Is there any way to disable the annoying popups to websites' apps for iOS? For example, when viewing Haaretz it prompts you to either download their app or cancel, on each page. (because merely having a mobile website would be too much convenient) My iPad 3 is jailbroken. Eisenikov (talk) 00:49, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Indeed, that's what I'm talking about. I believe Apple isn't doing so because the point is making money... Eisenikov (talk) 22:10, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello. I recently had some problems with a business that required me to make several visits to its website. The issues were resolved after a lengthy process, which left me with an extremely negative impression of the business, and at this point I would like to put the whole issue behind me. However, because of my frequent visits to the website, I am now confronted with ads for the business on virtually every website I go to. I know it is due to cookies. But I do not want to be reminded of this business every time I go online. What is the process for getting rid of these specific cookies, without losing the ones I want to keep? (If it means anything, my OS is Windows 7 and I use a Chrome browser.) Thank you. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 03:15, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
"my OS is Windows 7 and I use a Chrome browser" well there's you're problem. but if you know witch cookie it is, you can just delete it. but i don't know how to do that on chrome. 70.114.254.43 (talk) 03:53, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Can anyone recommend an editor which handles tables? Kittybrewster ☎ 13:49, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm getting maybe a dozen emails a day reporting delivery failure of emails allegedly from my domain. Here is part of the header of one of the emails:
"Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com: 117.201.71.216 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of 37CE0D0@dendurent.com) smtp.mail=37CE0D0@dendurent.com"
I'm worried that my domain might get blacklisted. What can I do? --Halcatalyst (talk) 15:34, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Inspired by The Ur-Quan Masters, which I never got to work, I went ahead and bought the original Star Control II for MS-DOS and installed it on my Fedora 17 Linux system, to play under DosBox. The game works perfectly under DosBox, so I have no technical problems. So far I have got as far as to contact Commander Hayes at the Earth starbase to tell him I'm going to free Earth from Ur-Quan slavery, destroy an Ilwrath Avenger, which convinced Hayes of my intentions, and find Spathi captain Fwiffo on Pluto and manage to have him join my fleet. But now I'm at a loss at what to do next. I understand Wikipedia is not a game guide, so the question I'm asking is: where do I find a forum where I could ask for help in proceeding in the game? I don't want a complete walkthrough, as that would spoil me. More like an Internet forum or a wiki specifically for Star Control II. JIP | Talk 17:55, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Howdy. I'm a total Excel novice who knows nothing about making formulas on spreadsheets. I am currently working on a schedule. Let's say I input a time of 10:37 pm on cell A2. Can I input a formula so that the time advances every 15 minutes for each cell going down? So, 10:52, 11:07, 11:22, and so on. I've been inputting all the times manually but I figure there must be a less cumbersome way of doing it. 75.162.165.53 (talk) 19:50, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
