How to delete a list (not a listing) in ebay?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

With the new design for ebay i don't know how to delete a list.

I don't mean a listing for an auction. I mean the list you use to organize your watchlist.

I tried using ebay live chat but I just waited for 15 minutes and when I finally talked to the person they kept telling me how to delete a listing even though I explained to them several times I meant a list. And they took 5 minutes in between each response. ebay customer service is the worst.

Answer:go to my ebay summary page on your account. Here it will list items you are watching, selling etc. You can expand, move up or down or hide any of the ones you want by going into edit on the far right hand side of the title column. EG active selling.

If you mean that you want to delete items you are watching in a list, then you can use the tick boxes against the sides of the items you are watching and then click on the delete tab.

Confused.com… Is batch files the best approach?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

I have 8449 input files that I have to open manually in a VB6 form, then I have to press a calculate button for the outputs but they are only available in prn files so I made another button to convert the output file to .txt files. As there are so many input files I am wondering if there is anyway I could open these files in the selected program and press the buttons in order… I have began looking at batch files but is this the best approach to take? I want to loop through the files and perform commands (ie press the buttons) on each of them. I am not a programmer and I know very little on VB6 or batch files so as much help and detailed explaination as possible would be much appreciated :)

Answer:In a way, batch files can open open files with programs by using the filename as a command-line argument when starting the program. It can also do basic file operations like searching for files in a folder, writing to files, deleting them, copying, moving, and renaming them. But batch files cannot interact with programs in a way that it clicks a button on a window.

Windows has another scripting language called vbscript which can, at the closest of interacting with another window form, send keystroke commands to the operating system. So maybe you could load each of those files into that program (with that program's window focused), and use vbscript to send keystrokes to press a hotkey or keyboard shortcut within that program to activate that button.

Otherwise, you could use C or C to do this task by sending window messages to that program to click a button while looping through to the next file for each iteration.

Is my computer a lost cause?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

My great big dog came running around an end table and knocked it over which sent my plastic cup of water flying. The end result was the water in the cup landed all over my keyboard on my brand new Dell Laptop. Now the laptop isn't working. Is my motherboard fried or is there something else I should be looking to try to get it to power up? Thank you in advance.

Answer:If your computer is not powering up at all it is most likely going to be a lost cause because most laptops are more expensive to fix than replace unless it is under warrenty. If your computer powers up but the keyboard is the only thing that is not working you can try and see if the system works with an external keyboard.
Answer:Sounds like it is fried, i would leave it a while to completely try out and then try powering it up again.
Answer:Take the battery out and leave it off for a few days.

Then try it.

If it doesn't work, put in a warranty claim. Just tell them it doesn't work.

I don't know if water damage is covered, and/or whether or not they can tell,so don't mention it.

That's your best bet.

(If it's 'brand new' it will have at least a 1-year warranty.)

How do I shorten my source code?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

I have a website, it is going to be a web app (it's super secret right now). It works, however my source code is far to long. It has 482,921 lines of raw code, split into 244 different web pages, CGI scripts, Perl scripts, Ruby rails, Flash external files etc. It also contains 1,324,000 characters of code. Every time I run the code, my computer freezes up for about 10 mins. Is there a way to compress the code (Preferably to under 100k lines of code and 500,000 characters)?

I am also programming this very quickly, and I estimate that the source code will reach and mloc by this time next year, and this will kill the end user's computer. So I need for this to be a quick process.

Just another thing: I have already gotten a BSOD from running the code, and I have a lot of HDD space and tons of RAM. I am afraid that most of the people who try my software will simply not be able to use it.

Thanks in advance!

Answer:100k lines and 500k characters is 5 characters/line. I guess that's better than the 3 chars/line you say you have now, but it's still dreadful even if you're getting the character counts from a tool that only counts non-whitespace. If if 1.3M characters is the total of file sizes (that's useful for estimating load and download times) then one character (two in Windows) of each line are newline characters.

That means about a third of your source (482K / 1324K) consists of newlines! The fraction is smaller but still lousy if the character count excludes newlines. One tool you might consider is a source compression program. These are frequently used on HTML and scripts to reduce download times. Such a tool will remove all comments and unneeded whitespace. Some will even rename local variables. (This is more to combat reverse engineering than for performance, but it if reduces file sizes, then why not)

You only use this on the debugged deliverable code, not on your development copy, obviously. Even so, it can cause problems with troubleshooting bugs in deployed code. So, there are consequences to consider. (…like: An obfuscator might make perl code actually *easier* to read. :^) I don't use one, but google for "ruby code compression", "html code compression", etc. Each language needs a different tool.

For your code itself, the primary tool for reducing code size is the brain. Factor common code into functions and methods. Use tables to drive the initial construction of objects.

The CGI (including perl) scripts and Rails code won't affect your users, by the way. Those stay on the server. Treat server-side and client-side optimization as separate issues.

Answer:There's no program that will just simply shorten your code, it needs to be done by hand by people with obviously better programming experience then you.
Answer:Like he said above, but it looks like the fact of the matter is that you just have alot of things in your website. I would try taking out somer of the unecessary things, like flash. You can most likely achieve the same affect that flash would give you with another programming language (try html 5 and just simple html/css)
Answer:What the heck are you programming?!!

As far as I know, there is no way to compress your code.

I don't know what kind of app you're writing, but I believe you have made a mistake in architecture of your software, so that it has become this much large.

And about the resources, again, be sure that there is a mistake in your code that you need that much resource.

I have no idea for a quick solution. All I can say you have to check your code (or at least some critical parts) to find where the problem is.

Maybe a profiler can help…

Answer:244 web pages ????

