I find that Google Reader is consistently omitting my friends' shared items if they are from blogs I already subscribe to. To see these items, I have to switch to "all items", i.e. they are automatically being marked as read if I already subscribe to that blog. Is anyone else having this problem? How can I make it show all of my friends' shared items? -- Anakata ( talk) 00:13, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I just downloaded the "leaked" build of Windows 7. It is in the form of a .TPB.torrent file. How would I convert it out of .torrent? Then the .TPB extension... I have no idea what that is. flaming lawyer c 01:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
.torrent
file. The link was deleted by Gadget850, the second poster, because "we don't links, nor do we provide related information." The link was not to The Pirate Bay,
as you can see, but was to some other random site. Which would explain me not knowing what the TPB extension was.

09:06, 5 November 2008 (UTC)Why the hell do many download sites demand that you create an account and then do something with a download partner? Young people like me cannot do that stuff. 121.219.2.201 ( talk) 05:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

On GameFAQS and Yahoo Answers, whenever I report a comment that is off-topic, offensive, etc, I never, ever get a respose. Why is that? Those sites should be designed so that people have the right to take such comments off of their own topics. 121.219.2.201 ( talk) 05:34, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I have googled all day for webzine, ezine and/or online magazine open source software. If anybody can suggest some names and, probably, we can make a list on wikipedia? I would prefer php software, if possible. Thank you in advance Renich ( talk) 06:49, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
i finally got a new computer and its awesome, but someone keeps screwing with it and i come home from school to find a virus or spyware on my computer. I use a firewall and virus scanner and when i get home they have been turned off. I would like to write a program that will start a screensaver, then append a log file when the screen saver is deactivated. I'd like the program to be in either C#, C++, or Visual Basic. Also, i am curious as to whether or not this can be accomplished using an MS-DOS Batch File. Appreciate the help. PS-This is not homework. It may sound like it, but this is a serious question as i have no programming skills at all. 31306D696E6E69636B6D ( talk) 14:00, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I have a confounding problem with my new computer with Windows Vista. I spelled out the details here [1]. If someone with some expertise would take a look and offer advice, that would be greatly appreciated. Handicapper ( talk) 15:06, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I made this data entry system - basically a web app. which runs on ASP.NET & MySQL. It's a few simple forms and some nice graphics to illustrate statistics etc. running on a web server. Now the powers that be is asking me to make a standalone version you can dump on a laptop (without internet) so people can do data entry on the fly.
So I'm thinking I'll just make a simple app. without all the fancy features - which allows you to enter data with a simple function which copies all the data onto the webserver once you hook up to the internet.
I only ever messed around with web sites, I have never made a standalone program before, so help me out here. The app. is so simple I suspect I can just write and compile it in Visual Studio - can't be too different from what I got now - but what database do I use? I can't very well use MySQL? It's going to be installed on 200+ laptops so this needs to be REAL simple and manegable. 194.239.246.106 ( talk) 16:25, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Is there a free program out there that will pop a caller ID notification on my Vista computer from incoming calls to my cellphone. I have bluetooth capabilities on both. I have the LG enV. (the original) -- omnipotence407 ( talk) 19:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey,
Is there a program that let's you change your background when you 'lock windows' (windows button + l)? I'm talking about the background when it's locked. Not the desktop background. I'm using Vista by the way.
In advance, thanks! 93.184.122.12 ( talk) 20:58, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
