Frequently Asked Questions

I got 2 questions regarding iPod and iTunes. First question: My friend bought a iPod Nano a few
weeks ago. When you want to use it, you need iTunes. I think you all know what it is. My friend
tried to download en install the most recent version. He perfectly installs iTunes, but he
doesn't install Quicktime... iTunes can't work without Quicktime, so now we have a little
problem...Does someone knows what we can try? Second question: The same friend has putted songs on
his iPod at some friends, because he can't do it himselve, cause of the iTunes problem desc...

I was wondering if anyone here ever used (or uses) Asterisk? If you don't know what Asterisk is,
it is a VoIP server (Voice over IP). Basically, it's like Vonage's servers in your home
(beats the $24.99 month phone bill from Vonage, plus your local phone bill, plus internet bill).
Anyways, nothing beats a POTS right? Well, features such as Voicemail, call forwarding, voice
options (menus), etc can come with a price tag from your phone company. You already have copper
phone lines coming into your house so why should you pay extra for these services when you ca...

Now that I've had a chance to use a Mac computer, it seems too easy to use once you know where
stuff is. Being a fast learner, I don't like it very much. Because I am used to using Windows, I
have some questions about Macs for the Mac experts around here. 1. Where is the text editor? Gedit
(or Pico) in Linux, Notepad in Windows, ??? in Mac. 2. iWeb. As I understand from reading the page
on Apple, iWeb allows you to instantly publish your photos, movies, etc to the web with a few
clicks. Where do you write the HTML code in this application? 3. Are there any virus...

I've been playing Runescape for a little while now. I finished all the quests that can be done
by free members and most of skills are at a decent level. I started this topic so that if anyone
else is playing through runescape and runs into a problem they can ask for some help here. So if you
have questions about any free quest or if you can't find something let me know and I'll help
you as mch as I can. I just noticed the typo in the topic description. I don't know if I can
fix that or not, if anyone knows let me know. Notice from ww...

Ok I usually would use Linux to program because there is a compiler (gcc), but I need to use Windows
to program for now because of a few unexplained reasons. I need to find a compiler for Windows that
will compile the C language. I have tried Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008 but I find it to be way
too bulky and hard to use. The command-line compiler is similar to gcc I guess, and it creates
executable files for Windows, but the compiler in the actual program compiles C++ but not C for some
reason. And it will only compile files in projects, not standalone files. In my...

I ask my question here, so nobody knows that a guy from the staff (myself) is sometimes probably
stupid. My first question : it seems that there is a big difference between the "myEarnings" I see
for my account in front of my posts, and the "Account Credit Balance" I see in the ComputingHost
(Xisto) Client area. Is this normal ? My second question is : am I still sleeping, or is there a
hidden menu somewhere for asking for new items like more databases or more disk space ? Or do I have
to submit a support ticket ?...

Hi everyone, I have a NEW question I am learning about strings and I don't understand what some
string functions are... strcpy() strcat() strcmp() and strlen() "C++ Beginner's Guide by
Herbert Schildt" explained what the functions do but I am still confused. I read the functions many
times and looked up examples... If you can explain what each of them are and do, I would be
grateful. Thanks in advance! ...

Hello... You all like to download MP3 's online right? Well, hmmm... i love to download them
and burn them in a cd but there's some unanswered questions roaving in my mind. Example, I
have many duplicates of one song with different file names, well, I want to remove those duplicate
ones ... how? And MP3 is compressed right? Is there a way to uncompress those compressed
sound so that I will really do unlock the wonderful sound of the audio?...

I bought an Acer Aspire 5601WLMI for $850 after rebates. It has an AMD Turion 64 X2 ML-50 processor,
2 GB DDR2 ram, 120GB hard drive, 15.4 in brightview widescreen, etc. I did alot of online research
before i bought it, as I don't like Acers, and would have gone for a Compaq or Dell had i had
more time. But it seemed to get pretty high reviews, and on notebookreview.com it was in the top 5.
But has anyone here had any experience with one of them, and can shed more light on whether i made
myself a deal or a lemon? Also, say i was to try out Linux on it, would i run i...

I was in my village for the last two days so i did alot of PHP scripts and came up with some
questions: 1-When a PHP script is run, the server is doing something. So am I using bandwidth in
the process? If so how much, lets assume the script gets a row from a database and display it. Does
the script use bandwidth equal to the size of the data desplayed or the data the script went through
whiel searching the database. 2-I want a script to run every X minutes, how do i do that? 3-In a
script, i call some data from the database having a same trait and put them in a table...

