Open Question: Do you feel bad for Ruby?

Now I am talking about the tv series on Style network. And no I am not talking about her weight, loss because that is great, and she is working really hard to get healthy. That is awesome. I am asking if you feel bad for her, because of that boyfriend of hers, Danny. I feel bad for her because she loves him so much, but he's such a doosh. I mean really! He wouldn't marry her, because she was 700 pounds or whatever. Now she is losing the weight and down to like 250, and he's still being a doosh, saying oh she needs to lose more weight. He should be happy that she dropped like 500 pounds, not bitching that she still needs to lose more. And then Ruby is so naive, that she is like oh Danny loves me, he is so hot, tehehehe. Acts like a freaking teenager. She is old enough, she should know better. And Danny should stop being so superficial, about her weight. I mean if he loved her, he should have stuck with her, and helped her lose the weight, not dump her, come back years later when she's thin and get back with her. That's why I feel bad for her. She deserves better. more

Open Question: How can I get a girl?

Those who answered the last gf question i left out some details. Ok, here we go. I am currently dating a 12 year old girl on Playstation Network . She lives in canada i live in Pennsylvania. We love each other very much. I just announced yesterday to all my friends and family members that i'm officially done dating in real life. And has moved on to dating on the Internet. My psn girl said she would move all the way from canada to philly just to be with me. I said you're such a sweetheart. But i realized i need to get something done. I need to get a girl in real life. I currently have a girl in real life but i'm tired of being bullied for her not looking hot. Because everybody calls her ugly. And she loves me very very much. Like she'll follow me every where i go. Even though we're not in the same class. So I'm sad because everybody has a hot girl except for me. My friend has got this girl i was interested in . But she rejected me last wednesday . I don't really trade girls my friend from along time gave me the idea. It was hard to get the trade done because the girls had a hard time deciding whether they would go with the person that they were being traded to . I didn't really like the idea. I just tried it. But My girl that everyone calls ugly is a nice girl. Like she's a such a sweetheart she would never be mean to anybody. But the sad thing is this is the last year i can go out with her because we're going to different high school. It will be hard to get another girl like her. But her sister doesn't like the fact that i go out with her. But her sister is way hotter. SO what do i do? more

Open Question: Did you ever have strangers add you on Facebook? I got this weirdo here...?

A girl from a "different" city got a new Facebook account and added me and a few of my friends (all in the same network). The next day she put up some sexy pics of her. She said hi to me in chat and asked where I'm from etc... How did she find me and why would she adds me? I don't even have ANY pictures or much info on my FB so it can't be because "I'm hot". I don't even have a profile pic. So that makes me feel she's someone I know trying to stalk me or pull a prank on me. I somehow don't think she's a spammer or a bot, but rather a real person. Because if she was a spammer, she should have way more friends than just 8, and in different networks too. Also, if she was a spammer, then shouldn't she be systematic and do the same thing to all my friends? I asked my friends and they all don't know her. But some said she chatted with them too, and a friend said she didn't chat with him but posted on his wall. So she did different things to different ppl. I just want to know if she is a bot/spammer or a real person, someone I know playing a prank on me or trying to stalk me. I have a few suspects. I even sent an email to her to see if I would get some kind of phishing scheme like "going to this website" or something. It's been a few days and I got nothing. So do you think she is a real person or a bot? more

Open Question: Leaving or staying with my bf after he cheated?

I have been dating this guy for 2 and a half year, he cheated on me once when I was on a business trip but then he apologized, saying he was sorry and that it had only be a moment of weakness....Despite the delusion I have decided to forgive him and give him an other shot. However, since that happened I have not been able to truly trust him again so I have created a fake account on a networking website, with the picture of a nice, hot girl and I have contacted him, What he said? He responded saying that he could meet "her" up when his gf (me) wasn't in town. Can you believe it? I thought he changed instead he is still trying to hook up with other girls. I don't know what to do. I would like to be strong enough and leave him. Do you think I should tell him I am the girl that contacted him on the website? Pls help Thanks What am I suppose to do? more

Open Question: Please read my speech? May need to be improved?

