Q. I'm trying to create a presentation involving a song playing through the entire impress presentation, but can not find where to set the number of slides that a song should play through... any help out there?
A. No, you can not do music across multiple slides in Impress. Supposedly version 2.3 was to have this fixed, but reading the programmers logs/comments about this issue leaves me in doubt, since other issues related will not be fixed until 2.4 - if ever. I have not been able to get 2.3 to do this - so...
There is a hack that works but is ugly. It goes something like this (except two of these lines get cut off by yahoo answers so you might have to do a google search on this.)
=====
OpenOffice.org 2 - How to put background music in presentation
Open your Impress Presentation
Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > OpenOffice.org Basic...
Under Macro from, click the name of your document to open the tree
Click Standard
Click New
Rename the new module or accept the default and click OK
In the Basic window that appears, substitute the text with your own Basic script. You can use the sample below, but substitute the actual paths on your computer.
Code:
REM ***** BASIC *****
'Impress - Play background music using an external player
'When activated from a mouse event during a slideshow,
'The external player does not show on the screen, however
'if activated from the design view, the external player pops up
Sub playBackgroundMusic
' For Linux
Shell ("/usr/bin/xmms",1,"/disks/zip.1/zip.1/m...
' For Windows
' Shell ("C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe",1,"...
End Sub
Close the basic window.
In Impress design view, select the title of the first slide.
Slide show > Interaction...
Beside Action at mouse click, choose Run Macro
Click Browse...
Select the Library and the Macro name.
Click OK
Click OK
Start the slide show with Slideshow > Slideshow
Click the title you modified
Once the background music starts, you can advance the slides normally (hit the page down key or click the mouse outside of the title)

How do you Erase Ubuntu Lenix And install Windows Xp?
Q. I Have Ubuntu Linux on my computer i used to have Windows Xp, How do i remove Linux and put windows Xp Back on agian, I have the installation disc.
I cannot boot from Cd it will not let me
I cannot boot from Cd it will not let me
A. First off, let me tell you that you are going to regret installing Windows XP back on your computer unless you really need it. Ubuntu is a far superior operating system and the possibilities are almost endless.
Here is a guide my friend and I wrote for this:
I don't know your level of experience with computers, I will try to be as accurate as possible in the steps to take.
First you must take the obvious action of backing up your data and documents before you begin because everything will be erased afterwards. You can do this by either burning them onto discs or USB storage devices etc.
These are just general instructions that might seem a little inexplicit. I wont go in-depth because there's simply too many things to state.
All you have to do to begin is to pop the Windows XP Disc into your CD-ROM drive, and restart the computer with the disc still inside. Now here's where I might have a problem in helping you, normally it will say "Press any key to continue", if it says that, great then do it.
This is the part that will probably allow you to boot from the CD. ***If not, your BIOS might not have the proper boot order, which means that the computer might boot from your hard drive instead of the CD. In this case there has to be a key to press that gives you boot options, such as the F12 key in Dell BIOS's (Its usually one of the F-keys). It will come up when starting of the computer.
After choosing boot from CD-ROM in boot options, you will have to wait as the Windows disc loads and caches drivers and modules essential for the installation process, just looks like a big blue screen with words flashing at the bottom.
You will have to follow a set of questions by pressing the keys stated at the bottom of the blue screen to continue, such in the beginning when it tells you to press F8 if you agree with the license terms. Do this up until you come to a screen displaying your current hard drive configuration, stating all the partitions and what file systems each are formatted in
They will be in a rectangular box. If you computer is from a major computer manufacturer, you will have your current Windows XP partition and also a recovery partition. If you see a recovery partition, you can try to use that partition, by press another one of the F-key when your PC starts up. Otherwise, delete your current Windows XP partition by pressing the 'D' key on it. Then press 'C' on the "Unpartitioned Space". Then, type in the size of the partition and press Enter. If you don't know what size you need, just press Enter with the number that it is in there already. Then, you should return to the screen displaying all of your partitions. When you do, press Enter on the partition that you just created. Then, you will be shown a screen where you will be prompted to choose a filesystem. The main decision that you have to make here is which filesystem to use. NTFS is a newer filesystem and FAT32 is an older filesystem. The main difference between the two is that NTFS can store files that are bigger than 4GB. But, FAT32 also has an advantage: Most Linux operating systems cannot give you write access to NTFS partitions and therefore, you need to use NTFS.
