    Check the batteries in your remotes and other devices

    For you digital camera, new NiMH batteries are out that are low self discharge like Sanyo Eneloop. They keep 85% of the charge even after a year: http://www.eneloop.ca/ I use them in my camera and they are great - grab and go. As for remotes, I use alkaline batteries too because they last just...

    no DSL in my area... any luck with WiMAX?

    I don't think there's a wimax usb stick yet here. With Bell, it's probably a EVDO stick which is realatively slow (400kbps - 800 kbps). The Rogers USB stick is faster than Bell (2-3 Mbps), but Rogers doesn't have as much rural coverage: Rogers HSPDA coverage...

    Dtv

    They sell "over the air" ATSC tuners in those FTA/electronics stores on Matheson, just west of Dixie for about $70. It seems a little pricey. I'm sure I saw them in the US for $25

    TV Inputs For a Wii?

    Yes, The Source is really overpriced. That switch is like $7 at those cheap electronics stores. Try Sayal or RTC Electronics if you are in Mississauga.

    If my PC has a DVD Burner....

    Also, check the disks that came with your PC or DVD burner. Chances are that your DVD burner came with a free OEM version of Nero (or it might be already installed by your PC manufacturer Install Nero and then DVD Shrink. Using DVD Shrink, you can either chop your big file into two single layer...

    My Problem With GM

    I think this is the main problem with GM. It's not that the cars are built crappy, it's the attitude/arrogance of the management. Why should we bail them out when they seem to go out of their way to bite the hands that feed them?

    Converting Your LPs & Cassettes To Digital

    I would just download them via P2P. It's a lot faster Audacity is great for editing as well (cutting out pops). Connect your record player into your stereo amp and then the line out of the amp to your sound card, just as you would have connected a tape deck in the old days. As an...

    Bev is Dead

    Not all the transponders on 110 and 119 are used for DN. (The others are used by DirecTV so they won't label up properly on a FTA) The default transponder in the Viewsat sometimes isn't an active one. You might have to manually pick an active transponder to do the dish pointing. Once the dish...

    Illegal DVD's At Pacific Mall

    Yes, they usually have 2 versions of the same movie: DVD5 (single layer) and DVD9 (dual layer). I don't buy DVD5 but 10 for $20 seems to ring a bell. I usually look for DVD9 versions that are pressed (i.e. production quality). I think most DVD5 versions are ripped and burned This is an example...

    Illegal DVD's At Pacific Mall

    Yes, although it's $5 a piece or 6 for $25 These are production quality pressed DVD9 with embossed cardboard inserts and sleeves. All that's missing is the plastic case. It's virtually indistinguishable from regular production and can will be at Pacific Mall as much as 6 months before they are...

    Your modem- Can it "trap" surfing sites?

    While not related to police/snoopers, some ISPs do reroute your web requests from the internet to their own "acceleration/caching" servers. It's done to reduce traffic and bandwidth (costs). For example, suppose 10 people ask for the same web page. Our request is sent to the a caching server...

    Unlocking the World Phone

    The GSM portion won't work in NA. We use 850 and 1900 MHz GSM. Overseas uses 900 and 1800 Mhz GSM. Quad band GSM phones have all 4 bands and can be used anywhere. The Bell version only has the 900 and 1800 GSM bands so it will only work overseas. You are suppose to use CDMA in NA Any BB...

    Unlocking the World Phone

    I believe if you check around, these phones are unlocked and a local SIM can be inserted for voice, however the blackberry data functions will not work. The blackberry functions will only work with the SIM that Bell Canada gives you ($$$$). BTW, the GSM functions will not work in North America...

    Internet Provider for Business
