I think my HDD is going out on my 600m. I'm getting weird errors when trying to mount filesystems from a BackTrack 3 final live session and I'm also getting some weird errors when booting. I have decided to get another HDD. I am wondering if this will work for the 600m. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136314 Actually, that is the wrong interface (SATA). I can't find a good replacement drive for this 600m. Do any of you have suggestions about what HDD I might want to buy? TIA, Ζρς ιβ' ¡hábleme! 01:58, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I am trying to create a .deb file that would install some files into the home of the user (they are nautilus scripts) and I don't know how to make that happen... I have even tried creating a postinst file, to copy the files to the home, but that will just copy the files to the home of the root (since the scripts runs as root!) Any way to do this? or it is not possible? Thanks. Hacktolive (talk) 05:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Is there a way to automate the downloading of a specific html page from a listing such as this, and also saving all linked images on said page, say for example I wanted to save "145.html" from that listing? I can't simply specify the page url to save because when a thread dies on this site saving the url would just save a 404 error. I need it to scan the directory listing so that when the thread dies the url is removed from the listing and it will have saved the latest version and then stop. Help please, thank you. -- signed 79.76.215.204 (talk) 08:49, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Is there a similar tool to iMacros that would work not just for web content but also for all Firefox tasks like saving pages, updating addons etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.88.87 (talk) 12:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
It was like a mechanized or controlled version of gas escaping. I turned it off and on again, and now it works without any noise. Should I still be concerned? Thanks in advance! Imagine Reason (talk) 14:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
perhaps it was degaussing but that usually sound like "boing" to my ears. Theresa Knott | token threats 15:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
As many know, the Ctrl-' combination in MS Access copies the contents of the field immediately above the selected one in tables and forms and inserts them into the active field (also works in Excel, by the way). I, however, noticed that this combination periodically stops working for no apparent reason. Exiting and starting Access again fixes that, but closing and re-opening the database does not. Does anyone know what this may be caused by? I am using Access 2003.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:51, April 8, 2009 (UTC)

Learn a training-language. Something like Pascal would be beneficial. Your best idea is to understand the structure and logic that programming language apply and then use that as a basis for learning whichever language you want. I say this as a student of Pascal, though I admit at the time I didn't feel it was worthwhile. Anyhoo it's become a bit of a bug-bear of mine. Lots of kids (adults too) are taught how to use MS Word version X, rather than taught how to work with programs. Once you're taught the 'structure' of how programs operate (and 95% follow similar setups) you can quickly learn <bold> any </bold> program. I believe that the same rules work in learning programming languages too. 194.221.133.226 (talk) 11:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
I need qualified web designers to answer some questions for me. It need not be right here on this page; if you could simply point me towards some Wikipedians who can help me out, I'd be very grateful. I figured this page was as good a starting point as any, even if it may not be the be-all and the end-all.
Basically, I'm in a job program for disabled people. In order to get them to pay for training in my chosen field - web design - you have to jump through several hoops. One of these is doing "information interviews," where you try to get information from people who are already doing the job you want to do. Yes, it is somewhat silly but I still have to do it anyway.
If anyone volunteers to answer these, keep your responses down to a sentence or so. It's not necessary to write a whole essay. You can respond any way you want: on my talk page, by email, or otherwise.

Hi, I basically need help merging two images (two BufferedImages in Java). Can anyone suggest how I can do this? I tried various things, but none of them worked ideally. Thank you!
