Is there a difference between DSL and cable modem? sm
Posted By: TB on 2008-01-27
In Reply to:
I've been working at home for almost nine years and have been on dial up. We live out in the country and DSL/cable modem hasn't been available all this time. We aren't even on the DSL list. Found out yesterday that we are going to have cable run out here and we'll have fast speed internet via cable. Is that as good as DSL? I'm really excited about this! Just wondered cable is good and reliable fast speed internet. I think anything will be better than 45 Kbps.
Thanks!

But we have a cable modem sm
Can they still hack our phone line through a router even though our computer is connected to our cable outlet and not phone outlet?
Do you have your original modem software?
You may have to reinstall it for the computer to recognize the modem.
If you don't have separate modem software, you may have to reinstall Windows. Be sure you back up anything you don't want to lose. You shouldn't lose anything, but just in case....
Cell phone as a modem
I'm moving and won't have a home phone with DSL for a month so I'm about to buy a Blackberry Pearl so I can use it as a modem and tether it to my laptop for downloading sound files and then uploading my work. I've about gone insane in the details so I'm looking for anyone who has done this and can confirm for me that it works.
My cell phone provider has told me this will work.
Need cable
You need to plug your memory card or camera via USB cable into your printer and your printer has to have the capability of printing pictures and directly from the camera. There has to be a connection to make it print. Just like hooking your computer into the printer, you need to your camera via the port.
Cable TV installer
I was wondering if anyone out there has tried this job or know anybody who has? My husband I want to work together and felt this might be a possibility. Any good or bad experiences to report? Need a change from MT. Thanks to anyone who responds.
cable ties?

Drop your cable TV
Ditch your cable or dish or whatever. Get yourself an antenna for on your roof, get your coupon for your converter box for the switch over to digital and voila. Free TV.
I'm sure they will have their own cable show

To be honest, I think I had cable when my little ones were

I thought my cable went out. Horrible.

This is Larry the Cable Guy's take on being pollitically correct. It is hilarious.

Don't know if you can click as a link or need to paste.
dsl is through phone line. cable..sm
in my opinion, is better and faster, and generally uses fiber optic lines. You can still have "outages" though, but not often. I much prefer cable. more bandwidth. have fun!
Cable tv versus dish
Can anybody give me their experiences with cable televison or dish, specifically Dish Network or DirectTV?
I am considering getting one of these but don't know which one to go with. Thank you!
If you have cable watch big love sm
Should have been a comedy. Take it like it is, sickening!
millions called their cable/tv companies...
Many movies on cable have scenes deleted SM
for one reason or another. I don't like it either.
Look, I'm liberal, so I agree with PC of deleting scene, but also agree with your point about censorship. That movie was funny, as, ahem, heck.
I've never had cable, never seen the reason to pay to watch TV nm

Perhaps an entire cable channel devoted to multiples?

Will impending writers' strike affect cable channels?

Buy a bike, grow a garden, get rid of cable, take a second part time job

Here's how I see the difference
Happiness is derived from a sense of accomplishment or achievement...it usually involves a skill or talent. It is something you usually work toward. Very much akin to enjoyment.
Pleasure requires no skill or talent. It is usually physical.
What's the difference?
You say, "That's the difference." Can you clarify?
You are correct, I didn't phrase a query. I told them what I wanted them to do, and I told them in a calm and respectful manner. I didn't lecture them about what they were doing, I just told them that I would like for them to leave. In our township, school property is not open to the public. It can only be used by permit after school hours, and I am the permit holder. I am within my rights to ask others to leave the property during the times when I'm designated the responsible party for the property.
So I didn't ask the teenagers to leave. Had I asked, "Will you please leave," the answer could be yes or no. That was not my goal. Therefore, saying "I'd like for you to move off the property," clearly states what I want done.
Still, I don't understand what you mean by "difference" in your post. The difference between what and what exactly? Are you saying that I should have asked them a question and then abided by whatever answer they gave me? And that since I didn't offer the opportunity to decline a request, they were within their rights to be disrespectful and shout obscenities?
difference -- sm
The lady who posted on MySpace also, if I remember right, had sent personal emails to this young girl. There was a deliberate attempt to hurt this child and progressed over time. The woman is not being punished for her posting on MySpace, she is being punished for her deliberate attempt to deceive and hurt someone else. Nothing would have happened to her, I believe, if the child had not taken her own life. Once a crime happens or is committed, her intent changed from bullying to involvement in a crime.
the person who wrote her opinion about another person has committed no crime against that teacher whatsoever. If a student can be suspended for calling a teacher a name, then perhaps EVERYone who calls someone else a name, should be punished in some way, shape, or form, but the last I knew, our country was still a free country and we were able to express our opinions about another if we chose to, even negatively.
What is the difference in that and them

