I don't have an XBox, but I have a PS3. I have seen PS Home. I have been asked how similar that is to XBox Live. Does anyone here have experience with both? I need to explain what XBox Live is all about to another person who only knows PS Home. -- kainaw ™ 00:53, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Recently, when I restarted my computer, I had to restart all of my applications (FireFox, iTunes, etc.) However, whenever I type the "F" key, it automatically opens up the "Documents" section of Finder. Can somebody please help me with my issue? It is much appreciated. -- Luke (Talk) 01:28, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
I want a second opinion on this: would deleting and undeleting fix database corruption affecting a Mediawiki page? I'm referring to Confusion Gate on the La-Mulana Wiki, where the latest page is inaccessible and doesn't permit regular users to touch it. Prior versions of the page still work. What's the worst that could happen? -- Sigma 7 ( talk) 02:19, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
I recently set up a new box to be used as a file server, its running a windows 7 professional x64 and I set up a VPN as per http://www.pcworld.com/article/210562/how_to_set_up_vpn_in_windows_7.html these instructions, the client connects fine (I can tell because I see the connection appear in the Network connections window on the VPN host computer, yet the client computer can't see any shared folders or the host device when I go to map a network drive, and also can't ping the host device even though its clearly connected to it. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated, i've spent a few hours troubleshooting now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.172.81.234 ( talk) 05:04, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
for locally hosted files? tried localhost, file, 127.0.0.1, c, all do not work. all punctuation is truncated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.116.187.1 ( talk) 07:39, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
In Firefox 6 and newer, there is a utility called about:permissions. Simply type that into the location bar to start the Firefox Permissions Manager utility. Read here: "How do I manage website permissions?" This interface lets you simply set up your cookie preferences for localhost, 127.0.0.1, or any other address you are using to access your locally-hosted server.

I've been reading the Year 2038 problem article and I don't get it. It says that after 2038 unix time won't work because it's too big. But it's a number, and numbers are infinite aren't they?
I want to download a url page every hour and store it. I was advised by a friend to use a database. How?
while true; do name=$(date +%F-%T.html) wget --output-document $name sleep 1h done
Hi,
I know to calculate multicore processor speed but nowadays computer boards are coming up with many cards with built in processor like for 3D and other thing so it increases the spreed so how come one can calculate that. Is there any particular formulae for that.
I will appreciate if you can help me on this.

I hit the wrong keys (command-shift-something, or command-option-something, or ...) and Firefox's content pane expanded to fill my whole screen. Since I didn't know what I'd done, I couldn't reverse it except by quitting Firefox.
Anyone know what the keystroke was? I might someday have a reason to do it intentionally, and I can't find anything like it in the menus. — Tamfang ( talk) 17:38, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Bought an SDHC card by mistake and fell foul of SDHC#SD_and_SDHC_compatibility_issues. Any way to format the card so that the equipment I need to use it in will recognise it as an old-style SD card? I'm not fussed if I lose some capacity. Or is there some sort of adapter I can buy? It's either that, or put it up on eBay and take a loss on it (can't take it back to the shop as I've unsealed the packet). Thanks. -- Kurt Shaped Box ( talk) 20:53, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Since Hindi and the stock market would apply to what I hope to master in real life, I wonder if there's a language game and one that I can learn how to use a stock market from. If they engage me for hours, then they'll also help me learn in better ways than I've found thus far.
A search for them on there didn't pull up any promising results last time. Maybe I didn't use the right set of keywords? -- 70.179.174.63 ( talk) 21:28, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
