In MS Word 2007, how do I remove the recent documents list? 68.193.147.179 01:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
(I'm not sure whether this question should be better asked in "Entertainment". Feel free to move it there.)
Are there any games that can be played by more than one person at the same time on ONE PC?
Maybe something that would need a pair of control devices?
I'm looking for something like multiplayer car race games or shooting/fighting games. Thanks Lukas 02:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
it is not working most of the time. In a week and a half my new one should be arriving, how do I not get deleted for in activity? coffeelover63
I have something like,
FINISHED= trap 'FINISHED=true' SIGCHLD do_something & while [ "$FINISHED" != "true" ]; do sleep 1 done # Print the exit code of "do_something" here.
Is this possible? -- Silvaran 06:03, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
You might be interested to know that the $! variable is the PID of the most recent job started in the background. You can do something like this:
do_job1 & job1_pid=$! do_job2 & job2_pid=$! do_job3 & job3_pid=$! wait $job2_pid job2_rc=$? wait $job1_pid job1_rc=$? if wait $job3_pid; then echo "job 3 succeeded :)" fi # ... etc.
I am using a keyboard with the letters åøæ, but due to a random key-combo that I pressed and can't find to reset, these now appear as various other symbols like ' and \. What is the combination to get out of this mess? :) 213.161.190.228 09:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

How do I completely delete all temp internet files if I am on a shared network and am not a administrator?? (posted by 72.16.204.201) ( Ouro ( blah blah) 17:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC))
i've just tried to upgrade (using the upgrade cds) my computer from xp home edition sp2 to xp professional edition sp2. however after doing some stuff when i put the cd it rebooted itself and gets to a stage where it says "ajlkqgjo.sys can not be found press any key to continue" however my keyboard at this point has been disabled. the keyboard works becuase i can get into the bios, i've tried telling it to boot from cd before hard drive but that then requires a keyboard input for it load up after i exit the bios, which i cnat input as the keyboard doesnt work. the keyboard seems to be disabled just after the bios finishs loading. i've tried to use the 6 recovery disks thing but that also needs a keyboard input which i cant do. i've tried googling and searching windows website for this missing file but neither cna find it. any1 have any idea how i can recover my pc to either home or professional? -- 137.205.164.142 16:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Sometimes it's enough to drive you mad. I copied and pasted my Windows XP hosts file (the file, not the content) to my Windows Vista installation, but nothing is affected by it. I've run notepad as Administrator, replaced the proper header, and granted myself complete access to the file using the elevated command line, but it still doesn't work. Any advice?

Hi all,
I have a java applet that can return an image as a PNG ByteArray. Using JavaScript, I can get that ByteArray. How can I then display that image? Is there some ByteArray rendering I should know about?
Thanks! Mary, 16:54, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
// Write the image out as a byte array in PNG format var stream = new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream(); Packages.javax.imageio.ImageIO.write(image, "png", stream); var imageData = stream.toByteArray(); // Convert the data to a URL-encoded string var rawString = new java.lang.String(imageData, "iso8859-1"); var encodedString = java.net.URLEncoder.encode(rawString, "iso8859-1"); encodedString = encodedString.replaceAll("\\+", "%20"); // And return it all as a data: URL return "data:image/png," + encodedString;
Any difference in the type of instructions processed and computing tasks between the two?(something like why cant we put a Core 2 duo/AMD in place of Ati/Nvidia)?? 59.92.243.50

Is it possible to have both Win 98 SE and XP opearing sytems on a slow (200MHz) computer? What are the possible problems, and how should I go about installing?-- SlipperyHippo 19:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Persuant to my earlier question on servers, I think the thing i saw advertised was in fact the Windows Home Server software that would run on HP (and psooibly other) hardware. Would using this system be better than an external HDD attached to my current computer? -- SlipperyHippo 20:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Aha! Found the HP HW it can run on [2]. What are the pros and cons?-- SlipperyHippo 20:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
