You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A couple of months ago, someone hacked my site by installing malicious .htaccess files in all the root directories.

This last one redirected some of my images to non-existent no-hotlinking sites, thereby breaking at least one site entirely. I have to admit I don't understand their explanation.

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

Is 802.11n backwards compatible? I've had no internet connection at home for over 24 hours now and I have a feeling my aging router is to blame. (Next step to confirm is to find an ethernet cable and hook one computer directly to the modem.)

The N and G routers are about the same price and I'm wondering if there's any advantage to one or the other. (Our current router is 802.11b and is about 4 years old.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can you see if there's a firmware update for your router?

Our wings are not tired

Yes, 802.11n is backwards compatible. 802.11b and 802.11g systems can connect to them. Many of the new routers even run dual networks, one at 2.4GHz and one at 5GHz. Older 2.4GHz systems cannot connect to the 5GHz networks. I have a mixture of machines that are 802.11g and 802.11n. Currently I have four 802.11n networks, one of them runs at 5GHz and some of my devices, like the XBox 360 and the Tivos can't see it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OK, it will probably be faster to ask this because I can't find it through Help. How do you do a line break in Word 2007?

Coding and Sleeping

Isn't it CTRL-ENTER?

Edit: Oops, I was thinking page break.

OK, google helped, it is shift-enter.

we haven't been able to access the Internet from home on our laptops for two days. iTouch works fine. Comcast came out and said it's not them. 2 of the 3 laptops have been taken to my parent's house where they work just fine. any ideas? i really don't want to pay someone to come out.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

When in doubt, reboot the router.
