  • Can we try a Crowdsourcing web design project on CSS-Tricks?

    @ChristopherBurton and @ozee, assuming you didn't read my comment, I was giving an option to you guys so you could have a _real_ crowdsourced project. As it stands now, it's an amateur ring with a professional sponsor, not really a "c…

  • Can we try a Crowdsourcing web design project on CSS-Tricks?

    Sorry, I would love to help, but between school and private contracts, I'd love to use the little bit of free time for the little bit of a social life I can afford ;) I wish luck to you guys anyways! Hope the site comes out as great as I think…

  • Can we try a Crowdsourcing web design project on CSS-Tricks?

    I'd like to throw in my two cents to how this is organized. Chris Coyier, I know you're wanting to limit this to possibly ten people, which is a good idea if you want to avoid the Too-Many-Cooks problem, but I want to offer you another ide…

  • Dreamweaver, is it worth it?

    I suggest using something like Eclipse or Aptana if you need code completion. I use Sublime Text because it just rocks my socks off. "tafkanator" said:You may want to see what m$ offers too. Good, found the first person to test my foe li…

  • Dreamweaver, is it worth it?

    I learned how to use Dreamweaver in school. I haven't used it since, so I would say: No, it would probably be a waste of money unless you REALLY need some features it has.

  • The meaning of domain registrar?

    Kinda depends, but the ICANN basically states that Verisign has complete control over all .com domain names. If Verisign decides you are unworthy of a domain name, they can revoke it. And, of course, not using the correct information when registerin…

    He just uses a simple: * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } Very simple.

  • Internet Explorer check with Apple

    I would recommend you just buy a cheap version of 7. The netbook idea is great, but you already have a Windows capable computer with a great screen and all the hardware. Pair that with something like VirtualBox, which is free, you can view your site…

  • iStockPhoto Blunder

    That made me *facepalm*. I would also pursue them like a hawk. I have no tolerance for anybody who steals stock photos (especially MY stock photos, which this isn't, just saying).

  • IE6 support

    I'll pull mine straight from an Ubuntu Forums post I made some time ago: As for the "satisfy the customers" comment. I charge extra for IE. "Oh, you have horrible business" I have incredible business, in fact, I'm book…

  • adobe

    You need to fully uninstall it by using the http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html tool. After that, reinstall CS4.

  • More traffic!

    First off, there's not enough textual content. Secondly, "I'm a retard" isn't a very good "About Me" page, just saying.

  • scripting language

    None, but I still think Ruby will be the most widely used scripting language for a while (excluding PHP, since PHP was intended only for web development).

  • Does anybody use Themeforest?

    Yes, after purchase you have the ability to use the photos for anything except redistributing them. Also, I use Themeforest for inspiration. Never bought anything off of it.

  • Branding, Similarities, and What to do?

    The good borrow, the great steal. Trust me when I say it doesn't matter if you base your logo off of another logo. If they had a good design, roll with it. Just try not to come too close to somebody within the same industry, and there are laws …

  • ClamXav Mac OS X Infection Names?

    @OP ClamXav isn't exactly the best AV on the market. @Legal issue It's legal to buy, iffy to sell if you've already used it.

  • Favorite text editor

    Lately, I've been completely using Ruby and Yaml, so I would have to say RubyMine. I use HAML and SASS for the HTML/CSS (respectively), RJS for Javascript (does what I need) and rails is my main framework of choice. RubyMine is the best IDE I&#…

  • Updating RSS-like Feed

    The feed is autogenerated by wordpress. On an RSS request, the server is building an XML document to serve to the client. Nothing special. All it's doing is iterating over the entry table, and using the variables in an XML template.

    That was the ISO downloader MS uses to lessen the stress on their servers. If you contact their support, they can give you a hardlink to an iso file.

    If it didn't work, you'd get an error message. If the server did not provide you with a public key, or the CA denies the identity, your browser will alert you. You'd also get errors from the server if the public key-encrypted content …
