I recently inherited a sony vaio from a friend. Apparently he spilled something on it and had to buy a new one. The laptop appears to be in almost perfect condition except for the speakers. The built-in speakers periodically make a little bit of a pop sound. That sound alternates from left to...

Anyone know of a way to get perl functions to run from within python? I've been trying to get pyperl to work, but I keep running into problems. thanks, Venkman

According to the specification of java, does a file have to be named "<public class name>.java" ? I know that the sun compiler I use on my linux box throws an error if you try to compile a file like "foo.java" with a public class of "bar" in it, but is this just a recommendation that sun's...

Is there a way to convert an openoffice doc to a word doc from the command line?

I've recently started watching movies on my pc from both file and dvd. I've been having some problems with frames skipping and things like that, and I figure it has something to do with my crappy built in intel video card (16MB). I'm figuring that if I get a good enough video card the problem...

I've received 2 email responses in the last 12 hours. 1 was from AOL saying it was rejecting an email from me that I never sent. The other was from a french company saying that I sent them an email with mydoom in it (I think... I don't read french). The AOL email was addressed directly to me...

I want to use tweak ui on my windows XP Pro box. I am not an administrator for the domain, but I do have local admin rights on this machine. Apparently the admins for the domain have disabled tweak ui via a group policy setting. Is there any way to get around this other than not logging onto the...

I'm looking for an ftp-like gui based program that works for http also. I have to download multiple files from a site often, and I think having a gui like this would be the easiest way. Originally, I tried the windows port of wget, but it doesn't allow globbing in http mode, so I wasn't able to...

My father's computer gets random popups every so often, when the browser isn't on. It's the same thing I've seen with a lot of people who install Kazaa, but he's never installed Kazaa. I assume he installed something else, but I have no idea what it is, and he's running win 98 so I don't have a...

Posted this in the browser forum, but figured I'd try here as well: I'm trying to figure out how to fake out a remote web server into thinking I'm running IE instead of Mozilla. So far I've figured out how to change the user-agent to: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR...

I'm trying to figure out how to fake out a remote web server into thinking I'm running IE instead of Mozilla. So far I've figured out how to change the user-agent to: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) but the website I'm checking on still figures out that...

I'd like to implement a function which takes in an object and a string and returns the property of that object with name that is specified by the string. For example, say my function is named foo, than the following two lines would be equivalent: x = myObj.myProp x = foo(myObj...

So I figured out how to add a custom UserForm in VBA using the VBE objects. I want to know how to show them dynamically also, without having to stop the running macro. Does anyone know how to do this? I thought the UserForm class would have a show method... but apparently it does not. -Venkman

Does anyone know of a command line based instant messenger? I saw a post on the waptunnel yahoo group about using a command line based instant messenger to setup a wap interface to instant messaging. Or in other words, a command line instant messenger could be used in a cgi script to provide...

Is there a way to display the open file dialog box in Excel? I know you can use GetOpenFilename(), but that doesn't actually open the files, it just returns the array. I'd like to have a fully functional Open dialog that works exactly the same as if you clicked &quot;file->open...&quot...

I'm thinking of giving linux 2.6 a try. I'm not the most technical of users, but I'm no newbie either. I usually use whatever the latest version of Redhat is. I have with some difficulty built a 2.4 based kernel before. I was wondering if there is anything I should be aware of before I try...

Is there any way to automate copying people in a global address book to a user's personal contact list? -Venkman

How do you look up a phone number listed in someones address entry using VBA in Outlook? I can only find a method which displays a dialog box with all the info in it, but I want to parse out the phone number so that I can list it on a spreadsheet. -Venkman

How do you setup Data Validation with a custom function? I'd like to pass the value of what's trying to be entered into a cell into a custom function that returns true or false depending on the entered value. How do I do this? -Venkman

Anyone know of a WAP gateway with WTLS support that I can install for linux? Kannel is supposed to support this, but I was unable to compile their WTLS add-on. My goal is to be able to access my server using an encrypted communication through my cell phone, and this seems like the way to do it...