He was hot. The perfect guy, every girl wants. She loved him with passion. She thought she knew everything about him. His FaceBook profile described him as the perfect gentleman. In reality, he was a freak. He sold drugs, was a convicted murderer, and was on the run. She gave him all her information. The day they were supposed to meet, he snuck into her house, and murdered her. Hello, my name is John Doe, and today I will talk about the impact the internet has on teens. The internet has millions maybe billions of websites. You can find anything on the internet, from dictionaries to social networking sites. Facebook and MySpace are two of the many websites that connect you with family and friends. Internet Relationships Internet relationships can lead to rapings, killings, and kidnappings. You should not start a relationship on the internet unless you have met the person, and know the person. You should NEVER trust anyone on the internet you haven’t met. They can make up a whole new person and make you believe they are that person. It is proven that teenagers need the most sleep besides kids. So why are they the most sleep deprived? Is it because they stay up late at night chatting with their friends on Facebook or MSN? Facebook, as well as MySpace can stop your child from doing their homework, they can get so hooked on these sites that they couldn’t care less about doing their homework. Does the internet have a behaviour effect on teens? On the internet teens have access to all different kinds of inappropriate things such as: Violence, and adult chat rooms. They can chat with people they do not know. They can see things they shouldn’t be seeing at their age. They can start swearing at their parents, or at school. They will most likely give in to peer pressure and do drugs, or drink alcohol like they see on the internet. Do teens rely too much on the internet to get their homework done? Teens use the internet to figure out things they don’t know. They search their homework on the internet, and instead of learning from their homework, they are just copying it from the computer. Teens can also ask people to tell them the answers to their homework on other sites. The internet keeps their brains from working. They only want to get it right instead of figuring it out for themselves. Cyber-bullying is another thing that can happen to teens on the internet. They can post stuff about another person on the internet, they can start hate groups on Facebook, or post hateful videos on YouTube. Another person can save it, and send it to anyone they want, and it will never be completely removed from the internet. Teens all over the world are becoming less and less literate because of internet slang. Teens are starting to use internet slang in essays, and when doing their homework. Many teens use abbreviations and numbers when typing on the internet. This habit makes writing papers in school difficult. Not all teens use the internet for bad, time consuming things, but a majority do. The internet can be used for all kinds of good things such as: Looking up information, connecting with your family and friends, and learning new things. The Internet can be used for good and bad, it all depends on how you use it. By the way i changed my name in my speech. i dont want perverts finding me. more

Open Question: Solutions for broadcasting video on a closed-circuit cable system?

I'm trying to find a solution to output video and audio from a device (HDD-based media player, workstation, server, etc) to either coaxial or composite. The device needs to have: - High availability (as it will repeat the selected video 24x7x365) - Heat dissipation (the equipment will be housed in a fairly warm equipment room/IDF) - Software to schedule the start of the video The following isn't required, but desired: - A single device to output several seperate video streams - Network connectvity for remote configuration - The ability to resume broadcast after a power outage I'm already using a couple of IOMEGA Screenplay devices, but these aren't meant to play 24x7 (they are running VERY hot) and the only thing I can do is put one video on each and hit repeat. Any ideas? more

Resolved Question: Is Fox News the reason Obama's poll numbers are dropping so fast?

Or is it his failing policies and his paying little attention to real problems while focusing on Socializing Health Care??? Syndicated columist Simon Heffer writes: "Obama's big problem," a senior Democrat told me, "is that four times as many people watch Fox News as watch CNN." The Fox network is a remarkable cultural phenomenon… With little rest, it pours out rage 24 hours a day: its message is of the construction of the socialist state, the hijacking of America by "progressives" who now dominate institutions, the indoctrination of children, the undermining of religion and the expropriation of public money for these nefarious projects…. it is manifestly stirring up political activism against Mr Obama..." Yet the same article announces: "Barack Obama seems unable to face up to America's problems" writes Simon Heffer in New York. Is it all Fox's fault Obama is falling faster in the public eye than a hot rock? Or is he to blame for his own demise as "Messiah-in-Chief"? WHAT SAY YOU AMERICA?

