Anybody?
I'd sure like to get this solved.
Should this be in a different forum?
Thanks.

Remove Splash Page
I'm helping a friend with this site:
http://www.celiapearson.com/
Google analytics says she's getting a 25% bounce rate on the page, so we want to delete it and substitute the page you get when you click "Enter".
I thought it would be as simple as removing index.php and renaming index2.php as index.php, but apparently not.
I have a lot of HTML sites, but I don 't know much about Php, obviously.
How do I go about this?

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

Why the facetious question?
What are you laughing about?
How does this contribute to the solution?

Hi,
I totally agree, it would be of great use, will you send one to the OP or just the $25.00 to buy it?
PS. Ill have one as well please. lol

I'm not sure I follow all that, but, in General, to use two routers:
Assign a fixed IP to the second router outside the range of the first.
Disable DHCP on the second router.
Connect from Router 1 to a Lan port on router 2.
Post ipconfig from a PC on each router.

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

Hello, fellow Tivo user.
Post ipconfig from the PC.
Is there a firewall installed?
What router are you using? I'd suspect a problem with the router config.

Encourage GUI use to the max. The developers know damn well this lack is what's keeping Linux out of the mainstream.

What is the OS?

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

We'd need to know the make and model of the computer to know about the BIOS.
Where did you get this info?

That's no help. I need the make and model of the router.

Hi,

i accidently disabled Wireless Zero Configuration without realising i shouldn't have since i use a wireless network. However, after changing back the setting to Automatic it still doesn't pick up the wireless signal. Can anyone advise what else i need to do to restore back to normal?

thanks
yaduks.

Do you have a volume icon in the system tray? Have you adjusted the master volume in Control Panel/Sound?
This is a media OS, and there's no way MS would try to prevent you from blasting away.

I did numerous searching and it appears that Windows7 does have a fixed volume setting that can't be changed. Unless in the future they fix this until then, oh well.

Describe your hardware completely.
64 bit or 32?
How much RAM?
Post ipconfig /all.

Start with Control Panel/Admin Tools/Event Viewer/System and look for red errors relating to USB errors.
There's also a Hardware error log that might help.

Most of all, this kind of comment, "What a waste of post" is uncharitable and adds nothing useful to the discussion.

maybe it was luck maybe it wasn't, built and rebuilt 100'sof towers and don't never remember having a problem getting a cdrom to work to were i had to install a driver for it

Aren't you lucky. There was a time when this was a huge problem as there were many different drivers for CD ROMs.

what a waste of post ,never have i need to install cdrom drives different than the ones install by windows , for any windows os that i have ever used to the best of my memory

And thank you for actually reading my question.
First, is it actually necessary to stop Mar's revolution to change the orbit? I don't see another way, but I'm way out of my field here. I did get to work on the first Lunar Lander when I was at Grumman in the late 60's, but I was in instrumentation.
Logistics would certainly be a big factor. I'm more inclined to shuttle personnel and equipment from an orbiting platform than to establish a full-fledged colony. There would need to be some kind of Mars side installation, of course.
I see the engines arranged installed and arranged such that they can be rotated in the proper direction to oppose the rotation of Mars, and to gradually apply the necassary force to slow and stop it.
Later, they would be swiveled to apply the necessary force to change the orbit.

Thank you for actually responding to my questions.

Now, I have worked out how much energy you are going to need to stop the rotation (I will allow you to hand-wave the fusion engines), how will you apply it? You probably do not want to release the full 133,190,011,230 mT at one time.

I am not up on planetary mechanics so I am interested in what will happen to the angular momentum - will changing rotation change revolution? There is quite a bit of angular momentum in Mars' revolving around the sun and I am pretty sure that there is …

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

From the very first Post:"It seems to me we need to stop the rotation first, in order to apply directional force to change the orbit. I'm thinking many large rocket engines arranged along the equator (Fusion powered, of course)."
In problems like this it's important to understand the objective, and it seems to me from your answers that you haven't been paying attention.
I am now mounting a small, gimballed jet engine on the front of your car on the frozen lake, and using a computer to control its thrust. It's now stopped.

You still have not explained how you will stop the car. Does this 'opposite force' appear out of nowhere? Please bring the car to a halt - use your knowledge of vectors to explain where the energy of the car goes; while you are at it explain how you apply this 'opposite force'. I might be a jerk but you have not offered anything to your own thread but fairy dust and mystical hand-waving smoke and mirrors.

Changing a planets orbit is not what you are postulating; what you postulate is stopping a planets rotation which is not anything like changing a planets orbit.

I have a set of Feynman's lectures on physics here (I: 18-5) where he states that (much math here that you can read for yourself sometime) "One extremely important case of the [above] theorem is the law of conservation of angular momentum: if no external torques act upon …

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

So, apply an opposite force to achieve the objective.
If you guys just want to discuss why this can't be done and call me names, please go elsewhere. There's no theoretical reason a planet's orbit can't be changed.

So.. what?

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

I've never thought of you as a jerk prior to that post, but I've changed my mind.
Go back to basic physics and vectors. Even with your apparently very limited knowledge and imagination you should be able to solve your frozen lake problem.
I obviously can't control who participates in this thread, but I'd appreciate it if the Philistines would just move on.

In basic physics we learned about vectors, so

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

Remember the guy who said personal computers had no use? Didn't they laugh at Fulton? Einstein had skeptics.
There's this whole realm of literature called Science Fiction, and I'm quite fond of it.

Have you thought about this? It would take thousands of years to slow any planet's rotation down.. See, planets are really really big, newton tells us that really really big things do not like to stop moving. And unless you have rockets the size of the moon and bigger then i can say that there is very little chance we could do anything, at all.

Instead, why don't you go outside and plant trees? Thats a lot better way to save our planet.

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

Angular momentum is just a number. In theory, just apply enough force along the same plane and you can negate it.
My (admittedly simplistic) theory is explained in the very first post, along with Mar's mass.

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

Nobody said a thing about stopping earth's rotation. We're talking about Mars here. Mars rotation is 869/kph at the equator, about 540 miles per hour.
Maybe you're having trouble with the concept: slow it down until stops, apply enough force to change the orbit until it's closer to the Sun.
I haven't heard a single reason it can't be done.

"Waa, waa? "
This is a simple speculative, engineering question, so I'm not sure where the critics are coming from.
You may have a reason that the revolution can't be stopped or sloweed, but I'd like to know what it is. My thought is to do this very gradually, then reinstate it after the orbit has been adjusted.
It seems to me, and my knowledge of orbital mechanics is very limited, that all we're talking about is increasing or reducing the speed at which Mars travels through space. Faster, the size of the orbit increases, slower, it decreases.

Sorry - you can't stop the rotation nor can you stop the revolution; what you do is take them into account (like using English ((why is it called 'English')) in pool). Well, this is actually as far as I want to go - most any force applied to alter the orbit of Mars will tear it apart.

The teleportation idea is better but only a blind optimist would predict availability in 10 years - it took 25 years for the first report of using silicon as a storage medium to getting USB thumb drives.

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

No.

Teleportation. Scientist have already teleported the first particle. So the technology is going to be available in about the next 10 years so you could just teleport the planet. But why would you move mars or any planet. Mars is fine where it is.

I have already read the whole thread but are you saying that since Mars is too far away to get to we should teleport the planet closer so it will be just as accessible as the moon. I don't think very many scientists would be keen on doing that as it would affect Mars orbit.

hughv 104 Veteran Poster

You gotta' read the whole thread. You're just like the blind men and the elephant.
