This is a function of the angle between the LCD screen and your eye. You will notice changes in these effects as you move your head around.

It is a property of the liquid crystals themselves. LC watches, LC thermometers, and Mood Rings also change color and intensity with the viewing angle.

It works best if your eyes are along a line perpendicular to the center of the screen. Also, the screen becomes more uniform with an increase of the distance to your eyes.

There is a delay. They don't follow the mouse anymore, and there's a delay when hovering over the link.

I can move the mouse up and down the list without the mouse activating every single link, following me.

This is not accessible to people with mild dyslexia. It destroys the ability to use the mouse pointer to keep your place.

The delay is about a quarter of a second - too short. 5 seconds is more appropriate. Two minutes is my preferred choice.

I am now seeing some of the same problems I saw last summer again, now that you removed the ability to defeat the JS parts of the site:

- The scroll arrows don't auto-repeat when you hold the mouse button down. You have to click the mouse repeatedly to scroll.

- The insertion point disappears from the quick reply box again.

- The ads are using 100 percent of the CPU time again.

- Occasionally I don't get the new page back after posting. It times out.

When you use QuickReply, some fancy AJAX is used so the entire page doesn't need to refresh after hitting submit.

But when this happens to me, the "browser waiting" spinner keeps spinning. Then it finally times out with a message stating that the server didn't respond. When I try again, I have two posts.

It doesn't happen very often.

I never have to check for browser, and my pages work. The tricks are:

1. Validate with the W3C validator.

2. Don't use proprietary extensions to browsers.

3. Don't put defined sizes (width and height) and surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) in the same tag or style. Nest two block-type tags for this.

4. Don't put block tags inside inline tags.

5. Note that some browsers put all of the surrounding styles below p, h#, and hr tags. Put these on div tags surrounding them.

6. Define the positions of objects inside table cells.

7. Don't put div tags inside li tags.

8. Don't put img tags inside just the body tag.

If the script keeps running (e.g. if there is a loop we can't see, or another script), the display won't change. IE waits until the script ends to update the screen.

I have done some more research on this:

1. Only some brands do it, and on only their newer computers. Maybe that's why I haven't seen it.

2. The operating system tells the CPU to speed up and slow down (two speeds). The CPU can't do that on its own.

3. At the higher speed setting, the CPU gets hotter (which DOES make sense).

4. I thought such speed-control systems had been abandoned years ago. They caused a lot of trouble back in the 1970s, because people were overspeeding their hardware to gain performance.

So a CPU does not normally get hotter as it is used more, unless the operating system tells it to change clock speeds. This is not an inherent property of the CPU, but of the software controlling it.

5. Take the speed-changing part out of the software (or disable it with a setting) and the CPU will always produce the same amount of heat, no matter how busy it is.

6. Older software designed to control scientific instrumentation can't be used on computers that change speed.

umm...can someone PLEASE explain to me how to do it? i dont care how hard it is...im training to be a computer specialist, and i have people asking me to do it, i only have 2 days left...

if its hardware, what kind of hardware?

The trick is to subtract the two stereo channel signals from each other in amounts that null out the vocal..

- The easiest way is to record the surround output of a Dolby Surround decoder without Pro Logic. Adjust the balance control on the preamp to null out the vocal.

- With an audio mixer, you need a pair of balanced inputs, one for each channel. Wire the right channel with the phase reversed. Then play with levels and EQ.

how do i remove vocals using MIDI?

Since the human voice is not a MIDI sounder, you cant. Midi controls electronic musical instruments that can be instructed to play or shut up.

It's easy if you have access to the original 16 or 24-track studio recording. All you have to do is turn down the vocal tracks and make a new mix of the instrumental tracks. Of …

HTML has no transparency function.

Transparency on the Internet is achieved with add-on plugin software. Thus, no possible translation into HTML of a PowerPoint presentation with transparency features can exist, since PP doesn't know how to use such software.

I would suggest modifying the contrast and lightness of a copy of the image to achieve that result.

Remember that some people have a lot of trouble reading text that is on top of an image.

There must be something really wrong with this machine.
If you want to select consecutive files, you click the first, then the last while holding the Shift key.. For non-consecutive files, use the control key.
I suspect further study of the Windows file system would benefit you (As it would many people).