Resolved Question: Why do I always choke in relationships?

I always choke in relationships. I'm such a choker. I'm more of a choker than McNabb. Every time i'm in a relationship I always choke. I'm 14 and I'm good for choking in relationships and I'm ugly as hell. Because everybody says so. I go out with a girl and i'm out of her league. But she's a sweet nice girl. That's why i love her. She may not be mega hot but at least she's nice. But i've been crying for the last few days because I don't wanna separate from her because i love her. So i've been dating on playstation network lately. Because i'm through with philadelphia girls this is a mean city with a bunch of mean people. I like delaware and carolina girls. So all the girls call me ugly all the hot ones and ugly ones. I just got rejected by a nerd! that's embarrassing. this is how i look http://www.flickr.com/photos/bacone1/ more

Resolved Question: Why are girls so hard to get?

Like, I always get rejected by the hot ones. And they call me UGLY or say byeeeeeeeee UGLY. All boys and girls call me ugly and it hurts me inside. At times i may look like a angel on the outside but deep down in side i'm really upset it depends on what you did to me. Like my playstation network girl i went out with . She broke up with me and had me Pussy Whipped. And she broke up with me because I like the Pussycat Dolls. And she hates them but we had things in common. But i don't like being black i wanted to be born white. Because i was raised in a white neighborhood. That's probally why i'm so nice. But if it was a black neighborhood i'm sure i'd be ghetto or probally in the middle idk. I think i'd be more ghetto. I don't think a girl would go out with a boy with messed up hands and a BUSTED knee( my knee is weak not broken) . And on top of that i play neigborhood football i played DE. And i considered myself to be like Aaron Kampman. Well we both got BUSTED knees. Look at me http://www.flickr.com/photos/bacone1/ more

Resolved Question: How should i solve my school problem?

Hell i got no problem dating on internet because i'm on internet 24/7. So it don't matter.Damn I 'm a 8th grader i'm dying to get to high school. But the thing is everybody calls me ugly. I agree so i just suck it all up inside and cry when i get home. I cry to girls to let them know i want to go out with them really bad. But it's like i got some feminine feelings NO HOMO. Not that feeling when a girl really likes a boy and when the boy don't wanna talk to them they cry. I'm not like that because i'm used to people not wanting to talk to me. But being rejected and girls breaking up with me. Don't call me cute just to make me feel better. UNLESS you mean it DON'T BULLSH*T ME. Because I HATE PHILADELPHIA GIRLS EVEN THOUGH I HAD ONE. I'm ugly even the hot girls say so. Me http://www.flickr.com/photos/bacone1/ more

Resolved Question: Do utility cutoffs happen frequently in your country?

Here in Romania, it often happens that you don't have hot running water (or any running water at all) for several hours sometimes (and never during nighttime). You sometimes don't have heating during autumn (when it starts getting really cold) or even winter. Power cuts also happen, but a little more rarely. Also, my internet providers find it wise to cut the service around 12 hours a day because they need to expand the network or something like that (in fact, even now I'm worried that I might lose my internet connection before submitting the question). Of course we pay for full-time services. I live in Bucharest (the capital), in a block of flats. My question is, does this also happen in other countries, or is it strictly related to the incompetence of Romanian service providers? Is it something that affects people everywhere? Do I have a right to be bothered by this? I'd like to know whether you live in a block of flats or in your own house, too.@tehcawk: Yeah, it's very pretty maybe up in the mountains, and only at altitudes high enough so that our well-mannered excursionists can't reach and throw their garbage in there. Anywhere else it's just full of retards and ugly blocks of flats like mine. Or dirty little houses for peasants. more

Resolved Question: What is your opinion about Costa Mesa won't enforce anti-solicitation law?

