    Prevent ps/2 mouse from arousing computer?

    Nope, not talking about screen saver :) The problem is that no power management tab exists under mouse. Perhaps the one under keyboard controls both mouse and keyboard? In which case darn. Thanks anyway.

    Prevent ps/2 mouse from arousing computer?

    Frustratingly, there doesn't seem to be an option anywhere to prevent the mouse from bringing the machine out of standby. For example, under keyboard in control panel I can find a power management tab with the option, but not for the mouse. I'm tired of having to tiptoe by the machine to keep it...

    Perl CGI.pm: how to suppress content-type header for 304 Not Modified"

    Hmm. Maybe so, but you'd think if Apache was behaving that "intelligently," then it would see the 304 status and know that the Content-type header isn't necessary. Especially since Apache doesn't send Content-type when returning a 304 for a static file, since the response contains no content.

    Perl CGI.pm: how to suppress content-type header for 304 Not Modified"

    Yeah, I can set it to whatever I want, but I'd like to suppress it.

    Perl CGI.pm: how to suppress content-type header for 304 Not Modified"

    I'm implementing an XML feed in Perl/Apache. If I send a "304 Not Modified" header to the client, CGI.pm's header() function wants to put a Content-Type header in there. If I don't specify one, it sends text/html. If I specify an empty one, it inserts text/plain. I want to leave it out...

    Is it possible to find out whether a given domain is commonly blacklisted by corporate web proxies?

    Perfect. Thanks.

    Session data

    PHP serializes $_SESSION data between requests. What I want to know is whether this data can be acted on in any other way than through a page request. The example scenario I have in mind is when a user lets his session time out, is there a way to auto-generate an email to him containing the...

    Saxon cannot resolve DTD

    Yep, I can reach the DTD with my browser. What I've determined so far is: 1) Since java doesn't know that it's supposed to use a proxy, forcing it to use a proxy with a special java -D option fixes the immediate problem, however 2) A parser shouldn't be using the SYSTEM id to ping the w3.org...

    Saxon cannot resolve DTD

    Running Saxon to do a transform fails when an input document contains a DOCTYPE whose system ID references a DTD on the www.w3.org site. Deleting the DOCTYPES from all the documents isn't an option. I'm on the network, but behind a proxy. Any suggestions? Error java.net.UnknownHostException...

    dos directory pathing

    I didn't know COMMAND and CMD were different, but using CMD my problems are solved. Cool registry hack too. Thanks, all.

    dos directory pathing

    In DOS, if you have a deeply nested <pathname> such as: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\websites\htdocs\mysubdirectory\galleries\imgs\thumbsized How do you get to that folder? cd <pathname> fails, as well as cd "<pathname>". Manually cding to everything using the cd foobar~1...

    Removing IE Address Bar

    I don't think this is accomplished through HTML or scripting. Especially for the purpose you describe. Try checking forum608 'Browser issues for IT professionals'.

    math challenge

    Based on further research I've learned this resolves to a cubic equation that can be solved with an algorithm known as the cubic formula, which produces multiple roots (solutions for x that satisfy the equation). java.awt.geom.CubicCurve2D has a static method dedicated to solving these types of...

    The programming langauge of the future ?

    My cultural anthropology prof always said that labor specializes and diversifies when technology increases, so I think we'll find ourselves in an ever more complex IT landscape with more languages and niche skillsets than ever.

    Odd XHTML Validation Errors

    It may be erroring because you're using XHTML syntax but declaring it as HTML in the doctype. Have you tried switching the doctype to XHTML or changing your <meta/> tags to <meta>?

    math challenge

    Thanks, all. I'll have to read up on what a singularity is, I'm picturing a supermassive black hole sucking all the numbers into an alternate dimension. The equation is actually an average between a negative inverse proportion and a square root, hence the divide by two part. Anyway I might try...

    math challenge

    I've run into a programming challenge that involves number crunching and I'm stumped on an equation. Here's what I have that works so far: double y = (Math.sqrt(x) - 1/x) / 2; It basically takes x as a given and computes y resulting in a particuar 2D curve. Where I'm stumped is I want to take...

    Fonts in CSS

    Nevertheless, color is the correct one. There must be something funny going on with your code that isn't apparent from your example. http://www.drpeterjones.com/ News and views of some obscure guy
