Why aren't methods such as int.Parse() and double.Parse() in C# (each of which takes a string as its only argument, is static, and returns an instance of the class it belongs to) part of an interface so that they can be invoked with generic type? Neon Merlin 01:30, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I am looking to register a domain name with an ICANN registrar. Does anyone know the site/registrar that charges the least amount of money? I've Googled this a bunch, but all I found was like 20 different sites all claiming to have the cheapest domain registering service. flaming lawyer c never for get 06:57, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
HELLO,
I WANT TO ASK ABOUT HOW TURING MACHINE IS UNDECIDABLE AND HOW THIS DECIDABILITY IS SIMULATED WITH UCON UNDECIDABILITY?
Hello, I work for an insurance company and I am trying to persuade my bosses to move to using a wiki for our insurance manuals. I’ve got agreement to look into this in more depth and to make an argument for it so I am exploring the technical requirements and trying to find a wiki software which contains those features which we would require in order to overcome management’s likely objections and concerns. As such I wanted to ask here for some suggestions and advice.
The wiki would be used as an underwriting manual (though I also plan that it can be used to give users contact & personal info, general discussion like the refererence desk, and recording underwriting authorities for users) and would be used regularly by I estimate about 300 people who would require different levels of access/editability.
First of all the main requirement is that it be available at no cost and able to be used for commercial purposes, as if they have to pay for it I doubt if I’ll be able to get it agreed. Similarly it should be capable of being modified & tweaked by our IT guys. I don’t think this should be a problem but the other requirements are:
Also, though we could probably get by without it, I would like one which can also do the following:
I realise that a lot of these requirements go against the general ethos & principles of a wiki, full editability by everyone, though due to the nature of the insurance industry and my particular company, and general management and regulatory concerns I’d never be able to get agreement for a completely wikipedia style wiki manual (and there would be too low a user base to ensure vandalism/self-serving edits to insurance rates were corrected speedily) so I want to try to get as many benefits of a wiki as I can while addressing our concerns over the security & integrity of sensitive date (like rates).
I’m currently only in the exploratory stage and I would appreciate any advice, or suggestions as to the best software and features to meet our needs. I would also appreciate any info you may be able to provide on the benefits & problems experienced by other companies in going down this route.

I need to write a very simple javascript program in which the user inputs their name, number of objects they wish to order in a text input, then 2 checkboxes for additional options for their purchase. Then I need the name to appear in a text area with the total price added up from the text inputs and check boxes. I have very very basic knowledge of javascript so I just need a basic bare bones description of how to get started to I can work out this project. I have all the check boxes, inputs, and text area layed out on the page I just need to know how to make the code work. Thanks -- 143.200.137.158 ( talk) 19:16, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
I am trying to create my own google maps from scratch using Javascript, HTML and XML. What i want to do is create maps that automatically update themselves by reading from an XML file. One example of this would be weather information I am not the most code-savvy person, as this semester I am taking my first computer programming course (C++) Any help is much appreciated Jastman ( talk) 19:34, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
The part I'm having trouble with is DISPLAYING the XML file 67.194.159.149 ( talk) 00:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
I suffered a brain injury 22 years ago after being hit by a drunk driver. I mention this because I'm having major trouble navigating this website. I'm looking for the all time win/loss records of The Washington Redskins and San Antonio Spurs. My local paper gives a brief box every gameday of the football matchups ie. date, time, who's favored, the score of the last meeting and the all time win/loss records. These stats are always inaccurate. If someone can please help me find this info. I'd be grateful. Thank you!

My internet connection is ridiculously slow right now; is it possible to determine whether one of my housemates is getting more than their fair share of bandwidth? ---- Seans Potato Business 21:59, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
