    UL80VT still worth buying?

    Hey all - I need a laptop for web design work and occasional gaming. I'll be hauling it around a lot so I'd like it to at least be somewhat portable, and I was thinking of getting the Asus UL80VT, but it seems weird to buy a laptop that's nearly a year old. Are there better options out now...

    Website Critique Needed

    Hey everyone, some of you might have seen the website in my signature for a while now. I think I finally have it to the point where it's ready for a critique. There is still a *lot* to do with the site - I'm learning that web development is never, ever "done." The address is...

    Need an *EASY* to use CMS

    Hey all, for my senior project for college I've been tasked with making a website (with a group) for a local church. They need to be able to constantly update and add new pages, and by 'they' I mean very old ladies. I've done a few hours worth of research so far and am about where I was when I...

    Just how slow are tables? (HTML)

    Several users of my website have complained about the website running (not loading) slowly. The site was built on top of a fairly old script that used tables, and I never bothered to replace them with divs - could this alone be causing it? I don't notice it on my computer but on an older...

    YAFGT: Red Remover

    Red Remover Want to waste some time? Here you go. Made by the same guy as the Super Stacker series of games. It starts off pretty easy but things change at level 11...even though level 9 gave me far more trouble than it should have.

    How has their not been a spiritual successor to AoE2?

    I don't get it - it seems like the gameplay style of Age of Empires I and II were victims of their own success - everyone is afraid to make games that have classic resource collection and base building. On top of that, with the advent of 3D gaming it seems the battles just don't seem the same...

    Another sweet flash game - Seed of Destruction

    Game Basically, you ride a giant sperm and destroy things. All of the art is hand drawn and so are the cutscenes - it's an amazingly well put together game despite the odd 'plot'. It's 800x600 which is why I linked it at newgrounds - a lot of game sites shrink games down if they don't fit...

    Long distance wifi?

    First, a picture, drawn with my awesome skill in MS paint: Picture It isn't exactly drawn to scale. My friend owns a "barn," (more like a storage building with a very nice upstairs), but we have no internet there. That's marked as letter B on the picture. Luckily, friend also owns home A...

    Will my dad's old Nikon lenses work with a D40?

    My father's old (old..my guess would be 70s or 80s) SLR broke, so I gave my mom the idea that we could get him a digital SLR for Christmas. Problem is, I'm sure he'd want to keep his old lenses - there's only 3 or 4, but I know enough about photography to know they're expensive :P We can...

    What antivirus for Windows 2000?

    I've got someone I know that has 3 computers with Windows 2000 on them that is fed up with Norton. I'm pretty far away though and she's a fairly old lady - she can handle installing the software but it should be something that she could find in a store/order. I guess something downloadable...

    Dog lost in Minnesota

    About 36-48 hours my dog Pooh Bear went missing. My sister named him. We've searched our woods and the local area and put ads in the paper and so on, but we haven't turned up a clue. He's 13 years old and has never run away and we live on a 60 acre plot and he has never had a leash (or...

    Inserting a number of divs into two other divs?

    Can't find an RTS better* than AoE2 :(

    I think I've played most RTS games known to man, at least the popular ones, and I can't find one that's as good as Age of Empires 2. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is basic, but that's sort of what makes it so good. The basic fighting of rock/paper/scissors is there, but when you toss in a...

    Vertical (side?) drop down menu, with images...

    I think my sister may have Aspergers

    Basically, she's a bitch. 22 years old, for reference. However, she has other qualities that make it seem like it's not just regular young girl bitchiness. She can't seem to tell what emotion people are displaying. For instance, my girlfriend was saying how it's going to suck paying the...

    Need portable sound from my xbox!

    I have a set of Logitech z-5500s for my house, but a lot of times I go to my friend's "barn" (more of a cabin...) to play Xbox 360. Now, my past two projectors, the Infocus X1 and Sharp Xr-10x, have had a built in speaker. Complete trash, to be sure, but it got the job done (after using an...

    Ad in Craigslist's For Sale section..

    I'll let the link speak for itself I don't know if I should laugh or cry. He's 36 years old and retired? Right. I know these types of ads are on Craigslist all the time, but there's something about his picture that gives me the creeps, and something tells me he'll get nobody to respond :(

    Girlfriend just lost her wallet

    She's cancelling the check card right now, but does anyone have any advice for what to do about the fact that there's a decent chance her social security number has been stolen? I'm assuming one of those credit monitoring places would be the best bet? I really have no idea - I don't know why...

    Three doctors, three different opinions

    My girlfriend has been having troubles with smelly sinuses for about the past year or so. It seems to come and go relatively randomly - it'll be smelly for 3 weeks, then OK for 2. The smell ranges from "I can smell that a bit" to being able to smell it and being disgusted when you enter the...

    England to ban samurai swords

    Link What's next? Are they going to ban every single object that can kill someone? They may aswell just ban everything, including people's hands. It just goes to show banning guns doesn't stop violent crime; it only makes the people who are going to commit it turn to other means. You...

    Why use properties?
