Hi, I'm doing a clean install of Win 7 and was wondering if there is a way to backup the autocorrect spelling entries in Word 2010?
Thanks, -- 58.175.33.226 ( talk) 02:33, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I have a bunch of home video files that are just sitting in a loose mass. I was wondering if anyone knew of a program which could automatically sort the files into date folders (the date would be that of creation of the file -> ie when I took the movie).

In Python, if X is a list of sets, what's the customary way to say X[0] | X[1] | ... | X[-1] ? — Tamfang ( talk) 07:46, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
{x for s in a for x in s}
. But the method below is better, I think. --

s = set(); for t in X: s.update(t)

22:05, 23 July 2011 (UTC)Is it possible to recover recently deleted SMS from mobile phone that has no blue tooth connectivity say for example an old Samsung SGH X160.If possible will some one give brief idea about the process involved. Ichgab ( talk) 11:16, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
I just had a question about programming in general, with regard to the speed to access/display information. I am asking this not of any language in particular, so i am looking at almost any language whether it is able to be compiled into executable code or if it is more like scripting and is interpreted on run-time.
The question is, is there a general ranking to the speed of different types of data access and retrieval? For instance... can i say that from shortest to longest, it is faster to....
1. Store data to memory/read it from memory (variables, arrays, etc)
2. Read/Write that data to a file
3. Output information to a screen
I am asking in the interest in learning to code a little more efficiently. I was told by a programming professor that output to the screen generally takes more time, so i should alert the user to something only when necessary. Wouldn't it be more efficient, regardless of language, to make an algorithm that works by storing data in memory to use, instead of in files? etc
Thanks

I am running some training software which is essentially HTML pages with embedded flash videos etc. I get an error when i run the main page from the CD.
It says...
Adobe Flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation...
The following application on your computer or network: (swf file path) is trying to communicate with this internet enabled location: (html file path)
it says i have to change the settings to allow it to work. However, flash thinks that this is on the internet, so i cant specify a url to allow. allowing all sites doesnt work either. I also tried the loopback address (127.0.0.1) to no avail. how do i allow the content to communicate so i can view it properly? I have current version of internet explorer and flash on win 7.

The problem is that the swf files control navigation to the different pages etc. I fixed it however, by adding my cd drive to trusted locations for development rofl. Thanks anyway!

Quick technical question on 802.11n. Am I right that MIMO is independent for how many transmit and receive channels an adapter has? In other words, a 1T1R adapter (including ones in APs of course) can still have MIMO, although obviously it's limited to 150mbps? I've seen some things which suggest yes but they're not entirely trustworthy (although our article on MIMO also suggests yes to me) and I did read one thing suggesting no. If MIMO requires multiple channels (in other words a 1T1R can't be MIMO), how are two antenna used on a 1T1R adapter? Does one transmit and one receive? Nil Einne ( talk) 18:44, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
I logged into my account for the first time in months, I've changed computers, and I can't find the option to sync up my data to my browser on my new computer. Anyone know where it is? 173.2.165.251 ( talk) 18:48, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
1. I would like to know if the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Wiki page is protected from being updated?
2. Is there a way to find out who submitted the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Wiki page in case we need permission to update the information?

I have a PC with 2.25GB RAM, 1.38 GHz processor and 160GB hard disk. The OS is Windows XP SP3. Recently, it has started taking a lot of time to start, as compared to a few days back. I even uninstalled a few programs, but it was of no use. The C drive has 26GB free space. Could someone please tell me the reason for this sudden slow startup and how I can get it to start up faster?

Thank you all for your suggestions.
LarryMac:I downloaded Soluto. It showed 33 applications running in the startup. I paused some of them. Then the boot time reduced to 48 sec till the last boot. It shows 22 applications which run at startup which cannot be removed with Soluto (yet). Why is that? And the time varies with each boot. Why is it fluctuating? Also, it takes 48 sec to boot, but it also takes an additional 1min12sec for the icons to come on the desktop. Why is that? Thanks for suggesting Soluto, because it showed all the programs running at startup, which was not the case with msconfig.
Imgaril: I defragmented all the hard drives before posting this question. So it was of no use. I use Norton Internet Security. So can it still be a virus? The PF usage just after startup is 375MB.
I also downloaded Ccleaner and will try it out.
Nimur: Thanks for your advice. I'm trying out all other options now, if nothing else works, I'll go to the logs. Thanks a lot,all the same.
