I saw a "telephone" font-character once in a Wikipedian's signature; it was actually the shape of a rotary-style phone. Is that a Unicode character? And what's the code to recreate it without tracking it down and rigorously copying and pasting? -- 128.113.149.103 00:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I have an USB-connected external hard drive. If i back-up all my files onto it, will I be able to boot and run my computer from the external hard drive if someday my internal hard drive malfunctions? If so, is there any additional procedures I must undertake for this to work? Thanks. Jamesino 02:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
My ISP (MTNL, India) provides ADSL internet connections. With the package, they also provided an ADSL Router to me. Now, what I am supposed to do is, take the jack of my phone line, put it in the router, and connect the ethernet/usb to my computer. That works just fine. However, I wish to make this a wireless connection. I have heard a lot about "Wireless Routers", but I cannot find any details on them. Are they compatible with ADSL ? Or I still need to keep my ISP's router ? Also, my desktop pc has no provisions for wireless internet, from the hardware side. So, will the wireless router have ethernet ports as well, to provide for the older desktop pc ?
Thanks ! -- RohanDhruva 03:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
You could run into problems here. I would suggest that you use this great resource and read up on router, etc. You have to assess exactly what you have before you can move on. -- Zeizmic 13:32, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I need to figure out how a checksum is made. An UDP data field has two bytes for a checksum, a x0A byte, a byte with the length of the rest of the data, and the then an arbitrary sequence of alphanumeric characters (let's call this sequence X)
Example (hex): 6D 85 0A 61 (X = "a", in this case, because a=x61)
I've captured the following checksums (hex), function of X:
X 1st B 2nd B a 6D 85 b 6E 86 c 6F 87 1 3D 55 2 3E 56 aa CF 5B ab D0 5C ca D1 5F cb D2 60 bb D1 5E wv FA 9C ww 00 9D aaa 36 94 baa 37 97 caa 38 9A bda 3A 9F aaaa 98 35 baaa 99 39
It's easy to see that incrementing by 1 any of the characters of X will increment by 1 the first byte and by y the second byte, where y is the position of the changed character, counted from the end. The 'wv'->'ww' example also give an idea on how it "resets" the byte. I can't, however, find the general rule and help on that direction would be appreciated. Thanks -- Cataphract 03:32, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
0x0A
is part of the string. Now I'll take a look at the second checksum byte. --

Hello again im wanting to see if i can intall a 1GB DDR RAM module into the chipset described in the subject. I am unsure if it would work for my motherboard, However i do have a 2.4GHZ pentium 4. Would it be a good idea to install the 1GB module into that chipset if anyone happens to know about those chipsets/motherboard.-- Biggie 06:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
i look on device manager and click the system devices but im not sure which one of those devices is the motherboard. I need to know the keywords in that system device menu to figure which one is the motherboard.-- Biggie 06:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I posted this question yesterday but discovered today it had been deleted, without apparent explanation. If I am doing something wrong here, will the person responsible for deleting my post please have the Cojones to advise what the problem is? I am getting utterly fed up with Wikipedia for this and similar behaviours by some (though clearly not all) of it's "editors". I repeat the question here: I use MS Office Professional at home and whenever I open MS WORD I see a column on the RHS that lists a selection of previous documents that I may not want other household users to view. How can I empty or remove that list of saved or archived documents please? Thanks in anticipation.
Hello! Can I somehow close an alert dialog box from my script, without user having to press OK?
Maybe there is some method, for closing it. I have a script auto-submitting some values through a browser window. It worked fine, but now the designers of the site changed it a bit, and the page that is shown after submitting the form, pops up an alert saying that data are accepted. So my script cannot proceed any further until the user clicks OK, and, since there is no user, the script is stuck on it. Can I close the box from my script (which is currently written on Visual Basic)?
Alternative approches that I can think of, can be: 1. Using HTML-filtering engine such as Proxomitron to filter out the alert code 2. Killing the browser application forcibly each time after submitting a form, and opening it again to procees the next one.
Any solution which is simpler and more straigt-forward than those, will be very appreciated. The browser is IE, but I can switch to any other if it turns out I can use it for this task. You might ask, why I don't just POST those data from a perl script without use of any browser. The reason is that I use some scripts from the page where the form is situated. If I did it without a browser, I would need to emulate those scripts.

