article: Once you're on a date with a stranger, take the time to learn about who they are. Don't decide you want to be in a relationship with someone without knowing what they do for a living, where they're from, or who they live with--you should know basic facts about their life first. When you've just met someone, not talking to them for a few days can make them think you've lost interest. You should text, call, or meet up with them at least two or three times a week. You don't have to have long, personal conversations every time you talk. Just sending a funny picture or asking how their day was can show them you're still interested. Don't just keep going out for dinner over and over again. Go on a variety of dates to get an idea of what this person likes and how they act under different circumstances. Avoid places that make conversation difficult, like loud concerts or movies. Hiking, playing board games, and trying a new kind of food together are all great date ideas for people who are getting to know each other. Make sure you ask what they would like to do! Relationship histories can tell you a lot about a person. If they have had several long-term, stable relationships, that's a good sign. If they have never dated anyone seriously, have a history of tumultuous relationships, or are still involved with another person, you may want to wait before trying to start a relationship. Don't interrogate someone about their past. Bring up your own past first and keep the conversation casual, but pay attention to their reaction. If they join in, then they may be interested in talking about it. Getting to know someone requires a lot of listening. Show them you care about what they're saying by maintaining eye contact, asking follow-up questions, and referencing what they've told you in your own conversation later. For example, if they said that they wanted to be an artist when they were a kid, offer to take them to an art museum on your next date. Not every date will become a long-term relationship. Make sure that the person you're interested in has enough in common to maintain a partnership. You don't have to like the same movies or desserts, but it's much easier to have a successful relationship if you have similar attitudes and lifestyles. When you've just met someone, everything about them can seem amazing. However, rushing into a relationship with a stranger can leave you with a partner who disrespects or even abuses you. Before you make a long-term commitment, check for warning signs of abuse and other unhealthy relationship behaviors. If you caught them lying, felt unsafe around them, noticed them being rude or abusive to someone else, or had them get angry at you over a minor issue, don't see them again! Coming on too strong is also a major red flag. Be very wary of someone you just met who immediately pushes you to form a relationship, declares their love for you, or contacts you constantly.

article: Whether you're male or female, long hair is the norm. This is mainly because you're not going to bother getting it cut! It should be clean (you still bathe!), but it doesn't have to be anything beyond that. "Artfully disheveled" is a definite look you could pull off as a hippie. Whatever comes natural to your follicles is how you should rock your mop. Men -- grow out your facial hair, too. Wear your headband horizontally over your forehead, not vertically over your hair, and accessorize it with a flower (a daisy is classic). If you want a feather in your hair more permanently or just don't like the idea of killing a flower in order to festoon your hair look for a flower clip that you can put in your hair along with your headband. If you can't find a headband, make your own with string. Try to find a stretchy fabric for your string; cotton or other, inelastic string will begin to hurt and may leave a mark on your forehead if worn for a long time. Leave your hair long, loose, and low-maintenance. Don't put any chemicals in it. The less you style it, the better. If you're a man, leave your facial hair scruffy and unkempt. If you do need to tie your hair up, put it in a low ponytail, two low ponytails, or a braid. Getting dreadlocks is notoriously difficult, but they're definitely worth it if you think that you can pull them off. They're a labor of love. They're a semi-permanent labor of love, so make sure you're committed before you take the leap. For women, go practically bare. A bit of black kohl outlining your eyes is okay, but not much more than that. Stay away from lipstick and any outrageous, obvious coloring. You're a child of the earth, after all.

Write an article based on this "Launch the command prompt. Search for the command prompt. Set ping syntax. Set a URL. Set a test packet size. Send the ping. Read the diagnosis. Reduce the MTU value. Resend the ping. Increase MTU value. Resend the ping. Add 28 to the MTU value."

From your desktop, click on "Start" to launch your Programs menu. Click "Run" and type in "incommand" (for Windows 95, 98, and ME) or "INCMD" (for Windows NT, 2000, and XP), without the quotation marks. This will call the command prompt by launching a black window. If your Windows operating system is newer or doesn't have the Run option from step 1, you can find the command prompt by navigating through the Programs menu. Click on "Start," then "All Programs." Look for the Accessories folder and open it. Click on "Command Prompt." This will call the command prompt by launching a black window. You can skip this step if you've already found the command prompt from step 1. In the command prompt window, type the following syntax: ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]. There's a space in between each command. This is quite technical, but just follow the syntax. The next few steps will explain the parameters of the syntax. In the syntax from step 3, after the command "ping," type in a URL or website address you commonly use. This is the website the command will send a ping to. For example, use www.yahoo.com or www.google.com. In the syntax from step 3, the last parameter states "MTU value." This pertains to the test packet size in bytes that would be sent together in your ping. It's a four-digit number. Try to start with 1500. If you use Yahoo's website, the syntax would be as follows: ping www.yahoo.com f l 1500 Press "Enter" on your keyboard to send the ping. After the ping, the results will be shown on the command prompt. If the results display "Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set," this means the packet size isn't optimal yet. Proceed to step 8. Reduce the packet size by 10 or 12 bytes. You're trying to figure out the correct packet size that won't need fragmentation. Repeat step 6 using the adjusted or reduced MTU value. Repeat steps 6 to 9 until you don't see a message saying that the packet still needs to be fragmented. Once you don't see the message anymore, proceed to step 10. Once you have a packet size or MTU value that doesn't fragment, increase this value in small increments. Try increments of 2 or 4 bytes. Send another ping using the adjusted or increased MTU value. Repeat steps 10 to 11 until you determine the largest packet size that won't be fragmented. Take the maximum packet size you got from the ping tests and add 28 to it. These 28 bytes are reserved for the header data. The resulting value is your optimal MTU setting.
