I have an old Windows 98 era computer that I would like to hook up to my home network/internet. Only problem is, it only has a modem, no ethernet. I have another computer that has ethernet and a modem. Is there any way, using a telephone cable, that I could connect the old computer to the network via the other computer?
I have two machines with RJ11 ports and I had a RJ11 Modular Telephone Cable lying around.I wondered if it was possible to create a network between the two machines with those RJ11 Modular Telephone Cable (back to back via RJ11 ports) much like a network we create between two computers with a single RJ45 Modular connector cable.  Is this setup possible at all ? If it is , what will be the maximum transfer speed i can achieve between these two computers ?
Enumerate behaves differently with beamer 3.42 The following is produced by beamer version 3.41 with enumerate:  \documentclass{beamer} \mode&lt;presentation&gt;     {\usetheme{Rochester}} \begin{document} \begin{frame}   \begin{enumerate}[(a)]     \item Foo     \item Bar   \end{enumerate}   \begin{enumerate}[1]     \item Foo     \item Bar   \end{enumerate} \end{frame} \end{document}     And with beamer version 3.42 the following:    The latter output is so, well, ugly, that it's probably a bug. While waiting for a bug fix (?), how can I temporarily fix this so that I get the output produced by beamer 3.41? Should reputation points expire? While looking at the SO question  It occurred to me that this was an extremely simple question with an extremely simple answer.  And yet, it has garnered the OP thousands in upvote points, simply because he was the first one to ask this question in the early days of SO.  There are many examples of these simple questions and I believe they don't accurately model a user's participation in the SO community.  People shouldn't be getting thousands or even tens of thousands of points from a question just because they were lucky enough to get it in the system a while ago.  Another related issue is that the non-expiring point system rewards users for seniority.  Simply put, the longer you're around SO, the higher your score will be.  While there's some merit to this, it seems to have a disproportionate effect.  So what can we do to limit these effects?  I'm just brainstorming but here are a couple ideas:   Automatically close voting on questions after a certain time period.  Good questions will still be rewarded, but they won't give disproportionately large rewards simply because they are really old questions. Expire users' points after a certain time period.  If you expire users' points after, say 3 months, then this will force them to stay active and their points will be more a reflection of "How much have you participated lately"?  It forces old users to stay active rather than resting on their laurels, and allows junior members a chance to catch up to senior members of the community by putting in a lot of effort.  Currently, there is no chance at all for junior members to ever catch up with senior members and their only 'sin' is that they didn't register 5 years ago. Cut part from video file from start position to end position with FFmpeg I have a video file of 30 minutes, but I want to extract a video from 00:09:23 to 00:25:33.   I can define the startposition with -ss, but I couldn't find one for the end position. Any help please? I don't have complex analysis at my beck and call, and I only have a low level of knowledge in topology, but I need to prove that this metric space (for any real $r$ and $R$ with $r &lt; R$)$$ X = \{ (x, y) \in \mathbb{R}^2 \ | \ r \leq x^2 + y^2 \leq R \}$$  with the Manhattan metric $d((x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)) = |x_1-x_2| + |y_1-y_2|$ is not simply connected.  I've already prooven that it's path connected, and now I need to show there are some points $P$ and $Q$ with two paths between them such that one cannot be continuously 'morphed' into the other.  $ \ $  What I have so far is as follows:  I take $P = (0, r)$ and $Q = (0, -r)$, with $f_0$ being a path from $P$ to $Q$ going clockwise around the circle radius $r$ and $f_1$ being much the same but going counterclockwise.  Now I assume there is a function $g : [0, 1]^2 \to X$ such that:   $g(s, 0) = f_0 (s)$ $g(s, 1) = f_1 (s)$ $g(0, t) = P$ $g(1, t) = Q$   To get the final result, I need to show that this function cannot be continuous, but for the life of me I cannot.  For some context, these are the topics which have been visited during the course, roughly in order of recentness.   Multiple connectedness Simple connectedness Pathwise connectedness Interior points Boundary points Open sets Compactness Complete metric spaces Bounded metric spaces Totally bounded metric spaces Closed sets Closure of a metric space Limit points Cauchy sequences Convergence Continuity Metric space quivalence Metric equivalence   Edit: I might have an argument that works, though it's far from rigourous. We can shrink $R$ to be as close to $r$ as we want, so we can essentially constrain the annulus down to a circle and thus force any path from the left side of the circle to the right side to go through $P$ or $Q$.  