What FTP software to use?
It really depends on what you want. If you are the average person, then you want something simple, easy, and on the web because your goal is to just transfer files. If you are a web developer or the equivalent, then you look to external ftp programs because you are too cool and sophisticated for simple, on the web ftp tools. Are there any other classifications? Enterprise developers, users, collaborators? Hah! Sorry, you definitely fall under one of the two classifications stated.
If you are the average pers...

Lenovo x201 Tablet sleep issue. [UPDATE]
Let's describe the issue. The situation is when I put my x201t to sleep, it would start its sleep process, but at some point during the sleep process it shuts down erroneously meaning whatever I did would be lost! Even the event viewer loses any files that would have been written to indicate some type of error! Every time this event occurred, there would be a time lapse between the last event before the sleep event until the next time the system boots up. The reason I note this time lapse is because Windows... -

How to use the Memory Functions of your Calculator
or Windows Calculator.
There are five memory function on Windows Calculator and I will assume that basic calculators have these functions MC, MR, MS, M+, and M-. Even if your calculator does not have all of these functions, it will have some way of saving and recalling values (numbers).Description of each button:
MC > Clears the memory
MR > Recall value in memory
MS > Save value into memory
M+ > Adds the currently displayed number on your calculator to the number in memory
M- > Subtracts the currently displayed ... -
Ugly Syntax in PHP – Executing Conditional Statements in a String
I’ve been hanging out on Stack Overflow helping people recently, which is great because now I see some value in helping others as I see how other people tend to fall into problems and how other people’s answers differ from the way I would code or answer. There are its pros and cons. This is just one of the cons… read on.
So this guy asks “is there a way to execute a variable conditional statement within a string.” I looked at what he wanted which was:“
<?php echo "Hello {isset($name) ? $name : 'World'}!n"; ?>

Using PHP’s Microtime to measure page generation time
There are two ways of using the microtime function to measure page generation time.
The first way consists of using microtime() without any arguments leaving its only argument to default to false. The first and only argument is a bool (defaulted to false) determining whether the function should return a float. What does this float represent? Isn’t it the actual time using a float, so why is it defaulted to false? I suppose that people might want the actual seconds and the microseconds separate, which is why ... -
Lenovo X201 Tablet – Pen Pressure Sensitivity Driver + Issue [UPDATE]
Grab your Wacom Pen-enabled Tablet PC Driver here.
Update 2: It appears Wacom has updated their site, so you'll have to choose your OS and Tablet PC from now on. Also I'm linking to the EU site because it is the one that has it. Europe or America shouldn't have any bearing on driver functionality.
I was looking at Lenovo’s forum where (new?) owners of this tablet have an issue where there is no pen pressure and figured since I’ve had this driver since day one of getting my tablet that I ‘d share it. The on... -
Cross Domain Authentication
What is cross domain authentication?
I believe it is a scenario where one website completely separated from another (meaning it cannot legally access cookies of another domain) and provides its own services, wants to authenticate a user and delegates all login authentication services to another web site. An example of this is Facebook Connect, where users on an application login to facebook through facebook connect and is authenticated through that system.
Why am I looking at this?
I want to create Excerion Ga...

Internet Explorer 9 Preview Inline CSS Issue
I wonder what Internet Explorer 9 is to Microsoft. What is the mission for this browser in this day and age because it seems to me that Microsoft is only updating Internet Explorer because it is something they started and won’t drop. I know that this is an early version of IE 9 mainly to showcase HTML 5, but some standards being supported correctly by Internet Explorer would be nice.
Attention web developers! Have you tried to include inline CSS through AJAX only to find that it doesn’t work on ANY usable ve...
