My Structured Query Language, or MySQL, is a common open-source database management system that stores data in tabular format. This format works well to store information for website scripts such as shopping carts or content management platforms and, if your host provides database access, you can manually create and manage MySQL tables and fields within those tables. However, you will need to decide between using "mediumtext" and "text" field types when entering strings of data.
An unlocked cell phone has the ability to connect to any mobile carrier's wireless network, but it might not be able to use the full features of the new network. If you are having trouble downloading updates and applications using an unlocked cell phone, formatting the device to its factory settings may be necessary to resolve the issue. No matter what operating system is installed on your device, you can perform a factory reset, although the procedure is slightly different from one OS to another.
The Motorola SB5101 cable modem is a high-speed Internet modem that can be used in conjunction with a wireless router to deliver a high-speed wireless Internet connection. While the modem handles the Internet connection itself, your router of choice handles the security associated with the modem. If you have your Motorola SB5101 connected to a wireless router and the connection is locked, you and anyone else that wants to connect to the wireless access point will be unable to do so without knowing the router's passcode. If you unlock the device, however, you access the router's connection without entering a…
Phone and modem isolators are telephony devices placed between a telephone and modem and an outlet to protect and isolate the device. There are a number of reasons to use an isolator on a telephone or modem, and several types of isolators designed to fit these uses. Before choosing an isolator for a specific phone or modem, it’s important to know just how the isolator affects the device connection, and its effects on other devices on the same telephone grid as the isolated device.

Your website's visitors could come from any part of the world and speak any number of languages. If you want to retain visitors who speak a language other than the one you used to originally write your text, your website has to be able to adjust to individual users. Drupal's "T text" or "t()" function allows you to make your site automatically change pre-specified text components to match a visitor's language.
Lightbox is a script you can use to overlay images on your Web pages. You can also overlay text if you use a modified version of the script. If you don't want to use a script on your iWeb site but you still want to display lightbox-like text, you can use Cascading Style Sheets. The CSS method is not as customizable as the actual Lightbox script, but it will allow you to display Lightbox-like text and images properly.
Whether it's to retrieve an important deleted message or to check up on someone else's activities, you may want to retrieve deleted text messages from your LG phone. If you don't have the SIM card for the device, it gets a bit trickier, since the text data is often stored there. Some LG phones allow you to choose whether to save your messages and other data on either your SIM or the device's internal memory; if you've chosen the latter, you may be able to retrieve those text messages with the help of a data recovery service.
By default, Java is unable to work with Flash SWF files. SWF files are Adobe Flash files that contain multimedia, vector graphics and ActionScript. However, a pack of functions is available on the Web that extends the functionality of Java and enables you to work with Flash files. For example, it can help you parse the SWF file and read all text. You can then use the text in your other Java functions. All you have to do is download the source files and link to them in your Java application.
3G speeds are possible because of a technology known as the "GPRS Core Network." This network is responsible for handling data packets that are constantly flowing in and out of the network, both from individual phones and transmitters. By learning about the components of the GPRS Core Network, you will gain a greater understanding of how your service provider keeps all of this data flowing smoothly.
When users push the send button on some cellular phones, the phone completes a complex process that allows the device to attach to a general packet radio service, or GPRS, cellular network. The mobile station, or MS, attaches to a serving GPRS support node, or SGSN. After initiating the attachment procedure between the MS and SGSN, the network assigns a packet temporary mobile subscriber identity and a temporary logic link identifier to the mobile station. At the conclusion of this process, mobility management information is sent back to the cellular phone using the GPRS network.
Instead of transmitting or recording information as a steady stream of binary code, interleave coding takes the data and shuffles the binary bits in various ways, so that different stretches of code become intermingled. This process makes it much easier to detect copying errors in binary code, such as when a 1 gets substituted for a 0.
Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router with VPN is a business series router with a number of configuration settings that allow you to customize every aspect of the router. The router comes with a Web-based utility that can be used to modify these configuration settings and that can be accessed by any device connected to the router's wireless-access point. If you want to access this Web utility from a cell phone connected to the router's access point, you can do so through the device's Web browser.
The Samsung Vibrant is an Android-enabled smartphone sold exclusively by T-Mobile in the United States. At times, the phone can brick or lose all functionality. Bricking usually results from the installation of custom modifications to the Android operating system. Samsung offers a Windows-based tool called Odin that restores the phone from brick mode. However, you can also unbrick the phone by accessing the recovery mode without the use of the Odin tool.
Zen Cart is a free, open-source Web store management system. It uses PHP, MySQL databases and HTML components to provide a shopping cart, newsletter manager and coupon system. Store owners can also customize the default Zen Cart interface to match the rest of their site, changing background colors, images and template size, as well as font size, face and style. Changing the text in your Zen Cart installation requires a little knowledge of CSS and HTML, but doesn't have to be difficult.
