Radeons
I have two questions about my "Radeon 9550 SE":
- I'm pretty sure I have the Radeon 9550 SE, but in Device Manager (Ubuntu), it says "Radeon 9550". No "SE". Second, in
xorg.confit saysDevice "ATI Technologies, Inc. RV350 AS ". So, do I have the Radeon 9550, SE, or 9600?- Secondly, how does my graphics card compare to others? (I'm expecting "crap")
Thanks. --wj32 talk | contribs 00:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Java Applet
Today I was trying to program a game in Java in my Computer Science class becasue i was done with everything and I know how AND I wanted to ry and impress my fellow classmates with my knowledge. It turned out that it all backfired and I didnt know squat about making applets. The problem aose early when I was just trying to get the guy to move around, where I had upwards of 11 errors. I asked my teacher and she is kind of annoyed with mine wanting to learn more and not just stay along with the class and when she came over she said that my code was "totally flawed" and that she couldnt help because she was "swamped." She said something about the keyboard input being totally different in applets rather than the "System keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);" line. The following is my code I put in and maybe someone here a=can give me some pointers but not all the things wrong.
import java.awt.*; import java.applet.*; import java.util.*; public class gameTest extends Applet { //is it supposed to be in between these brackets? public void paint (Graphics p) { //or this one? } int x = 150, y = 75; // or is this right? String control; Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); control = keyboard.next(); p.drawString ("O", x, y); if (control.equalsIgnoreCase("d")) //"d" is the control to move right { p.drawString (" ", x, y); p.drawString ("O", x+1, y); x +=1; y = y; //I know it's rodundent } } }
Thank you guys so much for any pointers. I am almost certain my teacher won't be able to help me a whole lot. Thanks, schyler 04:10, 27 January 2007 (UTC)P.S. Good to be back at the RD!
/* I don't know Java, so I'm guessing. Well, at least its how I do it in C#. */import java.awt.*;import java.applet.*;import java.util.*;public class gameTest extends Applet{ private int _x, _y; public gameTest() { _x = 150; _y = 75; /* add event listener here. */ } public void paint(Graphics p) { // place drawing code here. }}I believe that will be extremely helpful. I need to try it once I get to School. Thank yall very much! schyler 04:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Windows update
I haven't gotten a new "critical" update in months. Windows Update is set to notify and I haven't been notified- also the Windows Update website says that there are no critical updates (in fact no updates at all other than like the australian timezone fix and language packs). Is it the same with everyone else or have I somehow been left behind? --froth 06:58, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Excel
While find and replacing a specified value in any number of cells, how to avoid getting the Update Values dialog box.
I mean that find and replace should work directly in Excel 2003 which doesnt in my case. 17:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Can't preview Bittorrents
Why is it that when you're downloading a bittorrent video clip (wmv, avi, mpeg), you cannot preview it even when you stop the download or make a copy? When you try previewing it, it says "Windows Media Player cannot recognize the file type/format." Only after the download is complete, can windows media player open it.

Hard disk format - 'serial number' - what's this for?
G'day. I was formatting a hard drive the other day, and noticed as usual that the system assigned a 'serial number' (in the form of 1808-0A6B) to the formatted physical disk. This was nothing strange to me, as I have been using PC's for most of my life and consider myself more than well-versed in the ins and outs of things, and know this is commonplace with each format. However, I don't know if this number is used for anything, and I couldn't find anything on this on Wikipedia, so I'm going here. If this important, I still proudly use Windows 98 SE (planning to switch to Fedora later this year, however). This is as usual morbid curiosity on my part. Thanks in advance and have a nice Saturday evening y'all. --Ouro 18:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
How reliable...?
After a hardrive crash and subsequent recovery of data to another harddrive by a file recovery program I erased the hardrive using DBAN. When I tried and failed to create a new volume under Windows XP which reported the drive as having errors and "at risk" I tried Western Digital's low level reformat program which first reported it had repaired the drive but after a second extensive run reported the drive was unrepairable. An older WD LLF version even reported the drive was not Western Digital (which it is). Finally a newer version of CHKDSK on the new boot drive from a Windows XP update finally began finding and eliminating errors. After about 36 hours it reported the drive as repaired.
Windows XP Disk Manager and CHKDSK no longer finds any errors after taking a day to scan for recoverable sectors marked as bad and reports the drive as okay. I assume the erros were from surface defects at the location used for track zero, etc. and there were reassigned by CHKDSK which must have a built-in LLF routine. If so can I now write the data back to the drive without worry about problems from surface defects and whatever casued track zero to crash? -- Barringa 19:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

converting recorded DVDs to avi, wmv etc
I have some video material recorded using a DVD recorder. Can anyone suggest software (preferably free) that would convert it to single-file formats like avi or wmv, and tell me how long this process is supposed to take? I'm trying to use Auto Gordian Knot to convert an 11 minute segment to avi, but it's been running for over two and a half hours, is showing no signs of doing anything, and doesn't have any kind of progress indication so I don't know whether it's working or how much longer it's likely to be. --Nicknack009 21:40, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
AutoCAD drawings to SVG PNG or GIF
Hi. I've made some drawings in AutoCAD 2002 that I would like to upload to the Wikimedia Commons, but I'm struggling with file formats. Ideally I would save a rendered image as an SVG (But PNG or GIF would do). I can do a screen dump - which gives me a BMP, or use AutoCADs render window - also BMP, but these don't seem to be very useful. Anyone?--Joesydney 22:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks to all for suggestions. I'm doing OK now rendering my images directly to file (You don't get a preview, but hey). I'm choosing a TIFF in AutoCAD, which give
