    Anyone a network engineer, network architect, knowledgeable in building networks? I am very stumped on creating a network in Cisco Packet Tracer.

  • Math Assistance ?

    Good Evening, 

    The problem is please express the equation in terms of x (solve for x). Is the below correct? 

    y=(x+2)(x+1)

    y=x^2 + 1x + 2x +2

    y=x^2 + 3x + 2

    y - 2=x^2 +3x

    y - 2 + 3x = x^2

    √ y - 2 +3x = √x^2

    x =  √ y- 2 + 3x

  • Algebra Question?

    So it's been quite some time since I've used algebra. I started with y= (x+2)(x+1) and I need to express x in terms of y. So far I've done the following

    Start

    y=(x+2)(x+1)

    y=x^2 + 2x + 3x +2

    y=x^2 + 5x +2

    y - 2=x^ + 5x

    y - 2 -5x=x^2

    I'm drawling a blank on how to remove the exponent to show the equation further broken down to only have x=  on one side. Is this accurate thus far and can you please provide the steps to break down further?

    Thank you -

  • Methods in Java?

    I am trying to understand methods in Java (Net Beans), however, I am currently stuck. I'm looking at an example from https://www.w3schools.com/java/java_methods.asp and I can't get it to build or run successfully. I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Conceptually, I understand what it is doing by taking the code and adding methods then outputing them. Would you be able to inform me of the full code from top to bottom of how to get the below program to run? Thank you!

    public class MyClass {

    static void myMethod(String fname) {

    System.out.println(fname + " Refsnes");

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    myMethod("Liam");

    myMethod("Jenny");

    myMethod("Anja");

    }

    }

    // Liam Refsnes

    // Jenny Refsnes

    // Anja Refsnes

  • Very Confused with this dating question?

    I was dating a girl from mid Sept until the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Everything was going well so I decided to introduce her to my friends the first weekend in Nov. I picked her up and we met up at a brewery in town (not a place you get wild). Everything is going well. My friends to like her and she seems to like them. We left since it was nearly closing time and went back to her apartment and watched a show. After that we were talking and I asked her what her expectations were with dating and (order may be off) said I'd like her to be my gf. She then told me she was previously engaged to a guy she dated from high school up until a year and a half ago. She dated him for 10 years+ since we're later 20's. She told me she'd definitely like to move things forward but not put a label on things which I said was okay. Before I left for the night I asked her if she'd like to come to a Friendsgiving and she said definitely with a huge smile. We were still texting and talked via phone a few times and things seemed okay for about a week then she starts to be weird. The day before Thanksgiving I get a text "You're a really run guy. I'm not as sure as I thought I was to start dating. I don't want to waste your time" 2hrs later I get "Hope I didn't upset you. Thought you should know" I message back "Things seemed off since you when home last weekend. Did something happen. I'm sure it was difficult to open up about being engaged last time we saw each other." What should I do?

  • Backing up iPhone to iCloud?

    I'm trying to back up my iPhone contacts and all apps to the iCloud. I've gone through and done so by going to settings, iCloud, back up now and doing that back up. However, when I log into iCloud through my computer not all of my contact information is there. Is everything actually backed up to the iCloud, however, it is just not visible when I am looking at the iCloud through my computer?

    Before I upgraded my phone from the 4s to the 6 I recall doing a hard backup and connecting my phone to the computer using the power cord.

    If it is not actually doing a full back up since not all of my contacts are showing up when I log onto the computer how can I ensure everything is backed up to iCloud?

  • Living in Dallas?

    I'm considering applying for a new position within my current company, however, it is in Dallas, TX which is about half way across the country from home. What is it really like to live in/move to Dallas, TX as someone in their mid 20's who is not going to know anyone.

    The position should mention that work will probably keep me pretty busy.

    Also, I should mention I'm not the most outgoing person although I do like spending time with friends. However, I'm a little concerned about having to meet new people. The office in which I'd be working is very small as in only 3-5 people so I can't count on that meet people.

    I'm really just looking for an honest answer as to what it is like to live in Dallas not knowing anyone

  • Excel - Combinations from data set?

