Comment on How do I set a proxy on my Android browser? by Owen

Of course it has a command line. It’s just a Linux distro after all. You get to the command line in one of 2 ways:

1. ADB (Android Debug Bridge) over a USB connection ( http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html )
2. Terminal Emulator running on the phone itself (example: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-android-term-jpAz.aspx)

Best fun I’ve ever had on a phone

You mean Android has a command line? If I’d have known that …
I think it’s looking more like Android for my next phone. Damn you, Google!

Comment on Can I use a wireless camera as a baby monitor? by Dan

It sounds like a good idea. We have an 3 month old baby, and I think I’d like to be able to see her as well as hear her. I would say, I think a sound-sensitive baby monitor is also critical. I wouldn’t want just video. At least you can hear the breathing. The baby may look peaceful, but not be breathing. Nice idea, but go for both (video and audio)!

Comment on How do I stop getting double notifications of SMS messages on my Android? by CJ

I’m using the new Droid 2.0 and I’m receiving the same double notification too. Tried your suggestion but I’m still getting the same thing. I have the white note in status bar that I have to remove manually no matter what.

I’ve noticed in mine, that it is ALWAYS one show behind! For instance, my friend and I did a new podcast #61 and Facebook JUST posted our last one we did (120 days ago) #60. Why isn’t it displaying our most recent one of #61?

Seems reasonable…and typically elegant for a Mac.

Thanks for the information!

My Mac source tell me that Mac’s use a combination of capacitor and rechargeable battery to run the CMOS clock. I’ve never taken one apart … but that’s from a reliable source.

Why won’t you see the same problem on a Mac? How do they power the CMOS?

Comment on How can I recover my Windows Vista password? by mark

I have downloaded Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 from http://sn.im/resetwindowspassword it not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password. I Wrote it to an old 128mb USB flash drive do this. Booting up and clearing a password takes a minute or two works like a charm.
