I love my 3G. Did you have one of the older iPhones? I want to know how good the new camera is compared to the older modeled phones, i.e the original and the 3G.

Awesome

Well I'm heading out, see you guys later.

My only gripe with the iPhone is that you're stuck using Safari. Unless something's changed, I don't think there's a version of Firefox for iPhones.

iFox....

Safari on the iPhone isn't all that bad. I'm just mad that Apple hasn't allowed any Flash capabilities for the darn thing.

Man- All this techology talk... on the other side ...
There were two high school geeks that were friends that ran into each other. The first one said " Check it out, I found this like old timey gold watch. It's called a Rolex and it has numbers and hands." The second one said, " Speaking of time- what time is it?" The first one rolled his wrist over and stuck the watch up to the second ones face. "Dude- there it is!" The second one looked at the watch and said, " Bitchin'... it sure is."
On a more serious note- anybody seen the car of the future- "the skateboard?" That's some wild stuff. It will be here before we know it , too.

If you take the phone to Russia or eastern Europe (possibly even western Europe) you should
be able to purchase SIM cards at many kiosks on the street.

ok, tell me what to get and how to swap it Josh.

I can do it with instructions, but I have no natural computer skills like I do with cars/trucks.

BTW, I dislike the 3G camera.

Step 1, Open Computer.


Step 2, Unpack Soundcard. (this is an old one I had laying around the room)


Step 3, Install into PCI slot as show, you can't go wrong here


Next, close it up, start up, and install any drivers provided.






Btw, no matter what I do, I can't get the darn wire mess taken care of :/
Before...


After

That's one big heatsink....what you runnin?

I managed to get a 24-bit SB Live! Value card (I think it's the Value one) out of a computer I was given along with a load of other used computers. I was running a Sound Blaster PCI128 (read: Ensoniq AudioPCI) before. WHAT AN UPGRADE! Audio quality improved drastically with the "new" card. Has 4.1 (or 5.1, not sure) capabilities too.

I'm gonna have to pick up some sort of PCI video card at some point so I can disable the onboard video and get some better video performance. In Windows AND Linux.

Oh and btw Ctubutis, do you know how to set things up where a computer running Windows and Linux will use Ntldr instead of GRUB?