    How can you determine all of the possible combinations for a series of 1000 numbers. For example, I am trying to determine all of the possible combination for all of the 3 digit zip codes in the United States for a project. I think the best way to do this is use the Kutool download for Excel but I'm open to other suggestions. Then once I have the answer with all of the combinations I want to display all of the possible combinations in two columns next to one another. I'm thinking this will be 1,000,000 combinations so doing it by hand will take forever. Does anyone know how to do this?

  • Pressure in my head and lack of concentration?

    Good evening -

    Over the past few weeks I've felt that there is pressure in the back left of my head and occasionally on the right side (to my knowledge I've not knocked my head on anything). Also, it feels as though I'm not able to concentrate on things as much as I normally do. Other than this I'm perfectly fine. Has anyone had something similar to this and should I think anything of this?

  • Is this irrational?

    This is kind of a strange two part question and I'm a guy in my mid 20's. First, let me say that I do not like my job and am in the process of actively looking for a new job. In fact I even had an interview last week.

    The second part is that I'm also looking to settle down with someone. However, I don't believe that person is where I currently reside which is not too far outside of Washington, D.C. Hence, I'm considering relocating and am considering Texas, specifically Houston, TX as I've met a few people from there and they all seem to be very nice and easy going. Also, there are many companies based in Houston and their economy is doing a little better then the rest of the country so companies are hiring.

    Just about all of my friends and family are still living around the D.C. area so if I do choose to relocate I will essentially be uprooting my entire life to go to a place where I do not know anyone. My group of friends is fairly small yet it's a great group of people I wouldn't want to trade. Also, I should mention that I'm not the most outgoing person so meeting new people may not be the easiest for me.

    Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you do and are you happy with your decision or not? I am really looking for someone to settle down with I honestly don't thing she is where I live now but I have a great group of friends here.

    I feel like this scenario is kind of similar to Ted in "How I Met Your Mother."

  • Kickin myself....?

    Last weekend my friends and I went to a local bar (age - early/mid 20's). I saw a girl that I thought was very attractive and wanted to make a move but ended up not making a move. She left fairly early but had more than enough time to make a move. She kept looking over at our group and one of my guy acquaintances said he though she may be interested and I should make a move to talk to her. Regrettably, I didn't do so. Also, my one friend said he recognized her from high school although they were not friends, nor do they know each other well enough to speak at a bar. I was the only guy in our group that wasn't their "together" with someone. Perhaps, the girl to whom I was attracted was simply trying to figure out if she recognized my friend from from their high school days. Since my friend knew the girls name I ended up finding her on Facebook. How weird would it be to randomly message this girl on Facebook? And if you think that is a good idea, what would be the best way to phrase it?

    Of course the ideal situation would be seeing this girl around again and I know I'd make some sort of move since I'm still kicking myself a week after the fact. However, my friends and I go to this bar fairly regularly and this is the first time I've seen her there. I don't exactly live in a small town so bumping into her again would just have to be pure luck.

  • I'm kickin myself now?

    Last weekend my friends and I went out to the bar (mid 20's). I saw a girl there that I was very interested in meeting, however, regrettably I never made a move (I'm a shy guy). It appeared that this girl that I was interested in keep looking over at our group and my one acquaintance said I should make a move. I was the only one in our group not there "together" with someone. One of my friends recognized her and knew her name because he went to high school with the girl. (Maybe she was just looking over to see if she recognized him idk) My friend said they didn't really know each other well so they did not talk at the bar. Since he knew her name I found the girl that I wish I made a move on at the bar on Facebook. How weird would it be to message her via Facebook? Obviously, we're not Facebook friends and I think it would be pretty weird to do so. And if you do think it is worth messaging her via Facebook, what is the best not creepy way to do so and phrase it? Maybe I'll get lucky and run into this girl somewhere again which would be ideal to make a move. I know I'll actually do it this time since I'm kicking myself for not doing it in the first place. We do go to this bar fairly regularly and this is the first time I've ever see her there.

  • Bedroom Issues?

