Smith6612, I am pretty certain vigge_sWe was referring to the recent school/college/university shootings that have occurred in Finland. The latest was this past Tuesday at the Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences in Kauhajoki, Finland. 10 dead: 8 female students. 1 male student. 1 male...

It doesn't get much smaller or simpler than this: The Siteplayer development kit. http://www.totalrobots.com/siteplayer-development-system-p-254.html Quickstart page is here: http://www.totalrobots.com/media/pdf/spk1-quickstart.pdf Looks like fun!

Production servers should never crash. Now with that being said, the truth is sometimes they do, regardless of architecture or OS. Well, I take that back, none of our big iron machines running Z/OS or OS/390 have ever crashed, at least in my years here. Anyway, critical non redundant hardware...

A purchased OEM version of Windows Vista would run just as if the the laptop dealer had installed it. The version of Vista you buy, determines the "toys" you get to play with. For most users, Vista Home is enough, it provides DX10 for games, and a familiar user interface. If "eye candy", the...

BTW, for those users of Avira Antivir Personal (Free Version) who are annoyed by the splash screen at start up, the info from Avira's FAQ shows how this can be disabled: http://www.avira.com/en/support/faq/details.html?id=211 When I came across this while using the free version, Avira jumped...

IBM's Hardware Maintenance Manual for your MB is located here: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/netvista/06p1788.pdf Pages 105 and 106 of the .pdf have the information you need.

Well, I offered my opinion based on my limited experience with both API's. One seems to be preferred for professional graphics rendering, and the other for game rendering. Two API's and 2 different schools of thought, with each possibly better suited for certain tasks and applications. My...

Wizet? How did you handle today? I would think several of us would be interested in your welfare.

I voted for OpenGL, primarily because it is an open standard API, portable across multiple operating systems. DirectX is Microsoft's proprietary API, and obviously available only on Windows platforms. I have no idea which API is more efficient, but I am aware that OpenGL is more often used in...

I can certainly understand your concerns. Being a parent myself, I've dealt with similar situations with my children, who also had fears about embarrassment at school. Parent's understand more than you think when it comes to life's problems, school, and peers. I still believe your parents are...

Wizet, If you are genuinely concerned about attending school tomorrow, perhaps sharing your fears with your parents would be a good idea. Don't sell your Mom and Dad short, you might be surprised how understanding they can be at times like this. Give them a chance to help, that's what they're...

I feel your research has overlooked one of the finest (if not the finest) antivirus applications, Avira Antivir. Avira's product has wickedly good virus, trojan, and worm detection and removal, rootkit detection and removal, and few, if any false positives. It also has a fast on demand scan...

Adblock Plus (with EasyElement and EasyList filter subscriptions), ColorfulTabs, and Web of Trust (WOT). Adblock Plus and WOT certainly make web browsing a much more enjoyable and safer experience with Firefox. Both are must haves in my book. ColorfulTabs is strictly for the eye candy. :)...

Avira AntiVir Premium. IMHO, one of the best antivirus programs ever released. Light on resources, heavy on keeping the bad stuff out. There's also a free personal version available for download. http://www.free-av.de/en/download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html A brief...

The HTML in the example tells the browser where to get the plugin, assuming Quicktime is not already installed. <EMBED SRC="mymovie.mov" WIDTH=240 HEIGHT = 196 AUTOPLAY=true CONTROLLER=true LOOP=false PLUGINSPAGE=http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">

Windows Vista also allows removal of older IE betas via Control Panel: Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Installed Updates I'nm ot certain about Windows XP (no PC laying around with XP installed), but I would imagine it's under: Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs >...

Freeware CCleaner (formerly known as Cr*p Cleaner) is terrific for disk cleanup. It'll safely remove the cruft that builds up over many months of PC usage. CCleaner comes with a registry optimization function as well. I run it about once a month, It's an amazingly good (and safe) disk...

vim > notepad :biggrin: vim has support for pattern matching, regular expressions, syntax highlighting, you name it! Can also be fully customized to your liking And it's FAST!!! But don't go looking for this gem in your c:\windows\system32 directory, it's a Linux/UNIX command line app...

Embedding a Quicktime .mov to a webpage is pretty straightforward. No add-on or plug-in is required, just some relatively simple HTML. The following website has several examples: http://www.stager.org/imovie/qtweb.html When in doubt, Google is your friend. :)

Very nice link Scoochi2. That's definitely a keeper and one for the bookmarks, thanks!
