“Secret” codes of Symbian-phones

There are some useful secret codes for Nokia S60’s phones to get information about the system, such as IMEI and the software version. To enter the codes, the phone must be in the standbyscreen (not in the menu screen).
With standby screen, I mean the screen that shows e.g. the Active-Standby.
*#0000# – Display the software version, the date when the software was built and the phone model. In most cases, the phone model is not the one used by marketing. It is the internal model used inside Nokia. For example, RM-92 is the internal name of Nokia N80.
*#06# – Display the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identify) of your phone.
*#2820# (*#BTA0#) – Display the Bluetooth device address of your phone.
*#62209526# (*#MAC0WLAN) – Display the MAC address of the WLAN adapter. This is available only in the newer devices that support WLAN.
*#7370# (*#RES0#)- Reset your phone to the default factory settings. Usually you will need this code when you want to reset your phone back to the same condition when you got it for the first time. When the phone ask for security code, the default one is 12345.(if the code is wrong, you’ll have changed it)
Warning: Before you do reset the phone, make sure that you don’t have important data. Your data on the phone memory will be lost once you reset it.
*#92702689# (*#war0anty#) – Display the life timer information of your S60 phone, i.e. the total time of phone call (in minutes). Some people have asked how to reset this timer; as far as I know the only way to reset it is by reflashing the phone.
*#7780# (*#rst0*) – This will soft reset your phone. It is different from *#7370# because all data, like contacts, calendar and notes, are not removed. It will only reset the phone settings, such as profiles, themes and shortcuts. The default lock code is 12345 again.
There is another key combination which is used to hard reset the phone (similar to #*7370). It is useful in some cases, for example when the phone cannot reboot. The trick is by switching off the phone then press and hold Call key (Green key) + * key + 3 key + power button for a couple of seconds.

Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard


I invented this game (with Karen Bryla) because it seems like when you know someone well enough, 75-80% of any Rock-Paper-Scissors games you play with that person end up in a tie. Well, here is a slight variation that reduces that probability. (Note that for those of you who like to swing your fist back and forth and say, "Rock, Paper, Scissors, GO!", might want to continue to do that, replacing "Rock" with "One," "Paper" with "Two," and "Scissors" with "Three.") This version is also nice because it satisfies the Law of Fives.

Debian Is the Most Important Linux

Without Debian we are nothing. Debian is the most influential and important Linux, and is unique for being the largest, oldest, 100% non-commercial community-driven distro. '...just under 63% of all distributions now being developed come ultimately from Debian. By comparison, 50 (15%) are based on Fedora or Red Hat, 28 (9%) on Slackware, and 12 (4%) on Gentoo.
