Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Dec 08, 2004 7:21pm PSTDid myself a little holiday shopping today which was kind of fun. Still on the hunt for those little stocking stuffers or whatever you want to call them. I suck at this stuff. The good news is the gay guy at bath and bodyworks got overly excited about rubbing my neck with some 'de-stressing' cream. That was fun.
- A left handed guy will kick your ass - Laptops kill babies - and the virus of the year is... - Internet fragrances - Shocking gifts!Lastly, hey another new HD-DVD format!

Just curious though, are there any alternatives to these programs? Any other spyware programs I should be aware of?

How about In the Hall of the Dragon King?
I'm looking at picking up an LCD monitor, 17", 12-16ms reponse time, and be able to play any game on it without any distortion or ghosting.
I've read many posts on the Shack through searching and day-to-day shiz and have seen that many people recommend a DVI input, and to stay away from analog. Immediately I turned to the Samsung 172x, but it and all other DVI monitors I've seen have a fairly steep price tag to accomodate for the digital.
Is the digital vs. analog difference highly noticeable? In games, too? I've checked out monitors at several store displays, and I really couldn't tell the difference at all. Is it worth the extra cost?

Here's the problem, the woman's work pc had wintaskad.exe. I booted in safe mode and got rid of it. The problem is spybot search and destroy freezes every tine I run it, safe mode or normal. Adaware works fine, but spybot detects other things but it craps out during the removal. plus she has a browser hijacker that brings her to a site called home search and resets her homepage constantly. What can I do to fix this? please all knowing shack, help me!!!

http://web.uvic.ca/~mwquinn/PW401/assigments/assignment3/Applications/schools.html
As part of this assignment I have to do an imagemap/complex rollover. Now, I've only got it set up for BC (the leftmost province) but eventually the rest with dots will be done.
My problem is that if you stretch the window beyond 1024x720 (or whatever), the visible layers stay in a fixed position. Now, i know WHY this is (the position is set to absolute) but i dont know what to change it to so that they will move with the table.
I guess one option is to fix the entire site so it doesnt centre and rather stays on the left side of the screen with some margins, but would that look ok?

I really thought we were all on the same page. :(
on the one hand I have a great job as an IT Manager and autonomy/credibility/legitimacy etc built up over a couple of years but not much challenge day to day on the tech side (smaller shop)
on the other hand (job offer) I would have less overall responsibility but more challenge day to day and I work with a good friend on back-end IT systems/network infrastructure etc. More pure tech with new toys/tech more often
Both commutes suck and if the pay is the same I kind of feel like its 6 of one and half dozen of the other and I may be giving up some security and resume power (staying put for a few years) but on the other hand if they offered me another 5K - I would probably leave and give the new thing a shot. But then I am conflicted about haggling over salary when everyone involved had already been pretty clear re: $
crap.

i'm pretty doubtful that we're winning this thing but the enthusiasm all you guys showed and efforts that were made to vote made me feel like i'd be letting you guys down if i didnt go.
i'm hoping to find out next week how many seconds i get if i win so i can come up with a quick speech just in case. i will be really pretty shocked if we win, considering how much more all-encompasing all those other sites are.
