=[

My fiance works in an elementary school. She is a teacher. On Friday — a student stole her cellphone, one of her credit cards, and all the cash from her purse. The student snuck into the classroom after a teaching assistant neglectfully didn’t re-lock the door when the students were at lunch. That evening..I was making supper and hadn’t heard from my fiance all day. I texted her and asked her if we had any wraps to make fajitas — and received a strange response from her cellphone: "do u wan na have kids still?" — She doesn’t write informally, even when she texts. I called her phone and received no response. Later, I received a phone call from her father indicating that her cellphone, credit card, and cash were all stolen from her classroom. When she got home she looked online and noticed several applications and kid ringtones had been charged to her cell phone account (50 dollars worth). I sent the kid a text to see if he would respond and sure enough – he did. I asked who he was and he sent me HIS PICTURE — calling himself "Lil Greg." Smart move, right? He didn’t know that I was the fiance of the person whose phone he had stolen. We now have a gigantic, color, 7.1 megapixel blow-up self taken FACE SHOT of this 5th grade boy from her school. He is even wearing his school uniform that indicates the building he goes to school in! We have printed this off – and I have it saved on my phone – along with the conversation that he texted me. There is no way whatsoever that this kid did not steal the phone. We also have records of the phone numbers that he dialed and programs that he downloaded onto her phone.

A police officer told her to print off the picture and give it to the principal and to call the police Monday morning so they can arrest the kid when he walks into the school. I am certain that he threw the phone away or that we will never see it again (300-400 dollar smart phone). But what now? Do we have to take the kids parents to small claims court to sue them for the difference?

Thanks.
1. The thief contacted me via my fiance’s stolen phone with a picture of himself; clearly a self shot picture from the angle of the picture–arms extended. It was a little boy wearing the school uniform of the school where she teaches. There’s no way to "fake" that he contacted ME because her phone records indicate that a picture of HIM was sent to me that evening.

2. The phone was a brand new Samsung smartphone, which has since been disconnected. It is likely untraceable because the battery will be dead and/or the kid will have thrown it away because the service was shut off. It is unfortunate because it was a gift from her parents. I am a graduate student and she is a teacher — and we could never afford it otherwise.

3. At a minimum I would expect that the thief will get into trouble for the credit card theft and possession of stolen property due to his connection to the phone. I would suspect it would be almost impossible for his family to afford a lawyer in the first place.

I have recently signed up for unlimited web browsing with my TELUS mobile phone (not a smart phone). The fine print is rather confusing and says "Unlimited Web browsing applies to PCS phones only and applies to usage within the phone’s Web browser. Tethered usage is not included. Downloads and application fees are charged separately where applicable. Web browsing is only available on digital phones in TELUS digital service area". My question is would I be able to use a web-browser based instant messenger such as ebuddy mobile lite free of charge??

Okay, well I am 13 years old going into eighth grade next year, I make excellent grades. I am in the best possible math class and I have gotten High Honors every term this year. People constantly ask me if I am rich or they will call me a spoiled brat. I do get nice things but very much appreciate them. My cell phone cost 0 and has an unlimited plan, it is a full touch screen. I have a 16gb iPod touch, a laptop (which was necessary for school purposes), a Wii, An xBox 360, a touch screen digital camera ( I know, I have a lot of touch screen electronics), and I share an iP ad with my sibling. That is it for electronics.
My sibling turned 16 in January and can start driving in July, she has been promised a brand new Honda Accord Cross tour, for safety and reliability.
I am apologizing ahead for boring you with my clothing description. I have 2 North Face Denali Jackets, 5 pairs of Ugg brand shoes ( two of the chestnut, one of the chocolate, a pair of black slip-ons, and a pair of the flip flops.) I have 2 pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses, the aviators and the wayfarers, a Coach watch which was 8, a Coach bill fold which was 8, A Gucci Overnight bag which cost 8 with a matching wallet which was about 0. My closet consists of nothing but Abercrombie, Hollister, Polo, Lacoste, Burberry, and Ed Hardy. My mother has a Rolex perpetual date just watch, and my father has the Rolex Presidential. The backpack I use for school is a 0 Lacoste Duffel. I also have countless colognes and a Chanel Platinum Egoiste deodorant stick I got at Sephora which was .50.
My mother drives an Audi TT during the warm weather and a Range Rover HSE during the winter/fall. My father has an SLK350 and an ML500, which he just got.
I am telling you that I am most definitely not bragging, I just want to hear your opinion on this, I am thanking you in advance. (:

I met this guy when I went shopping for a new cell phone. He works at the place and served me and helped me with choosing it. He kinda seemed like he liked me. He kept taking his cell phone out of his pocket to show me things on it – to help me understand what he meant when he said things. At one stage, he let me have a go on his phone AND he showed me the maps app on his phone, which was funny, because he was showing me the way he gets home (and basically where he lives lol)
I know that when guys like girls, they can act really silly because they’re nervous and all…
I went back the next day and bought the phone, he was there but serving a group of 3 people at the cash register. I got served by someone else. He looked over and saw me – and his eyes went kinda big and he looked ever-so-slightly embarrassed?!