I corrected one of these once: 3850 "pages", one page for every item in the catalogue!!! How stupid can this be?

It ended up with ONE page and a database…

Obviously, efficiency in coding is not your forté!

You just need to add Joomla and another CMS, a few movies, jsquery and your SERVER will crash!

The problem is that you are using a phletore of pieces of code that all contain masses of totally redundant code, images, folders and so on.

Joomla would takes 26Mb on your server, where you would probably need 200k!!!

You are the coder who uses "already written" pieces of code, without streaming them (or, probably, did not even bother going into them).

It is time for you to start "professionaly"…

Scrap ALL your site.

Start writing using a text editor, in HTML, javascript, php and mysql. Use photoshop for your images, structure your database and your folder's tree.

Re-write the new, following what the old code does, and stream EVERY function: you will see that 90% of them are useless (RoR is very good at it!)

Remove methods from classes that you don't call! (A "pdf" class can be several Mb, but if you use only one method of 100 lines, the rest of the whole class can be removed. (In fact, MANY classes can just be removed: it is like to make a function to call a function that calls a function: write ONE function that does the job and you won't need classes!

(remember: most of the code, to run properly, must be in RAM on the server or user's machine. Windows is a particular good waster of space, using classes everywhere)

I bet your WHOLE site can be re-written, manually, about 50Mb TOTAL.

I just completed a FULL e-commerces, interactive, with plenty of images:

Images: 29Mb, Code: 274kb!!!

… and it is in 3 languages, has an admin and a CMS.

(The largest code I wrote was a clone of Y!A, with 570kb of code…)

Answer:Source code length doesn't matter. You need to look into techniques that load your code when the server starts and keep it in memory. Example: mod_perl for Perl code running in Apache.

How is paypal system provide security of money?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

i want to do some shopping from a website…though the website looks legit but i wud like to ask how paypal provides security of my money

Answer:UNLESS you are using a PayPal credit card, they are just an intermediary, and you would have as good, if not better, security FOR YOUR MONEY using your credit card directly.

Their ONLY advantage is that the seller NEVER gets YOUR card information, instead getting the PayPal information.

The PROBLEM is that, being an intermediary, you can NOT get a refund from them as easy as if you use a "direct" payment, if there is a problem with the sale.

(You can NOT "cancel" the payment authorization with your card issuer if there is a dispute, you are REQUIRED to go through the PayPal dispute procedures.)

Answer:Checking the PayPal FAQ page may help you better understand them.
Answer:I'm pretty sure PayPal is the safest way to transfer money. just don't transfer to anything that doesn't look "Legit".

—–Ryan

Answer:Hi.I have used paypal many times before and it is safe. Never had any problems. Just make sure that site that you are shopping on….doesn't provide a fake log in to paypal's web site.If it is a fake login page, you will get scammed big time.

Switch out of myspace beta? urget!?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

i absolutely HATE the new myspace beta.

how can i switch my profile back to 1.0?

or even 2.0?

i looked on the myspace help and ive googled it and i cant find anything helpful.

it said something about going to customize and then clicking reset but there is no reset option.

please help, it is important to me.

Answer:How can you switch back to Profile 1.0 or 2.0?If you upgraded to the new profile beta, all your previous design elements have been preserved. You will be able to revert to your old profile design for the duration of the beta period following your upgrade to the new profile. All HTML, CSS, and other customized content have been saved exactly as you created it.

To revert to your old profile, here’s what you do:

1.mouse over Profile and choose Customize Profile

2.click the Reset button on the lower left side of the dialog box

3.click the Yes, switch back button on the Go Back Options dialog box

4.click the Yes, switch back button on the dialog box that appears to complete the revert process

Important stuff to know:

•you can revert to your old profile as long as the new profiles are in beta, but eventually, all profiles will have to migrate to the new style

Answer:Go to edit profile, switch to myspace 2,0 (or 1.0)

if it's not there, your screwed.

External DVD Drive occasionally works..?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

I'm borrowing an External DVD Drive/Re Writer from the parents, the one in my computer is… Well, broken.

When I first plugged it in, it installed itself, read the first CD and allowed me to install. However, since removing that first CD, placing the second one in, it has only ever read a CD twice. I've opened/closed hundreds of times. Turned off/on, re-installed, Done the Master/Slave checks, and scoured the internet for other solutions, finding none that work. Any solutions?

Running Windows XP SP2, the drive is LG External Super Multi-DVD re-writer.

Answer:upgrade to SP3, that will probably fix your problems. Early versions of windows XP has problems with DVD drives.

Hope This Helps!!!

What is a constructor in a Java Program and what is its purpose?

It is the method that is called to create an object. It is used to create and initialize the object.

Answer:It is that part of the Java class where you usually want to initialise some parameters. When you create an instance of the class or instantiate the class, the constructor is called. You can also put arguments in your constructor.

Is this hardware failure?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

I installed an XFX Ati 5750 two weeks ago, the day after that, I installed win7. My computer's performance steadily declined. The XFX recommended 450 or 500w PSU, I was runnin a 350, replaced with a 400 last night, still no difference in performance even in mundane tasks. a major reason I was thinking PSU was at initial start up, it takes almost twice the time for it to read my RAM than it did with XP and first days of Win7.

I decided to put XP back on, and now it doesn't recognized the onboard ethernet. When the cable is plugged in, the green LED lights up on the board, but no recognition. Lots of variables I know, but does it definitely sound like hardware failure? I did try some drivers last night with the install and it said there was an error.

