Can anybody offer any advice as to how to study for the computer science GRE? I have a few books with practice tests, but none of them offer any subject material to study. I've gone over most of the material in previous classes (besides algorithms, architecture, networking) but going over everything seems a bit overwhelming.
hi all, someone has told me that when I delete data (file, folder etc) stored on my computer, it is erased from the hard disk( physical area in CPU) leaving that area(certain blocks) useless i.e connot be used anymore for the purpose of the data storage, so my question is how can I shift those blocks at the end (In other words, put the nonempty blocks together) in order to fill the gaps in between. -- FOZ
I think you might be a little confused here but I'll see what we can do:

Thanx Harryboyles, it realy helped me alot.-- FOZ
Are there any softwares that allow you to edit music? For example i have a music file and I want to edit it so taht the vocals could be cut out and the piano part could be cut out? (more importantly are there any open source softwares like that?) Thanks!
When I'm at school I sometimes want to use my free time on the school's computers to play online games or browse pages, however these are often blocked. Our school's blocking software (provided by the NSW education dept) is quite smart and won't allow me to circumvent it by looking at Google's Cache or translating the page from english to english. Are there any other simple ways that allow someone to circumvent system blocks? -- AMorris (talk)● (contribs) 12:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC) (though it's probably not the wisest idea to put my name to this q.)
What font and settings are used for the "WikipediA" in the logo??-- Sonjaaa 15:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I think it's Garamond. This question has been asked before. Neat; I've never noticed that the 'A' was capitalized.-- epf 22:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I have somewhat of an idea about the difference between these two groups, but from what I know I cannot understand why the hate each other. Anyone have an answer?
I have Windows Mobile 5.0. Is there any way I can sync emails sent from my PDA over Wi-Fi with the 'Sent Items' folder on Outlook on my PC when I syuc the two devices. Many thanks, --
I'm very impressed how Dimensional analysis and Buckingham's pi theorem can be used to create a mathematical formula (or set of formulas) just from specifying the variables you think might be relevant. (The common example used is the formula for a pendulum).
I think it would be fun to have a software program that could take as input the user supplied list of variables, and output a formula (or more probably, a list of formulas) obtained by using Dimensional Analyis and the Pi theorem.
I am only an amateur programmer now and then, and I cannot think how I would begin to program such a thing.
Could anyone suggest how this might be done please? I suppose the problem can be broken down into how to represent the data and constraints, and how to transform them in accordance with Dimensional analysis and/or the pi theorem.
Further constraints that could be added are making the formulas consistent with levels of meaurment used (eg. ordinal etc), and with intensive and extensive measures (eg an extensive measure divided by an extensive measure gives an intensive measurement (I think)).

There are lots of books listed in Project Gutenberg that I would like to read. However it is not very comfortable sitting up by a desktop computer reading them, nor would I want to try to use a laptop to try to read them in bed.
I would like something that could fit into a large pocket, that I could comfortably read in bed or on the train. Something that can cope with .txt files. Ideally, something not too expensive.
What specific brand of device would people recommend please?
(By the way, I did read one book by printing out the text in tiny type in two columns onto sheets of paper, but it was too tedious a method to do again.)

I use a tablet PC. Its about the size of a etch and sketch. Many so called tablets are just laptops with a fancy hinge called "convertables" but some, like mine have no keyboard ( Mine does in its little notebook case) I carry a mouse and a rubber keyboard for when I can't reach my desktop. This brand was cheap; under a thousand bucks, but discontinued like the day after I bought mine so I'm not telling you its name. The pen is a bit dicey sometimes but thats what usb mice are for. The digital card reader is great cause I can clean out my cameras without going home. The sound with mine is tinny even with earphones. It understands my voice recognition software well. 31 July 2006 (UTC) ProtoGeek
My Dell Inspiron 5100 with 384K memory crashed and then mostly it wouldn't start up again, or it would start and fail to completely boot, or it would boot and fail quickly in some application. I swapped the 128K and 256K DIMMs in the two sockets, and it has been working now for two days. What made the difference? Can I have any confidence that this "solution" will last?

Do network admins of major US corporations have tools that will alert them of strange behavior on their intranets, such as a user slowly siphoning off data from the intranet onto a hard-drive and from there, uploading it onto a random ftp site?
I run XP SP 2. When I visit gmail via either ie 6 or the most recent firefox, I can log in, but after page says "loading," all I can see is a blank page. I suspect the problem may be a setting in my firewall (Kerio personal ed.) Thank you. Amanaplanacanalpanama 23:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm trying to find any source for article Ubervisor, but failed to find any. Article in IBM Systems Journal (linked in article) do not contain such term. Is this original research? -- 89.104.121.156 23:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