    I'm a guy in my mid 20's and have never had any issue getting an erection. However, when I was with my girlfriend a couple weeks back she was going to go down on me (this was the first time we had done that as we've only been dating for a short time, roughly a month or so). The night before I couldn't keep it down. When she started to go down on me I wasn't getting an erection even after several minutes. Embarrassing, needless to say. Yet the previous times we hung out and were just laying there cuddling/spooning I couldn't keep it down. I used to be able to get erect without issue. I'd even be just sitting at work and be like, well I guess I have an erection. This incident occurred three weeks ago and haven't been getting erections nearly as easily if at all as I did in the past. Then two weeks ago I was able to get an erection for awhile while she was going down on me, however, I started to get flaccid but she wanted to watch me do it myself so I ended up ejaculating. However, since that time I haven't really gotten erections, nor have I ejaculated. Has anyone else run into this issue and what solutions are there? Like a month ago I had no issue. I've noticed I have a way lower sex drive now as well in comparison to a month ago. Is it is possible since I've laid off on fitness and weight lifting over the past year my testosterone levels decreased causing the issue? What's going on? I don't want to go to the doctor for this as I'm still on my parents medical for now.

  • Bedroom issue?

    Yesterday my girlfriend and I were fooling around and she was going to go down on me for the first time (we've only been dating for a month). However, I couldn't get an erection or keep an erection. Obviously I'm attracted to her. The night before we were just making out and I had an erection the whole time. I thought I was good to go and we tried again a little bit later but I ran into the same issue. We tried for a third time and I was able to stay up for a little bit also I wasn't as hard as I know I can be. So she went down on me for a bit then I started getting flaccid again so never reached the point of ejactulation. I feel like I'm only getting half of the engine firing. I'm only in my mid 20's and used to get full erections without issue less than a year ago. Have any other guys experienced this and what can I do to make sure I can get and keep an erection so I can please my girlfriend?

  • How to figure out your life?

    I'm a 25 year old guy trying to figure out what do with my life. I have a bachelor's in marketing and management and have worked in sales and logistics for the past two years. However, I know that is not what I want to do forever. Currently, I am considering going back to grad school for my MBA. I definitely do not want to do sales in any way shape or form again. I'd like a career where I can obtain a salary of at least 100k annually, do a little some travelling and not work super crazy hours. Accounting has definitely been ruled out considering I did not like it as an undergrad. By no means am I the smartest guy out there, however, I do work very hard. In just going back and looking through the GMAT practice guide today, I feel as though I have tremendous amount of re-learning to do. This especially pertains to the math category which is very intimidating to me as I have never been that good with math although once I understand it I do get it.

    With that said, I'm also considering doing something completely different and becoming a nurse or doing something fitness related. I'm trying to figure out what do with my life and I honestly have no idea. How would you suggest determining what do with my life?

  • Girls what would you think of this?

    A friend of mine from college and I went to grab a bite to eat the other night while she was back in town for the holiday. She lives in a different state about a 1,000 miles away now. While we were talking she brought up that I would probably think one of her friends is cute and proceeded to show me a picture. I did happen to think her friend was very cute. This is probably kind of creepy but I ended up looking up her friend on Facebook later as well. Hey come on now, don't act like you wouldn't do the same. However, my question is would it be weird if I asked my friend to put us in touch? I have never spoken to this girl. She may or may not have any idea who I am since I don't know whether my friend has ever brought me up in front of her friend. I am interested in getting in touch with my friend's friend that lives a 1,000 miles away. First of all as a girl would you think this is very weird? What would you suggest the best method for doing so is while not being weird and creepy. I can imagine if a girl tells another girl that hey so I showed your picture to my friend and he's interested in meeting you that may be off putting and cause a lack of interest. Fyi. I'm In my early to mid 20's as is my friend and we have professional jobs. I'd prefer girls that are over 20 years old answer this one.

  • Think I may have caused some damage to the urethra?

    So this past weekend I was self pleasuring and using an empty toilet paper roll and a box on top of it that probably weighed a little too much. Then I ejaculated a second time Saturday and probably started well before I was ready to again as I went flacid relatively quickly. Now I can't really really get much of an erection although it feels like it is trying to. I did get a brief one but it didn't last for long after looking as some graphic images. Is it possible that I caused permanent damage down there? I want to have a family someday and this is very embarrassing. Is this something anyone has experienced? Please only provide serious answers.