Answer:Both of your problems sound like incompatible driver issues. I've read reviews that say the XFX Ati 5750 is fully compatible with Win7, but you have to make 100% sure that you are using the correct driver to match the OS. If you are installing the drivers from a CD that came with the hardware, it is possible that the CD does not contain the correct driver for the newer OS. In that case, you would have to visit the hardware manufacturer's website and obtain the correct driver. Also note that Win7 comes in two versions: 64 bit and 32 bit. To determine which version you have, click the Windows Orb icon (classic start button) and right-click on "Computer", then select "Properties". Find where it says "System type". To the right it will say either 64-bit or 32-bit. When searching for drivers for Win7, be sure to install the correct version.

As for your second problem, it also sounds like an incompatible driver issue. Searching for drivers can be a pain. To find out if you have missing or incompatible drivers in WinXP, you can check the Device Manager. To open Device Manager, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. If there is a driver issue with any of your installed devices, you will see a yellow question mark next to the installed device. If a device does not show up on this list, and you know you have it installed, then there may be a problem with the actual device.

Answer:I don't think that the drivers for the hardware are correct. You need to install the driver from the manufacturer's website to get the devices to work.
Answer:try repairghost.com for all your computer help, dude. they are very reliable.

they offer remote assistance, just go to the live chat and they will set up a price for you if it isn't on there list

Is there any way to allocate more bandwidth into a specific program?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

for instance, i want this game to run smoother by putting more bandwidth towards it, are there any programs or windows features for this?

Answer:Not in Windows, and not in your Netgear router. Now if you had an (extremely expensive) Cisco router, and a CCNA certification, then you could do that via something called Quality of Service (QoS).

You *CAN* allocate more processor time to your game. Once the game is running, open your task manager. Go to the "Processes" tab. Right click the .exe name of your game. Then you can "Set Priority". WARNING: Do not ever set any process to "Realtime". That will stop giving CPU time to ALL other processes, including, for instance, the process needed to detect mouse and keyboard input. In other words, it'll freeze everything except for the "Realtime" process.

Answer:Nope
Answer:Some Windows have some form of QoS, but I'm not sure that it applies to applications – just network links.

Certain routers can have QoS that can prioritize traffic based on the protocol or ports used by any application, but that is specific to any given model of router… Also, it is specific to the "port" in use, so if more than one application uses the same outgoing port, you cannot control traffic to just one application.

Read up on the manual for your specific router, see if it has QoS, and if so, if it can manage by ports. Then see if your application uses a specific port….

Where can i print (NOT DOWNLOAD) sheet music for free?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

i want to find sheet music (all sorts) for piano without having to download or pay a fee. any ideas?

Answer:If you download the sheet music…you can then print it?

But anyway, use scribd.com for a quick search and find for any sorts of documents (i printed out Divenire by Ludovico Einaudi about an hour ago from there – if you don't know him – then go to youtube NOW!)

Alternatively pianofiles.com, basically every piano song in the history of the ever ever there.

Both I think require you to "sign up" but i've never once been sent a spam email or annoying advert once from them.

I was wondering how you can make an admin anonymous, if you create a group on Facebook? Because I would like that next to the comments and pictures there would be the name of the group and not the name of the founder. Can this be done?

Answer:In the groups the creator becomes an admin, and the admins are showed. To be anonymous you should create a Facebook page. Page creators are anonymous and their messages are shown as written by the page and not by them.

This guide will explain you how to create a page on Facebook:

How to create fake virus?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

Plz tell me or give a link that i can learn to create fake virus.

Answer:Visit YouTube and type "how to make fake virus" and you will get allot of videos on how to make fake virus's.
Answer:BE CAREFUL! most viruses will be real!!!! an alternative would be to move all of something on the desktop into a hidden folder (everything but remember where it is) and find a background that is all blue!
Answer:hehehe I will tell u how to make one now!!!

first, open notepad. type the following

Start Cmd.bat

Cmd.bat

now save the file to the desktop as Cmd.bat

it should look like a little gear. Right click it, hit properties. change the icon so it looks like a common thing the person uses, like Internet Explorers icon. Rename it so it reads Internet Explorer. now it should look exactly like the shortcut.

delete the old shortcut off the desktop. that way there isnt 2 of the same thing. dont worry, this wont delete the real program.

when its launched, it will make the command prompt start, and tell it to start a new one, keep looping. it will make so many of them, the computer will run out of RAM and freeze up. it will have to be force shut down, or unplugged to unfreeze it.

This doesnt harm the computer, it pisses people off tho!!

have fun!!!

Myspace password forgot?!?!?!?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

Okay. Someone gave me my account. It is a 1.0, so im really happy with it! But then someone hacked my account, and changed my password… And considering I don't have access to the email, I can't figure out how to get it back! Is there anyway I can have my password sent to a different email to where I can get back on and change the password??

Answer:no, in order to change the e-mail, you

have to be logged in, and change the settings.

your best bet, would hopefully either be they

do what they want with it, and then be done with it.

make another myspace, send them a message,

asking for it back.

other than that your out of luck.

How do i make a video response on youtube?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

how can I make a video response on you tube? thank you

Answer:To make a video response on Youtube you have to:

All you need to do is click in the box for a text response, then off to the right of it a link appears that says "Attach a video", forget the text box and click the link. From there it's the same as before. Make sure it is on the persons Youtube video and you are signed in. Oh whos Youtube is it BTW

Answer:You go to the comment a when you post a comment, on the side it has a little icon of a camera and just click that.
Answer:When you are watching a video on the box where you type a comment you click on attach a video.

Then it leads to a page on what you want to do. Record a video, choose a video (this means to choose a video you already made), or upload a video

Answer:Depends on what you want to do. Facebook is good for keeping in touch with your friends and making more friends. Linkedin is good for knowing people on a professional level and job hunting. Twitter is good for marketing. Take your pick.

