    I have a couple of old, unused cell phones. I know the standard cell frequency isn't the same as wifi frequencies, but would it be at all possible to modify a cell phone antenna to transmit as wifi?

    Donate to a women's shelter if you don't find a use for them, they can be used as phones to call 911.

    I was thinking about donating them, but the screens don't work (one of the reasons I don't use them) but I guess that may not hinder dialing 911 too much.

    Yeah that probably is the only good use left for them beyond what you were thinking with the wifi thing.

    I actually want to try to install some other OS on them just to see whether I can. I'd like to mess around more with some of these old useless electronics I have to see what I can do.

    What phones are these? They sound like smartphones, except a broken screen would seriously hinder your ability to use them.

    I have a couple of old Samsung SPH-A460 phones back from when I first joined Sprint. I kept sending them in to be repaired, and they kept sending them back unfixed but saying they were fixed until I finally just got a new phone. I think the keypad on one may be busted too. So now I have 2 of these that are just sitting around. I have no idea what I'll be able to do with them, but I want to try something.

    Mexico is probably one of my least favourite places to travel in RDR.

    I don't think you'll be able to do much with a phone like that. I mean if you were an electrical engineer and you had experience developing your own Linux distros you might be able to do something, but otherwise no.

    If they're functional enough that you can dial 911 without a problem (a phone that only somewhat works would probably be pretty dangerous in an emergency situation) then donate 'em, otherwise I would recycle them. Sprint or Samsung probably have a program.

    Yeah, I'm not sure how functional they actually are, and would be hesitant to donate them for emergency use due to that.

    I know enough about linux to start me in the right direction really, and I've always wanted to learn more about electronics. Maybe I'll discover I can't really do much, but it seems like something that would be fun to look into at least.

    Unfortunately, due to economic circumstances out of our control we have been forced to reevaluate our debate threads and make cutbacks as necessary. One of the proposed redundancies the committee has found was the circumcision thread and Free Will thread. The committee feels that merger of the two would serve us better:

    I don't really know what the military does, but apparently I'm surrounded by beautiful women that I constantly see naked and have sex with.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    From what I can tell, it's a re-imagining / re-working of the original. Character backgrounds have changed, some scenes play out differently as a result. Might just be a movie, though I get the feeling it's trying to be a series also.
