I am a beginner python programmer and I want to compile a source code file (with extension .py) to an executable file (.exe), can anyone tell me how to do it? Thanks in advance.--George (talk) 02:23, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Sir, When I scan my computer, and if it founds any virus, it has one option saying that to "move to quarantine" I just want to know that what is "quarantine" and if I move that virus to quarantine where does it go? and after then is my computer is safe from that virus? I am using Bitdefender Anti virus on my pc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arvindshivanand (talk • contribs) 06:42, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello, dear Refdeskers! I have a quick question - in the phrase 'RTC modem', what does RTC stand for? Real time something? I am just not sure. No, a bit stumped rather ;) Thanks and cheers! --Ouro (blah blah) 07:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Since when does marketing lingo have to make sense? Just look at "Blast Processing" or measuring power of consoles in bits. TheGreatZorko (talk) 11:41, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

There is a possability that there are infected files that are currently in use, and cannot be closed. Restart the PC in Safe Mode by pressing F8 during boot, just before the first Windows loading screen appears, and chosing "safe mode" or "safe mode with networking". Run the virus scan within safe mode, and see if that removes the viruses. Before doing this however I would back up any particularly important documents just incase the virus scanner removes an important Windows file, although this is unlikely. If this fails to remove the viruses I suggest downloading a trial of Eset NOD32, which is a professional level virus scanner and generally regarded as the best virus scanner on the consumer market, and if that cannot remove your viruses then I have no idea what will.
With regards to quarantine this is incase an infected file is needed for the continued operation of software or the operating system, so it can be put back allowing the user to back up his data, even if the file is infected. TheGreatZorko (talk) 10:39, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I recently shifted back to Windows XP after using Vista (nothing wrong with the OS, just my soundcards drivers under the OS) and had moved Documents, and Music (the Vista names for My Documents) to another drive. This was trivial and involved right clicking on the Documents icon and chosing a different location for it. Now back on XP Windows insists my My Documents folder must be located at C:/Documents and settings/<name>/My Documents, and right clicking on the folder doesn't seem to work. How do I move the location of My Documents to where they are now? (That being F:/Music and F:/Documents) TheGreatZorko (talk) 11:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh hey that button wasn't there before. It's exactly like Vista! Does this work with My Music as well? I'm not on my home PC at the moment and this PC doesn't have a My Music folder. Hell I'm not even sure it has a sound card.TheGreatZorko (talk) 11:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
This should really be a follow-on response to an existing question titled "Unicode composition ...", in which I wanted to respond to who- ever suggested that I look into "Google Code Search" by saying that doing so didn't really help me, but I couldn't figure out how to respond to existing questions on the "Reference desk" (some help on which would be greatly appreciated :-) - which probably makes me seem pretty stupid, but I should explain that I'm still quite "dim", having not fully recovered from a massive brain hemorrhage a few years ago.
So, for the same reason, my original question still stands:
If the normalization standard says, regarding composing after decomposition: "[the last starter] L is replaced by the composite L-C.then C is removed", wouldn't doing so leave me where I started, with just "L"?
Am I missing something? what, then, does the above statement actually mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.122.191 (talk) 12:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Any idea if there is a live boot symbian version for PC??would it be faster than windows?How about any of other free open source fully loaded OS for Mobiles?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.240.72 (talk) 13:55, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if it helps, but according to this article, Symbian Operating System is a proprietary (Symbian OS does not seem to be open source.) operating system that runs only on ARM processors (Symbian OS does not seem to be designed for desktop/notebook computers). Does your PC have an ARM processor? --Kushalt 17:41, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Suddenly the url bar is not reflecting the page I am visiting (eg http://en.wikipedia.org ). How do I re-set it to do so please? On the left end it has a google G; on the right end it has a magnifying glass. - Kittybrewster ☎ 15:07, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Problem: I have a relatively small-scale e-commerce site that I started as a student at my University. I sell publications that are saved to PDF files that people can buy one at a time, or buy subscriptions and see everything on the site until their subscription expires. Unfortunately, I am no longer a student (graduated) and the rules prohibit me from using the University servers anymore, because making money off this site is no longer consistent with my educational experience as a business student (since I am technically no longer a student).
Request: I do not have a lot of money and the site doesn't really generate outrageous revenue, but I'd like to keep it going. I went to the bank got my business name setup and all that stuff, but they told me I need to give them the webserver address and site and URL with a privacy statement and a bunch of other stuff. I already have a few subscription customers, and I'd like to keep things going without disrupting their existing subscriptions.
I'm wondering, is there a pre-fab turnkey solution that will work for me? I've looked at some "small business DIY ecommerce" type sites, but all of them seem to assume the merchant is selling and shipping some kind of product. All I am selling is the right to download and print PDFs, either "one at a time" or with a timed subscription that expires at a specific duration.
TIA for any infos. NoClutter (talk) 20:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
