    Backing up a phone before reset

    As an aside you might look into sms backup+. It is primarily for backup to gmail but it looks to allow backup to any imap server. It's much easier to search old messages from a mail interface than messaging interface.

    Backing up a phone before reset

    I think you would have future access to any files if you took a backup with Kies. It has been a while.

    Says it's compatible with many OSs old and new. Caveats on application compatibility. http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/170/NEF_Codec.html If that doesn't do it I give up. :)

    Do you already have software installed to open the raw file? If so you might only need to create an association for the file type. Some software (eg irfanview) has a section in options to manage association replacement by check box.

    I agree, the costs of maintaining the roads should be covered by the users of the roads with a small portion covered by the defense budget. The costs would then be built into the product price (say fresh produce), and would still make its way to the end user. You are right, it should be more...

    If NYC breaks off and leaves the US, who will pay for your urban transit services once the gas tax subsidy from the rest of the country is gone? If you can pay for it yourself, why can't you pay for it yourself now?

    Tesla doomed

    The manufactures buying credits from Tesla have additional options to meet the CA laws. They could make more and longer distance electric cars. Or they could sell fewer non-electric cars in CA. It's not just government-facilitated, it's government mandated.

    I'm not sure what you mean that Fortinet is expansive. I would trust Watchguard to replace my Fortiguards along with my other security mechanisms. For you my recommendation would depend on where device management or auditing of config changes is more important. We have a 4 eye rule so that every...

    I would assume authorization and the $1 hold would be enough for the bank to allow the transaction to complete later. All changing auth schemes I've worked with have count down timers so that you know when the number is about to flip. I would hope this card does too.

    The drinks with real sugar are less confusing to your body. Artificial sweeteners can have a disproportionate impact on weight gain than real sugar. I mainly drink water.

    Best movie you've seen

    We watched the first ep last night. Besides the main story I had this vague feeling of being educated about the progression of music from jazz to hip hop. But I'm afraid I'm below the threshold to get it.

    I bet they were sold to a storage vendor who had incompatibilities with the provided firmware. Drives with better firmware are cross shipped to the storage vendor and the incompatible drives are sold at a loss rather than trying to work them back into the supply chain. Check to see if a firmware...
