What famous computer scientists or programmers, if any, have been conclusively determined not to have ADHD, autism-spectrum disorders or Pervasive Developmental Disorder? Neon Merlin 00:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello everyone! I hoping you could help me with a problem I'm having. This computer (connected via Ethernet) cannot login to configure the network but any of the computers in my house connected wirelessly can login. (Yes, I am using the right user name and password) Could anyone offer an explanation for this and some solution(s)? Thanks. [I just discovered this today but I haven't attempted to login for several days so the problem may have appeared anytime within the last week]-- Xp54321 ( Hello! • Contribs) 03:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
For some reason I can't login using Firefox [3.5] but I can login through other browsers like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. Strange... Does anybody have any possible explanations for this? And hopefully some solution(s)?-- Xp54321 ( Hello! • Contribs) 03:15, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I recently bought a new PC with a GeForce GT220 graphics card. Do it have a 40nm chip?
This is the PC:
[1]. As far as I had known, the GT220 was not supposed to come out until after this summer ends, so you can imagine my suprise when I saw a retail computer with it! --hello, i'm a

OK, so I was browsing some YTMND sites, but one thing that bugs me is the broken looping sound. Sites that are supposed to loop properly, i.e. LOL, Internet and many others, pause at the end and cut a bit of the beginning part. I'm using Firefox 3.5 and Quicktime 7.6.2; there had been at leat one thread in the forums describing the problem, but I couldn't seem to track it down and resolve it. Even other browsers don't loop wave and MP3 files properly. Any thoughts on this? Blake Gripling ( talk) 06:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Can I set up a VPN on a home compuer without making any edits to the router? I share itnernet use with a few others in the hosue and I don't own the router, so if I could set up a VPN on my terminal with just a software package or something like that without making any edits to the router, that would be ideal. Right now I'm looking at Gbridge. -- Shaggorama ( talk) 17:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Without wanting to get in to the realms of invasion of privacy - I was wondering if Steve Ballmer has used any of his wealth on the usual stuff millionaires do - like a 4gigagallon swimming pool in the shape of the windows logo or something? The biography says nothing - not even a football team. 83.100.250.79 ( talk) 18:30, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
I got nothing for the title, but this is my question, is there a page that can tell me how many edits were made to Wikipedia on a certain day and then on that day what was the most edited article? Ever since MJ crashed Wikipedia I've been wondering what other days had a similar problem. Rgood erm ote 21:25, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Let x be a Unicode character (or, a codepoint). Is there any simple way of obtaining a list of all characters similar to (or related to) x? Of course, often similar and/or related characters have codepoints close to each other, but this is only the case in a very restricted way. For instance, among the mathematical operators, you have "∫", "∬", "∭", ..., but the characters "⌠", "⌡" are found in Miscellaneous technical. An even more striking example is "-" (Minus-hyphen) in Basic latin, where you can also find "‐", "‑", "‒", "—", and "―", but we have "−" (Minus sign) in Mathematical Operators, "─", "━", "┄", "┅", "┈", "┉" in (Swedish:) Ramelement, and "-" in Fullwidth forms, and "﹘" in Small forms. It would be great with a website, where you can enter a character (or a codepoint), and a list of related characters is returned. -- Andreas Rejbrand ( talk) 21:41, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
