Sorry if this sounds stupid but I once heard a director say that he would "digitize that out" in regards to something he wanted to get rid of in a movie. I have a few personal videos on my hard drive that I'd like to completely remove one annoying person from. I don't see how this could be done but if a Hollywood director mentioned it I figure it must be a real editing technique. What software, free or inexpensive, will do that?

The airbrushing technique would be perfect but I didn't know removing someone would be such a huge project. Thanks Mr. 98. Cowgirl 174.65.24.110 ( talk) 20:41, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
Do you know that auto-dictionary we have in our browsers? The thing that redlines what's spelled wrong. I use Chrome and it stopped working. Just vanished. When I edit at enwp, it used to be there. That's a Chrome thing, right? Not a enwp thing?
So, my question is, where did it go and why, and how do I get it back? Many thanks, Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 03:51, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
...Google Chrome is displayed in this language:...Spell check dictionary download failed...Please check with your network administrator to make sure that the firewall is not blocking downloads from Google servers...RetryThe firewall excepts Chrome, so I guess Chrome doesn't have it anymore. Now I won't notice obvious typos. Pitty. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 23:10, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Still no luck. I give up. Maybe it will fix itself. Thanks all. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 06:22, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
So how does one set up one of these online forum things? I have the domain name and hosting, but that's it, I hear you can download the basic site template for free from some place? then I just need to post it to my website address and modify it to suit?

My father recently purchased a new computer, which came pre-installed with Windows 7. I helped him set it up. The most difficult part was setting up Microsoft Outlook. Setting up the POP/IMAP account was a doddle for me (but not for my father), but activating Microsoft Office had us both stumped. It said we had to sign into a Microsoft online account. My father didn't have one. So I set one up for him. Then it said the Microsoft online account had to be activated before it could be used, and apparently the activation e-mail was sent to the Microsoft account itself, creating a chicken-and-egg problem. In the end, I created a Microsoft online account for my father using his pre-existing e-mail address, which to the surprise of us both, worked. Is gaining access to Microsoft Office really so difficult these days? As I use Linux myself, I simply have to install the software and type my POP/IMAP account information. What is the proper procedure for activating a newly-bought Microsoft Office software these days? JIP | Talk 21:44, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
I've been using Gmail for years, but their total disregard for their customers with every single "upgrade" is infuriating. What is your best alternative to Gmail and how can I effectively copy 1 GB of email without clogging the servers? I want to keep it all online. - 87.211.75.45 ( talk) 23:25, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
