Once you've unlocked a cell phone, is it unlocked forever? Or do you have to unlock it every time a new SIM card is used with it?

I bought a stand-alone DVD recorder that works like a VCR. It records to both DVD-R and DVD+R discs, but I am not sure which type to buy. What is the difference?

How do you transfer a video made using ‘Movie Maker’ to a DVD so that the video can be viewed from a DVD player?

I have made a video on the program called ‘Mover Make’ and want to transfer it on to a DVD so that I can watch it on the big TV on my DVD Player.

Please can you tell me how I could do this, THANKS.

I'm buying a phone. What do you think is the best phone according to my specifications and your research?

I want a small phone, a high memory (possibly supports 2GB microSD), can play mp3s (I listen to mp3s the whole day), has an internal digital camera, capable of WAP, has Bluetooth, has a greater than average talktime, has USB support and a price ranging from $100-$300.

I have been researching GPS systems now for about a week or so and I have changed my mind a dozen times from TomTom One XL to Megellan Roadmate 3000T or 2000, and to Megellan Maestro 4050.... Im just not sure what I want. Here is what I want it to do for me:

*directions to places (of course).
*lotts of POI's (points of interest)---I wanna drive down a HWY, press a button and get tourist attractions in the nearby area.
*good satalite service (ive heard there are two--I want the best)
*easy to use
*pluggable into a cigaret lighter spot for power & charge
*large viewable screen (4inch +)
*touch screen
*under $500.00 in cost.

Can you help me figure out what would be best for what I want?

Went to buy a DLP TV, surround sound, and tv stand. Got the worst customer service I've ever seen. It started by being ignored for 45 minutes while I stood in front of the big screen DLPs. I left and bought somewhere else.

I came back 4 hours later to buy a surround sound system (I had a $40 coupon is why I came back). Found the system I wanted, waited about 20 minutes and no one would help. I happened to see two of the system's I wanted setting in their box on the floor with a sign that had a reduced price. Loaded up the SS and tried to pay. Of course it rang up different than what the sign had listed. They're so called customer service said the reduced price was for open box and that mine was not open box. I asked then why was it on the floor with a sign. No answer. I finally got a manager and explained the situation (about being ignored the first time and the problem with the price). He didn't even seem to care! Want to report him and his sorry store.

I wanted to build a computer system that would handle the most demanding games, graphics and animation software around. I have been out of touch with new development in the computer field and was told that core 2 duo processors are almost twcie as fast as normal processors. Does that mean that , for instance, a 2.3 GHZ Core2 Duo processor is faster than a 3 GHZ processors that isn't core 2?(older types)?

Also please tell me if this system would handle demanding graphics and animation programs and games:
Core2Duo 2.3 GHZ CPU (bus 1333, 4 MB cash) - Gegabyte P35 Motherboard with built in Sound- 3GB DDR2 Ram (Bus 800) - Nvidia 8500 GT Display Card (with 512 mb DDr2 acual memory) - 2X500 GB Seagate Hard Drives - 18X DVD RW Drive - 480 Watt 12V ATX 2.1 Power Supply - 500Kev UPS .
Does any item of this configuration need to be enhanced or replaced? or Is it good enough? or maybe too good and one some of its constituents couldbe replaced with cheaper units and still work? Thanks .

I have comcast. And if you know about comcast there is a box that they hook up 2 ur tv and that is where you turn ur cable on and off. It has red and yellow lights on it. Yesterday I moved it from under my tv 2 on the side. In order to do that the cords had to be unpluged. Right away it cable was fine but later on in the day it got really choppy. The picture was blurry and the words was choppy. I checked the other tvs in my house and they are ok. So i am assuming that this has to do with what I did. I tired adjusting the cables again and yes i did put them back in the right places.

Did i do this when i moved the box?

How can I fix it?

So if I got unlimited texting, I could instant message people all day if I wanted? That's what I might do, since I'm kinda phone shy, but like to communicate with friends over the internet. I got my LG Chocolate mainly because I could listen to music on it, but then I could call my mom or bro or whoever if I needed to. It's working out pretty good like that, but it'd be nice to ride my bike and listen to music and IM people at the same time.
