I use Opera Mini when accessing the internet from my cell phone. Right now, I'm looking for a nice, free MMO for it.

It's a really low-end cell phone so I'm avoiding anything fancy like Adobe Flash, Java client, etc. Needless to say, I'm avoiding fancy-smanchy graphic too. It would have to be a text-based one.

I like rpg/strategy and I'd be happy if there's also a solo play (some sort of solo campaign) in addition to multiplayer.

I try the ones listed here :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_multiplayer_b...

However, almost all of them (I didn't try every single one) are too advanced for my poor cell phone :(

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance ...

Hi all...

My computer got infected with this virus. It's identified as tanatos/heur (by avg) or sality (by avira antivir). It's a virus that attacks *.exe files. Both antivirus could detect it but they couldn't remove the infections (apart from quarantine and deletion). I also double-checked with AVG virus database to comfirm this virus attack (in case there's another virus attacking). The only virus attacking is tanatos

So, I checked the internet for a specialized removal tool in order to heal my *.exe files. Most of the websites I read suggest to use rmtanat.exe+rmtanat.nt+rmtanat.dos from AVG.

I've followed the cleaning suggestion from AVG but the problem is...rmtanat gave me a FALSE NEGATIVES...It report my files as clean whereas AVG itself detect the infection correctly. What gives ?

Now, this is frustating, really really frustating...I could tolerate if rmtanat fail to repair my files, but a false negatives ? The virus eventually infect even rmtanat.exe itself ! LOL

Now, I've probably stopped this virus auto-startup (I use a clean *.exe files as a bait to check this virus existence in memory, also a virus-free rmtanat didn't report its existence in memory) but my *.exe files still contains this virus. It's like living with a time bomb :D

Anyway, sorry for the long post, but is there any proven method (apart from rmtanat) to heal my *.exe files ? Or do I have to reformat my computer (really tedious) ?

Thanks,

Their electrical charges would cancel each other out but their masses do not ...

- Destroyed according to e=mc^2 ??

- A neutron is born ??

- .... ??

Also, what would happen if an electron collide with a positron (a positively charged electron, cmiiw) ?

Thanks a lot...

Hi all...

It's like this :

"mounting a fan on a sailboat and then pointing the fan at the sail to move the boat"...

>>>Why wouldn't it work ??

I probably would get bashed by asking this stupid question.

Hi...

I joined a small group in my local church. It would be nice if we have a small web site about our group so the members could at least stay in touch with each other through the web site.

- The web site would be used mainly for uploading photos, a forum, and a small information center.

- We may need some kind of database for the members (in order to post in the forum). Maybe SQL/whatnot service ?

- It's nicer if it doesn't have too many ads nor a complicated url name :D

I know a little about HTML but it was from the time when we used to write HTML in pure notepad. Now, I'm lost in the sea of PHP, JavaScript, etc, etc :(

Which freehosting service would you recommend ? Also, how could I easily make a decent website ? Maybe someone could recommend a nice free web site maker program or link me to a web site that offer such web site creation wizard ?

Thank you very much...

Best regards,

-septerra-

Which variant is it ??

Also could somebody please explain the rule briefly ? or direct me to a nice website with explanation...

Also (cmiiw), in the movie the villain has more money than bond at the start of the last round. So when they both bet "all-in" and Bond won, didn't the villain still have some spare money to continue ?? I might be wrong, so please don't bash me :D

Thanks...

And how does it fare in comparison against, say, the regular McDonalds spicy sauce ??

Thanks,

Hello everyone...

I'm playing against Joey and there's a deck that I particularly hate from the AI. It goes like this (sorry, cannot remember the cards' names) :

- First, he set up permanent trap card that forbid my 4-star or higher monster to attack. Next, using another permanent trap, he set the type of my monster as machine.

- Second, he summon a level 3 monster that got 2000-3000 (forget...) attack bonus against machine types.

- He also set-up trap that nullifies my trap at the cost 1000 of his HP every turn.

- Any attempt to use magic/trap would usually met with counter magic/trap card such as 7 tools of bandits.

- P-P-P-P-P-P-P-WNEDD !!

I usually count on Jinzo to bail me out but since I only have 1 card, he usually comes late. What amazes me is the speed at which Joey could pull off this combo with a lot of pre-requisite cards.

Any advice ?

If you could burn something, do you call it "flammable" or "inflammable" ??

At first, I though it should be flammable since "in-" prefix has negative meaning but lately, I see both form used liberally to denote the same thing (that you could burn). What does the"in-" actually means ?

And how do we call something that won't burn ? Non-flammable ? Is it right gramatically ?

Thank you

Hi, everyone

Usually, my weight is around normal (well, according to simple Body Mass Index calculation). For the last two month, I lost about 35 pounds and this put me under my normal weight range.

I don't think my foot consumption is any different. I'm under heavy stress lately though. Is it normal ? Even my girlfriend says I'm too thin now (well, I'm only slightly heavier than her now).

I'm trying to gain my weight back by eating more foods but it doesn't seem to work.

Any advice regarding my diet ? Do I need to get a doctor's inspection ?

Thank you...

Hi, everyone...

I want to play a *.bik video play. It is a format from Bink, iirc, easily found in games's FMV.

I used K-lite codecs pack and Mplayer but they don't have support for *.bik.

Thank you

Hi, everyone.

1 week ago, WinXP suddenly didn't recognize one of my partition (NTFS 40GB). It was listed with RAW filesystem (PartitionID still 0x7h which is NTFS), happened after restarting.

There's no sign of mechanical failure (strange noise/vibration, etc). Another partition works fine. I've tried reading it on another computer. No cigar

Cold-Boot, Last Known Configuration, CHKDSK, etc didn't work.