COSTA MESA - The city of Costa Mesa has placed a moratorium on its anti-solicitation ordinance that civil rights groups say targets day laborers seeking employment on public streets. A month ago, the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, along with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, filed a lawsuit on behalf of day laborers challenging the ordinance.The lawsuit alleged that the 2005 ordinance violates the day laborers First Amendment rights and bans "active solicitation" by, of or from people in moving cars and in commercial parking areas that have signs prohibiting such actions. "They know they are going to lose," said Naui Huitzilopochtli, a member of Colectivo Tonantzin, a day laborer advocacy group. "The day laborers are happy that they settled for the moment." The city of Costa Mesa has agreed to halt enforcing the ordinance pending a decision by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeal on a challenge to a similar anti-solicitation ordinance in the city of Redondo Beach, according to an ACLU release. Costa Mesa officials did not immediately respond to calls seeking comment. Click here for more immigration-related news. The solicitation ordinance is designed to address conduct that creates a public safety hazard and obstructs the entrances and exits to public streets and parking lots, according to the city. The city has for years tried to tackle issues related to day laborers. In 2005, the city shuttered a job center, which citizens argued attracted illegal immigrants and wasted taxpayers' money. The center – formerly on Placentia Avenue – opened in 1988 in response to complaints about loitering, traffic problems and unsafe conditions when laborers searched for work on streets and at parks. In September, police went to five hot spots throughout the city and arrested 12 day laborers for illegally soliciting work in three locations. The day laborers were later deported. Police Chief Christopher Shawkey said in a recent interview that police received 114 complaints from residents and business owners about day laborers intimidating customers and swarming vehicles prior to the September arrests. The day laborers were free to be in the locations if there were no violations of the ordinance, Shawkey added. He said the city has reached out to nonprofit and church groups to let them know about the guidelines of the ordinance. According to the ACLU, the ordinance also stops a wide range of other groups, including small businesses that use handheld advertising on public streets, homeless people who seek donations, people in fund-raising activities and students who try to get the attention of passing motorists for car washes. Besides asking city officials to halt the ordinance, the lawsuit asks that the city pay damages to Colectivo Tonanztin in an amount to be determined at trial. The suit also asks for reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses of the litigation. http://www.ocregister.com/news/day-237171-ordinance-laborers.html more

Resolved Question: What's with these Olympics hockey commercials?