Regards,

ihaveapc.com

Answer:Myspace, since its been around longer there are way more people, which means probably most of your friends have a myspace.
Answer:It all depends on what you want out of them. Facebook is by and far the most popular Social Network out there with over 500 million registered users. LinkedIn is great for making business connections. Twitter is a microblogging site that many business people use in conjunction with LinkedIn.

Ultimately, the best social network is the one that fits your goals and needs (and has an audience that matches YOUR desired audience).

If you could provide more information as to what you want to get out of a social network, I'd be happy to recommend a social network that would align with your needs.

Answer:Later versions are better for IE but I would recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox as these will run faster and much easier.
Answer:hey,ask this on techjungle.info to get experts solve ur problem,

i always get my problem solved there.

you can post it as a question in software category.

thanks

Answer:Download firefox browser its free also faster and more secure.You can also install extra addons that will download what you watch.
Answer:If you're running IE6 and your computer can handle IE8, you should definitely consider upgrading. IE8 has more compatibility with websites than any other web browser. Some websites have content that can only be viewed in IE8. If you use Firefox or Chrome, you won't be able to see it. Same thing with earlier versions of Internet Explorer such as version 6. IE8 also has lots of new features including tabbed browsing, private browsing, domain highlighting, etc.

Answer:Are you living in a cave?!?!

You still running IE6?!?!?!?

Upgrade to IE8 IMMEDIATELY!

It has more advantage than I can count! Performance, security, features, compatibility, …

If you want to have great experience of browsing, no matter what browser you choose, but use the LATEST VERSION!

…What do I buy?
I don't want to spend a TON of money, but enough to make listening to my ipod enjoyable. I don't care about pumping out a ton of bass and blowing people's hats off so much as having a good, crisp, balanced sound while I drive, even at higher volumes.

I know there's a lot of things you can buy- Amp, speakers, sub, and car stereo. What things will make the biggest difference and what should I look for? I probably won't spend more than 2-3 hundred in all.

Right now I run my ipod through a cassette adapter and some songs have clear deep bass while most buzz the speakers and sound bad- I have to turn the bass a little lower than normal to keep it under control.

I know switching to a stereo cable may make a big difference but speakers might as well. I may not even need an amp, but I've never dealt with car audio before so if you can share any insight with me or help me know what to put my money towards, I would be especially grateful!

Answer:Ok, so you want some quality tunes? Fair enough and this is really easy. If you have already gone to a local car audio store they probably told you that you need a whole bunch of things you don't understand. (Not trying in insult your intelligence) They are salesman too… I have owned a $2000.00 sound system and only later realized that i can get the same at only a fraction of the cost and get the same great sound. DO NOT be afraid of doing car audio yourself, it's not at all complicated. Everything comes with directions and with the internet your resources are limitless.

Your head unit( cd player) is where all the magic begins. The better the head unit the better the signal is going to your speakers, now with that let me say this, no head unit can do great things with factory speakers.

You need to upgrade your head unit first. I have used several different brands and can advise you that they ARE NOT all the same. The three best brands that i have personally used are: 1. Kenwood 2. Pioneer 3. Alpine
KENWOOD: Has many great options and is moderately priced. This brand was very user friendly and received many compliments on it's apperance. PIONEER: Very user friendly and very well priced (low). They are the most stylish out of the three. Most have a great equalizer that can be custom tuned. ALPINE: They are kinda plain but they will rock FOREVER! They are simple to operate as they don't have much to them ( without advanced audio equipment). They are a little higher in price, which is truly their only downfall. Your head unit is like your PC, it controls everything. It doesn't matter if you have the best monitor in the world, if your PC tower is junk then the rest is no better. Installing a head unit takes nothing more than attention and patience, If you decide to save yourself $75.00 and install it yourself then here are some pointers: Your going to need an adapter so that you can wire your new head unit in your factory stereo system. You can get the complete kit at Walmart.com and they have these kits for almost all makes and models. this will run you about $25.00. Now your going to have to take your dash apart…sounds scary huh? it's not that bad for most cars and your can find instructions for that on the internet.

Now for the bass issue in your factory speakers… Factory speakers are made with a high quality cardboard( thats what i call it) and they are very easy to make distort and possibly pop. Now if your wanting a good crisp sound then your speakers are an issue. Replacing your speakers is very affordable. Once again i have used several different brand and there are two that i recommend highly.
PIONEER AND VISONIK

Now with replacing your head unit and speakers there are some other things you should put your attention to, like the watts.
When you purchase your head unit look at how many watts/channels it has. This is important because you will not have an amplifier to push your speakers so you want a head unit that will be able to do it by itself. A good general watts/channels is 50w/4, this equals up to a total of 200 watts put to the speakers or 50 watts to each speaker(four speakers). Something else to watch out for is something like 50w/2, this means that you only have 100 watts, which again is only 25w to each speaker(four speakers). See how this works? You want your head unit to push your replacement speakers correctly so when you purchase speakers look at their total watts. You want your watts to be as equal as possible without overloading your speakers. (Yes you can do this with only a head unit) Speaker size is important because you will have to find out what size are currently installed.

EXAMPLE: You find a head unit that reads 60w/4 (240w), then you find speakers that come in pairs(2) that are 150w total output, and you need four so now you have 300w total output. This is a good find cause now you can push your speakers properly without overloading them.

Now where to go to purchase these… Believe it or not Walmart.com is a great place to start. There is nothing wrong with purchasing their equipment, it is just as good as everyone else's. Plus their prices are very competitive and you can get your adapter, head unit, and speakers there. You should go by there and maybe a local car audio dealer and try some of the head units out and see what you like best.
This whole project can be as cheap as $177.00, and can run up to and even beyond $378.00.
Good luck and short of knowing what the make and model of your car is this is as far as i can advise you. Please feel free to ask me any clarification questions….

