I got used to the new version. I just figured the less usable parts were because I got the basic version of 2004. But maybe I was wrong and 2004 went backwards in terms of usability. 2004 isn't as 'usable' as 2000 was to me. I miss the main screen of 2000. It had most of what I needed in one...

What do you need it to do? I used quicken deluxe 2000 for a while and just upgraded to quicken basic 2004. But with both I use a separate spreadsheet called checking account projections. This allows me to see what my balance will be. So maybe something like this spreadsheet is sufficient for...

Are they for sale?

See this thread over at SR

I haven't been through the book yet, but I would recommend: XSLT Programmers Reference. SuperCaff probably could help with specifics. I mostly have to read and slightly modify XSL not write it from scratch.

I don't know if this will work for you but I have it bookmarked to research later: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

New project by main developer of mozilla's composer called nvu. Still kind of beta but it should be usable for a site like that, which incidentally locked firefox up something fierce.

RE: separate user/admin accounts For businesses, that is a choice they have to make. My particular business has almost everyone as a local administrator. We are mostly programmers and from time to time need local administrator rights to our machines. We don't get the domain administrator...

I don't agree on this. Maybe ideally but it is such a pain to have to logout and log back in as administrator to do something. Sure you can use run as to do most things but I made myself a local admin a long time ago and never looked back. If windows XP pro supported the fast-user switching...

XP, 200GB, SATA, data corruption Sounds like someone here might be able to help http://forums.storagereview.net/index.php?showtopic=15029

I should note that she uses Netscape, albeit like 6.2 or something like that. In my mind the probable sources of adware/spyware are: 1) IE - specifically activex behaviour 2) File sharing networks (P2P) - I'm not familiar with the players here so I lump them all together. Is there a legit use...

I recently visited my mom as she was reporting windows booting into safe mode. Her resolution just needed to be set right. But I decided to check it with an AV and Adaware while I was there. All clean, well except for a couple of cookies. This is in a 2-3 months timeframe since the last...

It could be like my CF card reader. If I leave the reader plugged in and switch cards it doesn't work. I have to disconnect the reader, switch cards, then plug it back in. But hey the reader was free.

My pops has a nice yellow car exactly like yours timwhit. Initially my sister bought it (moms cosigning). Then she went away and the parents got stuck with it. There is a club around here with owners of this car and they are almost all yellow. She painted the inside of her doors. My pops had...

Sounds like it was subjected to some sort of power surge. I don't know what you can do in these cases, short of swapping boards. Maybe contact IBM support and see if there is anything you can do?

The supreme master of origami achieved the ultimate by encoding 25GB of data on paper.... Seriously it is mostly paper on the label side to allow for better printing on that side. Seems interesting, though I'm not sure how long they will last.

They are comparing it to tape were I believe the compressed capacity is often used in marketing.

At first I was like, hey that might be a good thing to replace my zip drive. Then I looked at the price. That is way too expensive a drive. The individual disks aren't that bad but should be under $50 in my opinion. A monster IDE drive in a removable/external enclosure is probably cheaper...

Sure this isn't just one of the compressed exes?

bling-bling: I believe this originated in the rap world where it referred to the 'stylish' items they wear such as their gold chains and such. It has since extended to the 'phat' customizations on cars such as chrome wheels and 'tricked out' interiors. Lately the term has also showed up in some...

Had to deal with the plastic packaging from hell this weekend. For a $15 mouse, which incidentally fits its need quite well. Link is to best buy but I got it at target for $14.99. I needed a 'real' mouse for use with the laptop. When designing forms and what not and doing pixel specific work...

Ahhh sweet broadband! RCN rocks.

Ahh... a little research on netgear.com revealed Funk Software... An article here gave me a link. So $50 bucks additional if he wants to use WPA on windows 2000.

Yes I'm deciding how best to approach the matter of replace ME with XP to them. I might suggest 2K instead as they might not need any more ram. XP may slow down their PC though... at least every XP home install I've come across is slow.

