Theres an Mp3 player going for 50$ canadian at walmart, it is a Diamond Vision or something, it says it has 2gb flash memory. Is this worth it? Is there anything bad about Flash memory on a mp3 player
It's a big sale today at walmart, I'm just wondering if the sound quality and everything would be any good.
You need to Google for reviews of the specific model. Flash memory has nothing to do with audio quality, it's the type of device the music is stored on (flash memory is good, it won't skip and will last longer than the alternative, which is a hard drive.) Pesapluvo 13:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
In myTunes redux (NOT Itunes), I am purportedly able to download the songs, but then cannot move them to my Itunes. Help?
Where is the area code (required in order to set up the modem for Microsoft dialup connection) stored in the registry? Adaptron 04:15, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Locations
. Within that key, it appears there are 0 to N keys representing each of the locations. If you set up just one location, the key will be Location1
. The area code itself is in a String value titled, appropriately, AreaCode
within the location key. So, in my example, the full path to the area code is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Locations\Location1\AreaCode

..in the BIOS configurator I read Chassis Fan: N/A and.. when I shut down, sometimes the PC switches to stand-by instead!! The CPU fan works and the MOBO thermosensors don't throw any 'exception'.. It's an Athlon XP 2000 on an Asus A7N266-VM. Incredibly, sometimes when I restart the PC the fan is reborn! Other times, when I switch to Stand-by, the power LED doesn't blink as usual but it remains steadily lit and I hear a strange buzz.. Besides..my hd free space has suddenly decreased in a few days with no explicaion.. it's the virtual mem. swap? does exist a virus which cause sudden lack of space on a HD? Pre-thanks! -- Ulisse0 13:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
What is the difference between the Internet Business and the e-business?
I'm looking to understand this Bash quote. The gibberish seems like either it would be Qwerty letter positions on a Dvorak keyboard, or Dvorak letter positions on a Qwerty keyboard, but I'm not sure either way. There were some things when I searched on Google but they're to help people who learnt to use Dvorak type in Qwerty... I think. Either that or I wasn't understadning how to use them. Can anybody help? Vitriol 17:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
I feel a little guilty asking such a banal question, but I've only just recently upgraded to Windows XP and now that I've installed a Firefox theme it's drawn attention to how ugly my OS is looking.
I'd rather look beyond Microsoft's homegrown ones, but a site I found in Google wanted to install lots of adware along with the themes.
Anyone know of a nice, charitable, hassle free site of gorgeous visuals? Any help much appreciated. -- bodnotbod 19:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Is it possible to turn off uploading in BitTorrent and keep downloading, in order to stay within Canadian copyright law? Neon Merlin 22:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Try setting your max upload to 0kb/s. It'll download quite a bit slower but it works. Hope I don't see you on any torrents I'm downloading. -- froth T C 02:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Is there a simple set of parameters I can pass to openssl to add/remove passwords from private keys? I'd like to copy all my keypairs (with empty passphrases) on a keychain USB drive and have them password protected while they're there. Then if I need them, I can copy them back to the original server and remove the passphrase for convenience. Thanks. -- Silvaran 23:30, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
