    Career advice

    Well, the first thing you could do is announce it on a public forum and see what happens ;) More seriously...schedule some time with them in a coffee shop and a virgin laptop, and demonstrate the hack on a test version of the site (or do something with it that's relatively innocuous, although...

    Anybody want a job?

    I haven't been around here much in the last few years, but this post is me a) asking for help, by b) offering somebody the chance to earn some decent cash. I'm leaving my current employment, and they have a big project which needs building; therefore, they need to find somebody who can do it...

    CSS Layout issues

    You can, but it's not always reliable (and the method escapes me right now). CSS3 is better at this sort of thing, I believe. Happy to help, BTW :)

    CSS Layout issues

    Okaaayyyyyy....is this what you're after? http://www.digitalscream.org.uk/cryptotracker/CryptoTracker.html There are a few things here... - You've got a fixed width for the whole thing (800px), so there's no point trying to define the main content area width by percentages. Your sidebar width...

    IDE's or editors?

    I work mostly in Ruby these days (the focus being mainly Rails); I've tried most of the IDE solutions for it, and they all just seem to get in my way in a major way...and all for different reasons. In the end, I just gave up and now I tend to use gEdit with a terminal open at the bottom and...

    best free forum software

    We've had decent results with Vanilla over at TheFretboard - it seems to be handling 40k+ hits per day without much bother, running on the cheapest VPS Linode do. It did take a bit of Apache optimisation, but it's fine other than that.

    'World's Oldest' Newspaper Going Digital After 279 Years

    Some are. Like our local paper, which has an unbroken run since 1695 (and isn't even on that list).

    US to Freeze Assets of Hackers and Deport Cyber Criminals

    Exactly. 2% of the entire country's GDP? Or, looking at it another way...$1000 for every man, woman and child in the country. Absolute crap no matter how you look at it...

    Simplicity vs. Eye Candy

    Gnome with xfwm4 instead of Metacity/Compiz for me. Compiz was just too bloaty and has major performance problems with running out of video RAM (my Thinkpad R61 uses the Quadro NVS140M, which only has 128MB)...I tried going back to Metacity, but I found I just couldn't live without transparency...

    php: developing on linux, running on windows

    One problem which often occurs is where you subsequently move from hosting it on Windows to hosting on Linux (you can never predict Random Acts of Management), yet your lazy Windows developers haven't taken any notice of case sensitivity in the file structure, thus making it *only* work on...

    Why you chose linux

    I've used Linux as my main desktop since...oh...2003, I think. It was mainly because Microsoft had suddenly decided that my fully-paid copy of XP was no longer valid due to me having the temerity to reinstall it more often than they thought it should be, and their activation phone line wasn't...

    Unix distros...?

    Nothing to add, since these guys seem to have it covered, but....I just wonder how many Linux/Unix pedants saw this thread title and took a moment to warm up for a "Linux is NOT Unix" flaming session? :D

    which vid card ati or nvidia has best linux support

    I've found that NVidia cards have the best performance using the binary drivers in Linux - ATi drivers have been fairly unstable for me, and have resulted in absolutely shocking performance with two monitors. A lot of people say that the ATi drivers have more features, but I've never got past...

    Windows ME reinstallation question (yes, seriously)

    When you know that it works under ME, and controls something as critical as the air con in a school, do you really want to exhaustively test the software and then be responsible for any failures? It may run, but it's highly likely that problems will arise. Seems to me that the best plan is to...

    Everytime I turn on my Vista 64bit pc, it takes down the internet

    OP: Have you tried disabling UPnP on your router yet? Everything I've read about these symptoms (including two posts in this thread) suggest that it's at least partially responsible....
