I receive quite a number of e-mails, ostensibly from people I know, usually sent to a number of addressees, with the heading "from: " followed by the person's name. The content is always just a web address (which I never click on) and the person's name. Should I be concerned about this, and should I notifying the supposed sender? Sorry if this is a well-known phenomenon that I ought to have known about! -- rossb ( talk) 08:17, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I have a brand-new, double-sided DVD. Both sides look pristine. The first side plays fine. When I attempt to play the second side on my Xbox 360, it the device hangs on "reading", with no error messages. Similar behavior when attempting to play second side on two other (Mac) computers. These devices have never had problems playing other DVDs. I have no DVD-player-only device to try the disk on. Questions:

To answer the OP's question. Each side is independent, and the Xbox 360 or any device doesn't have to know or care, what's on the other side. However it does appear that the way double sided dual layer DVDs are produced, it's a little more complicated even if you're always always bonding two discs together [2] [3].

Checking the Missed Calls on my phone, I found one from 1-326-800-1698. The caller ID was "3268001698". Out of curiosity, I looked up the area code at /info/en/?search=List_of_North_American_Numbering_Plan_area_codes#300.E2.80.93399 where it says "326: not used". I dialled the number and got the message, "We're sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialled. Please check the number and call again. This is a recording." Can anyone explain this? 99.225.220.233 ( talk) 18:43, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
I have an Epson c2900 laserjet printer that is low on black toner. I also have a HP laserjet 92298A black toner cartridge laying around.
Can I open them up and swap the toner into the Epson cartridge? Is HP and Epson black toner fundamentally different somehow?
