The following is saved under autorun.inf in my flash drive's root directory. It successfully changes the flash drive's name, but the READ ME option doesn't show up on the autorun menu when I insert the flash drive. What's the problem?

Action=READ ME

A friend of mine asked me:
I have a Verizon Wireless Aircard, I have a wireless printer but apparently it does not connect to aircards... I have read about something called a Cradlepoint that you plug the aircard into and it creates a wireless network that I could connect my computer, printer and Wii to... Know anything about it.
What we mainly are interested in is the best way to create a wireless network by buying hardware and not paying a monthly fee. What's the best way? Thanks -- Wonderley ( talk) 02:52, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
After restarting from my computer freezing up, all my Chrome extensions and tabs were gone. The bookmarks were there, but the History was erased as well, so I can't reload the 38 tabs manually either.
My SessionBuddy has a saved session of all my tabs, but first I need to figure out how to put SessionBuddy back on there. (I downloaded it, so the folder is someplace.) Then I'd also appreciate putting back all the other extensions I've had. Please help me get them all back. Thanks. -- Let Us Update Wikipedia: Dusty Articles 08:42, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
I know FAT32 works with everything. But FAT32's 2GB file size restricts the PS3 as a non-networked media playback device. Are there any other disk formats that the PS3 will recognize through the USB port? -- 70.167.58.6 ( talk) 13:33, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I routinely need to hand edit some large (500MB) Maya ASCII files. Are there any text editors that are still nimble with such a heavy load? Ideally, I'd like a Mac OS X editor, but I can run Windows 7 in boot camp. -- 70.167.58.6 ( talk) 16:40, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Working on an iMac G5, OSX, version 10.5.8. I have a ton of Word documents in various files. When I open a file directly in a window, the documents can be listed by the fields: "Name", Date Modified", "Size" and "Kind". However, when I perform a search, the list of Word documents that match the search entry only have the fields: "Name", "Kind and "Last Opened". I want to be able to see and sort by Date Modified here too, which is much more useful to me than is "last opened". Can anyone explain to me, step-by-step, how I would add this function? Thanks.-- 108.27.105.73 ( talk) 18:53, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Okay, so, I am still SoapFiend, but some &^%$#@# genius decide to hack into my ^%$#@!@! user account on this website and I can't even read the *&^%$## watchlist like I always do because of the motherz*&^^%$% "session hijacking" bull*&^%. -- 64.123.104.83 ( talk) 20:58, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
All I want to do is to check into my user page and look at my watchlist and see if there are some changes in my articles related to television and television actors and actresses. How do I get my user account back in order for me to do that again? -- 64.123.104.83 ( talk) 20:58, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. The following is a dreadful piece of code, but it works:
void SplitNumber(double dValue, double* dMantissa, double* dExponent)
{
char szValue32];
char* pTemp;
sprintf(szValue, "%e", dValue);
pTemp = strchr(szValue, 'e');
*pTemp = '\0';
pTemp++;
*dMantissa = atof(szValue);
*dExponent = atof(pTemp);
}
Does anyone have any suggestions for a less-dreadful piece of code that still works? 80.254.147.84 ( talk) 21:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
How about:
void SplitNumber(double Value, double* Mantissa, double* Exponent)
{
if (Value == 0) {
*Exponent = 0;
*Mantissa = 0;
} else {
*Exponent = floor(log10(fabs(Value)));
*Mantissa = Value / exp10(*Exponent);
}
}
(I have removed the "d" prefixes, which in a modern system accomplish nothing except to make the code less readable.) Looie496 ( talk) 00:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
sprintf(szValue, "%.*e", iPrecision, dValue);
if(*Mantissa<1) {*Mantissa*=10; --*Exponent;} else if(*Mantissa>=10) {*Mantissa/=10; ++*Exponent;}
