I have to use a range extender to be able to connect my Desktop to the network in order to get my internet. I have a cable running from the extender to my desktop and then the extender has a wireless connection to the router. I am trying to port forward my computer so that I can have a friend (who is in Australia, I am in America) can join on my private minecraft server for a project we are building. However when I port forward my computers IP address and the port the servers connected to like normal he can't connect. All my online searching keeps telling me that I just have to port forward like normal and it should work. However it's not working. My extender doesn't have port forwarding but does have it's own separate signal for wifi. I can even set the password to something completely different from the routers if I want to. I'm new to extenders as I haven't needed to use one until now so I am not sure how this is suppose to work. Does anyone know how I can get my server, which is on my computer, to be port forwarded through my extender and router so my friend can join me? This stuff confuses me so please be simple with explaining it. Thank you. 24.113.181.116 ( talk) 02:41, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

I am wanting to make a table of contents like the one shown here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dwarf
I noticed i can get the right justified images by clicking "Edit" on the article and finding the relevant code. However, i cant find the code for the Contents table. Right where its meant to be there is nothing. How can i achieve these highly useful tables? Thanks!

How does a web page detect if a browser can use HTML 5 video? If I go to WP:VE, it says I should use an "[HTML 5 video browser]" and the video won't play. But, if I go to Apple's HTML 5 test site [1], the video plays without any problems. So, generally, how does a website or widget detect whether or not I have an HTML 5 browser? And, specifically, why does Wikipedia think I don't have one, when the Apple HTML 5 video works fine? I haven't tried any other HTML 5 video, and I am using Safari 5.1.8.

Hi there,
So I've got another question about excel lists and was wondering if anyone could help me.
Essentially the table looks a bit like the following table, except it's got over 15000 rows.
Name | Value | Date |
---|---|---|
Bob Jones | 200 | 1/6 |
Mike Evans | 32 | 1/6 |
Suzy Boo | 109 | 2/6 |
Roger Smith | 24 | 3/6 |
Bob Jones | 51 | 3/6 |
Suzy Boo | 67 | 3/6 |
Henry Rogers | 33 | 3/6 |
Dan Edwin | 110 | 3/6 |
You'll see that some people appear in the table more than once. What I need to do is calculate the total "value" for each person - in some cases (eg in this example) they're going to have several entries (eg: Bob Jones = 200 + 51), and in some they'll only have one. I could sort it by name, but then I'll still have to go through it manually and find duplicate names. Is there an easy way to combine the "value" entry for identical "name" fields? In theory there's no limit to the number of times someone can appear in the table. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Seal Boxer ( talk) 09:53, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Name | Value | Date | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Bob Jones | 200 | 1/6 | 251 |
Mike Evans | 32 | 1/6 | 32 |
Suzy Boo | 109 | 2/6 | 176 |
Roger Smith | 24 | 3/6 | 24 |
Bob Jones | 51 | 3/6 | 251 |
Suzy Boo | 67 | 3/6 | 176 |
Henry Rogers | 33 | 3/6 | 33 |
Dan Edwin | 110 | 3/6 | 110 |
E.g. export to csv from excel resulting in something like this:
name, value, date Bob Jones, 200, 1/6 Mike Evans, 32, 1/6 Suzy Boo, 109, 2/6 Roger Smith, 24, 3/6 Bob Jones, 51, 3/6 Suzy Boo, 67, 3/6 Henry Rogers, 33, 3/6
and then in R run
data = read.csv('data.csv') merged.value = tapply(data$value, data$name, sum) # e.g. to see the highest values (and the associated names) run tail(sort(merged.value))
Learning the basics of R might take an evening but it's quickly going to be worth it if the alternative is using excel for everything. -- 81.175.227.88 ( talk) 13:03, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi all,
I've often noticed when I add citations to articles from online newspaper sources, there is often additional data attached to the plain text in the title.
Example: when I fixed a dead link
here from
this source I was expecting to be able to paste into the {{cite news}} "title" field just "Art's Great Whodunit: The Mona Lisa Theft of 1911". No such luck.
I do grok a little html, .css and .js, but I'm still 99.94% confused. Why does this happen? How does it work? Is this some way for the online works to keep track of their content?

Is there a library out there that detects patterns in a stream of HTML pages and then separates the common and more or less varying parts? This is difficult to search for since I don't really know what would be the keywords. -- 81.175.227.88 ( talk) 12:15, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
I think I know the answer to this one, but ... I'm advising someone who has saved an unwanted version of a PP 2002 file over the wanted one, thus losing hours of work. No back-up. I don't know if autosave was on. Is there any way to recover the earlier version? Itsmejudith ( talk) 18:12, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
