I'm using Microsoft Word to write a report. One section of the report includes a number of tables, each with a heading (using the heading format, outside the table itself). Is it possible to configure these in such a way that the heading and the table will always be on the same page, regardless of how much I add earlier in the section (each table is about half a page long, so page breaks would only work nicely if I added them as the last thing on the document).

In LibreOffice, you can do Format -> Paragraph... -> Keep with next paragraph (check box) to make this work. Usually Microsoft Word is pretty similar, I think. Wnt ( talk) 15:56, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
I decided I wanted to help out at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computer_science, and started at the top of Wikipedia:Missing science topics/NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures. I've barely got a stub so far, just using the NIST page as a reference: User:JessRyanA/2-left hashing
The problem that I'm running into is lack of sources, so I'm beginning to worry it isn't very notable. The reference it gives and the references cited by the few other places I can find it mentioned all use a balls-and-bins problem to discuss the problem - they expect that the reader will understand how to apply it to their own problems, such as hashing.
Can anyone help me track down other acceptable sources on the algorithm that discuss it directly as hashing? I'm worried using the balls-and-bins papers is synthesis. Here's the bit of discussion I've had on it already before deciding to look here for references: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Computer_science#How.27s_my_first_attempt_at_a_new_article.3F Jessica Ryan ( talk) 11:39, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi all, I've just bought an external (usb attached) blu-ray/dvd player (manufactured by Buffalo Inc.) for my Vaio laptop with Vista. I can play dvds, but somehow not blu-ray discs. Does anyone know a good free blu ray player for Windows? Also, if I want to attach it to my obsolete (2007) dvd player, what would that usually entail? The dvd player has hdmi slots among other things (but I think it's hdmi output only), and the digital tv (2011 or 2012) has all the usual stuff, but nothing onboard (ie. all sorts of attachments but no hard disk of its own etc). I can't find a usb slot on either the dvd or the tv. The blu ray player has only the usb connector. I've tried VLC, but it didn't play the blu ray, and kept giving me cryptic error messages.

Here's the next in my series of battery-related questions. Now that it's been firmly established that I cannot leave my electronic devices without a charge for too long, the next question is: how long is too long? For this thread I'd just like to focus on my Sony PSP; as it is important to me for its multimedia capabilities, but I can go months without using it (also it's easy to get at the battery! ;) So, on the battery it says: 3.6v and 1200mAh. I am wondering how long this battery can be left without a recharge? Not what its capacity is; I want to know how long I can not use it (have it in storage) without bringing it out for a recharge. I know that there is a variable as to how much charge it has when I stop using it, so I'd just like a rough estimate (or maybe one for full, half, and empty?) I don't know a lot about batteries so if I haven't given enough information, or I'm not making sense, then I'll provide more. Any information at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- .Yellow1996.( ЬMИED¡) 16:37, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