Are there any free portable app web browsers for Macs?
'SPYDAWN' Does anyone have any idea how to remove SPYDAWN software? It showed up on my browser and I cannot remove it. When I open internet explorer, instead of my normal homepage, it goes to this crap. Some sort of website touting spyware. Pop ups, a different tool-bar. A real pain in the arse. When I go to programs, and try to uninstall, it says it can't remove because it's in use. I believe it's a program designed to get me to purchase software to remove itself. Here is a virus, for 19.95 we'll remove it for you. Please, any info will help.
lol, a similar thing happened to me twice. i tried first deleting all the files,then i uninstalled the program. Also, try booting into safe mode.
It is another fake anti-spyware program that display false security alerts to trick the user to buy the paid version of SpyDawn. Remove SpyDawn
These rogue anti-spyware programs never give up! Now I got SpyDawn. I found the SpyDawn removal instructions on the web, removed the files and uninstalled the program using the Add/Remove app. SpyDawn files I found on my c:\windows\system32: higehsg.dll, spydawn.exe, and xkrdk.dll.
Given its high popularity, I've often wondered why there aren't spiders just spamming the whole site all the time. That seems difficult to defend against without captchas or required logins or anything. Anyone know why they leave us in relative peace (knock wood)? -- TotoBaggins 21:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Folks - Bit of a strange problem, which has been annoying me for a while! In recent weeks, if I attempt to edit a large-ish Wikipedia articles (nothing ridiculous, not even big enough to merit the "this is a long article" notice) I am unable to save or preview my changes. Basically the browser just hangs, and then times out before it gets a response - no error, it goes for quite some time before giving up. The problem is present using both Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 (I use Windows XP SP2 by the way). Also occurs when using AWB. The problem doesn't appear to be intermittent - whilst it's not always been the case, it always seems to be the case currently. At first I thought it was a Wikipedia problem, but it has gone on for some time now. What's curious is that on several occasions I have tried editing from behind an open web proxy (after eventually finding one that wasn't blocked!). There was no problem in editing in this way which is interesting, since it implies it's not a problem with my computer setup / firewall / router. I'm thus at a bit of a loss! It's not the end of the world, since I can edit individual sections OK, but it's a bit of a pain, particularly if picking a previous revision of an article, and attempting to save it. Anyone got any sensible thoughts? └ UkPaolo/ talk┐ 21:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi!
I'm about to do a homework in c. We are supposed to submit the code to one of the schools computers for evaluation. We have this time-constraint on us (your program is not allowed to execute forever), and there will be LOTS AND LOTS of data to read from the standard input. That is how the computer will test the program. It will provide the input through the standard input and evaluate the generated output on standard output to see if it is OK.
Here's my problem. As far I can see there are like hundreds and hundreds of ways to read from standard input and write to standard output in C. Which one of these are the easiest and best way? I want to be able to read in huge amounts of data (nr. of bytes in the order 10^6), process it, and generate output. I can recall some function like this: c.in << ... & c.out >> ...! But I'm not sure. Are those good?
Another question: My program will be working with the data in blocks of 128 bits. But is it a wise thing to write data to standard output A.S.A.P? I mean, shouldn't I make my own buffer in an array and write large chunks of data to standard output instead of small ones. I am afraid that constantly writing out small parts would require way too much overhead. Am I right, or is it even worse to save the thing in an array?
Any kind of answer will be appreciated! PureRumble 21:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
getchar()
, and the standard way of writing one is putchar()
; avoid such things as fscanf()
because they do incur noticable overhead. Perhaps slightly more efficient for block data would be fread()
and fwrite()
, or even just (on Unix) read()
and write()
, bypassing C streams altogether. You certainly don't need to worry about more than a function call of overhead when writing out little bits of data because the I/O facilities (even just the kernel ones) will buffer your data quite reasonably. Finally, the amount of time required to read and write a million bytes is entirely trivial (think 50 milliseconds, even counting disk access for both input and output), and your computation time on that data is likely to be so small as to fit in during the disk accesses and add nothing to the total time. --
Tardis
23:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Tardi, Mdyer. Thanks for fast reps! Mdyer, if I read you right you're saying that (a) reading in a block (16 bytes) with fread, (b) processing it and (c) writing out the generated block with fwrite before going back to (a) should be no problem since fread and fwrite do nice buffering for me, am I right? The amount of data to be taken care of is 16*10^6 bytes. What about reading in ALL of it in one giant array, processing the blocks one by one, and writing back all of the array at the same time when done? Does that sound crazy or just ingenious? Note: I have no idea if my input is lying on a file or if a program on the evaluating computer keeps feeding my program with input. PureRumble 00:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
! W O O O O O W ! What can I say... you ask a question and you get complete essays as replies! Thanks to you all. My current strategy is big internal buffer (500000*16 bytes) and I read directly from file/program that provides input/whatever with write() and read()PureRumble 20:17, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my email. The problem is I recently had some sort of a catastrophic failure in my computer an I can no longer access that program on my computer. In order to fix the problem I will probably have to reinstall Windows, which in the past has always wiped my address book (very bad!!!!!) My question is, where is the information in an email address book stored? Also is there some way (via the internet maybe?) to log into my email account and retrieve all my previous messages and addresses before I reinstall Windows. Thank you!

