    Installation CD Creation?

    I'm working on a project and would like to create an installation CD that will auto-run when inserted into a Windows machine. I'd like to create a nice (but basic) GUI interface that will allow the user to select from a couple of different options (links), including installing a basic...

    Which to buy?

    I use the WRT54GX2 and the speed and signal strength are great, so i suspect that the GX4 is probably excellent as well.

    Has anyone ever used one of those wireless webcams / security cams?

    I know this isn't 'networking' per se, but does anyone have any experience with any of the wireless security cameras made by Linksys and such? One of these or perhaps a different model. http://tinyurl.com/7vn2t I was looking at picking one of to monitor something that is driving me...

    Best router for under $200?

    I just bought a WRT54GX2 a couple of weeks ago for use with my PSP and DS and it works like a charm (and is a couple bucks cheaper than the GX). I get full signal strength all over my townhouse with the router on the top floor all the way in the back. Full signal two floors down in the...

    CSS -> How do I update a section?

    That'd be an HTML issue, not CSS. in your A HREF tag, add a TARGET attribute that points the link to the name of your frameset. Personally, I'd avoid frames if possible. It can add major issues if you don't code the site properly and wind up opening frames within frames. Also, it makes...

    Yet another help me pick a camera thread! ;)

    Yeah, I see that there are a lot of 'em on here, well, not a ton, but enough. Anyway, basically, I want a camera that'll last me for a good long time to come. I'm getting married next year, so I suspect we'll be starting a family not too far after that. What I'm looking for is a camera...

    Half off coupon code back for Belkin.com

    I got in on this deal one of the last times around and bought myself a nice KVM and a some other miscellaneous stuff. No problems at all, everything arrived in perfect condition and works flawlessly to this day.

    [H] Consumer

    Yeah, its an Inman Flash Replacement; a technique that uses a script to scan the HTML looking for specific tags and replacing them with Flash titles instead. It's a nice tool since it allows designers to finally break away from the safe haven of Times or Arial that have become the standard...

    [H] Consumer

    I didn't know how close to final the one you showed was, but upon looking at the XHTML and CSS, I'm amused by some of the things you decided to do. I particularly like the way you handled the rollovers. Not many people that I see will do all the graphics as a single one and just move the...

    [H] Consumer

    Not bad at all! I'm just curious to see the final CSS file, I can see where I'd make some tweaks to increase performance, but I'm always curious to see what short cuts other people use to make their life easier and/or decrease bandwidth consumption.

    "My Cisco is better than your (whaterver)"

    I can't say that I've had much experience with products other than Cisco, but that doesn't mean I assume that they're the best in the world. Sometimes, a good product that you know how to use and implement is better than a great product that doesn't make a lick of sense to you. I know Cisco...

    Tech Support Gripes HERE!

    HAHAHA!! Great stories!! I try not to be a dick to the people I have to call for tech support. I fi *know* how to do something, I'll say so so that they can skip the click Start --> Programs --> ... crap and get to the meat. If I don't know something, I'm honest that they're going to have to...

    Poll: Reliability of Various Storage Drives

    1. Have you ever had a hard drive fail on you? No, not an internal one. 2. Have you ever had a USB Pen fail on you? (if you've used these) Yes, but my mother did it and she can be brutal with hers (carries it to and from work daily and really puts it through the ringer. 3. Have you ever...

    Help with CSS problem

    Also, this line is incorrect: ul#navigation .articles a:hover, a:active { That will define the style for all active anchor tags as well as hovering for the articles anchor. I think you meant it to be: ul#navigation .articles a:hover, ul#navigation .articles a:active {

    Help with CSS problem

    I looked at your CSS at it seemed overly complicated for what you're trying to do. I stripped it down [a lot] and put this together: http://www.animeguru.com/designs/versellotest.html Obviously, you'll need to put your images in where you want them, but using this as a simple template...

    Cisco router for home?

    12.2 is sufficient for DHCP on the WAN side, so you're good to go there. Aside from that, I'll try to remember to post my running config when I get home tonight.

    Detecting browser resolution

    Yeah, how about cutting the surrounding box off of the image, then telling your CSS file to display the image centered withing your header and define the background color of the header as the color of your current box surround. Then the surrounding box will automatically adjust to fill the...

    Website Critique?

    You're right, it is a simple task to just move the navigation column to the bottom of your table, but you have to do that on every single page. Plus, what happens if you don't want it in a column, but a row at the top of the table; that requires you to re-code the table for the new layout...

    A few CSS questions.

    I also tend to use IDs and Classes as logical keys for my layout. Meaning that I'll assign an ID to something that should only ever be used once on a page. That way, I know instantly (and others following behind me) will know that those rules are meant for one specific instance, even if it...

    CSS help please

    The easiest thing to mimic that site is to create a centered, two column layout in CSS and make a background image of the gradient with a center horizontal positioning.

    Why can't I snag this Domain????

    When a domain name expires, it enters a "grace" period, during which the current registrant can still renew. This grace period varies by registrar, but usually lasts from 30 to 45 days. It can be more or less depending on circumstances. The record usually reflects the status REGISTRAR-HOLD...

    Buying/Selling software with activation codes

    Another thought is to check on the manufacturers stance on lost CD keys. A couple of game manufacturers (like Blizzard) will send you a new CD and key upon return of the original CD. So, if you lost your Key, you can contact customer service and send them your original CD and they'll send you...

    PHP's printf vs echo!

    Yeah, it kinda sucks. Honestly though, even though I'm tired of the crap I have to deal with, in some respects I am thankful. Years of working with the absolute minimum has forced me to think of more and more clever ways of accomplishing my goals. I've become extremely adept at clean code...

    Web Designers: Now that Opera is Free, Will You Stress Test Your Sites for It?

    Agreed, I'm working on a site for a salon and on the directions page I have an embedded Google map. Seems simple enough, except that IE uses a proprietary xmlns attribute and I had to place the call script outside of the html because IE likes to crap out when there is DOM manipulation within...

    The fun of referrer-browsing

    Lately I've been showing a rash of visitors coming from random gambling websites, which is strange considering I don't even mentiong gambling, gaming, or anything like that on my site. I also notice people leeching my images, but when I investigate it, I generally find that it is someone I...

    PHP's printf vs echo!

    Well, at least you get to use PHP. Me, I've got an IT guy that refuses to let me use PHP on our web servers because it's too insecure. Translation, he's too lazy to check on it every so often and install any patches that may be available. Then, I've got a boss who, if it doesn't work on our...

    Web Designers: Now that Opera is Free, Will You Stress Test Your Sites for It?

    I already do. I test all my websites in [what I consider] the big 4. Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, Opera, and I check with at least the last 3 major revisions of each. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Mac, because I'd love to be able to check Safari as well. I might buy a Mac...

    Where oh where is TeamFortress2 ?

    You know, I gave up waiting on it and moved on. TFC was great, and I loved playing it back in 1999, but to have a game in development for what, 6 years, I don't think it'll ever happen. My guess is the 4 people on the site that mention it in their bio are the only people working on the...

    how heavy is your pc

    My main rig is probably ~50lbs, but my server is a fucking beast. Its a 6U and I suspect that when full, it weighs in at at least 80-90lbs. Those pics are old, but it has 13 SCSI drives in it ATM.

    Design Debate -- Opinions Requested

    Originally, I put ... #1. Then I realized that there was text on the two of them. Now, if I could, I'd change my vote to neither. Unless I turn the brightness on my monitor up about 200%, they're both completely illegible aside from the poorly rendered title on #2. I would close out...
