Mice/driver managers like Steer Mouse, free perhaps?

Support developers that made good software? Especially when it so happens here that there are no comparable alternatives, and the OP too agreed that it worked well for him. $20 is nothing when stretched out over the time that you'll be using the software. $20 of gas also doesn't get you very far...

Bank loan payment question

Took me longer than 6 months, but I'm just about to make my final payment! :) $500 for the first payment, $1000/month for the rest, and $888.91 for the final payment. Total interest is $388.91 -- saved $344.61. Does that sound right?

Exporting a variable to a variable in Bash?

Need Newbie AJAX Help

Like many people have said, use one of those JS libraries. It's fine to roll your own stuff, but these libraries are a lot more reliable to use in production since they are much better tested.

Zelda-Twilight Princess...finally finished it...how many hours until your completion?

Took me 60 hours but that's because I took many breaks in between and needed to run around a lot to remember what I needed to do. Beat the final boss but I'm sure I'm still missing a ton of things. Twilight Princess has the best level design I've ever seen

Questions on rewrite rule and rewrite map

You might want to consider putting in your rewrite rules in your server conf files since otherwise Apache will need to stat each directory for a .htaccess file every time. Not a big deal though, if you don't have a lot of traffic to deal with. AFAIK rewrites are pretty fast so 50+ rewrites...

CSS problems between FF, IE6 and IE7

It has nothing to do with well written CSS, it is about working around a bug in IE6 that's now fixed on IE7. It's just not worth hacking for it when you can have it mostly right on strict. Again, removing the XML prolog will not break the page, but fix it. OP, just try it and report back ;)

CSS problems between FF, IE6 and IE7

Do you have any idea what the XML prolog does? Can you point me to wherever in Joomla's docs that says this? i really doubt removing the prolog will break anything. The XML prolog forces IE to render the page in quirks mode regardless of the DOCTYPE, which means that the OP is going to have a...

Get rid of the <?xml ..> thing on the first line. Then like MrChad said, head over to YUI and they do have good advice on this (look for the CSS reset).

CSS: Browser Standards

No, the box model hack is no longer that useful now that IE <6 is mostly a negligible market. What you want is a strict DOCTYPE to force standards-compliant mode on all browsers. I recommend HTML 4.01. Put this on the first line of your page: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"...
