  1. Re:Don't expect it to work on Cingular To Offer Mobile High-Speed Internet · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here's the info to make it work yourself!

    I had the same problem - I purchased a Nokia 3650 direct from Nokia (back in the days before Cingular started giving the 3650s away) so it obviously didn't come preconfigured for Cingular...thankfully I managed to get hold of a friendly 2nd level support bod who pointed me to this PDF.

    For those that can't be bother to click the link:
    Connection Name: Cingular

  2. Russian Napster... on Napster Canada Launched · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Forget Napster, iTunes, et al.

    The Russian equivalent to iTunes - allofmp3.com - is the way forward for all your music needs!!

    You pay 1 cent a megabyte so $10 gets you a gigabyte of mp3 download - and you can pay using Paypal in case you're worried about your Credit Card getting stolen by a shady Russkie...

    Cheap, cheerful and legal (at least in the eyes of Russian law) and they have a great selection (better than iTunes as it includes European chart music also).

  3. How does this differ from RH Update? on Examining Microsoft Update · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I use the Update Agent in RedHat almost on a daily basis - the RH Network knows absolutely everything about my setup (programs, modules, etc.) right down to what version of the Kernel I'm running - that way they can inform me of vulnerabilities and problems that I'm probably susceptible to as soon as there's an update available...it's a "good thing".

    Why is it that when Microsoft does this kind of thing, suddenly there's a more sinister motive behind it all?

    I don't hear anyone complaining about Redhat's privacy policies...

  4. Tom's Hardware has an excellent comparison on Behind the Numbers: LCD vs. CRT · · Score: 5, Informative

    This article over at Toms does an excellent job of describing the technical differences between CRT and LCD.

    He also has a recent roundup of the current LCD players and what to look for.

  5. $150 at the TheNerds.net on Hardware Review: Rio Receiver · · Score: 1

    You can get it for $150 at TheNerds.net and $158 from Gateway

    But I can't find it for $100 at any of my other Discount haunts...

  6. Increase the optout beyond thirty days... on Public Outcry Over Popup Ads · · Score: 2

    The link to "opt out" of their ads is as follows:

    http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=30&PAGE=htt p://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm

    Will altering the "DAY=30" part mean we can opt out for even longer? e.g.

    http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=500&PAGE=ht tp://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm

    I hope so. I'm getting dozens of these damn popup ads every day. To make matters worse I bought one of their wireless cameras over a year ago via a banner ad (one of the few times I've ever actually clicked on a banner) so am in part responsible for encouraging X10 in the first place. :o(

  7. Mistyped domains are forwarded to MS as well... on IE 5.5 Tracking Default Bookmarks · · Score: 1

    Has anyone else noticed that if you type in a non-existent domain into the Address box of IE that it contacts Mircosoft with the URL once it establishes that the address doesn't exist?

    I wonder if Microsoft are building a database of commonly misspelt and non-existent domains with a view to snapping up the most common ones?
