Hi guys, A friend asked me to take a look at her portable WD HDD which isn't working. Apparently it had been working intermittently over the last couple of months, until recently stopped working altogether. The power LED comes on, but there is no life. The drive does not power up- i.e it...

Hi, I have some thumbnails, which when clicked I would like to display the full-size version of the image in another container. To give some perspective, the thumbnails are all 70x70 and are around 4KB in size. The full size versions are around 100 to 300KB. My first attempt at this was to...

Can someone tell me that if I minify all my JS files, will global variables still function properly? For example, given the below: file1.js var total = 50; file2.js var newTotal = total + 50; Would this still work? This is a very basic example, most of my JS is contained within...

Hi, My Dad's PC is booting up to the dreaded "Missing or corrupt c:\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM". I know from past experience that there is no way to reliably fix this without a relatively recent backup of the registry, which unfortunately I don't have. Because I have to instruct my Dad...

Hi, I'm looking at getting a cheap laptop as a spare Web development machine. By this I mean a LAMP (Linux Apache Mysql PHP) setup. I've been looking at the Asus eee, but am doubting whether I will cut it for my needs as it only has: - 512 MB RAM (although this can be upgraded) - 800 x 400...

Hi, I recently made a boot disk for my father which has two menu options: 1. Backup Drive 1 (copy drive 1 to drive 2) 2. Restore Drive 1 (copy drive 2 to drive 1) All it does is use ghost with some scripts to automatically do the cloning. This all works well, but he wants a solution that...

Hi, I recently bought a 19" widescreen monitor and all is good. I have two computers hooked up to a KVM (Linux server, Windows XP workstation) and that is all working fine. My problem is this: If I turn on the XP machine (and have the KVM switched the Linux machine), when I switch back to...

Hi, A friend of mine owns a pub and wants to enable a service where the user can pay $x dollars for X hours of wireless internet use. This sounds easy in theory, but when I thought about it, it became apparent that this is reasonably difficult (well to my knowledge anyway). I regards to this...
