I want to know about the Certification in Ethical Hacking?? what are its scope and limitations and from where it should be done so as to get the maximum result.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.159.213.24 ( talk) 04:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

How fast is the internet growth? Is the growth accelerating?-- Quest09 ( talk) 10:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I have Uniform Server running with a small website, which I can access by typing "localhost" in to my browser. I would like for it to be accessible to a few friends too, but I don't know what to do. I've tried giving them my ip address to enter in their browsers but it hasn't worked. Anything else I can do? I am very new to computing so I would really appreciate if someone could explain in laymans terms. Thanks very much for your help.
I just got The Man From Earth DVD. It doesn't have a subtitles, but there is closed-captioning. I can't get my DVD software to show it, although the DVD player connected to the TV can. 65.88.88.75 ( talk) 16:47, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
if you are talking about computer software then you are missing the codec to display the subtitles. Google VLC player. It is free and will play it. Ivtv ( talk) 21:30, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
What is the difference between these from the home users point of view please? When or why would I need a router and not a network switch or vice versa? 78.146.251.48 ( talk) 17:14, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I am on Windows XP Professional, and I want to set the "homepage" for Windows Explorer. I go to the shortcut properties, and right now the "Start in:" field reads "%SystemRoot%". I want it to open to My Computer, but I don't know what to type in that field. I'm sure someone here should be able to help me. Thanks, — Akrabbim talk 19:22, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I am still confused on what the end user is requesting. If he is looking for a shortcut to the my computer icon, that is possible but im 100% certain that is not the issue. Windows explorer is a process, not an icon. whenever you browse your computer you are using windows explorer. What I think you want to do is change the shortcut to "my computer" to open something else besides listing your drives. That is possible. Ivtv ( talk) 21:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

21:58, 9 July 2009 (UTC)I've discovered a work around. After some google searching, and sorting through solutions for Vista, etc., I found a solution. You can set the default mode for opening a folder to be "exploring". Run regedit, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\ and double click '(Default)'. In the 'Value data' type 'explore' (no quotes). — Akrabbim talk 12:26, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Does Freeview transmit software updates for TVs? I know it sounds unlikely, but I swear my TV (which has an integrated freeview receiver) announced a couple of days ago that a software update was available & did I want to install it. So. Unlikely as it sounds, does Freeview transmit software updates for TVs? -- Tagishsimon (talk) 22:06, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I am trying to use Win32 API's GetTextExtentPoint32 to determine the extent (in pixels) of a on-screen string. It appears to be working as it should, but it includes some (normal) space above and belove the "normal" characters (see extent.png @ privat.rejbrand.se). For my application, I would need to determine the exact height of the written (capital) characters (in my *.png image, it would be the height of the letters "H" and "E"), without any additional spacing. How can I get this information (without first drawing the text, and then manually examining the resulting bitmap...)? -- Andreas Rejbrand ( talk) 23:43, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
GetTextMetrics(DC, m); y0 := m.tmInternalLeading; y1 := m.tmHeight - m.tmDescent - m.tmExternalLeading;
