What volume of the US Auto insurance market is sold "direct"? e.g. internet, phone, mail(not via local agents)
Q. The Auto insurance market has historically sold policies via local agents: either "independent" agents (e.g. they sell several brands) or "captive" agents(e.g. the sell only one brand). There has been a great deal of media focus on growth in the volume of policies sold via the internet (with no agent involvement) or via the phone to a call center. Insurance providers GEICO and Progessive are leaders in this method. I am looking for actual data on what was sold in a recent year (2005, 2006, or 2007) using these direct methods, for the entire auto insurance industry. -$ volume of policies sold -volume of policies sold -% of policies sold

A. Someone in the world has the information your looking for, unfortunatly It's going to cost you some $$ to get it. Groups like PCI, NAIC & III have people who gather insurance filings from all fifty states and create reports. But unless you're a member of their organization or pay for the reports, you'll have to gather bits and pieces from various places like media reports: From raw data I've seen, direct writers account for around 20% of the personal auto insurance market. However a significant % of premium written by Progressive & GEICO (the #3 and #4 largest personal auto insurers) are written though their agency force. Good luck in your search.

Is it "OK" to have each of my 5 computers connect separately to the internet or should it only be one.
Q. I have 5 computers connected to the internet with separate firewalls. 3 notebook computers and 2 desktops.

A. How are your five computers currently connected to the internet? Are their ethernet cables all connected to a switch, and then the switch to a modem? Or is your switch actually a router/firewall? Or is your router/firewall actually a combination router/firewall + modem? Thank you for the additional details. Short answer: If your situation is what I think it is, then your router is already acting like the "ONE computer" situation you are suggesting.

can i use internet connection sharing when the "base" computers internet source is wireless itself?
Q. as i have have stated i am trying to use my desktop as a "router" so that my laptop can connect through it using its internet connection. But the desktop does not get internet through a cable modem it gets it through a wireless connection is there any way i can have the desktop receiving internet while sharing its internet using a second wireless adapter?
Asked by Woody - Thu Apr 10 17:10:42 2008 - Computer Networking - 3 Answers - Comments
A. If you had a second wireless adapter you should be able to connect directly to the source and not have to share the internet. That is how I understand you to say you intend to connect them, through a second wireless connection. To literally share that connection I believe you would need to be physically networked to the other machine via Cat 5 or USB, something like that. If this isn't what you meant you might try looking at www.linksys.com for some ideas. Even if you don't have their products the site has some great networking advice and ideas. Good luck!

Can I use a splitter to "split" my ethernet internet connection, so two computers can use it at the same time?
Q. I have AT&T internet and it coming in via a ethernet cable, that I normally hook into my computer. I want to buy a splitter to place on that same ethernet cable, so that I can send the internet signal to another computer in my office. Is this possible?

Mac OS X Lion Users: How do you get the "volume control button" to show at top when using an internet browser?
Q. I recently upgraded to OS X Lion.

A. Little bumpy upgrade process, I suspect... The volume icon in the top menu bar should appear when you open System Preferences > Sound and then tick the option "Show volume in menu bar." The features of the function keys are supposed to be exactly as printed on the keys by default... Try if resetting the parameter RAM helps: Restart or start up the Mac and keep the keys Cmd-Option-P-R pressed until you hear the startup chime a second time. If this doesn't help, open System Preferences > Keyboard, then try if enabling and re-disabling the option "Use all F-keys... as standard function keys" helps.

What internet security setting needs to be changed in order to allow me to do this? I just get an error message when trying to post through my yahoo to facebook or when I try to post comments to blogs, nothing happens at all. I'm pretty certain it's my computer, as when I'm posting on other computers, I do not have a problem. Thanks!

A. If you have a wireless router in your house, just click on the Airport icon in the menu bar (looks like a radar dish) and turn it on. It will connect, and ask you for your password if your network is protected. If your house is hard wired, you just plug your Mac Book into your router, it will connect automatically. If you use dial up, you need to buy a modem for the Mac Book, it doesn't come with one.

How would an internet "kill switch" work? Is it even possible?
Q. Is an internet "kill switch" even possible? Since the internet is essentially a network of computers that communicate with each other, it has no location. I don't see how you can just shut down the internet. Can someone explain this. Edit: what about the US which has 100's if not 1000's of ISP companies across their nation independent of the government. How exactly would that work?

A. The internet as you say is a link multiple computers in multiple countries. However links to the other countries are normally in one central location (Telecity in the UK for example) if you were to cut this link, you would not kill the internet but you would stop the UK from accessing the rest of the world wide web, and stop anyone outside connecting to the UK. Also shutting down the world's DNS servers, would effectively shut down the internet for everyone bar those who know the IP's of the sites they want to access. As for a kill switch, I dont think it is possible

I'm changing computers. can I copy my "favorites" list of internet sites to the new computer somehow?
Q. I have several sites bookmarked and I want to put them in my new computer from the old one. Is there a way to do this without going to each site again to bookmark them?

A. Thar should be a file transfer wizard on your new computer click start and see if it's there or just search for it on you computer by using the search program... you will need a USB or some other type of cable unless the new computer is in your network
