Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As long as she mixes the ashes with four parts peat.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Peat?! God, technology is so complicated.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Okay, possible stupid question alert: Can I have more than one modem functioning at once without screwing something up?
I have cable coming into my house in 4 rooms. Two of them are hooked up to cable boxes. One is hooked up to the modem in my office, from which goes the wire to my work laptop. The 4th is unused. I want to keep my work laptop wired in. I also want to get wireless working for my other, personal laptop and my Roku. Can't I simply put a new modem on the 4th cable wire and hook the wireless router up to that?

Zen, why not just hook the modem up to the wireless? Usually wireless ones still allow you to plug at least one ethernet cable in also. For example, I have ethernet throughout the house, so I have the cable modem/box downstairs, hooked up to to the wireless router...and then a cable coming from that hooking it into the house ethernet system. My work computer upstairs is on the ethernet, but the rest of the computers usually just use wireless.