You know the ones with 14 year old girls that don’t play hockey and go to McDonalds. What’s up with that shit? Have they lost their minds? Until last week, I didn’t even know girl’s hockey exists. Talk about a waste of time. Yeah let’s go spend 5 hours watching a bunch sweaty balding lesbians chasing a puck dressed like Wayne Gretzky on crack. Watching whimmin play sports instead of men is like watching a mule race instead of a horse; Impractical and stupid and a complete waste of time. Men always have been and always will be the stronger, faster, and the more intelligent sex. We invented sports and we’re the best at it. Discussion over. That’s probably why no one watches whimmin’s sports and pretends to care about it once every 4 years. Deep down inside everyone hates it. Even the whimmin who do it. They hate it too. One day they should apologize for wasting our time. NBC. Just when you thought they couldn’t get anymore liberal, they outdo themselves and take self righteous lesbianism to the next level. Seriously, one day NBC’s just gonna fall off the left side of the earth and never come back. Good riddance. Speaking of falling off the earth did you see the one with the **** snowboarding in space? Hahahahaha! I don’t even know who she is. Probably just another wannabe **** who wishes she had a *****. That should have been Shaun White by the way. For Christ sake, the guy’s practically reinvented the sport, if anyone deserved to be in that stupid commercial it was him. He’s the best and no female snowboarder will ever stand up to him because she’ll get crushed like an ant. That just shows how lazy the feminist writers are getting. By the way have you ever seen a whomyn in space? Have you!? Because this is what it’s like: “Veteran female spacewalker and Endeavor astronaut Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper lost her grip on a backpack-sized bag on Nov. 18 while cleaning up a mess from a leaking grease gun she was carrying to help mop up metal grit from inside a massive gear that turns the space station's starboard solar wings.” “The tool bag cost $100,000.” Fail. Kind of like whimmin in the Olympics. A giant cluster****. They can’t take the pressure. All they do is fail. They can hide it in the summer but not at the Winter Games. God no. Once those whimmin take off on the ice they’re on their own. And it’s all downhill from there. And how about that bobsledding. Some Georgian althlete dies and the whimmin get moved to the Kiddie Section. And they’re still crashing… Pathetic. If I could just have 10 cents for every time I turn on NBC and watch Lindsey Vaughn crashing down a hill I’d be watching it from a private yacht. That’s supposed to be entertaining? Now that I think of it that is pretty entertaining. I just think they should rename the sport, you know to something more fitting… Lesbian Ski Crash. Yeah that sounds about right. And while on the subject of Lindsey Vaughn. What a ******* sleazebag! Didn’t she train for this? She get’s one ******* medal, the one she wants, and then she ***** on everyone’s face. How American. On a side note, that Julia Mancuso’s kinda hot. Too bad she’s a ****. Maybe she could pose naked. Then she’ll be remembered. On second thought I could probably find that leaked on the Internet somewhere. Still, she’s got nothing on those Turkish figure skaters, now that’s what I’m talking about. Anyway I think it’s about time the Olympic Committee came to their senses and sent whimmin’s sports to the can where it belongs. If you’re a Lesbian and watch it for sexual reasons, that’s understandable, but still inappropriate for NBC. That’s what Lifetime and the Food Network are for. Enjoy. And I don’t care if it’s “tradition” to have whimmin in the Olympics. Feminists **** on tradition. They shit on every male tradition in the book and every tradition that makes sense. They don’t deserve to say that word. In conclusion, for whimmin the Winter Olympics is just like real life, if it weren’t for Camel Toe, no one would pretend to care. And for the rest of you ***** who want a “real” gold medal. The line for a sex change is that way. menarebetterthanwhimmin. more

Resolved Question: Unlocked iPhone is hot to the touch and won't turn on?

I have the iPhone 3GS 32GB that I got in July 2009. The screen was broken on it and I just had that replaced last week. Today I woke up and when I took my phone off the charger I noticed it was quite warm. I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't come on at all. I had it in my pocket when taking it to a cell phone store and it felt as though it was getting hotter. Too hot to touch. My phone is unlocked and now on the T-Mobile network so I'm not sure if I can take it to Apple or not. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what's wrong with my phone. Is it fixable? more

Resolved Question: My boyfriend hates me! please help me.?

i am 27years old. i run my own hair salon and i have amazing boyfriend. I have been going out with my boyfriend Jake for 9months now, i own my own flat, he lives with me most of the time as he was renting his flat and I asked him to move in with me as he is at my house most of the time and it saves him renting his house when i have my own house. He does give me money to go towards electricity and all that stuff. Since he has been living with me it has been great and my past history with men is CRAP, all my ex's have either been criminals (my last ex was money lending headcase who told me a pack of lies about himself) or psycho's, AND I'M NOT KIDDING! But Jake is a personal trainer and he is not like any of my ex's, he's kind, caring, honest and he's super hot which is an extra. I have a lot of girlfriends who come round to my flat and Jake never complains, but recently i had a pack of my friends round and one of my friends saw my picture background on my mobile and they used the bluetooth thing and sent it to each others mobiles. It was photo of Jake naked on bed sleeping showing off his full front, i had taken it a while ago when he was sleeping and just intended to have it as my background. It ended up online and he is in a bad mood with me, he is really annoyed about it. He found out through friend as it was on social networking site. It is off the computer now and i had nothing to do with it going online, but he ignoring me all time and he sleeping in spare room. I never seen him this annoyed. If he had took picture of me and all his friends got it i would have went mad. I don't know what to do as he won't speak to me and i feel awful. My friends work for me in salon to which he will come into a pick me up, he isn't picking me up anymore as he knows they have all seen it. He has great body and it really attractive, so its not like he doesn't look good. What do i do to make this up to him? more

Resolved Question: Why are illegals standing on street corners holding sign hire me Mexican American Legal Defense files lawsuit?

