    Webmaster will not remove a photograph that is my property.

    I had a problem with this twice, which ultimately prompted me to watermark every image on my website... Under copyright law, if you took the picture with your camera it legally belongs to you. I threatened one company with legal action after they basically copied every product image from my...

    Possible malware problem?

    By "left on all the time" do you mean that you never reboot? I'm sure you've tried rebooting, but it sounds to me like Windows Explorer is just kinda frazzled. It happens to me sometimes but a reboot always fixes the problem. Otherwise, I'm a believer that a periodic re-format is a good...

    I Want To Try Linux (Which Version Should I Get?)

    I'll also vote for Ubuntu if you're just starting out with Linux. I personally like Gnome better--it seems more Windows-like to me and is much cleaner than KDE. This probably won't be a problem, but I've never had a good experience running either Linux GUI with <256MB of RAM. Make sure that...

    css question

    Yeah, it is bad form. I used FrontPage to make some quick code. :)

    New toner cost more than the printer its going into!

    Printer ink/toner is way too expensive but the manufacturers know you'll pay it. You can try purchasing genaric refills on the internet, or having your cartdridges refilled. There are refilling companies cropping up all over the place and they're usually a pretty good deal.

    css question

    It's time to use tables. Ahh, tables. Here's the way I would code it: <! DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>bottom</title> </head> <body> <table border="1" bordercolor="#111111" width="275"...

    Folders that aren't there

    It's not a 98 issue because I've seen it on all-XP networks. It must just take some time before Windows is willing to accept the fact that a folder is gone forever. I do know that you can delete folders from your network places, but it only permanently removes the folders intermittently. I...

    Question

    Always make sure the power supply is switched completely off before you work on your computer. You don't want to fry anything. If your fans are running then you need to flip the switch on the back of your power supply to shut it down. It isn't a bad idea to leave the power supply plugged in...

    Want to Dual boot, Linux/Windows.

    It's pretty easy. Just reboot your laptop with the Ubuntu disc in the drive and follow the instructions. Most mainstream Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, come with partition managers built into the installer. It will ask you how you want to split things up before you begin the install...

    Folders that aren't there

    I've been wondering about this too. It happens to me all the time, and eventually the folders will go away, but I've never found a good way to get rid of them immediately.

    Best O/S for a file server?

    I always use Linux for my file servers simply because it's free. I don't really think that stability is all that different with Linux vs. MS for file serving. I'm not the most savvy of networking gurus but I've never had any compatibility issues with Linux-stored shares and it's not hard to...

    New [H]ard|OCP Design [FINAL]

    Probably my favorite improvement is the [H]ard|OCP logo itself, which has a more minimal feel and looks a lot more professional than the existing logo. The new front page layout is definitely "denser" looking, meaning that more information is packed into small spaces, which should prove to be...

    What defines a 'crapper'?

    I, for one, am agast at the term "crapper." I will not have my garden spoken of in such disrespectful terms! :D
