1 AnswerChemistry9 years agoWhat happened to my network?
After a power surge yesterday, my local and internet access went down (Ihave a wireless router-Linksys to be exact). I can access the internet now, but only on an unsecured Linksys connection. Does anyone out there understand whats going on with this.
p.s. I've power-cycled my modem and router (shut everything down for at least 5 minutes as suggested on the Network Magic site, but still my personal network won't show up on the wireless connection list. b.t.w. all the lights on my modem are on and all the lights on the right hand side of my router are on-I've tried to "manually connect" to the wireless network, but the notice on the screen comes up saying that my router can't be accessed-so then how can I be connected to the Linksys network?
1 AnswerComputer Networking10 years agohow do I clean a Century woodstove?
I have a Century brand wood-burning stove which has an upper plate inside the burn box which is supposed to reduce the ammount of smoke that goes up the chimney or something or other-however, even the owners manual does not come with instructions on how to remove it for cleaning (when I clean out my chimney from above, the soot is falling down on top of this metal plate and I'm not exactly sure how to get the soot out from the top of my woodstove. Does anyone have a century woodstove who has encountered this problem before and how did you go about resolving it?

2 AnswersElections1 decade agoWho is interested in standing up for the right to free speach in Afghanistan?
It's a matter of life and death for Sayed Pervez Kambacsh, a 23 year-old journalist who has been arrested and faces execution for alledgedly distributing material which maintains that the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammed approve of the mistreatment and oppression of women. The Center for Inquiry ( a D.C.-based think-tank that promotes reason and secular values), has enacted a petition for his release, citing that even Afghanistan has laws protecting free speach and that Kambacsh was not in violation of the Afghani Constitution or Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This link should offer the petition that addresses his demand for release:

2 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhat group played the music for tonight's episode of "The Simpsons"?
The title of the episode was "the Debarted" , and I believe this was a brand new episode--it featured the voice talents of Topher Grace as a kid that winds up ratting out all of Bart's schemes to Principal Skinner--the episode's background music had a definite modern Celtic Rock sound.
1 AnswerComedy1 decade agoFreethinkers!Have any of you heard about House Resolution 888? Would any of you be interested in stopping it?
It's a resolution which proposes that the first week of May be recognized as a "National Religious Recognition Week". The language in which it is worded contains some VERY inaccurrate statements about religion's role in the founding of this country. If you feel that this is a violation of separation of Church and State e-mail your Congressperson and Representative and tell them to vote "NO" on H.R. 888. If you do not know how to contact your government representatives, you can go to the Council for Secular Humanism website and search for H.R.888 for a form that will do all the work for you!

7 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoSo the pope just recently declared war on Santanism and the occult. What are your thoughts on this?
Yes, it has made world news that Pope Benedict XVI suspects that demon posession is dramatically on the rise, due to teenage interest in Satanism, witchcraft, atheism and the occult. He has made a call for more excorcists, and a stronger belief in a literal Devil, citing the weakening of this view among Christians as a leading contributor to this paranormal dilemna. Does any of this sound just a bit 17th century-esque to any of you others on Y!A???

I don't have any idea what can be causing this--it started suddenly just last week. Also, none of my slim-line phones (the kind that do not require a power source--you just plug 'em into the phone jack) will work at all when plugged into any jack in the house. I've never had any trouble before--do any of you know how I can tell if the problem is on my inside phone line, or my outside phone line?
