I have so far searched in vain for a Tandy Color Computer Emulator that will run on my Windows 7 System and recognize ROM files with a .ccc file extension. Can someone help me here? 69.120.136.162 ( talk) 06:29, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
To answer your question, in any of the emulators just change the extension to".rom" for some and ".pak" for others. All the rompaks are basically the same. Just the extensions are diffewrent.

Hi sir!My dout is about command line arguments in c language. 1)we can execute a c program after getting .exe file of that program.then what is the speciality of command line arguments. 2)by using command line arguments we are giving input from command prompt to main. We can use the arguments passed to main in our programme.we can pass data required by programme with out using command line arguments.then why should we send data to main()?what is use,speciality and need of command line arguements? Sir!please explain with an example. I hope you help me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phanihup ( talk • contribs) 11:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
When you go to a page that uses Web Fonts while using the latest Firefox browser, where does that font get put in Firefox? I've gone to a page that uses web fonts and then looked in %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox and everything below, and found nothing. (using Windows 7 OS) 20.137.18.53 ( talk) 12:27, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
I'm trying to have a cell display "Today's starting count" where it takes the closing values from yesterday. If we were closed on the day before though it will display "NOVALUE" so what I want it to do is check the column that displays the previous day's closing count and IF there's no number there (because we were closed) then it scrolls up the column until it finds the most recent closing value and will return that value instead.
So far I've got IF(ISNUMBER(T1), T1, ) It's the last bit I don't know how to do. Any thoughts? Also if I set those T values to be preceded by a dollar sign, because they do represent money, will ISNUMBER still acknowledge it as a number? 199.94.68.91 ( talk) 19:50, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
I decided to finally upgrade to Fedora 17 from Fedora 14. The old system was too old to update, so I had to do a full reinstall. Luckily I had kept my old home directory on a separate partition, and it seems to be intact. The first problem that struck me is at although Evolution seems to have retained my old e-mail account information, all the e-mail I had downloaded to my local hard drive is no longer accessible. Evolution just says it can't find the messages. I have the old versions of Evolution's mailbox files on my backup drive, but how can I use them in the new version of Evolution? Do I have to convert them somehow? JIP | Talk 20:12, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
I've now sort of managed to get my old locally stored e-mail back in Evolution. I could get this year's received mail back, but not yet any of the previous years' (they were in subfolders of the old "Received mail" folder). But there's still some things I want to get sorted out.
My first sight at the new Gnome 3.0 desktop made me instantly agree with Linus Torvalds: "Gosh, this is horrible". I made Gnome force fallback mode, even though my system seems to be able to use the new desktop. But now I can't move the taskbars around any more, and most importantly, I can't add any quick launchers to the taskbars themselves, so I wouldn't have to use the menus. Is this at all possible?
As well as that, the old Gnome Photo Viewer seems to be gone. In its place is "Shotwell Photo Manager", which seems to comply with the Gnome project's goal to destroy direct access to the computer's actual filesystem. I can't find any way to view thumbnails of all photos in a specific directory. Instead there's artificial constructs such as "Libraries" and "Tags". The old Photo Viewer offered a directory tree on the left-hand side and thumbnails of all images in the currently selected directory on the right-hand side. Is this possible in this new-fangled "Shotwell" thingy, or can I somehow get the old Photo Viewer back? JIP | Talk 20:39, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Well, to be honest, Fedora 17 did do something right. Because Fedora 14 was too old to update, I had to do a full reinstall. This meant my old personal user account was gone. I had to create a new personal user account with the same username. I was expecting Fedora 17 to replace the old home directory with a new blank directory, and me having to restore my latest backup (luckily made minutes before the upgrade), and fiddle around with user ID and user name settings. But no, Fedora 17 happily informed me "A home directory with this user name already exists. Would you like Fedora to reuse this old home directory, updating all the user IDs and permissions so that all the files would belong to the new user?". I gladly selected "Yes, please!". And when I logged in to Fedora 17, my old home directory was there, with all the files, fully accessible. Now if I could only get the programs I've become accustomed to back...

Are these at all available for Fedora 17? Should I try compiling them from the sources? JIP | Talk 21:03, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
I found out that all I had to do was to install the free and non-free repository RPMs from RpmFusion. Now I could install both VICE and E-UAE with yum. And they work the same way as in Fedora 14, too. E-UAE still doesn't get the sound quite right. Do I need a faster computer or something? JIP | Talk 18:54, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
