  • Help installing DreamBoard themes (iOS 5.0.1 / iPhone 4s)?

    I've successfully installed Dreamboard, but the additional themes are looking for a dependency that doesn't make sense. It's looking for:

    Com.wynd.dreamboard

    Is that not the dreamboard app itself? I have the newest version I could find (1.4.1). Should I download dreamboard from a different repo?

  • Can I stream 3G video content to Samsung Smart TV without wifi?

    I am trying to stream from my iPhone 4s to my Samsung smart tv. I have an app that allows me to stream YouTube to my TV (ZappoTV) but in order to connect to my TV I have to join its network.

    I recently moved and it'll be a week before I get Internet. If I connect to the Wifi network that my TV generates, my phone attempts to use it as my Internet connection, which obviously prevents me from loading any video.

    Is there a way or an app that will let me stream without connecting to my TVs wifi? Or is there a way to connect to the TVs network while continuing to use 3G as my Internet connection?

    I am jailbroken if there are any applicable apps in the cydia store.

  • Can I connect to a router without a WiFi password?

    I'm at my girlfriends parents house for the week and her dad seems to have forgotten the wifi password. He found the router password written in the manual, but it's useless unless I can connect to it.

    Their house is brand new and he couldn't tell me where the router is physically. He makes it sound like the router and repeaters are built into/throughout the house. I'll just connect via Ethernet cable if we can find it. I found an Ethernet jack built into the wall of his office but no luck connecting from there.

    I guess this want an issue for just his wife and him. They've only been here a few weeks and he's just been putting it off and using his Verizon wireless on his laptop. My girlfriend said I'd have to problem figuring it out, but I didn't think finding the router would be an issue.

    He said he called the contractors (after trying the broadband provider with no luck) and they wanted a "[crap] ton of money" to have to come back out. As this is the first time meeting her parents, I'd love to earn some major brownie points here and figure this out. Is it at all possible? I know it's up in running because I can see it in my wifi options, but the only ways I know are via Ethernet or being connected to the same wifi network.

    Many thanks in advance! Let me know if you might need any more details!

  • Can someone access my router settings without wifi password?

    I just had to reset my router because I forgot my configuration password again. It made me wonder if I can just leave it to default. Can someone get into my router settings without being on my wifi network? I will still use a cryptic wifi password.

  • Software for recording a streaming concert?

    Preface: I am not planning to redistribute this, it will be STRICTLY for personal use

    *preferably for Windows, but Mac is an option*

    *Does not need to be free, budget ~$100*

    I need an app that will allow me to record a streaming charity event thursday.

    What is my best option here? I'm assuming I need a screencasting tool. I've looked into a few different programs, but a lot have limitations.

    Here's what I need:

    - ability to record longer videos

    - ability to record WITH SOUND (i.e. the sound coming from the video)

    I've also found a few articles that mention VLC as an option, but I can't be sure what service they will be using to stream the event, therefore, I am not sure if it will work with VideoLAN's app

    Many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction

  • Board game manufacturer for kickstarter project?

    Been working on a game for a while, thought my co-writer had the manufacturing part handled.

    Does anyone know of some good manufacturers? We need to be able to price this thing before we start our campaign. The only one I know of is Game Crafter, which has gotten too many bad reviews for me to trust it.

    Here are the components I will need:

    - Cardboard (or something similar) tiles

    - Cards

    - Dice: We may use basic Die, but want to look into custom ones.

  • Guitar playing advice: Any tips for my "dumb pinky"?

    I've been playing guitar, off and on, for a while. Every time I try to pick it back up I quit again for the same reason. I have, what I call, a "dumb pinky". My pinky and ring finger are basically one in the same. They move in unison and it greatly stunts the chords that I can play. It takes intense concentration to make them move independently, which slows down my playing and ruins any song I try to play. It also prevents me from being able to sing while playing, because I have to spend all my mental bandwidth on my fingers!

    Does anyone have any exercises or tips for how you have overcome this?

    Thanks!

  • What are examples of things we call 'capitalism', but are really 'socialism'?

    I am writing a paper and I have one example as follows:

    The bank bailouts are just the rich "sharing the wealth" among themselves.

    I have a couple of pages on that but I need some more examples. Stuff like medicaid and food stamps are not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for things that we do in the name of capitalism that are socialistic at their core.

    And before anyone replies with remarks about socialism/capitalism being better, I'm not trying to start any debates. This was a specific assignment, not one I chose to write about.

    Thanks for the help guys!
