I am using windows xp. How can I check my svchost has not been hijacked? it seems very busy.. Kittybrewster ☎ 02:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Whats the difference between a flash memory nano and a hard drive classic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.154.102.58 ( talk) 03:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I heard that some schools are using programs or some way to monitor everything a user does on a network. How is this done? And if possible, are there any popular known programs that do this? Thanks, Valens Impérial Császár 93 04:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I have this computer with the NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS TurboCache with PureVideo technology graphics card. Is this sufficient for hi-end games or should I look to change it? Could anyone tell me if the motherboard could take 2 graphics cards as I have an old computer which had 2 graphics cards, I don't know how good but the other computer is but it is not very old and was pretty expensive. Also, I have 3GB of RAM - Do you know if I could stick in another 1GB and if it would be any advantage? (I am running Vista) My old computer was an Evesham Axis Dominator Plus if that helps. I couldn't easily find what graphics cards I had in my old computer, so if anyone knows it would be useful to know even if I could not put them into my new computer.

On a WHOIS what does "ERROR: IP Range Reserved by IANA.org" mean? DuncanHill ( talk) 13:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
The WHOIS link on IP talkpages now goes through Sam Spade.org [1] instead of DNSstuff.com. Apparently, DNSstuff.com changed their business model some months ago. [2]. I'm not sure what this error means, as you can run the same IP through DNSstuff.com age get a valid return. For example; User talk:78.146.191.98 gives the error with Sam Spade [3] bur returns properly with DNSstuff [4]. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 18:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I thought the whole point of SVG images was that they didn't pixelate and look all ugly when you blew them to big sizes. So what's going on here? — An gr If you've written a quality article... 20:55, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I've been trying to make my Java program beep by outputting (char)7, but I don't hear anything. My headphones work fine, since I can listen to music, so I figure it's something in the computer. Any ideas? Black Carrot ( talk) 21:53, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
What should I do to make it beep audibly, then? Black Carrot ( talk) 23:11, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
instead - that plays whatever the platform thinks an alert sound is (for me, on XP, it's a dull Bonk sound, as set by the sounds applet in the Windows Control Panel). If you want more control than that, you'll need to play a sound clip yourself using javax.sound - see

Talk 23:31, 9 December 2007 (UTC)A non-beep sound would work, too. I'm just trying to get a rough metronome-type thing set up in it. Black Carrot ( talk) 23:12, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

long nextBeep = System.currentTimeMillis();
for (int x = 0; x < 20; x++) { // 20 beeps
myclip.setFramePosition(0);
myclip.start();
nextBeep += 1000; // 1000ms == 1 second
long delay = nextBeep - System.currentTimeMillis();
if (delay > 0)
Thread.sleep(delay);

nextBeep = System.currentTimeMillis(); // we're late, catch up!

Is there something on IRC that can tell you which channels you've been banned from? Vitriol ( talk) 22:11, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I have a video that is in, as it says in the properties, MPEG-4 (.mp4) format. It works on my PSP prefectly. I have another video that is in the exact same format as it says in the properties. However, this one isn;t supported by my PSP. I know that there are many different types of MPEG-4 subformats, such as part-14 and part-10, and I am under the understanding that the PSP only suports part-14. Maybe this is the problem, if the 2nd video is in part-10 or something. However, when I go to convert the 2nd video on PSP Video 9, it is not supported there, and it will not convert. What should I do, and why will it not play on my console? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.23.77.208 ( talk) 23:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
How would I fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.23.77.208 ( talk) 00:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
