Anyone know of a good plugin for NSIS which allows me to do disk-spanning (i.e. for large installers) or extract stuff from external files? I did manage to search for stuff like ExtractDLLEx and ZipDLL, but I'm not exactly sure on how to utilise it for an installer I'm cobbling up. Blake Gripling (talk) 08:15, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
I am tasked with displaying about 80 images on a webpage. The images are from a 19th-century book. Many but not all of the images are similar in size due to some cropping and landscape versus portrait orientation. I want the user to be able to click on an image and open another window or tab to view a higher resolution version of the image. I also want the user to be able to control the advancement of the images if they want to, for example via Next/Previous buttons. I have found some JavaScript and jQuery code for slideshows on the web, but they are not meeting my needs. The biggest problem is the variable size of the images, which makes the rest of the page jump around as the slides change. I found one that addresses that but doesn't include control buttons and positions the slideshow oddly on the page. My attempts to modify the code I've found have been unsuccessful, mostly because I don't really know JavaScript/jQuery. Any suggestions? My main goals are displaying the images in order with the ability to access a higher resolution version, and I am open to doing this in a different way instead of via a slideshow. I suppose I could just put each high resolution image on its own webpage and have users click through them in order but that seems pretty clunky. I thought of making a page of clickable thumbnail images, but it is hard to see from a thumbnail whether or not you are interested in viewing the full image. I would know how to code both of those options -- I know HTML, CSS, and a little JavaScript. Thanks for your help.--Dreamahighway (talk) 16:24, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
I set up a Facebook account but don't really use it, due to privacy concerns. Now I keep getting emails telling me I have a "notification". I pick on the link in the email, but it doesn't take me to a notification, just the main page. How do I find my notifications ? StuRat (talk) 16:26, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
In the messenger app Telegram, I'm part of a group. There is this one person in that group whose number I don't have. Unlike WhatsApp, only phone numbers you have already saved are shown to you in Telegram. However, I would still like to save the person as a contact in my Android phone book and have a link between the contact and Telegram. Android does it automatically with people with numbers. Is this possible with contacts without numbers too? Otherwise I don't understand the purpose of saving contacts without numbers. There is the option "Only display contacts that have phone numbers" in the phone book settings, which indicates that contacts without numbers must be somehow useful. --2.245.121.139 (talk) 17:50, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Hey all. I'm currently using my old Macbook (5,1 - late 2008) and am interested in upgrading from 10.6.8 to the new (and free!) Mavericks. My book only has 2GB of RAM right now (which surprisingly has gotten me through a lot over the past...five~ years), and I've read that I'll be wanting at least 4GB of RAM before I make the update. I know the 5,1 officially only supports 4GB but can actually utilize up to 8GB. The 2GB has been fine up to this point (I built my own PC for games) and I'm not sure if the extra 4GB (and $50+) is worth it, though I'm cautious about how much RAM Mavericks will need to actually feel like an upgrade.
Has anyone upgraded? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks! 74.69.117.101 (talk) 19:06, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
I have several iPods/iPads/iPhones and now a MacBook Pro and am going to be in an area with metered and slow internet doing some science ed stuff. Am I right that with an AirPort Extreme I can connect and manage all these devices through the AirPort's wireless network without a connection to the internet? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.120.208.98 (talk) 21:50, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
