Did you try an ssh -v (or -v -v) to see what's failing? Or do you know what's failing already?

I don't agree with that as a blanket statement. For instance, absolute positioning any elements using relative measurement units will address most problems related to positioning and font size. This applies to any styling that specifies spacing with units. The thrust of the accessibility...

Sorry; both references were one number off. #3 allows you to set absolute positions of child elements within the container div. #4 centers the container div horizontally. That position: relative is necessary, though, in order to contain absolutely-positioned elements. See here (with...

The app is called Remind. Anyone know of a Remind wrapper that talks to iCal or understands RSS?

Not if the directory /Library/WebServer/Documents/mynews contains the output of the PHP files, which was the assumption in that scenario. What I'm detailing is basically the same process that standard blog software, e.g., Blogger, Movable Type, uses to (a) output flat HTML files and (b) move...

This actually should be possible, provided 1. You wrap the open command in a shell script 2. httpd has execute permission for the shell script 3. httpd has read permission for the document, including the entire path to the document For instance, if you write a shell script at /tmp/open.sh that...

You'll want to look at PHP's Imagemagick API, or if that's not available the more standard GD-based API.

Assuming you can't enable PHP, and assuming that the remote server is a Unix/Linux variant, you should look into setting up an rsync scenario and automating that via cron. You could also set up two scripts, local and remote, to automate an archive/transfer/unarchive scenario. For instance, on...

Has anyone here integrated something more manual, such as GPG utilities, into your workflow? I used GPGMail back in 10 beta and 10.1 days, but haven't since then. I realized a while ago that I just don't care that much who sees my email, and I communicate everything confidential to my clients...

Have you considered that the hardware might be the problem? Or did you rule that out already?

Isn't that an Apple document? In any case, you should also think about how to recover a machine that's been stolen. A particularly clever application that addresses this is Undercover from Orbicule.

The official Photoshop product page is here. You can download the trial version of CS2, or the beta version of CS3, from here.

Re-read nixgeek's post in this thread re:configure, make, and make install. Re: using root, do you log in as root? You must have created another user when you first set up your machine. This is the user you should be using in the terminal. "sudo" is a command to do something as root, without...

This reply labeled itself with a big, orange "thumbs down" -- I have no idea how that happened, and can't seem to undo it. First tip, unrelated: When you're trying something you don't quite understand, don't be root. You might do something irreversible that you'll be sorry for later. If you...

Do you actually mean "redundant", as in duplicate? If there are two instances of processes that should only have one instance, e.g., launchd, that would be strange. But if you mean "redundant" in the sense that DeltaMac used, i.e., "processes that don't seem to be useful but are running...

You need to change the ownership of all files to your user. So if, for instance, your user name is "kinet1k", this is what you do: 1. Log in as root, or boot into single-user mode. 2. In a shell: % chown -R kinet1k ~kinet1k/Library That should do it. Then, as soon as you've fixed...

mspain77, read my last post. You can easily fix your site using this method. Right now you have several divs as the top-level elements on the page; the only real correction you need to make is to place these in a global container, as I did in the example I provided, and then position that...

Here's the basic method of centering the design space in a browser using CSS: 1. Have a global container div. 2. Make that div the width of the desired design space. 3. Set the div's position attribute to "relative". 4. Set the div's left and right margins to "auto". 5. Place everything...

See here: To restore backed-up files, insert a backup disc, choose File > "Back Up to Disc," and then click Restore. You might want to read through the more general help doc for context as well. There's always a chance of problems, of course, but I've migrated my iTunes library across...

Umm, try rewriting that question in English, as a grammatically complete sentence, and I'll give a shot at the answer. On the larger question of being a computer snob, it's worth pointing out that the technology associated with computers and networking has become sufficiently complex that no...
