    Sites with website screenshot on a screen on the screen.

    I've seen some websites who take a screenshot of the website and I am guessing use photoshop to spin it a little for perspective, then add to a computer screen icon or sometimes the glass floor effect on the website. ;) Anyone know of a site that does this? I am trying to add it to my site...

    Press the volume controls, Windows XP Hangs?

    I formatted the HD in my laptop about 2 weeks ago and went with a very vanilla install...only running a couple apps like SQL 2005, Visual Studio, and similar programs. I suspected that my newfound problem was related to IIS or SQL or VS debugger running in the background, but I finally have it...

    Spam (pron) ads in side margins know where I live!

    How do they know where I live? I cleared out the temp internet files, cookies, etc, but they have my city down and customizing pron ads accordingly. I looked up every whois-type of query on my IP, but not sure how they come up with my city, as my ISP (Verizon) comes back for the IP in a...

    I found 3 sweet flash templates I really like (but the $60/per is scaring me off), but I am wondering if it's pretty easy to customize them once purchased...have limited Photoshop skills, decent with Dreamweaver...not the least bit artistic.... :)

    Need advice on web hosting...cheap.

    I did a search, but didn't find what I am looking for, which, of course, is a cheap website host with the most bang for the buck and perhaps a website builder/content management system that offers lots of features for rookies. :) GoDaddy's hosting seems reasonable, but I figured I would ask...

    Any MS "Movie Makers" on?

    I'd like to do two things with the video on my camcorder--burn DVDs with the 60 minutes of video, but also cut it up into mini clips to email/play with on the computer. Once I open MS Movie Maker, it gives me a few options..."Best quality for playback on computer," which sounds like what I...

    I haven't built a website in a LONG time, but like to get one up and running. What's the best way to go about hosting a site? I looked into a Dell server, but the specs looked like just a regular PC...couldn't I just built a new PC that's dedicated to hosting? Also, anyone know if Verizon...

    Linksys USB Wireless 'hub' adapter as well as PCI card?

    I noticed Linksys has a hub/router-looking wireless adapter (WMP54GS), which would free up my lst PCi slot I intend to use for a firewire card. Would this work as well as the regular PCI adapter? Given that I am not pushing 100M/sec from the FIOS router in my garage, I suspect the USB would...

    What is your favorite brand of paint? What would you recommend?

    We went with a deep, dark red sample, but the paint looks pretty pink to me in the can. I painted over a 3'x3' area to test it with one coat and the color wasn't even close. I tried a second coat, and although it was darker, it still looked sort of pink to me (and it looks a shade of pink in...