*** GUYS: What’s with that? It was weird: I felt like he was embarrased to see me again cos he looked embarrased lol What could he have been most likely thinking?***

I was in convo with the sales person who was serving me, and looked at the guy who was looking at me, but kept talking (like I didn’t smile or anything because I was in convo with the sales guy).
About 30 secs later, he goes (from the other cash register where he was working) "So you decided on a phone, huh?!" And was making convo with me, even though he was serving a group of 3.

SO… I was thinking of calling him at the store (I would ask to speak to him) to ask him if he knows if my other phone could get fixed because it got wet and has been not working properly. I forgot to tell him that! I haven’t opened the new phone package just in case! BUT… would it look too obvious that I was calling to speak with him, cos maybe I like him too? Might he pick up on that? I don’t know myself cos he’s a guy for crying out loud and they don’t usu. read between the lines, cos they are simple and that’s the way they were made.

From all this, what do you think this guy is most likely feeling and should I make the call? (I go shopping there from time to time).

I purchased wireless mobile broadband a couple of days ago and it does not work, most of the time I cannot use the internet and the one time it did connect the internet is really slow I cannot even watch videos on youtube unless I wait a half hour for it to load, also it will not work my xbox and it advertised it as compatable with it. Before I purchased the modem I asked could I return it she said If I had any problem with I was to ring their technical suppot team and if they could not help I could return it. She also said if I was having poor connection problems I could bring it back and get my money back. I rang their tech team and all they said is ”I’m sorry we are experiencing some difficulties” they took my number and said they would ring me back.

They never rang me back so I went back to the store and asked for a refund. I told him what was wrong he asked did I ring the technical support. I said ‘I did and they told me theyd ring me back and they never did’. He asked for my name and got his phone and wnt into the staff room. When he came back he told me he would not give me my money back. I said Why not is there no record of a call? He said there is but they have resolved he problem ( How can they lie and say they resolved the issue when they never rang me back ether that or he did not really make the call he was just trying to fob me off). He told me to ring the techies again, I said if they cant help then can I have my money back, he said they should sort you out.

When I got home I made a series of calls to the techies, Everytime I rang them and explained my problem they would hang up. I was getting the full run around as I had to go through my problem again and again as I was talking to a different person everytime and I was getting nowhere. They said that the connection is good in my area and there was should be no problem ( the maximum connection speed from their service is 7 I aint even getting half of 1). When I told them I cant even use the internet they would hang up.

I dont know what am I going to do they will cover their buts by saying Im getting good reception when Im really not I dont want to be left with this dud. I tried out another broadband service recently who had poor connection and I had no problem getting my money back without question. I dont feel I should have to keep there product which is clearly unsatisfactory.

I am going back to the shop tommarrow to tell them all the technical support team kept hanging up and are unable to help and that I want a refund.
If they refuse to give a refund what consumer acts should I quote???

I dont think it is, but I got a new phone today (its Virgin Mobile, Lg Optimus). I havent activated it yet, and my dad said we will have it activated starting May (since this month is ending anyways).
Since I havent paid the monthly 25 dollars for the service which includes web, while I wait till activate it, can I just activate Wi-Fi for the things that need an internet connection?
Will it be a violation?

ok so, my age is 20, my dad is a very nice guy and a very caring father, except for one thing. he has been flirting with other women who are in our family relation and not just like trying his luck out, its rather more like a extra marital affair. ok so initially he used to flirt around with my mom’s brother’s wife for like a long long time and my mom knew about it, all she could do was get angry or cry or ask him what is it i have not given u? i guess i was 15-16 when i kinda heard all this but pretended not to know about anything, cuz i dnt know how embarrased they would feel thinking thier kids knows about it. well i have read his mails with my aunt, fooling around with each other, though i did not tell my mom about it cuz i thought i mite ad fuel to the fire. that story is still kinda on i guess… but there is this all new affair that dad has got now i.e. my mom’s sister’s daughter, that is my cousin, she would be around 35 and is married and has a son of 12yr old.she lives in a different city. Actualy we have a boutique business where both my momdad work and she wants to start her own boutique up in her city, so she came here for like 15days to learn the whole thing, i study in a different city and that time i wasnt here to see the relation between them, so i cant tell u about that part but these days my dad is constantly on his cell phone msging her day and nite and infact yest he was online till like 3am and mom was wondering what he was upto, though i kinda judged. when today in morning i checked his account in one site form where you could send free msgs… he had like amost 30 msgs sent to her…and when i read them i was so shocked….one of his msg reads like "me tumhe sms se pareshan karne me laga raha aur sab aa gaye par me tumhare sath hoon doll pls blve me i love i love u men nahin socha k tum se bat nahin kar paoonga varna aisa mazak nahi karta me akela hi wlk par tha mene dil nahi toda doll blve me"

