Any technical help - Ask Jacob!

The top of my signature is a line of pink roses with a little butterfly flying bach and forth. That is what I see on my computer.

When I was away today and I looked at AllDeaf on my Blackberry, the top line was a little box saying an advertisement for animated gifs.

But when I was home on my computer screen it is still the roses with a butterfly.

Why?

Let me give you a tricky technical question to see if you really know.

What does Mb and MB stands for? Same goes for Gb and GB and so on. How do you convert from for example 400 Mb to MB? No cheating as I'm asking from your knowledge. ;)

MetaBytes and Megabits

Gilobytes and Gitabytes

400Mb goes into 4MB

Good enough?

I noticed that when I was surfing the site, i believe it is external link where it can not accept in blackberry format, I thin. But it works fine on a PC. Depends on their policy rule from the host server.

Another question Botts - are you on a PC? If so, From my end, I can see the advertisement from a PC too, so I might think as an alternative, it is a hotlink that they are not allowed :(

Not good enough. You're fired! :lol: (j/k)

It's actually Gigabytes and gigabits, not gilobytes and gitabytes.

It's actually 400 Mb into 50 MB. :) You need to divide 8 to any number in megabytes to get answer in megabits.
 
Good tech geek,

Which is more secure and why: dynamic or static routing?

I believe you are referring to these IP addresses stated inside the router...
Dynamic is the standard IP address where it constantly changes all the time, but static isn't standard, you get it and it remains the same, such for example, some people who has VPs they are on dynamic - you are a bit frustrated since it is constantly changing the IP addresses - such you have to give it every time you want to chat with a deaf recipicent. Static IP is different, it remains the same at all times. No worries there. :thumb:

Well, I am close enough, but I need to research a bit more about the converting part unfortunately, consider me fired if you please. :lol:

OK, dynamic, it changes every so often.
dynamic changes it IP every so often, this may deter some hackers (but by all mean not all).
static IP never changes, so your IP is like a land address, always the same.
thats the only security difference.
