    Spacing paras/list items less crudely

    For spacing between paragraphs, use: p { margin-bottom:8px; } or ems, or percentages, or whatever your heart desires. Which units to use is a whole 'nother issue. You might need to play around with padding-bottom as well. Paragraphs (and other block-level elements) have default...

    CSS and Print Margins

    Yep, mdnky is right -- you can't change or override the user's printer-specific settings with print style sheets. All you can do there is take consolation in the knowledge that for any user who has wide gaping margins set as the default for their printer, then that's how everything they print...

    CSS and Print Margins

    Yep, you just use a print-specific style sheet in addition to your regular screen style sheet. Here's your tags: <link href="/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"> <link href="/style-Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print"> In the "print" style...

    Editing the /etc/hostconfig file

    You edit the file using the instructions I gave above without booting into single user mode. Perhaps I should have made that more clear.

    Editing the /etc/hostconfig file

    You can edit it using Terminal. Open terminal, type "cd /etc" (without the quotes), then type "sudo pico hostconfig" (without the quotes). Make your edits and hit control-x, type "y" when it asks you to save changes, and hit return when it asks for the filename (it'll have "hostconfig"...

    Password management on the Mac

    A hyphen would probably be even more effective if you put it in the wrong place: yello-wbox, for example, or federa-lexpress. Then you have no contiguous letters forming actual dictionary words. One suggestion I've seen that makes a lot of sense is to pick a phrase or quotation or something...

    help with tables

    Yeah, don't we wish it were an ideal world, and that all browsers were fully standards compliant! Nevertheless, if he explicitly sets borders, cellspacing and cellpadding to 0, it should work in virtually all browsers. He also needs to explicitly set the containing td for the nested table to...

    help with tables

    They'll integrate seamlessly just fine if he sets cellspacing and borders to 0 on both tables. If he needs some margins around the content, he can use css to apply padding to the content td, or wrap the content in a div and apply a margin to that.

    help with tables

    Try a nested table for the logo/content area, with the containing td set to valign top: <table width="625" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="625" colspan="2" valign="top"> <table width="625" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr>...

    Folder Accidently Overwritten... Can I recover it?

    Whatever you do, STOP using your computer immediately. The more you use it between now and whenever you start trying to use a utility to recover your files, the more likely it is that they will be overwritten. I've heard of people finding lost files in a hidden tmp directory at the root of...

    Blocking un-userfriendly mac automations

    Also open Image Capture (in /Applications) and in its preferences tell it what you want the system to do when you plug in your camera: You can tell it to open any specific application you want, or "do nothing."

    Computer Names

    A few computers back (I think it was a beige G3) I started with "Fred*." The G4 tower is SuperFred*. The PowerBook was PortaFred*. My TiBook, with its 1Ghz processor and a gig of Ram, is, of course, GigaFred*. The XServe box we just installed at the office is TeraFred*. All my...
