What to do with old computer books?

I have a collection of old and out of date computer/technology books (Flash 4, Flash MX, Photoshop 6, ASP, etc.) and I have no idea what to do with them? They aren't really of much use to anyone these days. I could just use them as kindling or something but that seems like a real waste. I...

Anyone see the movie "Crank"?

I enjoyed it. I think it was a great idea for a story and would make a kick ass game. I was entertained and that's what it was meant to do.

Learning Path

www.asp.net has a great library of online documentation to get you started. I learned asp.net 1.1 by grabbing ASP.NET Unleashed by Stephen Walther. Great book. I guess it depends on if you wish to learn .NET 1.1 or start with the new 2.0 framework. There should be a newer book by...

ATOT Cigar Smokers, Chime in!

I have a small humidor but mostly just buy them and smoke them within a day or two. I just hit up the local cigar shops around my town but love when I get the chance to go to Kansas City for my job. There is a great cigar shop out there called the Outlaw Cigar Company. I think they might...

Can't get my cisco router working with my cable modem

FWIW, I had this problem at a site at work and simply powering off the cable modem and powering it up again worked. The tech support guy said it needed to register the new MAC address, which I guess only happens on boot-up of the modem. Can't say if that is your problem or not, but that...

Simple free program that will take 20 jpgs and create custom size thumbnails?

There is a Windows XP power toy that does image resizing. It is really easy to use, just highlight the files you want to resize, right click and select Resize Pictures. Then just pick the size and it does it for you. It can make new versions of the files instead of editing the current ones...

app to sync folders between desktop and laptop

I have used SyncBack as well. It works well for backing up/syncing folders. It can work over FTP too. You might have to map a network drive to use it without FTP, I'm not really sure.

You can make ghost boot cds instead of floppies. It just requires a little more work.

Good router???

I have a Dlink 624 (or whatever the number is, having a real memory lapse today) at home and I love it. It works great and does everything I would need it to. Dlink also seems to keep up with supporting their hardware too, firmware updates and such. :beer: to Dlink!

Was there ever a worse movie produced than AVP?

I liked AvP, interesting concept about the pyramids and such. I dunno, I'm a sucker for the whole genre and won't be easily disappointed cuz I'd rather watch that than many other 'chick flick' type movies that just irritate me.
