Can't activate factory reset iPhone 3?
I factory reset my iPhone through iTunes. I don't have a sim in it, and don't want one. I'm just using it as an iPod. The problem is, after I reset it, it now comes up with the normal unlock screen, with a background that says iPhone. Then it goes through the regular setup thing, and I get to the point where it says "Please insert a SIM card". Since I'm not getting a sim card, and I don't have one spare, how can I get into it?
On a side note, this adds to the list of things I hate about Apple....
1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans7 years agoTrigonomic functions simple question?
I've got every single question before this right, but I can't seem to figure out how this one works.
A circle has a chord of 25 mm with an angle of pi / 6 subtended at the centre. Find, to 1 decimal place, the length of the arc cut off by the chord.
I don't know what I'm missing this time. The angle is pi / 6. I know that much.

3 AnswersDesktops9 years agoHow much would it cost to build a computer purely for MMO gaming? 10 points.?
And what features are most important. A good wireless card? I've got wireless and I'm a bit far away from the router. I'm on a laptop and I haven't ever built a computer before, but I am confident because I've spent at least 15 hours researching computers and builds.
Anyway, I would like the computer to run on high settings, probably with a 17"-20" monitor, on games like Dota 2, all MMORPG's, and possibly, on low graphics, the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online.
Builds, tips, recommendations, etc. Thanks in advance.

1 AnswerDesktops9 years agoLaptop performance problem. 10 points?
I've got a laptop from school. Everyone else in my grade has one too. It was fine at first, but now game graphics start to lag heaps, any office program takes 30+ seconds to open, the laptop vibrates a lot more than other peoples, the battery life is less than everyone else's, and some games even give me the black screen yet on other people's laptops they work fine.
Possible causes for these problems? I will probably have to get my laptop checked out by the computer guy at school, but I would rather know what the problem is before I go to him. I also realise it could be a variety of problems. If so, list please. Thanks in advance :)

I just got the game. I want to build a house on an empty plot of land. The problem though, is that the only ones available for me to choose are 4 houses in the town.

3 AnswersHomework Help9 years agoWhat is wrong with this?
for (i=99; i>=101; i++);
{
console.log(i % 2);
}
It says...
Now that we have used the for statement to do something a set number of times, we can show you how to do the same operation on all the elements of a sequence of things.
First, write a for loop that counts from 99 to 101 using counter variable i.
Next in that for loop's code block use console.log to print out the value of i % 2.
You should expect to see console.log print out a 1 if the number is odd and then a 0 if the number is even.
Also don't forget that the stuff in the code block { ... } is done every time the loop is entered.
If you've forgotten about what the % operator does, check it out in the glossary.
You should be using the line console.log( i % 2 ); to print out the result of the modulo math.
Why won't the code I've written work?

5 AnswersVideo & Online Games9 years agoCan anyone tell me how to convince my parents into getting me a new computer?
I want a gaming computer which I can fiddle around with to get a better understanding of computers and stuff. I want to spend around $1000 on this computer. I have some builds in mind.
My question is: Any tips on how I can convince my parents to get me a new computer? I am only using a crappy Dell Latitude which I got from the school. They aren't supportive of me getting a new computer, but they are with my choice with my future involving computer engineering... It is a no win situation for me right now. I do honestly believe I need a good computer. My parents don't. How can I convince them?

2 AnswersFamily9 years agoAnyone feel like teaching me?
I like computers. A lot. The only problem is that I'm stuck with this crappy laptop I got for school. My parents are completely against me getting myself a computer... Not that they are any better. My mum spends all day on Facebook games... Anyways, I know a little about computers and stuff. Like what all the components do in general, kinda how to build a computer, stuff like that. But if anyone was really interested in teaching me more? I want to know everything I can about them. And I can only find websites above and below my level of understanding for this, so right now I'm stuck... Skype is fine, whatever. I can pay you in smileys :D
I also want to build a custom gaming computer so the more I know, the better it will be for me. Anyways... Yeah. Kewl. Thanks :)
1 AnswerDesktops9 years agoI want to make a gaming computer. Parts advice? 10 Points.?
I want a $1000 budget on everything in the computer, including case. It has to be easily accessible inside so I can get to stuff and swap things in and out. It has to include everything I need for playing games from a disk, and preferably a WLan card or something too for games I have on Steam. Also a $500 budget on everything else to go with the computer, such as keyboard, mouse, speakers, headset.
It has to be able to run games like BF3 and be capable of playing any MMORPG.
I like pccsegear.com because it is an Australian site. Any other Australian websites are good as well, or computer stores in the Newcastle, NSW area. I do like newegg.com, but I will NOT be using that or any foreign websites because of shipping costs and some other reasons.
This is also my first time building a computer, and even owning anything other than a laptop, so if you could direct me to a site that will help me actually build it that would be great.
This might be a lot to ask, but 10 points best answer :)
All help is greatly appreciated. Maybe also if you could direct me to some place where I could learn more about these parts and what the specs of parts actually mean and how they differentiate from others. Thanks :)
4 AnswersDesktops9 years agoHelp me make a PC for less than $1000? 10 points best answer.?
I want to build a gaming computer because the ones you buy are just too expensive and arent really worth it. I looked at some iBUYPOWER gaming PC's which look nice and stuff, but I was wondering if I could make a better computer, more cheaply. I live in Australia if that helps at all. I want it to be able to run Call of Duty: MW3 or Battlefield 3, but I will mainly be using it for MMORPG games. Is there a good Australian website that sells good parts for them? And if so, could you recommend those parts? I would prefer to buy all the parts from the same website. And I need to know ALL the parts. I have nothing right now. I don't want to have to choose the parts myself because I am afraid of getting things incompatible with each other. I don't necessarily care about the look of the case or anything, as long as it runs well. OS preferably included in the price, but I know where to get one of them.
All help welcomed. I'll 5 star and best answer... well the best and most helpful answer. I also heard AMD processors are good for gaming. Well, thanks. Please answer... I need help.

6 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoIs this the right pathway to software engineering?
I am 16, in year 10 at school. For year 11, I have chosen physics, advanced and extension maths, engineering, software design/development (online course) and standard english.
I want to be a software engineer/developer when I leave school (if I apply myself) or University.
Are these subjects setting me on the right track for this career? And I was thinking about buying an Alienware x51 when I have enough money for gaming. Will that also suffice as a good computer for programming? I want the Alienware for it's gaming performance and good looks, and I don't particularly want any other computer. I am also a relatively fast typist, but if you could direct me to any programs that could increase my typing speed that would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
