    The Hard Drive Clock!

    Not much you can do with them, even with a fully equipped electronics shack [Oscilloscope, surface mount soldering kit, micrometer and the circuit diagram ] the beam focus and tracking are crucial. These can be altered on some drives but to be honest the time it would take it's cheaper to bin...

    Looking For Some Help From The Community!

    Fascinating, this is not your typical amateur built site and is most definitely 'Pro'. In fact I'd go as far as to say its appearance could even be construed as spamming and as such has no place here. Woopra real time analytics, Quantserve User Tracking , captcha, aspx pages.. kinda upscale...

    Embedding a video with copyrighted material

    Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and none of this post should be construed as legal advice. Provided the piece of music being used is just a short extract from a track and not the entire thing then you're probably ok under the 'fair-use' policy/defense, though it's something of a grey legal area...

    Best Linux Distribution

    Ubuntu 9.04 for my laptop after the pre-installed copy of vista committed 'harikari' whilst attempting to install the service pack for the third time. Downgrading to WinXP was not an option because there are no drivers written for it. Was expecting to have some difficulties, had previous...

    Visitor History Scanning

    Not tried with 'Privacy' mode perhaps somebody here will. From what I understand the exploit is to be plugged sometime this year or next with new browser releases from Safari, Mozilla and Microsoft.

    Star Trek Fans

    Are there any fans of Star Trek in the house? Hands up if you have seen any of the 'New Voyages' episodes, made by fans of the original series. Was skeptical when I first heard about them as well but they make for compulsive watching. Available at various locations across the web including...

    Visitor History Scanning

    Some of you may know about this or not, in which case then this is going to be interesting reading. Using a well known weakness inherent in all web browsers a shrewd webmaster could read portions of a visitors recent browsing history and use this information to alter the page content...

    Custom Soundtracks - Graphic Art Portfolio - please comment

    Well it looks nice enough, from what little I could actually see that is on the laptop screen at [1280x800px] resolution. The bottom of the screen is of course a mystery without delving into the source code or plugging up the 17" monitor. So you might want to go back a step and take another...

    Is it common to keep Sucking at Creating a Website?

    Getting a web site running and making money as many newbies discover is no easy task. What a lot of folk never quite grasp at the start of the process is that a web site is DESIGNED and BUILT. Any kid with a box of crayons can draw a house but asking them to mix cement and lay bricks is often...

    Global Warming: fact or fiction?

    The only constant is change. However I can but not help think that this culture of 'Green' fervor, Carbon footprint, eco friendly etc is leading up towards a culture shaking punchline or rather a bitter pill for some to swallow. It now being widely accepted that the infamous 'hockey puck' graph...

    Can we track a mobile phone with its IMEI?

    Several providers offer the service, the person to be tracked is sent a text that they reply to or not to OK the tracking. Then the tracker is billed everytime they query the cell phones location. Not quite your real time CSI, CIA, NCIS, MI5 stuff but good enough for most purposes. Set up with...

    About the Design, please help!

    Lots of content, well organised... do like that top menu behaviour though less wild about the current font, it looks a little to thin to my tired old eyes. [though it could be my new monitor] Graphics: header_top.jpg is a good effort but needs to be 'crisper' remember it is the first thing...

    Help me redesign my site

    Now where did I put that can of shark repellent... Contrary to what some would have you believe even a novice can create and put up a good looking website, after all many of the problems with HTML and CSS are universal and as such have already been solved, documented etc. A quick search of...

    Is their a __________ in the house ?

    Wandering around through the previous posts for web site reviews it is clear that most here are trying to break into the world of web design and was curious what the day job is for some of you. Clearly many are enthusiastic amateurs and most likely still at school or college, others however this...

    Problems with Telephone & Broadband Providers, and IT

    We have an AOL / Carphone Wharehouse account on a semi rural exchange that misbehaves like that on occasion and were given the complete runaround by 'customer technical services'. However did get some feedback from a BT tech that sometimes the hardware at the exchange can hang for up to hour or...

    SiteReptile Javascript Problem

    Friend of mine asked me to look into this and I cannot quite see what is going wrong. They have a site built using SiteReptile hosted on x10 and have tried to insert Google adsense Javascript into the page via the WYSIWYG html editor. It looks right, but no Ads appear. Out of curiosity I...

    Forums with "Mod-Nazi's"

    Dlukin makes some valid points, The internet and the web sites that populate it contrary to popular misconception are NOT a democracy, when one enters a site you are on their turf and have to abide by their rules, freedom of choice stops at the door. Website TOS are a particular bain of my...

    Love It or Hate It?

    Across the globe there is an eternal question that plagues the mind and wondered where some of you stand on this subject.. Marmite, food of the Gods or the devils own lubricant? For those who have no idea what this stuff is, heres a snippit from wikipedia, Marmite (pronounced /ˈmɑrmaɪt/...
