A co-worker of mine is going to purchase a new PC, and has offered me his old one with everything minus the hard drives (a substantial upgrade from my current box). How difficult and what are the procedures for getting my hard drive (more specifically, my copy of XP) to boot the new machine? Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide. (Edit to say links to reputable guides on this sort of thing are just as good as answers and to remove redundant wording). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.222.160.8 ( talk) 01:20, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm... Now I have some pondering to do. Even if I purchase a new copy of XP I think it will still be cheaper than upgrading my current box (about the only part I want to keep is the case :)) Thank you all for taking time to answer my question. 161.222.160.8 04:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
You'll almost certainly have to re-install Windows, and nothing to do with licensing reasons. Your Windows simply won't have the correct drivers installed to talk to the new hardware. Your basic hardware (motherboard, controllers) are detected on installation, when the built-in Windows drivers are installed to interface with them. You'll have to run the setup again to go through this detection and installation phase. It will probably give you a blue screen at boot-up. Zun aid © ® 10:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

For work I have to use Windows 2000, and my job requires me to ALT-TAB through thousands of documents. I am starting to get RSI and I want to know if there's a way of reassigning the shortcuts so I can change it to something a bit easier to get to. Can this be done?
Thanks 195.60.20.81 12:13, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I agree with StuRat. Just press [shift] key on your keyboard for some eight or nine times continuously to activate it. Let us know if that is not what you want. -- Click me! write to me 07:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, but I'm not sure that will work. With Sticky Keys, the keys only stay down for one use before reverting. I need to use ALT TAB or CTRL F6 for hours at a time, and being able to change one or either of these shortcuts to something a bit easier (or even to rotate them so I'm not wearing out the same muscles/keys) would be really handy.

A keyboard macro program such as AutoHotkey will let you redefine practically anything to mean practically anything. It does require a basic level of programming skill, but it's almost certainly worth the investment in a case like yours. (The investment of learning time, I mean; the software is free.) -- BenRG 11:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello! Is there any free software, like Audacity, that can remove the vocals from an MP3 file to produce a karioke (pardon my spelling) track? Thanks!-- El aprendelenguas 15:57, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Audacity has a voice-removal plugin that basically automates the splitting, reversing, and remerging. In general, tracks with a lot of echo and/or special effects don't de-lyric nicely. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=editing&i=remove-vocals might help.

I have to write ASP.NET code on Windows for my job. Back at home, my computer is 100% Linux-only. My current distro, Fedora 7, comes with Mono pre-installed. Does this mean I could just take my ASP.NET code from work and have it work on my home Linux system as well? (Minus the Windows domain authentication of course.)

my computer uses FAT32 can I put NTFC software on its drive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.109.201 ( talk) 21:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Just a point in the case, popular distros of GNU/Linux may not support NTFS writing properly out of the box. I am not sure if it pertains to you,but just wanted you to know of the pitfalls. -- Click me! write to me 07:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Under Windows 2000 and XP (and maybe Vista for all I know), the command-line argument CONVERT will change your FAT32 drive to an NTFS drive. I have done this. You don't need to do it unless you know of a reason to do it. The reason I did it was that NTFS has better file and folder permissions abilities than FAT32. Tempshill 19:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm stuck on solving the two-nots problem. Does anyone know of a solution somewhere on the internet? Or maybe you could just help me here; I have it down to a very specific question.
KNOWING: A A' <--Important B C C' <--Important A+B A*B <--Somewhat important A+C A*C <--Somewhat important B+C B*C <--Somewhat important (A+C)' (A*C)' <--Possibly important
NOTING: (A+C)' = A'*C' per de morgan's laws (A*C)' = A'+C' per de morgan's laws
FIND: B'
I am totally stuck- I'm reasonably sure this is where I need to be but as far as I can tell there's no solution for B' that doesn't involve additional inverters.
To find A' and C' I went a really crazy roundabout way.. I found (A+C)' and (A*C)' first. I noted that:
For A: If (A+C)' is true then A must be 0 If (A+C)' is false then either A must be 1 or C must be 1 or both must be 1 so AC 01 10 11 A is only 0 when C is 1 and (A' OR C') A' = (A+C)' + C(A'+C')
For C: If (A+C)' is true then C must be 0 If (A+C)' is false then either A must be 1 or C must be 1 or both must be 1 so AC 01 10 11 C is only 0 when A is 1 and (A' OR C') C' = (A+C)' + A(A'+C')
So completely unnecessary since I could have just inverted A and C in the first place and easily had (A+C)' and (A*C)', rather than inverting (A+C) and (A*C) and going backward to A' and C'. But I'm hoping that something similar can be done for B'.. it doesn't work though, there's no definite solution :( pls? -- froth t 22:17, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

While tidying up credit card, I became rather curious how there can be multiple transaction processing networks, if any credit card number can be used to deposit money in any merchant account. Or is it that any merchant that advertises that they accept e.g. Visa, must be capable of using all of the networks that any Visa-affiliated card-issuing bank must use, and the various credit card associations have overlapping sets of networks that they require? Is there a canonical list of these networks which could be documented in Wikipedia somewhere? -- Beland 23:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
