I can't think of anything in the world with a lower level of necessity than this. We could replace all of them with machines. I know where we can get some used garbage trucks.

Some of our statutes are as amusing as some of our statues. I collect these: - In Indiana, it is illegal to get a fish drunk. - In Michigan, you are not allowed to possess a motorcycle helmet unless you own a motorcycle. - In Boston MA, it is illegal …

I usually take about a minute and a half if I hurry. But usually I don't hurry, because you can break your cube (permanently) if you do. I use a method that puts the cube together in the following order: Top edges Top corners Equator edges Bottom corners Bottom edges …

How do you find out the correct answers? If you don't think of it, they don't tell you.

The problem is that the global warming advocates haven't proved anything, especially about whether man caused it. It';s the environmentalist religion's mantra that man causes all environmental problems. These advocates (especially Al Gore) used bad science and faulty argument modes(mostly the fallacy of affirming the consequent). Using their faulty logic, …

If you want the code to wait until a box is checked, you have to use a loop.

The concept of no time does not mean there is no communication. Instead, there is no such thing as a sequence of events. Everything is simultaneous (including all of earth's history). The time we experience on earth is a space dimension as seen from heaven. The big flash (it didn't …

In order to get it to auto-adjust to browser window size, all of the elements of the page must be able to change size. Alternately, you can force the browser to use a horizontal scrollbar if stuff doesn't fit.

You need an id on the object you want to make shimmer. Also. most browsers will not update the screen until the script either ends or pauses execution (as in an alert statement). You may need to recursively call your function with setInterval

Your title tags are missing, for one thing. They are required. You have < characters and unencoded quote marks in your JavaScript. This confuses the rendering. You need to remove those characters from the JavaScript, or use an external JavaScript file, to prevent this.

Does the CSS contain the font-size attribute 'larger'? If so, each time it is encountered, it makes the font larger, relative to the lastr time it was encountered.

There are two problems here: 1. If you could find a way to do that, someone with malicious intent could destroy the school's files. 2. Game-playing is usually prohibited on all academic systems, as it is a waste of computing resources and taxpayer dollars.

The scrollbar does not belong to you (as a web programmer). It belongs to the owner of the computer that is doing the browsing. The only standard way to change its color is in the Display menu in Control Panel. This must be done on the user's computer, not in …

This is a multimedia forum, not a Java forum. What do you need to know about Corel Draw. I am an expert. You can PM me, but bear in mind that my job is intense at times, and lets me log in only about once a week.

You are using a nonstandard IE extension to JavaScript. The correct name for the style is "fontWeight", not "font".

Some strong guy broke into a store here last week, ripped the machine off the bolts holding it down, picked it up, and carried it outside to his truck. The store security video got it all.

Now you know the secret. Since the Hebrew digits are the first 10 letters of the alphabet, their w is also a 6. So "www" = "666". So naturally, evil adds the "www". :icon_mrgreen:
