I have a collection of old and out of date computer/technology books (Flash 4, Flash MX, Photoshop 6, ASP, etc.) and I have no idea what to do with them? They aren't really of much use to anyone these days. I could just use them as kindling or something but that seems like a real waste. I...

I am having some issues with a terminal server here at work. Users are complaining that they are being kicked off if they leave the session alone for even 5 minutes. I have not been able to reproduce this personally, but several users are complaining of the issues. I have the Session settings...

As posted above, I've been able to delete anything after using Unlocker. Great little program.

I enjoyed it. I think it was a great idea for a story and would make a kick ass game. I was entertained and that's what it was meant to do.

www.asp.net has a great library of online documentation to get you started. I learned asp.net 1.1 by grabbing ASP.NET Unleashed by Stephen Walther. Great book. I guess it depends on if you wish to learn .NET 1.1 or start with the new 2.0 framework. There should be a newer book by...

I have a small humidor but mostly just buy them and smoke them within a day or two. I just hit up the local cigar shops around my town but love when I get the chance to go to Kansas City for my job. There is a great cigar shop out there called the Outlaw Cigar Company. I think they might...

AddHandler t.Elapsed, AddressOf TimerFired These statements are used to assign handlers to dynamically created controls. By default your new dynamic control (timer t) will not have any event handler. It works for any other control as well. i.e. dim myBtn as new button AddHandler...

FWIW, I had this problem at a site at work and simply powering off the cable modem and powering it up again worked. The tech support guy said it needed to register the new MAC address, which I guess only happens on boot-up of the modem. Can't say if that is your problem or not, but that...

There is a Windows XP power toy that does image resizing. It is really easy to use, just highlight the files you want to resize, right click and select Resize Pictures. Then just pick the size and it does it for you. It can make new versions of the files instead of editing the current ones...

I have used SyncBack as well. It works well for backing up/syncing folders. It can work over FTP too. You might have to map a network drive to use it without FTP, I'm not really sure.

Thanks for the recommendation. I browsed that list and have installed dotProject. I'll try to update after a while and let everyone know what I think.

I am writing some software for internal use at our company and am looking for some type of software to help manage the project. Feature lists, bug tracking, etc. just a couple things I am having a hard time managing with a notepad file because I don't have time to really create a management...

Here at work we have a D-link 524 wireless router sitting on the network as a wireless AP. It worked great for a year and about 2 weeks ago it started dropping the wireless connections intermitently. Windows will tell you there is a problem with the connection and simply doing a 'Repair' fixes...

I think absolute positioning would work, I've done that before. But its messy. I also recall something about the float property that helps accomplish this. I think if you put the text in span tags with separate id's or classes (one float right and the other with no float but center...

I recently picked up Spartan: Total Warrior. Tons of fun running around hacking and slashing the Romans and guiding around your fellow spartans. Great gameplay and controls. I also love the Burnout series. I liked Burnout 3 better than Revenge in regards to the Crash mode, but they are...
