I would like a simple program thats free and accurate. The program should be able to record and play back macros for keyboard and mouse. Im looking for something with a low file size, but its not a neccessity. Does anyone have any good programs for this?
I use Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit version, if that helps.

(Sorry for the delay, I've only just come across your question!) AutoHotKey will record macros and play them back, and has quite a small size (the program itself is 2.5MB and the macro files are usually under 5KB); but you need to do a little work between recording and playing back to choose what key combination you want to make the macro start. It should be pretty easy, though - I haven't recorded macros myself, but going by http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic7008.html it sounds like it's just a matter of adding two lines to the code. http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm has instructions on formulating the two lines.

I just purchased morpheus morphing software because I want to take two pictures and ad the nose or eyes of one person and replace the nose and eyes on another person and make it look like another person as a picture. But so far all I can do is make a movie of the two pictures transitioning one after the other. How do I change the features of a person's face and body and make it look like another person without looking all cut nd pasty? Is this called something else besides morphing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.137.242.85 ( talk) 00:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Today, someone with a residential DSL IP kept trying to connect to ports 445 and 135 on my network for an hour or longer, and I'm not running any kind of peer 2 peer software. My router's firewall continued to block the attempts to access the ports. I've had my IP address for a couple of months. Apparently ports 445 and 135 are commonly abused by hackers. What are the chances that the IP was trying to hack in? PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 02:29, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Standard attempt for an infected host to infect you with malware. Go into your router settings and set it so there is no reply on a ping or something. The infected host gets a reply from your ip, then trys to access those ports. No reply=no attempt. Ivtv ( talk) 03:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Sites like Youtube have the videos "available" for download (if you know where to look) in formats resembling the original formats (though probably converted and compressed to a certain degree). Is anything known of this for Facebook? I'm mainly wondering about the images, which I sometimes want to download from a profile but the visible resolution is incredibly small, even when the upload was quite large (images are resized after upload, though obviously the originals might be deleted). Any help is appreciated, thanks! 210.254.117.186 ( talk) 10:29, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Using Firefox 3.0.11 on Jaunty (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu; canonical - 1.0) and Firebug 1.3.3. I know it was there a week ago, but it just disappeared! I can no longer right-click on a link (or the Response tab or whatever) and select Copy Response Body. The option isn't there. There's only Copy (doesn't do anything), Copy Location and Copy Response Headers.... -- 205.174.162.243 ( talk) 19:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
I am having a problem in which DEP keeps attempting to shut down IE8. I have added it to the list of exceptions, but it continues to pop up. All anti-Internet Explorer statements aside, how can I fix this once and for all? -- 74.46.74.205 ( talk) 19:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
I am currently debugging a rather complicated piece of Delphi code. Placing a breakpoint before the most interesting part of the algorithm, I step the code one line at a time. Eventually, I end up on a while expr do
statement, and the expr
expression is obviously true, for it is or'ed with a trivially true statement. Yet, the program appears to skip the entire while
block, as if expr
had been false. I have experienced similar odd behavious previously, and, if I remember correctly, this has been due to some sort of "silent access violation", e.g. trying to access s[4]
in a string s
with length(s) = 3
. This time it is rather difficult to pinpoint the source of the problem, due to the complexity of the code. Is there any debugging trick I can utilize to find the (potential) problems? --

Hi, I remember reading quite a while ago about a computer program that mimicked the evolution of spider web designs. Essentially you started off with "spiders" who drew random designs of "webs", then "prey" items were thrown at the "webs" and if sufficient were caught the spider could survive and breed with a random other surviving spider, but the "webs" of their offspring would be some kind of cross between the two initial successful designs. Each generation had to catch more prey items to survive. Apparantly from a completely random start within about 20 generations the webs were basically identical to real spiderwebs and as efficient.
I'd be very interested in runnning this program - does anyone know if it (or a clone) was publically released and/or available online? Exxolon ( talk) 21:06, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
As the map data on my satnav is quite out of date and the map update for it is both itself quite old, and quite dear, I'm thinking about buying a new one
I'm quite drawn to Sony's Go!Explore, as I already have a PSP, but I'm dithering over it. One thing that'd make my decision easier is knowing whether I can still use the PSP for playing back music at the same time as navigation - that'd mean one less thing cluttering up the car.... does anyone know if it can?

Just a quick question: Using the intel software for the 945 graphics chips I find that when examining the properties of an attached LCD TV it has its display type as CRT. (Another device is LFP - liquid flat panel)
If the chip thinks it is a CRT will that effect the output? (the default display is a little bright, but otherwise seems well set up)
Also in the same properties box the gamma is said to be 2.2 or something, but in color correction the gamma is clearly 1.0 - is the colour correction gamma applied on top of the of another unseen gamma?
Also I'd like (for fun) to be able to make the display black and white - I can only find gamma brightness and contrast settings - is there a way? Thanks. 83.100.250.79 ( talk) 22:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
