I'm willing to bet these things don't make it over 1.5 years.

I brought it to work in my bag, and when I got to work it worked! Yipee! Perhaps bouncing around in my bag helped it somehow...

I've used some isopropyl alcohol to clean the scroller ball. Fixed a stuck roller several times now.

Mine flakes out every now and again - won't scroll down. I find if I press the ball while rolling down, it'll come back to life, and then be fine for weeks...

Mine just flaked out and wouldn't scroll down. I googled and got this link and this thread! Holding the mouse upside down and rolling the ball against the mouse mat worked for me.

Not quite a double post, I wrote that in Quick Reply and the page froze, so I found the thread and the post was there but it didn't update the thread to the top of the list, so I p…

Mines crapping out as well.. Scrolls in all directions but down now. Ive tried cleaning the ball as best I can, and it sometimes helps a bit, but not for long. Think i'll just have…

Mine is not scrolling down again now, I've rubbed it over the mouse mat (which has worked before), rubbed it over paper (which has also worked before), pressed the ball down and bl…

Same problem here, often won't scroll down. Apple should really have made then clean-able ..

Hi, Could someone please share with me some sample code of how to use vbscript on an ASP page to display the html of another url? (I know that this is an ASP question posted on a…

The trickiest part of this is actually getting the remote URL. First question: are you trying to do this with server-side VBScript (as part of the ASP page), or client-side VBScri…

I'll prefix this by saying most of what i've done on the windows side has been with c# in asp.net if you're using visual basic.net, microsoft has a nice tutorial for how to downlo…

I want to convert dvds onto my new ipod video however i have a pc and need to find a program similar to handbrake to help me. does anyone know a program?? thanks!!!

Get a Mac, duh Just kidding. If you insist on using your Windows computer, look at Videora. I have no experience with it personally (I own 2 Macs myself), but I think it should …

That program is for converting only and I need to Rip a dvd and then convert it to my iPod and I am having a really hard time finding some way to do that. If anyone knows of a prog…

good question. i also need to rip my dvd's then convert. macs arent my thing so i meed a windows program that can do this

You need DVD Decrypter. It's harder to find now, but it's still around if you look hard enough.

after re-coding my website over the past couple of days, i've given it a routine run through the w3c validator and it keeps returning errors saying i've included "character data" …

Have you tried 'Zap gremlins' from BBEdit (replacing them with bullet characters) to make sure there's nothing wrong. The characters you're seeing usually mean a UTF8 character has…

Or just try deleting the whole two lines there and rewrite them? That should, in any case, get rid of this seemingly rogue character...

i thought i'd sussed it there - i ran "zap gremlins" on the header file and various included files and it found a non-character in one of the files - but unfortch i'm still getting…

Is it a dodgy line break? Could try normalise line endings. Or re-opening with/without translating line breaks. Does it look weird with Show Invisibles on? What are you document…

it looks fine with "show invisibles on" and yep - the document settings are as you say. i'm wondering if it's some kind of PHP glitch. the page [index.php] includes the header.ph…

I cut and pasted the page source into a new TextWrangler file, set it to UTF-8, and saved it to a new file. I then uploaded that file straight up to the validator, and it passed. …
