» Why is photography considered hard? ?
I'm just curious: why is photography hard? Don't you just set the settings on the camera and the lighting and take the shots? Why do photographers have to have a lot of inspiration? I mean I know if on their own, it is hard. But when people have photoshoots of other people, isn't the setting and clothes/items provided? Thanks, hope someone can let me know!Photography is different from snapping away; everyone can use shutter button to take pics, but real photographs come from imagination which then the photographer uses his tools to capture. Everyone can use paint and a brush with little training, but not everyone can become a good artist. Same with photography. The camera can only record what you are seeing, but you ...... - 2009-12-26

» Setting up RAID 0+1 (great tutorial)
You're sold. You want a RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks/drives). Maybe you've witnessed the phenomenal speed of a RAID 0, or perhaps you want the safety net of immediate data backup that a RAID 1 offers. In any case, you're ready to take the plunge. (See other "How To Install" articles for more details on RAIDs 0 and 1.) But hang on. What about the risks of a naked RAID 0? And isn't a RAID 1 no faster than a single hard drive? Moreover, you'd rather spend your money on bigger hard drives than on an add-in RAID controller card, so you want a RAID with support built into a motherboard. The answer might be RAID 0+1. Goal A RAID 0+1 starts with a pair of striped hard drives, meaning that the PC writes part of each file to bo...... - 2009-12-26
» How to replace 2002 Saab 9-5 ,2 L, 4 Cyl, turbo engine air filter? Thanks!?
In addition to Nick saab. It is on the right hand side in front of the wheelI think the voters chose a poor answer. Report Abuse It is just in front of the passenger side wheel, at the very bottom of the engine compartment. Get under the car, and have a Torx screwdriver (there should be one next to the spare tire in the trunk if you don't already have one). If you have the Aero front spoiler, you may have to undo some screws to move it out of the way to get enough access. Looking under the car, it is a pretty big circley-shaped plastic housing, probably 8 or 10 inches across, held on by (IIRC) three torx screws. Undo those and lower the plastic and the air filter should fall right out...... - 2009-12-26

Hi guys, I don't know if I will explain this properly, but here goes: I have a function: function toDo(){ do this...... do something else.... do something else..... } When this function is finished doing everything it has to do, I want something else to be done for instance, gotoAndPlay(), but only when everything inside the function is done. Thnx in advance.Everything in that function will be done in order. The last one will not be called until the others are done.

With regard to tryouts for youth "travel" soccer, does anybody have any methods they've found for systematically noting and comparing the qualities of promising players? (I find this a very difficult process.) What do you prioritize? Physical abilities soccer skills attitude something else? What do you penalize?alot depends on the age, but I look for ( coach U12 Boys): - individual skills - game skills (position, GOOD passes, communication) - attitude and coachability, do they listen and do what you ask.I second what NHRef said but would also add aggressiveness (controlled, of course).

» Security for a cabin?
I own a cabin in a remote wilderness, and am looking for ideas to prevent and/or discourage burglars and vandals. Unfortunately, a traditional security system will be ineffective, as the nearest law enforcement is over an hour away. And yes, we do have occasional trespassers. Any ideas?A monitored security system, which relays intrusion signals to a monitoring station which will then dispatch local authorities, might be a good start. At least this way there is notification that a break in has taken place. As well, you should flood your property in as many lights as possible. Light the entrance to your property with bright lights, and install a locked gate at the driveway. A lock made from durable material such as titanium would be best, t...... - 2009-12-26

» interfacing VoIP software to an incoming phone line
Having set up VoIP software (voipbuster, skype etc) on my PC, it now seems a great idea to configure my PC to answer my home phone and connect the two together somehow. This would allow me to call my PC from my mobile phone, (at local call rates), and then connect to any other number worldwide using VoIP. Even better if it were possible for someone to call me using VoIP and my computer dials my mobile phone and connects me to the incoming VoIP call.

