[WTA] EMF radiations and metal casings

Baronic — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:18:53 +0800

ISSUE: metal casings (aluminum) for phone devices

I'm a little confused. My lil phone manual says "keep away from metal objects to avoid exposure to radiation" (yea, its not an exact quote but thats sorta like what it says). But a google search leads me to a research article about how aluminum can actually reduce the radiation (at the cost of phone signal strength). makes sense a bit but if just putting just your finger at the antenna area is bad cuz it basically turns your entire body into a antenna or something like that, wouldnt the aluminum do the same, if it doesnt enhance the effect?

i has a confused.

New Moderator for CC

i find myself spending almost 90% of my moderation activities here instead fan all rounder role these days. my home forum the windows mobbile section is sufferring. so i'm looking for a good candidate for a cupid corner moderator. i prefer self nominations because no point nominating someone who doesnt want the role. so if u think someone is eligible, do pm him to nominate himself.

requirements:

online almost everyday
cupid corner regular/cupid corner is the home forum
capable of constructive advice
in line with cupid corner current moderation policy

of course i wont be hands off and will be guiding still and still mmoderating myself. essential key roles include

looking out for trash posts (tldr, pics or gtfo, summmary please) common sense, posts that should not be posted.
threads that are yes/no in nature. especially new threads. should i go after her. should i buy her flowers. should i change my underwear. a lil tricky here as if the thread has good content and needs more advice than a simple yes or no, then its good.
flames among members.
derailing posts. one or two u can close one eye, but if it gets excessive take action.
other standard forum fules
constructive advice if any.

(number of stars u have has no impact on my election decision, but u'd definitely need a track record)

Baronic needs your help

Hey guys, i just spent like TWO hours trying to figure this damn thing out but i cant seem to do it!

here's the game, gfDoom,

http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql/gfDoom.htm

just FYI.

I'm attaching the "keyboard" skin for the game, which allows landscape and i'm quite happy with it. The only problem is in landscape i cant see a way to save the game, or exit the game.

By default for Touch Pro, landscape

VOLUME DOWN = OPEN DOOR (which is fine)
BACK BUTTON/OK BUTTON = SHOOT (also fine)
Other hardkey buttons unmapped.

doesnt need a map button since on screen, bottom left corner activates the map

now i'm trying to map the pause/menu button to one of the hardkeys. Make full use of em. Like the enter key and the volume up key. Can someone help me out here? I think one key shud be a letter or something so that can save the game. Like when i wanna save the game i have to type a name.

I have found this link "Keys and Key Codes for Windows Mobile" but am unable to get it to work after several attempts.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431750.aspx

see attachment for the instructions and the folder containing the skin "Keyboard"

Hopefully someone can help me out by helping me map it out.

[WTS] Baronic's HTC Touch Pro

Baronic — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 21:01:37 +0800

Letting go of my HTC Touch Pro.

DEAL INCLUDES: Full box, extra stylus, manuals, CD. Everything MINUS the handsfree. Spoilt mine, but u can buy an ap set from lelong.com.my for around 50 or so. Comes with 2GB micro sd. also throwing in my original HTC extended battery, 1800mah, so your device can have maximum battery life. it uber rocks i can tell u. can game while in the office with no worries of battery dieing. ALSO throwing my Golla black pouch, which fits the touch pro with the extended battery.

WARRANTY UNTIL: 7/10/2010. (bought 7/10/08, 2 years extended warranty!) ORIGINAL SIS WARRANTY

CONDITION: 95% perfect condition. the 1350mah battery cover has some scratches. But the extended battery cover is perfect pristine condition. The screen has some VERY MINOR HAIRLINE scratches. it can only be seen under a certain angle under bright light. BUT once a screen protector is applied (as it is now) u cannot see the scratches, as it can no longer reflect the light at the angles. i could have cheated u even and said screen 100% no scratches and fooled u. screen protector plus extended battery the device is 98% brand new condition. (slight scratch at keypad area, very very minor)

OTHER NOTES:

Device has been hard-spled, and custom rom flashed, so you can take my device and start flashing straight away!
If you wish i can also flash back an original rom and original spl for warranty purposes before COD, or the next time u wish to claim warranty.

Garmin GPS ready. For those who know me, u'll know i'm a pda gaming fanatic, so you'll inherit everything that i have. Warcraft 2, Starcraft beta, Playstation emu and u can play stuff like Tactics Ogre. All that. Also all my software and other games, u'll get all the support u need. also any windows mobile issue u face u can always sms me anytime and i'll help u out, just ask my previous customers. i provide personal customer service pertaining to software issues.

