ST knows: I am looking to have one computer function as a server and another computer being able to get stuff off the server. - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 11, 08:44 4
- If it's local, you just need a router or a switch. If you're only talking about file sharing, both Windows and OS X have that built in. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 09:08 1
  - A bit more complex than file sharing. The tech guy who is hooking up my mom's new equipment is clueless. :/ -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 11, 09:15

      - I remember it quite well enough. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:37
      - I don't. It's a moment that needs to be remembers but I don't think we need to see them going down. - Krusty Sep 11, 08:29 2
        
        I think it's there for those that want to watch. Those that don't can watch another channel. -- nm - I'm Bacon Sep 11, 08:30 1
        
        This is just my opinion but I don't think showing them fall is necessary for anyone to see. - Krusty Sep 11, 08:31
      - I think so to. especially since we have no resolution to the attacks vs. Pearl Harbor. -- nm - Remlik Sep 11, 08:22 4
        
        Can you believe Osama Binladin is still walking around free? That's such utter bullshit -- nm - I'm Bacon Sep 11, 08:27 3

- wait ... "whole future based on one test" ? that's sounds ominous - is it multiple choice? -- nm - JenBro Sep 10, 23:09 3
  - Yes, multiple choice. There are certain scores one needs to get to be competitive for certain specialties/locations/hospitals (to do residency). -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 10, 23:16 2
    - I don't suppose they let you re-take it if you don't test particularly well right? One of my friend's daughters just re-took her college entrance - JenBro Sep 10, 23:21 1
