Where in my computer's hard drive (Drive C) is all the data for the History section stored in? Which folders do I have to go to? 64.75.158.195 ( talk) 10:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi all,
Hopefully this is an appropriate place for this question! Basically, I'm studying mathematics at university and I'm trying to find a way to put flashcards on my iPhone, for revising long proofs of theorems etc. However, since most of the things I'll need to revise will be partly symbolic, I was wondering if there was any way to put LaTeX (or some kind of TeX) in flashcard form on the phone, since the majority of the apps I've looked at don't seem to have much in the way of special character support (logic symbols etc) - if there is such an app I've failed to spot it, but either way a nudge in the right direction, if this is feasible, would be much appreciated! Incidentally my phone isn't jailbroken, so if at all possible I'd need solutions which keep things that way.
Thanks very much, 82.26.0.194 ( talk) 12:57, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Yes, ideally something in the actual flashcard form with proper mathematical typesetting is what I'm looking for, editable by whatever means - iPhone or computer or anything else - would be fine, but (for example) I'd like to have the statement of a theorem on the 'front' and the proof on the 'back', or some similar format, rather than literally just a block of typeset mathematics in something like a PDF. If worst comes to worst I am capable of just making a PDF of everything and then keeping that on the phone, but if it comes to that I think I'd rather just write them out in real life. I am aware what I'm asking for is quite specific, so I'll fully understand if the answer is just a 'no it isn't possible', especially since Apple are fairly renowned for limiting how much you can do on their devices, I just thought I'd come here and ask if anyone had any clever suggestions, or knew of an app where the proper typesetting is possible! Thanks for any responses in advance, 82.26.0.194 ( talk) 00:07, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm sure this is a question which has been done to death, so forgive me for asking. Will 64 bit Windows run programs designed for 32 bit systems? I have many programs, some very old, which don't and will never have 64 bit versions. Will they continue to work, or will I have to run them in a virtual machine or something laborious like that? 82.43.88.151 ( talk) 16:55, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Write it by hand, take a picture of it with your iphone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.90.157.2 ( talk) 20:29, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedians:
I'm currently using a Trendnet TEW-652BRP router. I have opted to connect my DSL modem directly to the router as one of its nodes, instead of connecting it to the Internet port, because I would like my DSL modem to directly assign DHCP address to all of my computers so that my computers may take advantage of my DSL modem's UPnP capabilities for automatic port forwarding. Therefore, the WAN light of my router remains off.
After I have set up everything. I found that all the wired connection to my Trendnet router works fine. However, when I attempt to use the wireless connection provided by my Trendnet router with my laptop, I find that it does not work (the laptop is able to latch on to the wireless connection fine, but it could not detect any Internet connection through the wireless connection). I also noticed that the "Status" light on the router blinks slowly and the "WLAN" light on the Trendnet router blinks rapidly, I think this might be a sign of trouble.
I also have a Linksys WTR router that is configured in the same way as my Trendnet router. On that router I am able to get on to the Internet through the wireless connection just fine. So I am wondering what is going on?
Thanks for all your help,

Hmmm...this afternoon after I came back from the computer store, the wireless connection on the Trendnet TEW-652BRP router all of a sudden started working. I didn't do anything to it. The indicator lights are still blinking at their respective paces but the wireless network on Trendnet just all of a sudden worked, what a pleasant surprised, problem resolved!

In greasemonkey, I want to replace an image on a webpage with another image. The image I want to replace comes from the url " http://example.com/image.php?title=1234" where "1234" changes and could be anything. I want to replace it with " http://otherwebsite.com/5678.jpg". How would this be done? 82.43.88.151 ( talk) 21:45, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
