Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

So by default there's nothing free to compress in Windows, right?

Huh? XP has built in zip compression utilities. Right click --> Send to --> Compressed (zipped) Folder.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Indeed. Although I have run into XP mchines where this is not an option. I wonder if it was a SP1 thing?

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

Or maybe XP Pro/XP Home?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's an option that can be turned on and off. [link]

The status is NOT quo.

Dumb question. My school linksys isn't letting me log onto my personal network. What's the IP address you use to find settings, again?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thanks, Jessica. Hm. Do I have to put www first? It's not connecting for some reason.

Hm, no idea. You shouldn't have to put www in front of a local IP address, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You might also try 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.0 -- the first two signify the local network, but I've seen the last two vary from one router manufacturer to another.

Is it a web-based thingie to show/edit settings? Then try "http://192.168.0.1" (or whatever the IP address is)