I used the icons to rapidly find the nonconsecutive files I wanted to move. It saved me a lot of time. Now I have to read the extensions of the files, or concentrate on the tiny icons inside the paper sheet images to do that.

Are you saying that this is not a change that happened to everyone?

Is there maybe a setting that causes this, maybe in IE? Microsoft is notorious for changing settings.

I'm not complaining that the ad is there, but that it was written to always be on top.

I support advertising, as long as the ad programmer doesn't use tricks that make the ad cause problems with the website.

I consider an ad to be greedy only if one or more of the following are true:

- It does things to keep the user from leaving the page, using the back button, or scrolling away from the ad.

- It uses up 100% CPU time, preventing navigation or scrolling, or hiding the insertion point.

- It won't let a dropdown menu cover it.

- It expands to cover controls.

- The ad company oversubscribes its service, causing page loading delays.

- It has animations that are distracting and last more than a few seconds.

- Moving the mouse over the ad starts something.

- The ad is a lie.

One problem is that IE and FF render surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) differently with respect to defined sizes (width, height). FF puts the surrounding styles outside the defined sizes. IE crams them inside.

The trick is to nest two tags, one with surrounding styles, and one with defined sizes.

MidiMagic 579 Nearly a Senior Poster

A is not a block tag. It can't take margin, border, or padding attributes. Stick it inside a div tag, and apply those attributes to the div.

MidiMagic 579 Nearly a Senior Poster

Why don't you just use the table tags? They are not deprecated.

What the W3C wants you to do is to stop using tables to do the jobs of margins, borders, and padding.

MidiMagic 579 Nearly a Senior Poster

It's because FF and other browsers obey the W3C definitions. IE is the maverick that refuses to obey the standards.

There are some places where IE differs from other browsers:

1. Order of nesting of defined sizes (width and height) and surrounding styles (margin, border, padding). The standard (and FF) puts the surrounding styles OUTSIDE the defined sizes. But IE crams them INSIDE instead.

The trick is to put the defined sizes in different tags than those containing the surrounding styles. Then YOU can control the nesting order by the order you nest the tags.

2. Default styles are different in IE than in other browsers:

- Table contents default to the top of the cell in IE, to the center of the cell in FF.

- IE and FF default to different margins around some tags.

3. IE has some rendering quirks:

- IE does not correctly render ul/ol/li tags inside div tags.

- IE puts both the top and bottom borders below any hr line.

- IE renders each font one pixel wider than other browsers.

There are several possibilities:

1. If you changed servers, the different servers might have different trunk bitrates, and/or different levels of server traffic.

To test for traffic loading problems, download your site late at night, and see if it is faster.

2. Are you waiting for a stupid ad to load? Low cost servers pay for the difference by putting an ad on the page. Many ad servers, especially doubleclick,net, oversubscribe their services. This causes delays while the browser waits for the ad server to finally send the ad.

If the ad server is down, you have to wait until the browser times out on the ad. Ad servers also work faster at low-traffic times, except when they are doing daily backups.

3. Have you also change Internet Service Providers (ISP)? This can also affect your speed, if the ISP is overloaded.

4. Is there something in the new page that triggers a virus scan, a firewall screening, or a manual permission request to a sysop?

5. Is there some kind of file on the new page that has low priority on the server?

6. Is there some kind of file that requires a special download to function?

I see you have size styles (width, height) and surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) in the same classes and tags.

If you want cross-browser compatibility, do not do this. Make separate nested tags for each kind.

FF puts the surrounding styles OUTSIDE the defined sizes. IE crams them INSIDE.

MidiMagic 579 Nearly a Senior Poster

I found it quickly.

NEVER put size styles (width, height) and surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) in the same tag, class, or id.

Firefox follows the w3c definitions, and puts the surrounding styles OUTSIDE the defined sizes.

IE does it wrong, and crams the surrounding styles INSIDE the defined sizes.

To use both on the same item, nest two tags, one with the size, and one with the surrounding styles. This way, YOU control what order they occur in.

I got it, but I couldn't get it with the Windows sound recorder.

To get it in time for my presentation, I did the quickest thing I could think of: I hooked a stand-alone CD recorder to the audio output of the PC and recorded the meeting on that. Then I put the CD in the CD-ROM drive and ripped it.

