    Trouble steering in NFSMW

    I use and xbox controller on my computer and it works GREAT. Analog triggers for brakes and acceleration -- nice! If you get the XBCD drivers you can even change the size of the dead zone on both analog sticks. Very cool and works very well.

    $500 graphics card or a next-gen console?

    My vote is for the video card. Wait on the 360 until the market has matured a little bit and see if you actually like it without all the hype. You know PC games rock, and PCs are fun - let the early adopters drop the cash figure out if the 360 kicks ass or not. I wouldn't spen more than 350...

    1Million+ hits/day hosting

    I'm looking into mediatemple.com. A slew of high end design sites use (mt) - they seem to be pretty serious. I'm pretty sure that there's not a restirction on hits/visits a day, just bandwidth usage.

    Yeah -- But I'm thinking it's only a 10px difference or so -- shouldn't be too hard to shrink down.

    Fixed and will now validate to strict if you force it -- kept it transitional as the target attribute of the a tag has been depricated? I checked and you must be running in 800x600 or at least have your browser windows that small -- as 1024 works like a charm -- Haven't decided if I'm going to...

    Website Critique - The Peoples Vehicle

    I just finished up a new site of mine called "The Peoples Vehicle ". I was hoping to get some feedback design wise. It's one of those pixel pushing sites ala milliondollarhomepage.com with a twist. Colors? Layout? hmm? :)

    Studio 8 products available for trial download

    Downloaded the trial's for Studio (dw, fw, fp) yesterday here at work and only had a few mins to play with them. Initial impressions are good -- but I don't like the new splash screens/branding -- a minor nit-picky thing to say. :) Perhaps they will grow on me who knows. I'll be using 8 all...

    Problems...problems...proprietary problems...

    First of all -- kudos on the site -- I really like it! As for the weird blackness during image loads on IE, perhaps you could use some kind of image preloader of sorts as it seems to only have a problem on the first load -- if you go back once the images have been loaded it seems fine. btw...

    Clear HTML file

    Open the file with "notepad" and then chose "Edit -> Select All" and hit "Backspace" or "Delete" on your keyboard. Save changes. You could also just create a new text file and change the extension to .htm or .html -- this will do the same thing. Html files are human readable with any...

    Design critique? (some one please make me cry!)

    Ditch the blue-dotted line around the border of the site. Also -- you may want to take a look at www.colourlovers.com for some new colors. Take a look at the palettes. That site has helped me quite a bit in the past couple of weeks.

    Dungeon Siege 2 Framerate Problem on Nvidia

    I created a profile for it a couple of days ago and changed some settings on my vid drivers and it worked like a charm.

    Dungeon Siege 2

    I was able to improve my framerate significantly (from 8fps to above 30fps -- at the lowest) by updating my video drivers to version 77.77 and creating a settings profile for Dungeon Siege (display properties advanced). I turned off a bunch of crap and now i can max the settings in the game...

    Dungeon Siege 2

    BF2, HL2, D3, NFSU2, etc all run flawlessly -- smooth as glass max settings all day long. Defrag'd after install as usual. No such luck -- I've heard many other nvidia owners complaining about it as well... *edit* -- not to thread hijack but I just posted a complete description of my issue...

    Dungeon Siege 2 Framerate Problem on Nvidia

    I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my framerate situation... My framerate TOTALLY BLOWS. I go down to 10fps on occasion. Usualy hover around 20-30fps. Which is total crap. I have tried changing the graphics settings to no avail -- I keep getting the same framerate whether I'm maxed on...

    Is there a way to buy/convert a PS2 controller for PC? Don't like GTA:SA PC controls.

    I have two of these and they ROCK. Drivers are good too. You can even use them for Stepmania (open-source DDR clone) as it has a mode specifically for dance pads... -- if your into that... but I wouldn't know anything about that...

    Major "spillage" in Firefox. Goto "Parts -> Differentials" and the footer does not stay below the content -- it stays in one spot and the content overlays and keeps on "truckin" :) The layout is not vertically fluid on Firefox. Also the "F.A.Q." is just nasty. It spills over the bottom...

    StepMania

    I believe all of the songs in the retail DDR games are copyrighted and cannot be downloaded "legally". So unfortunately it would require a visit to the dark underbelly of the internet which is not a topic that can be discussed here. There are many good free songs out there to be downloaded...

    DynDNS.org vs. No-IP.com

    I agree with the general consensus on Dyndns.org being good. Used the free part for years personsally and now using the pay part at work. Refer to my previous recommendation: Post #4.