So, you should select NTFS unless you use Linux, or there is another reason for selecting it. Also, be sure to choose the option that has (Quick) beside it. This will make a quicker format. If you have very important files on your hard disk, and you don't want anybody to be able to recover them, you should choose the option without (Quick) beside it. This will perform a full format.
The rest should be easy, setup will format the hard drive, then copy the contents of the CD on the hard drive. It will then restart the PC. DO NOT boot back into the CD. In other words, do not "Press any key" when the message pops up. The installation will continue with about five steps. It will ask you general questions during the installation such as time zone and country. Also, it will ask you for a serial number for Windows XP. You can find this on a sticker, which should be somewhere on the case of your PC. Look at the back or side of your tower for a colourful sticker that says Microsoft Windows XP. The serial number should be located on it. It is a series of alphanumeric characters. Or, if you purchased Windows XP separately, it should be on the box.
The rest of the setup should be very easy compared to what you have gotten through. Just follow the wizard and it will restart the computer into Windows XP. Then it will ask you a few more questions, before logging into the account that you created.

Is Java the programming language still relevant?
Q. I've seen only a few websites using it. I know my understanding about Java is limited to just chat rooms and games, but what good does it really do? What else can it build aside from chat rooms and games? And these chat rooms and games are now possible to build using other technologies like Flash and some time soon, HTML5 and Javascript.
A. probably you only seen Java Applet but don't forget Java has more versions of its own like Java Programming language , Java Beans ,Java Applet ,Java Server Let likewise and every version is used for specific purpose.the applets are used to develop web based applications like Chat Rooms ,Games ,or even Interactive any programs now more developers tend to use Flash instead Java Applets cause Flash is easy to learn and sometimes it uses less coding which is called as Action Script in Flash ,actually it's a part of ECMA scripting and almost similar to JavaScript which is NOT a part of Java though the name looks like it and developed by Netscape in early 1993 and currently an ISO standard.
the main problem with Java Applet is ,it's hard to learn and everything you need to code even objects but in Flash you can just draw manually like do in paints and convert them to object and apply codes here you go ,it's very easy and less time takes infact most of people have flash and it won't take much time to download the Flash Run time support player but it takes sometimes (approximately 15 to 16MB) to download its Run time player and Flash doesn't take much time to load its contents and Flash doesn't take much memory to do its process.
Java mostly used as developing desktop and mobile software rather than web software cause Java is fast , robust ,has a garbage collector which collects all unused variables and objects from the memory. less memory takes ,object-oriented unlike C , platform-independent it means once it has been complied you can run its files on any platform Windows,Linux,Mac,Solaries anything so people use Java to develop applications especially Packages which means an Information system do a specific task and develop for a specific organization or a person.due its features most of business people tend to use Java unlike other software.
but still Java has weakness cause when develop Games likewise programs Java shows some lags cause Java works on a layer unlike C++ which is directly works with the OS so C++ can gain much faster response and can directly access to hardware and get the optimum performance.therefore most of people who program applications for gain much faster and hardware based access use C++
but though C++ is a partially Object-Oriented language still you can write codes like do in Java
C++ codes are platform independent but compile for a specific platform but it doesn't really matter cause you can compile software for each platform without writing additional codes. the C++ doesn't have its own GUI but Java has and today most of students have been taught Java in Colleges.
and Java has more demanding in Software developing industry other than other languages but when Java compares with C++ ,I can say C++ is win cause Java Virtual Machine has been even written by C++ cause C++ is much faster and Sun Micro system people know that well.
