I was trying to install Vista onto a spare partition yesterday, and the installer refused to use the partition. I deleted it, formatted it, tried again, no go. Deleted it, made it bigger, repeat, no go. I was using the 3rd partition on the drive (still a primary though) but …

Is there a way to report bad blog posts? It's currently a very rare occurrence, but I couldn't find one easily (hence my recent thread about a spam blog).

Just wondering if any of you do some sort of artsy or crafty stuff in your free time. I know some of you never leave the computer (jbennet, I'm talking to you :P) so you might not have much to say, but I figured it might make for a fun …

The new (? I never noticed them before...) icons on the [url=http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/]blogs page[/url] are kinda, well, obscure. Or at least, most of them seem to be, especially the ones for software and web development. Not that I use them, but they seemed a little out of place without a clearly …

I'm working on a website that's basically a forum software, but with a different arrangement. There are only 3 levels of posts (questions, solutions, and comments), and for the comments I want to be able to have the user highlight part of a solution to comment on. To do that, …

Reading through the blogs today, I read two distinct entries that struck me as odd. There were not tech-related, and furthermore it was the first activity by either member on Daniweb. Also, they both tended to focus on some type of product and had a link to it. My guess …

Just wondering what y'alls read in your free time. Post what you've got and a brief description of it :) I subscribe to Worse Than Failure (aka Daily WTF) which has a bunch of [hilarious] programming and development oddities, and a few Microsoft blogs.

Figured we ought to split this out of the VT shooting thread. Here's some posts that have already been made (and if a mod can move others, that'd be great). Hopefully I got them all in the right order... (and hopefully the thread isn't a dupe... but I couldn't remember …

Presumably anyone who monitors Digg or Slashdot will already know, but the cryptographic key for AACS (the standard used in HD-DVD and BluRay) has been leaked and is spreading like a virus. What do you think the repercussions will be? Is it good that the key leaked?

Since all our arguments are going everywhere and taking over everything, I propose that we keep our griping, whining, complaining, and whatever else rep related to this thread. And then we can continue hijacking everything else in our normal way... And now all the rep I've actually deserved (good and …

After looking at the thread on personality defects, I thought it might be interesting to see what personality types y'all have. [URL="http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp"]Here[/URL] is a relatively short version of the test. And some of you may already know your type. I'm INTJ

A project I'm working on has this awful problem wherein the JFrame refuses to resize in Linux. I've tried the [inlinecode]setResizable(true)[/inlinecode] method, both in the constructor and outside of it, but no go. It works fine on Windows. And I'm using Java 1.6 if that makes any difference. Am I …

Just kinda wondering what distros people have run. I LOLed in the Choosing a Distro forum when people said Gentoo was the hardest distro, so I was wondering what everyone's background is. I've had Gentoo on my laptop since April (exclusively since June) and it's the system I use most …
