Is it possible to save a picture on a website that appears as a flash? If so how? Whenever I right-click on the picture it just gives a sub-menu that has play or loop options, how can I save that picture as a bitmap or jpg or in paint when those options aren't even available in the save as dropdown box? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.137.254.113 (talk) 01:01, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi,
In the following Internet Explorer message, does anyone know what "other content" might refer to?
(I understand the part about "pop-up blocked". I'm not asking for an explanation of that.) 86.184.31.210 (talk) 02:39, 28 November 2010 (UTC).
Hi,
How many fibre optic strands connect Australia to the United States? Is there a diagram somewhere which shows all the international fibre optic links?
Thanks, --58.175.32.62 (talk) 10:51, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Here List of international submarine communications cables? Not a diagram unfortunately - but a huuuuge list. Do remember being in a pub in Cornwall as a child (for a family meal) and there was a map showing all the comms-cables for the atlantic which fascinated my easily fascinated mind. ny156uk (talk) 14:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
The origin of the canvas element is on its upper left side. However, in mathematics, the origin is usually placed on the lower left side (1st quadrant). Now I have several canvas elements of various sizes. I wan to write a JavaScript function that maps the math coordinate system to the screen coordinate system. The first thing it needs to know is the height of the canvas it's working on in pixels. Certainly I can store the canvas dimensions in an object whenever I create a piece of canvas. If I am not doing this, can I get the size of a canvas from anywhere?
I tried document.getElementsByTagName('the id of my canvas'). It doesn't work. -- Toytoy (talk) 11:57, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
<input type="button" value="Click Here" onClick="dosize();" />
<br />
<canvas id="mycanvas" style="border:2px dashed;" />
<script>
function dosize(){
var c = document.getElementById("mycanvas");
alert("width is " + c.height +
"\nheight is " + c.width);
}
</script>
Hello. I implemented two message rules for the same sender:
My email applies the first rule but not the second. How can I fix this? How can I merge these rules if I use Hotmail? Thanks in advance. --Mayfare (talk) 17:53, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Hotmail moves emails before forwarding. I can't reorder the rules. --Mayfare (talk) 22:36, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
I check my email in Windows Live Mail but my message rules are controlled from Hotmail on the web. If I configure my rules in this manner, does it matter? --Mayfare (talk) 03:34, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello. A few days ago, my laptop suffered a fall which resulted in its battery and bottom cover falling off. Before putting them back into place, I checked the hardware inside and could see no apparent physical damage.
Since then, my laptop has acquired the stupid habit of spontaneously resetting itself without warning. I have accessed files on all sectors of my hard disks without any problem, so I suspect my laptop's problems are caused by possible damage to its fan. Nevertheless, it's never especially hot or even hot at all when it resets itself, so that seems to eliminate the theory of overheating. I'm at a loss to explain what the problem is.
What is the problem with my laptop then? I can provide further details if needed, just ask. Thank you a lot to anyone who can help identify the root of the problem.
Hello! I set up a simple point-to-point VPN on my home network with OpenVPN. When I connect from my LAN, it works fine, but when I connect via my router's IP, it seems to fail; even though it claims it completed the initiation, I can't ping the server. Below is the output (removed some digits of my IP). Note that the only thing I've changed between both tests is the "remote" directive in the client's conf file, from the local IP to the router's remote IP. At first, I suspected it's a problem with the router (Linksys WRT54G, latest firmware, and the VPN port is open and set to forward to the server), but I don't understand why it would forward local VPN traffic but not remote traffic.
