While there is plenty of violence, action, and drama...the theme is the same...draw him out of retirement and he goes off on killing many people throughout the movie...not a suspenseful plot or kind of movie I want to watch more than once.

While it was a good movie, it was very clear in the end that they were just setting us up for the next round of X-people. Lots of action, and plot was ok. Tough to watch the last of the X-men pass on...but then it looks like the next gen will be evolving a new story line and new characters with new and old skills...

Well played and definitely makes you think about some of any Christians learning. Theories that are plausible, yet they do not follow the techings that have been passed down for generations.

This was definitely a battle of an unknown against a money machine, the NFL. Kind of a documentary while showing the persistence and going against the grain to help determine the cause of head to head contact.

You knew it was going to be funny with the cast, but the Rock was out of his normal character and it was very different. You start to stereotype as they play the same roles in many movies and this one was quite different and had us lauhing often.

Where can you buy a bracket to install into your computer for this hard drive?

Best Buy as well as several other electronic stores make 2.5" to 3.5" adapters for these drives to go into a desktop. If you are replacing in a laptop, then you just remove the brackets/hardware from your existing drive and put it on this drive.

My desktop has a 1 TB hard drive that is about 800 gigs full. Can I just clone the OS and the apps leaving the data in my hdd?

Cloning is typically a direct copy of 1 drive to another. When you clone from a larger drive to a smaller drive, the first thing is that the larger drive must have less overall data on it than the capacity of the smaller drive to start. If you can move enough data off of the larger drive to get below the 500 GB's of this drive, then a clone is possible. Not all cloning software is the same, some will not clone from a larger drive to a smaller one, and as such, you will have to find the right one for this situation.

Im more or less trying to figure out the distance (range) the wireless capability is under 2.4g signal. I have pretty big house and i am contemplating on running an access point on the other side but dont want to be too close to interfere signals.

On the android tablets and phones there is a net analyzer app that is free and it will show you the strength of your signal as you move around in your house. Centrally locating a router can help cover the entire house, but so can a better router. If youare contemplating a router and an ap, spend all of that on a better router or look at a mesh wifi setup like an Orbi.

can you name both bands 2.4 and 5 the same name and password. What happens when devices such as a smart TV hooks up to this? Which band will it use? Will this cause any problems?

Both of the wifi ssid's can be named the same as weel as having the same password. This allows your device to choose how it wants to connect to your router. The 5 ghz wifi will be used when you are close and the 2.4 ghz signal will reach to the corners of your house.
