Does anyone here have any idea why my laptop shuts down at random without so much as a warning message or bluescreen? It is a Toughbook CF-48, running Windows XP, 256 MB RAM. The only two programs open both times I've shut down are Opera and KVIRC. —Jeremy v^_^v Components: V S M 05:34, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
Much of the time, although not always, I see "Go to a web site" displayed in the Firefox address slot rather than the URL of the page I'm looking at. I'm using Firefox 5.0 and WinXP.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've found this on the internet https://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/browse_thread/thread/b82e76ad30161d16/7f80d5c69fc11bcf which seems to blame openSUSE, but as I'm using Windows, not Linux, then I don't see how this applies.
How would I disable the openSuse thing in Firefox anyhow, if it is present even though I'm using Windows? 92.24.133.68 ( talk) 15:14, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
Is it possible to use Word's 'find' function to locate every instance of a word, and then highlight those instances in a colour I specify? For example, if I have a document with the phrase, 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,' and I wish to highlight both of the instances of 'the', can I use the 'find' function to do it? Of course, with such a short sentence, I could do it myself. I am thinking about using this in a 20 page document, where I need all instances of the words that appear in an attached .xls glossary highlighted in the Word .doc I am working on. -- KägeTorä - (影虎) ( TALK) 19:07, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
In Linux, how can I batch rename a number of files with names such as oa0*.jpg
(where the *
part includes varying digits) to p80*.jpg
, so that only the first two characters of the names change from oa
to p8
?

rename 's/oa0/p80/g' *.jpg
. This assumes you don't have any files like baroa0.jpg the you don't want to rename.-

(there are two popular rename
applications out there). ¦