Hi, I was wondering, does anyone know of any utility program that allows to directly modify the speed at which an application runs? By that I mean, lets it run faster/slower than it is normally intended to, and that works on Windows Vista. I've seen a few of these applications around, but all of the ones I can find aren't compatible with Vista. Any help? Thanks.
Update: I got such an application working, but unfortunately, all it could achieve was to slow down the program, I'm assuming it must have some sort of anti-speed up mechanism built in...ways around this?
If you know how to hack a binary program, you could edit the binary executable itself and replace the delay code with either nothing or NOPs. 4.242.147.169 00:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

What about reading in ALL of it in one giant array, processing the blocks one by one, and writing back all of the array at the same time when done? Does that sound crazy or just ingenious? Note: I have no idea if my input is lying on a file or if a program on the evaluating computer keeps feeding my program with input. PureRumble 00:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
! W O O O O O W ! What can I say... you ask a question and you get complete essays as replies! Thanks to you all. My current strategy is big internal buffer (500000*16 bytes) and I read directly from file/program that provides input/whatever with write() and read()PureRumble 20:17, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

optimisation flag when you compile. Does nothing for read/write optimisation, but helps the rest of the code. --

13:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)How do I alter this code to either get rid of the lone box in the left hand corner? I am talking about the bottom tabs script for css. The "loner box is right under userpage or in this case project page. Here is the code:
/* bottom tab styling (not for IE currently) */ #mytabs { margin: -0.3em 0 0 11.5em; white-space:nowrap; line-height: 1.1em; overflow: visible; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 0 0 0 1em; list-style: none; font-size: 95%; } #mytabs .hiddenStructure { display: none; } #mytabs li { display: inline; border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; border-top:none ; padding: 0.1em 0 0 0; margin: 0 0.3em 0 0; overflow: visible; background: White; } #mytabs li.selected { border-color: #fabd23; padding: 0.2em 0 0 0; } #mytabs li a { background-color: White; color: #002bb8; border: none; padding: 0.3em 0.8em 0 0.8em; text-decoration: none; text-transform: lowercase; position: relative; margin: 0; } #mytabs li.selected a { z-index: 3; } #mytabs .new a { color:#ba0000; } #mytabs li a:hover { z-index: 3; text-decoration: none; } #mytabs h5 { display: none; } #mytabs li.istalk { margin-right: 0; } #mytabs li.istalk a { padding-right: 0.5em; } #mytabs-ca-addsection a { padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; } /* offsets to distinguish the tab groups */ li#mytabs-ca-talk { margin-right: 1.6em; } li#mytabs-ca-watch, li#mytabs-ca-unwatch, li#mytabs-ca-varlang-0, li#mytabs-ca-print { margin-left: 1.6em; } /* remove comment tags if bottom tabs should be rounded as well in moz */ /* #mytabs li, #mytabs li a { -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 1em; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 1em; }*/
It is really quite odd I ve tried a lot of stuff to it but it will not change. Any one with bottom tabs please help. For quick reference see: user:Darkest Hour/monobook.js and User:Darkest Hour/monobook.css. Thanks in advance, -- Darkest Hour 23:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
#mytabs { width: 100%; position: static; margin-left: 14em; white-space:nowrap; line-height: 1.2em; overflow: hidden; border-collapse: collapse; list-style: none; font-size: 95%; }
I am now testing it on the other version to see if I can remove it. -- Darkest Hour 23:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
:* Nope can someone use the Ie version and get rid of the lines? -- Darkest Hour 23:46, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my email. The problem is I recently had some sort of a catastrophic failure in my computer an I can no longer access that program on my computer. In order to fix the problem I will probably have to reinstall Windows, which in the past has always wiped my address book (very bad!!!!!) My question is, where is the information in an email address book stored? Also is there some way (via the internet maybe?) to log into my email account and retrieve all my previous messages and addresses before I reinstall Windows. Thank you!

Hi, I was wondering, does anyone know of any utility program that allows to directly modify the speed at which an application runs? By that I mean, lets it run faster/slower than it is normally intended to, and that works on Windows Vista. I've seen a few of these applications around, but all of the ones I can find aren't compatible with Vista. Any help? Thanks.
Update: I got such an application working, but unfortunately, all it could achieve was to slow down the program, I'm assuming it must have some sort of anti-speed up mechanism built in...ways around this?
If you know how to hack a binary program, you could edit the binary executable itself and replace the delay code with either nothing or NOPs. 4.242.147.169 00:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
