16x16 or larger. 16x16 is the most widely used size. Mac OS X sometimes uses 128x128. --- Oh, and here's another one:

Nope, atleast, its no longer true. The original requirement was that it had to be a .ico only, but all browsers since IE5 onwards support GIF and PNG too.

Well for starters, the colors appear a bit dull. I think it would have looked better if it was like the tilted Windows logo that the MSFN banner currently has or even the 'm' part of it would make a good favicon

Looks good, but it could have been better

Restart your PC in Safe Mode and delete them. Gobot also creates a file with a random charecters in your Windows folder. You need to delete that file too.

You can adjust the tilt. The ViewSonic site says that you can adjust the "height, tilt and swivel" Hmm, this seems interesting: Samsung LCD Boasts 100,000:1 Contrast With Local Dimming LED Backlights Don't know how true their claims are though.

Ok.... Then in your opinion, which LCD comes closest to Plasma in terms of color and contrast? Ones you can buy without selling your house. No LCD can come close to a Plasma display. For starters, LCDs cannot have a pure or near black pixel like Plasmas can - you can't just turn off a pixel and expect that it'd be completly black in an LCD screen. But there are a few LCD screens that are quite good, like the ViewSonic VP930b, Eizo FlexScan L997 and the LaCie 321. Now they aren't exactly cheap, but you wouldn't have to sell your house to buy it

You can do this in two ways. You need to type this in Run every time you need to open a file that you think is a zip file: rundll32.exe zipfldr.dll,RouteTheCall "filename" where, filename is the full name and path of your file. A more permanent method would be to associate all .1, .2 files etc as zip files: ASSOC .1=CompressedFolder ASSOC .2=CompressedFolder ASSOC .3=CompressedFolder etc Of course, if this is a pattern, ie, say it goes on till 99 or something, you could type this command in the Command Prompt to automate it. FOR /L %i IN (1,1,99) DO @ASSOC .%i=CompressedFolder this command would associate all file extensions starting from .1 , increasing one at a time, till .99.

For all practical purposes, they are dead. However, I'm sad that we never saw a good replacement for the floppy disk. I mean it was universal - you could boot off it, read/write without any fuss, worked in all PCs that had a floppy drive.. I mean the only problem with floppies was that it was unreliable. Sure, you can have bootable CDs, but it isn't the same as a bootable floppy - you can't write back to the CD you booted from. CDRWs and DVDRWs are even more unreliable than floppies were. USB/flash drives - very promising, but unfortunately, booting doesn't work in half the PCs, and there's no straightforward way to make them bootable. Those days were truly the portable ages. In just a single floppy disk I used to carry an OS and plenty of other tools - no installation needed, no fuss. If someone'd have told me it'd end up like this today, I'd be in disbelief. We spend more time fixing, setting up and configuring the computer and trying to learn new things about the computer itself, instead of getting the real work done. How did we get into this mess? -- I still keep a bunch of floppies, but I use it only for demonstration purposes - most of them are bad or dead, but I bring them alive by using SpinRite - I use them to demonstrate the power of SpinRite. You should really watch it in action when it's trying to recover data from a bad sector - you can actually see the contents of your file slowly being recovered, live! And the Flux Reversal Synthesis graph never fails to amaze people!

Yes, you need to run a 3rd party app. You can place it next to the 'up' icon, but the next time you start the program it'll go back to its default position, which is near the corner.

Large screen OLED display prototypes have been made but yet to be manufactured on large scale. this article is from 2005... any new info?? I thought plasma monitors were producing lower quality display than LCD's... There has been no news about that since 2005. As for plasmas, they do have high contrast (about 5000:1 compared to the 500:1 of LCDs ), are very accurate in reproducing colors and look great in sunlight too. But they don't have a high resolution and you can't have a Plasma Display of less than 37 inches - so they're not ideal for computer usage. Plasmas are also power guzzlers - they use more power than a CRT display - atleast 700W+ !

You can't. However, bxNewFolder can

Large screen OLED display prototypes have been made but yet to be manufactured on large scale. Ever been to a movie theater? There are also self-correcting projectors - they have a camera attached to them so it can get a constant feedback of the quality of the projection. If it finds any differences between the source image and projected image, it'll correct it automatically. So for instance, you're pointing it to a corner of a wall, it'll detect the bent image and readjust the projected image such that it won't appear bent! It'll also check the color, luminosity, hue etc, and adjust those values accordingly - so you could be projecting on a red colored wall for eg, so it'll adjust the other color values accordingly to make the image normal

No idea, but AFAIK: CRT > Plasma > LCD > OLED > Projector > E-Paper

There are plenty of them! Where do I begin? - Performance isn't up to par with VirtualBox or VMware. Quite slow for regular/heavy usage. - No facility to import from other Virtual Machines like VMware (although VMware supports importing from VPC.) - Not much flexibility in customizing virtual hardware - Cannot create SnapShots. Undo disks are OK, but they don't provide the kind of flexibility that snapshots do. In VMware for example, I can jump to any snapshot I want to, to test software with different configurations, in the same virtual machine. - Lack of 3D acceleration. VMware supports DirectX and can play simple Dx games like Age of Empires. - Better support for other OSes like *nix. - Clones and Teams These are just a few of the differences I can think of right now.

It'll be tiring as long as it is a source of light. The best option would be e-paper / electronic ink. e-paper doesn't emit light and its as close as you can get to a real paper. Currently, e-paper only supports black and white and isn't suitable for movies and such, but I suppose in the future this could improve

Download and run Dial-a-Fix. Once started, choose the option "SSL/HTTPS/Cryptography" and press GO.

Yes, you can create a new partition, but only if you have free or "Unallocated" space. If your C: is occupying the entire drive, then you cannot resize it using Windows's partitioning tools.. In that case, I'd recommend you burn a LiveCD of GParted and boot from it to resize your C: and create a new partition.

^ Thanks again for your inputs. SUB showing up as SUB in the task list is impossible - I didn't even use the "SUB" name anywhere in the program! I think you could may be seeing the process of the zip file, which is the only file that's called SUB

Presenting: Stealth URL Blocker v1.0 ---------------------------- Full instructions are written in the Readme.txt file. Here are a few screenshots of its stealthiness Check out SUB's no-icon when it's disabled: Designed to look like a standard windows file: Download ( 207k )

Cool! Can you please send me the link to that website?
