I have two computers (1 wireless laptop and 1 wired desktop) connected in a LAN connection by a router. The laptop is running Vista, while the desktop is running XP. Is there anyway I can "hack" into my desktop using my laptop? For example, can I view the files on my desktop through my laptop?
As well, my desktop is connected to a printer with a wire. Is there anyway I can print a document wirelessly from my laptop through the desktop and through to the printer? Thanks. Acceptable 00:01, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, a few months ago I downgraded my 3.03 Official Firmware PSP using the Illuminati exploit. I then installed 3.40 OE firmware. My question is can I go back to official Sony Firmware now? (BTW, I have a TA-082 motherboard.) Any help would be very very appreciated. RedStateV 00:43, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
1. is there a wiki page on tv-links? I can't find it.
2. How does tv-links work?
3. Why are there so many dead links?
no speculation please. please give links to support answers. Thanks -ROB —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.131.128.182 ( talk) 02:04, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I am using a 736JD Microchip (Dell make 2003 November) with a processer that uses a 9 voltage adaptor. Would this combination defect my Wikipedia page display or would it create a meltdown in the lower motherboard? My motherboard detail logs are : 63H-4403-N/FE4. For The Americas the 9 voltage adaptor would be a 12 voltage adapter with compactability to the motherboard (in this case with the Dell Microchip). Furthermore, Would these adapters also damage my screen of my computer when viewing Wikipedia? As for the screen, it is a 1997 (old) make by Hartwell Glass Co. (now defunct). Thank You. -- Missingthefuture 02:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm looking for an IRC plugin for firefox-- but one that, unlike Chatzilla, runs as a frame in Firefox, instead of another window or tab. Somewhat in the same way I can press CTRL+B and have a bookmarks sidebar popup, I'd like something similar, except across the bottom of the window. I'd really appreciate it if someone knew where I could find something like this -- lucid 14:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Let's say I search a term or phrase using Google and I click the I'm Feeling Lucky button; and the website, to where Google directs me, contains "badware". Will Google stop me from accessing the site? Thanks in advance. -- Mayfare 16:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I googled pascal programming. Google claimed that the first result may harm my computer. That is what brought up my question in the first place. Now that I re-googled pascal programming, the first result does not have the warning anymore. -- Mayfare 13:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I recently bought a copy of Jean Michel's AERO album. It has two formats, Audio CD and a bonus DVD. The DVD contains teh same songs but in Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround Sound. Is there any way I can extract the Dolby Surround track retaining the 5.1 channels to play back as a Wav file (is it wav pro that handles 5.1?) Or, is there a way I can extract the sound to 6 separate channels and then I can assemble them back together using Nuendo.

I'm using a remote server and I can't seem to change the file permissions on it via my FTP program.
I tried to use PHP to do a chmod on the file in question, and got this error message:
Is there anything I can do to circumvent this on my end? The files are all currently 0600, and I need them to be something whereby PHP can write to a few of them. (I don't have root access or anything like that -- it is an academic web server and so I have little control over the settings.) -- 24.147.86.187 19:45, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
You need to remount the filesystem the files are residing on read-write. They may be read-only fo security reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.69.121 ( talk) 01:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I keep hearing about this "IRC channel" on "freenode". I've read the IRC article a million times and still don't understand. Could someone please explain it?-- Pheonix15 20:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Okay I kinda understand now. I downloaded HydraIRC but I have some questions;

I recently installed a new OS on my Linksys router. Is this possible with my Nokia cell phone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.147.39.60 ( talk) 20:16, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello! On my other computer, Windows XP isn't working anymore; it will not boot. Can I install Linux on it on another partition and still access my Windows files to back them up on a CD or flash drive? Thanks!-- El aprendelenguas 20:33, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Knoppix is good for that. No installation required! 216.178.50.171 17:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I tried running Knoppix, and it started to boot up, but then it just got to a black screen and stopped. Now when I turn on my computer, I can't even get up the BIOS; it just has a black screen as if it were still off. The CD drive will still open and close, but it can't do much more than that. Now if I put in a CD with Linux or Knoppix on it, it will make noice like it were reading the CD, then just stop and do nothing again. I know that Knoppix didn't cause this problem, since my computer is pretty much on its last life anyway, but is there any way left I can regain access to some of my old files? Thanks!-- El aprendelenguas 19:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
When printing a multi-page Wikipedia article such as "Florida", 20 pages long, my printer prints pages 1,3,4,8-11,16-18,20. The other pages show only a header and footer. Other articles show similar results, apparently random pages print.
I am using Vista Home Prem, 2 gigs Ram, Athlon 64 CPU, Spy Sweeper and AVG Antivirus active, and do not have this problem at other websites. Does anyone have suggestions what may be happening? Roboconk 21:22, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
For quite a long time now (more than a year, at least) I've been having trouble on my computer with typing the letter 'o'. Every so often the letter simply stops doing anything, until I press the alt key twice (this was a fix I found quite early on by accident).
The problem doesn't seem to be tied to any particular software, although it might have started (I don't remember) when I started using Opera as my internet browser. It does effect other programs, though.
I posted this on the Reference Desk a long time ago, but didn't get any response other than a comment from somebody else to whom this occurred, thanking me for the Alt key fix.
If anyone knows how to solve this I'd be very grateful.
Thanks, D aniel (‽) 21:23, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