Yes that sounds like it. But =this knowledgebase article seems to indicate ME doesn't come with it.

well it went as planned. I got the MR814v2 (hook it up saturday) he got the WGR614v3 (hooked it up last night) It installed and worked without any configuration. I updated the firmware on the router to the latest and the configuration utility for the wireless card WG511. However, although I am...

So my uncle's wireless went in without a hitch. But he had viruses and spyware and more problematic: a wininit.exe error on startup. He is running windows ME. So I cleaned the viruses - thanks AVG. But AVG wasn't updating. I had to uninstall and install the latest to get the updates. On the...

So we are heading out tonight and I think I'm going to go for the netgear MR814 instead. I only have a b based card already so the added speed won't do me any good. Seems like it will meet my needs. And it has two rebates at best buy taking it from 69 to $29. Any other recommendations for a...

Cleaning out the basement?

Good news is I converted them to firebird while I was there. Haven't been back to switch them to firefox.

I've setup a belkin before, my sister has it. My brother-in-law spent some time trying to get it to work and going back to the store to talk to the guy before they called me in. I had it setup in like 5 minutes. Biggest problem was finding the right IP for the router to get into the setup...

Thanks merc, that was the thread I was thinking of. So it looks like the newer netgear WTG624 is the way to go for me, maybe the cheaper WTG614 is the way to go for my uncle.

Yes the 3x optical zoom sucks. Even pictures at birthday parties need more. I was just at one and taking pictures of the kids playing outside.

Anti-Virus - Nod32 http://www.eset.com download Firewall - ZoneAlarm http://www.zonelabs.com download Yes you have to pay for nod32 but it has consistently won awards for best anti-virus. And from personal experience it uses very little system resources to do so. ZoneAlarm is dead simple to...

Sounds like you should just get a point and shoot canon... mabe the A70 or A80. I have the A60 -2MP. I just take pictures with it, lots of them. Most of my son or my cat. Only 3x optical zoom on the A60. But take this with a huge grain of salt... I don't know anything about photography.

Did you perhaps mean his phone number?

Oh my eternal deity.... I just looked at the source for that power supply calculator. Yes the problem is the use of vbscript versus javascript. But even if they fixed that... it is a form with no form! Those crazy fly by night web developers.... you never know what they'll come up with.

I don't bother much with the political threads. But I'm probably considered conservative.

The driver information is horribly bad too. The date information and version numbers are not reliable. Generally if MS offers me a driver update, I then go check the manufacturers site to get the latest version.

I'd be finding whoever is the head of their customer service or their ceo and sending a certified letter. They should definitely be crediting you for at least a month of service and waiving all fees. Of course if there is no competition in the area to motivate them...

The Gimp - image editor comparable to photoshop. http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/stable.html I have it through the grape vine that version 2.0 will be out in about a week.

I put SP1 on the machines and don't look back. I'm anxiously awaiting SP2 hoping it improves performance for the slow PCs with XP that I get to support. These are mostly XP home machines. They should be humming but.... slow.

Can you connect two computers directly via the USB port? I want to move some files between a desktop and a laptop. I have a cable that would connect on both ends (it is an extension cable for a usb card reader). I just don't want to hook them up and blow both usb ports out or something.

I bought it a couple of years ago because I used it. Now I use 7-zip. UI isn't as great as winzip.

Waiting for....? I am reminded of last night's simpsons episode where the mean judge lady sentenced bart and homer to be tethered together and when marge cut the cable by the wonders of fiber optics there were able to have a two-way communication with the judge... who just happened to be in her...

shhhhh they are the secret listening devices the FBI is trying to get CityK to use without knowing it. ;)

Anybody remember some product that was supposed to backup to VCR Tapes? I wonder how this compares in terms of longevity? VCR Tapes last a long time but that could be because the data isn't as close together as it could be?

My choice was basically between the Canon and the Epson previous models. I chose the epson perfection 1260 photo and have been happy with it. I think I got in while they were clearing the old stock for the new models and got it for $50. I see they have it at overstock.com now for $70...

Ideally I believe in staying home. Screw dedication, a sick worker coming in is only a disease waiting to spread. But usually it depends on whether I have paid sick days left and how sick I am. If I am just starting to feel sick put still feeling okay, I go in. If I'm throwing up, hacking up a...
