Does anyone know how an SMS to 466453 ("Google SMS") work? I've read various things, and most just say that shortcodes are service-provider implemented, and that there's a shortcode database that manages stuff like this. But really, how does the message get routed? Does it go through an email gateway, then to Google, and back? Jdstroy 06:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I plan to buy a 20 inch TFT screen. I´m using a eight year old Pentium II computer with a Riva 128 graphics card (without DVI connector) running Linux (Debian Etch). Can a computer be too slow for a big screen? Will the operating system and the graphics card be able to facilitate a 1400x1050 or 1600x1200 (SyncMaster 203B or 204B) resolution? Thanks in advance, Michael -- 208.101.59.30 07:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I have been trying to write a programme in python to mark a sudoku already solved by a play.I must confess that it has not been easy. Please could you just give me a clue? Thanks 196.21.78.18 12:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)Margaret
I have a problem on implementing NTLM on Mediawiki 1.7.1 on Ubuntu 6.06. i cannot get mod_ntlm to work on Apache2. it just don't compile. What i really need is a automatic login on windows infested intranet. Nothing fancy, i just want mediawiki to fetch username and password from Active Directory. I'm not too good with php. Any suggestions how to proceed to overcome this obstacle?

How can I access the options hidden by the manufacturer in the BIOS? I googled around and I tried the Ctrl+F1 and SHIFT+F2+ALT+F3 combinations but they didn't work. I use an Award bios with MS-6719 motherboard from MSI (which is an oem-only board). I am trying to avoid flashing my BIOS. The reason is that I wish to upgrade my RAM but unfortunately the Memory timing settings (CAS Latency and such) is hidden. I'm not sure if I need to modify them but I thought I would just make them available just to make sure.
Also is there a program that allows me to modify bios settings from Windows? -- 龙★Ukdragon37★翔 talk 14:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Since I use a always on DSL connection, and use it through an Ethernet port, I must turn off modem everytime I want to disconnect. Can I disable LAN by right clicking on it everytime I want to disconnect? If I disable and enable LAN, will it cause any trouble for LAN card or modem? Is there no problem if I do it and do it as many times I want? Is there any better way to disconnect than disabling LAN?
I always create file in one location.But the file is related to various folders.So i create shortcuts in other folders so that all shortcuts have the same target. The problem is when i make a back up copy in a CD or Flash drive the shortcuts are also copied with the same target.When i open that CD or flash drive in another computer the target file is not found in that computer.Is there any way to avoid this problem?
Thanks Ukdragon for very very valuable answer.That was what i exactly wanted.I tried it in my PC.But it did not work.I typed the relative path name on 'Target' box of the properties window of the shortcut.The system did not accept it saying 'invalid path name' or 'path name does not exist' [user:amrahs]
I have a question. Which one of these two NVidia VGAs are more "powerful"? The GeForce FX 5200 (64 ou 128 Mb) or the GeForce4 MX 4000 (128 Mb)? Thank you. Answer urgent!! CG 19:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
I've been downloading several 3+gb torrents using Azureus for the past couple of weeks. Recently Azureus has been crashing for an unknown reason. When I restart it everything is fine with my downloads. Last night Azureus crashed again and when I restarted 4 of the 5 torrents which were downloading which were at around 50-60% were all suddenly reporting that only 4% of each torrent was complete. On checking further I noticed that the pieces which remained were mostly clustered around the first files worth of pieces. Can anybody explain what's happened? I can see small amounts being deleted if it was corrupt but why would ~50% suddenly become corrupted when it's survived crashing in the past. -- Kiltman67 20:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm not a computer professional who knows all about computers so I need help! My computer's volume is gone and it's not coming back! I checked the troubleshooting part of my computer and completed all the instructions to get the volume back, but it still doesn't work. This happened before but one my cousins fixed the problem, but I don't know how he did it! So if anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Himanyo 21:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Nothing. Himanyo 00:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Been there. Done that! I appreciate your help, but it didn't work. Thanks anyways! Himanyo 23:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
If you're talking about having lost the volume control thing in the taskbar, what you need to do is go into your control panel (through your start menu), get to the sound control, and find the checkbox that says something like "show volume control on the taskbar". - Rainwarrior 20:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
How do I read a bitmap file (like from Microsoft Paint, or possibly PaintShop Pro) into and out of an array in Java? Black Carrot 21:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
import javax.imageio.ImageIO; import java.awt.image.BufferedImage; import java.io.*; public class Bmp { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { File file = new File("image.bmp"); BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file); System.out.println("size: " + image.getWidth() + " x " + image.getHeight()); } }
