How do telephone poles suddenly start sprouting branches?
Q. I live in CT and there are a few telephone poles near me that are sprouting little branches. It's not moss or anything like that and it is all the way up the poles. I know the poles are cut and shaped into the typical telephone pole style - so they are dead, right? How do they suddenly start growing little branches all the way up their sides? Do they re-grow roots somehow? It's really weird. Thanks for your answer!

Does a cordless home telephone exists that incorporates multiple cell phones via bluetooth?
Q. I do not think it exists yet (though Panasonic has come close), but perhaps I am wrong. I was looking to see if a cordless home telephone yet existed that allowed not only a landline connection for regular telephone use, but also bluetooth connections simultaneously to multiple cellular telephones. From a practical standpoint, this would allow a home telephone, and also allow family members to leave their cell phones (likely near the base I would assume) and also allow their cellular telephones to ring on the house telephone. Also--I do imagine this exists with business systems, that are likely very expensive. My question is really whether residential versions have been developed yet.

A. Hi, I would suggest using www.192.com. This is a directory enquiries service, where you can find people without the full address. It has records of phone numbers, electoral registers and company directors. If you are unable to find your friend using this, it may be that they have not registered to vote (or are not eligible) and do not have a fixed telephone service or are ex-directory. On the other hand, you could try relying on the royal mail. They manage to deliver plenty of letters with very incomplete addresses, and your friend has a distinctive enough name to make the process more likely to succeed, so mailing something to them with the address "London" only might work. Another option would be to contact any Brazilian societies… [cont.]

How was the first telephone different to the modern one?
Q. Differences in how they work...I don't care about who invented the telephone or any of the parts, just the differences.
Asked by Tyrone - Mon Oct 27 23:26:43 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The very first telephone used a carbon particle microphone: basically a pile of carbon granules that would get squished together by the mic's diaphragm. A DC current would pass through this cabon and the movement of the diaphragm would vary the resistance. The receiver used a magnet and coil like a modern speaker. The first carbon mic was very crude and unreliable, but through development became practical. The button mic (as it came to be known) was used in phones up until the 1980s or so, and is still in use in some specialty phones or in older systems. That said, most phones today (including wireless handsets) use either a voice coil (dynamic) mic or an electret (capacitive) mic. The earpiece still uses a voice coil speaker, just like… [cont.]

Does telephone wire produces interfrence or bad reception if it is used for Cable TV reception?
Q. I have used telephone wire in place of conventional coaxial cable to receive Cable TV. But the picture as well as sound quality I am getting is not good. Is it due to telephone wire and should I replace it with coaxial cable?
Asked by Nafees I - Sun Jul 27 00:41:18 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes you should. This cable does not 'receive' the signal, but instead just carries it from the supply cable to the TV. A coaxial cable is shelded, and its impedance is matched to both the supply cable and the TV over all of the frequencies you need. Telephone wire isn't even close to that.

Being assumptive is a key part to making phone surveys or sales. Just assume that the customer is going to participate and move forward with that.

Is it appropriate to put telephone numbers instead of addresses on a resume?
Q. On the resume template on microsoft word it asks for addresses of the references. Is it ok to change it to telephone numbers, because i don't know all of there addresses?
Asked by diane - Thu Apr 2 10:25:07 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Generally, all you need is a way for the people you're giving your resume to to be able to contact the person who referenced you. In a way, nowadays phone numbers and e-mails may even be more useful, but addresses just seem professional in a way. I'd just put down whatever you have. If it's not too urgent, try and get the address. If you can't, try at least to have phone and e-mail, so 2 ways of contact. Hope this helps :)

A. It depends on how far away you are from where they warrant was issued. Most extradition limits on a misdemeanor offense is 300 miles and its more for a felony. so if you are 2000 miles away i think you are safe as long as you don't return to the original place and get pulled over by the police. As for the failure to appear warrant there is nothing you can do about that if you were there you have a warrant. just don't Get caught. good luck

A. only way you are going to get Hi speed internet 700 feet is to either run fiber optic cable or use a point to point wireless system. Neither option is cheap. You can't run cat5 or cat6 over 300 feet without having packet loss issues, you can try it but I gurantee you will not get the results you are hoping for. Now if you are on cable with your broadband and phone then you may be able to run some RG6 and put a signal amplifier at the opposite end and hope it works. If the telephone service you want to extend is a plain old POTS line (regular analog phone line) then you can just run some CAT3 or even CAT5 cable without an issue, trying to transfer data over 300 feet is when you run into issues with cable lengths, Analog phone will work… [cont.]