what i first did was copy pasted that in word file so he cant erase the proof. i am in no mood to tell mom about it and hurt her even more, i want to think of some way where i could get him to stop doing all this non sense and blackmailing him in some way, i haven’t even ever spoken about my bf’s to dad yet so i dont know how i’l deal with this.. plzz help me out and suggest what can i do about this….
see divorce is the last thing i ever want, and ‘divorce’ in India means ruining a family rather than moving on in life. And divorce after 21 years of marige isn’t a joke… and its not like dad doesn’t care for mom, he cares just so much for both of us just this one thing i want to get rid off. how about if i msg my cousin and tell her i know evrything so feels embarssed and breaks off with my dad, cuz i have no clue how can i even talk about this to dad cuz i myself am so embarssed..
and in reply to this guy ‘naph’ who is 22 now, i do not have any sibling besides i would not like to talk about it to anyone outside my family, even my cousin as it would ruin my dad’s image in front of them, and evryone loves my dad….so again i think i’ll have to decide on it by myselves..

As Per below the answers i got i had done the nessasary thgs as instructed to me,up to Part E: but in the the part E: i could not download the software due to have problem opening it, and can see the page you look is not available and says this page can be not dispayed,as if its the net has disconected, since am new i could not get much about installing ,since am new i dont know much about the codes, and how to install it,i have opened the Xterminal and typed as:STEP-F
start xterm (sorry, don’t know how the interface looks on OS2006…)
> sudo gainroot
> mkdir /src
> cd /src
> wget http://nmacleod.com/nokia/n800/microb_fl…
that would be nmacleod.com /nokia /n800 /microb_flash-4.2007.tar.gz,,but i could see file not found, after i typed sudo gain root, then i tried sudo, and then su also.pls Help
PN:Answerer 1
- which version of OS2006 do you have? the most recent one (& last OS200x / Mameo version supported officially on the 770 is v. 3.2006.49-2)
- did you go thru the whole thread?
– what browser do you have? it seems you also need to install microb (the newer browser that NOKIA developed for os200x / Maemo)
– the procedure such as described on the 1st post is apparently not correct (=> follow the thread to pick up the right steps…)
HTH
Additional
hi
two things here
1st, sorry to have to point this out :(
if a few (Linux / GNU) command lines throw you completely off maybe a (NOKIA) internet tablet isn’t the best choice as your "mobile internet device"
don’t misunderstand me: when they come out & you can use them the way NOKIA intended them to be used they are great devices, even for a non-technical user; alas, very quickly, technology moves on and so does NOKIA (the 770 was followed by the N800, which in turn was "upgraded to" the N810 which two yrs ago was replaced by the N900).
Maemo 5 has come a long way since OS2006, but still, it is "doomed"; everybody is talking about MeeGo now and NOKIA seems to have decided to build Maemo 6 based on MeeGo (and not Maemo 5) for the successor of the N900
putting MeeGo on the N900 is possible (like putting OS2007HE (Hacker Edition) on the 770) but it is not supported by NOKIA and requires thus "hacking skills", like the HE states.

2nd: (like i said under the link in source) the author of the thread is a sloppy guy, so it is to be expected that a unexperienced user can’t get it right

long talk, short conclusion(s):
to get the most out of your 770 you will need to crank up your Linux / GNU knowledge and skills.
i will try to get you thru this one and hope it will work for you:

/!\ i have pieced this together from the 1st link / thread underneath (see comment…) BUT I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A 770 TO TEST IT
YOU ARE THE GUINEA PIG /!\
STEP-A
installing the latest OS2006 (v. 3.2006.49-2 which you already did)
in case something goes wrong (browsers don’t open anymore, crashing aso.) this is your BACKUP:
install this again & you’ll have a clean start

STEP-B
WITH YOUR 770 go to this page http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS200… and click on the green install arrow on the right

