Special Floppy to Login to XP
That got your attention didn't it? Well it's not entirely inaccurate, there's a way to set Windows XP to only allow you to login if there's a special floppy disk in the drive. Without the floppy there's nothing you can do here, nothing to see. So how do you enable such a feature you wonder? Well I don't know. Alright just kidding Make sure you have a blank floppy disky in the drive. Start -> Run -> syskey From the Securing the Windows XP Account Database window, click the update button. The Startup Key windows will appear. Check the System Generated Password option. Check the Store Startup Key on Floppy Disk option. Click OK
Battlescape
We are finally able to announce the name for our next game, which will be 'Battlescape'. Now we can stop saying 'the next game' on the forums! We've opened a dedicated section on the forum for Battlescape discussion. The previous thread in 'General' (which was one of the most visited topics on our forum and had well over 100 posts!) has been moved and chopped up into its various subjects. We've also included some initial design information and two concept art pictures. We intend to post updates and progress information as often as we can with Battlescape so that everyone can see where we are, offer opinion and get a behind the scenes look at game development. Check out the new Battlescape forum and post any questions here:

Java and Firefox on Mac OSX
Why does scrolling in Firefox make Java apps disappear? I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.2 and Firefox 1.0.6. I've used J2SE 1.4 and 5.0. When I scroll, some Java apps will flicker and disappear. This is most troublesome at the Washington Post crosswords, something I do daily. When the initial page loads, the entire crossword is not on the screen, so I scroll down, which causes the entry part of the applet to go blank. In order to see where the boxes are again, I have to tab through each blank. Even then, the "Check, Save, Reveal" buttons are gone.

Helpline Comment (32794)
Yeah, I was actually going to comment for someone to do view source when it happens but since it happened after I posted I checked but it's basically just a blank html document that does exist. From that I can't tell what's happening except that the submit.pl might be blowing away the main html document and timing out or not recreating it correctly. I thought the same thing though that it was a bad eof character or /html code but normally we'd see something more descriptive in the source for the empty page. - John

The Real Reason You Can Trust Pet Medicine!
Ask just about anyone on the street who regulates medications that a human takes and they can quickly tell you that it is the Food and Drug Administration.