Answer:Amps, subs, ect, make alot of difference. But the best place to start, is replacing your stock speakers (Unless you have a newer car with decent ones)

Kenwood speakers are damned good speakers for not too much money (In relation to other car speakers).

Also, when getting an amp and subs, expensive doesn't always mean good quality. Shop around.

And when getting an amp and sub, make sure the wattage and RMS are the same on both the amp and the sub. Too little or too much power going from the amp to the sub ban be damaging to the subs.

Answer:I've always found Crutchfield to be full of good background information. I have bought replacement speakers for my last two cars from them. The speakers I bought were at least twice as heavy as those they replaced. This additional weight is the magnet which has a huge impact on the sound. They include detailed installation information geared to your make, model, and year car.
Answer:The car stereo has now become an integral part of the decoration of the car. Car manufacturers today have recognized the fact that in-car entertainment constitutes an integral part of a modern car. So, from the time of a simple radio being fitted into the car until now, technology has taken a revolutionary step towards the advancement of the car audio system. Many brands have started manufacturing various components of the car stereo system.

Since there are so many choices and most of them depend soley on your budget, I sugest you call or visit http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/ and get their advice.

Which Linux Distro is Right for Me?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

Okay so I wanna install linux. I have had experience with debian based distros like mint (gloria) and ubuntu (9.04 – 10.04 LTS). I need it to be easy to use, look pretty, and be compatible with my amd64 processor. I also need it to be compatible with programs to write assembly code and java. If you could recommend a distro that has all this to me, then that would be great!

Thanks,

javadriveby

Answer:I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

Linux Mint 9 Download

The Perfect Desktop – Linux Mint 9 (Isadora)

http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-de…

Linux Mint 9 User Guide Download pdf.

http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_isadora.php

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

Linux Mint 9 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive

Also you can try out as many different Linux distros. as you like until you find the one thats right for you DISTROWATCH.COM gives full listings (second lists the major distributions)

Answer:I think Ubuntu is the easiest to use.
Answer:I've never tried it but I've heard that kubuntu is as easy to use as ubuntu except that it has a KDE desktop(which looks cooler than ubuntu gnome). But I'm pretty sure that you can also get KDE on ubuntu, but idk how.

also..how do you go from assembly to java?? you jumped like 5 levels right there lol

Answer:Linux distros don't differ in terms of program compatibility. Generally speaking, if a program is available for one Linux distro, it's also available for another Linux distro. What problems did you have with Linux Mint and Ubuntu?
Answer:you've tried the debian based distro's with no joy, so why not try a redhat based distro ?

What do you think about Myspace,Facebook, and Twitter?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags: , ,

Here's what I think:

Myspace: I don't like it, it's really confussing.

Facebook: I like it! (Actually I ♥ it!) :D I can keep up with all of my friends via facebook! (:

Twitter: It's ok I guess. I guess you could say it's pointless, but you get to know what people think about it. I have a twitter, but I just 'mini-blog' about stuff and base my opinions about it. haha:]

Answer:My Space : i used to have one , but i am not using it, Twitter to, i find them different

but i use and prefer facebook bcz it is easy and all my friends are there :

Answer:hit thumbs up if you have ever heard of the tv show jersey shore
Answer:I like social networks as they try their hardest to do what they say, which is to bring people closer together and bring about a sense of community. But then again there are hundreds of stories which I believe are worst case scenarios but that's still no excuse. But overall they do bring people closer and I believe that social networking is only going to get bigger. For example, my brother posted his engagement party on Facebook and we believe more people said that they would come because of this. Anyway, that's what I think. Hope it's of use
Answer:Websites in which money was invested, and then they started getting the profits. An easy and good way to let the people communicate each other. But, like every technology is being misused, these websites are also being misused by some people/companies. I have been reading about these fraudulent cases in an article. What they need to do is to monitor things closely.

Mp3 installation went wrong! Please Help Urgent!! I

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

So I bought a Philips Mp3 player (GoGearVibe).

I came home and wanted to plug it in the USB port and charge as it says in the instructions. So I plugged it in, in the Administrator user so it can recognize a new device. And also the player comes with an installation CD. I put in the installation CD and in started installing or something. But then something weird happens, and it says error as if the Philips Mp3 player wasn't recognized or so…The CD completed the instalation (I got features such as Windows Media Player and Media Converter for videos and device manager and etc.) And then this like window pops up from the Philips device manager I just installed saying it cannot find the player itself or that it is not connected. So I disconnected it from the USB port and connected it again, hoping it would recognize it. But NOTHING happened. Like my computer didnot see any device connecting. So it just sat there. I checked in My Computer to see if there was anything there (GoGear Vibe Mp3 Player) And no…NOTHING. I tried many other times, but my computer just does not see it. I'm really desperate and I don't know what to do.

What can I do now?

Is changing my computer the only solution?

How do I start all over again?

It just seems that now that the damage is done, I cannot make time go back….Ugh.

I install a game on my pc the minimum requirement of processor is 3GHz my pc is 2.27GHz is it ok to continue?

playing the game even i play it and work it on my 2.27GHz already what about the future is there crashing or hang etc. happen if i continue playing it??thank you and more power

Answer:This depends on what kind of processor you have and what kind of processor the game requires. If the game requires a Pentium 4 @ 3.0Ghz and you have something like a Core 2 Duo or a Core i5, your processor actually exceeds the minimum requirements.

