I am looking for a program that can combine multiple PNG images into an animated GIF. Is there any free software on Windows or Mac I can use?-- 219.74.153.124 ( talk) 01:31, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
When's the last time Bill Gates himself wrote code for a Microsoft product? 20.137.18.50 ( talk) 13:24, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Back in the early '80's in the days of the Atari ST-1024 a Company out of Jacksonville, Florida (or Jacksonville Beach) developed an emulator for the Atari to allow it to run MSDOS programs on top of its TOS operating system. Is there a similar emulator existing today that will allow Windows applications such as Excel and Word and other windows based programs to run on top of the Linux operating system? 71.100.3.13 ( talk) 14:29, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
A couple of days ago, I noticed my computer's clock was wrong (fast by 5 or 6 hours), then when I came to reset it, I found the date was Friday, 22nd December 2006. It was making it difficult to visit websites because I had to authenticate certificates for them. Does anyone know what has happened here? I've reset the clock and restarted the machine and done a virus check with AVG and nothing has been found. Any information at all would be appreciated. -- KageTora - (影虎) ( Talk?) 18:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Funnily enough, it did actually happen after unplugging the computer and leaving it unplugged for a number of hours. Maybe this is something to do with my warranty running out last month and not being renewed...... :) Cheers! -- KageTora - (影虎) ( Talk?) 21:13, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
You can get a CR2032 at most grocery stores. 20.137.18.50 ( talk) 12:45, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. So that is the one I need for a HP G60? Cheers! -- KageTora - (影虎) ( Talk?) 13:45, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
If I had the resources to create and build an uncompromised computer to replicate the higher functions of the human brain what would those uncompromises be? 71.100.3.13 ( talk) 20:59, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
i've had a quick search on the internet and i'm none-the-wiser, i'm pretty confused by IT at the best of times. so if anybody can help me pls do! my car has been vandalised a few times over the past 2 months so i thought a webcam would help me get some evidence. however i've only seen high end webcams advertising that they have software 'designed' for home security. can i buy a low end webcam such as this [2] and use some freeware software to save say 1 image every second to my HD? ty in advance 87.113.113.221 ( talk) 21:16, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
that's a lot of helpful info ty all. i have a security light which means i should be ok without IR, and i do have a partition set aside with linux installed so maybe it's time i worked out how to use it :-) really struggling for money atm so it seems a budget cam (other than it's field of view) should be okish i appreciate your advice
ty all
not sure why my 'ty all' is in a separate box but it was heartfelt :-) 87.113.113.221 ( talk) 00:46, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Because you started the line with a space :-) -- Phil Holmes ( talk) 10:54, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
it was too long and was way over the character limit. And besides, the people on sites like that are stupid. Wikipedians are much smarter and more helpful.
Here's my question:
What software (preferably free and quick) would be able to convert a .avi video file with a DIVX3 codec to a file that could be read by an Xbox 360? 96.255.178.76 ( talk) 22:40, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
I came across some unusual array syntax in some 11-year old Fortran 90 code. It's causing a segfault, presumably because the array index is accessing out-of-bounds. Unfortunately, the code is accessing the array elements in vector syntax that I am not familiar with.
write_subroutine( cmplx(x(::N0,:), y(::N0,:)), N1*N2*8 );
N0, N1, and N2 are constants. write_subroutine works properly if the input is valid. Clearly, something with the double-colon syntax is accessing invalid parts of vectors x and y. What is this double-colon vector syntax? I'm inclined to believe that it is accessing the vector in strides of N0 (that is, every N0'th element of the entire vector), but if that is the case, how am I getting a segfault? I can't find documentation for this weird vector syntax. Any Fortran90 vector gurus know what the :: syntax actually means? Nimur ( talk) 23:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
hey i need help guys please. when i try to launch the application i get this error: the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail. so i check the event log and it says: Activation context generation failed for "(file)". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis. what is going on?? ive never had this happen before.-- Longhorns666 ( talk) 23:16, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
and i use sxstrace.exe, but the command prompt appears for 1 second and then disappears, so i cant even use it!-- Longhorns666 ( talk) 23:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
