I am not talking about a wiki aboug games, or about a particular game. I am talking about a game which uses a wiki to play it. Most likely such a game would use the wiki to rp out situations and other such things, and it would also use the wiki to document the statistics of the game or whatever. I am asking this because the (general) idea came to mind when I stumbled upon something that seemed to be like this, but actually wasn't. I think a fantastic game could potentially come to be with a dedicated enough creator(s) and without knowing anything about the game (or even if such a game exists) I've wanted to find it and be a part of it. Strange I know. I figured I'd ask here if any of you have any ideas. Sadly, I've found that google is useless for discovering this, although maybe I'm not lucky enough, who knows. Thanks a lot, I'm also posting this is the Misc. reference desk to try to get the largest group of people that might know about this. Thanks. Chris M. 06:18, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi all-
I am trying to write a Wikipedia tool in Java, but while I am able to get the html for pretty much every other site I've tested (CNN, Google, Apple, etc.) including my own test MediaWiki, with Wikipedia I always get a 403 error (forbidden).
My example code is:
URL input_url; String fullURL = new String("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X"); //String fullURL = new String("http://www.google.com"); //String fullURL = new String("http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Main_Page"); try { input_url = new URL(fullURL); HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) input_url.openConnection(); urlConnection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0"); urlConnection.setRequestMethod( "GET" ); urlConnection.setDoOutput(true); urlConnection.connect(); System.out.println("Response was : " + urlConnection.getResponseMessage()); InputStream urlStream = input_url.openStream(); // causes 403 error exception to be thrown
I've seen there are Perl modules that work, and I have a quick Ruby program that also works, but for whatever reason Java is not cooperating. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.176.139.105 (talk) 19:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

I'm trying to burn a DVD with footage taken from my old camera. I transferred the footage from my old 8mm Sony camcorder to my computer using video capture (like the process in WMM) The footage is stored on my computer in an AVI format and does play with sound. Whenever I burn it to DVD, there is absolutely no sound. However, the video is unaffected. I've tried playing the DVD on other players and I get the same result. When I use videos in other formats (MPEG for example), this problem does not occur. What can I do to have sound? --The Dark Side 19:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi all, what software do I need for Debian Sarge 3.1r4 to get my Medion MD9717 tv card (Chipset: Philips SAA7134) working? Google didn't help me in this case :-( HardDisk 20:18, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
what is the difference between sole propriterships, partnerships, and corporation businesses, and how do you incorporate a business? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.10.15.194 (talk) 21:09, 27 December 2006 (UTC).
do cd-r's or cd-rw's hold video, and could they play back on a dvd player? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.23.104.243 (talk) 22:33, 27 December 2006 (UTC).