The Nokia 5230 is compatible with GPRS technology, which lets users browse the Internet. GPRS usage should only be turned off if you don't need to access your Web browser or any applications that communicate with a server. If you go out of range of the GPRS network, your connection may not work even though you have enabled GPRS usage.
A recent article in Business Week points out that digital camera sales are declining while the numbers for smartphones continue to surge. One obvious conclusion that can be taken from this is many people are deciding their phones are all that they need for pictures. For many people, a phone can be a smart choice. You give up little compared with a digital point-and-shoot camera.
Modern cell phones are far more than simple communication devices: you can use them to browse the web, view news headlines and get directions. A cell phone with GPS allows you to use your location to find nearby areas of interest and to connect with friends. With the right setup, you can even track your phone from a computer, which can be invaluable if you've lost your phone or if it's stolen. You must have GPS enabled on your phone for these features to work.

According to "The Economist," there were over 4.6 billion camera phones in use as of April 2010. With cell phone users increasingly using their devices as both digital cameras and photo albums, it is important to be able to create a back up of the memories you have captured with your device. Regardless of your mobile operating system of choice, you can back up your device's photos via the Windows AutoPlay window.
Mobile computing is moving toward strictly cloud-based storage and backups, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to create a backup that is stored locally on your computer's hard drive. The three major mobile platforms -- iOS, Android and BlackBerry -- still provide the option to create a back up of your contacts and save it on a physical hard drive, but the steps are slightly different depending on your mobile platform. IPhone and BlackBerry devices allow you to create a backup by connecting via a physical cable, but you must back up an Android device through a cloud-based Google account.

Changing your wireless provider from Cricket to another CDMA network is a fairly simple and fast process. Your Cricket phone has an ESN, or electronic serial number, embedded by the manufacturer -- all CDMA cellphones once had these, although they are being replaced by Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) numbers. These are different from the Mobile Identification Number, which is determined by Cricket. You'll need your ESN to unlock your phone -- although "unlocking" typically refers to phones on the GSM network, which use SIM cards, while reprogramming phones on CDMA networks such as Cricket use the term "flashing."
Changing your wireless provider while keeping your favorite Motorola phone is a simple and fast process. Using Motorola unlocker software takes the guesswork out of trying to unlock the phone yourself. The software finds the proper unlock code and enters it into your phone's programming to unlock it to work with any GSM wireless provider—these are the networks that require SIM cards. Make sure to have your new SIM card ready to install as soon as the unlocker completes its process.
The jQuery language includes a pop-up function that opens a window within the current browser window for the user. You use these windows to display data to the user without refreshing the screen. You can avoid "blanking" out the text by setting the opacity of the window. A lower opacity setting makes the text visible behind the pop-up window.
The LG Incite smart phone runs on the Windows Mobile operating system. If the LG Incite begins acting up or you simply want to clear all of its data, you can do so by hard resetting the phone. In order to restore the phone with a hard reset, however, you need to know your restore code, which is the same code used to unlock the phone.
MMI stands for “Man-Machine Interface” and refers to the series of numbers or text entered into your phone to perform actions. Theses MMI codes typically start with an asterisk and end with the pound symbol. This prevents the phone from interpreting the information entered between these symbols as a phone number you are trying to call. If you’re on a call, you cannot access MMI codes. Many of these codes are programmed into your phone by the phone company. Your user manual will define those for you.
Your Facebook (FB) social networking profile lets you keep your family members and friends up to date on your latest thoughts and events, but it also includes features similar to those of an email client. Your profile includes three main FB folders for storing messages that people send directly to you rather than posting in the news feed for everyone to view. These folders give you the ability to view or respond to personal messages, mass emails or specific event notifications.
TextPad itself doesn't have an encryption feature or add-on, but that doesn't mean you can't read encrypted messages in the program. By using separate encryption software, you can decrypt and read messages through TextPad or any Windows Notepad alternative. Before you get started, find out from the sender which encryption method or program was used and what password is needed to decrypt the contents
Not so long ago, when the Internet was still relatively new, creating schematics in image format and sharing them with other people on bulletin boards was a difficult undertaking. A far more pragmatic approach used ASCII symbols and characters to portray schematics. Still preferred by many today, ASCII schematics prove easy to make, read and share with others.
Functional text is everywhere you look. It is an inescapable presence in our daily lives. As implied by its name, functional text is text that serves a specific, concrete function -- and one that is instructional or informative rather than expressive. Common examples of functional text include instructions and manuals, maps and schedules, forms, templates and advertisements.
Antivirus and antimalware protection is important for modern computers, especially if those computers connect to the Internet. Different antivirus companies add unique features and software components to their products in an attempt to provide extra value to their customers. One such feature is "Light Silent Mode," a special protection mode offered in Norton antivirus products.
