    Dell Laptop - Black screen on bootup

    Friend has a Dell XPS M1530 Laptop. She shut it down and when she turned it back on, it wasn't working right. The screen is black on boot (as in, you can't even see the initial text to get into the bios etc.). But, when Vista finally loads, the screen gets a little brightness to it (like the...

    http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/opera-10-20-goes-alpha Now, Opera widgets run like normal apps. This means they're installed in their own path, have their own desktop/start menu icons, have their own add/remove programs entries and don't require the browser to be running to use them.

    c++ - Object with multiple types

    I've been messing with java a little bit for scripting the realplayer plugin callbacks. In java, you can have an Object of multiple types like: Object args[] = new Object[2]; args[0] = new Integer(5); args[1] = "a string"; I can do things like that in python too. I'd like to try to...

    c++ std::string - find and replace all

This has probably been done, but I wanted to see if I could figure it out, but I really don't know the proper way to use malloc, calloc, realloc and free and I'm not sure realloc can...

    Fix for hardocp.com and Opera

    Since the td font-size of hardocp.com displays 5% smaller in Opera than intended, here's a user js script to fix the font-size so it's the same size as in Firefox. Also, the horizontal rules are not the intended size and color (as explained by Kyle), so that is fixed too. They're supposed to...

    Enhanced Interface - WYSIWYG

    Opera and WindowsUpdate

    If you want to use Opera's Interface to access WindowsUpdate, just read the info. Don't get too excited. It just embeds IE in Opera, which basically allows Opera to be the front end for IE, but it does allow windows update through Opera. (pay attention to the warnings on that thread though)...
