Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. Cingular and T-Mobile are GSM. Most popular phones come in either flavor.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Any thoughts?
I would've said power supply. Is it possible it's a problem with the outlet? Some of the outlets in my house are on circuits that also have GFI's installed. Should one of the GFI's trip, I tend to lose things I wouldn't normally expect to lose.
Yes, phone as modem. I must have been dazzled by Samsung phone lust.
any thoughts?
DH said : bios battery( once he realized you unplugged the cable modem so you couldn't hbve gotten a spike throught the ethernet cable. )
Is it possible it's a problem with the outlet?
The outlet is fine.
bios battery
Can that be replaced easily? Guess I should check the MB manual...
Is there ever more than one battery on a motherboard? I see a 3/4" round 3V battery, but want to make sure I remove and test the right thing.
Usually there's just the one, and that's the one.
Can anyone elaborate on why Ubuntu seems to be the Linux distro of choice for 'ffistas?

It's sort of the linux distro of choice for most everybody these days, from what I can tell. The internet waves I'm getting imply that it's the new sex - I'm guessing because it has a good balance of ease-of-use and customizibility/power.
(disclaimer: These are just impressions. I've never used Ubuntu. When I ran Linux, it did not exist. Also, I scoffed at ease-of-use: slackware and gentoo were my distos of choice, for I was a true computer-geek-manly-man.)
I got a replacement battery for my MB from Radio Shack. Before I try to boot it up, what should I expect? I assume some stuff will need to be reset like the clock? Anything else?