Today I played around, and found that the capability of recording from the FLV player is present in my Magix Audio Studio. But it took a good hour of going through the documentation to find the settings to do it.

My problem was not a lack of basic knowledge of how to make a recording, but finding out where they hid the settings to do it.

WoW ! I find it hard to believe you cant figure out you own problem of getting the audio from the .flv file you have ,not picking on you, but really, if you know all this you should be able to recored the music from the video

Today I solved the problem (which was a matter of finding a way to get the output of the video player to go into the sound recorder). It turned out to be that the software I was trying to use had protection in it to keep people from stealing audio from a music video. I used other software I already had, but didn't know had the ability.

The reason I wanted a quick answer was that I needed to do a presentation on wednesday, and didn't have time to be poking around for the solution. I got the sound for the presentation the quickest way I could think of: I hooked a CD recorder to the sound output, recorded the meeting on the CD, and then read the soundtrack into the computer with the CD-ROM drive.

Also, my experience with vocal removers is not from software, but from hardware ones used in music studios. I built one several years ago.

I wasn't trying to be rude. Sometime text looks ruder than it is. But the suggestions I am getting won't replace the time lost by this change. Instead, they will consume MORE time, making me lose more production time in a day.

I know that (and it's the control key, not the shift key - i need some files without other files in between). But it is time consuming, compared to what I was doing before.

The problem is that this effect took a very quick task and turned it into a time-consuming task. Thus, I am not getting as much revising done in a day as I used to.

Fix= backup and format and reload ,or figure out what program/windows update YOU, installed that caused the change.
you problem is caused by something you done ,you may not have realized the final outcome .actually post #10's attachment shows 3 or 4 different icons ,no i'm not sure how you are going to fix this but its something like when you clear you Favorites in IE and lose all the icones from that web page to a default .

The only thing that happened in that timeframe is that Microsoft downloaded a security upgrade for IE the day before this happened.

Two questions:

It can be done, but it is not so magical. The trick is to remove everything with the same relative pan position as the vocal's pan position in the stereo program. It has the following drawbacks:

Everything else (often including the kick drum and the snare) at the same pan position is also removed.

The resulting recording is mono.

Parts panned near the vocal will be quieter than parts panned far away from the vocal.

With the panning techniques normally used by recording studios, you will get mostly the harmony instruments and backup vocals, with the lead parts diminished or absent.

There is no magical way to separate and remove parts from a mixed recording, no matter what they show "experts" do on TV crime shows. The only way to separate parts is to have the original studio multitrack recording.

Your best bet is to either buy karaoke versions of the songs, or record your own versions using MIDI, or real musicians with instruments.

I need list view to simultaneously select which files to move as a group to the development folders. Tiles view shows way too few files to be useful.

The folder is a copy of a website, used for testing addressing and compatibility. There is no opportunity to use subfolders without making the pages unable to find each other

And I certainly can not simultaneously select multiple files to move to the development area if they are in different folders.

Some of the reasons I keep files where they are have to do with limitations of the web server used:

- subfolders are not allowed on the real website. Each user is allowed one folder.

- The real website OS requires DOS-compatible 8+3 filenames.

Stop telling me to change my file usage, and FIND HOW TO FIX THE ICONS!

Everything was fine, until someone without a brain got the stupid idea of putting a "THIS IS A DOCUMENT" frame around every icon that is in the form of a document, and shrinking the original icons to 1/4 the size to put inside the useless frames. And then to enforce their lack of brains, they made it impossible to change the icons.

This sounds like the kind of change some security experts would ask Microsift for, so they can spot non-document files in document folders easily. But it cuts way down on user productivity.

This is the dye compatibility bug, and has plagued CD-R and DVD-R users for years.

The problem is that patents and copyrights have prevented standardization of both drive design and disc design. Due to proprietary dye formulations and proprietary drive LASER frequencies, certain kinds of discs will not work in certain kinds of players or recorders.

In addition, there are two different kinds of DVD drives. One is DVD-R, and the other is DVD+R. These are also not compatible with each other, although there are now drives that can take both.

Why can't we have a DIN to require standards for things, like the Germans had?
