It turns out there is not version of Windows Media Player currently available for Windows Vista Business N.
According to the microsoft windows media newsgroup, Windows Vista Business ‘N’ edition is not bundled with Windows Media Player (because of the European Union regulation). In addition, you cannot download Windows Media Player because it’S just not available yet and will be out in ‘a couple of month’.

What am I supposed to do until the next ‘couple of month’, not listen to music or something?
Technically, WMV files cannot be read on Windows Vista Business N and it doesn’t seem we can get a WMV codec to get them working on other media players.

I’ll keep you updated on what happens.

- Cannot connect to a Windows XP wireless network
- Cannot find or get Windows Media Player

When coding in JavaScript, I always find the need to compute some basic mathematical values. The Math class (object) turns out to be useful here by providing numerous functions, such as sine, cosine or random number generator.
The list of JavaScript Math object functions below:

Math.abs(a) // absolute value of a
Math.acos(a) // arccosine of a
Math.asin(a) // arcsine of a
Math.atan(a) // arc tangent of a
Math.atan2(a, b) // arc tangent of (a / b)
Math.ceil(a) // ceiling of a
Math.cos(a) // cosine of a
Math.exp(a) // exponent of a
Math.floor(a) // floor of a
Math.log(a) // log of a base e
Math.max(a, b) // maximum of a and b
Math.min(a, b) // minimum of a and b
Math.pow(a, b) // a to the power b
Math.random() // random number from 0 to 1
Math.round(a) // rounded value of a
Math.sin(a) // sine of a
Math.sqrt(a) // square root of a
Math.tan(a) // tangent of a
