Math: How to calculate APR

February 10th, 2020

Hi guys, are there any mathematicians here who can help me,
ive been trying to work out how to work out how finance is calculated (that was a mouthful huh).
For example, using http://www.midlandcredit.co.uk/car-loans/car-finance-calculator/
Price of vehicle: 20000
Deposit: 2500
Pay over: 60 months
Credit: Excellent APR: 5.99%
This site recons, total repayment is �20120.63, credit being �2620.63, monthly payments of �335.34
I tried working it out like this:
Loan (20000) – Deposit (2500) = �17500
Divide the interest rate (5.99s by 100 to get it as a decimal = 0.0599
Work out how many years 60 months is (5 years).
Then do: �17500 x 0.0599 x 5 = �5241.25
Which is the cost of the credit (the interest), add this to the loan, �17500 + �5241.25 = �22741.25
Where have I gone wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Answer #1
You’re calculating the interest wrong. You’re balance, the amount you’re paying interest on, is reduced every month that you make a payment.
It also depends on how the lender calculates interest on the loan.

A little help with FF

February 10th, 2020

I just came from out, getting wet in the rains ..
Switched on, and what I can see is my whole firefox like new
There are no bookmarks, all settings have been resetted. All extensions are intact.
I dont really get what might have caused this, but any help in this matter ?

Answer #1
Something similar happened to me a few times before (but the settings I changed kept resetting after every restart of Firefox). I fixed it by doing a System Restore to an earlier date.. however there might be a better way, I’m not sure.
But just as a tip, add-ons such as FEBE or Password Exporter can backup your Firefox stuff in case of situations like this.

Answer #2
Yes, But have you ever been able to restore your bookmarks ?
Answer #3
Have a look here it may help

Answer #4
I recall this happening to me about 5 months ago. I also recall I was able to recover the passwords and bookmarks. Though, I do not remember what I did exactly so I will have to guess. First of all, close FF if it is open. Then copy your profile folder from within %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles to another folder. After that, move the %appdata%\Mozilla folder into any other place. Then, uninstall FF. Now, reinstall FF then make sure it is closed. After that, copy the profile folder to %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. Now, open the FF browser. Do you have everything back?

can’t reinstall windows live messenger.

February 10th, 2020

well, lately i been having some problems with my PC again. i fixed it by removing a ram cartridge that i guess was bad. this has nothing to do with my problem though.
see, i uninstalled windows live messenger before all this happened via add and remove programs. but now i want to get it back. when i try, the installer says windows live messenger is already installed, although i can’t even find the windows live directory on my disk. i’m guessing some registry keys were not removed or something. can anyone give me a guide to completely remove it? if i do it myself, i will just end up deleting some registry key that i needed and end up reinstalling windows.

Answer #1
Try this:
Star -> Run -> “regedit” -> Ctrl + F “windows live messenger” -> Delete the registries
edit: Does it show up in Add/Remove Programs?

wow why didn’t i think of that, i completely forgot regedit had a search function. I’ll delete the values and see if it fixed it. from the looks of things, i’m going to be doing this for awhile. i found a ton of left overs.
nope, don’t show up in add/remove any more.
EDIT: i deleted all registry keys, except for one that said i was unable to delete it. still, i can’t reinstall it because it says it’s “already installed”.
Answer #3
Don’t right click each one and delete it that way. Hold down CTRL and click the ones you want to delete then just right click after selecting them alll and delete. It will be much faster.

well i already got that done anyway, still saying windows live is installed so i can’t reinstall. no idea what more i can do. maybe someone else knows?
Answer #5
i had the same problem a while ago, only way i got round it was to use your uninstaller which can be found on this site.. this will remove everything for you. then you should be able to re-install.
it worked for me and i now use this program to remove anything i dont want as it removes registry entries and all things related to the stuff your removing for you
Answer #6
and if all that fails just install trillian or one of the other programs like it to run your messanger till you get it figured out
Answer #7
okay, i tried “your uninstaller 2009” and windows live don’t show up in it either. something isn’t right, something happened and i probably won’t ever be able to use it again.
i tried trillian, but it never logs into msn, it just keeps saying “temporary connected” or something like that. i tried pidgin and it don’t work, i tried digsby and it don’t work. the only way i can access msn is from a website called ebuddy, but i hate going to that website every single time i want to get on msn. any other suggestions?
could it be that my firewall (eset smart security) and router (linksys wrt54g) are interfering with it? they never interfered in the past, and with trillian, i can still log into other IM services such as yahoo.
Answer #8
format your pc =]
Answer #9
Only way you could do it is install a earlier version of MSN and then it will update to the latest version.

