There are some files here: http://mail.moshiz.com/ftp/misc/Worms%20World%20Party/data/User/Speech/Whoopsie/ which can be downloaded individually - they're custom soundfiles for a computer game. How do I access va FTP to download in one fell swoop? -- 92.28.85.56 ( talk) 00:17, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
ftp://mail.moshiz.com/ftp/misc/Worms World Party/data/User/Speech/Whoopsie/
and allows anonymous login (blank name and password). Watch the spaces in the URL; some FTP clients don't handle them well. They are spaces, not underscores or %20`s.

Recently I downloaded a program reccomended to me off the internet, and though that porogram worked as well as could be expected, (though it did turn out to be not good enough for my intentions) it had some unfortunate results. After I had downladed it and installed it on my computer, over the following few hours I discovered that certain things on my computer were not as I remembered. My internet homepage and default search engine had both been changed to some entirely unrelated company. The homepage was easy enough to fix, and I can return to that any time I wish to search for something.
However, it is the third problem that I wish to ask you about today. You see, I often make use of Microsoft Works, particularly their Word Processor, however that day I discovered that the icons for all my files in that program had been changed to a rather simplified and low resolution image of a page, with the icon of the program I had just downloaded set in one corner. Meanwhile, these files, if sent to another computer, attempt to open in that program rather than in Works, which is quite annoying. I have tried anything I can think of to restore the original icons, without any success. I have gone so far as to delete everything at all related to that downloaded program, there is no sign of it left, other than on these icons, which remain unchanged. Before that, whenever I went to set the default program for the files to open in, though the default was always set to Microsoft Works, the list always opened with the other highlighted, even though it is a drawing rather than writing program, and with no commection to these files. Now it is gone, it no longer appears on the list, but of course the icons are still the same, other than the one on that list of programs, for some reason.
So, I come to to experts, to see if you know of any way I can get the original icons back for all my files.
And, whilst we are at it, I have recently transfered my allegiance to Open Office, but where my sister's computer shows those files with that company's icon, mine presents me with only with an image of the first page each time, is there any way of changing these as well?

Hi, Can some body tell me steps to post a article in wikipedia.org? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Outsourcingrbts ( talk • contribs) 13:54, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
I need to calculate the standard deviation of a range of values, including the values only if the meet a certain criterion. There doesn't seem to be a STDEVIF function, so how do I do it? Probably somehow using IF, but I'm having trouble figuring it out. ike9898 ( talk) 15:11, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Today I found myself using the term "SSD hard drive" when writing an email to co-worker. And I realized how redundant and incorrect that is. Even "SSD drive" is redundant. But "SS Drive" sounds like something Nazis would use. Just plain "SSD" doesn't seem descriptive enough to people outside of tech circles. What commonly accepted usage have you seen in non-technical blogs and articles? -- 24.249.59.89 ( talk) 15:35, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
How do I get the source code of the Acid3 test? 125.235.98.33 ( talk) 16:08, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
I got 63/100 in the offline test but 95/100 on the online test. Why? 125.235.161.184 ( talk) 04:16, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I'm using a computer running Vista. Prior to a week ago, "Run..." (Windows key + R) would save the previous items I typed in. Now, even if I just typed something in a few minutes ago, when I go back there's nothing in the list. Can anyone help? -- 143.85.199.241 ( talk) 17:56, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
