If you’re running an online business like I am, there are times when you need to connect and log in to the server to tweak or check things. It can’t be helped and while the Cpanel solution and related are often splendid, sometimes I just like to get bits all over my hands as I “go old school” on my server and use a command line.

I hate spammers! Stupid jerks waste so much of my time and clog up my mailbox with their stupid messages. I think it should justify the death penalty! Now I’m getting spam from Yahoo Groups where people are automatically adding me to their spammy groups without my permission? WTF?

On two separate computers, I have tried to change my Search Provider on Internet Explorer 7 by (1) chosing the option on required settings page, (2) right clicking on the search icon to change/add defalt search provider, and (3) using the TEST option. Each time, I get a message at the bottom of the page that says “(!) Error on Page”.

I’m a Gmail fan and just learned that Google is going to implement “dial out” capability from right within Gmail [ed: see Call phones from Gmail on the Gmail blog]. Darn cool, but they said you need to install “Google Voice and Video Plug-In” and I’m hoping you can explain how to do just that?

I’m baffled! I want to start using Facebook Places when I’m in public venues (having read your article yesterday about Facebook Places and Privacy , thanks for that!) but it can’t ever find my location. Is there some secret to getting it to work on my iPhone 4?

Dave, Help! I posted a status update to my Facebook Wall, then realized I didn’t want it there, but while I can see the “hide” buttons on other people’s entries on my page, and I’ve seen “delete” buttons on people’s comments on my earlier Wall postings, I can’t see how to delete my own posting.

A lot of noise-reducing devices have passed through our offices, and I’ve had many in-flight opportunities to test things and see how they work, but even with that, I have to say I am astonished at how extraordinarily well the Nokia BH-905 bluetooth headphones work when the automatic noise reduction is enabled. Nokia BH-905 bluetooth stereo headphones Which isn’t to say that these are perfect, because they’re not. In fact, there’s a design flaw that I found incredibly frustrating and which caused me to more than once pull them out of my bag just to find them dead..

The idea of being able to access all my files and data from anywhere on the Internet is darn tempting. Imagine having a multi-terrabyte file server that only you – and people you invite – can share, and imagine it’s fast, easy to set up, and surprisingly inexpensive. Enter the oddly-named Pogoplug.

My Dad gave me a bluetooth headset that he isn’t using, a Nokia BH-700, and I want to pair it with my iPhone 3GS, but I can’t figure out how to proceed since the instruction manual has vanished.

As part of some user interface testing I’m involved with on an Ubuntu Linux system, I find myself frequently having to rename groups of files in a sequential manner. That is, I’ll have files like “output mm-dd-yyyy at hh:mm:ss” and need to rename them to “testrun-xx-file-yy”

I want to give my daughter my old iPhone so she can use it as an iPod Touch sort of device and am concerned that she’ll listen to material that doesn’t meet my approval as a parent. What I’d like is to put some sort of limiter or lock on the phone so that any music that is marked as having explicit lyrics is skipped or prevented from playing. Possible?

This is so weird: I just bought a new 500GB external hard drive but when I hook it up to my iMac, I get a little “not allowed” symbol every time I try to copy anything onto the device! Digging around, it appears to be connected “read only”.

At a local conference, a social media “guru” was telling me that LinkedIn is very particular about what groups it allows on the site, and that I can’t just create whatever group I want. I run a resume review service for college kids and I want to have a group associated with it on LinkedIn so that if people search for resume help, they’ll find me.

We see tons of questions like this: “My iPod went through a huge wash, and the screen is black, when I hold the flashlight to it, it is seeable, but, it’s very inconvenient to have a black screened iPod nano in the public.” that ultimately boil down to: my iPod’s busted, how can I get it fixed cheap?

I’m finally selling my old PowerBook in favor of a new MacBook and while I’m excited, I am also worried that I get rid of every trace of myself on the system. Most importantly, I’ve heard that I need to unauthorize [ed: deauthorize, actually] iTunes on my system.

I’m sick of the never-ending privacy changes at Facebook, frustrated that I have in good faith entered a ton of information about myself and my social circles, just to have them constantly tweak and fiddle things so that they can get more visibility and make more money, all while compromising my privacy. What’s up with that, Zuckerberg?

As a professional photographer in the field every week, I’m curious about how the new Apple iPad works as a photo import and management tool. Can I pull photos directly off the SDcard, and if so, how do they show up on the device itself? It’d be great to preview them with clients, that’s for sure.

I’ve become a fan of Web-based office tools and am just about ready to jettison the old battleship of Microsoft Office in favor of Google Docs.

This is beyond annoying: I’ve been using the Notes application on my iPhone 3G to keep track of different things and now that I want to get the notes of, I realize that I’m kind of trapped. I can’t see any way to access them off the phone, even within iTunes, which reports that it’s backing up and syncing those same notes.

Ok, I get you like small form-factor cameras because having one with you is better than having a pro rig that’s in the closet at home, but which camera do you suggest for an advanced amateur photographer? I take a lot of pictures of our [dog, cat, ferret, parakeet, hamster, kids] to send to grandparents and post on Facebook, but want to be able to shoot really good quality pictures too, not just snapshots. What do you recommend?