age difference
Actually, I married a man 17 1/2 years older than I am. Outside of his kids (his oldest is 5 years younger than myself), things have worked out quite well for the last 32 years. He raised my kids and they love him and treat him better than his own kids. Depends upon what you are looking for in a relationship.
Difference here in what you and I say
You said busted your butt to pay for. I did not have to do that, never paid a house payment in my new home, husband does that for me.
well I think the difference is
mentally challenged is a PC word to describe anyone with a mental illness - (does it also mean, or instead mean, someone with mental retardation?)
Autistic is specifically someone with one of the autistic spectrum disorders. They may be mentally challenged, but all MC are not autistic.
Then there is physically challenged, the PC word for the physically disabled, which I personally hate... because I am physically disabled... disabled will do just fine....
What difference I see
Pork skins are sold in the package and can be out of the shelves, usually in the potato chip section. Cracklins which are fried bits of pork are sold in the meat department and need refrigeration, otherwise they spoil. Skins need no refrigeration.
There is a difference between ...
supply and demand and "inflation". Just look at the over supply in houses and cars now and you can get a great deal now. There is a fear of the food supply becoming scarce (whether that's true or not, I do not know), and scarcity or fear of scarcity increases the value.
Please tell me the difference in you
being a working single mother as opposed to a working divorced mother. Does it make a difference in your marital status or lack of some kind of way that a guy would talk that way? I just wonder how that plays into it?
Age difference...sm
My hubby is exactly 3 weeks older than me (we are both Virgos, but he doesn't act like a Virgo...he's too calm, cool, and collected).
I can't tell the difference when something has MSG and when it doesn't. nm

thanks Jon-but I knew difference between the 2.
If you want to make a difference each
month you can give $30 a month to Worldvision and sponsor a child and also help the community the child lives in. They also have a way you can give gifts at Christmas with their catalog (which I did this past year made my family cry) where you give $13 for a wheelchair! OF course it is not a high tech wheelchair but one that works well for the child that needs it. I have been doing this since 2003 it is a blessing.
Only difference, is most were legal and
not anymore. I do not want to pay more taxes and they pay ??? none perhaps to cover them. I pay enough as it is without adding on extra mouths to my taxes.
Oh, please! There is a big difference between a cookout
and a massive fire unattended leaping into the woods behind your homes that can set all the homes on fire. We can cook out all we want but we cannot have bonfires going. We live in a county where there is NO outside burning, be it your old cars or your barbecue. Sorry but if I lived here or somewhere else, safety should play a part in whether you would like to keep your residence. Just common sense to me. I love my peace and quiet. Other can live in rat holes if they like. We have our swimming pools, our tennis court, our neat and manicured yards, no loud music playing and rocking your home, no kids running in your yards, no fighting, swearing and the like, just pure blissful peace. Cant beat it! Best place I have ever lived. I would go for these rules in ole day commpared to the posts I have read and how others have to put up with crap. Not this woman!
How do you explain the difference between...
a republican and a democrat to a teenager?
The difference is about $150 - yikes!
I checked out the website and a 3-week supply of entrees and shakes was $294 plus shipping. Thanks for the info, but I think I'll try NutriSystem.
Difference between us and the situation you described...
I would have yelled back at her instead of hiding my tears. When she hurts our feelings, we let her know it. (I know, I shouldn't be yelling at my kid, but hey, I'm human, too.)
There is a huge difference between ...sm
spanking and beating. My dad used to get out his belt when I was bad. And I mean, I deserved it. Those lessons stuck in my brain, and I did not EVER break that rule again, not out of fear, but respect and I always thought twice about breaking any other rules. Even after I was past the age of spankings. I do not spank my kids with a belt, I cannot bring myself to do that, but I do not fault my dad for doing it to me when I deserved it. I also am a very nonviolent person. I will spank my kids when all the time outs and talking to don't work and nothing else seems to make the lesson stick in their head. They do not have bruises, they are not scared of me, they are happy kids. I think if a lot of other kids would have gotten the spankings they deserved when they were growing up to learn those lessons, they would not have been out shooting people or beating others up and have the issues they do now. And no, I did not grow up in the 50s. I am only 30 years old.
There's a little difference with smoking, though.
Your second-hand smoke is harmful to others and the environment.
Alcohol kills more people than just those who ingest it.
Obesity only kills the person suffering from it.
Rude to comment on it? Maybe. Then again, everyone who has to put up with the butts on the ground, the second-hand smoke, the nicotine stains and the stench of it clinging to you as you walk into the building -- well, I guess they do have a right to comment.
people don't know the difference between... cm
"your" and "you're" including medical transcriptionists (even worse).
The difference is that you never did; these guys have already been doing it. nm

What difference does it make? --sm
it all comes clean in the wash anyway. Their bowls are not any dirtier than yours are, after having eaten off of them. just my opinion.
What is the difference in a dog eating
raw chicken and roaming around outside and eating an animal it kills????
Reiterated over and over age difference
He says it doesn't bother him; he just wants to make me happy!
Totally amazing !
Ten years difference here, been married
for 7 years, his first and my eeks, 4th but this is the last, I promise...
Not saying I care - makes no difference to me
one way or the other. I just have a mild curiosity what others think. This is a forum, isn't it?
Heck no sounds like you can't tell the difference.

Difference between judgment and discrimination
It wasn't 20 years ago that he murdered those 2 people.
Yes, you are wrong and I will be happy to correct you. Most restaurants, especially privately owned local restaurants - that are not part of a franchised chain for example - have signs up that say they have the right to refuse service to anyone.
Also, you are using discrimination in a pejorative sense. Before political correctness robbed this country of its moral fiber and backbone, discrimination was a good thing. It meant using common sense and good judgment in every aspect of one's life. I think we could all use some discrimination in our lives together.
I see no reason why any business owner should be forced to serve anyone, as long as they aren't basing that refusal on religion, gender or race.
yes, exercise will definitely make a difference
