Hello and welcome.
Also, for anyone who's bothered, here's a working link as there's a 15 post limiter on URL posting to prevent spammers from making one post accounts:

I know how lazy forumers can be :P
I use an AGP x8 nVidia GeForce 6600 with 256MB of graphics memory, DVI-D, SVGA and S-Video output and some other magical stuff I'll never really bother with and it wasn't that costly really.
It's not the best named brand ever (the card maker, not nV…
I can honestly say that I've never used that forum.
I came to this place through Felix who used to be an active member on another, non-web design related community after a few other forums I visited either died or became desolate waste lands.
At lea…
Actually, the whole "tag closing" thing is what I like and dislike about jEdit.
When doing quotes, it will put the closing quote mark in there for you, but if you try to put it in when it's already there, it usually just ignores you and sk…
Nope, OO.o is an Open Source project derived from Sun's Star Office, which means that it technically has no nationality as a project as people from all over the world have made it possible and even if it did have one true origin point, it would most…
Only affiliate with sites you trust and watch what info you give out.
For example, I'd be more likely to make use of Grid Project, but only because I've known Felix from other forums, so I trust him enough and am pretty sure that he won't try anythi…
I think there was a security bug in vB a while ago, but it should have been fixed shortly after I saw something about it (can't remember where).
Every piece of software breaks from time to time, and the developer can't always tell straight away as t…
Yes, I know what you mean.
The thing to know is the difference between an IDE and a programmers editor.
An IDE is usually something like Dreamweaver or RadRails, which is built with a lot of features such as debugging tools, compiler \ interpreter i…
Virtually every source code editor has syntax highlighting.
Many will allow you to preview sites in a browser, or they'll have an integrated browser for previewing.
Basically, most editors do that stuff or have plugin's to do it.
A graphics app for me would need:
Vector support (I use vectors more than rasters).
Layers (I don't think there's anyone who hates layers!).
Gradient transparency (gradient fills with transparency support).
Feathering (used to get realistic results …
Apparently though, GoDaddy has been slacking as of late as they seem to think that because they are the biggest company in their field, that they can do what they want.
Python uses NameCheap for his domains and the domains he's buying for his promo …
Macromedia Fireworks isn't likely to be killed off so quickly as it's a big name in vector editing while Photoshop is 90% raster editing.
While it's possible that Fireworks' vector tools will be integrated into Photoshop, it's not likely to be kille…
Bryce is a 3D modelling application, though it isn't quite up to the same standard as the widely used 3D Studio Max.
Poser is a tool for posing and editing character models and props, often from it's prefab library.
The editing in Poser is limited …
Never had anything like that happen to me.
I'm usually pretty cautious of special offers and I didn't start out using the net for developing, it was mainly to find information on things like games.

At the moment, I'm quite happy using jEdit with a few Ruby plugin's.
I can code XHTML, CSS and other stuff by hand easily and don't really like WYSIWYG editors... Especially Frontpage, which should carry a warning stating that you are damaging the i…
You'd want DDR2 RAM (the Mac Pro is currently the highest RAM consumer system I know of, and yes, it is available to the public... If you're loaded).
Also, for 5GB of GDDR3, you'd need 5 nVidia GeForce 7950 PCIe cards linked into it and SLI doesn't …
The Thermaltake case alone is in the hundreds and building a large file server (obviously using my lame looking but huge white tower case) would be a bit costly as well, so I can but dream... But if I had it, it'd own all.
Imagine, you could be down…
Apparently, it doesn't work for me :[
It just stays at the first screen (possibly because it's loading something?).
If it's a loading issue, I'd suggest using a pre-loader.
Also, I'm pretty much against using Flash unless it's compatible with Flash…

I don't know.
It'd be nice to invent something like the next MySpace, but I'm so much of a standards freak that I'd go insane if people didn't have working code on their pages.
If that ever happened though, I'd be selling it as soon as an of…
I wrote a small tutorial article for Tutorial Dash about this effect.
Since you're using floats, you need to tell the browser (in CSS) that the footer element should be under everything befure it.
You can easily do this by setting the clear attribut…
If I could, I probably wouldn't bother upgrading this one, I'd get the most powerful Intel Mac available and build some stupidly huge storage rig.
If I had to upgrade this one, I'd replace the main board, CPU (to an AMD 64bit model with more power)…
