Just like last year, my age is a number you can score with one dart. The year before that, it wasn't, and it won't be next year.



How old am I?

    I tend to read puzzles I see on the HNQ. This one made me smile because I could actually SOLVE it and because we are the same age. :)

You are...




51. Since you can score it (triple 17) and a 50 (bullseye) on a dartboard with a single dart, but not a 49 or a 52.

Last and next year, your age couldn't be thrown with a single dart, but this year you can, right? You are...




...either 30, 36, 42, 45, 48, 54, 57 or 60 years old!




Misread the question a little, you are now




51, congrats!

            How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

            up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format.

            QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

            Image
            1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
