I'm betting it's not, but is it possible to install a working version of Linux on a Motorola Razr? Now, this thing only has 8mb of flash storage, so I'm not gonna get my hopes up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.195.124.101 ( talk) 01:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC).
Do a Google search and see if anybody has done it. I put Linux on the ps3, but it required a very detailed recipe, backed up by a lot of experience. -- Zeizmic 14:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Is it necessary to have Blackberry Enterprise Server(BES) between a MDS application and its application server. 203.99.195.190 04:19, 17 April 2007 (UTC)+
1. What is the difference between multi-user operating systems and single-user operating systems that support networking? 2. List out the differences between SATA and PATA. (Include advantages of using SATA) 3. There's a similarity in the hardware architecture of Psp 3, Xbox 360 and Wii.
4. What are the possible connection interface for internal peripheral? List at least 4 of them and give examples of the peripherals that uses this type of connection. Please help! -- 218.186.9.1 08:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I need to know why they are close and have the heatsink together.
I have a Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 box which is displaying rather odd behaviour regarding the IP configuration on its ethernet port. Formerly the box was configured to acquire its IP via DHCP, but I've now changed it to a fixed address. So now /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 reads:
DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no PEERDNS=no TYPE=Ethernet NETMASK=255.255.255.0 IPADDR=192.168.0.3 GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
If I do if down eth0 followed by if up eth0 then ifconfig correctly shows it's got the .3 IP address, and indeed it does. But a couple of days later I it's got .100 instead (an address in the range given by the DHCP server). So somehow it looks as if a DHCP lease is expiring and its renewing it, even though it's configured for a static address. Is there any other config file I need to change, or do I need to restart something other than just do the ifdown/ifup in order to get the change fully obeyed? Thanks.

Hey there, a couple of problems.
1) I want to listen to a couple of MP3s in reverse, ie, playing backward. How do I do that? I tried to find a way to do this using everyone's favourite player, VLC, but to no avail. WMP and RMP don't have such an option as well. Is there a player out there that can do so?
2) I have loads of videos in the AVI format and in the Winamp Media Format. Is there any way I can edit these, with a freely available software? eg I want to cut away a few seconds of video from the start of the video, and from between. How can I manage this?
Thanks in advance.

Wow. Thanks for the quick reply, mate. For Audacity, is any part of it on a trial basis? Most iportantly, the Lame MP3 Encoder? Meaning, its ability to encode MP3s won't expire after a week or so, after which I would have to buy it?
And any tips on using VirtualDub? Beacuse I have no previous experience in editing videos.
Thanks again.

I'll check that out, thanks. And no, I'm not Australian. That's just a habit I picked up. Believe it or not, I'm a Pakistani. [:)]
I had created many macros in VBA to use in excel a few months ago and protected them with password.Now i am trying to edit them but could not remember the password.Is there any way to open the macros and edit them or retrieve the password? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.70.64.15 ( talk) 17:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC).
I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop with what I assume is an LCD screen. What product(s) should I use to keep it clean? Wipes? Fluid and cloth? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 164.11.204.51 ( talk) 19:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC).
(We just answered this question somewhere, probably on this reference dsk; look back for more opinions.)
Whatever you decide to do, don't press too hard. LCD screens are made of thin glass sheets which distort under pressure and the screens can be permanently damaged by pressing too hard. Modest pressure and an appropriate cleaning liquid is all you should need to clean the screen. Apply the liquid to the wiper and not the screen (to minimise the chance of liquid running into the electronics driving the screen).

What a bunch of very odd answers! To the asker, visit the dell support website, and try find out how it recommends you clean your LCD screen - last I checked it recommends you buy a special LCD cleaner solution, and I would then use a microfiber cloth. Truth is you would "get away" with using toilet paper and other nonsense, but first of all your screen is sensetive to moisture, and secondly the toilet paper is likely to be too rough. If any of you are glasses-wearers, you should notice a huge difference between cleaning your glasses with a microfiber cloth, and cleaning them with toilet paper - after a while there's a major difference! And just to re-iterate, in theory, toilet paper causes scratches. Rfwoolf 02:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi. It is clear to me that Google has enormous power in the Internet so its founders must be really wealthy but... the thing is that I cannot actually see how it generates money. It is just from advertisements? Thanks for your help and time. -- Taraborn 22:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you!!! -- Taraborn 09:43, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
