I have a two story house with two phone jacks with DSL. It is the same number and such, just different places. One is in my room downstairs and the other is my brother's room upstairs. He uses the DSL upstairs and we don't have lan cables enough to reach each side and go all over the house and such. I have SBC Yahoo DSL and two DSL modems from SBC.

Is it possible for me to use one modem downstairs and the other upstairs at the same time? Thanks

      The Nokia Lumias? Or the third-party HTC One8's? I had HTC's hardware cuz it was slick and reliable... but, yeah, the software left me wanting more and I just couldn't allocate personal time to develop all of the software I would have wanted to see (overworked in other capacities @ MSFT at the time, heh).

      Microsoft's mobile strategy had great future vision and UX research, but mediocre engineering and inadequate support (third-party and internal business alike). The death knell for WinMo was Google's (mostly YouTube's) incessant API blocking and purposeful release of buggy WinMo builds to force consumers to stay away -- and this was conducted via sabotage of whatever partnerships they were supposed to play nice in. I still yearn for that UI on a modern smartphone...

      Linux has always been an option but never adopted by the masses despite being free. The reasons are limited usability and features. Despite everything we all complaint about with MS , the overall experience for the general public is much better than what Linux can deliver.

      If nothing works automatically for you, I'd say pick a better/different distro. Granted, it's trickier with laptops because they use all kinds of weird hardware, but still. I actually just did a fresh Arch Linux install on my netbook, and given that Arch is certainly not an "automagical" distro, I had to do very little manual tweaking, everything but the audio worked out of the box (including plasma and Wayland) and the audio was simply an issue of installing an additional firmware package that wasn't included in the default selection. Which is equivalent of installing additional drivers in Windows. Surely a more user-oriented distro would be even less troublesome (but granted, I haven't used/tested anything outside of Arch for quite some time). And let's not forget that a fair bit of issues that get blamed on Linux (though it also applies to Windows issues) are actually caused by hardware vendors not giving a damn.

      The reason Linux will never succeed for consumers is simple. There are 800 distro’s and 400 active versions. As a consumer, “I want Linux” - great, which one? No single App Store, and websites will say “use this app, oh, sorry, doesn’t work on yours”. No single place for support, community help is reduced, so many apps don’t work or have compatibility problems. Drivers from manufacturers have issues. The gaming industry isn’t behind it. if you have an old pc, then sure, try Linux, you might love it. But the arguments above don’t stack up.
