    How many of you still know how to use t9 predictive text?

    Never learned T9. Seemed like a PITA to learn for the benefits offered. I did invest some time into Graffiti on the Palm way back when. Then I got a phone with a slide-out keyboard, which was OK, and now I use a glide (Swype-like) keyboard which is the best mobile typing method I've found so...

    What the? "Real construction" kid friendly "building" toys

    Someone found a market (or so they think) and now kids can build useless floppy foam junk. Doubt it will go very far.

    what you do with your old memory cards?

    I keep them because I like to mess around with older computers & consoles and I almost always end up digging out an old CF drive or tiny SD card for some purpose or another.

    Hacking How to Buy An AceKard 2i From DealExtreme

    LEGIT I ordered one 19 Jan from DX using the "add to cart" link (the product page was already off their site). It shipped 29 Jan. I received it 8 Feb. It's a "black PCB" model and took the 1.4 upgrade and runs the latest AKAIO just like the other 4 I ordered from DX over the past year.

    Gaming Recommend me some good preschool games?

    My kids (5, 3, and 3) like Dora, Build-a-Bear, and Nintendogs. The 5-yr-old likes playing some games with me, like Mario Kart. They also like watching Gameboy Advance video cartridges (episodes of Spongebob etc) but most other GBA games are too hard because they require reading. They have shown...

    Gaming Old PC. |:

    Older memory is more expensive. Supply and demand. It just cost me $70 US to upgrade my P4 desktop to 2GB and that was after shopping around so I believe it. However it also illustrates that you get more bang-for-you-buck with newer stuff. If you want to play the newest games, don't waste any...

    Hacking a and b buttons broken!

    There aren't springs under A & B. There are rubber cups that bounce back. The buttons themselves have little tabs on them that keep them from rotating, so "A" and "B" are always upright. It could be that you pressed so hard that the buttons turned a little so that the tabs got stuck. Look for a...

    Hacking DS lite - repair options

    There are repair guides all over Youtube showing how to take it apart and reassemble. You WILL need a "triwing" screwdriver. Dealextreme has them really cheap, but if you don't want to wait weeks for it, you can find one pretty cheap on ebay. Probably just some dirt got in there and you need to...

    Hacking Dealextreme

    If there is no tracking, they don't know what happens to it once it leaves them and they don't know when it gets delivered. The website will say "shipped" and that's all.

    Hacking Dealextreme

    Direct and to the point, in one sentence. I write too much.

    Hacking dumb question

    None of my DX Acekards came with one. I got one with an Acekard I bought elsewhere, but it does not work reliably. Most computers have an SD slot so I typically use a micro-normal SD adapter; I think I have about 10 of them since every microSD card seems to come with one.

    Hacking Dealextreme

    Ya know I've bought several things from them and I thought the same thing. WE'RE WRONG! First, know that you only get a tracking number on orders over $20. But, for orders over $20, you get a HK Post tracking number that works for Hong Kong AND several partner countries, including the US...

    How do you carry your mobile phone?

    I duct tape mine to my head. Never miss a call.

    Hacking Acekard 2i on Deal Extreme ?

    I've bought a few over the past year from DX and they're all real. BTW weren't the answers on your other thread good enough? http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=183445&hl=
