I porter my number the first day you were allowed to a few years ago and it was done in 24 hours.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Grr. Can't work out if I should settle for a DVI-VGA adapter for the cheap Linux box, or if I want to not make it that cheap a box and upgrade the card.
What I really really want is a second flatscreen monitor, either to be the monitor for that one (DVI switch boxes are too expensive) or a dual for my primary machine.
If when I go into Display Settings it shows me a greyed out secondary monitor, does it mean my card's capable? I only have the one DVI port on the back. Or does XP just do that now?
eta: wait-if my LCD monitor has a DVI and a d-sub port, does that mean I can connect two computers to it and switch back and forth using the input selector on the monitor? I'd lose out on using audio from the secondary machine, but that's no biggie. Of course I need to track down a d-sub cable, but still...

Mostly lurking...
Is there some freeware that can break audio files into pieces? Or, could someone suggest one to buy that's not terribly expensive. I need this for my senior thesis/oral history project.

The last time I ported my cell #, it was done before I left the store. I was very impressed!

Okay, I have a possibly stupid question. How do I get pictures & videos off my Treo and onto my Mac?
I have Missing Sync & a USB connection. Some of the pics are on the SD memory card.
[eta: Okay, figured out how to do it with Bluetooth. So slow!]

Audacity is free and does all that and more. [link]

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I second Audacity.

Glargh.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 on my new PC. It gets not that far and then I see:
Out of Range
Horizontal Frequency: 81.4 KHz
Vertical Frequency: 65.0 KHz
This is a monitor (Viewsonic VX2000) error, not a computer one.
I installed Ubuntu server without a hitch, but wanted to use Desktop for right now.
But the message pops up and even the buttons on my monitor stop working, so I can't switch over to digital to show my main PC's images.
Anyone have any idea how to work around it?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Well, it is a software issue, as the server works. The resolution on the desktop mode is set outside of the parameters the monitor accepts.
I do not know ubuntu, so I found this from a ubuntu forum:
I think your xorg.conf is messed up. To reconfigure it, start up in normal mode when you get to the black screen, press CTRL + ALT + F1 to get into a login shell. Input your user/pass and press enter, you'll then get an input terminal, type this into there. :sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and go through the options.
Once done, type:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
If that one fails, you could try :
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -foninteractive xserver-xorg
Which will try to set it up automatically by detecting the values from your hardware.
Then do the sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop/start thing again.
