Why should one person be the arbitrator or good taste?

Help me find offensive songs to help point out how ridiculous it is to let a handful of old people decide the music stations for our entire factory.

Stuck in Cisco Hell

I have a recently installed (upgraded) wireless network composed of 11 Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Points controlled by a Cisco 4400 WLC. The access points are running on the slim firmware, and are being controlled by the WLC. We are using the WLC to broadcast several different SSIDs from the access points, spanned across several different V-Lans We are having massive intermittent connectivity problems.

Help me replace my S3IS with something a little beefier

It's time to upgrade my Canon Powershot s3is. I have a specific budget and feature set, and I am looking for some opinions as to where I should go from here.

Quack quack quack.

Have any of you had any experience with biorhythm readings, or any other such quackery where you were hooked up to a "computer" and completely diagnosed?

Hope me obi wan! Teh servers is crashed!

Exchange 2000 has a limit of 16 gigs. When you hit that limit, there is a registry entry to increase it to 17 gigs on a temp basis so you can clear out email and do an offline defrag. Well. About a hour after increasing the limit, we hit 17 gigs and now our exchange store is not compressing.

Pimp my feeds

I keep up with alot of rss feeds. I read them at work on my breaks, and then at home before bed and in the morning before work. I would like a reader that will synchronize between the two locations so that I know where I left off at work, or at home. I allways forget my USB memory stick, so having a portable app doesn't work well for me. I haven't found a web based RSS reader that was fast enough, and designed the way I like it, I like to have my feeds grouped into folders, and read them one at a time by clicking on the item and reading the article.

I'm guessing the chances are pretty slim, but I...

I'm guessing the chances are pretty slim, but I would like to see about getting one of my questions on ask. un-deleted.
I posted This question last night, and woke up this morning to see it was deleted. For this reason "doesn't sound like any problem to be solved, rather some idle 'what if' curiosity"
I've never had one deleted, and I feel it does not violate any of the things mentioned in the FAQ. To quote the FAQ:
Put another way "...if your motivation for asking the question is 'I would like to participate in a discussion about X,' then you shouldn't be doing it in AskMe. If your motivation is 'I would like others to explain X to me,' then you're probably OK."

I was simply interested in how the physics of it worked, and what would happen. I only posted once in my own thread, and that was to answer a question about thresholds.

Barcode my life!

Some time ago I saw a program for the Mac that you could scan barcodes of various things and it would maintain your collection of them. I can't seem to find my bookmark for that and my googling is failing me. I would actually like to know if there was a windows version of it out yet, or a similar product for windows.

First time runner.

After 5 years of her refusing, I have finally convinced my wife to try playing a Pen and Paper RPG. But. She claims she has no imagination. Is this going to be a horrible experience, or is there hope? Have you ever gamed with someone who was willing to learn, but had to overcome the "getting into it" factor?

Is one of my users trying to h4x0r

I need to know the process to set up a "evil twin" ad hoc network. I think one of my users here may be trying to play around where they should not, and I need to know how to check if they are trying to set up a "evil twin" called "free wifi access"

Now that I have torn my hair out. Whats next access?

Yet another Access Query Question. Similar to my other question, but even more frustrating. I need to craft a query that will tally values across many fields and entries.

Access Query headaches!

I have a access query that is making me tear my hair out. My database has 40 fields that have three possible values (OK, NG, NA). I need to list only the entries that have NG in any one of those 40 fields.

How does "not equal" translate into Access Language

In Access (and Excel as well I would imagine) what is the symbol for "Not Equals"? I would imagine since = is equals there must be a symbol for everything excluding said parameter

Digital Signature?!

Digital "Signature" in an excel spreadsheet, is it easy and possible? My company wants to reduce our paper waste and do digital copies of some of our internal forms. But we need an easy way to digitally sign the documents throughout the various stages of approval.

ARrrgh! Darn you outlook! Obey my bidding!

I just started a new position in my company as the IT Support guy. One of the projects we are working on, is getting away from people submitting paper tech requests, and to using a outlook template that everyone can just pop open to email us a standard request. We have the form working the way we want. It automatically emails my boss and I with the information they fill out, but when I fill out what I did to fix it, and try to forward it or reply to it so my boss has a record of me completing the task, it completely borks the formatting.

Please help me fill my pencil needs!

Where in the world can I find a company that will custom print some pencils for me? I need to get pencils printed with something different on each of the faces. Ideally I would provide a image (either separate for each side, or one with each side detailed out) that would be aligned and printed on the pencil.

Hipster PDA foldable thingy

Hipster PDA question A few months back I saw a website that had a applet that let you drag and drop various pages into a templet and then print out on a normal sheet of paper a set of six pages that would fold book style. I've been searching all day and can't seem to find it, any idea where this website resides?

Twangy Olde timey westerny music

Having recently fallen in love with Firefly (the tv show) and playing Uru for a short bit I am quite interested in the musical styling of these two things. They both have the twangy floaty guitar.. But they definitely are not country and western.. What is this style of music called, and who should I listen to for more?

Peanut buttery Raisin goodness?

I am looking to identify a recipe from my younger days. I vaguely remember some kind of snacky treat being served that had peanut butter and raisins. The peanut butter was raw and the entire thing was uncooked, Definatly not a cookie or a bar. I remember the texture being slightly gritty like it had raw brown sugar in it or was maybe rolled in it. Possibly in a ball shape. I've been searching google like crazy and I cannot find anything that sounds like what I remember.
