I use PJIRC to communicate to friends on my IRC server. The problem is if i play a full-screen game, i come back to see my IRC applet is all black and unusable. This is very annoying as i have to refresh the page, and i might have gotten unlogable private messages while i was playing. Is there any way to stop this black/unusable applet issue?

I prefer to fix the problem before switching clients, if possible. Also, it is not my server. 137.81.118.126 ( talk) 14:34, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
I have an orange flashing led on a computer, which the manual informs me indicates "failed battery" - however when I check controlpanel>power options it tells me I have a 95% full battery, which is "on line". I have no way of telling if the battery is dead or not. I would like to find out if the battery is the problem, or the laptop.. and why XP doesn't seem to know that the battery is dead when the computer itself thinks it does.. Can anyone explain the difference? 213.249.187.63 ( talk) 12:43, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Have to ask: did this laptop even come with Windows XP on it? It's quite an old version of Windows, and a lot of new hardware is designed utterly without XP in mind. ¦ Reisio ( talk) 07:10, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Have you seen http://www.youtube.com/theyoutubecollection ?
So allegedly, you can watch all videos ever placed on YouTube, on DVDs. I wish they had the option for Blu-rays because they store more hours of video and have overall, other better features.
Here are the questions:
1. How many single-sided DVD discs would the entire YT collection take up? (That is just the collection as of 4-1-2012, 12 PM GMT, because the constantly-increasing uploads would render any other answer obsolete.)
2. How many double-sided DVD discs?
3. How many single-sided Blu-ray discs?
4. How many double-sided Blu-ray discs?
5. How many 1 TB external hard drives?
6. How many of the largest external hard drive available (in terms of storage space, not physical size) to home-users today, would be needed to store the entire YT collection (the collection as of 4-1-2012, 12 PM GMT)?
It said my order would arrive on June 16, 2045. Where would I find a change-of-address form? =)
(How much would it cost to resend to my new address in Sariwon, Reunified Korea, where I may work as a consulate employee or humanitarian agent?)
(Or if we increase our space-faring momentum, big-time, how much would it cost to resend the collection to my new address in the Jim Wales Colony on Beta Aquilae IV? And how much longer would it take to get there?)
(Or if I decide to stay a little close to home, how about the cost to resend to my dome-villa on the Obama Colony on Mars? And how much more time would it take to get there?)
Thanks, you guys, gals and extraterrestrials. -- Tergigress ( talk) 19:39, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
I need some help installing the android SDK on Ubuntu. I believe I need to first install JDK and Eclipse before installing the SDK. I've downloaded the JDK (the .rpm not the .tar.gz. I would like to know what the difference is). Now what do I do? -- TuringMachine17 ( talk) 21:30, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
