Somehow, I don't know how, all my files in a few folders were made into read-only. Is there a way I can make them all read-write again? (I wonder if it happened due to some combination "shortcut" keys I accidentally typed (being a poor typist)?) The OS is Vista. -- Halcatalyst ( talk) 01:02, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi. Is it possible to listen to BBC Radio 4 on the ipad? Googling left me utterly confused. Thanks, Robinh ( talk) 01:25, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
See here http://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/questions/radio/online_radiohowto/?src=interstitial for non-flash Radio access to BBC Radio. ny156uk ( talk) 06:53, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
or get the bbc iplayer app for Ipad (sorry that's probably a simpler solution - it's free too, at least here in the UK). ny156uk ( talk) 06:55, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
It is certainly on the list in the article, but many elements seem to me to be functional requirements. For example audit, non-repudiation, single sign on, etc. -- Q Chris ( talk) 12:40, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
I keep getting "Account temporarily unavailable Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes." Anyone else having problems? DuncanHill ( talk) 13:29, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
I find the site http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ to be quite useful at times like that. ny156uk ( talk) 06:52, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi folks :) is C++ the best all-purpose computer language to learn if one is interested in a career in comp/sci or programming, or has Java or C-sharp taken over? It's been emotional ( talk) 18:22, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, very helpful advice. Nimur, is it a compromise if I just find some place like the one on your userpage? I'm not good at surviving without electricity, although I could probably make do without a network (read: Wikipedia) for a while, just to get some work done :) It's been emotional ( talk) 18:59, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
I have realised (somewhat to my shock) that over half of my laptop's internal hard drive is given over to Norton's "Virus Defs" folder.
I'm keen to free up that space on the computer. So my question is this: if I move that folder to an external hard drive, how can I make Norton "map" to the new location and find its Virus Defs there? And, of course, force it to update its Virus Defs at the new location, also, whenever it updates? AndyJones ( talk) 21:33, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
To put my question into context, the VirusDefs "properties" dialog tells me it has a "size on disk" of 34.8GB, and contains 15,426 files in 781 folders. The answers above suggest it shouldn't look like that, at all. Is there any merit in just removing the folder (onto a backup disk rather than just deleting), then sending Norton off to do a live update (which would presumably restore the current set only)?
