What is a safe port range for most browsers?
What is a range of 20+ consecutive ports that should be safe to use?
I have a few network devices that I would like to connect inside and outside of my network; sometimes with a browser. I thought I was being smart by giving the devices the following address and port numbers:
10.83.29.101:101
10.83.29.102:102
10.83.29.103:103
10.83.29.104:104
etc
but it turns out that Firefox, Chrome and probably others block some ports.

1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoHow do I trick windows XP Home into thinking it is Pro?
I want to install a program and it has to be windows XP Pro. Is there somewhere in the registry or a system file that says Home and I can just change it to Pro or change a bit or hex number just so I can install this program? I know the program may or may not work but I figured I would try it anyways.

4 AnswersVolkswagen1 decade agoI'm building a new computer, what OS should I get?
I'm building a computer with an Intel quad 64 bit Q9500 and 8GB of mem and I'm trying to figure out what OS should I get? VISTA 64bit? XP 64bit? or just Linux 64bit till Windows 7 comes out?
VISTA 32bit suxs for as much as I have tried, I have not tried VISTA 64bit. I have heard depending on when you get VISTA you may get Windows 7 for free, is that true?
Does XP-64 work with a lot of apps? and for every day stuff?
or should I get Linux for now and wait till Win7 comes out?
or XP-32 bit (I have a copy) for now and only run on 3GB of mem and do win7 when it comes out
I have Win7 beta to try but that's not a permanent solution or safe for my data lol.
What would you do?

What chip sets work on the Intel Q9000 series?
I currently trying to purchases parts for my 2nd computer build (7th computer) and I'm not sure what chip sets work with the Q9550.
Also do you have any suggestions on what mother boards would work well with this processor.
- I will probably end up overclocking a lil (I hope I get the E0 stepping)
- CAD, video editing/encoding, multitasking, a lil gaming
- I'm thinking about getting 8GB of DDR2 + 1066 (cheap these days) or do you think I should get DDR3
2 AnswersOther - Hardware1 decade agoWhat is a good program-web site to help me pick paint colors by seeing what it would look like on my house?
I want to find a program or website where I can see how paint colors would look on a picture of my house or a house very similar.
Also if you have any ideas for exterior paint colors for a house with a white roof thats in central Florida.
The main problem I have is is that my house has a white PVC type roof (the roof has many PVC blankets that are fused together so its like one big custom shingle). So I'm having a hard time picking colors. I'm worried what the colors will look like with my white roof. I see many neat houses with green and brown roofs and paint colors that work really well but I know that wont work with my roof, so I'm trying to get some ideas. I see some websites with a color picking program but they are mainly for inside or have dark roofs.
thanks in advance
3 AnswersDecorating & Remodeling1 decade agoWhat CPU should I buy? dual or quad core?
and please don't say quad because it has more cores or dual because it has a faster GHz speed.
I'm planing on buying a motherboard based on the CPU. Its been 3 years since I last did a build so I'm learning the new tech advances.
I have been looking at tom's hardware and in most tests the Intel E8600 3.33GHz and E8500 3.16GHz dual cores do better in most cases then the Q6700 2.66GHz and Q6600 2.4GHz quad.
I'm guessing right now dual is the best and quad will be better in the future, but when will that be? I'm into a little bit of gaming and mostly CAD, programing, video editing, sound editing and DVD-7 to DVD-5 converting.
Thanks

3 AnswersTVs1 decade agoI want home automation and security?
I have an old brinks bhs-4000a system in my house and I was think of taking that out and put a system in where i can hook up all the door/window/PIRS/smokes/ etc. up and then hook up relays to lights, A/C, mag locks, dorr latches and other devices to turn on and off. I would also like to get a mic and speaker to do 2 way and ptz cameras and record temperature or if there is flooding (inputs that are digital for sure but analog would be nice but analog is NOT a must). I want a system that can hook up to my computer or the network/internet so I can control devices via the web and get text messages (or emails about troubles and alarms) and have many zones like 40 to 100.
What would be the best way to do this? What brands and products would work best? Cheaper the better but I do under stand that I may have to pay $$$ to get what I want. I'm an experienced electrician and just started in the electronics systems industry. I can program about anything (may take me some time but I'm a fast learner and can figure out about anything (with some help of people I know))
Thanks in advance.
2 AnswersDo It Yourself (DIY)1 decade agoWhy mutations in animals but rare in humans?
In the news every once in a while on the news there is animals with 2 heads or extra feet (like the recent duck) or frogs with arms growing out of their back. But not with humans. I know joined twins happen where the egg does not split when two sperm get in but thats not a true mutation (I'm not saying joined twins are mutants) I know there is an actor or some one famous with 3 nipples or something but i have never heard of a human with 2 heads or 4 legs. I know that there are many many more animals then humans so the odds of it happening with animals is a greater chance then humans but is there another reason? And do the mutation parts move with with brain activity, like a duck with 4 legs really be able to walk with all 4, i know the news link said "...he is running about with those extra legs acting like stabilizers" but can he control them?

6 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agowitch outdoor antenna should I buy for some free HDTV?
I have tried 3 different indoor antennas and they work great and I get many channels in HD and analog, but there some channels that I get almost fine quality in analog only and cant get it in HD. So what I'm asking is what outdoor antenna should I get, I don't care if its big or small or wall mounted or goes on a mast, maybe an antenna that goes in the attic would work
Right now I'm using an antenna that goes on top of my Plasma TV, it has like 30 or so db boost with 2 die-pole and one loop, I think its an RCA. I tried 2 other ones before, one with more boost but the antenna I'm using now is still the best I have tried, we have some tall trees in the area but I think an antenna on the roof would clear them.
I know wal-mart has some but I don't know if they work well or not, please help thanks.
