i have a PC running windows XP that gets the internet through wifi, and a mac running os x 10.2 with no internet access. i connected the PC and the mac with an ethernet cable. i set up a network bridge between my wifi card and my ethernet on the PC, but i'm not sure if that would help. i want the mac to be able to access the internet through the ethernet cable through the PC. how can i do this?

on a 4-conductor 2.5mm TRS male jack, used in a phone headset, which conductors lead to which parts? the plug i'm curious about looks like this: http://www.infinitecables.com/images/connector_sm/...

i have my itunes library encoded with AAC files at 48kbps. is there an easy way to download every song (from limewire) again at 128kbps without resetting the play count or playlists? i have around 900 songs, and i really don't feel like downloading them all again manually. is there any automated way to do this?

how hot is an arc from a microwave oven transformer ballasted at around 600 watts? the output is about 2000 volts at 300ma.

on my computer, i have windows xp home with all the updates, and the latest versions of itunes and firefox. when i load a page in firefox, it makes itunes skip really bad. i have 768MB of RAM, a 2ghz processor, and i don't have very many other programs running, just itunes, firefox, and AIM. the only way i can get itunes to stop skipping is by setting it to a high priority in the task manager. why does this happen?

if i take a small transformer meant to be used at 120v:9v 60hz, and discharge a 360v 100uf capacitor (or similar) into the 9v winding, will i get a high voltage pulse on the 120v winding?

i have PCLinuxOS, and i want an instant messenger that supports AIM. i tried Kopete and Pidgin, but neither of them have the "(name) is typing..." notification. i need one that does have this notification. which messenger has this feature?

i made a gun that uses two xenon tubes and some high-voltage capacitors to create a bright temporarily blinding flash of light. would it be considered a weapon? or illegal to use on people? the light is bright enough to temporarily blind a person.

i have a capacitor bank that can charge to 360 volts and 1400 uF. if i touch one of the terminals, i don't get shocked. i can touch either the negative or the positive without getting shocked. why don't i get shocked if i only touch one terminal?

how could i travel through time?

how could i speed up or slow down time?

has anyone had any experiences with time travel or changing the speed of time?

is there such a thing where two people have the same dream at the same time? as in, they see each other in the dream as it's happening.

has anyone heard of anything like that?

i just got a faraday flashlight for christmas. i shook it for about 2 minutes, and left it sit here turned on. it's been on for nearly 12 hours strait now. it's still bright. how is this possible? i know it uses a supercapacitor, but how has it lasted this long?

what did you get for the top person(s) on your holiday list?

why are people racist, sexist, segregated, and separated? why can't we accept that we are equal?

when dreaming, what determines what point-of-view the dream is seen from? i always see mine in 1st-person, and my one friend always sees his through 3rd person.

what determines what point-of-view is seen?

a lot of the mail i send out never arrives where it needs to be. this is happening with several different recipients, all using different email clients. the people have checked all throughout their inboxes and "spam" folder. i am 100% sure i put the right adresses.

the problem seems to be avoidable if i leave the subject line blank.

i am very computer literate (i'm a programmer), so it's not just something i'm doing.

i am using yahoo classic mail, free service.

why is this happening?

about how many amps does a large shopping mall use?

is there a movie that is a more strict interpretation of "Alice In Wonderland and Through the Looking-glass" other than Disney's nonsense? Disney's story is good for little kids, but it lost the whole point and the fun of Lewis Carroll's story.

Is there a movie that sticks to the story and keeps the point of it?

I got a cheap 1$ from Wal-Mart that is better at the story, but it only shows the first half of the story, and it's not well-made.

if a capacitor was charged to 345v and has 1.4 farads, how many amps can be drawn at peak?

i'm not sure if that makes sense, but i want to know how many amps i can draw at most, when it first starts to discharge.

at 345 volts dc, how much current can a standard size paper clip have running through it?
