Ewwww. You can also make the shutdown menu more normal if you want, but there is not much of a point.

:roll:

How is Dreamweaver all that evil?

Macromedia Products also take a very long time to shutdown.

Have you considered calling tech support?

I have been playing with Pandora for the last day and a half and I have to say that it is really cool. (Yes, it is flash, but you can deal with it for something this sweet). It is based off of the Music Genome Project that was started about 6 years ago to categorize songs by 400 attributes. You...

I have a feeling you might be in Rochester. My friend worked in Rochester for about a year before getting transferred to Chicago, which he was pretty happy about. Go for gray, it can be worn with most shirts/ties.

Do you have an old external SCSI burner you could use? I had the external casing for a 50-pin SCSI burner until a couple months ago, but I pitched it assuming there was no possible use for it.

You know what I am not going to watch this Sunday? The stupid Academy Awards. If I hear one more person talk about those I will kill.

I could care less about speed on a USB flash drive. All I care about is its ability to not break with my data on there.

Ask Mercutio. I am under the impression that he is rich beyond belief.

You should go for 2003 Server, much better choice than XP.

Why not remove the link and keep the post. Wouldn't want to lose one of Tannin's precious posts.

Nice write-up Merc. From what you have said so far, I am not looking forward to using or fixing Vista. (Though I stay as far away from fixing computers as possible these days, except for myself, my parents, friends, etc.) Sounds cumbersome and excessive at every level.

Kind of expensive, if that is all you are doing, isn't it?

Do you know how loud the BenQ 6240 projector is?

That is what I thought, but just wanted to make sure he wasn't selling some Germanic version of the same projector with a weaker bulb or something.

Is this the same projector? Why does it say only 1700 lumens, when it is supposed to have 2700 lumens?

Thanks for all of the responses guys! Merc, I am seriously considering your advice about buying a projector. What store in the Chicagoland area can I view a DLP projector such as the BenQ one or another comparable one? If there are a bunch of windows (during the day) and I am trying to view a...

My car can accelerate to 75mph in 10 seconds. I don't find it uncomfortable to do this either.

So what is the best technology out there right now? If I want to spend $1000 on a new TV (this is the max price) what is the best technology to go for? For example this TV can be had for $1000 or maybe slightly less: http://chicago.craigslist.org/ele/137456310.html and it is a 40" tube. I...

Check this out: http://www.carsonworkshops.com/design-dev/shea/11MAY2006.html Anyone know anything about Dave Shea (the speaker)? What kind of reputation? If I come to the conclusion that this would be a useful seminar then I can probably get my organization to pay for me to go. Anyone have...

If the cards are worth any money I wouldn't try that.

Wow I have a famous name: http://www.abc.net.au/mda/staff/whitney.htm Well if you watch MDA in Australia.

Damn it I don't need a DirectTV receiver.

Did they ship quickly? I wish this stupid toaster would sell out. Someone please buy 50 of them.

Good to know. I shall refresh it every 10 minutes. Has anyone ordered anything from them before?

It's from the Simpsons Episode where Bart is Burn's heir. You can read it here: http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F16.html

That brightened my morning. Thanks CityK.

The programmer should know about the OS' weaknesses when he is designing the software. Is there any way to change the way Windows pages?

I've been wondering for months why Firefox uses so much memory. Read the comments on that page (they are not positive). Why would I need to be able to go back 5 or 8 times PER tab? I use other applications on my system as well, I don't like it when Firefox uses 300MB+ RAM and even if I close...

In my opinion, the Simpsons hasn't been funny since Season 8, which was 9 years ago. They should have killed that show long ago. Season 3-8 of the Simpsons is the best TV ever created. Nothing will ever top that show when it was in its prime.

Arrested Development is off the air. Now there are no good comedies on TV that aren't animated. And frankly the new Family Guy episodes just aren't as funny as the episodes before the first cancellation. Is anyone else pissed that Fox has once again screwed the pooch? There should be an award...

I was in a meeting all afternoon. Sooo boring.

Buck might be right. I am still holding my breath for a hat trick from Will.

It is kind of working. It is pushing the icon out to the very right. Do you know if there is any way to force IE to put the icon in the same place that firefox does? I can't make the change go live until later today, but here is a screenshot of what it looks like.

I'm home from work now, but I will try it first thing tomorrow morning to let you know if it works. Thanks for the help, Will.

Where are Tannin and Buck? Aren't both of those guys supposed to be experts at this sort of stuff?

Thanks for looking into it, Will. I wouldn't normally break a link on purpose. I just did it on this page to serve as an example. On other pages where a link is too long for the line it breaks itself and then the icon image gets broken as IE is not smart enough to know where to place it. I...

If you go with option #3, several of your other numbers will mysteriously disappear too. No one will care about the phone or voicemail if the building is engulfed in flames.

I just read up on inheritance a bit and now have a better understanding. I was under the impression before that it was inheriting from a not from whatever element on the page that it was under. Will, since you are on such a role with fixing my problems maybe you want to try your hand at...

Damn you are right. I even tried this, but I just used an inline style to try to change this, but it was still picking up the inherit from the main style sheet. Stupid CSS is going to cause me to have a mental breakdown. Thanks again Will.

I got the webmaster to integrate the fix into the main css file. No more problems there. I have a new problem though and I have been trying to fix it for a good while now. I figure if anyone can fix this, it is you guys. If you open this page in Firefox you should notice that next to the link...

If it is the front door of a house I bet it will cost at least a few hundred $ to replace. Obviously you don't want to go with something flimsy. Next time try punching a couch a pillow or just scream real loud. If an alarm system seems like a lot of money there are other options like signs...

At 5am there isn't too much traffic. And I would agree that 8 miles to the closest station is a good distance. But, I would never buy a house that far from public transportation. Personal choices differ quite a bit in this case. Where is your employer's office located downtown? I'm at 321 N...

My parents live less than 1 mile from 2 different commuter train stations. They live in a pretty old community that was built-up because of the commuter trains, which were built in the late 1800's. The lines were electrified in 1926. More than 50% of their community of 20k commutes into the...

Forgot to mention, the line I took was about a 25 mile trip and made about 5 stops from where I got on to where I got off. The trip took about 35 minutes.

There are two electrified commuter lines in Chicago. One is the South Shore line that goes to Michigan City, Indiana. The other is Metra Electric that I used to take for downtown every day for about 9 months. I don't know what line Fushigi takes, but he doesn't live south or in Indiana so he...

When I was commuting from the suburbs, I would take Metra and get downtown in under 45 minutes on an express train for a cost of ~$3 with a montly pass. This 45 minutes is including the walk from Michigan and VanBuren to Adams and Wells where I used to work. Where is the office in Chicago that...
