so you definitely think it's worth it to pay for trillian?

Well I started over from the beginning, now when I try to start X I get a bunch of unresolved symbols and "fatal server error: caught signal 11. server aborting" along with "XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server".

I would just backup my files, format, and reload the OS in that case.

There's not much of a market for new web designers here, to be blunt, and you do have to be strong in design (which requires a natural artistic talent that can't entirely be learned) as well as development (so strong programming skills). Further, at least in my area, the only way to get a lot...

Don't offhand know of one that gives you the code, however MagpieRSS is great for this. It's a PHP parser for RSS feeds. http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/

GIF supports a palette of 256 while JPG supports 16 million, therefore JPG is the better choice when you're working with photos and images with lots of shading and variation. GIF is better for line drawings and logos, and is what you use for animated graphics or graphics with some...

Put me down as another individual who can't wait to see it go public. I wonder if it'll live up to all the hype it's generated this way though.

http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ has a ton of tutorials, I also recommend W3Schools which was mentioned in earlier posts.

Ok, I have installed Mandrake through VMWare, and installed the VMWare tools, the problem is X is still not able to start. I have run XF86Config and tried editing the file manually a couple times but no dice. At the moment the error I've got is, I'm running an NVIDIA GeForce4 which, I'm...

Hm, I don't mind working with hardware, having built a few pc's etc., but I do focus on web development and have a diploma in computer programming. Actually the one part that gets me frustrated is networking, for some reason.

I wouldn't agree with that either, Kangaroo. Going by the people I went to school with, both most of the men and many of the women just saw it as a way to make money. Actually I was appalled by those people, a lot of them just got into it because they heard they'd make big bugs, and I...

That always leads me to wonder - and I'm not trying to be argumentative or anything - but why would it be healthy for more women to be in IT? I'm not saying they shouldn't be, or that it would be unhealthy, and I certainly think young women should be made aware that it is an option for them...

Sorry, I couldn't tell you offhand. However, given how many articles and organizations out there are recommending people use browsers other then IE (due to vulnerabilities and security holes in it), and that browsers such as Opera and Firefox allow you to have pages loaded in multiple tabs...

To be fair, I think it's also true that generally more men are into IT to start with then women. I think it would be fair to say more men are into plumbing and construction as well - of course that doesn't mean women can't get into these jobs, just that more men seem to then women. Even in my...
