Canon Fodder

i have a netgear wired/wireless gateway provided by at&t. when i was playing Halo on xbl, it said i should open my NAT. how do i do this, and what (if any) are the risks of having open NAT?

my cap is 250GB/month, and i was just wondering if extensive online gaming would make me hit my cap. like say.. 8hrs a day? maybe as little as 4 hours a day.

I have a halo blog on Blogger.com. I wanted to join the blackout against SOPA tomorrow. Is there any way I can take my blog down temporarily, and then put it back up without losing information?

my Desktop PC can suppport WiFi, and i have my Gateway right behind the computer. which has a faster connection, the WiFi, or using the Ethernet cable? i suspect Ethernet. or is there a difference at all?

this is mainly for people in the military:

in terms of battle tactics, communication, how the games look, and just what a real marine/navy would do in those situations, how accurate are they? and which is the most accurate?

for those who havent seen or played any of the games:

NOTE: pls watch all videos. some are different than the other.

ok so my xbox isnt connected to the internet. but i have an xbox LIVE account on the computer for Waypoint and forums and stuff. sometime in the future, i plan on connecting to the internet. once i do, will the two accounts merge?

also, 343i is giving away a whole bunch of codes and stuff, and if i redeem them on my copmuter's XBL account, once i connect to the internet, will i get the benefits on my Xbox's gamer profile?

ok you know how youtube's supposed to have a white background? sometimes when i go, its grey! is this like, a rip-off youtube? it still says youtube.com on the address bar, but whats the deal? why is it gray?

And they just let it go to Community Vote?

ok so i bought Forza 4, and the main reasons are:

Jeremy Clarkson

Lexus LFA

Better graphics/physics, etc

Top Gear Test Track

Jeremy Clarkson

but when i go in Autovista, its just that same boring british guy from Forza 3!!!!! is there some settings or something i have to change? or is he only on some cars? and where is the Halo Warthog in Autovista?

To multiply a number by 100 gives the same result as dividing it by ____?

I'm going to be buying some items on amazon, and i dont have a credit card or anything, so i was just going to buy a gift card for the amount i need. do i have to buy an exact amount, like $25, $50, $100?

or can i do my own amount? even if its like 59.23, or 101.55 or something?

Ok, I want to connect my Xbox 360 to my computer so I can get internet. I already know it's possible, so that's cleared up.

I heard that an ethernet cable over a certain length loses speed. I forgot what the length was. 50? 100ft?

Would a crossover cable be best? Or just a normal, or patch?

What category would be best? Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6?

Any other information I should know before doing this?

I downloaded the Halo Reach and Halo Reach Art Inspiration themes from microsoft's website, but I want to combine them. Is there any way I can ADD pictures from another theme or location on my computer to a theme?

Just wondering. I havent heard of it, but I though I'd give it a try. Not the Anniversary, the original one.

ok i wanna go to the Halo CEA launch party at the Microsoft Store at Westgate- Valley Fair in Santa Clara, CA on Nov 14th. is this free??? PLEASE HELP
