When you buy something with a debit card does the amount change online instantly or does it take a bit of time?

It depends how quickly the retailer submits the request for payment. The amount of the transaction is deducted immediately from your available funds, but the actual transaction will only show on your account once the retailer has asked for payment from the bank. For example... Last Friday, I used my debit card in Sainsbury's. The total value of the purchases was immediately subtracted from my available funds - but - the actual transaction didn't show until this morning.

Why is a spreadsheet different to a calculator?

A spreadsheet has much more capabilities than a calculator. There are far more built in functions than a calculator. You can do things like list all your figures on the spreadsheet, so that you can see them all at once, which you can't do on a calculator. Without having to type them all in again, you can do further calculations on the same figures. You can easily change figures to try different things. You can have all sorts of subtotals and use them for further calculations. You can save all your figures in a file.

These are just a few of the advantages. There are many, many more. A calculator is handy for a quick and simple calculation, but if you want to do anything more than that, a spreadsheet is a better option. A spreadsheet is a calculator and a lot more besides that.

a discharge, esp. temporary, of a worker or workers.

• a period when this is in force.

a period during which someone does not take part in a customary sport or other activity: they needed to rehabilitate injuries or just brush up after long layoffs.

"Layoffs" are the temporary or permanent release of employees from a company due to downsizing or restructuring or other business reason, as opposed to discipline or individual terminations.

Originally, "layoffs" were temporary, to reduce the labor expense during periods of low sales or lagging profits. Often the employees would be re-activated or rehired preferentially before any new employees. However, the term is now generally applied (as a euphemism for 'firings') to any mass reduction in the labor force of a company or industry, even permanent ones.

How do you configure my wireless router on a high bandwidth allocation?

Any router (including most models of the very inexpensive linksys WRT54G series) that is capable of running the dd-wrt firmware are capable of QOS/bandwith allocation.

There aren't many netgear routers that have enough memory to run the dd-wrt firmware, but check the link and see if your particular router is in the hardware compatibility list.

If it is, you can install the dd-wrt firmware on the router. Under the QOS (Quality of Service) tab you can set bandwiths, priorities, limits, etc. These can be set by MAC address, IP address, or port number. The dd-wrt firmware is a very powerful firmware, considering the entire OS will fit in the 2MB of flash available on a WRT54G and similar router. (It's a small linux distro, but you don't need to know linux. Almost everything is configurable thorugh the web interface.)

How do you get AOL without a landline?

You can purchase a modem that works off the GSM network (mobile phone network). These modems are relatively inexpensive about £30 in the UK. All you need to do, is charge it up, add the SIM card and pair (link up) whatever device you want to use to access the internet. These devices create a wireless access point, so you don't need a landline. Once you pair up the device you want to use, then you now have access to the internet. The other way to have access to the internet, is by using a mobile phone that has internet tethering abilities. It's more or less the same process as above, except you don't use a separate GSM modem, the mobile phone becomes a GSM modem instead (this option saves the purchase of buying extra kit). Another option is to take a wifi enabled device and find a free wifi local hotspot. You can visit a local library, they normally provide access to the Internet and in the UK provide a computer as well, although access is not always free using this option. There is also satellite internet, which can be expensive.

Why is silicon difficult to cut?

It is very easy to cut, however it would be difficult to cut into a desired shape.

When you cut silicon you score it slightly then press it against an edge.

However, it only breaks along the crystal lattice since silicon is usually available as a single crystal wafer.

This means that you can only make clean breaks in the material. It does not "cut", you can only break it into pieces.
