    Question: How To Protect A Review From Being Stolen & Mis-used On Ebay?

    Thanks a lot for the input, guys. I didn't want to link to the specific auctions because my friend was trying to work this out civilly without causing a big ruckus. He's a nice guy with a family and a busy career; he didn't want to devote large amounts of time to this issue. He just figured he...

    Question: How To Protect A Review From Being Stolen & Mis-used On Ebay?

    Thanks, Dave. I'll do some research. In other news, I advised my friend to contact the thief's hosting company directly since they might take the issue more seriously than eBay. The seller is in direct violation of the copyright provision of the user agreement. Apparently, this worked because...

    Question: How To Protect A Review From Being Stolen & Mis-used On Ebay?

    Thanks for the quick replies, everyone. Dave, that sounds very sensible. Can you recommend a link or two where I can read up on this? Do you have any favorite applications in mind? Ebay and Vero haven't done diddly even though the review was copied word for word, images intact, and...

    Question: How To Protect A Review From Being Stolen & Mis-used On Ebay?

    Hi all, My knowledge in this area is limited, so I'd appreciate any advice you can give. I have an associate who writes tutorials and reviews on cameras and photography equipment, which he then publishes on his personal website. Lately, he's been victimized by a loser who has stolen his...

    Should I just give up on Norton?

    I used to use Norton for years, but finally got fed up with all of the trojans it let run amok on my systems. Installed KAV about two years ago and have never looked back.

    Is there a good photo editing gallery?

    That's called a 'montage' or 'collage' and there are several different ways you can go about achieving that effect. Here's a pretty easy tutorial at photoshhop cafe. Have fun!

    *PICS* So, my fiancee surprised me when I came home yesterday....

    She's adorable. The blonde hair is nice, but the darker hair makes her look sultry and mysterious. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

    I need to do some simple editing of a vector graphic...which program do you recommend?

    Here's a list of some other vector based programs. I don't know which ones open Illustrator files or not because I don't own any of them... I work in Illustrator and Freehand. If none of those programs work out for you, the Academic Superstore has Illustrator CS for 95 bucks. Can't beat that!

    I need to do some simple editing of a vector graphic...which program do you recommend?

    No, rnmcd; you can't. You see, once you save the file and then import it into PS, PS will force you to rasterize the image in order to open it. At that point the vector shapes become un-editable (in Photoshop, at least). You should ask around at www.deviantart.com or an illustrator newsgroup. If...

    I need to do some simple editing of a vector graphic...which program do you recommend?

    No. You can add to the artwork, but you cannot edit vector graphics in raster graphics oriented programs (like Photoshop) unless you created the original file in Photoshop. This is because Photoshop does have some limited vector capabilities, but that only means you can create text on a path...

    Help Wanted for artistic work...

    Hi, Devnull. When purchasing a scanner, the software the scanner comes bundled with is almost as important as the scanner itself. All things being equal, the software can make all the difference between an 'okay' scan and an 'excellent' scan... especially if you're planning on scanning...

    Why is my printer so slow???

    I was going to answer your question, but since you think 'girls have issues', I'll leave you to figure it out by yourself. Cheers! :beer:

    I need to do some simple editing of a vector graphic...which program do you recommend?

    Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, and Macromedia Freehand are the industry standard apps for vector graphics, but they're most likely overkill for your needs. Try Creature House's Expression 3. They were bought out by Microsoft, and MS is giving it away for free.

    Canon i960 Photo Printer $136.27 shipped

    Anandfan, the problem you had with faded prints afffects many different inkjet printers and the cause of exactly why some prints fade and others don't is still a mystery. The first line of printers to receive widespread attention over this problem were the Epson 1270s (I know because I had one...

    Firefox amazes me any time I use it!

    Ad Block is the shiznit when it works, but it does cause more problems than any other extension I've tried. Especially if you saved your user profile data from a previous version of FF and imported it into .9.3. If you're still having problems, check out the Adblock forum...

    Torcida, I've never done a side by side comparison because I use the Epson paper almost exclusively (since it's so economical and the prints are so good). For my everyday needs-- snapshots, 8 x 10s, etc-- I love the Epson Glossy Photo paper. When I print large format (poster sized), I've been...

    What is a good WIRED keyboard?

    I just bought one of these for my spare rig and really like it so far. It's very quiet and comes with a built in USB port and a flexible light that you can plug in and use when typing at night. I also like the scroll bar on the left side because I try to use my mouse as little as possible. The...

    ITA, n0cmonkey. Tabs are just faster/more organized for me. Wigwam, sounds like you have a conflict of some sort. FF never crashes for me. Geez, the last time I had a crash was around v. 0.7! Maybe you should re-install or hit the FF forums and get some help. Everyone else, don't forget to...

    WinXP Skinning Program

    It's so annoying when people say, "If you like the Mac interface so much...then why don't you just buy a Mac." Changing a theme does not mean one needs or desires to change OSes. I don't use it personally, but I can certainly see the appeal of the Panther skin. Anyone with eyes and a little bit...

    Canon i960 Photo Printer $136.27 shipped

    For regular old inkjet paper when printing text docs, just use the "Plain Paper" setting, Standard (or Draft if you're trying to save ink) print quality, and auto color adjustment. Check the Grayscale printing box if you don't need color in your document. For photos, use Photo Paper Plus Glossy...

    Canon i960 Photo Printer $136.27 shipped

    This is an excellent printer, agreed, but you don't have to just use Canon papers to get great results. The papers Krome mentioned are all non-compatible with Canon inks because they're made for a different type of printer. Epson papers work very well with Canon printers --- excellent results...

    Found a legit site with nothing but freeware games, utlities, web hosting, and more. THOUSANDS of them! Not one demo.

    DX Ball is great if you're into Breakout style games; I loved it so much I actually bought it a few years ago... of course a couple of months later the company decided to give it away for free :P That being said, make sure your A/V and Spyware software are all up to date before downloading.

    Hard Drive lettering is messed up...

    Unfortunately, this is true. If you try to change the order using the disk management snap-in, you'll get the "You cannot modify the drive letter on system volume or boot volume" error. That happened to me once when I accidentally left a compact flash card reader plugged into a USB port and Xp...
