I bought a HTIB that included the Onkyo HT-RC160 (very similar to the 707, I believe). Anyhow, I've got HDMI running from the receiver to my TV, and into the receiver--all via HDMI--are a Blu-Ray player, Xbox 360, Apple TV, and DirecTV receiver. Now, though, I want to hook up the Wii...which...

Well, proving that bullheaded stubbornness always wins out, I've succeeded. With the proper Googling, I found that, apparently, WPA2 is not supported under Tomato for routers acting as a wireless client (or, I presume, a wireless bridge--or anything other than an AP). As much as I didn't want...

Quick update. I plugged the WRT54GL into the Airport via the WRT's WAN port. I then plugged my iMac into the WRT, and was able to surf the Web just fine. However, when I tried to bridge the Buffalo (as client) to the WRT (as Access Point) with WPA2, it failed. It occurred to me that although...

Okay, I've grabbed my old Buffalo router (which also has Tomato 1.27 on it), so now I've got two 802.11g routers, and one 802.11n router. Would I be better off setting the Airport Express as N-only, then hard-wiring one of the G routers onto it, then using that one as the "base" for the remote...

I actually re-flashed to DD-WRT and followed their wiki guide for bridging...and got so lost that I'm not quite sure I set it up right. However, that didn't seem to do anything. I'm willing to give it another go if you know of a step-by-step guide that doesn't suck!

I'm attempting to use my Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato 1.27 as a wireless bridge, with an Airport Extreme (MB053LL/A) as the main router. Following instructions at http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3810281 and configuring the Linksys as a wireless client, I can get things working...

I may certainly learn the GD library if I have the time, but I'm wrapping up a 15-credit hour semester, while also working 40 hours a week...so it makes things difficult. But I'll certainly look into it, nevertheless.

Not the easy solution indeed. :( See, sadly, that's what I need--something really easy. Otherwise I simply can't move forward. I just don't have the spare hours in the day.

jQchart doesn't look like it'll do what I need (but I can't really tell--it's not documented very well, at least not to my distracted mind), but JpGraph might do. Gantt charts (which I've just learned more about in one of my courses!) are about the closest thing to what I'm doing, so I might go...

As seen in the second example here: http://www.mrexcel.com/tip052.shtml I'm developing what has turned out to be a very large tool to look for patterns of academic dishonesty in some of the online courses my department offers. To that end, I find it useful to look at when a group of...

I ended up figuring it all out. It's a bit complicated to explain, but in essence I ran a loop as many times as there were questions, then creating a mini-array of the student answers for those questions. Because some might be empty strings, I then unset those blank elements (after first...

If only! We're using FileMaker. As for multi-dimensional arrays... I actually have a large "comparison" array that holds N arrays, where N is the number of groups. Within each group array are several separate arrays, one for each student.

Just to clarify: The problem I have is that I don't know how to say "Compare this element of the working array to the same key/value in the next one in the line."

Let me start off by saying: I suck at arrays. I have a hard time visualizing the intricacies, although I usually end up with a satisfactory result. This time, I'm having a doubly hard time. The goal is this: I want to pull student records for an exam and compare answers among students. The...

Well, the resolution has been found...sort of. After much searching on the Web, I came across the Firefox forum thread where people were discussing a similar problem. That led me to an Adobe thread that discussed things in more detail. Turns out it's an issue with Flash Player version 9. I...

I'll take a look at the forums, for sure. My boss found the "limit"; anything over 15 audio clips and the problem arises. And yes, latest Flash plugin on both systems. Nothing else installed (it's a testing box).

It works fine on Firefox 2.0.0.12 on the Mac; not so for the same version on the PC. I haven't tested it with FF3 beta. I *think* we checked with Safari, but I'll have to double-check. I have to admit we don't do much checking with Opera; our userbase doesn't use Opera much, if at all...

Here's another little wrinkle to the situation... If you do nothing but scroll down the page, and then return to the top, if you play the very first clip, you again get the problem. It's as though there's an invisible "stack" (programming usage) that's getting populated incorrectly.

We're using the Flash media player solution from jeroenwijering.com (and yes, I could post the problem there, but my boss is convinced that it's not a player-related issue). We use this player for online college exams; in some cases there are just 8 or 10 audio clips, but on one of our exams we...