That partition was my backup. All of my files were stored there including driver/utilities/my data for the last 7 years (the harddisk itself is < 3 years old).

I've searched through the internet for any file recovery tools. None of them (around 3 - 4 tools) could see my files directly. They have to do some sort of physical scan first which would take hundreds of hours (??).

I don't know much about data recovery tools, could anyone recommend one for me ?

Also, I prefer not to move my harddisk anymore (in case it would provoke mechanical failure).

Thank you all...

Hi, everyone...

My current desktop computer is starting to fail. I want to buy a new one around Q3 (July - August), custom-built. I hope I could play recent games with good performance.

My last buy was around 7 years ago (the dawn of Pentium !!!). Since then, I don't know much about hardwares and their price range.

Please give me your ideas :

- desktop/laptop ?

- core2duo/amd64 ?

- ati/nvidia ?

- casing ?

I think I could still use my old VGA card (FX 5200), Sound card (SB Live!), Monitor (ViewSonic 17') if I really need to.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thank you..

I have 3 partitions on my primary hd (3 years old). All NTFS.

- First partition is primary for winXP (C: drive) 8 GB

- Second partition is primary for work/multi-GB games 24 GB

- Last partition is logical for the rest of my data/backup (mp3, installer, documents, etc) 42 GB

About 5 hours ago, I restarted my computer. Upon restart, Windows didn't recognize my last partition anymore. It was listed as local disk with RAW file system (Windows asked me whether I wanted to format it). CHKDSK didn't work. As far I remember, I didn't do any system-critical activity during my last session (I'm sure of it).

Windows works fine, but I don't even have the driver for my VGA card anymore (!!!). I don't have any bootdisk/bootCD except my WinXP CD with its recovery console.

I practically lost my EVERY data (around 40GB). I have no backup since that partition is my BACKUP, lol... expect for the most important-est files (my work report, 1 MB). All of my system utilities are gone too.

Please help me..

Hello everyone...

I use archiver (you know, program that compress files) quite frequently. Starting with ARJ in the good old days.

Starting with windows, I usually use Winzip (one of the earliest archiver for Windows). Lately, i'm getting really sick with it because :

- It doesn't support other format that much.

- They seems to have an annoying habit of keep introducing a new, supposedly stronger archiving method that don't get supported outside WinZip, not even by an earlier version of itself.

I miss the good old ARJ time with its backward-compatibilitiy.

Could anyone recommend a nice archiver for me :

- Nice, powerful compression ratio thats's widely supported ?

- Support a large number of archive format ?

- Multiple feature (i miss ARJ) ?

- Freeware (finger-crossed...) ?

I'm interested in 7-zip. Is it good ?

Thank you

Hello everyone..

I read an interesting article about the worst selling games of 2006 on March 2007 EGM. A little out of topic, I also read a rather arrogant defence from Jack Tretton (SCEA's CEO) about PS3.

The article said that the game "Space Ace" (during 2006 fiscal period) sold enough copies across USA to make US$ 15. This made me laugh. The game was released on December 2001, though. There is also a 2006 game in that article, "Bomberman Act : Zero"

I'm interested about this. Could anyone told me what the worst selling games of all time is ? or which game is considered to be the worst game of all time ?

I sometime collect this kind of games (only if I could get them) for amusement/novelty purpose (to see how bad they really are and laugh at it).

Thank you in advance..

Hello everyone..

I'm using WindowsXP and I'm planning to replace notepad as my default text editor. I'm looking for a nice, full-featured text editor; maybe with spell checker and syntax highlighting capability (in case I write something C++).

Also, since I'm planning to replace the original "notepad.exe", I hope this editor come in a small, self-contained *.exe file (or at least without too many support files). I'm just looking for a small text editor, not a Microsoft Word replacement :D

A freeware would be a HUGE plus.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.. :D

Hello everyone..

After reading some of the questions and answers here, I came to a conclusion that everyone here must be addicted to pro-wrestling :D

Could anybody help me with this :

1. I read that The Undertaker once defeated both Big Show and A-Train during wrestlemania. How the hell did he do that, considering that Big Show alone was >500 pounds ? Could anyone describe that match ? Also, is A-Train Albert ?

2. Regarding a handicap match, what is the most amazing feats any superstar/stable has ever achieved ? Has anyone win a 1-vs-3 match ? Was there any 1-vs-4 ? 1-vs-5 ? How about diva's handicap match ?

3. I was surprised when I knew Finlay was 48 years old. Who are some of the oldest performer ever in pro-wrestling ?

4. Is there any website that provide free clips (or maybe animated GIFs) showing each superstar's finisher ?

5. Which finisher never fails, always yields a successful pin-out or tap-out afterward ?

Thank you..

I read about the black hole a long time ago. There are a few things that I would like to ask :

1. How does it happen ? Is it true that black hole is basically a dead white dwarf star ?

2. Black hole's gravity is supposed to be able to bind even light. How is it possible ? Doesn't foton have no mass (according to Einstein theorem) ? There should be no gravity bind for it (according to F=G.m1.m2/r^2) ?

3. If black hole is able to bind everything, how do we prove its existence ? Neither the optic telescope or radio telescope should be able to receive anything from it, it would bind both the optic and radio transmission.

4. Actually, someone theorizes the black hole does radiate something although in a very very small amount. How is it possible (again, due to gravity bind) ? And who is that someone (I assume Stephen Hawking) ?

Any help would be appreciated although I probably wouldn't be able to understand an uber-elite scientific answer :d

Hello everyone..

I'm searching for a free English->English dictionary program.

- It would be better if the database is update-able (or even able to use another language translation, such as Japanese ->English)

- It would be even much better if this program could translate the whole paragraph for me (similar to many web-translation service)

Could anyone recommend any program for me (also, where I could download them) ?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you..
