Where to get a Cheap at&t phone with no camera or bluetooth?

I’m going to job corps and we’re not allowed to bring phones with camera, bluetooth, two-way radio or external memory capabilities. Where can I go to get one for under $100? PLEASE NO ONLINE SITES. I need to get it within 2 days so online ordering is not possible.

How do I clean the Sohanad virus off of my USB drive?

I was able to find some lovely instructions on how to rid my computer of the horrid thing manually, but the USB drive is still infected.

The autorun feature means I can’t keep using the drive on other computers without hassle, and now my CAMERA has it, too.

Please help!

My card was declined because I entered the wrong security code, should I still be charged a fee?

I recently tried to make a purchase and my card was declined because I entered the wrong security code. The companies policy is that all declined cards or bounced checks would have an additional 25$ put on the purchase. (I signed a contract agreeing to this) My question is, if I put the wrong security code causing my card to not run properly is that considered “declined” and should I have to pay this fee?
The charge is coming from the store, not my bank just to clarify. Thanks for the responses so far.

Can I use a Playstation 2 to USB Controller converter for PC?

I’m just wondering if there is any way to hook up a PS2 controller to my PC to use it on my emulator instead of using my keyboard.

ok, i’m at my wit’s end here. usb ports cant recognize flash drives? Details inside?

toshiba portege 3500 tablet pc

i’ve updated the bios from 1.2 to 1.4 (i think that’s the latest for 3500)

i have used one of these: http://www.mafianumerique.com/images/stlab_pcmcia_usb.jpg
pcmcia to usb hub

the sd card reader too doesnt work(built in)

only the usb mouse works

when i insert a flash drive, it detects the drive but it’s “not formatted”. the drives of course are fine with other computers.

i cant reinstall the operating system because it will not boot from the usb optical drive(without the usb floppy drive)

any ideas?
yes, i tried reinstalling the usb root hub and everything usb in the device manager. they are all re installed properly
the 1.2 bios didnt work so i updated it to 1.4
i;ve also installed and uninstalled daemontools as suggested by some article from the internet.

I recently aquired a second desktop pc in which I now have connected to the internet using a wireless router. I want to use my remote computer in simular ways that I use the base comuter for. How can I share the printer that is attatched to the base computer and can I also share programs from one computer to the other, and if so, how?