Why are illegals standing on street corners holding sign hire me Mexican American Legal Defense files lawsuit allowing lawbreakers to not only be in the country illegally but demand we give them jobs as well ?COSTA MESA – Barred from soliciting work by distracting drivers, day laborers are holding "Hire Here" signs and standing still on sidewalks throughout the city, according to the Daily Pilot. A city ordinance adopted in 2005 prohibits "active solicitation" by, of or from people in moving cars. It also bans solicitation in commercial parking areas that have signs prohibiting such actions.However, the ordinance allows people to stand on sidewalks with signs, distribute literature to pedestrians and talk to others in lawfully parked vehicles. Earlier this month, the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, along with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, filed a lawsuit against the city challenging its ordinance targeting day laborers. Police officials have said the department constantly enforces the city's anti-solicitation ordinance. In September, police arrested a total of 12 day laborers for illegally soliciting work at three hot spots in the city, including the 7-Eleven at 2150 Placentia Avenue. The day laborers were ultimately deported. The city has for years tried to tackle issues related to day laborers. In 2005, the city shuttered a job center, which citizens argued attracted illegal immigrants and wasted taxpayers' money. The center – formerly on Placentia Avenue – opened in 1988 in response to complaints about loitering, traffic problems and unsafe conditions when laborers searched for work on streets and at parks. http://www.ocregister.com/news/laborers-234809-day-city.html more

Resolved Question: Ugly friend thinks she's hot?

Ok now not trying to sound mean of anything, my friend is 'chubby' putting it nicely. She wears clothes that really dont flatter her shape, or cover anything up... so everything 'pops out' muffin tops, yadda yadda. I make excuses that i'm sick or outta town when she wants to go out. i feel so bad for saying this, but i dont want to be seen with her in public :( her profile pic for all the social networking sites we're on is the same, and she looks awful in it. she brings herself down about her weight, so i tell her to stop with the chocolate and fizzy drinks and get out for a walk. she always says 'i'll start tomorrow'. when i go out running, i run by her house, have offered for her to come with me, but she wont get out of bed (i go out around 7.30am, pass her house around 8) she's a lost cause and everyone feels sorry for her... dunno what to do...i'm only doing it because there is sooooo many bad things going around about her... people laugh, and it really breaks my heart... i'm doing this to help her, yeah, i might be a bit stuck up or selfish or whatever you lowlifes are calling me... you cant judge me. i life a life without sweets, chocolate, fizzydrinks, but i'm not trying to push all my ways onto her, just some more exercise. the only exercise she gets is walking to the fridge :( soooo what i'm selfish and i love myself. if you dont love yourself, who will? (obvious answer significant other, but even they can have their bad days)oh, btw, if i had my way i wouldnt be friends with this person at all... she's wayyyy to clingy... and i'm just being nice by texting her occasionally. if she wants to be seen with me, she'd want to get her act together... more

Resolved Question: Do Disney shows ever poke fun at Nickelodeon?