STEP-C
WITH YOUR 770 go to http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS200… and click on the green install arrow on the right
STEP-D
WITH YOUR 770 go to http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS200… and click on the green install arrow on the right
STEP-E
WITH YOUR 770 go to http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS200… and click on the green install arrow on the right
CHECK-E
start the minimo (FireFox sort of based) browser & browse around some;
visit your favorite / needed sites (e-mail, blogs, forums aso.) to make sure
- it works (…)
- you feel you can live w/ minimo instead of Opera (flash 9 may or may not work w/ Opera)

STEP-F
start xterm (sorry, don’t know how the interface looks on OS2006…)
> sudo gainroot
> mkdir /src
> cd /src
> wget http://nmacleod.com/nokia/n800/microb_fl…
that would be nmacleod.com /nokia /n800 /microb_flash-4.2007.tar.gz
STEP-G
> cd /usr/lib/browser/plugins/
> mv libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so.v6
> tar xvzf microb_flash-4.2007.tar.gz -C /
STEP-H
> cd /usr/lib
> ln -s libplayback-1.so.0.0.4 libplayback-1.so.0
> ln -s /usr /lib /browser /plugins /libflashplayer.so /home /user /.mozilla /plugins /libflashplayer.so
(DO REPLACE " /" with "/" had to add the space ‘cuz ¡²³¤€½?¿ YAHOO!’s ¡²³¤€½?¿ automatic editing :@ )

STEP-J
> cd /src
> tar xvzf microb_flash-4.2007.tar.gz -C /
(it’s the same command as unde STEP-G indeed; seems to be needed)
CHECK-J
start minimo & visit a site w/ flash
youtube does not seem to perform well because of the limited memory / CPU speed & all of the 770
you may have to download such movies, close minimo & play them with MPLAYER or so
( http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS200… you know the drill)
i will not have tim

This happened over a year ago. Me and my babys father bought a cell phone, we both payed for it but i payed like 10 dollars more for it. he’s much older than me i’m in my early 20′s he’s in his early 30′s. He had a cell phone of his own and said that we were both gonna start using that one cell phone because of trust issues i had with him (which he never did he kept using his cell phone). well the night after we got the phone, he took it away from me cause he claims i was texting on it when i was just playin around on it seeing how it worked. (imagine he took the phone that we both payed for away from me like i was his child!). anyways though, so when he was out i found where he had the phone and took it back. when he came back home he saw that it was missing and asked for it back and when i wouldn’t give it to him, he went in my purse and took all the cash i had in there and said "when you give me the phone back, you’ll get your money back". that’s when i about had it and packed all my things so that i could go back home to my grandmothers house. when i was about to finally leave out the house i attempted to give the phone back so that i could get my money back cause i had no gas in the car and that was the only money i had and i lived an hour away. he wouldn’t give me my money, and said "i dont need the phone" basically saying he was gonna keep my money. so out of anger, when i walked by him i kinda shoved him with my shoulder, and he punched me as hard as he could with the side of his fist in my jaw. when i tried to fight him back (i know i shouldn’t have, but i was shocked and angry) he then grabbed me by the hair and drug me out the house. i was bleeding from my nose, not to mention a splitting headache, i was also 3 months pregnant and he knew. that happened beginning of 2010 and not a day goes by that i dont think about what happened. often i cry about it. he has also told me that he doesnt feel bad for what he did. but for some reason i continue to hook up and have sex with him. what should i do? shoul i just forgive and forget? do you think he thinks about what he did or feels bad for it?
i did call 911 but i guess they dropped the case since i never showed up for restrainig order court. and i could have been charged with assault also cause i shoved him first.
we dont live together or anything! we only hook up every once in a while.

Anyone knows the name of this song, it has a cool guitar and the lyrics start sort of like this "boom boom boom, bang bang bang, boom boom boom, hey yey" I just love the beginning of the song and want to hear it until the end. It’s not the official trailer, it’s the one you see in the dish network pay per view channels when you’re waiting for a movie to start and dish network is advertising the movie (Live Free or Die Hard).

My dad takes away my cell phone, computer,car keys and purposely takes the home phone with him to work so I cannot enlist. I’ll only have cash from my Pell Grant to use for pay-phone calls….that will be my last source.

Would the recruiter still go on with the enlistment process if I tell him that my dad is doing these things? I’m already 20….this proves my point!
Thing is, If available, I’m going to choose aviation b/c that’s what I like the best, it’s not even infantry. They see me as a grunt. I know they might be exposed to combat a little bit, but he doesn’t have to know that ;)
