1: Trying to come up with a decent design for a site for my brother-in-law despite not having anything to go off of other than the name of his shop and what it sells (computer stuff).

Please though, avoid double posting rather than editing already existing posts as double posting adds nothing to the community and it only serves to take advantage of other people's offers, which won't go down too well with older members of the comm…
Here we go...
HTML is the abbreviation of HyperText Markup Language, and as the name suggests, it's a markup or formatting language, meaning that it handles document structure.
HTML and it's newer brother XHTML are used to build the framework of wha…
Just a few small suggestions:
1: Get someone else to do your site graphics if you're going to actually sell this script as the link in your sig shows a rather poor looking site (I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but would you buy a site script …
THREAD LOCK FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!
This offer is closed unless python says otherwise.
I'm assuming it's really quite over as Python isn't even on WP that much thse days as he's got other things to do (like rebuilding Python Designs).
If Python wants t…

Erm, I'm not actually entering as I have no way of providing it in a format you can easily edit as it's saved as .XAR, which is Xara's own vector format.
Xara can export to Illustrator .EPS and .AI formats, but I'm having some trouble gettin…
Just something I happened to be toying with while trying to design a logo for my brother-in-law, who I might be building a small site for soon...
Anyway, when vector graphics, web 2.0 and your old logo combine, I ended up with something like this:

Well, I've known about the YouTube deal for ages and the fact that some big company is taking MySpace to court only serves to make me incredibly happy, but this also brings up the whole P2P and VHS issues again.
It's completely legal to use P2P sof…

Actually, the hacks that you'll end up using a lot are for Internet Explorer as once again, Microsoft thinks they have control over standards and that everyone else is wrong... And their renderer is just plain bad.
Normal browser (Firefox,…
You should try Firefox 2 anyway.
It does what Internet Explorer 7 does and some things it doesn't.
The tests which say IE7 is better were against Firefox 1.5 and early beta's of Firefox 2.
FX2 has phishing prevention, spell checking, a better lookin…

1024x768 is the maximum my screen supports (kinda sucks, what with my screen being 27" and all, but it is a TV, not a monitor)
Yes, I prefer designs which don't take up the whole width of the screen, which makes building sites for low…

* True, but not for me as I have family who know how to repair them :D
* Actually, if the laptop has some form of monitor port such as DVI or VGA, that might not be true as some do allow you to use two screens, though it's often just mirrore…
Apparently, games made with ASCII's RPG Maker software can be made to run on a Dreamcast.
I know for a fact that it's possible to run homebrew on a Dreamcast without modding it in any way as... er... I've seen it done and it means that you can run e…
I'm pretty sure that it doesn't save it so that it can be edited like a .PSD or Fireworks .PNG as that would make the images unsuitable for some things such as web use where the extra data needed to record what goes where would increase the size of …
The easiest way I can think of would be to use cookies.
What you'd need to do is create a cookie on the users system which holds the date that they first accessed the image.
In your script, you could then pull up this cookie and compare it with the …
Google will probably merge the two at some point.
I doubt they'll destroy YouTube as it's the more popular site, so it's possible that they will fold some of Google Video's features, such as the pay-per-view stuff into YouTube.
YouTube also had the …

Facts of life:
My spelling are not great though me talk good or something...
Firefox 2 really helps when I'm typing quickly though since it has spell checking (many of the mistakes are down to whacking the wrong keys at speed :[).
I know a …

Yeah, the Dreamcast was a landmark console really, but the lack of advertising and the inability to play music without crippling the drive did cause a few slight problems.
The Dreamcast was the first one to really push online play, though b…

If my past experiences with Poser are anything to go by, not really.
Poser is built purely for character design and it actually gives you the models, which come complete with IK skeletons, meaning that setting up a basic scene is as easy as…
Your problem there seems to be that:
1: You're not using an application which can edit animated GIF files.
2: You're saving with a lower quality setting, which is causing the loss of detail and overall graininess.
The GIMP can open animated GIF fil…
So that's why the new Nano uses an all aluminium case like the Mini :D
I never thought I'd see the day when someone bent one... I've heard of people scratching, cracking or all out exploding iPods, but not bending them (you'd think some of the plast…
Actually, I don't really know JavaScript myself.
I've done some very small things with it such as a bit of code for a small editor toolbar which forms part of my CMS (admitedly, some of the more complex stuff was borrowed and modified from a free fo…
Poll edited, 'Other' and 'None' added.
Currently, I have a tiny little Samsung Yepp which has very little memory, but which is quite powerful in other respects and which can go for ages on a single AAA battery despite having a screen.

Drawing over live action footage is a technique called rotoscoping.
It has more recently been used in A Scanner Darkly, which features Keanu Reeves.
Sin City has no rotoscoping, it makes heavy use of green screen techniques (filming agains…
The problem there is that it uses WiFi, meaning that it won't work unless you have access to a hotspot such as, well, your house (if you use wifi) or McDonalds :P
