I'm just going to unplug it when I don't need it. Hopefully that won't damage it.

[Gnudist]

That's what i do with my modems and haven't had problems yet. only ever had to change when switching isps

[Lioconvoy]

So it's normal for them not to have on/off switches?

isps?

What, you want to turn off wi-fi when you're not using it?

Well, I don't know about the modem you have, but I believe there was an option on one I've used before to switch it off, by accessing a configuration mode via browser. I haven't had the need to do anything like that in quite a while, so I'm not sure how to do it, but I think it was by inputting the gateway address (example: 192.168.100.1) in the address bar. If you get it right, it'll probably ask for a username and password, and -- if there is one -- there should be a default listed either with the product or your ISP set one up for you (which doesn't sound like the case, since you'd know how to configure your modem).

If the modem is on the wi-fi is on. That I don't mind. What I do mind is if it's on and my comp or game system isn't then it's just a waste of power.

[Gnudist]

None of the modems I have have a power switch. so probably normal

[Crescent Pulsar S]

If the modem is on the wi-fi is on. That I don't mind. What I do mind is if it's on and my comp or game system isn't then it's just a waste of power.

Oh, that? I just pull out the plug in the back when I want it off. I don't find it all that inconvenient.

You might want to consider moving all electronics that don't require constant power for proper functioning (Like maintaining clocks etc.) to switched power strips. Many devices, even turned off, use power just because they are plugged in. Its a side effect of power supplies that use transformers.

[Lioconvoy]

Yeah I know that Spok, but it's a bit too much of a hassle to unplug everything. My Bills normally not that bad.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Don't worry about it, then. Our power bill is over two-hundred a month, so be glad you're not working to support three electricity-wasters.

So, this weeks Saturday morning slow Jam none other than Sailor Moon

[Spokavriel]

So what exactly is suppose to be special about these covers again? I like that they have Gretsch Drums but well, this time they used some of the americanized lyrics starting off then just did the original version after it... Is it just that they have fun playing the songs?

[talonhunter]

It's a combination of things, one they have fun doing these covers. Two, remixing the music into different genre of music,(usually jazz, Motown or swing) they are showing what some different vocalizTions and music mixes can do for classic or popular iconic songs. This version of sailor moon for exams, uses more lounge jazz piano instead of synthesizes and a slightly slower tempo

[Spokavriel]

They still had the combo organ going for the melody overtones at the start and end.

[Lioconvoy]

Okay....I thought Transformers was bad, but this was indeed worse. Stick to one version of the song, the two can't be interchanged. This that only watched the U.S. version are probably wondering what the hell she was doing and those that know that Japanese version are probably plotting her death.
