That's WiFi 101. What a bunch of maroons.
Yup. Most routers default to channel 6 and people don't know how to change it. My neighbors are all on 6, so both of mine are 3 channels opposite. Gotta love 3rd party firmware.
Nobody on the movie reference? Huh. "Herb, I wasn't even on aisle nine, I swear!"

Windows 10 gets one last, desperate nagware update
Microsoft has one more nagware update for you. As InfoWorld reports, this is an update to the previous full-screen nagware update. Now you get a countdown clock (the exclamation point is free) and a yellow exclamation point in the system tray, just in case you haven’t noticed the unusual Windows icon that’s been yammering for attention and trying to stealth-upgrade your system for the past 12 months.

So, I spent the better part of 2 days learning HTML and eventually creating a webpage based tutorial. I read that Google Drive will host this, at least until August 29th, plenty of time for me, this being my rookie attempt. That didn't work and now I'm confused. Do I need more than just the .html and associated photos? It displays wonderfully in my browser, but only shows up as a text document when the Drive link is used. Maybe I'm half brain dead from learning code. Seems like I'm missing a crucial step. Do I need a .css for a single page?
Tired, hot, and a little frustrated I guess. Thought about posting a thread but decided against it.

Also, my reason for doing all this? Got a few people I have to prove wrong.

That hard coded HTML with images certainly works locally, I've just tried it myself. As for CSS, that's usually done via a content management system(CMS), like say Wordpress, and the HTML is generated dynamically by the Wordpress system. In fact that might be the easiest way to quickly get a site up, use Wordpress, all you're doing them is just inputting the information and how it might look from templates, and not bothering with HTML coding at all. Manually coding a static HTML page that includes the content, that seems rather old school to me, 1990s and Geocities and Tripod and things, just about all sites now use a CMS engine. To use Wordpress, you need hosting that has PHP and MySQL.
wordpress.com is free

Thanks, Mike. Good to know I'm not crazy. As far as writing code I think I learn better by understanding the process. I thought it was fun...once. I've got an editor, like in the forums, but there are a lot of cool tricks left out.
Like the Marquee!
I'll take a look at wordpress, thanks for the recommend. There are many hosting sites and I'm sure some are scams.
Did you check out the Standard Disclaimer?

One such free hosting site is Google's Blogger, and that's definitely full of scams. There's plenty of legit paid web hosting sites, which are quite inexpensive, that support PHP and MySQL. I've actually run a Wordpress site hosted at goddady.com in the past, which was only about $6 a month. If you wish to get low-level with this stuff, IMO might be best to learn PHP, things like Wordpress, Drupal, forum software like phpBB, Vbulletin and Xenforo(which AF runs on) are all in PHP.
Thanks again. I'm starting to master to dual boot also. If Windows tells me I'm not allowed to do something I just switch to Linux and do it. And when Linux says I'm not allowed to do something I just switch to Windows and do it. Kind of works in Harmony.

Sometimes that works. I found out that Windows could give a rat's *** if a system.img is read-only. Sudo can't seem to write a bootable USB for my purposes. I have to use Linux to extract .iso...over to Windows to convert system.sfs to system.img. Back to Linux to mount .img to make changes. Back to Windows to repack system.sfs. To Linux to compress back to .iso. Windows to burn to USB. 
Unetbootin does fine making a bootable USB.. Ur killing yourself.

Nope. Not for this.

Either way, gotta give you props on finding a workaround or a way to accomplish your goals
I am slowly learning the command line. Right now, as far as frustration and typos, I'm more comfortable with GUI. This "dd" thing seems to come up a lot though. Definetly on my todo list.
With luck, the fruits of my labor will be made available by days end..........maybe tomorrow
Of all the USB burning utilities I have only found two that work and one of those is supplied by the competition. Rufus saved my bacon.
A result is tantalizingly near. It is out of my hands, however.
This .gif is funny, but it holds a special meaning. I just pulled it from a no right click website using source code. Maybe not a big deal for most, but for me this is a Milestone.
Edit: This is not the fruits of my labor, merely a distracting side-bar.

That just about sums Windows up.
That just about sums Windows up.So am I wrong to assume that a tower computer, made in 2010, is 32 bit?
Anyone got a spare Windows 7 factory image laying around?
It could be 64 bit, 2010. Depends what processor and mainboard is in it.
It is 64bit! Not sure if it can run a 64bit OS.
I'm not sure if it's worth it. Here's a brief rundown:
HP Pavillion Slimline
3Gb RAM
2.70Mhz AMD
Nvidia GEFORCE GPU
Windows 7
22" Flatscreen
Cost $0
Repaired fault in USB Port. Booted into Gparted. Everything looked good.
Booted into Win 7. Big time errors.
Wiped HDD, installed Mint Mate.
