Personally, I do believe that there is some sort of connection there (and, before everyone starts hitting me with sticks, this is my own personal opinion). Having said that, I can't really found this from anything other than personal experience.

Quite. I think that's why many people will vote for him this time around. If I was American, I sure as hell would.

Good request. I was thinking of a LaTeX bar with the most commonly used commands (\frac, \int, \lim, etc) but I never got around to it.

All of those particles are known to exist. The tachyon is purely theoretical - nobody knows whether it actually exists or not. (Also, I suggest you count the number of times they use the word "tachyon" in ST:TNG. It's quite obscene).

Hey, let's see what we get when we google for tachyon frequency: http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~pound/w-geordi.sample !!! In fact, there are only about 10 links total for the phrase "tachyon frequency". I think someone's been having you on.

And what exactly is a "tachyon frequency"?

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/monitor.htm All you ever needed to know. It's a little more complex than "lamps" - they use cathode ray tubes (i.e. a beam of electrons).

Easiest way to do this is just use an ohmmeter when the pot is set to about mid-level. Often the poles aren't marked.

I disabled the e-mail checking thing in Norton.

There are numerous topics on this in the physics forum. I suggest you have a look there.

I completely agree. My education was enhanced a lot by reading books. Admittedly, I did watch a couple hours of TV a day, but not excessive quantities.

Read the link in my first post on the subject.

I believe it only works on your local network. And the 98 equivalent of cmd is dosprmpt (cmd is just a DOS emulator).

I didn't have a timeout problem. My advice would be to either downgrade to a previous version or remove ZoneAlarm and get something else.

Unfortunately I have moderator duties I have to attend to, remember? I'm on there a considerable amount of time anyway. You only have to say my name, and x-chat blinks at me - so I'm pretty easy to reach.

Well, if someone asks me to, I will set it up. However, as Sayo said, it's probably not worth doing atm. I've asked people in the IRC thread to idle in there if nothing else just to boost the numbers, but it is working to a certain extent.

Done. Couldn't think of a better thread title, probably needs one though.

Indeed not, but at least it's answering some useful questions. Split the thread?

When /whois'ing yourself, you'll see your own IP (for clarity's sake) - it's hidden to everyone else. Trust me on that one.

And CEOs of Russian oil companies being arrested.

This can be arranged.

I think there's a certain amount of truth in that statement.

Let me clarify what Sayo said a bit. Your router will connect you to the internet, and your ISP will assign you an IP to use for your connected session. This IP is available to everyone on the internet; they can connect to it and reach you from anywhere, so we can effectively call it an external address. However, on your actual internal network itself, you can have many computers. So on each of these computers, you can assign an internal ip address; that is, ips that you can connect to from your local network only. In my case, I use 192.168.0.1 as my router address, 192.168.0.2 as my computer, 192.168.0.4 as my server and a few others. So effectively the router "routes" internet traffic from your computers to the internet, but shields people from connecting externally to one of your computers. This type of networking is called a VPN. Have a google for port forwarding, this might help you a bit.
