Computers & Internet - 13 June 2007

Is there a format that is decent quality that I can send to clients that will work no matter what...regardless of how old the operating system/computer/player is? I have run into issues with sending digital files to clients etc...some people can open stuff and some can't. Some are on old school computers, some don't have updated op systems or browsers, or quicktime/wmp updates, and some are on mac and some on pc. I need something that will open no matter what!!! Is there a format that does this?. We usually use MPEG-1 for this, but had an issue recently...please help :)

Friends at parties and stuff go "click click click" with their cameras photographing everyone regardless of what they're doing or whether they want to be photographed or not.
The next day you see the photos all over facebook and the internet.
Photos you really don't like.
You ask the friend to remove them but they rather enjoy the sense of power and refuse to.
They even upload photos of people who don't have facebook, so they don't even know.
Technically, they are violating various laws like the "right to privacy," and the "image used without consent" act. But obviously you're not going to take them to court over it...and the number of people doing it..you would fall out with a lot of people anyway.

So there is absolutely nothing you can do.

I think it's wrong. What do you think?

I'd like to have pathtags made for a group. I want them to be able to use the serial number on the back of the tag to track their mileage as they travel. similar to geoaching travel bugs but using town zip codes instead of geocaches. I'd like them to be able to see their mileage compared to others. Is there a mapping utility out there that already does it, or how complicated would it be to write? Please don't answer unless you have a suggestion.

My computer already has the right time zone, and everything. I disable the schedule and then enable it again, and it keeps saying the same thing. So how can I fix this and I already try re-installing it.\

My Internet provider firewalls the connection, so that I cannot use any software that use to download torrent files.Is it possible to download torrent files without these softs? And also, is it possible to download torrent files with Internet browser softwares? What should I do?

Note: I don't use any firewall by myself(not even Windows firewall). Also I can download files with Bearshare, but cannot use Limewire.

I want to build several small websites (1-2 pages) for a few domains. Is there any way to buy one hosting package and share it between many domains?

I have used yahoo (favorite!) and go daddy for hosting. It seems with them I have to buy a hosting package for each domain. Is there any way to get around this?


ps. I also realize that I could just forward these domain names to pages hosted with another website account - that is not the answer I am looking for. I want each domain to appear to be its own unique website (to the search engines as well!)

Thanks!

Yes, big question, but I really am looking for the UNIX equivalent of a Windows JScript that does the following (for example only, I realized I can't call a Microsoft application on UNIX)....

var objwd=new ActiveXObject("word.application");
objwd.visible=false;
objwd.Documents.open("blah");

...

Again, obviously the example above is a Windows-application specific example only. What I'm looking to do is merely emulate a similar concept except using Java (or Perl would be fine too, but I have so little knowledge of either). I want to create an object reference to a particular UNIX-installed application and then manipulate the object with the permissible methods associated with that object. I'm fairly familiar with the way to do this in Windows Scripting, but am quite new to UNIX and am trying to learn the various analygous scripting methods there. Any help (especially code samples) would be much appreciated.

It seems very complicated to network pc's together. Can you just share an internet connection without actually networking the 2 pc's? And, if so, is it just a matter of a cable? I just want these 2 pc's to share an internet connection.

There is this thing on my comp that keeps popping up. it says "Windows explorer has stopped working" when I click cancel another box comes up that says "windows explorer is restarting"

It pops up every 7 seconds (I counted) and is really annoying because there is nothing wrong with my comp. I let it run it's course and it goes away on its own but continues coming up. It doesn't appear to be helping anything either.

It's been like this for several days now and never stops. Does anyone know what it is or how to get rid of it?
