I'm looking for a specification for either the TeX or LaTeX languages. (I already have a decent /working/ knowledge of LaTeX, but I'm looking for more complete information than just introductory tutorials.) I tried googling around a bit but the obvious searches didn't give me anything useful. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Eric. 131.215.159.171 ( talk) 01:59, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I would like to have a blog software that exists only my computer. I'm interested in using it as a electronic journal; I'm not interested in publishing it. (This technically isn't a web log, I know.) Is there any free software that can accomplish this? Thanks. ÷ seresin 02:36, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
A google doc perhaps? Then you can access it from anywhere you have internet and it's still not "published" (although you could share it with specific people if you wanted). If you're looking for a free version of Word (ie you don't want to access it from other computers), open office is probably the closest thing. TastyCakes ( talk) 20:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Has any aspect of computer hardware remained as relatively unchanged for as long as the mouse? Save for the basic additions of more buttons, and revised tracking methods (optical vs ball), the functional use and input method are identical. Are there analogously "perfect born" equipment in other industries? 218.25.32.210 ( talk) 04:50, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

How can I make my CD or DVD as a copyright CD / DVD???? Please Help me........ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ms.Monu04 ( talk • contribs) 08:33, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
If you want to copy protect it virtually (as opposed to legally) then there are a few ways to do that as above. But DVD encryption, which is not very secure, is stored on an area of the disk that most commercial DVD Writers are unable to write to, but are able to read. Which means you'd need a high end commercial writer to author your own DVDs with full CSS. Shadowjams ( talk) 08:04, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

I have an iMac which I keep offline. My PC is my internet computer. I need to get Adobe Flash installed on the iMac, but when I go to the Flash download site and try to download for Mac OS 10, it looks like it's just going to "seamlessly install" Flash on my PC. So is there a way that I can download it to my PC and then burn it to disc to get it to my iMac and install it there???? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.111.116.253 ( talk) 11:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
How do you install the VLC plugin for Firefox on RHEL (or CentOS)? I've checked the VLC website but the information there is not helpful. The information I need is:

Is there any free software for Mac and PC which I can use to combine 2 separate animated gif files together? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.20.24.67 ( talk) 13:53, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
At home I only have microsoft works, however at work and Uni I do my work in microsoft word. This creates problems as works wont open word documents directly. You firstly have to open works version of word and then open it through file open rather then just double clicking on the word document. This also creates problems with saving as everytime i have to save it in the correct format (97 - 2000).doc in order to be able to open with word. Are there any free versions of programs similar to word that will let me simply edit text and save in the correct format with no hassle and also will directly open word documents.
Many thanks.-- 195.49.180.146 ( talk) 15:07, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I currently have some code which does what I want it to - but it only works on one text box (or TextFrame) in a document, however I want it to apply to ALL text boxes in the document. Can anyone help here? I think I may need to do some kind of loop to count all of the text boxes and then run that many times, applying my code to a different box each time. Any help is appreciated!
e.g. Sub specialCode()
loop blah blah blah....

[3] I want to see the updates via the web. Will any of this software [4] help me to do it? Btw the Weather Station does not connect to the internet out of the box. Accdude92 ( talk to me!) ( sign) 20:10, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Weather display is one of the programs that supports a wide variety of weather stations, including those made by LaCrosse. However, it does not appear to support this one, and it would appear that the one you've linked to does not have an interface that allows it to be connected to a PC or other internet-linked device. I would suggest investigating a weather station that is designed to interface with a PC. -- Phil Holmes ( talk) 09:54, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