So holding $s \in (0, 1)$ constant and varying $t$ must produce a path through $P$ or $Q$ for any $s$. If for some $s$ it passes through $P$ and for some other $s$ it passes through $Q$, then there must be $s_0$ such that $\forall \epsilon &gt;0  \ \exists \delta \leq \epsilon$ st. $s_0$ produces a path through $P$ and $s_0 + \delta$ produces a path through $Q$.  Now we can consider the path $g(s, \frac{1}{2})$, and note that it must have a discontinuity at $s_0$.  Now consider the case where all $s$ produce paths through only one of $P$ or $Q$. WOLOG: $P$. Now, at $t = \frac{1}{2}$, $s$ arbitrarily close to $1$ are mapped away from $Q$, but $1$ is always mapped to $Q$ by definition, so $g(s, \frac{1}{2})$ has a discontinuity at $s=1$. Therefore $g(s, t)$ is not continuous.  This argument is definitely iffy to me, if no one has their own argument (using sufficiently low level concepts), then criticism on the above would be appreciated. I have an Ubuntu 14.04 server that has no external monitor connected.  I use NoMachine to remote control the machine.  When I do so, the Unity/Gnome interface doesn't see any monitors connected, so I can only use 800x600 when connecting with NoMachine.  If I plug in a monitor, I can set the resolution to whatever size the NoMachine window is on the remote computer.  Is there a way to create a "fake" monitor device on Ubuntu so I can set a desktop resolution in Unity/Gnome? Why should two sub-atomic (or elementary particle) - say electrons need to have identical static properties - identical mass, identical charge? Why can't they differ between each other by a very slight degree? Is there a theory which proves that?  Imagine an alien of size of order of Milky-way galaxy examining our solar system with a probe of size of 10's of solar system dimension and concludes that all planets are identical. OS X computer name not matching what shows on terminal My computer name in System Preferences &gt; Sharing is set to &quot;archos&quot;, but is showing as &quot;iphone&quot; on Terminal. It just started doing this after I loaded Xcode for doing iPhone development: Last login: Mon Nov  7 14:46:55 on ttys001 iphone:~ travis$   Any ideas what could be causing this? Shouldn't the Terms of Service use Stack Overflow, Inc.? The  still uses the term Stack Exchange, Inc. However, I believe that the name is now Stack Overflow, Inc. , so I believe that should be changed to that. It is weird to have the wrong name in a legal document.   Yes, I actually read the Terms of Service. You should also do that. Resize images in PHP without using third-party libraries? Number of publications needed to get into a computer science PhD program? I've looked at the resumes of the type of candidates that get into computer science PhD programs at the top few universities (e.g. Stanford, MIT etc.) and a lot of them seem to have multiple publications (2-4) done during their undergraduate years. Is this representative of the entire pool? Or is this just a self-selected group that puts their resumes online.  I currently have one first-author workshop paper (5 pages), and I wonder how this might affect my chances at entry into these top universities. Three-columns text with figures of 2\columnwidth Install MySQLdb (for python) as non-compressed egg I know that matrix multiplication in general is not commutative. So, in general:  $A, B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}: A \cdot B \neq B \cdot A$  But for some matrices, this equations holds, e.g. A = Identity or A = Null-matrix $\forall B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$.  I think I remember that a group of special matrices (was it $O(n)$, the ?) exist, for which matrix multiplication is commutative.  For which matrices $A, B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ is $A\cdot B = B \cdot A$? How close would you have to be to the merger of two black holes, for the effects of gravitational waves to be detected without instruments? Assume two black holes in the most common size range, spiraling into each other until they merge. The event releases significant amounts of energy via gravitational waves, which warp the space-time.  If the distortion is powerful enough, it would get noticed in daily life, or perhaps even detected by the proprioceptors in the human body.  How close, as an order of magnitude estimate, would you have to be to the merger to perceive it like that, without any instrument? Since reading the answers to my question about  I've been good about giving my meat time to defrost in the refrigerator. However, my plans for tonight have changed and I'd like to defrost some ground beef that is completely frozen for dinner this evening. What are my options to do so quickly and safely? If I fall off a cliff - say, 1000 feet - can I wait (readied action?) until I am near enough to the ground (my understanding is you fall 500 ft/round) then  safely to the ground? Or, does the momentum from the fall carry over through the teleport and I still splatter across the rocks? Make Blender usable on high resolution screen No "Login using Google" option in Android app How do I reset a sequence in Oracle? Vertically centered horizontal rule filling the rest of a line? I'd like to have a horizontal line extending from the end of the text on a line to the right margin. So far I've found \hrulefill and \leaders\hrule\hfill, but these draw a line that's flush with the baseline of my text — how can I get it to be vertically centered?
