For some reason, Motorola Phone tools can't seem to see the phone (Razr V3) when it's connected. I've heard that phones come locked or somesuch, but never really paid much attention to that. How do I check if my phone is locked, and what do I do about it? Also, who else is drinking right now?

I'm going on friday, going to see my brother do the marathon on sunday and spending monday at a UN thing, but I'm looking for good theater and gallery information, as well as any cool events going on. Recommendations?

I've had experience with only two mp3 programs- Winamp and iTunes, this last because I bought an Ipod. I grew to like the iTunes interface as well as its playlist creation and information features. Now, my Ipod died, and I'm in the market for a better product. Am I correct in assuming that...

So I've caught a couple episodes of this cartoon, but it seems there's a lot of backstory I simply don't have. Where did the masses of superhumans come from, how the hell did they get massive space stations and orbital fleets, and in general, wtf? It's a pretty cool show, might get the dvds.

Sometimes, generally on startup, my taskbar will freeze. I've tried going to Task Manager and stopping unnecessary processes to see if it's some incompatibility, but I have to admit I'm kind of in the "wiggle the wires under the hood and maybe that'll fix the car" mode. What should I check in...

I'm pretty sure I saw a tiny utility somewhere that gave you a report of all the components on your box. Can anybody link me? Or maybe I'm just an idiot and there's something like it on Control Panel. Any help?

As seen here: http://premium.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/americas/06/29/mexico.stamp.ap/ I'm about to send a runner out to get stamps for business mail (and I live in Mexico). If you'd like a sheet of these or whatever PM me with your address. They're about .60 USD. They'll never be worth anything and...

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, with the Alien Crossfire expansion, is the finest example of awesome game design I've ever seen. The breadth of freedom you have as a faction is incredible, but what brings the game to unparalelled heights is the superb feeling of depth you get from the videos and...

Look, this is embarrasing enough as it is. No need to rub it in further. But I need a Star Trek .midi, the sound made by those communicator things. I need the Next Generation sound, not the original. Anybody know where I can get it?

I think I may have exhausted myself on Alpha Centauri (and Alien Crossfire). I'm looking for something about as deep or deeper if possible, while still being awesome. Any recommendations? A friend told me to take a look at Call to Power II, but I think I remember it got bad reviews when it came...

And I gotta have my fix. Is there any way around ultra restictive firewalls or .... things that restrict my internet access? I get bored during the lulls and need the drama.

Anybody got a link to international piracy (intellectual property, not eyepatch and cutlass) statistics? I'm doing some research and can't seem to find anything recent.

Going with my girlfriend. Any suggestions? Are the Gates still up in Central Park?

As usual, the current issue of the New York Review of Books is excellent, and the most worthwhile reading for the week. An interesting article, found here, is authored by Bill Moyers, and I seem to recall hearing the name. I Wikipedia'd him and didn't turn up much, so I thought I'd ask about his...

I'm going to NYC for Easter and am looking for a decent hotel to stay 4-5 nights. Since I'll be going with my girlfriend and we have a lot of activities lined up, we won't be spending much time actually there, so location is a bigger consideration than anything. I'd initially prefer the Lower...

I recently reinstalled and realized that Deus Ex could certainly use a re-skinning, like the Rebirth mod for System Shock 2. Anybody know if such a project was undertaken, or any other way to make this awesome game look better?

I thought you (Kurayami) would probably be the right guy to ask for suggestions on good military strategy theory reading. I don't mean classical Von Clausewitz or Clemenceau, but rather something more modern, and if possible related to urban warfare and general strategic thinking for modern...

I'm trying to stuff a .lit document into my Palm, but (obviously) MS products don't play well with the competition. Does anybody know any way to extract all text from a .lit document to paste it into Word, or any other sneaky way around this bullshit? Edit: Forgot to mention google, for once...

I've been working at a law firm for two and a half years. This past summer the continental director for a risk consulting/business intelligence company contacted me about coming to work for their regional office. At first I wasn't interested but I started getting bored at my firm and, to make a...
