I used a speech recognition software to recognize the lyrics of a song and the result was incorrect. Any idea? Testor Ploa ( talk) 04:01, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

OK so i did a stupid think i tried "how to hack" youtube video and tried to hack as an Admin onto a website. After an "Admin" username and string [1'or'1'='1], this message in red letters popped up that this security breach attempt was forwarded to their IT department.
I was in firefox, with private browsing enabled (similar to Google incognito, http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing), and had Tor, which allows me to connect to multiple anonymous servers (bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays). What are the chances I can get tracked down for this?-- DSbanker ( talk) 04:11, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
i am 15 years old, and yes what i tried was stupid. But i did plan for this scenario to come up and planned to be untraceable, as i am beginning learning python and etc. The only problem, i connected to Tor from a home IP address (stupid) Correction: this should be called "Chances of tracking down attempted SQL injection?"-- DSbanker ( talk) 04:26, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm a bit annoyed here. We ought not to be assisting people with criminal activity, or helping people to avoid facing the consequences of criminal activity. Looie496 ( talk) 17:31, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi! I'm a bit new to using Linux and the command-line, but I'm already falling in love with it. I have a question though: if I want to find out exactly how much time a program takes to execute, I can simply use the very convenient time utility. Is there a corresponding utility for memory? Like, you type something like "memory something", and it lists the maximum amount of memory "something" needed during runtime? The reason I want this is just as an easy way to check if some optimizations to a program I'm making is actually working. I realize that there are much better ways to do it, but I just want a very quick and dirty way to get some idea about it, much like how the time-command gives you a quick and dirty way to find out if your program becomes faster. 80.216.71.133 ( talk) 07:45, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
I enjoy the game Heroes III. (Yes, even though it's old.) Once in a while, though, it will dump me to the desktop. I can easily alt-tab back to it and continue where I left off, but recently I've been trying to find out why it happens - checking for malware, turning off various services and so on. Does anybody know, is this:
I've sometimes observed the same thing in other games, though that might be coincidence. I've never known it happen in any of the various art programs and IDEs I run, only while playing games - and not very often. It might be related to programs that run full-screen, although I've never noticed it affect Blender. Card Zero (talk) 11:40, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
my laptop bios wont accept the os which i put...aft pressin enter wen it prompts to press any key for boot it shows a blinking cursor with a black background.....help me out pls.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.161.181.224 ( talk) 14:28, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
How would you use wget to output all the IP contributors to let's say the Example article to a text file ? Drogonov 19:42, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
I have an old Windows 98 second edition PC that is idling and I'm thinking about trying out Linux on it. Is there a list of hardware system requirements for the older Linux distributions? In particular, I'm considering Ubuntu. My PC uses Intel 82443BX Pentium (r) II processor with 128 MB Ram & 19 GB hard disk. Thanks. Axl ¤ [Talk] 20:24, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
