    Wireless Reception

    The router/adapter was excellent, its just the last week and a bit that its been playing up for no good reason after working for 3-4 years without issue. Im reluctant to scrap it unless it totally drops dead, I spent a good $400-$500 on it. If it is dead I'll probably go the LAN route as I...

    Wireless Reception

    Its very temperamental. I just downloaded something and noticed increased speeds. Ran speedtest again and the speed has jumped up 10mb/sec. But the signal strength still sucks. Annoying, I dont think I'll ever pay for wireless gear again. Major letdown and super expensive.

    Wireless Reception

    Its hard to say which is broken. Because my laptop gets the same signal as the desktop (1-2 bars), the reception does improve right in the line of sight of the router, but I should really be getting the full 5 bars. For some dumb reason I can only select channel 6 in my router config panel...

    I have carbide.ui Unfortunantly I never bothered to learn to use the damn thing and none of the layout formats seemed to match my phone, even though my phone was listed as compatible (Nokia E51). Meh.

    Just quickly checked this thread, taking a break from an essay :( For now I think specialties can be extracting images, photo manipulation. Maybe Ill get to be more of an all rounder later.

    Which speakers i shd buy?

    Not that I'm an expert, but screen size shouldnt be a factor when buying speakers. Its all to do with application and room size AFAIK.

    High res hardware pictures needed

    Too big for inside a store, but not too big for one hanging at the front of the store at the entrance. Printing at that size is done on a large format machine, I dont know what mediums theyd use, but they can do anything paper based. I once did a 4x1 metre print, they print it onto film paper...

    High res hardware pictures needed

    My conversions are estimates, but for a 10'x5' print: For viewing on a screen at scale, the image would be 9354x4252 pixels at 72dpi If you wanted photo realistic quality, the ppi (the amount of pixels per inch of paper needs to be between 240 and 300. Working with the bare minimum, your...

    High res hardware pictures needed

    It better not be. Come print time, those images will be coming out ugly as hell. Hopefully not intended for close up viewing.
