DoJa A.k.a DoCoMo Java.. it does not use the standard Java platform.. so it's harder to find games for it, I did get one Japanese game, it's like Tetris but a werid one at that.

Ah, I see. What service is that phone available for?

The phone is for AT&T however it's unlocked and can be used on any GSM service provider.

I should try using it as a modem as well.

I'm using no less than three spyware programs: Spybot, Ad-Aware, and Spywareblaster... :sweat:

There's a new one from Microsoft that's supposed to be very good and is currently in beta testing, called Anti-Spyware. You can download the beta from Microsoft and try it out... It requires IE6, though.

Yeah, and my problem is that I've been using those programs (Spybot added on only recently-2 weeks ago) however during the virus scans, an adware shows up that Norton wasn't able to delete.
So my question was on how to get rid of that piece of shit.

does Spybot still show that Stupid DSO exploit?

Perhaps however, I haven't noticed it.

I don't really pay attention to the details although I should.

I wonder if people still Use Adaware, after a big thing come came up about the people who make Spyware, paid Adaware to not detect the Spyware they made.

They "convinced" Adaware that they were not "spyware". :liar:

heh, we know what else that would lead to :shakehead:

question on printers/copier/scanner all in one...
saw one at Bestbuy, for $129.99
anyone know how well they scan?, versus just buying just a scanner 80-100$?

i know the resolution would be better with a scanner alone, than the all in one's,
48bit scan, i think that one had 600dpi.... what is considered good enough for scan quality?
your thoughts anyone?

I guess those all-in-ones are okay, but you compromise performance by having all those functions in one box, IMO.

What model is it?

If you're mainly scanning to put pics on the net (like me), I only scan at 150dpi... And all you really need is about 75dpi for the 'net. I think you'd only scan at a high resolution only if you plan to make rather large-sized print for framing or something... 48-bit is pretty much the norm, and it gives you the best color reproduction possible. :)

Yup, I agree. Having the Swiss army knife in an all-in-one is nice since you have multi functions in one device, but you sacrifice some. For the web, I'm sure it'll do a good job. And if you were looking for a copier and another printer, then hey it's all right there.

Probably.

True.

Hmm, if one of those functions breaks down somehow, will the other functions work? Actually, if the scanner dies, then the copier is out of commission as well and all you've got is a printer. :sweat:

^ Yup. But by that time, you're hopefully looking at the newer models. :sweat: (*Spoken like a person in the tech field*) :hehe:

Perhaps. More like "Keeping the Revenues/Profits So I Can Work Another Day." It's a sad reality. :bleh: :puppydog:

i am probably going to get a new printer eventually. With those new all in one printers, it is the Ink that will cost the most over time, all those colors and the black ink...
as far as scanning goes, 150dpi is enough, and i am not looking for a high end scanner anyways, a simple one will do, but i am not going to spend $80 or higher, i was hoping for half that, but i will keep looking.

I never cared for all in ones.. but im sure it's good for what you would want it for.

haha good news, now I finally got my Laptop set up so I can use my Phone to get on the internet, Some of these hotels I stay at want like $25 a night for internet.. or $25 for 24 hours worth.

only thing is I can connect at 115.2kbps However T-mobile is launching EDGE in some markets so I wonder what the speed is like then.
