I am an older, disabled person doing my best to just survive using a computer. For some reason I found a CD among my 'computer stuff' named "nero8essentials" and "Linus 3 Essentials". I have no idea where/how I got this. In trying to search the web using Internet Explorer I somehow landed on Adobe website. It seemed to instruct me to download AdobeFlashX. (I checked my List of pre-installed software and found Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash.) I tried to download AdobeX and all sorts of things happened.....leaving me with the impression that the download was unsuccessfull. But then when I checked my "Downloads" I swear I saw Adobe Flash but when I clicked on its name (from the list of downloads) I think it was unavailable or similar phrase. Then, I tried to download Adobe FlashX for the second time and I received a message that computer could not run two versions of same download (words to that effect). I've lost time, I'm in physical pain and I now really only want to know if I 'hurt' my computer - because of the conflict between AdobeFlashX appearing on list of downloads but not accessible.
If this mean nothing to anyone - I will understand as my vocabulary is technically limited and I did not transcribe every darn message I rec'd. tonite (didn't think I'd need to.

There are available technologies used to control computers with minds, but are there available technological approaches used to control minds with computers? Is it possible? 117.5.13.6 ( talk) 09:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi all.
I've had a
hotmail account for going on 15 years. As of a couple of weeks ago, when I log in, I get this message:
Your account has been blocked. ... We'll ask you to provide us with a mobile phone number where we can send you a verification code and we'll add this phone number to your Windows Live profile for future use. After you enter the code, you can change your password and sign in.
No frickin' way am I going to add my cell-phone number. (The Internets already has more than enough to identify me, my car, and my Social Security number.)
Am I being Phished? Or do I just just need to put in some random cell-phone number to get my hotmail access back? -- Shirt58 ( talk) 14:51, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
I am looking for a simple (easy to operate, easy to set up, ideally free) system which allows to share files and perhaps other information among a small group of people. Requirements are:
A typical scenario could be: User A uploads some image files and pdf or text documents to the server. User B views these files, ideally without downloading them to her computer first, i.e. on the server. Would be good if there were some editing functions as well such as delete/copy/move files or edit text documents. Any suggestions on what to use for such a setup? bamse ( talk) 15:02, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
On the page Help:Books, it says "After selecting a few articles, you can click on "Suggest pages" and you will be presented with a list of articles that are related to your selection."
What are the technical details as to how are the list of suggested pages/articles generated? Is it using link structure? bag of words models? Is it deterministic? non-deterministic?
Thank you. -- Rajah ( talk) 15:10, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
