A couple of quick questions about AOL Instant Messenger, google did not return the answers I was searching for, and of course aol's faqs didn't help. I'm using Trillian over the Aim protocol. 1. Is there a way to know who's buddy list your account is on? 2. If you remove a person from your buddy list, is there a way for that person to know? 3. If you are on somebody's buddy list, but they are not on your's, can they still know your status (i.e. 'brb', 'offline', etc)? Thanks in advance. 70.16.141.217 02:22, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
2. not usually, but if someone has an away message up, and you message them, they by default will ahve a "blah has sent you a message. display it?" dialogue, and not send their away message back to you. so you would know you are not on someones buddly list if you message them and dont get their away message. but if you disable that dialogue (its not even there in trillian i dont think) theres no way. short answer: no 3. yes Modesty84 02:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I hope this is the right forum for this question; if it's not, I'm sorry, and would appreciate a pointer to the right place!
At the end of March this year there was a Vote for Deletion for the article on the Ook programming language. I voted to keep, and the decision, I thought, was "no consensus to delete, so keep". Stupidly, I thought that was the end of it, so I didn't keep watching the page. Now I need the article and it's gone. Has there been another VfD while I wasn't paying attention? Any information on what's going on would be much appreciated. Thank you. WMMartin 06:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes there were a large number of AFDs on esoteric programming languages recently, one of which was on Ook! Personally I don't think it should have been deleted, and will probably take it to Deletion review. Meanwhile I posted the content of the article at User:The wub/Ook! for you to look at if you need it. the wub "?!" 11:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I use real VNC to monitor computers on my local network. Its only problem is it makes it obvious to the person that am monitoring that i am monitoring them......is there any way i can make it annonymus...... example.. get rid of it from the all programs section and in the taskbar... and make it run a server whenever they log on etc...
If not does anyone know of a better software i can use that doesent require me to install anything on the computer i am monitoring???????
Thankyou
origional poster: what program can i use to monitor network traffic??
Ok - bottom line...is it legal to download mp3s from sites such as Ares or Kaza? Am I breaking any laws? If so which ones? Is it legal (or different) in Canada vs the U.S.? I had heard that the U.S. had such laws on record and that Canada did not. I am being transferred to Colorado for 2-3 years and would like to understand the ramifications (if any) of such a practice.
Does anyone know if there are software products like wikipedia that you can put information on line and then search for key topics? Thank you. egd
I have an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard with a PCI-E Sapphire ATI Radeon X300SE with 64MB onboard VRAM. On the video card's box it says "256MB HyperMemory", which means it grabs it from system memory. This is a server machine, so I'd like to have that memory back. I run Ubuntu Dapper (Server) 6.06 and the reported memory in Linux is about 256MB less than it should be (I have 4G of RAM). Even the BIOS reports two numbers for RAM, 4G installed, and 3.8G (or so) "available". Is there any way I can reclaim this memory through jumpers/BIOS settings/software (without taking out the video card, just in case), since this is going to be a mostly headless machine? -- Silvaran 21:28, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
This is rather strange. I took the video card out completely, but the amount of RAM hasn't changed:
MemTotal: 3866852 kB
Any ideas? -- Silvaran 17:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I've heard bad things about compressed filesystems back in the days of DOS and Windows 3.1 ( DriveSpace and that sort of thing), but are they really that bad nowadays? I would like to compress my file system (or portions of it) to give myself more space. -- Zemyla t 21:45, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Are chemical computers and molecular computers the same thing? If not, then what's the difference between them? Are all molecular computers DNA computers? If not, then apart from DNA computers, what other types of molecular computers are there (or will there be)?
(I've read the articles on them but I still don't understand.)