» IIS5/Win2k - Disabling FileSystemObject on a per-site (virtual server) basis
Is there a way to disable the FileSystemObject (FSO) on a per-site basis? De-registering the DLL is not an option, nor is running each virtual site under it's own logon, and restricting permissions for that username. If this is not possible, is there a way to restrict FSO to it's virtual directory? I realize this should be done via NTFS permissions, however I would like to have an added level of security in this case. Thank you.I'm pretty sure NTFS permissions take care of this. There's no way around permissions as far as I'm aware of. I've never heard of a way to disable FSO on a per-site basis, but I'm not really an expert on this.

(See other "How To Install" articles for more details on RAIDs 0 and 1.) But hang on. What about the risks of a naked RAID 0? And isn't a RAID 1 no faster than a single hard drive? Moreover, you'd rather spend your money on bigger hard drives than on an add-in RAID controller card, so you want a RAID with support built into a motherboard. The answer might be RAID 0+1.

» Connecting to Dreamweaver MX
Originally posted by liam:------------------------------------------ Dreamweaver MX is an extremely full-featured and well rounded HTML editor. Its functions, however, do not stop there. One of the most useful of these features is the integrated FTP support. This allows you to define separate FTP info for each site you are working on, and even allows for automatic updating of the files on the remote server when you save locally. So, here's how to use dmx to connect to a remote server. 1) From the Files panel, choose "Site", then choose "Edit Sites" http://www.vmkdsn.com/kirupa/dmxConnect/editSites.gif 2) From the dialog box that comes up, choose a site to edit.

As we move into the doldrums of Mid-Winter, my spirit hungers for the juicy and electric atmosphere that tropical Summer weather patterns bring. Often my mind returns to idyllic scenes, of simple yet life -filled times gone by that fulfilled my soul, and a promise of someday a return to this home base.

As of now, I have paid a $400 deposit fee. This is an email they sent me: **** ******* $2,655.50 Dear Future FAU Resident: Welcome to FAU Housing for Spring 2009!

» Twilight cast/ easy points !!!?
who should have played Rosalie in twilight?..i think Scarlett Johansen. i mean the rosali they casted didnt really hit the image they were going for in the book.You know the girl in twilight isnt even all that gorgeous and she seems to be in a couple movies.. oh well though the movie is good =]Hmm... thats tough, because while I dont think the girl they cast as Rosalie is as "perfect" as shes described... she does have the attitude down lol. You have a point tho, I think Scarlett Johansen would be a great Rosalie... I had a little more of a problem with a few other characters... I guess Jasper fits somewhat, but I kind of thought of him as a little more.. intimidating... and Victoria.. should have had RED hair, not strawberry blonde. ...... - 2009-12-26
» Who here thinks there needs to be a separate category for paranormal or ghosts etc?
it seems the closest we can choose from is either "religion and spirituality" (which is hogged by the christians and atheists), or "mythology and folklore" (which is not exactly right either) but ghosts, vampires, orbs, aliens, ufo's, witches, wicca, satanism, astral travel, lucid dreaming, energy work, spiritual healing, etc, etc, etc, i think maybe should have it's own category or would the atheists and christians just come in and ruin that for us too? calling all crazy and what not? or is "Science & Mathematics > Alternative > Paranormal Phenomena" good enough?You're right, this is a strange place to put such discussions. I think that a Paranormal subcategory off the Society & Culture category would be the best ...... - 2009-12-26
» Whats a core switch? and can you name some of Cisco's core switches?
Whats the different between regular switch and core switch?Core switches are pretty much the same as a normal switch but these switches feed other switches on a network. lets say you had 1000 PC's that needed networking you might want. a cisco 6500 series switch for the core then hang lots of cisco 24 port switches off that one for each room of computers. The core switch simply refers to the switch that forms the basis for the network. Typically any VLANs are configured on the core switch. Any routers for internet access and branch offices are typically connected there as well, as well as any VPN endpoints. Then you set up network runs from there to the various wiring closets and any switches residing on those closets....... - 2009-12-26
