How to set up an Apache server on my own machine?
"I'm new to web hosting but not web design, etc, and could use a bit of help. I am currently building a server on my own and have a computer set up to be a server for a small project. I've done my research and am using Apache 2.2.x on Windows XP SP3 and already own a domain name."

iPhone: Landscape Menu, Portrait Content
"I was thinking of doing a version of a site for an iPhone that makes use of the onorientationchange event to switch between content and menu screens. When the phone is held in portrait mode, it will display site content and only site content. If the iPhone is turned either clockwise or counter-clockwise (to account for left and right handed people) then the content will hide and the menu will show."

Antivirus Software Has Been #1 at Download.com for Years
"Today I realized that the number one most downloaded software on download.com has been some form of antivirus software for at least 6 years that I can remember off the top of my head. Antivirus downloads apparently account for somewhere around 150 million downloads every year from download.com alone. And that's just for the popular ones. Over the last 6 years that's nearly a billion downloads for antivirus software. If antivirus software was doing what it is intended to do, shouldn't that number be going down by now, rather than staying constant for the better part of a decade ?"

Hackers Sending Microsoft Their Virus Code Accidentally
"Apparently there's a lot of hackers out there who aren't as bright as they'd like to believe. Microsoft has enough instances of virus writers sending their virus code along with their crash reports right to Microsoft when they crash their own systems, that one of their senior software architects, Rocky Heckman, thought it was worth mentioning at a recent conference."

What is your Favorite Documentation Site?
"For me it's a tie between the documentation sites at php.net and apache.org; Both sites provide documentation in what I would call a sort of dictionary format which is easy to look up individual items on, and is able to be well indexed by search engines."

Chip Maker Intel to Aquire Security Firm McAfee
"I'm not sure who will be happier and about what, the Intel developers about having security experts around, or the McAfee developers about having a say in the chip making process. Through buying McAfee, a leading security technology firm, Intel intends to build security features into its microprocessors which go into products such as laptops and phones."

Google / Verizon Two Tiered Net, What's the Bottom Line ?
"If Google and Verizon get their way and have a two-tiered Internet setup, what's a realistic bottom line I can expect as someone who just operates a bunch of small websites on shared hosting, a VPS host, or a basic dedicated server ? What's the worst possible case I could be looking at if I'm not on the top tier, an extra fraction of a second for every page load, a whole second, multiple seconds ? What if I want to be on the top tier, how much could that possibly raise the cost of my hosting bill each month, for say, a VPS package, $1 per month, $5, could it double the cost of my hosting every month ? I see a lot of concern from people about this two-tiered Internet stuff, there's even people protesting outside the Googleplex last I heard. What I haven't seen though, is what it means for the average hobbyist or part time webiste owner. If the worst case scenario is that a shared hosting bill goes up by $5 a month, I don't see what the big deal is."

Storage solution for multiple hard drives
"So I have a bunch of hard drives laying around that contain my various incremental backups. They're all internal drives that I just plug into a dock and run backups to, but I have about 5 of them, and right now they're just sitting in a stack on my bookcase. Does anyone have a good idea for a solution to organizing these? Something like a cage that can sit on the bookshelf, or a briefcase type thing with slots in it for the drives?"

Be creative!"

Google Chrome Canary Builds available.
"(*note* - Compatible with XP, Vista, and Windows 7: Installed and ran on XP Pro just fine. Would not run on Windows 7 Pro) Google Chrome's team added a new releases channel for early adopters and developers: Canary builds. Unlike the beta channel and the dev channel, Canary builds can be installed without overwriting a regular Chrome build. That means you can install both a Canary build and a regular build that could be on the stable, beta or dev channel."

Computer Fans
"The first thing I want to know, is why are CPU fans designed to blow air down on to the heat sink? I just flipped my fan around so that it sucks air up off of the heat sink while watching my BIOS PC Health screen and not only did my fan RPMs go from ~4000 to ~4800, my CPU temp dropped ~10 degrees Celsius. The second thing I want to know is, when is there going to be a cost effective version of the Dyson Air Multiplier fans that I can use in my PC? I'm assuming that design is patented?"

.COM and .NET Registry Fees Going Up Next Week
"Last Year (Dec 17th, 2009) Verisign announced a rate increase for July 1st, 2010 on .COM and .NET domain names of 7% ($0.48) and 10% ($0.23) respectively. Since Verisign is the company your registrar deals with, the rate increase is undoubtedly going to be passed on to you. (Godaddy already sent me an email telling me this) If you have more than a handful of .COM or .NET domain names, you might want to look into renewing/extending your registrations before the end of this week."

Jun 20th, 2010 — Started by Bigwebmaster in Programming / Scripting / Coding ForumFeatured Tutorial: Multi-Column Layout Using CSS Float
For this tutorial, we're targeting a layout that has three columns of content with spaces at the top and bottom for a header and footer. The page will be a fixed width and will also be centered in the browser's display area (the figure to your left).
We'll begin with an XHTML page structure in its most simple form. In the <head> of our document, we'll point to an external CSS file.
Once upon a time, web developers used the HTML element <table> to layout content columns. This practice is now recognized as cumbersome and not very semantic.
These days, instead of using <table>, we use the <div> element as a container for content. Once you get the hang of it, using <div> becomes very liberating and greatly reduces the amount of markup needed to layout a page.
This is an intermediate level tutorial that discusses one method of multi-column page layout. It assumes the reader has a good knowledge and understanding of HTML and CSS.