I install a game on my pc the minimum requirement of processor is 3GHz my pc is 2.27GHz is it ok to continue?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

playing the game even i play it and work it on my 2.27GHz already what about the future is there crashing or hang etc. happen if i continue playing it??thank you and more power

Answer:it will still work but it will just not look as good
Answer:It also depends on the type of processor. Often times, the minimum might be a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz but you'll have a Dual-Core at 2.2Ghz or a situation like that. As long as your processor is of a newer architecture than the minimum, you'll be ok.

The game should not allow you to install if you do not meet the minimum system requirements. If however your game starts to crash, then (assuming that your PC is free of viruses and mal/spyware) then you may need to upgrade some things (CPU, Video Card, PSU, etc)

Answer:Won't do any harm, just might run a bit choppy, and COULD refuse to install.

Also, GHz is not the only measurement, today's processors tend to be more efficient, than the first ones to reach those clock speeds.

Far more important that the graphics reach the minimum requirement, as that tends to be more critical to performance or being able to run a game at all, the usual key feature being hardware TnL, a feature missing from many onboard graphics systems.

Why on my laptop all of a sudden my laptop screen just goes blue and writin comes up i follow the insturctions?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

and it still does notin its not a virus HELP PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:You may NOT have to reformat your system. The poster above isn't very good at solving problems if that is the limit of his expertise.

BSOD's can be caused by a number of thing's. drivers and .dll files get corrupted or hardware begins to fail,etc. What should be done is if you get a BSOD ,write down the error code and information it shows on the screen.. If your machine can be restarted look up the error code (usually a bunch of )'s and a few other numbers and letters thrown in) on google. usually that will return enough hits to help you start diagnosing what the problem is.

From past experience i can honestly say the most common reasons for BSOD's are problems with RAM and Video cards. Sometimes a re-seating of them will correct the problem other times a replacement is needed. occasionally a .dll will cause it,especially if there are viruses on the system and they OS expects to find a file of a certain size and it encounters one of a different size due to infection.

Start off with the error code and look it up. Not everything requires a formatting of the hard drive and re installation of the OS.

Answer:Sounds like "blue screen of death"; you need to reformat your computer. Put your windows XP/Vista or whatever disk in the drive and restart.

If you don't have the disk, find one or buy one.

Answer:What are the instructions? Most likely

There can be two issues:

1. Virus (Use Avast free)

2. Corrupt registry (Use Reginout )

I am sure it will help you.

Answer:switch the laptop off straight away it is the blue screen of death you will need to reinstall if not got disc try and switch computer back on and download windows from download sites i.e isohunt the pirate bay etc and install that way good luck but definatly needs reinstalling and if your laptop has got a burning rom try and burn windows aswell u need to make sure the windows you get is patched cracked etc

Buying a laptop for college?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

What are the main things to look for, not just for college, but all around good laptop features?

Answer:make sure it comes with windows already installed. if not your gonna have to buy it and its more expensive. Also get a laptop lock, its like $10 and totally worth it!
Answer:Check with the college's computing department to make sure your laptop will support their requirements, if any. For example, Virginia Tech requires you to get a tablet PC, which significantly cuts down your choices.

That is not to say you -must- use their laptop. But in the case of VT, class materials are sometimes distributed in a proprietary format for their tablet-enabled note-taking software, and you will have an additional headache to deal with if you've got to work around this every time you take a quiz or go over study aids your professor gives you.

Answer:I'm sure someone else will also say this: "It depends." What do you mean "all around good laptop features"? There are three things that people look for in laptops:

1. Lightweight

2. Powerful

3. Inexpensive

You can never have all three of those things. You can usually pick two, but depending on what's happening in the market, you may not be able to get an inexpensive laptop with a powerful graphics card.

Let me make the case for a Mac. As a student, you won't have time to be futzing around with viruses and stuff.

Do you know the proverb, "The proof is in the pudding"? Let's consider Yahoo Answers "Computers and Internet" category the pudding, ok? Look at a few pages of Computers and Internet. Most if not all of them will have somebody asking for help to remove a virus. Are any of those questions from Mac users? No.

Mac haters will give me thumbs down and scream until they're blue in the face that Macs can get viruses. OK. If that's so then why aren't they asking for help on Yahoo Answers? Mac haters will say that's because virus makers want to target the largest audience, which is Windows users. OK. But do I care? No. All I care is that I can go to all the dark corners of the Internet on my Mac, and I don't get viruses. Don't is not the same as can't. I don't care why I don't get viruses. I just care that I don't.

I've been a Windows user my whole life. I switched to Mac about 18 months ago, and I'll never go back. I work in I.T. for a living, and after spending my whole day fixing Windows problems at work, it's a huge relief to go home to my Mac that just works all the time every time.

Are Macs expensive? Yes. Is it a worthwhile investment when you're going to spend thousands or even tens of thousands on tuition and books? I'd say so.

So basically I don't want some people being able to see that I'm online in facebook chat, but I don't want to be invisible to everyone. Is there a way to edit this on a case by case basis, where I can have only certain people not see me as online, but everyone else can?

