Hi there,
I've moved to windows 7, and when I tried to open an old software that had worked with xp,
I got that error:
"MGNT.SYS not found".
then I open it differently, but still when I tried a feature, the program collapsed.
What it is possible to do? — Preceding

Hello, I have another question - I'm looking for a freeware alternative to Powerpoint that will allow me to display a basic image slideshow, flipping between images by pressing the space bar (or similar). Would have to run on XP. Does anyone have any suggestions? Horatio Snickers ( talk) 12:34, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Serious security flaw in OAuth, OpenID discovered How can I reproduce the Covert Redirect issue? I want to know what the attack looks like so I know what to watch out for. A Quest For Knowledge ( talk) 14:20, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm developing a website (in RoR) and I want to see if a user is logged in to my seperate mediawiki-application. I think a good way to solve it is to do an API-request to the mediawiki-application and check if the user is logged in. The only problem is that I have no experience at all with JSON or API:s :D.
The main problem is that when I do the API-query in my ruby app it is done on behalf of the server and not the user. I won't be able to see if the user is logged in but I can see if my server is logged in. Which I don't care for... Any solution on how to do this api-request on behalf of the user?
If I could do it like mediawiki does it would be fine. Here is an example: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&meta=userinfo&format=json
Maybe you could do some javascript that would solve this problem...
Any other solution linking an already existing mediawiki authentication system to a new app? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OXp1845 ( talk • contribs) 22:38, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
