Wow. A reply from the Queen herself. I rule!

Seriously, the apartment listings appear on screen kind of like classified ads, so tags like "Studio" or "2BR" is all I have room for. I know search...

I'm working on a website for a company that manages about 500 apartments.

On the home page, we have listings of all the apartments that are currently available for rent. I've been using the <abbr>...

I have a form which requires a handwritten signature.

So I created a PDF fill-in form for people to complete, print, and sign. The form is linked from a web page which has instructions to that...

I think I paid $70 or $80 on eBay. As for whether it's worth it to replace the mobo, that's hard to say. But I still use my 8200 every day...

I just found some info on rsyncrypto (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rsyncrypto), which apparently allows you to rsync encrypted files. The tradeoff is that the encryption is slightly weaker. This...

Okay, this makes a lot of sense to me. I guess the one wrinkle is that while the daily changes are on the order of 100-200 MB, the entire dataset right now is about 200GB. I know that rsync is...

I'm looking to develop a new strategy to provide both an on-site and off-site backup of my computer, which runs Windows XP.

The good news is I have shell access to a Solaris machine through my...

I was directed to this link which did the trick:

I'd like to know if there's a relatively easy way to make a bootable CD for SPARC platform.

Specifically, I want to wipe the hard drives on some servers. I've used the BCWipe...

I was able to find a software solution here:

A while back, I had to replace a motherboard on a Dell Inspiron 8200 that had been dropped. Here's the story (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread53965.html) if you're interested.

Anyway,...

I've been searching for a script to accomplish the following, but thus far have been unable to find something suitable.

I have all of my photos organized in folders, with the date and subject as...

Solved!

I followed the advice here http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/cmtips/ethernet.html#ethernet and turned off auto-negotiation of the connection speed. Works like a charm!

Okay, an update here. Two distinct chat sessions with Dell went nowhere. The first tech pushed the 3com driver at me, which Windows wouldn't use, of course. The second didn't offer much either, other...

Okay, I'm doing a reformat/clean install of XP Home on a Dell Inspiron 8100, service tag 6NZV111. This unit has the internal Actiontec 82559-based Ethernet Adapter and Modem Combo (MP100IM) that...

Just a follow-up here to let others know what I found, in case someone has a similar experience. In the end, it was both the motherboard and one of the DIMMs that were at fault. Everything's cooking...

I wouldn't worry about bachelor of arts vs. science. Most employers realize that one university will issue a BA and another will give a BSc for equivalent education.

I attended one university...

I'm seeking recommendations for a CMS for a new community/ social networking website.

The following technical criteria are desirable:

Open source (for customization and low cost).

That's okay; I can deal with replacing the motherboard. But I don't think I could deal with replacing the mobo and having it NOT solve the problem!

Well, this makes sense to me. I can now bite the bullet for the cost of a new motherboard with a reasonable idea that this is, in fact, the problem.

Thanks for the help!

Some more information:

Both memory modules are of the same type / brand / speed. They were both Dell-installed at manufacture.

Someone suggested the motherboard might have been "tweaked" (for...

Sorry for the long post, but I'm trying to be as complete as possible. I'm working on a friend's 8200 which suffered a drop. It was in a padded briefcase on an airline seat and got bumped to the deck...
