    Televisions as monitors: What are you using, and why?

    I got my fiance a Nintendo DS + Mario Kart. What was baffling is that I couldn't buy Tetris for less than $55 used. I couldn't find it new at all. I can't believe they would stop making one of the most popular games of all time. I would also like to get New Super Mario World. But, I already went...

    Wifi router reccomendations?

    I have a Trendnet draft N AP, I have to cycle power on it every few days to get it working right. I might put one of those light timers on it to "automatically" cycle the power for me every night.

    Something Random

    I'm going up to Milwaukee on Amtrak, I missed the 5:08pm train by about 90 seconds. I had to wait 2 hours and 57 minutes for the next train. At least I had time to drink a couples beers while I waited. They close and lock the doors 5 minutes prior to departure, otherwise I'd already be there...

    USB Flash Drive Bootable XP Image?

    When I've used a Fedora live image from a USB thumb drive I have write access to almost any filesystem out there. If you don't have write access you can simply umount the drive, update fstab and remount.

    Another system build

    If they won't notice, you could just use a dual core Celeron. I haven't used one of these, so I don't know how big of a difference this makes.

    Hey Doug, I've been using the new link you added, but it seems to just go to the last post in a thread rather than the last unread post in a thread like the button on the "New Posts" page does. Any way to fix this?

    My building is over 100 years old and I'm in the "garden" unit (basement). I think it's that wireless signals won't go though concrete.

    Wireless to Wireless Bridge

    I'm really unsure what these are for exactly. For example, the NanoStation, reading the description and datasheet I can't tell if I can use it as both a wireless bridge and AP. They really only show it connected to remote camera via cable. I looked for the manual, but couldn't find anything.

    Wireless to Wireless Bridge

    Does such a thing exist? I bought a TRENDnet TEW-638APB a few months back and finally got around to configuring it tonight. I thought I could use it to wirelessly bridge one Wireless Access point with several wireless devices. Basically the TRENDnet bridge would be connected with no ethernet...

    I just tested it and it works for me as well. Though, it would be nice if the anchor was placed above the person that posted, so that you could see who posted without having to scroll up. Now I'm really nitpicking.

    There's no function getElementByName. There is getElementsByName, which returns an array. You could just assume there is only one element with that name and use element[0]. I think that setFocus is going to run on page load, not when when they click on Search. You probably could use an event...

    You can do this by setting focus on the input by ID. The function would look like this: function setFocus(id) { var element = document.getElementById(id); if (element && element.focus) { element.focus(); } } Then just run the function and pass the input ID when the...

    I think the best way would be to use an anchor that would would move to the first unread post. That's what happens when I click the little image to the left of links on the "New Posts" page when using the default theme.

    Windows Home Server / Home Server OS

    I do too and it pisses me off every day. Most of our source is in CVS though. I understand CVS has it's own set of problems, but it works a lot better than VSS.

    I believe .Net 3.5 contains .Net 2.0, but if you have applications that require 1.1 that requires a separate install.

    Not even Microsoft will use VSS internally. VSS has to be one of the worst source control applications of all time.

    SAS: CARDS, ETC. WORTH THE MONEY?

    That sounds like a thinly veiled attack right there. Just for the record, I ran a SCSI boot drive until earlier this year, when I moved over to a SSD. I don't see how it's any harder to figure out. Unless you get an unterminated cable and you don't know it's supposed to be terminated. With SAS...
