  • How to find WPA password?

    I accidentally clicked the little wifi symbol at the top of my toolbar for wifi and accidentally shut it off for a moment.

It found my home one but to join it again it says I need my WPA password, how do I found this?

    And the router is a model WPN824N Netgear wireless router.

  • How do I view a page on a site blocked to certain members?

    Hey, I'm on this one site and there is a page I want to get to view on a gaming site, and I am a member, but when I click a link to it it tells me I am not authorized to view the page.

    Is there a way to get past this?

    And I've already tried BeTheBot, but it didn't work.

  • Convince my parents into buying me a laptop for Christmas?

    How do I convince my parents into buying me a laptop for Christmas?

    Ireally want one because of several reasons,

    -It won't be fixed to the family room, so I can Skype talk, play games, etc and use it for study purposes without hearing my dad's tv.

    -I can use it for gaming stuff

    -its so much more convenient, and I won't have to argue with my brother for the computer

    But of coarse, my parents are incredibly misinformed and think the cheapest laptops are 600$ and we can't afford. And then they give what I call the Dad answer, 'because I said no'

  • Was the Vietnam war a genocide?

    I hear a lot about the US committing war crimes and using "inhumane" weapons in Vietnam, and purposely killing people with agent orange, and napalm, etc.

    But is this actually true? I always thought Agent Orange's side effects had been an accident. And that we never actually aimed to murder the civilians, except in that one massacre May Lai or something like that.

    And how many civilians in the North and South were killed?, because I know that the VC killed many civilians in the south.

  • I want to get ahead in math, but how?

    Right now I'm a Freshman in High School, In Algebra II accelerated and next year I believe I will be in Geo/Trig accelerated.

    But is there anyway that I could get ahead in my level of math? Like an outside thing I could do in the summer, because I don't think my school offers Math classes during summer.

    Or if this would not work, is there anyway (besides a tutor) I could just learn ahead so it's easier during the year?

  • P47 Thunderbolt or Bf109?

    I've been trying to find a good debate on this somewhere but just can't seem to find it.

    My question is which is the better overall aircraft, and which one would likely win in a dogfight.

    And please don't say it depends on the pilot, just pretend they are equal pilots.

  • Why do people claim the USA is a terrorist?

    I hear a lot of stuff on the internet, with people hating the USA and CIA and claiming they are terrorists. Especially because of the events in the Middle East. Saying the kill millions of innocent people, are there just for resources because of our corrupt govt., claim it's all staged by the CIA, and an unending list of things like this.

    Does anybody know where it is that these things stem from?

    I mean we were attacked by Al Qaeda in 9/11, and went into an insurgency war against them, and that's why theres military bases of ours in their country, and civilians are killed in accidents, it's not like we go shooting everyone with a veil, we'd just be killing everyone then.

    So where do these kinds of ridiculous accusations of the US being a terrorist come from?

    And if your going to say I'm just a propaganda brainwashed American, give me an actual official source of your information rather than just saying I'm wrong because I'm told propaganda, which seems to be the traditional thing to do.

  • I want my computer in my basement, but my parents won't let me...?

    I've been wanting to record my gameplay for xbox for a long time now, 2 years. And I can afford simple stuff like the Dazzle and EasyCap, but my computer is WAY to far away from my Xbox, there on different floors of my house.

    And apparently something impossible will go wrong if you use my mom's laptop, even though she NEVER uses it unless I'm at school, or it's really really late at night.

    So I thought, why not move the computer to the basement! It's just a Mac Mini, and we used to have a computer down there anyways so it could work.

    But my parents said no again. For reasons which don't exist, gotta love when you get those. And apparently we'll get water in the basement.

    Even though, we haven't gotten water in my basement in YEARS. We got this amazing sun pump and almost never lose power, and only get water if the back basement window drips, but she just told me it was fixed. So apparently somehow for the first time in years, without notice the basement will flood 3 ft and we'll loose the computer if it's down there, showing no regard for the xbox or countless other things we have in the basement as well as things we store down there.

    So does anybody have any idea of how to get them to change their minds on this? Because right now it seems there hell bent on not letting me without reason.

  • Need a way to record Xbox 360 gameplay...?

    I want really badly to record my gameplay on xbox and put it up on my youtube, but I have some problems.

    1. I don't have a lot of money, so those 200$+ HD PVRs are out of the question.

    2. My computer is on a different floor of my house, so clearly I can't have them near each other. And my parents will NEVER move this computer to the basement, even though they have their own laptops.

    3. I can't use their laptops even if I get an EasyCap because apparently something will happen, they just don't know what.

    So if there's any way around this without spending a couple hundred $, I'd be glad to accept any ideas.

    BTW Don't say recording with a Camcorder, because I don't have one and my camera is some Canon that's so old my Mac doesn't even think it's a camera! And it holds like 5 minutes.

  • Why are people who listen to pop and rap less intelligent than people who listen classic rock?

    I don't mean to stereotype but at least where I live the vast majority of pop and rap fans who like kesha, lil wayne, kanye west, kate perry, etc. etc. are far less intelligent than those who listen to Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, etc.

    No offense if you are smart if and you like those bands, it's probably most people around me are mindless f*cks.

  • what is with my friends?

    They are really pissing me off

    We became friends in about part way through seventh grade, and now were basically done with eigth. They always treat me like I'm second rate. Like because I haven't been in as long as them, I need special approve to act in a way one of them can. It's like I can never earn the respect as some of them for whatever undecided reason. One of them can act out, and they'll just say oh that's how he is just let it go. I do something slightly off key and half of them get on my *** about it for at least through lunch. Then one of em' can be such a pain in the *** acting like he knows everything, and that he's some genius and im an idiot, just because he's in 2 higher classes I tested into and chose not to so I didn't overload on work, and I've had a far ahead reading level since 2nd grade. It just bugs me so much. And my one friend always sides with him being smarter, because he always takes the easier more agreeable answer because it seems that way. And they're both incredibly opinionated and kiss each others asses. There's one who's more awkward than the rest that I used to get annoyed with, but I figured he just a little off sometimes and is more loyal than them and doesn't like keeping people out of things to keep feeling superior.

    So what do I do?

    And don't say get a new group because I drifted at first at school and everywhere else is a bunch of idiots and or 10000x more drama.

    Mr. know it all seems the key problem here, because it was better functional without him and him sucking up to everyone. But he's kind of embetted himself in one of 'key' members of the group's empathy, since he's way to ******' nice and sometimes doesn't get when it's time to toughen up and tell people off, not just sit back quiet afraid anybody might disapprove of him.

    rant over.

    any suggestions?

  • Roger Hornsby underrated?

    I never really hear Hornsby in the discussion of the greatest ever, it's always Mays, Ruth, Wagner, etc. Then with hitting it's Ruth, Williams, Cobb, etc. People don't really tend to remember Hornsby. Who along with Williams is the only man to win a Triple Crown 2 times, and he also batted .400 3 times and I believe has the record for highest BA after 1900. He was also pretty fast and at 2nd base a pretty good fielder. Would you consider him underrated?

  • Ted Williams or Joe DiMaggio?

    Who was the better player? No doubt in my mind that Ted was by far the better hitter. But who was the better player in your opinion? I have to go with Ted because Joe may have been great all around, but Ted wasn't a below average fielder, and in his youth ran the baseball pretty well, and IMO he is the greatest hitter ever and that can only be rivaled by Babe Ruth and Roger Hornsby.
