dish antenna harmful?

papermun — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:20:09 +0800

Hi guys, my neighbor next door installed their astro beyond dish antenna and it's direction is pointing at the 2nd floor of my house directly facing my room.

I would like to ask if there is any harm involved to my personal health.

also i'm a tech enthusiast,and have lots of game consoles,laptops and other electronics in the room.
Is it going to damage my things overtime?

Hopefully there wont be any harmful effects . Because frankly,they're horrible neighbors .
They like to burn thrash in their backyard and affect the entire neighborhood. And they never listen to when we politely requests them to stop.

They're really hard to deal with,so hopefully i dont have to worry about anything.

Please help

I'm gonna make this short.
I was applying for uni,and had alot of photocopies of IC and passport and birth cert. In a file.
I went out today and the file was on the bookshelf.
When i came back,mum told me the maid ran away.

I did not keep track of how many photocopies of documents are in the file.

My important question is,if she were to take some of those photocopies and tried to borrow money from loan shark or something.
Am i at risk?? Or is it even possible for her to borrow money from loan shark by using photocopies of someone else's IC only?

Really worried now.

accidentally clicked on neighbour wifi

papermun — Sun, 02 May 2010 23:07:51 +0800

Hi,well today i was setting up my new router modem,and then there was 2 wireless connections.I was a noob with wireless internet

so i was just using the internet just fine,suddenly my router failed me and gave me loading pages problems,so i tried to reconnect it from the list of wireless connections the usb thingy picked up.
so i clicked on my neighbour's by accident the signal was weak,then it sent on to say connecting,but shortly after my computer said that the signal range is weak and couldnt connect and stuff.
then i checked from the list,the connection wasnt there anymore.Then shortly after my brother came in and told me that i had to click on which connection.

My neighbour's connection had a security feature,but before i was prompted to type in a password or something the connection was lost.

So my question is,did i accidentally do something that i wasnt supposed to??
will i get into trouble for accidentally clicking on someone else's connection?
even though i dont think i actually connected and used it.the signal was lost before i could type in any passwords.

i thought 7 was a new light from vista,i was ready to get out of comfort zone of XP
so when i was trying a clean install of 7 yesterday
The startup was extremely slow.i have to wait for like 20 minutes before they prompted me for language and stuff
sometimes it would freeze up before it even asks me that.
By freezing up i mean mouse is freezed up and caps lock wouldnt light up when i press it.
and when it gets to install it always freezes and never gets past the expanding files stage.

I seriously cannot figure out what is wrong.

Core 2 duo e6600 @ stock
2 gb ddr2 each @ 667 mhz(2 sticks each 1 gb)
Nvidia 250 gts 512 mb GPU
Mobo:Foxconn P9657AA
250 GB SATA HDD
550w Xigmatek PSU

windows 7 types

papermun — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:40:08 +0800

I know there are alot of windows 7 versions out there,i am particularly confused about a few.
One question is should i go for the Ultimate x86 OEM?? because i find it to be cheaper.

But then what is up with alll this N versions and stuff.
My friend says he has 2 window 7s but he is trying to sell away his N edition one.

i am planning to go for 64 bit and might upgrade my motherboard sometime in the near future,so is it better to go for a x86 oem??

And what is an N version,which 1 is more worth the value,OEM or ultimate N?

if possible please provide links for sellers. thanks

[addedon]November 30, 2009, 12:03 am[/addedon]One more question i have 2 gb of ram and c2d e6600 should i use 32 bits or 64 bits?

should i move on to windows 7?

papermun — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:42:34 +0800

I have a few questions.
My spec is:
Core 2 duo e6600@ stock
2 gb 667mhz ram
250 gts 512 mb gpu

i want to know if my pc will take in windows 7 well.
because i am attracted by the direct x 10 function and i dont like xp.
so is the ram still a problem with 7?
and i mostly use my pc for gaming,so will there be a huge performance dfference from direct x 9 to 10??

and if i backup all my files at the D Drive will i lose them after installing windows 7??

thanks

how much will this cost?

papermun — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:22:55 +0800

Core 2 Quad Q9650
2 GB DDR 3 800MHZ rams,with heatsink
a mobo to support my parts and SLI ready
A decent affordable SATA ,i dont use alot of space and this rig will be used only for gameing,as i am going to use the one i am using for downloading and stuff
2X 260 GTX
A decent steady Casing with good cooling but not tooo expensive.
A PSU that can support alll these stuff,i assume i might need more than 600W?

the mouse,keyboard and monitor can be left out,since those can wait.
The OS i have already,but please recommend me which OS is better

i am going to find a job and build my ultimate gaming rig this holiday,so much help is appreciated,gotta know the price range before i find a job.

4+4 pin +12 volt power cable

papermun — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:58:16 +0800

hi i just bought my new xigmatek 500w psu
okay here is my question
in the past my mobo used to have onli 4 pins plugged in but there is 8 holes
but it ran fine
now i have 4+4 pin +12 volt power cable
the 8 pins are seperated with 4 pins each
i cant seem to get both into the slot at my mobo
cuz the cables are kinda places oppositely,so it cant form an 8 pin when i put it together.
so is it ok to use 4 pins??
