Computers & Internet - 6 September 2006

At a time when pretty much anything can be patented - regardless of how ludicrous the concept, or even if there *appears* to be a case for prior art - can independant, small, or Open Source software developers hope to bring about the kinds of innovations that the Big Names fail to even recognise?

Bought new Sony Eric. It was only phone in shop apparently that I could fix USB cable to. So didnt really think about network or anything. When I got it home-had no signal, so heard you could get it unlocked and change network. Did that but same thing - bad signal OR theres something wrong with phone. Can I get it unlocked again and go to 3 which I always got a signal on? Could it be something wrong with phone, as when I call people I get nothing BUT sometimes if I put it on speaker it works? Can I still take it back once I've had it unlocked? Please help.

The command shows in the menu, but it doesn't activate the find window when selected. Ctrl-F has no effect either.

I am trying to build a computer. Still trying to chose between an AMD Athlon X2 5000 and an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600. The AMD runs at 2.6 Ghz with a 2000 Mhz FSB and only costs $325. The Intel runs at 2.4 Ghz with a 1066 Mhz FSB and costs $350. Which one is a better choice? I heard that the Intel takes less energy. Is that the only benefit? I don't need less power, I need more speed? Which one has more speed and reliability?

I have a 60 GB Western Digital Scorpio in my Dell Latitude C600. After a reformat and losing 20% of the data for my music website, now I'm getting BSODs off the charts and random reboots, programs exiting by itself constantly. Usually it's because of something with the ntfs.sys, pci.sys thing.


The diagnostic utility for WD drives always detects errors and bad sectors in the complete scan and chkdsk reveals more...now I may have to use the WD utility to zero my hard drive...but what exactly is zeroing a hard drive and will I be able to clean install Windows XP after writing zeros to the drive because now its getting ridiculous.
