Chat site hacking: empty threats?
So I was on a chat earlier, some person said they could ban my IP address and "ping" my IP in just two minutes, so are they full of crap or what? Don't you need permission from site owners or a fedral warrant to do it legally?
I don't believe this person/troll one bit.
4 AnswersSecurity9 years agoAre the HDMI connnections on my TV damaged?
So: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvaCA...
Turns out my HDTV works after a lightning storm struck a power pole containing my cable and internet service.
I have a cable box that connects to my TV with a HDMI cable, I tried turning it on along with my TV and it doesn't show up when I look for video sources with my TV settings, I tried my xbox's HDMI connection (I don't use HDMI with my xbox) and it shows up on the source list but doesn't display on my TV.
Could it be the cable itself or the HDMI ports on my TV?
1 AnswerTVs9 years agoCan a rifle be registered as a handgun?
Before you judge this question, look up "Ewbank AK 47 pistol", it looks like a krinkov with a greatly shortened barrel, but that's not what I'm looking for.
I have a AK-47, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AicOR... basically I want to get the rifle customized (it is technically legal besides the obvious) to keep the barrel length with out doing too much work or replacing anything and replace the flash suppressor with a new one.
I live in Arizona, so any help would be appreciated.
8 AnswersHunting9 years agoGunsmithing: barrel lengths and legal issues?
I bought a rifle from a gun show dirt cheap, the barrel was damaged because the previous owner installed a flash suppressor by welding it on the barrel and then tried to remove it with a router tool. The barrel has a breach about 3/4" from the gas port and with out the flash suppressor the barrel length is under 16".
Is it possible to have the barrel fixed with out having to replace it?
Can I still own the assault rifle that has a barrel length less than 16"?
5 AnswersHunting9 years agoWhat do you think about Battlefield 4?
The beta is coming out with the pre-order of MOH: Warfighter, Armored kill comes out in September, Aftermath in January, and End Game in May of next year, BF4 is set to come out in Fall of 2013. So it might come out in November like most big name titles.
Personally I think its too soon and just a shot in the dark when it comes to themes and plots for a title, you can only kill so many Russians, like Black Ops 2, they're taking a gamble with robots in the game now so hopefully BF4 won't go down this road ...

1 AnswerComputer Networking9 years agoWhy cant i connect to the internet, please help?
I recently got internet from sudden link, they provided me with a modem, I just can't get onto the internet for some reason. The power, receive, send and online lights are fully lit except for the pc/activity which keeps blinking when I plug it into my computer or xbox. I called sudden link to register my modem and gave them my HFC MAC ID #, the tech told me to wait 15 minutes and try again, it didn't work. I have a split coaxial connection also connecting to my TV for cable. When I install the software to my computer, the system tells me there is little to no connection and doesn't connect.

1 AnswerMovies9 years agoWhats your experience with comcast internet and/or cable (bundle)?
I'm getting an internet connection on my own for the first time, I'm probably going to go with comcast since they're advertising in my area with a 4G connection (I'm not sure if its a wireless only deal), I might also bundle with their cable.
I know they're a bit pricey but all companies seem to be, if not more.
