
Wireless Vs Wired
(10) I'd just like people's opinions on a simple fact of connectivity, stability, and speed on

although I am well aware that my nForce NVIDIA mobo is more suited to network as it provides a much
better network management than any of the wireless plug in cards or usb adapters that I've yet
to see, I always figured 56mbps was more than enough than what I would need for my internet
connection (considering it's capped at 5mbps tops with the best of conditions). Even if ....

I Just Want To Understand Better
the effect of bandwith on wireless (2) OK, so let's say we have an N network, with all N clients, and a Comcast pipe of 8 megabits per
second. N has a theoretical top speed of 540 mbps, let's say I'm getting 250. But, in
reality, I'm not getting 250, I'm getting 8. So in a way, unless you have a pipe larger then
54 mbps (the theoretical max of G), it is useless to upgrade to N. Is that correct or am I missing
something?....
Linksys Wireless Pci Card
(3) I have an old desktop at home that is used as a second PC (a sort of backup), for example if someone
is using the newer PC, or its running a virus scan or something. Anyway, this desktop was connected
into my network's router by about 30 feet of Cat5 cable, which was then hooked into the PC with
the use of an ethernet-to-USB converter (it has no ethernet port). We decided to move this desktop
elsewhere, which meant the cable would no longer be of use to connect it with. Despite the age of
the PC (around 7 or 8 years old) I decided to make wireless, so that no matter....

Belkin Pre-n Wireless Router And Macbook Pro C2d
Why can't I get the speed to 108? (3) Ok, here's the situation. I've got a Belkin wireless 802.11n (pre-n) router and it works
fine with it's own card in my Dell laptop. 108 Mbps all day long but I can't seem to get
that kind of speed with my MBP C2D. I just downloaded and installed the $2 firmware update
today and it's showing up in network utilities so I know it's active. I just changed the
Belkin to 802.11g only thus giving b the boot. So, according to the software manual, it now will
support g and n. What can I do to get the n speed with this thing? Thanks.....

not many people are investing in HTPC. People think they might have HTPC of their own but I am
talking about the real HTPC--one that you can treat it like your DVD, VCR or Home Threatre surround
sound system. What really makes HTPC? There are several components that truly makes an ordinary PC
to HTPC. From time to come I will be making complete posts of my HTPC. But the very c....
