I need to come up with a client/server application to allow remote control of the instruments we sell at my place of employment…

Unfortunately the client and the server will likely be used on a LAN behind a router or other IGD. I need these two pieces of software, each running on a computer behind NAT, to communicate between each other over the internet.

The problem is I cannot ask the user to setup port forwarding in their router or to determine their public IP address (internet/router address) or anything like that… my boss wants it to "just work out of the box"…

Hi,

Can someone recommend a web hosting company for serving Magento.

I am setting up a site for small business. Performance & liability is obviously important but we will not have the traffic that requires dedicated server (so shared environment).

Additionally, we will require help with transferring over the code from local environment (I’ve set up a virtual server on my laptop) to the web hosting environment.

Obviously $ is very important as well as this small business is only starting out.

Looking for some assistance. anybody? Thanks in advance.

Me, whats up?

edit, just saw its an old thread

I have three div elements containing spans that I’m trying to float left with a right margin for spacing. They’re all inside of div class="my_container"

No matter what I seem to throw at them, in IE6 and 7, they each falls down to the next line. I even tried

.my_container *{

float:left !important;
clear:none !important;
}

but that didn’t work, maybe IE6/7 ignores that? The output is generated by a Jquery script that skins select drop downs as these containers and then hides the dropdown, and it gives each element css width via inline css. Anyone encountered something like this? Thanks

The site

This page works fine in IE8/9 and Firefox but when played in safari it seems to skip the first two function and only play the last one on the page…. any ideas?

The AS3 code:

stop();
everett_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnEverettClickHandler);
function btnEverettClickHandler (event:MouseEvent) : void {
navigateToURL (new URLRequest(""));
trace("I’m clicked");
}

Okay, so the company I work for deploys web outreach software essentially providing a website for each client. We have just purchased a new domain name to use and from there create a sub domain for each new client.

We already have a 2008 server box running IIS7 for the existing domains, but I’ve been given the task of figuring out how to host our new domain name on that box. Of course this is a bit above my head as the most ive done in the past for my own sites would be to change DNS to move my domain from godaddy to my host.

I got laid off last Friday, but I was in the middle of a couple big projects. They want me to work on various projects as a freelancer until I find a new full-time job. My old boss said I need to file a DBA so they don’t get in trouble for payroll tax evasion. After looking up some information it doesn’t seem like a DBA is what I need…

That’s just one link I found information. I don’t even want to work under an assumed name. Anyone have any idea what i should be doing as a new freelancer so everything remains kosher with the IRS? Thanks!

My team is hiring. I’ve already filled 10 or so positions, but have a few more. The position is on site, fulltime in Cupertino, CA. You must relocate. If you’re interested, PM me with a link to your resume and I’ll send you a test. If it looks good, I’ll fly you out for some face time.

I’m cleaning up, I cbf doing anything with it really.

Figured an OT’er would probably like it.

Hehe, my thoughts exactly.

It’s one of those "lol (1.7 seconds later) meh, i’m over it" ideas.

Anyone know of an alternative to browsershots org? Seems like they have gotten pretty popular and i cant get more than 4 shots before my request times out over 30 mins.

There’s a good one that was posted a while ago. Can’t remember it though. Use search.

I stopped using these things and just view the site in each browser manually.

adobe’s browser lab works fairly well… Thats all i’ve really used so I cant compare