Answer:Hi there

Don't worry, there IS a way of doing this =) Firstly go to your friends list and pick the person/people you don't want to chat to. You can then make a new list within the friends list for these people and any others you don't want to talk to. There will be an option when you look at your entire friends list (not from your wall page, but from the profile settings area) that will allow you to create a list. Name it whatever you want, like "no chat" or "annoying" or something, and then you will have the option of adding people to that list (eg. like when you add a new friend on FB it says "add to list"). So add the person or people that you don't want to chat to to this list. Then when you go into your little chat box it will come up with the people online and also the new list. Click on the little green tab thing to the right of your new list in the chat box and click it so that it says "offline". And that's it =) This way you can still chat to whoever you want as normal, but you will appear as offline on the chat to the people that you don't want to talk to. And if you decide that there are other people you don't want to see you on chat, then just add them to that list as well. Sorry if my explanation wasn't clear, it's easier than I made out, I promise =)

Answer:You're welcome =)

Report Abuse

Answer:No, you can only be visible to all, or invisible to all. If you don't want to talk to someone and they start talking, just politely tell them you're busy and you can't talk. Of course, it might get suspicious if there's people you do this to all the time, but it should work for at least a little bit.

How do i use my second hard drive?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

When i bought my computer, they advertised its 320gb HDD, but the laptop is separated into 2 partitions. The OS, which is 70GB, and the other one being 230GB. The only problem is, i filled up my OS HDD, and theres almost nothing in the other HDD.

How do i install files in the second partition instead of the OS? Is the second one only for storage – pictures/vids? I was hoping to find a way that i could install games and stuff in that folder, so that my OS isn't always nearly empty.

Answer:partitions are different than the hard drive in your computer. A good rule of them is to install your programs in the other partition incase you need to reinstall your OS. To install in the other partition, just change the install folder from C:\program files\program name to a path on the other drive.

Why do people believe lockerz is legit?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

the prizes always run out but shop items that you have to pay to get never run out ever. a lot of people who use it and say it's real admit that it's really hard to get items. I've used other free give away sites but swagbucks seems legit. Whenever i redeem something there I ACTUALLY GET THE ITEM. with lockerz they will cancel your order with no refund. again, in lockerz you have a really low chance of getting stuff. Everyone who says it's not a scam asks for invites or gets stupid things like a hamburger usb. the only way you get stuff from lockerz is to buy the item in shop. yeah they have the pointz slider but $4 off the item is 52000 ptz. ok so like i'm gonna spend years just to get 4$ off an item . hell no.

Answer:Legitimate doesn't always mean a good idea or even fair. (Granted, life isn't fair.)

If the site bothers you, stay away from it. Tag messages about it as spam if you like. Post rhetorical questions on sites like Yahoo that are just there to express your displeasure with such sites even.

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

I need to count a range of cells if they match a string. However, I also need to put an If condition before this that checks if the value of an adjacent cell for each cell is "H".

I'm trying to do this, but it gives me an error.

=IF(E2:E43="h",COUNTIF(C2:C43,"Not Started"))

Answer:heres a formula you can copy&paste

=SUMPRODUCT((E2:E43="h")*(C2:C43="Not Started"))

it should just work.

Answer:You need to learn some VBA =)

Learn how to write macros and you'll be able to solve this, and any other future problems like this, very easily.

If I were to switch to Google Chrome…?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

First of all, it's a BIG IF. I don't like change, and I'm happy with Internet Explorer. BUT, if I were to switch, how would I go about keeping all my current toolbars and settings? Or would I have to install them all over again? Thanks a bunch!

Answer:Please get google chrome! It is so much faster and safer than Internet Ex. Google Chrome does not have toolbars. Its very simple, which makes it fast. Plus the address bar doubles as a 24/7 google search bar. Anyways, google chrome is a fantastic browser to use, especially if you like fast connections.
Answer:never had it. i have mozilla firefox
Answer:Installing chrome won't do anything to internet explorer; chrome just imports settings from IE.

Chrome is so much better anyways…you'll be happy with it.

Answer:Almost all browswers have an import button for your tools…. I believe I imported all old bookmarks but if I were to do it over again I would NOT… great time to start fresh and the ones you use most you will add fast. A lot of toolbars need a fresh download specific to google chrome BUT IT IS WORTH IT.. Chrome has some stuff the others don't have. I was on firefox previously… The below article is from my experience… .it might help you decide.
Answer:don't you worry,

there is an import facility at the first time firefox is installed

Answer:Chrome will import your bookmarks for you. the toolbars i am not sure of as i don't use add on tool bars as they are a portal for allowing viruses into your system.
Answer:You possibly may not be able to install any toolbars. A lot of those things are only available for Internet Explorer. You would also have to redo any settings you've made. I would stick with IE for now. You could also try Mozilla Firefox. There are some pros and cons about both browsers.
Answer:chrome doesn't have toolbars, but it will import all your bookmarks and settings when you install it. If you REALLY want toolbars though you can get extensions that do stuff similar and better than toolbars.

I have one that automatically zooms in on any photos on facebook when I move my mouse over them.

in my honest opinion chrome is wayy better than internet explorer. Its been proven that its faster, and it has a very minimalistic ui. Pages even look better because IE usually messes them up(its notorious amongst web developers). The tabs are really cool cause you can drag them around with smooth animations and if you pull them out of the screen they go to a new chrome window and tabs can be moved from window to window.

also..if your a 'sneaky person' you can visit 'sneaky websites' with incognito mode and it doesn't save your history or anything like that :P

the only reason people actually use internet explorer is because it comes with windows(the most widely used operating system in the world)

How to reconfigure windows 98?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

i was playing around with an old pc (win98se) trying to get some hardrives to pop up and well it didnt work so when i gave up i realized i had changed something to make my cdrom no longer connected with the pc (it wasnt in the "my computer" menu) and so i restarted the pc hit f1 and went into my ide configuration and started messing again. well i couldnt get it to work after i set my sec. slaves to auto and cdrom and then i set them both to other atapi……..and thats when it all went wrong

the pc doesnt boot past the gateway screen now and i was wondering i theres a way a i could set the configurations back to deault without entering the bios thing, it wont let the pc boot into windows or even into the setup menu so i cant change it back at all.

also if i get this fixed i neeed help getting these hardrives installed, i jus dont see what im doing wrong unless i need a seperate set of drivers for em……

Answer:Are the hard drives that you are trying to connect to this computer from a newer computer? If they are, and they are formatted into NTFS, Windows 98 will not recognize them.

