I'm about to buy a new graphics card. It has to be AGP as i don't hav a PCI-E and can't afford a new motherboard. I want the graphic card to be able to play most games available now. Ive so far been able to pick the XFX 7800GS Extreme. Is this a good card? Will it performe better than my current Geforce 6600LE? IS XFX a reputable company? Thank for your help!
Why does using active desktop for animations take up so much resources? For example, after this page loads, it runs at a normal framerate. However, if I put it on my desktop, it runs slowly, as well as slows everything down. -- JianLi 00:50, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I have some files I have on ubuntu server in qemu that I'd like to get to my host OS. What's the best way to do this? Is there any way to make a 100mb floppy disc image or something and mount it in ubuntu, then copy my files to it, release from ubuntu, then mount on my host OS? Or maybe a better way of doing it? Unfortunately the internet isn't exactly an option since I did a server install that didn't give me a web browser (and I don't want to download the iso again to get one). I think it loaded the right madwifi drivers (though ping doesnt work..) however it's a nightmare to set everything up for proxy. Any ideas? -- froth T C 05:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
offset=
option pointing to the start of the desired partition inside the image. The value to be given to the offset=
option can be found by using /sbin/fdisk
on the image, selecting expert mode, and printing the partition table; multiply the value at the Start
column by 512 (the sector size) to get the value to be used. Usually the Start
value is 63 (for the first partition), which means you should use -o offset=32256
. The final command will probably be something like mount -o ro,loop,offset=32256 -t ext3 example.img /mnt
. Don't forget to umount
before running the image again. --

Are there any good tools for creating a simple online database? I'd use Google Base, but I don't want my items indexable, and would rather restrict access to certain users. Don't need anything tubro-charged, just a simple list of items & fields. thanks. Please reply on my talk page. -- ZimZalaBim ( talk) 09:44, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
If my win modem cant be accessed using linux,is that just not a software/device driver problem? And also if newer versions of knoppix support visual basic runtime files(i saw it, but forgot the name) then wont this problem be over???
Is it possible to categorise the entire WIKIPEDIA subjectwise(computing,science,religion,etc) onto several DVD or BLU-RAY cds so as to benefit the entire world? Also just the links to images provided? Guess that would be easy as the information is already categorised.
Since DVD's are cheap and Movies are being produced in Blu-Ray/HD format, then why cant someone manufacture Blu-Ray/HD reader DVD/CD burner COMBO????????
I asked BLUray/HD READER...
I have a VCD and the formats of the songs are ".DAT". Are there any ways where I can turn it into some other formats (video or audio). Can it be converted to .mov or .mp3? Thanks!
I have a user subpage (85 KB) where I want to change the color hex strings that occur several hundred times on the page. If you might be interested in doing this or have suggestions on how to do it easily, please go to User talk:NoSeptember/List of Administrators#Note to color changer: where my request is explained in more detail.

One of my servers (Gateway 9315) has the following error: "Initialize runtime language module." Any clues what that means? More specifically, how to fix it? -- Kainaw (talk) 18:26, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I want to view some video clips hosted by Wikipedia, but they're in .ogg format. Is it possible for me to download a driver enabling me to view .ogg videos on Windows Media Player or Quicktime? Or do I need to download a separate program specifically to view these video files? It'd be a lot easier if files were just hosted as .mpeg. Thanks, NIRVANA2764 19:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey ya'll!
I'm after a very specific number or equation, used to crack numbered locks. It is used by repeatedly entering the number or equation - and, after continually entering the number, the door, lock, or other password opens.
I know that this number exists from an X-Files fan book, which covered series 1 and 2. In one of the episodes in series one and two, Scully and Mulder used this number/equation/code to get through a number-lock door. They had to repeatedly enter the number, and, eventually, they opened the door.
I can't say more than that, unfortunatly. However, if anyone has any other useful number/equation that does something similar to that, I'd love to hear about it. Scalene 22:03, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
