Hi! I know I had asked this earlier but I still have some doubts here. So, please bear with me.. The semantic web article and semantic web stack picture on wikipedia and another site I visited, gave me the impression that XML is one layer and you use an RDF-based language on top of it, ie., both are always used together. But some other articles I read, said that, you may use RDF/XML which is RDF-based and also incorporates XML , but it's not necessary that XML and RDF be used together. I might have misunderstood things here, but I'm still confused about what EXACTLY XML and RDF do. From my understanding, XML is used to give metadata 'tags', separately(while HTML takes care of formatting, etc.) and RDF is a specification, which is used INSTEAD of XML to convey metadata & RDF/XML is an RDF-based language that also uses elements of XML, ie. , RDF maybe used using XML, but not necessarily. Can you tell me if, and where I am wrong?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.68.77.73 (talk) 01:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone have any experience writing Stata plugins in C++? I have been trying to replicate what they do in there website, but the dll does not load properly in stata. http://www.stata.com/plugins/ I have permissions to write in all the data drives, but I have no permissions in the drives where stata is actually installed, is stata attempting to add the dll to a system folder and that is why its not working? Or does stata treat this as it would treat an ado, and by that I mean that as long as it knows where to find it it can use it. If anyone knows about this, any info would be appreciated.

Hi, I am using windows vista ultimate. Lately, I am encountering problems with driver installation. The devices whose driver have already been installed and are in the windows folder, need to be specified again. When I plug in the device (for example, a pen drive) a message pops up that the device driver needs to be installed. Then I have to direct it to look for the devices in the /windows/system32 folder and then after sometime it installs it. When I plug in some other pendrive, I have to do the routine again.218.248.70.235 (talk) 06:33, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Even after I leave Time Machine backing up overnight, it still hasn't finished. In fact System Preferences says it's still "preparing." It's also unusually loud, with fans at 2300 rpm (says iStat, a dashboard widget). I know it's a new backup of about 80GB, but I've completed bigger backups in half that time before. Anyone know when it might finish? It's connected by USB, OSX 10.5.5.My name is anetta (talk) 09:29, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Today's log doesn't say much either. I got it by using "sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log" into the terminal:

Time Machine is part of Mac Leopard. It was the next big thing when it came out last year. And thankyou, I'll investigate.My name is anetta (talk) 14:57, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I'll experiment with excluding /System and see if it works. Although, the list of exclusions is absolutely clear: all partitions on the external drive and (by default of VMware Fusion), Virtual Machines. I would be surprised if that caused any problems.

"You've chosen to exclude the System folder. Would you like to also exclude other files installed with Mac OS X, such as system applications and UNIX tools?" I chose "exclude Systems folder only."My name is anetta (talk) 23:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I have restored all of this from the history. Maybe it disappeared. Back to the question.... My name is anetta (talk) 19:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Earlier, when I used to connect my iPod to my PC, and opened iTunes, iTunes automatically started syncing stuff to my iPod. But now, no matter what I do, I can’t get iTunes to sync my iPod anymore. Even the “sync iPod” option under the File menu isn’t available. Is there a way out of this?? Please help!! La Alquimista 09:53, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
The screen went just crazy and I had to restart my computer. Using Windows Vista. It scared the hell out of me. Also I regularly download porn and go to sites like 4chan, so I am worried that I have a virus. I already use Norton, Spybot Search and Destroy as well as NoScript in Firefox. What could be wrong? I don't want this to happen again.-ArticleDiscussion (talk) 12:28, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I want to have a window on my screen which aggregates news from many websites (like BBC, CNN etc). The requirement is that it should have 10 (for example) new items in the window. when a latest item arrives, the oldest item should be deleted so that the screen just has 10 newest items. RSS aggregarors like RSSOwl require some manual intervention for this (it deletes the items only when the feed is deselected). I want it to be automatically deleted
What I am asking is similiar to a stockmarket ticker (but scrolling from bottom to top), which shows me the latest 10 news items from many websites.! Can you suggest some software ? WikiCheng | Talk 12:45, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello. Are there any free video editing software that I can download to synchronize sound and video for a video clip (avi file)? I have a video clip but the picture is quite lagged, can I download something to fix this? Thank you. --AreDeeCue (talk) 13:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
VirtualDub should allow this. Also if the lag is constant you can do it in real time as you watch using VLC and ctrl and (I think) [ and ] or possibly , and . although this will not be saved. 88.211.96.3 (talk) 14:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks I downloaded virtualdub but can you please tell me how to do this with it. AreDeeCue (talk) 20:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I was entering data of names, phone # and addresses into Microsoft excel. I resorted the data to be in alphabetical order by first name. However only the name were sorted and now the names don't match up with the contact info. Is there anything I can do to resort the names back to the order that I entered them, so they match with the contact info? Thanks --Gary123 (talk) 18:23, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
How is it possible to make two separate tables on the same lines (next to each other but not touching) on Neo Office Writer? Or have a table, but still be able to use the rest of the line? I can resize the tables, but I end up with loads of space to the left or right and can't use it. Regards.--ChokinBako (talk) 21:43, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
