When I perform OCR in Adobe Acrobat Professional and choose Formatted Text & Graphics for output, part of an illustration will sometimes be recognized as text or white space. How can I mark off an illustration and tell Acrobat not to OCR it when it's doing the rest of the page? Neon Merlin 00:22, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
I just received this message on my browser ( FF): http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/241/ohshatoe2.jpg
Which is almost exactly the same as this: Image:Winantivirus.png
Ironically about a week ago I had read the
WinFixer article here. Before pressing any of the buttons I shut off my internet and then pressed the Cancel button, although I am still very worried. I did what the WinFixer article had directed me to, but am I safe? Please re-assure, I don't want to suddenly find my computer going haywire. --

What is it called when you make large letters out of capitalized letters? a capital "A" is made by using the capital A to make the shape of an 'A'
there must be some program out there to generate these automatically??
if this doesnt remove whitespace, the A, B would look like:
A BBBB A A B B AAAAAA BBBBB A A B B A A BBBBB
whats this called? thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bradz1234 ( talk • contribs) 04:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC).
ASCII art? -- Phoeba Wright OBJECTION! 04:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC) And "Figlet" can generate these-- 71.195.124.101 15:10, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
If you know Perl, the Text::Banner module will do this for you. -- TotoBaggins 02:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
...but two anti-virus programs, if installed together, will lead to endless conflict? -- Kaypoh 06:43, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
likely because, one, anti-spyware programs typically are ran once, and then turned off, whereas antivirus are running constantly, and because anti-viruses try to modify things that set the other one off. Why would you want more than one anti-virus though? If you need that level of security, you're probably better off using a more secure OS, such as a Live CD -- Phoeba Wright OBJECTION! 06:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
I know DDR2 isn't backwards compatible with DDR, but if I plug a 1066 DIMM into an 800 slot, will I have any problems other than the RAM being slower than it could be? I somehow missed this, even though I must've checked over the parts for this PC a dozen times =/ Should be an easy question, thanks -- Phoeba Wright OBJECTION! 06:57, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
I have a Firefox keyword search bookmark set up so that when I type 'wpgo pagename', it will bring me to the corresponding Wikipedia page, e.g. 'wpgo User:Harryboyles' brings me to my userpage. However this doesn't work for subpages. Firefox converts the forward slash to %2F
, which then causes Wikipedia to give a 404 error. I filed a Bugzilla request (bug 9204) but Brion said that it was a low level 'feature' in Apache and couldn't be fixed from them. Is there a way to make Firefox pass the forward slash as normal?

Hi, im looking for the safest and most reliable way to hide my real ip address. How would i go around doing this? just software? or more than that? THNX for any help. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by I.scheme.a.lot ( talk • contribs) 10:33, 28 April 2007 (UTC).
How do I use Sam Broadcaster to put an internet radio on my friends website? -- Candy-Panda 10:50, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Okay thank you! :) -- Candy-Panda 11:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know a free user-friendly program that lets you make music without the use of music instruments? -- Candy-Panda 12:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
There's mention that ExpressCard can use a USB 2.0 interface somehow. I don't quite understand what this entails. Does this mean that there exists an adapter that can take an ExpressCard and plugs into a USB 2.0 port and will then optimally run? What does this entail, exactly? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.49.243.244 ( talk) 15:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC).
Hey there wikifolks, I'm looking for a group discussion website to set up a uh... discussion group. I was thinking of just using Google Groups but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for alternatives? (it has to be free and online and has to allow private group discussions). Something which would allow some kind of visual mapping of member clusters would be ideal. Thanks very much for any suggestions! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.109.127.72 ( talk) 20:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC).
I have a bit of trouble finding out if XP can be installed on what is supposedly a 64-bit motherboard. Can anyone tell me? Specifically, this computer: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10086139&catid=22496&atab=3&logon=&langid=EN
Thanks! Richardmtl 22:10, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. I was talking about regular XP, not the 64-bit edition. Are there any potential problems/performance issues if I were to remove the Vista that comes with this system if I don't like it, and install XP? Any special drivers needed, or lost/reduced functionality that I can expect? Thanks again! Richardmtl 14:42, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
