Thank you for this! Very helpful. It worked great for AT&T. However, for Verizon, I couldn't find the settings they were talking about. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not a Verizon mobile customer (only Internet),

Many devices nowadays won't work unless they can contact the manufacturer's server. For example, you can buy wifi-enabled SD cards for your digital camera. Unfortunately, you can't transfer files directly from the camera to t

In my opinion it's way worse than that. I was a middle class suburban white kid and it was not an everyday scenario to figure out when 2 trains were going to pass. While I do recall hearing a train somewhere in my hometown, I don'

Can an Android user explain what this means to me? Why does storing log files on an external storage device require access to photos? That makes no sense to a user.

If they're collecting all the calls to and from our phones, can they please start doing something about the dozens of spoofed calls I get each week trying to sell me scam services? Please?

Yeah, I was thinking that, too. And it's not just any forum, either. It's the notorious Yahoo Answers where people regularly troll each other as both question askers and answerers. See, for example: http://memebase.chee

That makes a little more sense (that you can go to the bank to physically get more cash). It is disturbing that others are saying that most banks don't have cash and that they can deny you for basically no reason. That's very odd

No doubt! Say what you want about how much the Apple App Store for OS X sucks, but it has never downloaded anything I didn't want, and I've never been hit with malware using it. Nor has my father-in-law who often gets malware from

Part of the problem is that Flint neither voted this way, nor is it privatized. The state took over the city government and installed a city manager who made the decisions that led to this situation.

What happens now is that legit companies are not calling anymore. It's only scammers. What they do is use a PBX or Voice Over IP system where they can set the caller ID themselves. When they call someone, they create a new number (some

Just curious - why did you give them your contacts? I've been on it for years and have never uploaded a single contact. I've just manually connected with people I know. Whenever a service asks for my contacts, I know it's bec

It wasn't perfect, but man I loved using it so much more than anything else. It had some rough edges, but I knew how to work them. I remember fighting with Visual Studio around the same time. Actually, for years, I used CodeWarrior on

My experiences with it are that it is extremely shitty. I often go to it to see if there are any tables at my desired time, and if there are, I manually call the place and book the reservation directly. Whenever I go to it, it tries to push

It's not exactly the same, but it reminds me of something I heard a few years ago. I knew someone who worked at a small non-profit. Once a year they'd do a particular fund drive that involved calling their previous donors and eith

It's been over 10 years since I had my own business, but when I did, I tried to use "we" instead of "I" and paint the business as a business offering services rather than one person trying to get work. It became ver

Well you can shoot yourself in the foot with that thinking. I have a friend who told me she has something like 20 Stack Overflow logins because she can't remember the passwords to any of them so she just keeps creating new ones. I wond

Absolutely. If big name stores, health insurers, and even banks can barely keep their machines secure, then I have no faith that Random J. Company, Inc. is going to keep their customer data secure.

I was wondering the same thing. Reading the other answers, it seems like the reason the author thinks they're superior is that he can design interfaces using only code. (Not sure if that's the author's point or just the poste

I don't see how the fact that someone might be on a fixed income makes it fair for their children to inherit the house and tax-basis from 50 years ago. Also, I don't see why property tax increases for existing homes couldn't

I get what you mean, but I feel like sometimes it's important to just stop if you're repeatedly failing at something. I often find that taking a break (stopping trying for a bit) gives my subconscious time to breathe and figure ou
