Can This Power Supply Work In South Korea

Can This Power Supply Work In South Korea?
I'm in South Korea now and I'm worried about plugging in my (US made) desktop that runs on 120V. In Korea they use 240V in all power outlets, so I was wondering if it would be sufficient to get a power cord that can handle that, or if the hardware itself couldn't handle that power. My computer uses this as it's power supply: HP 460W POWER SUPPLY 5188-2862 24-pin If you can tell me what I can do to make sure it doesn't blow out when I plug it in, I would appreciate it.

this psu has an input voltage switch just under the power plug (this little red switch). this switch has 2 positions: 1. 100 - 127V input 2. 200 - 240V input if you are in Korea you have to set the switch on 200 - 240V and you can use a cord for korean outlets. don't forget to switch it back to 100 - 127V if you're back at home.

Does iPhone work in South Korea

Does iPhone work in South Korea?
I have a 16GB iPhone 3G-S on 3.1.3 jailbroken but not unlocked. With that said I am going to Korea to visit my dad for a month. Of course my phone is very important at the airport or if I happen to get lost. I want to know if my phone will work over there. People tell me, and I've read, that it will, I just get roaming charges of $3/min (complete bullshit AT&T). I want to know if there's a way I can make a call like normal if needed. Also, does anyone know the data charges?

If you have ffelp loans there are plenty options out there...forbearance, hardship deferments, etc....however if u have a private loan there are NO options out there.....

The way to find out your options is to call the department of education. They can discuss options for repayment. You can get income-based rates, defer to interest-only payment, forbearance, etc. The only way to find out is to call.

I have recently applied for work in South Korea. I have been offered a job and have sent all my documents...?
to Korea. My problem is this. I have quite a poor transcript. I eventually finished my degree but not in what you would call a wonderful fashion. I also have a clean criminal record etc, have already signed the contract, I was never asked asked during the process how long it took to complete my degree so I never said. Korean Immigration have come back asking for specific dates about how my work history etc, which I have provided. I also took 4 years out of university to work. Is this going to stuff up my chances????

If you posess a degree - or any other qualification - then you'll already be ahead of the masses when it comes to looking for professions. My pal has a degree and he wasn't sure what direction to go with it, but he uncovered some great tips and tricks on the resource in the resource box below which guided him to settle that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is a lot of help on the resource regarding other professions.