There are numerous episodes of Nick shows where are are obviously poking fun at the Disney channel. Here are a few: "Drake and Josh", "Battle of Panthatar" - Josh sits down to watch TV and you hear a voice say, 'And now back to Suzanna Louisiana!' Obviously they are referring to "Hannah Montana". Josh then says "NOPE!" and changes the channel. "Back and the Barnyard" (not sure what episode) - Freddy the ferret is tied down, and being forced to watch a television as torture. On the TV you hear singing, something like, 'We're in high school, it's a musical!' And Freddy starts to scream. "iCarly", "iTake on Dingo" - The iCarly team get angry when they realize that the TV show "Totally Teri" on the Dingo channel is stealing their ides from iCarly. The Dingo channel is very similar to the Disney channel. While watching "Totally Teri" you can hear very corny jokes coming from the television, which Sam and Carly fake laugh to. Later, they talk about the rumor of Charles Dingo (the creator of the Dingo network) being frozen in the Dingo studios, just like the rumors about Walt Disney being frozen as well. "Big Time Rush", "Big Time Bad Boy" - The boys learn that WayneWayne is not as tough as he appears to be when they learn that he played the very dorky 'Towel Boy' on "Magic Middle School" (which seems to be a take on "High School Musical" and "Wizards of Waverly Place"). They show a small clip of "Magic Middle School" where three basketball players (wearing a logo similar to a wild cat) spray hoses "magically" (and very poorly done on purpose) onto the towel boy. "He looks hot!", "Better cool him off!" (towel boy is sprayed), "I guess I'm the one that needs the towel!" So, are there any episodes or movies from the Disney channel that do the same to Nickelodeon? I love Nickelodeon, but I don't really watch the Disney channel, so I wouldn't know. No hating please, I'm posting this all in good fun. :)I'm asking ABOUT the Disney channel. I'm posting examples from Nickelodeon. Silly me expecting people to actually READ my question on Yahoo Answers... more

Voting Question: Need help making a decision on entertainment options?

Just recently, a dilemma has come up. I originally thought I knew what I was going to purchase (and I've thought about it; it's not just a case where I'm hot to spend my money). However, a second option has come into mind. My choices are: 1. 42-50 inch (because I have not decided exactly how big of a TV I want) 1080p HDTV w/ PS3 (or maybe an Xbox 360). 2. New computer. With a TV and a gaming console: I can relax when I have time, play with my friends over Xbox Live OR PS3 Network (depending on which console I decide to purchase), watch TV when tired or before bed, have my own TV to my self, have my own games to my self (tired of arguing with siblings over whos "turn" it is to watch/play), use the ultimate Blu-Ray experience, have my own movie player, etc. Anything else? With a computer (probably going to get an iMac if I roll with a computer): Have a nice, powerful machine, finally play World of Warcraft with all my friends (I've took a 3-6 month break, but I'm thinking about breaking back into the game again), not have to worry about a slow computer, do any desktop and school work with no crashing/freezing, and lots more with an iMac. Anything else? NOTE: I do not have a TV nor a gaming console in my room, yet. I do have a Macbook with Intel GMA 950 graphics, so they are horrible and can not play barely any games, however, it is nice and perfect for browsing the web and doing any school work. I've always wanted my own TV and gaming console (now is my chance), but an iMac is pretty appealing. I'm most likely going to get the TV and gaming console (as they seem to last longer than computers in this technology world), however, I just wanted to hear some other opinions before I make a final decision. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. more

Resolved Question: Is it possible to use 2 separate internet connections simultaneously?

Hi, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I have 2 network adapters- one wired to my router and one wireless connected to a wi-fi hot spot (2 completely independent connections through 2 different ISPs). Both connections give about the same bandwidth. My issue is Windows only sends traffic through one at a time no matter what. I'm wondering if there is a 3rd party software (preferably free, but if not any good suggestion will be appreciated) that will allow traffic to be sent through both connections simultaneously. If you are actually reading my question you deserve a cookie. Thanks in advance for any help!Seriously people read the fucking details...I'm wanting to devote the connections to independent streams of data, i.e. Connection A to BitTorrent, Connection B to Firefox. I am aware that 'splitting' a stream will not work; I'm just wanting to route 2 independent data streams to 2 independent connections.The computer has 2 NICs- one wireless and one wired.
