I love Jesus, enjoy skateboarding, music, photography... I like cordless phones and other vintage electronics/mechanics. Have a love/hate relationship with computers (those that work in the field know exactly what I mean). Overall, I'm a very interesting and unique person and enjoy leading and teaching others.

  • Inter-Tel telephone controller?

    I was given a large set of industrial/professional office telephones. One of them is an Inter-Tel INT 1400 with an EXP9300 handset. This is really the only one I have an interest in using because I want a cordless telephone with a longer range than the average household phone. In order to use this telephone at my house on my regular phone line, I know it needs some sort of a controller/modem/router thing that it plugs into, it won't work when plugged directly into my phone line. What is/are the model(s) of this device that are compatible with my telephone? Where can I purchase them used/refurbirshed, I don't want to spend a lot of money? If I were to have the proper controller box, would it work off of my regular landline phone line or would it need a different kind of connection?

  • What is your favorite operating system?

    What is your favorite operating system and why? I have worked with several versions of Mac OS from OS 9 to current, and from Windows 2000 to Windows 8. Out of all of them, my favorites would be Windows XP because it is so stable and can run well on older computers. The Windows 7 is good as well, however in my mind the only thing better about it is the Aero desktop theme, which I really like.

  • Recommendations for a good air compressor?

    I am looking to get an electric air compressor to use primarily with a blowgun for cleaning dust out of small appliances. I would like the compressor to be small enough to carry on stairs, quiet (desirable, but its not a deal breaker if its loud), have a good longevity (I run a computer repair business and clean out computers regularly), variable max PSI (again, not a deal-breaker but would really like to have, would prefer to be able to turn down the power on something like a computer, but have more power for something like a box fan motor), prefer it to fill up quickly and have a fast recovery time; but can do without that feature, and lastly I would like to be able to spray the air for at least 15-20 seconds before the compressor needs to start again to refill the tank (very important). I would like to keep it under 250 dollars including all the assecories, however I'm not going to be very sharp on the budget as this is something I will use regularly and I want it to be reliable and last.

    So far I have found this compressor (listed below) which I think would be good. Please tell me if the compressor would work well to uit my needs and the assecories I listed with it will do what I want, or if you have a better suggestion of another model to get. It does NOT need to be powerful enough to run any sort of air tools, I only intent to use it for blowing.

    Hose: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00006ANRY?cache=6d6...

    (I want a long hose so I can plug in the compressor inside my house then do the actual dusting outside. Does the hose length matter as far as compressor performance goes?)

    I would like to get a quick-disconnect attatchments for both ends of the hose, I'm not sure exactly what those are called, but if anyone has any recommendations on those or at least what they're called, that would be helpful as well.

  • How do you solve these exponential functions?

    Can someone explain how to solve these two examples:

    22) (2/3)^x-1 = (81/16)^x+1

    20) 3^-x = (1/27)^1-x

    I understood this just fine until they put fractions in and they didn't seem to relate to eachother properly, if that makes any sense.

  • How do you factor the following polynomials?

    How do you factor these polynomial expressions? I am using this to study for an exam, so please explain how the answer is found in multiple steps.

    36x^2 - 60x + 25 - y^2

    a^4 - 2a^3 - a^3b + 2a^2b

    Note: In the second problem, the exponents do not include the variable, they are written right after the term. The exponents are only the single constant number.

  • How to secure Windows XP?

    Microsoft's support of Windows XP is ending shortly, however I want to continue using Windows XP on my home computers. I have an anti-virus program BitDefender, and a malware scanner MalewareBytes. I also use Windows Firewall. Are there any additional programs to install or settings I could change on my computers to make it less vulnerable to security threats etc. once the support updates stop coming out? Would it be a good idea not to install the last few updates so that my computer would not be running the latest version of Windows trying to be hacked?
