Using mobile phone bluetooth headset with speakers

nerd — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 18:00:21 +0800

Hey guys,

I know this is not a 'problem' per se, but I thought this was the right section to ask.

I just want to know whether is there any way for me to use a normal mobile phone bluetooth headset with the PC speakers - as in, the the user of the headset will speak into the mike and the sound will come out from the PC speakers. Something like how a wireless PA would work, but more elegant

Do I need to use any external software for this or will the normal Windows settings suffice?

Using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Thanks!

Windows Live Messenger on Level One WBR-3408

nerd — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:16:30 +0800

hey guys, I have problems with WLM when I'm on my Level One WBR-3408 router.

incoming messages don't always get through, and my friends will have to resend them for me to get them. sometimes more than once.

thing is, it happens intermittently - there will be times that my WLM works fine - in fact most of the time it does. just that after a period of time I will stop receiving messages for a few minutes or so. sometimes even longer.

I'm inclined to blame it on Screamyx but this has been happening for a very long time already, so it can't really be Screamyx.. or can it?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

removing script error upon Windows startup

nerd — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 19:59:23 +0800

hey guys, I've been having this annoying script error which pops up everytime I start up Windows.

I did a Spybot, antivirus (Avira) scan and registry clean but the problem still persists. I googled the URL but found nothing much of use.. and I don't think I want to run the URL in the browser.

using Firefox as my default browser, but have disabled script popups in IE8.

any help would be appreciated.

here's a screenshot of the error:

thanks!

Java help!

nerd — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:03:22 +0800

hey guys, first year university student here.

I'm supposed to create programs that can calculate multiples of 5 using for, while and do..while statements. I got the for statement working, but no such luck on the other two

I've did so many ammendments but yet failed to get it working. can anyone just check the code and tell me where I went wrong?

here's the one for do..while:

CODE

public class Multi5dw
{
public static void main (String args [])
{

int i = 1;
int number = 1;

do
{
number % 5 == 0;
System.out.printf ( "The multiples of 5 are:%d ", i);
number = number + 1;
i = i + 1;
}
while ( i <= 20 );
}
}

here's the one for while:

CODE

public class Multi5w
{
public static void main (String args [])
{
int i = 1;

while (i <= 20)
{
i = 1;
i = i++;

if (i % 5 == 0)

{
System.out.println (i +"\t" +"is a multiple of 5");
}

}

}

}

thanks guys. much appreciated

XP refuses to boot after adding RAM.. after a week

nerd — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:09:27 +0800

hey guys, I recently installed a 2GB Corsair Value Select module on my notebook which came with 1GB RAM. so it means that I'm running 1GB + 2GB of RAM. my OS is Windows XP, genuine of course.

initially after some teething problems there were no more problems after a week..

and then suddenly when I was surfing and listening to music as usual, my whole computer crashed, showed a blue screen and rebooted. it managed to get to the desktop where it got stuck and I had to manually reboot it.

after that it refused to reboot at all. it kept on resetting and resetting after the XP splash screen. sometimes Scandisk came up and tried to fix the errors, and it would get stuck after a certain percent and refused to budge until I rebooted it again.. rinse and repeat.

now I can't even get to the XP splash screen 'coz so many files are corrupted based on what Scandisk did.

basically that's that and I didn't miss any details.

is the the OS or the RAM module? I'm gonna try and take out one of the RAM modules but I doubt it will make much difference because my OS is already screwed. I also read reports saying that XP becomes unstable once you put in more than 3GB of RAM. actually I upgraded to 3GB of RAM because I wanted to run Vista, but I couldn't find one going at a good price so I didn't buy the DVD.

my dad's notebook is running a 2GB + 1GB combo as well on Vista and it's working fine, so I'm guessing XP is shocked with my sudden drastic increase in RAM.

any suggestions on what I should do?

Thanks.

getting Subscription Notification e-mails

nerd — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 09:19:40 +0800

Hi Admins, Mods and Staffs, since last week I've been getting Forum Subscription Notifications for the Music Garage Sales subforum. I didn't change any settings nor did I subscribe to any subforum. At first I thought it was a system glitch so I let it be, but after a week I guess I should inform you guys as the e-mails are getting annoying

Would appreciate if you guys would look into the matter for me. Please PM me for whatever info is needed regarding my account.

Thank you in advance!

cat repellent

nerd — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:36:00 +0800

Hi guys, I don't know whether this is the correct section or not but here goes:

I'm having trouble with cats peeing on my car's windscreen at home. I want to buy a commercial cat repellent to put around the perimeter of my car so that it won't come near. Any idea of where to get some?

thanks

[WTComplain] Conquest Computer Centre

nerd — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 16:28:32 +0800

Hi all, I want to share my bad experience with Conquest Computer Centre, Sunway Pyramid.

22/12/07 - I bought a Winfast A7300GT AGP from them to replace my damaged Radeon 9600XT.

17/01/08 - Not even a month later, the card died on me. I knew the culprit was the card because when I swapped it with my trusty 7-year old Geforce 2 MX200, my computer was running again. My mobo doesn't have an integrated graphics card. So, I sent the card back to them.

[I'll just overlook the fact that they made me wait nearly an hour while they tested the card, claimed nothing was wrong and refused to accept it, to the extent that the salesguy was nearly arguing with me]

Between then and now, I visited their shop a few times and they gave me the same excuse, that they sent to the factory but haven't got it back, so they can't do anything about it.

15/03/08 - I got fed up of waiting and went to the shop with my dad. It was a Saturday night and they were almost closing. They gave the same excuse again but my dad didn't accept it. They then said they will give me a call on Monday (today). My dad also told them that if they didn't call, we (my dad and I) would report the shop to this forum.

17/03/08 - Today. I waited until 8.15pm and no call. My dad called them and again same excuse. After my dad gave them a piece of his mind, the guy just ignored my dad and didn't say anything. After awhile he put down and when he tried to call back, the line was engaged. Tried again a few minutes later and another guy picked up. My dad demanded to talk to the previous guy.

Long story short, he said he will call again tomorrow.

I'm still bringing this up because he didn't call me today when he promised he would.

I'm just reporting this so that other people won't experience the same crap I did from this shop.

The reason why I am so agitated is because I can't do anything with the Geforce MX200 except surf the internet and listen to mp3s. I had to disable all visual enhancements and run Windows classic. Even then, the card will crash occasionally and any time I stress it. My computer is suffering from a massive performance hit and everything runs extremely slowly now.

New Honda Inspire

personally, I'm not too keen on the look, especially the rear. the front looks like a Hyundai.

what I'm REALLY interested in though, is the Variable Cylinder Management. another boost to fuel economy.

Trauma Center

it surely is a refreshing change from the usual killing people. anybody tried it?

Basically a facelifted Sutera.

First thing you guys are going to say... SAME DAMN TOY CAR

oh and I think Nasimuddin is addicted to Xbox 360's Forza Motorsport.. hence the name.

Bashers?

Proton-VW talks are OFF!

nerd — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 19:53:05 +0800

I'm sure you guys have read it from Paultan.

What do you guys think about it?

I think the G's decision to back off from the talks is a bad one. Just because sales have picked up, they don't want to partner anyone??

It's for the technology and finances, not sales for God's sake! Imagine how much ground Proton would gain if VW can transfer some technology over to their cars!

I think they're being overconfident, especially when VW have been really interested in partnering Proton for the Tanjung Malim plant.
