    What kind of setting.....??

    It was nothing particularly complicated. The settings here more or less sum up what I did: It was a 50mm macro lens that can focus down to about 1cm in front of the lens. I couldn't use a flash, since it would wash out the screen. I instead opened the aperture (f/2.8) to let in as much light...

    Need Help...Quick Question...

    Absolutely not! If someone doesn't want you linking to their page, they have the right to take their site off the web or password protect it; this is not your problem. Absolutely not! It does depend on how much of the article you want to quote, but quoting and citing another source is...

    Any Vim users out there?

    Vim looks for your resource file in your home directory. On a Windows machine, this will be something like C:\Documents and Settings\username\_vimrc. Note that under Windows, Vim will look for both (xor? I'm not sure which order) _vimrc and .vimrc; the former is more convenient at times because...

    CSS compatibility with other browsers

    Probably the same thing, yeah. You should stick to the so-called named entities if you have the choice, since they're easier to remember and interpret. If you ever need it, I maintain a list (reformatted from some reference spec) here. You may want to browse through that for some other less...

    CSS compatibility with other browsers

    Looking much better. The only thing that really stuck out to me is that your menu across the top looks like breadcrumbs instead of a menu. Compare your menu in terms of look and function to the similar construct on this page. It would probably be fine if you just took out the »s.

    Navigation menu for website

    Just make sure you provide an alternative if the client also has Javascript disabled. As for tutorials, check out A List Apart's "Suckerfish Dropdowns" article. If you're impatient, jump straight to the demo page.

    CSS compatibility with other browsers

    There's a lot more going on there than just bad markup for the Flash object. The most serious flaw is that you've got gobs of display markup inside the <head> that must be moved to the <body>. You should also consider moving the roughly 200 lines of CSS in the HTML file into the stylesheet...

    CSS compatibility with other browsers

    Also, you have some serious HTML errors that probably aren't helping. Before you spend too much time debugging, get those fixed! ;)

    CSS compatibility with other browsers

    The fact that it looks (more or less) fine in Firefox and Opera suggests to me that you are experiencing some IE-specific quirks. Try out IE7 (the Javascript package, not the Microsoft beta!) and see if that helps. If it does, it will be a good starting point for figuring out what needs to be...

    Web-based bookmark sites you recommend

    I'm not sure what you mean there. Unfortunately, I have been sloppy lately with my del.icio.us bookmarks, but you can see that I've got the tags ("labels" in Google parlance) organized into bundles. I've been using del.icio.us for quite a while now; even worked on the sidebar extension for a...

    advice for making robot that moves

    Evidently. Ignore it. It sounds like you've got enough of a plan to get started with. Let us know if you need any further help with Java.

    Javadoc

    No problem. That's the default stylesheet. I just did that to make it look like the prototype website.

    Javadoc

    There are several ways you can go about generating Javadocs for your code. I used Ant with this build file to (more or less) automate the process. You can see the resulting documentation here. You may also want to look at some sample code to see how to format your Javadoc comments properly.

    advice for making robot that moves

    Yes. I don't see what this has to do with my point. I'm not interested in more semantic squabbling with you, though. It's all rather moot without knowledge of what sorts of methods he's planning on assigning to the parts (which I suspect he doesn't know, either ;)).
