Reply to What Are The Best Gadgets To Buy? in Gadgets & Electronics JoeUser Forums

There are too many books that are great, but don't cover the new stuff as it happens. If you are a computer artist, I suggest getting a subscription to the UK magazine Computer Arts, or Computer Arts Projects( http://www.computerarts.co.uk ). Computer Arts highlights whats new in Art software for graphic, vector, and 3D artist. Each issue comes with a CD or two full of demos and free stuff. Computer Arts Projects is my favorite because it comes with some

Still A Kid Wanting Toys in Gadgets & Electronics JoeUser Forums

Christmas is upon us and I have the special privilege of having a birthday in December to go along with the day of festivities near the end of the month. Even now that I approach my tri-decade celebration I find there is still the excitement of getting gifts. As time has gone on, I find that I rely on getting presents from other people less and less and use this time of year to indulge myself with whatever whim strikes me. Last year I got myself one of my favorite gifts ever, a Repla

Reply to Death of the MTV Generation in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

For Ben, First thanks for your response, it’s always great to hear other opinions. I never said the MTV generation never evolved because it has. I’ve seen what you refer to classified as the TRL Generation who eat up toilet humor and artist with the most skin showing under the “bling”. Yes music has always been clique but the cliques of Elvis and the Beatles were the kids vs. the parents, not the niche appeal of today’s music scene. Yes trilogies have been done before, but the

What is the device you are trying to use? Are you sure it's not the other way around that you have a USB 2.0 device that your connecting to USB 1.1? Some devices can't do this.

Death of the MTV Generation in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I'm a genX'er. I could never really tell if I was too old or too young to be one, but I consider my self a genX'er because that's what they (Media, parents, elders..) referred to when describing issues about the people I was interested in that were close to my age when I was growing up. One of the traits that was observed to be “genX” was a short attention span. The trait was attributed to the cable network MTV that sucked you in with 5 minute montages of images set to pop music but quickly s

It's hard not to be cynical in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

I have a cool job. For about a year now I've been a Technical Support Representative. The program I support is newer to the company I work for, as they made their name on a really powerful program that is still considered the standard to do what it does, and then created this smaller program that really hasn't done much until about a year ago when they changed to a service model instead of a product model. (Yes I'm being dodgy because I like my job and want to keep it. This article does not h

Reply to Help fix an IconX problem in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

Thanks Brazil. From the searches I performed looking for a fix to this, I agree IconX has got some problems currently. 1.99n fixes some of the issues I found posted, but not this particular one. I'm still working though, I just turn IconX off (Oh the horror of the standard Icon! ), or revert to 1.99h that I have archived and I'm golden. I haven't found a compelling reason to use the latest b

Help fix an IconX problem in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

Greetings, I've been experiencing a problem with IconX for the last few beta releases. The last one that worked for me was 1.99h[b].002. What is happening is when ever I turn on IconX, I think it is inverting an alpha channel or something. What happens is that any objects that I have currently running disappear as well as all my icons. Now here's the weird bit, If I have an object that was on top of my original desktop icon (before starting IconX) I can see a portion of the object in an

is your sphere on it's own layer or the background? (Styl's instructions don't say to create a new layer before drawing but you need to ) you can't apply layer styles to the initial background layer. to make a new layer press Ctrl+Shift+N. Then create your shape. You should then be able to apply your layer style. Also when you create the new document, under content, select transpa