PRICE (firm) : RM 1500. Quite a bloody steal considering the extended warranty, and extended battery, and my support. Feel free to survey other touch pro prices.

COD locations : Subang area, Sunway area, TTDI (taman tun dr ismail) area, 1 Utama. Other locations can be arranged depending.

Feel free to meet up, and inspect first with no obligation to buy. Pics will come soon as soon i get my old decrepit camera to start working.

all u cicaks and others

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money.

If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

VERDICT IS IN: Nokia hacking is now allowed

Baronic — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:26:19 +0800

The verdict is in, Nokia Hacking is now allowed.

So i'd like to first thank everyone who reported hacking posts, to help maintain the forum. But as of now, you don't have to do so anymore. thank you.

HOWEVER: No piracy related stuff is allowed. If the hacking in question is somehow related to piracy, its not allowed. Again, no piracy sharing. And no piracy requests, not even "PM me please" or using the words "ahem ahem" to describe it. We will be looking at intent rather than words used. If you see any such, please report em, rest assured they will be dealt with accordingly

Dear /k/, i have just taken almost a dozen pictures, contorting my face as much as possible with as much variety as possible, at the same time acting as gay and lala as i can manage. should i share them with you all, so that you may ridicule me and step and crush on the nuts of my dignity, and post it everywhere so that i become a legend long after i get die?

yes i was/am high on weed.

Anyone ever seen it? its sorta like, a group of millionaire investors will accept people who which to raise funds, and interview them, and see if its a possible good investment. If its good, sometimes the investors will bid against each other, trying to get exclusive rights to the investment

i also cannot boot into windows with the words NTLDR missing, press key to restart.

The recovery is failing because of the virus?

Baronic — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:23:02 +0800

Lets say i have two exe files

call em A and B

both are actual programs, not shortcuts exe

i wanna make A have B's exe icon. Is it possible somehow, whether to edit the exe icon to change it?

I've tried to create a shortcut with B. Readjust the location of B's shortcut to A.exe.

But when i do that the shortcut icon changes to A's icon

I'll leave it to Baronic. I'll talk to him later via text or via MSN. Express my idea out. He has exams too and we've real life kicking in. Its a great idea by Baronic. But what I want him to do is that /k/'s letter should be different. We don't want another rant thread

Anyway to the rest on how you can help Baronic and rest of /k/

Firstly , I would encourage to check if its problem with your house phone line or something. Make sure your SNR values are par. If you don't understand at all and bashing Streamyx blindly -> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/222851

If its okay , then carry on with next step. I want you to do traceroute (tracert for windows user as microsoft rips *nix programs and renames it) to sites such as lowyat.net , youtube.com and some other sites with different ranges of IP address. Take note and store it somewhere (as txt file) , collect as much evidence as possible

Now look at where there are spikes (aka high latency) , then you can hit TM with this saying that its their server fault/bad routing

Now if your SNR/DSL signal is sucky. Its your phone lines fault and you can't simply bash TM in this , as they would know that it has to do with your phone wiring/splitter issue

This way we can tackle 'genuine issues'

OFFICIAL /K/ "Army" (mission 2 added to 2nd post)

/K/ Army

(not affiliated with LYN)

/k/ Army Members (please PM me)

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Hey guise, i'm here to recruit a REAL /k/ army, with mission objectives to make an actual change in the world we live it. While some of you may be skeptical, and thinking what can a pebble do in an ocean, but TOGETHER, we'll create a tsunami that everyone will stand up and notice. Organisation of the army is not yet set, but there will probably no generals. Every member of /k/ army will have equal rights, in the proposal of new missions. And then depending on the reception of the mission, the entire /k/ Army will accept it, and act upon it.

Missions MUST be of legal nature, with the objective of doing GOOD rather than bad. With ISA still effective, we will not give an excuse to have us taken in. So if you thought we're gonna be an /i/ army like 4chan, we're not. Nonetheless, we will be a force to be reckoned with. United we will stand, and united we will make a name for ourselves.

This is the first step ladies and gentlemen.

Noone will be forced to join /k/ army. Nor will anyone be forced to stay should one choose to leave. Nor will all /k/ army members be forced to undertake a mission, should you feel it is against your personal principles. But remember this, united we stand. Divided, we will fall.

So what say you, men and women of /k/?

Do i have your bow, your axe and your sword? Say aye and join us.

Be more than just a username on the interwebs.

We're currently looking for a nice /k/ army banner for signature purposes, as a proud tag. Any volunteers? Also need a coat of arms!
