At the risk of getting way off-topic and pedantic, I'm pretty sure DSL is indeed modulated and de-modulated, so "modem" is perfectly appropriate. I'm not so sure about cable, but I would suspect that many cable network interfaces still involve modulation and de-modulation.
Why isn't there an expert system in the power management options app that will change these settings according to users' wishes?
Because you didn't write it yet.
Don't lick on that table header! You don't know where that table header's been!
There are even some proper nouns that should not be capitalized, such as k.d. lang or ping. I think that such words should remain all lower case, even at the beginning of a sentence, but I'm not sure there's a rule on that.
1) Ping is becoming less useful as more admins block DHCP traffic.
2) ping is becoming less useful as more admins block DHCP traffic.
3) ping is becoming less useful as more admins block DHCP traffic.
I find version 3 most readable, followed by version 2. Version 1 just looks wrong to me.
You're absolutely right, and upon re-reading, I can see that princessproton meant "with peers" as an adjective phrase.
Your reply brings up another interesting issue. Most grammarians would hold that your first comma belongs inside the quote. I understand why you put it outside -- the phrase you were quoting did not include a comma, and you didn't want to make the quote inaccurate by including it. (I used bold and italics rather than quotes to avoid a similar dilemma.) However, you did capitalize the first letter in both quotes, even though they were not capitalized in the original, as they each started a new sentence. I'm not saying you're wrong in either case -- I just find it interesting.
And the error is where?
The error is in number agreement. The phrase peers that doesn't should read peers that don't .
I signed up in 1983 or so, after I got my Atari 800 and 300-baud modem. The CB Simulator was fun. I still remember fondly that people back then typed complete sentences and words, not like the ch475p33k crap that passes for communication these days.
Yes, and it was considered extremely rude to ask someone's age, sex or location, at least without spending a couple of weeks getting to know them. In fact, it was pretty easy to offend somebody by being too familiar too soon. Punishment for such offense was to be completely ignored, as if you didn't exist.
I don't remember my Account Number, but I signed up in 1987, shortly after I bought my Atari 1040ST and a 2400-baud modem. I got hooked on the CB Simulator, and spent myself into severe debt. Good times.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
