Looking for a new pay as you go mobile provider and came across 3.

Their prices seem very low, so I'm wondering if there is a catch anywhere?

Has anyone here used 3? Would you recommend them?

I'm trying to manipulate some data from VBA code in Access 2003. The data is in the same Access database as the code. What's the simplest way to do this?

If I have to move the file on the hard disk at any point, I don't want it to break the code.

Thanks

What's the best tag to use to embed a java applet in a HTML / XHTML document?

Oracle's Java tutorials use the 'applet' tag, but I understand that this has been deprecated.

Other sites I've seen use the 'object' tag, but some say this isn't compatible with some browsers.

These sites all seem to contradict each other, and some of them seem out-of-date, so I'm wondering what the current best practice is. I'd like to be standards-compliant if possible.

Thanks

P.S. I'm not going to use the 'Deployment Toolkit' thingy as that basically just creates an 'applet' tag.

I'm looking for a free forum system that I can add to one of my websites. Preferably written in PHP and using MySQL.

So far, so good. There are plenty of them around.

But my website has its own login system already, and it seems silly to ask people to create a 'forum account' when they already have a 'website account'. So I'm looking for a forum that's easy to integrate with my existing login system.

It would also be helpful if the templates are fully and easily customisable.

Thanks

I'm adding Swing components to a JApplet (and also to several layers of JPanels on the applet), but many of them seem to ignore the layout managers - except for a few, they are positioned at 0,0 and are size 0,0.

Laying them out with absolute co-ordinates works, but I'd rather have them laid out automatically, according to the layout managers. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

I'm looking for the piano sheet music for Christina Aguilera's The Voice Within.

I've already got a copy (in a compilation book), but that includes the vocal melody in the piano part. I need a copy where the piano doesn't play the vocal line, so that I can accompany a singer.

All of the copies I've seen online so far are the same as the one I have already. Does anyone know of an accompaniment version anywhere?

I'm happy to pay for it, but I'd rather go to a well-known website if so.

I'm primarily a computer software developer, but a recent project requires a hardware control to operate the software. I've designed the circuit schematic and even produced a (rather ugly) working prototype, but I've no idea where to go from here.

Do companies exist that can produce electronic devices (including plastic cases) to specification? If so, could anyone point me in the direction of one of these? Or if not, what other options would I have?

Thanks in advance

Just set up Apache 2 and PHP 5 on Ubuntu 10.04. This is a testing server on my development machine.

The problem is - when I navigate to a directory name such as http://127.0.0.1/mysite/ Apache sends the PHP file instead of parsing it. If I go to http://127.0.0.1/mysite/index.php it works fine.

The folder are on an NTFS partition (dual boot Windows), but I had the same problem when I moved them to ext2 temporarily. A separate folder that was created on the ext2 partition worked fine, even though they had the same owner and permissions.

Thanks

Any joke endings to this proverb?

If at first you don't succeed try, try and try again

I've already got:

- If at first you don't succeed, don't admit you ever tried

- If at first you don't succeed, don't try skydiving

But I was wondering if there are any more?

Most MMORPGs seem to be centred around combat.

If possible, I'd like to find one that does include combat, but has plenty of other things to do too (e.g. a large world to explore, crafting, etc.).

Preferably free to play, but that's not completely essential if it's a good game.

I have played runescape - it's got the non-combat stuff, but there's not enough free content IMO.

Please don't recommend any MMO comparison sites.

Is it possible to capture frames from a video file to .NET Bitmap objects or similar?

It doesn't need to be real-time

P.S. using Visual Studio.NET 2005, writing in C#

I want to open a file using its default application from within c#

As I understand it, I can run applications using System. Diagnostics. Process - but I need to know what application to use if I want to open a file.

I know I can wade through registry keys to find the relevant application, I was just wondering if there was an easier way?

Thanks

P.S. I'm using Visual Studio.NET 2005

How do I get the location of special folders (such as application data or my documents) using C#.net?

thanks

Is it possible to mix 2 or more sound sources simply by connecting the wires together?

I mean, if I took a 3-way ("splitter") audio cable and connected it so that 2 sources are connected to the same amp/speaker, would it make mixed sound come out the speaker or would it damage something?

And if that doesn't work, how do professional sound mixers work?

If you put a mobile phone in your pocket with a card that has a magnetic stripe, will the radiation from the phone wipe the information off the magnetic stripe?

I have an Xbox 360 controller that I am using on my computer.

A game I am using doesn't like analogue controls, so I was wondering whether there is any free software that can make the game see the analogue sticks as if they were 8-way D-pads - or maybe emulate key presses on the keyboard.

Thanks

I'd like to learn how to code native Windows applications using C++. Can anyone recommend a website that will teach me?

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 (I know VB already), but I don't want the final applications to be dependent on the user having the .net framework installed.

What, in simple terms, do MFC and ATL mean? I've gathered that they are some kind of library, but do they need installing on users' computers separately?

Thanks

BTW I do have some basic C++ knowledge regarding command line applications

Anyone know where the registry key for the MTU setting is in Windows Vista?

BTW I don't want to download any utilities, I just want the registry key

Thanks

When I hibernate my computer, the desktop comes back when it's half-done. Then an exclamation mark sign appears in the system tray and pops up a bubble saying something like 'Not enough resources to complete the API'.

The only resources hibernation uses is disk space, surely? I've got plenty of free space on C.

Sometimes it does this, others it hibernates normally.

Any help would be appreciated

I'm using XP Pro SP2 with 2GB RAM.