When I took a computer class, they said that search engines use "spiders" to register your site and
have it show up when you type a keyword. I'm pretty sure this is true, coming from a professor
with a degree in Computer Science but I'm wondering, what exactly are what they call spiders?
What are spiders hosted on and all the technical questions. If you know anything technically about
specifically how search engines like Google functions, this is the thread for you. So, please -
share what you know. Your honest patronage is greatly appreciated and will be listene...

1) Does anybody know what the difference between the different versions of the RPG Maker 2000, XP,
03, etc.? I've been trying to use some of the scripts available online when I noticed they are
created for specific versions as well as languages/translations. The version I have says it needs
1.02 but I have 1.01 in English, but I develop in a translated Japanese version. I usually have to
guess at what the tutorials say cause the wording is different. 2) Are there other people out there
with the same problems or receiving error(s)? 3) Are the RTP different for diff...

When it comes to coding and the code languages such as C/C++ or C++ i have absolutly no clue about,
i wish there was a "Coding Dictionary for idiots" book i can just read but... oh well. this is my
first post on anysort of a gaming development/creation (or w/e) kind of a site. Just got out of
school and i wanted to take on my aspiration of creation a game, one that as a drawer, i've been
working on since '01. if anyone has suggestions E-Mail me because its going to be hard for me to
find this web-site again. i read about having a team instead of doing everything...

I've been thinking about setting up a forum for our office here, since the internet here is down
most of the time, and everyone relies on email to communicate, lots of things get dropped. So I
thought that a good idea would be to have a forum on the intranet, so that even if the internet goes
down, everyone can still communicate. They're also totally clueless with anything more than
basic, so the original idea of FTP and shared directories went out the window. So I've been
recommended to use SMF as a simple and free forum software, but as I have almost no un...

Can you add colours? Can you create boxes? Can you update constants? can you create drop down boxes?
can u assign a keyboard key to a letter/number? is there something so when you press a key that the
window closes? Yes to all. However: How do you mean? What colors and where? Again, how do you
mean? Constants should be constant..., but a quirk of early Turbo Pascal dialects is retained as an
option to make typed constants pretty much the same thing as initialized variables. You should, in
new code, keep constants constant and use initialized variables for mutable thing...

Hello, The topic here is the building of self replicating (and manufacturing) equipment. Firstly I
would like to know if a How-To would be used or wanted on building and using such equipment?
Secondly I would like to discuss the pros and cons of this equipment i.e. impact on environment,
economy and so forth. I personally love this sort of technology and have build several machines
from scratch. Also if you have used a CNC based machine what software did you use for it. Please
include all of it too from cad and cam to actual G-code interpretor. I personally have used...

I have heard that Half-Life 2 requires you to have steam installed, and be connected to the internet
in order to play it. I have extremely slow dial-up, and I really dont want to wait 3 hours to start
Half-Life 2. Is this true, and is there any way around it if it is true?...

Does science answer all our questions?? The fact is, if we refer to scientific ideas science do
answer all our question. I agree in scientific results. But when science and religion is involved in
the situation I get confused. You who reads this do science answer your questions?...

I was wondering if anyone on here has used python. I want to create a program to handle some stuff
in my table top RPGs, and that language was suggested to me as a good combination of speed and ease
of learning. What do people on here think? Have any of you used python before? if so, what is a
good IDE for mac, if you know?...

Hi there everybody. I am new here and this is my first post. I am an active atheist and a skeptic
and I have been setting up an online bookshop for atheist literature and other goods. I am trying to
do this without shoestrings at all, and I hope if it takes I will migrate to paid hosting services.
Recently I found a free host; I don't know if I should really mention them here but their name
is in my bookshops URL and I have used this in my signature. I don't know if I should even do
that, but I will remove it if it is a problem. Unfortunately my host doesn't...

I have 2 joystick related questions. The first is, does anyone know if there is a driver that will
allow me to use my joystick (actually 12button/3axis gamepad) to control my mouse pointer in
windows95? I have one program that will allow me to do that (very indirectly) using windows
accessability & the program that camewith my joystick. But it is exceedingly slow, because it uses 2
forms of redirection. First it translates joystick movements to key presses (slow), then I use the
windows accessability to translate that to mouse movements. But that is so slow, it's pr...

It is well known to all of us that you require to optimise your website (SEO) to get more traffic
from the search engines. Now let us consider a hypothetical situation. Suppose you have created a
webpage and optimised it for keyphrase "SEO". Now you find that your url is placed somewhere around
page-04 of the SERPs. So, the page requires further optimisation and you continue to do so untill
and unless you are getting #1 position for that keyphrase. Now my question is how frequently can we
make changes in order to optimise the website for search engines. The question may...
