  • what is PCI standard and a PCI bridge?

    I just turned on my computer and suddenly a message for Found New Hardware appeared. It said PCI to PCI bridge. Then the message changed to PCI standard to a PCI bridge.

    This is not a new computer, and I didn't installed anything new in it in the last year. I know that kind of messages appear always I connect a new device, like a webcam, a printer, or even when I connect my digital cam to download pictures, but never heard about PCI and why this message at this time??

  • Vivaldi's Stabat Mater in Kurosawa's movie Rhapsody in August?

    If you have watched Akira Kurosawa's movie Rhapsody in August, you have to remember that at the ending credits Vivaldi's Stabat Mater is played. Who is the singer? I think is a contratenor, but I'm not very sure. It can be a contralto. I want to know who the singer is, and what other Vivaldi's works he (or she) has recorded.

  • Gender of city's name?

    I was in the JFK airport and just noticed a banner with this:

    New York welcomes HER sister cities...(a list of other cities followed).

    Is New York a SHE? or that HER is used only because of that phrase "sister cities"?

    My mother language is Spanish, and I just improving my English skills. In Spanish I dont find any problem, because "ciudad" is a femenine word, but English words are different. I thought city was neutral (it have no sex).

    If city is feminine, are there other similar words?

    can you give some examples?

  • Does Power outages affect cable phone service?

    I want to switch to cable phone (indeed, that Triple play service offered by companies as Optimum or Time Warner). When power fails, you dont´expect to have Cable TV or internet, but phone service is different. You really need it all the time. Some people told me outages affect cable phone service. I´m very concerned because some neighborhoods in my city have had blackouts recently.

    Alguno de ustedes ha tenido alguna informacion sobre un virus o ha experimentado problemas con la red Sonico? Hace poco (en dias diferentes) recibi dos correos enviados por contactos conocidos mios, con postales de Sonico, pero al tratar de abrirlos, mi antivirus bloqueo la pagina señalando la presencia de un troyano. Lo mismo ahora que he tratado de entrar al grupo de amigos de Sonico.

  • Ne me quitte pas, Connaissez-vous si Edith Piaf a chante cette belle chanson?

    J'ai recherché la discographie de Piaf et n'ai trouvé rien. Quelques amis m'on dit que oui. En plus, ils mon fait ecouter une version de "Ne me quitte pas" qu'ils dissent, est par Edit Piaf. Mais, autres personnes m'on dit que cette-la est Mayza Matarazzo (une chanteuse bresilienne) et non Piaf. Si Piaf a chanté cette chanson, quelle est le nom de l'album?
