    Can anyone tell me what this filter is called?

    That's definetly a cutout filter, though I don't know if its the one that comes with PS or a third party app. Or they may have applied another filter afterwards. However, if you apply the cutout filter with eight levels, 0 edge simplicity, it will come pretty darn close to the second pic.

    What do you guys think about all

    MDXer, you make quite a few good points. Ultimately, it's up to the people to let the government know their concerns. I feel the level of political and corporate coruption in the US has reached an almost ridiculous level, and I fear our country will be gutted so that a few already rich CEO's...

    Managing a Help Desk (need some advice)

    When I was working for a help desk, night shift, I found the best thing to do was to develope a relationship with the people you are helping. Let them know they aren't bothering you, and you enjoy fixing their problems. We had people who were rock solid when it came to technical skills, and one...

    What do you guys think about all

    I actually find johnwm's attitude refreshing, if premature. We don't know how this will all turn out. I generally don't believe the naysayers who predict that we are headed towards a dystopian future where there will only be rich and poor, with no middle class. I'd also like to think that...

    Variable placement

    You would be assuming incorrectly. :) All JavaScript code goes in the <head> of the HTML document, between <script> tags. Here's a fairly good tutorial on this subject: http://www.cybertechhelp.com/html/tutorials/tutorial.php/id/48

    how to set the table inside div scrolled to bottom

    Are you saying you want the element to always be scrolled to the bottom when the page loads? If so, you can use javascript to scroll the element: http://www.dyn-web.com/dhtml/lyr-scroll.html Or, you might be able to use the element's clip property: http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_clip.asp

    Yet another PDF in HTML question

    What do you mean by publishing PDF's inside HTML? The reason I ask is because most web browsers will have a plug-in for viewing pdf's, and a simple hyper-link to the file is all that is needed for a user to open the file. Or are you trying to do something different?

    What do you guys think about all

    ^ HP is a world class example of why outsourcing is a bad thing. If HP is doing it, it must be a bad thing. :) My bitterness against HP originated long before they ever dreamed of purchasing Compaq. Back in 1996 I purchased my first, and only HP DeskJet printer for nearly $250 - which was a...

    Why won't my JavaScript work in Netscape - it's fine in IE

    I hate to say this, but I would consider totally scrapping the two JavaScript functions you have, as they aren't really necessary, and only make the code more confusing for users such as myself. The code Pixelchik gave would work just fine. For example, I changed one of your links to: <a...

    Variable placement

    With JavaScript, like Java you don't need to initialize the variable at all. The variable type conforms to whatever you happen to put into it. The line: var theVariable declares the variable. That's all you'll need to do.

    Variable placement

    This can easily be done through parameter passing using the page's URL, and little bit of JavaScript. First, here's a good tutorial: http://www.cybertechhelp.com/html/tutorials/tutorial.php/id/48 Or you can find dozens of other tutorials by googling &quot;parameter passing URL tutorial&quot...

    What do you guys think about all

    To dwarfthrower - where are you working? I used to live in South Korea. I suppose I could always return. :) What bothers me about the whole &quot;get competitive or get out&quot; attitude is, the American educational system doesn't prepare us for being competitive and marketable in today's...

    How/where do you start within the IT profession?

    Well said, MDXer! Of course, showing initiative can always backfire on you, so be wary of this. I was working for a large mutual funds company on the night shift for tech support. I was lucky to take 7 calls a night, so as you can imagine I spent several hours surfing the net, talking on the...

    What do you guys think about all

    I'd like to think that not all IT jobs are going overseas. I'm talking to one of my professors on this very subject tomorrow. I could always move to India, I guess.

    ^ That's a great site. Thank you for providing the link. Now if only it wasn't so lime green. :) Hard on the eyes!

    What's the difference between Flash and Shockwave?

    If I'm not mistaken, Flash started out as a plug-in called FutureSplash. Shockwave/Director were different applications. Macromedia purchased FutureSplash, and Flash was born out of that. Both Flash & Shockwave are vector-based animation packages, however Flash is designed primarily for use on...

    More stuff on Spam

    I'd say the biggest issue with SPAM, and the thing that negates its protection under the First Amendment is the deceptive advertising. When you send me an email with the subject &quot;Enlarge your #@$% now!&quot; from user &quot;Gary's Novelty Items&quot;, that may be perfectly legal. However...