Thanks, tim_m. That actually might prove useful with the second half of the project.

You are a god. :D Thanks a million--that's perfect!

Alternatively, if I've got something like this to work with: 1*18|2*15.7|3*15.6|4*15.8 And I want the result to be: dataset[0] = [1,18] dataset[1] = [2, 15.7] dataset[2] = [3,15.6] dataset[3] = [4,15.8] In other words, a multi-dimensional array. I'm trying to work out the...

I've got a complex PHP/Smarty/JavaScript/jQuery setup going on, and it's working pretty well for the most part. I'm experimenting with the Flot plugin for jQuery (it does charting/graphing), and I need a dataset in the form of an array. At present I'm spitting out the string into a hidden...

I've got a MacBook Pro, and my PC's power supply died some time ago. Thus, achin' for some sort of gaming, I bought Railroad Tycoon 3 at Fry's. (Great game, by the way. I enjoyed playing it on the PC so it was nice to get it for the Mac.) I travel with the MacBook Pro pretty frequently--it...

Indeed...it doesn't hurt. I'll have to get the info together when I get home tonight.

I can't find anything on XClio's Web site about a warranty. I suspect I could email them, but I don't know if it'd be all worth it. But hey, if you want to buy it from me, let me know. :D

Confirmed dead. We live in Arizona now, so the heat's definitely an issue...and it probably didn't get enough ventilation. Odd, though, that it chose to die when I took it to the living room... In any case, yes, it's dead. Anyone need a paperweight? ;)

I was wondering pretty much the same thing. In my case, I've got 120 - 160GB of information on two drives, one of which rarely changes. I'd like to be able to back everything up to DVD but in a compressed format (since, after all, 160GB is roughly 40 DVDs), and then on a set schedule (say...

The dead PSU I've got is actually an XClio. Looks like it was mfg in 2005--May to be precise. I don't have any of the paperwork so I have no idea if it's under warranty. I guess a trip to their Web site is in order!

It's been more than a year, so it's probably out of warranty. Thanks for the suggestion--I'll keep it in mind!

Alright, that was quick... I went back right after I posted my note above, and tried again with one stick of RAM. Wouldn't you know it, but it worked, video and all (although, of course, I got a CMOS checksum error, but that was expected). I stuck the RAM back in, booted up a second time...

Well, good news and neutral news...and some bad news. The good news is that my wife's PSU isn't a generic POS (it's a Thermaltake...not the best, but at least not a "Jim-Bob's PS-You) and when I connected it to my mobo and start it up, it doesn't shut down on me. The neutral news is that I...

I do not have a different video card to test with (I don't think, anyway...my wife's is PCI-E and the really old video card I have is, I think, PCI). I also don't have any other RAM, again aside from my wife's. But it shouldn't matter, I'd think, given that the system did the same thing...

I finally got the chance to do some work on it tonight. I took everything out of the case, and set the motherboard on a piece of cardboard on my desk. The only thing connected was the video card, two sticks of RAM, the CPU (of course), and the PSU (20 pin plus the ATX header or whatever it's...

Right right right... Of course. :) How silly of me! (You can tell it's been a while since I've done tech support-type work, now that I've finally moved to the Web field full-time.)

Out of curiosity, why not? Its wattage rating is roughly the same as mine...so if that's the issue, then I'd be worried about running what I've got with my own PSU.

I'll give this a go tonight when I get home from work. The only other PSU I've got is my wife's, and it's some generic 400 or 450W...but I suppose it'll at least let me try one other thing. It's odd, but part of me wants the mobo to be bad, so I can have a (legitimate!) reason to upgrade...

Well there's my first-ever PSU test. :) Okay, tried that, and the fan does indeed spin up. I think in my haste I forgot to mention that the computer would "boot" for about 5 seconds, then power down completely. This happened on each of my experiments. Unfortunately, I have no idea if...

It's been a while since I've been around the forums...life got in the way. :) But I am certain it's still chock full of geniuses, so I'm here looking for help. Backstory: I bought an Xbox (original), and planned to softmod it tonight (Ndure mod). I got my PC next to my Xbox near the TV, and...
