the problem with Mozilla and Firefox is that they handle certain things differently from IE. This is where the rant stitches in for me. :shock; the only way that client-side code will ever inch toward 100% platform independence is if all involved parties support W3C standards. You have a ton of stu...

The problem with Mozilla and Firefox is that they handle certain things differently from IE. Its not their fault that 3rd party apps are written specifically for IE and won't always work correctly in them. Specifically certain dynamic stuff just won't work PSU. We see it all the time at university s...

Yeah, I was planning on that. I am going to finish researching the 40in LCD monitors today and then see if we are even remotely interested in spending the money. I doubt we will be but I certainly wouldn't mind two of them in our multimedia room so I'll play along.

ElTaco

I guess the logical question is

Why?

Fireworks doesn't do nearly as good for photo editing as photoshop in my less then extensive experiance.

I still am not sure where they got that name from. Here is all the viruses that came out as of yesterday.

True, i'm not about to download it, but I do like that its there because of the market recognition. Remember that a lot of older folks actually started out with Netscape. They have no clue what firefox is, but they may be willing to give netscape a try because it was the first browser they ever used...

So Sun has officially released the final release of Solaris 10. You can order the CDs/DVDs online for the shipping costs and a single license for playing around is free if you register Solaris.

It was released for both the Sparc and Intel CPUs.

may have been wrong. We all know the story. AOL killed off netscape after it got a huge settlement out of Microsoft. Then out of nowhere, Netscape released a new version based on Firefox. They only had a few people actually working on it but it was in fact a new release and then they updated that ve...

have officially launched MSN Search on http://www.msn.com. Thsi is a built from the ground up search engine. Of course I like the http://search.msn.com/ interface better because of its simplicity but I have a feeling that I'll be sticking with Google for now.

ElTaco

Yep thats basically the same line of thinking I've come to. Bright bulb, good contrast and good resolutions. Of course saving money on Bulbs is important too so the longer the life the better. I"m going to be researching deals on LCD Screens today. It seems like these projectors cover about 40i...

Is that the name of the virus? NeomonAP23? Never heard of it. Why did they figure it out? There is no way that there is no information on the internet unless its a 0 day virus/worm. Either way, its their fault for not keeping your machines up to date. I'm working on a setup that will automate most o...

You can try the full Mozilla browser. Its a different code base, although works fairly similar to Firefox. Netscape is based off of either Mozilla or Firefox, depending which one you download. Opera has been around for quite a while. Same thinking as firefox but totally different codebase. Also supp...

So as the Tech forum mod, I'll try to liven up this place from time to time by asking questions from you guys for projects I"m working on at work. I'll try to keep them as open ended as possible so you can throw in info even if it doesn't directly apply to me and my requirements. Today's questi...

I thought I'd just mention that article for the neysayers and all. I think most advanced users/Mac users already knew that. The article makes some excelent points, that directly apply to the mice but indirectly apply to general PC usage.

If you have a Hauppauge card, you can use an old 600mhz pc with lots of hd space instead of going for a newer system. Worth the $120 or so price IMHO. Thats what I plan on doing.

Gear Live published an article about the Mac's one button mouse. Why do they still ship with it? Well the reasons are quite funny and to be truthful I can't argue with em. The real surprise for some of you will be that: Mac's Support Two buttons and have done so for the past 7 (yes Seven) years. Lin...

Anyone ever heard of it? I think I've mentioned it to some folks who read the TOT Tech forum regularly. MythTV is an open source project to create a very advanced computer/build it yourself PVR. Can you not afford your own PVR? No problem, take a computer and build it yourself. Of course more then l...

So there is an MIT project under way with the help of some giants such as AMD and google. Its being developed for third world countries and will be sold directly to governments. The plan is to sell it with AMD chips, 14in screens and Linux. Unfortunately unless you are willing to order 1 Million or ...

Photoshop is the biggest program they will want to move over (adobe that is) and they will want to hurry up. I think that some of the linux projects out there are doing rather nicely and if MS scares more and more people onto Linux and Adobe isn't around to keep helping these people, they will notic...

There are a ton of companies out there that will do it for you for about $30 or more or you can individually go to all the big boys and usually
a: submit it for free and they'll look out for links for it
b: pay them some $$ and they'll list it.

ElTaco

I concur. SP2 is trash, but if they are just basic users, you can install it and then just make sure that you disable the built in firewall and security center and enable the automatic download of security patches. If you have time, you can instead just install all the required security patches and ...

ElTaco

I guess the biggest question is are you planning on using all of the tools or just the two you already have installed? Most people only use email and the web. They don't browse the news servers on the web and they don't go on irc. I'd say unless you use all the tools, just download what you need. -ET

Well a 2nd tray or an envelope tray will work. Yeah I accidentally didn't realize I was in the main forum when I posted that one. I saved the mods a move and deleted/reposted here. Anyway, my biggest issue is the 'requirement' that it be a color printer and that there be a seperate place to load env...

Anyone know of a ~$300 printer that has at least 2 trays. I've been searching but the only ones I can find cost a lot more.

Thats not how it works. You replace the icons, links, bookmarks, homepage and the name. You can add in any addins that we like and so on so forth (like a dictionary, phpbb, adblock, etc...) Then when new members ask about firefox, we can point them to our browser. Anyway, it was mainly a joke becaus...

No takers for the T1B Firefox browser? Oh well. :D

O'Reilly is getting ready to release two books about Firefox.
One is Firefox Hacks for power users (sup Tech forum regulars).
The second is Don't Click on the Blue E! for those wishing to change over from IE.

I have to say I tend to agree with HH on the Sony Vaio. They tend to be very expensive and my limited track record with them isn't all that impressive. They aren't bad laptops and certainly their smaller size is neat, but The ones I've seen are usually full of problems. Last company I worked at we h...

Just read the install/readme file. It tells you step by step. Its really easy. Once you have PHP installed (v5 I believe) or since you are renting space, once you make sure they have it installed, you just gunzip/unzip the files into a directory. Connect and the rest of the setup is though the web. ...

Another interesting tidbit: Speakeasy ( http://www.speakeasy.net/ ), one of the larger DSL providers in the US has decided to offer a special version of Firefox under its own label. They are using it as an improvement to their service. The browser will include their logo and links that they recommen...

CTRL + Tab to cycle through the tab. I love using Alt + Tab to switch between windows so when I finally took the time to look up CTRL + Tab, I started using it.

Do you think they are a good idea? I personally think its BS. Why? Because that would be like Mcdonalds going out and patenting the idea of a fast food burger place.
