dtech's Advice

  • What can a Blackberry do that a regular cell phone can't do?
    When it works - it crashes about every 6 months - it's pretty much a decent cell phone. email, web, text messaging, and voice. I'm an acknowledged gadget freak and I can't see the point of a blackberry.

  • How to stop taking Vicodin?
    The biggest problem with using Vicodon long term is that your body gets used to it and it doesn't work as well. You might ask your doctor about Fentynal patches. They're harder to accidentally OD on too.

  • What is the Morning After Pill? (0%)
    RU-486. Without all the technical mumbo-jumbo, it makes you so sick that if you conceived, you miscarry.

  • How to create your own website?
    The biggest problem for the average person on a budget is to allow access to their website by people on other computers. You need a web server, obviously - but in order for people outside your house to access it, you also need an IP (Internet Protocol...

  • How do I put a music player on a website?
    Do you mean a downloadable program, or are you trying to embed a link to a music file that the browser will play? Either answer is generally the same - look at the html syntax for links (). The details will vary depending on what you actually meant t...

  • What is search engine optimization?
    It's a complex subject, and it depends partly on which search engine you're talkng about. I'd recommend doing some serious research after you determine what SE you're looking at.

  • Will my boyfriend change his mind about our future?
    Up until I was twenty-something I swore I'd never get married. I've now been married for almost twenty years and wouldn't change it. He'll grow up, just be patient.

  • Why do I always pass out? (50%)
    Sounds like either low blood pressure or not enough oxygen in your blood. I'd see a doctor if I were you.

  • Is torrent illegal?
    Technically no, torrent isn't illegal. However, some (not all by any stretch) of the content available via torrent is copyrighted, and shouldn't be shared - that's the illegal part. Unfortunately, the RIAA and MPAA have declared war on anything that ...

  • How do you quit using morphin?
    DId you mean Morphine? Depends on how hooked you are. If you're seriously jonesd I recommend tapering down, or maybe switch to something milder like hydrocodone or fentanyl.

  • What's something fun to do that's cheap?
    I can spend hours in a big bookstore, even if I don't buy anything.

  • How many carbs should a diabetic consume at each meal to loos
    You need to ask your endocrinologist that one. Each diabetic has different carb requirements and a different schedule.

  • What is this medication called Reductil?
    http://www.eurodrugspharmacy.com/informationonreductil.htm

  • Can I view temporary internet files on xp?
    You can if you know what what type of files they really are (and what viewer to use), and if they're written intact to the temp directory. If you've got a fragment of a file it might still work, but probably not if it's a graphic or sound file.

  • Can I use xp system restore from dos?
    Why does no one ever give version numbers? It depends entirely on what version of DOS and what version of Windows you're talking about.

  • Can I use tire cables in wa?
    I have no clue, but here's a hint - do you mean tire chains and do you mean Washington state?

  • Can I use the windowsxp disc I got with my computer on anothe
    If you have activated it, then no - Mickysoft won't allow a second activation on different hardware. If it's an unactivated copy that you aren't using elsewhere it should work ok.

  • Can I use stock anderson windows for relacement windows in br
    Yes, but. Are the 2x4 fillers still in good shape on the brick wall, or do they need to be replaced too? Don't take a shortcut there - if you replace them, use wolmanized lumber. Then just hang the window as in new construction.

  • Can I use outlook express with my aol address?
    Yes but - why? OE is possibly the very worst mail client written. Still, if you're serious, what you need to do is configure AOL for SMTP access (I know it can be done, but I'm not an AOL user). then just plug the mail server info from AOL into OE. ...

  • Can I use older programs on the intel macs?
    You omit all details (ARGH!) so I'm going to make a whole slew of assumptions and say no. Technically, yes it can be done (I have) but if you have to ask you don't know how. For starters, you'd need a PC ROM image...

  • Can I use my laptop computer in finland?
    Yes, but --- check which electrical mains they use there, as opposed to what they use where you are now. You may need a converter. Europe (mostly) uses 220VAC 50 cycle. US uses 110 VAC 60 cycles. Bog knows what everyone else uses, last time I was...

  • Can I use my computer as a telephone?
    With the correct hardware - a handset or headset/microphone, a sound card, and the right software.

  • Can I use more yahoo messenger at the same time?
    No - YIM (any IM program) uses your unique IP address in order to send to your computer - the server won't allow two clients at the same address. What you CAN do (difficult and expensive) Is to set up a NAT layer at your firewall and install more comp...

  • Can I transfer vedio to my computer with a jvc gr-d290u?
    You're going to need some type of video input for the computer - look at this article http://www.mwc-enterprises.com/video-1.html

  • Can I use internet while running disk defragmentor?
    You don't mention which disk defragmenter, so I'm guessing it's the one that comes with Windows - unfortunately you don't mention which version of Windows you're using... Figuring the odds, it's probably XP. Yes, you can run defrag while doing somet...

  • Can I use a backup file from quicken 5 for windowson quicken
    What version of Windows Quicken? IIRC it will work up until QW2001, after that you need to contact Intuit tech support - the data file formats change almost every version.

  • How can I display more pictures and graphs with Firefox? (100%)
    You don't mention version and OS so all I can do is give you some general advice. Firefox has shipped with various anti-crap features enabled by default since version .97. You need to disable all of that, and enable java, javascript, and flash. The ...
