    Is there a way to make a cell background autostretch?

    Looks damn spiffy! I was gonna suggest the same thing as the guy above, but he got to you first... What can I say? Great minds think alike! :D Best of luck! :cool:

    Microsoft Publisher web page design

    Being a website development manager that oversees the sites of 3 newspapers in my state, it's easy to say that layout is easily one of the most important things in web development... So it's understandable that you would like what Microsoft Publisher produces, and how easily it produces it with...

    Need some help!!!!

    It's likely that your motherboard isn't detecting a fan attatched to the 3-prong 'CPU Fan' power header on the motherboard. This is a fail-safe, so that should the fan on your CPU stop spinning, your computer will automatically turn off and keep your CPU from over-heating. ;)...

    Intel leading in 32/64-bit CPU Sales - WTF?

    From C|Net - "Intel leads 32/64-bit chip sales, CEO says" Now this makes me feel REALLY out of the loop.. :eek: I read several technology-related sites every day (AnandTech, SlashDot, [H], and pretty much everything that has an RSS-feed to FreshNews.org) and I wasn't even aware Intel made...

    Warez to Freeware Conversion...

    If you wanted to make things REALLY simple, AutoGK's 'File Mode' gets the job done very nicely. For encoding/transcoding purposes where I felt a little more user interaction was needed though, I find that VirtualDub + Koepi's Binary of the xVid 1.03 codec + LAME-MP3 ACM 3.96 Codec works...

    Is AVG free edition a good VIRUS protection?

    QFT - I gave up renewing my Symantec subscription this year in favor of a license of Avast! Pro on my main box, and have since installed the free 'Home' version on several of the other boxen around my apartment. The script blocking that comes with Avast! Pro is great, but even without it, the...

    I keep getting blown... [Question for Electricians]

    First off, I just wanted to thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of wonderful advice on this - it's now pretty clear that absolute best solution to my problem (and most cost-effective, as I've been quoted around $4,600.00 to replace the furnace & re-do the immediate ductwork) will be to...

    I keep getting blown... [Question for Electricians]

    Meet our craptastic breaker-box. A few months ago, we moved into a house within the historic district of our city & began restoration on it. Of everything the 2 previous owners had managed to screwed up, one thing that was done right was replacing the ancient wiring with modern grounded 12-2...

    The Essential Software Thread

    Scanning/OCR/Databasing Suite? (For converting an office to be almost-paperless)

    There's not really any more of a feasible option as far as we know. If a simpler way existed to make the entire hardcopy filing-system easily accessible, I'm sure we'd jump on it like a fat kid on a cupcake... The major problem we face is all the old information needs to continue to be...

    Adobe Premiere?

    WMV (Windows Media Audio/Video) wouldn't be a bad way to go - quality is marginal, but definitely far from horrible. Many sites like to use Quicktime, but it's a pain for PC users since it requires downloading Apple's little bloatware app. :rolleyes: Sure, it'd be nice if everybody already...

    track you down with p2p

    I'll second that - P2P has far more potential than existing simply to be a cesspool for piracy.

    random hissing noise

    If you honestly think it's an adware/spyware problem, download AdAware, SpyBot, and HijackIt & give your system a good cleaning. If the problem persists, then this idea might be worth your time: Open your sound recorder (or any app you can record sounds in) and try to capture the sound as it...

    random hissing noise

    Sounds like a grounding issue, or an issue caused by poor sound hardware. (Either the speaker system, or the soundcard itself.) This hissing noise is often caused by a problem with the grounding between a device with a motor in it (such as a hard drive or CD-ROM). If you're hearing two...

    Scanning/OCR/Databasing Suite? (For converting an office to be almost-paperless)

    I'd like to think that the title pretty much explains it - but I guess it's a pretty elaborate operation that I'm looking for here, so I'll go into detail a little more. I do, however, apologize in advance for this hellishly long post. I'm working as part of the IT Dept. at the university I...

    DVD ripping issue

    For scratched up DVDs and CD's (including the recordable media) a simple TurtleWax Scratch Remover job works wonders. :) It's amazing the situations it's sprung me out of before... The only problem is that I'm unsure as to whether or not the wax is safe enough for continuous use being that...

    University has capped my IRC downloads...

    Title says it all - whenever someone sends me a DCC, I'm no longer able to receive it at blazing speeds. Much rather, any sends I receive are very effectively throttled to 7.5kb/s. I decided that maybe they were simply throttling a specific port - so I set the DCC sends to be connected on...

    Data loss

    If you RMA the drive, you're just getting another hard drive back - they won't have anything to do with recovering the data for you or migrating whatever data is on your bad drive to the new one. mind you that when I say 'new', you should read it as 'refurbed'. rare is the time Maxtor...

    2.5" (9.5mm) Notebook Drive - Will a dropfix/freeze be safe?

    You can now delete/lock this thread. I've taken the post to [M]'s hardware forum simply because I've come to realize that the only people who post on [H]ardforum.com anymore are clueless n00bs who's mommy bought them a Compaq for Christmas. Trying to get any useful information at all out of...

    2.5" (9.5mm) Notebook Drive - Will a dropfix/freeze be safe?

    Hrm - somehow I guess I'm just too n00b-licious to understand that a thread based on data recovery belonged in the 'mobile computing' forum. Nice move, mods. :rolleyes:

    2.5" (9.5mm) Notebook Drive - Will a dropfix/freeze be safe?

    Long story short - for the duration of his vacation to Hawaii last week (man, what a rough life!) my flatmate's notebook computer sat in his room at our apartment. He was probably gone about 7 days or so. When he returned & powered up his notebook, his hard drive suddenly began clicking...

    Newegg is a NIGHTMARE

    I generally order stuff from NewEgg.com at least 3 times a month - last year my order history came to 118 orders totalling just over $36k. never once did I have a problem with NewEgg & getting something shipped - of course, products have arrived DOA 3 or 4 times, but considering that there...

    FS: BestBuy gift card (sob-story included)

    I'll make a long story short - last year I purchased a laptop computer because I would be attending college and also doing a lot of traveling. Of course, the laptop came with the standard applications - WindowsXP Home for the OS and 'WordPerfect Suite' as the productivity package. Being...

    wow... FedEx = dumb

    a live in an old mining city where a lot of people seem to favor UPS... now I know the reason. :rolleyes: personally, I like an "open-door policy" system - but prolly' only because I haven't yet worked for a conglomerate where I couldn't give my boss a piece of my mind (or tell him/her to blow...

    [H]ard Travel

    Call the airport - at our local airport you can call a few days ahead and schedule a security pre-screening. You bring it in, explain what it is and your reason for having it, and if they decide you can take it on the plane, they give a 'Security Clearance' ticket and put it in a secure lockup...

    wow... FedEx = dumb

    the world needs less HP technology if anything - their consumer PC & printer division are a bunch of pilfering butt-pirates. :mad: back to the topic: FedEx pwns... once in a blue moon they are late, and even so, I'm still happy when I open the package & find the contents weren't breakdanced all...
