Instead of just ignoring the scammers, she decided to fight back. Partly to waste their time and money, and partly to increase awareness of the kinds of scams going on. She wants to help others to be aware of their schemes and hopefully she'll reduce their effectiveness. But for us, it leaves a trail of funny exchanges with the money grubbing cheats. You can't help but cheer for them to waste money on expedited shipping costs to send their fake cashier's checks, and even to imagine their frustration when they find out they've been had and they don't get to steal anyone's money. You can find all the scoop here... http://www.bustedupcowgirl.com/scampage.html And as a bonus, if you are in the middle of an exchange with a scammer, you are even invited to call her for advice! |

02:17 PM by Alexander Turcic in Archive | Handhelds and Smartphones A guy named shadowmite released a 2-byte patch for those frustrated Sprint users who weren't able to use the Bluetooth Dial Up Networking (DUN) profile on their Treo 650. As a reminder: Sprint decided for unknown reasons to cripple the use of Bluetooth on the new Treo 650 for laptop Internet access. Now it is quite obvious that the reason was not of technical nature, otherwise how could it have been "fixed" by merely changing two bytes? Here is how to install the patched file (as explained by a Treocentral user): |

To use it, you must first install BetaPlayer 0.093g; then install the Intel 2700G plugin. Once the new player and the plugin are installed, you should have two new video options. Use 'Intel 2700G Decoder' to accelerate mpeg1 and mpeg4 decoding. With this decoder, I had a benchmark of over 200% (compared to 130% without using the plugin). What makes the plugin so great is that Axim X50v users can now lower CPU speed to save valuable battery power. [via Aximsite] |

Still runs OS5, though. Also, it seems to be for the Asian market only. |
