Hi Tim,

From what I understand, SkypeOut only works when dialing numbers from Skype (desktop or mobile). I don’t think there is a number you can dial from a regular landline first, like a calling card.

Skype does have a “Skype To Go” service which sounds more like what you are describing – is this what you are looking for? http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/skype-to-go-number/

Cheers,

Scott

Hi Scott, I have a SkypeOut account and was living in Toronto but finally moved back to Halifax. I have the Toronto SkypeOut number to make calls to any number, but I have lost the local Halifax SkypeOut number when my phone broke. If you could provide it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
- Tim

Saw this from my balcony too, the guy driving the car stopped in front of my apartment building on main and then took off as fast as he could over away from the houses! I saw flames coming from under the car and then the guy stopped and started getting stuff out of his trunk! While the car was burning, as the tires burnt, they popped one by one and they sounded like gun shots! Fire department got there just in time too! Pretty intense to watch!

Fonts…. Fonts on a computer and therefore typography as we know it, in fact the entire publishing industry, was fundamentally changed because Steve asked his programmers to make fonts.

Comment on Does anyone else find the iTunes Store confusing? by Tuser

I totally agree and the pricing issue is of real concern. iTunes and it’s ease of use is pretty much the only reason I prefer apple products. It is far cheaper MOST of the time to buy the DVD or Blue Ray than to download the digital version. A lot of movies are coming out with a digital copy and even some of these are cheaper than buying through iTunes. As soon as a healthy easy to use low cost competitor comes into the digital download sector, iTunes will have to rethink it’s pricing policies, until the the profiteering will continue and gladly this will only make it easier for competition to jump in.

Hi Ed, you are able to re-enable display discovery if you so choose.

Console Settings > Display > Display Discovery > Enable.

Comment on How to install uTorrent on your WHS box by Scott

Seems capitalization is also important — for me, the regedit file needed to show as uTorrent, not utorrent (capital “T”). This reflects the exact syntax per the install in the program files directory for uTorrent.

I messed around for quite a bit — I think this was the fix.

Good question… I don’t actually check

Googles indicate it’s about 25mb/hour for voice.
