    iPhone 3G 3.0 non-software SIM unlock?

    Hey, guys, I'll be going to France in about a week and am wondering if anyone knows a MECHANICAL unlock out there so I can use a different SIM card. I'm trying to avoid software unlocks if at all possible because I'd rather not take the risk of bricking my phone. I recall that for version 2...

    Tablet PC Pen Tips

    Anyone know where to buy these things? I have a Toshiba Portégé R400 model and when I called Toshiba, they told me I had to buy a new pen in order to get more tips. I said, fine and asked them the price. $65. My jaw hit the floor. For a PLASTIC pen with semi-magnetic tips?! They had to be...

    Need a new router, want to use dd-wrt

    Is there a reason for the extra random switch? Why not just buy an all-in-one wireless router that has gigabit speeds?

    New Member needs advice on a system...

    For the games today, I'd consider getting a little more RAM. If Blu-ray is important to you, you might as well get that instead of a second DVD drive. Otherwise, looks good.

    Network keeps breaking on restart...

    The easiest solution is to plug your cable modem into port 1 (or port 0, uplink port, etc). Your cable modem, unless it's reallyyyy old, probably will assign at least several IP addresses, meaning you can plug your network clients (your Media Centre PC and regular PC) into your switch. Of...

    Problems using Windows File Sharing over cable modem

    Hey, guys, Recently I switched from DSL to cable, mostly on account that I was paying for a phone line I wasn't using, which added up to $25 extra per month plus taxes. One anomaly I seem to be experiencing is that I can no longer access my file share at my university over my cable...

    HTML problem with link colouring

    This is more than likely REALLY easy to fix, but... At the bottom of this site: http://www.aisu.student.virginia.edu/, you see the UVa logo outlined in blue. This is because of the CSS style. Anyone have anyway they know of to override the <a> style just in the footer or for that one line? If...

    KVM Switch for widescreen DVI montior

    Do I need a special KVM switch in order to have a widescreen aspect ratio for a DVI widescreen monitor? Or can I get a standard KVM switch with a DVI port? Any recommendations for one that has USB ports (for a keyboard and mouse) and DVI in/out ports?

    Xbox 360+ Windows Media Connect

    I had the same problem for awhile, except I couldn't get it working until a week ago or so. Turns out there's a whole MESS of ports to unblock. The website (Xbox.com) only mentions one or two, but there are more. The complete site is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910635 Hope that...

    Problems connecting to various websites

    It's been a few days after Adelphia's repaired our line and I got a new router (due to a power surge,) but now I appear to have difficulty from accessing a few sites, namely Google and the University of Virginia websites. I can get to any other site on the Internet, like Facebook and such, but...

    WMP Video problems

    Seems that whenever I use WMP to view a video of any type, the color is all off, kinda like the gamma setting is set way off the scale. All other stuff on my screen looks okay, it's just the video. Any recommendations?
