Chewing Gum
What teachers think about chewing gum in class?

What do teachers (middle school teachers, preferably) students think about chewing gum in class? Why do not you like? I have to write a persuasive essay for English class about why not let that chewing gum in class and I'd like some of the reasons teachers. Why bother chewing gum?

There are several reasons for why teachers do not like gum in class. 1. That is stuck everywhere, especially under the chairs and desks. Nobody wants to sit with someone before chewing gum. 2. It contains high amounts of sugar, and this is difficult in voice and musical instruments. 3. It is a major distraction, especially when a person continually blows bubbles from the entire class. Hope that helped

Ok i need help RF/RCA Adapters and/or modulators?

Alright. My little sister got a Coby 19 inch Flat screen tv for christmas. The problem is when we cant connect Coaxial to it. So is there anything out there that does the opposite of a RF Modulator?Where can i buy it? That would be really helpful. and ive tried the old vcr thing. it doesnt work. unless i have the wiring wrong.
so essentially i need something that has this on it.

COAX-IN
COAX-OUT(optional)
RCA-OUT
RCA-IN(again optinal)
it can have more but i need the coax in and rca out.
i looked at the box and it says its a tv. but the problem is i can connect say an antenna in…but if i connect the coaxial cable in. it doesnt work,
The tv does have an antenna in but when i connect the coaxial in it. Nothing shows up and on the dish screen i have it on the right channel and everything but i still cant see it..

With no RF input, your sister got a Monitor NOT a TV.
You need a tuner or a set-top box or a converter.

The VCR should work.

Setting up a Comcast Motorola modem but getting ‘no connectivity’ due to router IP address?

I am trying to set up my Comcast Motorola SB5120 modem. All cables are connected properly, but when I run the install CD it says I have no connectivity. When talking to a Comcast rep, he mentioned my IP address is that of a router (192.168.100.2) although there is currently no router connected to the laptop or modem. I have tried ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew to no avail – I still have the same router IP address. Is there a way to refresh to a new IP address so that I can get connectivity with my Comcast modem? The last couple of times I have worked with the Comcast rep, they transfer me to a Microsoft customer service rep who is unable to assist me. Thanks so much.

192.168.100.2 is what’s called a non-routable IP address. This means it can’t be used for internet connectivity, since internet routers won’t route them to other routers. So yes, that’s a huge problem if you want to get out to the internet and don’t have a DSL/Cable router handling the IP addresses.

It seems that your computer isn’t picking up an IP address from Comcast. Since this should not be the case, the first thought I’d have is that you are using a static IP address rather than getting one assigned by comcast. This needs to be changed in your network settings. To check this, do the following:

Open control panel (this assumes Vista) and open the Network and Sharing Center control panel

Find the text link that says View Status (it should be to the right, less than halfway down the page)

A new window should open. Find the Properties button and click on it.

Find “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and double-click on it.

Make sure “Obtain an IP address automatically” is checked.

This is the first thing I would check.

Sounds like you used the wrong LNB to align with what means the LNB another 9deg in the wrong direction.

Upgrading to Sky +?

Currently I have a standard Sky box, but when I moved house, the new property and was equipped with a quad LNB and 2 sources, dish is ready to connect to a Sky + box. Obviously I'm using only one of them at the time. When I go to the website of the sky and apply to upgrade my box to your Sky + box £ 99, I do not mind paying, but there is a cost of £ 60 Intallation standard. I am quite capable of screwing in the plate 2 channel myself. Is there anyway to get Sky + without £ 60 fee for installation? Thank you very much Mike

buy the Sky + box out of another person other than the sky we did and that works a treat :-)

How can you establish a network connection between XP and Vista using a direct cable?

Me and a friend of mine has tried things on Vista to connect both of our laptops. The easy part was the creation of a network connection for Windows XP. When it came to creating a connection network in Vista, we could not think of a way how. We could not find an option where you can connect to a home network or small office use a LAN cable. Can I connect a laptop with XP and one with Vista without using a router?

This is possible if both computers are shared and use a crossover cable. It was not an option to connect to a network through a router?

What is a good 5×8 satellite multiswitch for DirecTV?

I have a 3 LNB satellite from DirecTV with the 5×4 multiswitch already built in. I’d like to be able to run signals to all the rooms in the house. I think a 5×8 will work OK for my setup. Don’t want anything too expensive. I’ve seen the Spaun brand run around $350-$600. Out of my price range. Looking for maybe $100-150. What is a good brand? I’ve seen Eagle Aspen, Channel Vision, Channel Master, Terk, Zinwell…… CNet and epinions don’t really have good support for these items. Thanks in advance for the help.
Having some issues with the installation now. Besides the install guy just doing a crap job, now today I find out I only have 3 of the 4 wires running out of the dish, and the whole thing isn’t even grounded. There is one coax wire and the ground wire just dangling under the soffit. Supervisor is coming on Monday to take a look. Hope he plans on getting an earful.

I’ve never had any problems with my Terk. Always installed indoors, although capable of outside installation. I’ve owned/used a 2×4 and 5×8.

I have a 4 month old male german shepherd puppy. He seems to be a bit of a worrier.?

When I take him for a walk, and it doesn’t matter where we go, whether it be around our neighborhood, or on a trail in the woods. He will eventually grab hold of the leash and try to pull me back home. If I coax him on a bit further, he will follow, but in protest, and when we do turn to go back home, he is like a bullet, like a horse heading back to the barn for food, Is this a common trait in a german shepherd pup, to be a little unsure??????????

Just a homebody I guess.

A pup is very curious about things but does find security in home.

Be patient – it will come around.