Question

February 10th, 2020

Im planning to buy a new computer should I install XP 32 bit or 64? It is duo core 3.0Ghz, 512MB Video card.
Answer #1
XP comes in 64 bit? lol if you mean vista then i suggest going for vista 64 bit as it has better support for newer games.
Answer #2
Ya XP, I found it in the Apps section
Answer #3
If it supports XP go for Windows XP Pro 32bit. The 64bit version of XP is the worst you could ever get. If you want to use more than 4GB of ram get Vista 64bit because Vista 64bit is more widely supported.
Answer #4
If i was you i would go with the 64 bit just because they are going to stop production on 32bit hardware and rumor said that windows 7 is going to be the last windows made that is 32 and 64 bit capable. It was supposed to be vista that was going to put the end to the 32 bit hardware era but now that are saying it win7 that will put a end to that. All in all 64bit all the way!! I run Vista Ultimate x64 with 4 gig ram and im like 32bit who??
Answer #5
So 32Bit of Windows XP Professional would work fine?
Answer #6
well whats the full specs? If theres enough RAM then Vista, otherwise XP
Answer #7
go with 32 bit mate
because 64 bit wont run all ur apps and games unless u have patches for them and its quite hard finding them aye.
if i was u i would go with 32 bit. but thats me.
Answer #8
vote for 32 bit more apps and games can run on it
Answer #9
because 64 bit wont run all ur apps and games unless u have patches for them
depends how much ram and types of appz. If its ancient ones used mostly then yes, otherwise with 4GB ram then why not?
Answer #10
Thanks, guys. I have 4GB of Ram. I cant burn Vista on a disc, can I mount and install instead?
Answer #11
64bit is for more than 4gb of ram anyways.

Make skype stop music when calling

February 10th, 2020

Hi , im looking for some pluggin that when i receive or give a call to someone the music im listening too stop.. and as soon as im done speaking with the person (hang up) the music starts back (Kinda like an iPhone). Is there any pluggin that can do that? Lmk. Thanks
Answer #1
On a MAC so it may be different for PC Users.
1. When Skype is open, go to <Preferences> from the top left Skype menu.
2. In the pop-up, click <Notifications>.
3. Click <Details>.
4. Under <Event>, all actions are listed. Select the action that you want to remove the sound for…
5. Uncheck the <Play Sound> for each <Event> you don’t want to hear sounds for…
best thing soution for that seems to be MuteForSkype,http://blog.vyvojar.cz/michal/articles/3494.aspx which also handles WinAmp and Sonique. I worked great out of the box, with two small exceptions:
It stops rather than pauses when you get a call, then starts the track over when the call ends. That's a pain if you're listening to a long mix or podcast. I noticed several comments about that on the website, and it bugged me enough that I disassembled2 the WMP Mute plugin and fixed it. You can download my version of the WMP Mute plugin here.
http://jongalloway.url123.com/MuteForSkypeWMP I just changed one character (I changed 0x00004979 to 0x00004978).
The plugin should detect if WMP is playing before it toggles Pause / Play, since it will start WMP playing if it was paused when you received the call. This was an existing problem in the original plugin. I looked into fixing this, but it's not at all simple to find out if WMP is playing. Just about all the WMP API documentation focuses on how to use a WMP control, not how to talk to the existing instance of WMP. Apparently you can the the IWMPRemoteMediaServices interface and remote to WMP. I looked at two remotable WMP wrappers - tried this one first, http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=1f2ad011-abf1-4dfd-85c6-49006903e483 but prefer this one. http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=E1DBEA97-9731-4BDA-9442-AB82C8D78DA9 This was more work than I was ready to bite off right now - I've got too much work and other unfinished projects. If anyone's got C# code will tell if WMP is playing or paused.

Fileserve with Orbit setup

February 10th, 2020

Hey All, I have been running Orbit with RS for a year or so with great success. I want to move away from RS and was looking to give FS a try. I have a free account for the moment (will upgrade once I see it works). I can download from the FS site directly no problem, but not through Orbit. All files are like 30k. I have the URL and login info entered, but no good. When I setup RS a long time ago, I had difficulty and was given instructions to open IE in admin mode and save some cookies and stuff first.. don’t really recall
Anyone know how to make this work? or will it only work as a premium account?
C

Answer #1
I dont have a solution for your issue. But I also had issues with Orbit so I started using jdownloader about a year ago and I haven’t looked back since. It works well with FS, MU, NL, RS and several others. I haven’t had any issues so far and it was easy to set up and get going. This may be a good time for you to give it a try.
Answer #2
thx, i am downloading it now. I am thinking it is related to the delay and captcha on a free account, but dont want to pay to find out
Answer #3
Hey… how do i set this thing to english?

Can Someone Help me make a Vote Bot

February 10th, 2020

Hey my school and some around us are doing a school pride thing and want to see which school can get the most votes lol
So anyway a teacher at my school asked if i could make a bot to vote for us.
The Website does have CAPTCHA, a pretty easy one, just a couple of letter easy visible.
So is there a program to crack the captcha and if so can someone help me make a voting bot
Thanks

Answer #1
wow, they really teach you integrity there!
Answer #2
lol i know, but its just for fun
Answer #3
voteboxes would be fairly basic php i am thinking. I wouldnt know who to do it exactly (php isn’t my thing) but you would have either two php pages or one xhtml page and one php page; preferable called ‘poll.php (or poll.html)’ and ‘results.php’. The poll page would just have the question(s) and then either buttons or a txt area to put enter a number from 1-10 or something (if you had a txt area, you would need to make the txt area only allow integers (numbers, no letters). When you click the submit button or whatever the button it is that sents the data to the results page, the results page should return the results and display them. I did some basic php at uni in one subject but i didnt really pay attention becauses its not what i want to do when i graduate. Look online for tutorials as well.
Answer #4
hey thanks but im not trying to make a poll page, but rather make a bot that will vote for my school, its a simple radio button poll, but has captcha on the button, is there a way to make a bot that can vote and something that will recognize and type in the captcha
