    Moving a SIM card from E71x to an iPhone 3G

    I just got an iPhone 3G for free as a hand-me-down and I'm already on an AT&T family plan with a Nokia E71x that has a data plan attached. Will AT&T bust my door down if I move the sim card to the iPhone? It seems to work, it has a 3G signal, just wondering what the consequences are. (I'm...

    Problems logging on to wifi networks w/ landing pages

    I just got a Nokia E71x. My college campus uses a landing page to input our login usernames/passwords. On a laptop, when you open your browser you are directed to this page. However, on my phone, I am not directed to this page so I can't login. Anyone know what I can do about this?

    Best way to quiet fan vibration?

    I just bought a Scythe S-FLEX (1600 rpm version) for the front intake on my Lian Li PC-7B. However there seems to be a buzzing noise that is the same as the old, OEM fan so I believe it is the interaction between the fan and the case causing the noise. What can I use to quiet it down? Do...

    My PC-7B Plus II didn't come with a front filter

    I know these are standard on this case, so what gives? Instead of the filter box assembly it came with a normal mesh grill. Anyone run into this before?

    Xbox 360 and Dell 1905FP

    I got the HD-VGA cable from MS to hook a 360 up to my dell 1905. The picture isn't that good to me, however. Mainly text is pretty blurry on the edges. Anyone else have a setup similar to mine and getting better results? On top of that, I'm trying to input the sound into my Dell E1705 laptop...

    NTVDM.exe using too much CPU%

    I have a program that simulates an aviation GPS unit using Microsoft Flightsim 2004 and since it's a 16 bit program it uses the virtual machine thing. But the problem is NTVDM.exe uses like 50-60% of my processor power which is really killing FPS in FS2004. Has anyone seen this before? Dell...

    Flight Simulator X on Xbox360?

    I'm a big into using FS and modding it so I can use it for my real world flight training, so I'm wondering if anyone "in the know" can confirm whether or not the next version of Flight Simulator will be on Xbox360? This would be pretty disapointing to me because you can buy add-on aircraft...

    Cell phone interference and subwoofers

    Has anyone else experienced this? Whenever I get a call, or make one, on my cell phone near my roommate's computer speakers the subwoofer starts making loud buzzing noises. It's not just when making calls either, just putting the phone near the woofer makes the noise. Sometimes the subwoofer...

    Nobody wants trackballs?

    I've been a die hard user of trackballs for years now. I find them better than mice for almost anything I use them for, especially gaming. But I wish somone would come out with a little more technological innovation in these things. Microsoft, Logitech, Kensington all make trackballs but I...

    Anyone here use a trackball for games?

    It seems like whenever I mention I use a trackball in FPSs I get responses like "trackballs suck" etc. Yet I find them so much easier to use than regular mice.
