I'm writing a program that needs to recognize when words are spelled correctly, so I need a list of english words, including plurals, conjugations, common proper nouns, etc, but not foreign words or acronyms. Do you have any suggestions? Black Carrot ( talk) 00:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Is it possible to see where a particular site appears in a search result without manually sifting through pages?
eg.
say I want to find instances of example.com in google search results for "example". I want to know how high up on the list the site ranks, but I don't want to manually find it?
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,

I'm looking to convert some svg files off wikipedia into Flash swf files (and eventually fla files) so that I can edit them in (my opinion) a more comfortable vector editor. I have tried to use the converter available at sourceforge (svg2swf), and got a nice blank white square as a result. Does anybody know of, or have an svg to swf converter that they have gotten good results with? The file is File:Canada_Ontario_location_map.svg. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 03:37, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Nice, and I can even do it with the demo. I have Flash MX so I use another converter to change it from swf to fla. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 07:34, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Recently, whenever I load up my netbook, Windows Explorer is launched. Is it possible to determine why this is? I know that's what happens when I crash Explorer, so maybe Explorer is crashing on startup. As a side, when I load My Computer, I get an error message about Windows Live not being enabled. How do I get rid of these issues? Mxvxnyxvxn ( talk) 05:07, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
i fucked my laptop keyboard and would want to know if there is a way to buy a spare one or something like that. i got an hp dv6000 series laptop, and while attempting to clean the keyboard keys got a few of them off the board but getting them back turned out to be a nightmare since if you do a little more pressure than needed the whole thing fucks up and the key wont plug in as it should, so im wondering if its easy and technically possible to buy a spare keyboard and replace it MYSELF? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.83.239.7 ( talk • contribs) 10:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
I just downloaded Chrome to replace an old version of Navigator that is becoming obsolete. I also have Safari and Firefox and I use different browsers for different things. In the past I have always installed AdBlock and FlashBlock, but just now, on Chrome, when I went to add the plug in (or whatever) I got a message that said basically "Are you sure you want to add this? Flashblock will have access to all your private data on all websites." Can someone explain to me what this means? Is it just an IP address sort of thing? Or does it mean that someone somewhere can get all my facebook info and passwords and bank account info or something? I am totally naive so don't play with me :( Also I have a Mac w/ Snow Leopard.

Sometimes I turn on "show hidden formatting" by using the ¶ button in Microsoft Word. And when I'm done, I push it again and the hidden formatting goes back to being hidden. However, I am now in a position where it won't go away, even after logging off and back on; I've also tried deleting my normal.dot. Any suggestions? If it makes a difference, I am using remote desktop to access a shared server. Ma t c hups 14:02, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
For my project work, I'm trying to access https://spdbv.vital-it.ch/ but my internet says the website is blocked. I changed the settings for internet security but I still can't access the website. Please help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.120.162 ( talk) 18:19, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
I've looked through Category:Free application software, and I can't find any video editing software, along the lines of Premiere or Windows Movie Maker. Is there anything along these lines? I especially need something that can speed footage up. -- Zanimum ( talk) 19:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Often I wish to link to some archived or recent news story at a site like the New York Times. If I am logged in at such a site, the html link to the story may end with 40 alphanumeric characters, far more than would be needed to uniquely identify the story. Is there likely to be encrypted therein the IP address I used if I accessed the story anonymously, or the user id or email if I accessed it while logged in to the site? If I were more certain that someone could not decrypt the long alpha string and identify me,I would provide more useful links as references in articles or in response to Ref Desk questions.

Hello, having recently taken to the game of 8-ball pool, I am inquisitive as to the possibility of potting the eight-ball directly from the break (the first shot in the game). Does there exist any computer program which could be used to decide whether this is possible? -- T.M.M. Dowd ( talk) 19:57, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
I upgraded to adobe 9.3, but 9.1.2 is still on my computer. Can I delete 9.1.2 to free up space —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.106.57.127 ( talk) 20:20, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Today when I connected my iPod to my PC, my AVG antivirus (free edition) detected "Trojan horse Downloader.Agent2.EJC". It does not remove it. What free software can i use to remove the mentioned virus? Thanks.-- 119.155.20.24 ( talk) 20:35, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
I am making grass with a plane with "hair particles". Then I want the grass to have one texture and the ground anotherone. How can I do that? -- 83.183.172.203 ( talk) 21:18, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
