Where can I find a frequently-updated list of the top 100 most-vistited websites? I've found lists of best-rated websites, but no list that merely counts site hits and is up to date. Thank you for your help. RavenLuna 03:09, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm looking for a mid-level laptop that I would like to be able to do graphic editing (Photoshop CS3), web design and some mild gaming. The following laptop caught my attention: [1] I have a few questions:
Thanks a lot =) Acceptable 03:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
What about an AMD equivalent? How do the Turion chips compare to the Core duo's and the Core 2 duos? They usually seem a lot cheaper. Acceptable 15:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Personally I'll be much more worried about the RAM here then the CD. The CD is somewhat outdated but it isn't that bad. Nil Einne 23:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Is there anything like this in the computing industry? And if not, who are some likely candidates for it to start with? -- lucid 06:56, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I am using Cygwin and just realised that the Swedish characters on my keyboard aren't with me any longer (I think they have been before). I what way should I rub it to get it working? — Bromskloss 07:55, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

in cygwin to check your locale settings? Also, do you have the same problem in
cmd.exe? --

Anyone know of a good Free Software flash video player? I used to use flowplayer but the author has started including syndicated ads in it. I am talking about a flash movie that is embeddable in a web page, not a standalone desktop player. Thanks. -- Diletante 15:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I've been fooling around with the registry crashonctrlscrll for a while now, although I was wanting to do a bit more with my PC. Basically, render it "useless" (but not actually, just emulated). Is there a way to make insane error messages show up at mind boggling intervals (every minute maybe?), programs except the antivirus (and tasks that windows requires to run) to continuously quit out unexpectedly, with or without error messages, Windows display that window that it has to shut down messages, CD and DVD drives malfunction (like discs won't spin every other time they're inserted, drive bays won't open/close), and of course, Bsods. Please, no .bat files.
As unusual as this sounds, I'm trying to help my dad out with a computer seminar he's making. He works at the local community college and is giving a class on this kind of stuff. Thanks. -- TV- VCR watch 17:14, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
You're not getting the point. In a nutshell, I just want something i.e. a registry edit that generates errors, Bsods, etc. on it's own. I am not messing with this computer's internal parts, because it is sell-able. Who would want to buy a fried computer anyway? -- TV- VCR watch 00:38, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone no what the command for waiting until the screen refreshes in OpenGL (or GLUT)? I'm using gcc on FreeBSD if either of those matter (or if they don't, for that matter). — Daniel 22:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