That said, to reset your BIOS defaults, you can simply use the "Clear CMOS" or "Clear RTC" jumper on the motherboard. Alternatively, you could unplug the computer from the wall and remove the CMOS battery (the little coin-shaped battery on the motherboard) and let the computer sit for a few minutes.

Either of those will reset the BIOS to the defaults.

From there, know that hard drives do not run on ATAPI, so you should not set them to run on ATAPI. That setting is ONLY for CD-ROMS.

Also, be sure that you know what the hard drive Jumper settings do. If you don't, read this:

http://www.harddriveupgrade.com/jumper_p…

Answer:To restore the BIOS configuration to it default values, you can simply remove the CMOS battery on the motherboard for about a minute and place it again. This resets the BIOS. Or you could also see Load Default settings on BIOS screen. You can simply do that to restore default settings. Then set the Hard Disk as first boot device and save and exit the BIOS.

Hope this helps.

What is so good about mac computors?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

I had a pc netbook from acer and recently the screen cracked. I have heard good reviews about macs but i would like to know a little more about them before i purchase one. Thanks

Answer:Do you know the proverb, "The proof is in the pudding"? Let's consider Yahoo Answers "Computers and Internet" category the pudding, ok? Look at a few pages of Computers and Internet. Most if not all of them will have somebody asking for help to remove a virus. Are any of those questions from Mac users? No.

Mac haters will give me thumbs down and scream until they're blue in the face that Macs can get viruses. OK. If that's so then why aren't they asking for help on Yahoo Answers? Mac haters will say that's because virus makers want to target the largest audience, which is Windows users. OK. But do I care? No. All I care is that I can go to all the dark corners of the Internet on my Mac, and I don't get viruses. Don't is not the same as can't. I don't care why I don't get viruses. I just care that I don't.

I've been a Windows user my whole life. I switched to Mac about 18 months ago, and I'll never go back. I work in I.T. for a living, and after spending my whole day fixing Windows problems at work, it's a huge relief to go home to my Mac that just works all the time every time.

Answer:nothing. they're overpriced and have weak third party software support.

media-wise, they're actually decent, but unless you're an art major or something along those lines, don't bother.

Answer:i think that windows is better because my dad have a mac laptop and he cant download anything on it and it is so hard for him to download some stuff
Answer:Do not go with a Mac unless you aren't going to be needing to use very many games, software, etc. Macs just don't have as much compatibility as Windows. Unless you'll only use Apple software and other applications that come with it, it would be best to stick with Windows.

Macs are very fast and have a wonderful interface, but they're expensive. If you want the speed and ease of use like Apple and don't need the compatibility of Windows, go with Ubuntu, a version of Linux. It's free and can install on any Windows computer. http://www.ubuntu.com

Answer:The reason people like macs is because they're very good for watching movies, watching online videos and gaming, but there is a lot of software and games that macs can't use that windows can so if your looking for a computer solely for entertainment reasons I suggest macs but if you want a more all-rounded computer I suggest a computer with windows
Answer:I agree with Toby, Mac computers don't get viruses, but might I add a few more good qualities?

New versions of Mac Books don't get the 'Blue Screen Of Death' that you can get on other computers. I have an acer laptop now, and it works just fine, but I ALWAYS get 100's of viruses, and I long for a Mac Computer.

But, Mac's computers are designed for use of the arts mostly. Things like Photoshop, video editing, music making/ and or editing and downloads. Playing games and watching movies is also another great feature of Mac's computers.

The only REAL setback of Mac Is the price. They are over priced, I will agree, but keep in mind it will last a very, very, very long time.

Answer:Mac does a spectacular job on building their software based on their hardware. In other words, any software that is designed for Mac, it will run beautiful. PCs tend to bite a little more than they can chew. Sure, you will find a more wide selection of software that is compatible with PC but that does not mean it will run smoothly. Which is often why you hear, PCs always crashing! Simply because their hardware could not handle the software. If you plan on getting a Mac but aren't ready to say by to Windows, run VirtualBox (Google it). VirtualBox is FREE and it allows you to create a Windows Operating System on top of your Mac OS. I started getting into virtualization after I got my PC; had I known about it sooner, I would have bought a Mac. But I am happy with my PC, Windows 7 is definitely better than Vista/XP. Hope this helps.

Calling all computer guys: What is wrong with my computer?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

My computer used to be fine. Even now it can stay on all day, unless we play video games. I have been recently wanting to play games on the computer, and I haven't in a while. When I load the game up, after five minutes, the computer shuts down and restarts. This happens with every video game we own (trust us, we have tried them all).

Do you have any idea what is going on?

Answer:Disable the windows function : Hibernate. This function when goes wrong restarts the computer instead of taking it into hibernation mode.

Could i have Facebook stalker?

July 30th, 2010 · admin · fina No comments - Tags:

Is it possible to find out if people are looking at your facebook that arnt your friends? I think someone is looking at mine, but not sure if i should just set the privacy settings or go on without it so if some sees my facebook and recognizes me they can add me.

Answer:Facebook doesn't allow people to track who views their profiles. Facebook applications, on the other hand, are unable to track anybody unless they have the consent of the viewer.

Follow the source to see the Facebook's statement about this issue.

Answer:Wow… Just wow.
Answer:No, buddy.
Answer:Does it really matter?

"Oh no, someone is looking at me".

grow up.
