Well you could "tether" (that's also the app's name IIRC) it, possibly. But I think the service providers have protected themselves against it. Tether is the function, BDM creates the tether, but it still uses internet and not BIS as tether dials the *99# number for dialing the connection...

I've searched for ramdrive utilities but I can't find anything that supports a 64-bit OS. I guess this is because 64-bit is pass the 4gb limit. 32-bit OS ramdrive utilities are plentiful though. There you can throw everything over 4gb to a ramdrive. My young friend, you need to enhance your google ...

Plug it in, desktop software will do the rest. I would suggest getting a data bunle else you will pay the R2 per mb. Its physically imposible and against the terms and conditions to use BIS in any way other than for on device browsing. The moment you dial up from the pc the handset itself bypasses B...

Well... - no page file - no indexing - no superfetch - defrag disabled by default thats pretty much it. Nothing more needs to be done imo. Actually one more thing you can do is setup a ram drive, if you have enough, many feee apps available to do it. Normally 1gb should be fine, once setup you make...

1. Have you tried different speed settings at which you write? What does your writable media support? 2. Have you tried using another media brand, like Verbatim? 3. Does the writing process require an image file to be created on a hard drive? 4. Does this happen for standard data, movies, mp3s, aud...

i see you deduced the fact that trying a different os such as ubuntu worked,but have you perhaps tried to download the firmware of the dvd writer? check at the bottom with the label of the manaufaturer and it gives the model number and used that number to download the firmware which will work coz i...

Try standing barefoot in a bucket of ice water while drinking chunky sour milk through a straw and dancing the Macarena to Justin Bieber Music without moving your feet. FTFY @OP: What do you mean by "Resetting the drive?" Best term i could think of, it will write one dvd and then stop, to...

That sounds like a completely logical approach.

Really odd problem, my writer will only burn 1 dvd before i have to either swap its port or uninstall and re-install it which essentially boils down tot he same thing. Happened like 2 months ago and i just assumed it was the drive, being old and having already started being a bit fussy, 2 days ago i...

Now can someone tell me, if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear, does it still make a sound???

OK. I officially hate Internet Explorer. Here's my problem. I'm trying to use a transparent image on a slightly dark background. Unfortunately, said image has anti-aliasing. You can save it as a GIF, but GIF only lets one colour be the transparency, so the lighter bits end up looking hideous on a d...

I have never used Jquery until about 2 days ago, started for a new design company and told them before had i have no idea how to use it but they still assigned me the last of fixing up the last guys code. What we have now is a gallery of sorts with a number of images and a left/right control button,...

Is turbo core suppose to be the overclock feature for AMD? Yes it's the equivalent of Intel's Turbo Boost. @Cranial. I would not worry too much about Turbo Core. TC is so sporadic in the sense that it only makes a slight difference to apps and games that does not utilize the CPU that much. So why n...

Just so you know that online calculator is extremely inaccurate. A friend has an odin which shows you current and peak usage in its lil software app with his config the online thing said he needed 393w of his 800w PSU, according to his PSU he's peek usage wat at 603w, personally for my money that is...

I bought the 1075T with the MSI board int he title and am as of yet unable to sucessfully enable Turbo Core. I was told the correct way was to disable Cool n Quiet and Enable Turbo Core, this prevents my system from posting, and i have to reset the BIOS to get back in. Same result if CnC is on. No m...

You can change the wallpaper hey. LOL

I myself hate changing themes on my BB as it resets my whole layout, but this 1 i thought was worth it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6374897/munch_2010_11_16_185057.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6374897/munch_2010_11_16_185215.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6374897/munch_2010_11_16_185310.jpg Its the OS6 Look...

I mailed them regarding this. Still waiting for a reply. This is really frustrating as my download keeps on failing. Anybody now of another site I can download the updates from? I did some tracing on the IP , NFS is using the Akamai mirror network, think i spelt that rite, anyway, mweb has no contr...

Hey guys, i am seeking some help from the community, mweb need a new mail bomb. It would be nice if as many clients can complain, but this only actually affects NFS World players, as far as i know at least. All the NFS Players on mweb i know of have the same problem so i assume you guys playing will...

A friend and i do a lot of webwork together and as we live on opposite ends of a town we spend numerous hours in VOIP chats, until recently skype has been extremely reliable, but with recent connectivity problems i started looking for alternates, as we both bank with FNB jumping onto their connect s...

Thanks to virgin mobile, my mother after 30 impeccable years has a tarnished credit record. Aprox. 10 months ago, against my recommendation, my mother signed a contract with virgin mobile. The very same day 1 of the hundreds of idiots in that company processed a buy out request on the same contract,...

IcePick88 are you stoned off your balls or something? The most important part of a CPU is the cores ergo the temps of said cores are what you need to worry about. I suspect you have never killed a CPU before? I have. tested temp tolerances on an E8600. at 4.8ghz running P95 it was alive till 110deg...

Check your heatsink is on properly and definately hook it up with some decent thermal compound. Beyond that, it's entirely possible you have a faulty sensor on your board or processor. My Q9300 is like that. I just set the sink on this evening, i know its on properly and i use Zalman STG1. I just r...

http://uploads.co.za/files/olal0kr195qnnt881i2q.jpg This is something that really confuses me, i have tried google but as i am not sure exactly what to search for i have not yet found an actual answer. What temperature do i need to actually worry about, the temp in the BIOS matches that of the &quo...

I currently have a Win7 machine running as a media server/MCE machine with my Huappage remote control. Getting bored and was looking at moving over to linux just to mess around, its also my download PC and on 24/7. I did some checking around and it looks like its possible to have full green button s...