You can use a free service called MightyText to synchronize the Google Chrome Web browser with your Android Tracfone and read your text messages online. You can even send and respond to text messages from the MightyText application on your computer, as MightyText can also access the contacts stored on your phone. Text messages display simultaneously in the desktop application and on your phone, meaning that you will not miss any messages as you are using either version of the program.
Knockout text, or reversed type, is a font style in which white or light text appears knocked out of a dark background creating a stark, stencil-like contrast between the text and its surroundings. Although knockout text is used in various media, it is employed only to draw a person’s attention to a specific point, such as the title of a document, book or brochure, a word or line from a section of text or words on a photo. A basic method exists to create knockout text. As a result, you can usually create and use it quickly as desired in…
Extensible Markup Language editors can help you learn XML if you don't know it -- and teach you how to write it more productively if you do. XML, a markup language used widely on the Web, consists of tags similar to those found in HTML. If you're learning the language, you might find it helpful to use text editors that highlight errors automatically. Some programming Integrated Development Environments, such as Visual Studio, have built-in editors that flag mistakes. You can download stand-alone XML editors that work just as well.
If you have a cell phone designed to work with CDMA networks such as Verizon and Sprint, you can likely flash it, or reprogram it, to work with the MetroPCS network. Flashing requires you to overwrite your phone's existing network programming to recognize MetroPCS cellular towers instead. The CDMA network relies on internal programming to connect to a network. This is different from the GSM network, with carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile, which uses SIM cards to connect to cell towers. Several online retailers offer software to help you flash your CDMA phone to MetroPCS at home.
Anchor text is the jumping-off point in a hyperlink redirect action. While the word or words you designate as anchor text are important in determining how search engines such as Google and Bing rank your Web page, underestimating the importance of what is happening behind the scenes can result in good anchor text's not receiving “link juice” credit. Because URL shorteners change the path anchor text uses to guide you to a destination page, it is possible for a URL shortener to affect ranking.
Syncing an LG phone you purchased from MetroPCS will update the media stored on the phone, but it won't affect rather than the phone's operating system firmware, which permits it to be used on the MetroPCS network. You can sync an unlocked MetroPCS LG phone with your computer, even if it's been "flashed" to change its operating system firmware so it can be used on a different carrier's network. The sync process will not lock the phone or undo the flashing process.
Your inability to get a Sprint-provided cell phone’s music files to play on your computer can be the result of many issues, none of which are beyond your ability to resolve. Sprint offers phones from a variety of manufacturers, including BlackBerry, Samsung and Apple. Most of these phones come with personal audio player applications.
When cell phone manufacturers started producing devices capable of basic Internet access, the wireless infrastructure that carried cellular service was not ready to provide enough bandwidth to support Web access. The Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) lets phones work around this problem by condensing Internet data so the existing infrastructure could handle it. This workaround was no longer necessary after the development of Third Generation (3G) wireless networks.
A telephone privacy block is designed to prevent a Caller ID subscriber from seeing your phone number and name on the phone display when you call the subscriber’s phone. Instead, “Anonymous,” “P” or “Private” may appear on the Caller ID or the call may reject if the subscriber has Anonymous Call Block service. Privacy block is available in two forms: per-call blocking and per-line blocking. The first form allows you to attempt to manually block your call information on individual calls. The second form automatically attempts to block your information on every call and is the form you can temporarily…
When you accidentally delete important emails from your XFinity Comcast mail account, there is hope for email recovery. Whether or not deleted emails can be copied back to the Comcast Server all depends on where the emails are deleted from and your mail preference settings. If your deleted emails are not recoverable, take action to ensure your emails are protected from future deletion.
VIPRE Email Security, formerly known as Spam Ninja, is a commercial add-on for Microsoft Exchange email servers that automatically filters unsolicited messages and sends them to a dedicated spam folder. If you want to remove an email from the spam folder, known as the "Blocked Senders" folder, you can do so by removing the sender from the database.
One of the main features of Mutt, an email client for Unix systems, is its ability to decrypt and encrypt messages in real time. The default configuration of the program does not allow it to display unencrypted message attachments. You can, however, instruct Mutt to automatically decrypt such attachments by editing the program's main configuration file.
ICQ lets you send free SMS text message to your buddies' mobile phone numbers if you aren't able to chat them via their ICQ screen names. Determine why you aren't able to send SMS text messages via ICQ and then resolve the problem to resume being able to text via ICQ.
Ideally, every website on the Internet would be designed so that all text and graphics fit on one screen. In most cases, sites will limit the necessary scrolling to moving the screen up and down. If the site's information is cut off on the right side, you can use either a scrollbar or the arrow keys to move the screen to the right.
Global Systems for Mobile Communications, or GSMC, refers to a second-generation, digital cellular frequency technology originally developed to replace first-generation analog technology. GPRS, or General Packet Radio Service, is essentially a second- and third-generation upgrade that offers much higher data transfer rates than GSM. Both are still widely in operation.
