How do I get internet on a computer that has no connection? I have 3 computers one is hooked up to the internet and has a wireless connection for the laptop but the other computer has no internet and don't have a phone jack; is there a way or a device that can give that computer internet or make it realize the wireless connection is there.

I guess with Malc and Co. absent we're going to have a lot of this junk on the site... or does someone have banning rights?
I can delete these (does anyone know what these are called -- innocuous looking messages that are used to paste links to after they're forgotten to improve search results for another site?) but I can't ban the persons responsible.

I saw it this morning, definitely looks like a thoughtless spam hit.

To fix the computer problem, first take a car battery and jumper cables linked to both negative and positive posts. Look for any exposed metal on the computer and firmly clamp both jumper cables in that location. If you do not get an arc (sparks or fire) try any other exposed metal until the required electrical arc happens. You should now be able to connect.

Sorted. I think I'm the only regularly active mod that has banning powers (note, there is a glitch in the forum code, so my 'global mod' status doesn't show!) I try to tackle these when I can, but the time isn't always there to check every single new post (and when bad links are edited into a post, they don't show as 'New'). So it's important for folks to keep their eyes open and use the report button (triangle "!" icon) if they think a post looks fishy. Reported posts stay highlighted in the mod's "To do" list until some action is taken - making sure that we aren't missing anything dodgy.
