Now i am home from uni for summer(and beyond) I have a spare pc and some spare time. I am looking for ideas for what I can do with it and what software/OS to run. The specs of the PC are: - 2.8ghz P4 - 512mb RAM - 80GB HDD (got more if needed) - On board graphics and sound - Wireless...

Hopefully this is fairly simple, but the solution evades me. What I want to do is prevent a user closing their web browser window (as they need to log on to access the page, I want them to use the proper logoff link otherwise it leaves sessions running on the server and messes the database up...

2 years ago I wanted to build my own php and MySQL based photo gallery. I coded a upload form and back end that uploaded an image to a folder and insert all the information in to a database so I could recall it later to display the images in a gallery. I only got it about 70% done and it was...

Anyone know how to permanently adjust the video brightness setting in VLC (1.0.2) on Ubuntu 9.10? In Windows there's an Image Adjust video filter but in Ubuntu it's not there :(. Clicking the little icon of the sliders at the bottom and changing the brightness that way only applies it to the...

I installed the nightly build from the blog below. I've not used a FF nightly build years so it was a bit of fun to give this one a go. http://www.basschouten.com/blog1.php/2010/03/02/presenting-direct2d-hardware-acceleratio I'm not sure if it felt like a huge increase but our/CCL's site...

my 7800GTX came with a reg edit that allowed me to unlock Nvidia's built in overclocking utility, but that was many moons ago now and since then they have changed the control panel to a much more fussier page which is rubbish. Does anyone know if this can be done with the latest driver or have...

I'm trying to design a sub that will loop through a ListBox which contains http addresses and output those to a file with each on a new line. Does anyone (Reedy?) have any idea where i'm going wrong with the below? Thanks in advance. Private Sub DownloadButton_Click(ByVal sender As...

Hi Guys, Mr Microsoft has been badgering me to upgrade to the Office 2010 beta so I have finally taken the plunge and went for it. Generally it seems to work quite nicely, works quickly and looks nice. The only problem I have is the Google Calendar Sync program does not work with 2010 as...

Anyone used any? I've used bugzilla quite extensively, but it's a bit overkill for this.. Also used Flyspray.. But both are a bit bug specific Wanting something to log IT support issues on (via email would be quite good), as well as some sort of web interface. Free, and open source would...

Problem for someone to solve here. I'm trying to pull a date out from a MySQL database and store it in $date1. But MySQL stores dates in the format yyyy-mm-dd. What I want to do is put $date1 into a PHP date object, so I can pull out the day ($day), month ($month), and year ($year), and print it...

Just thought I'd give this article a mention as it may come in useful for some people (I found it because I was wondering if it was possible). Finally Firefox 3.6 can create gradient backgrounds without having to use images and screen res sniffers :). ...

nVidia have released new 196.75 drivers with new SLi profiles for the likes of Battlefield 2, 3D Vision profiles and speed boosts for many games. For example:

Having played with it for the best part of a day now all I have to ask to those who use it is: are you a masochist? Flat out refuses to allow me to connect my 4.5TB RAID array no matter how much I try to persuade it otherwise and MS aren't going to implement partition sizes over 2TB as they...
