What "sass"? He said "it's good to see some people can find a good operating system" as if there is hard evidence to back up the fact that Windows is any better or worse than *nix, and that anyone using Windows are idiots for not changing.

It is exactly what I said, personal preference. I happen to like Linux more than Windows as my day to day operating system, but I don't ram it down peoples throats by pretending it's fact, because it quite clearly isn't.

Right, people shouldn't go around making claims unless they are willing to back them up, but what part of "it's good to see some people can find a good operating system" sounds like this guy is ramming it down anyone's throat or claiming any sort of fact. Is calling things good not allowed? He doesn't seem to be masquerading this simple statement as fact it is obviously his opinion, you are the only one who called it fact. You are posting about something you made up.
Anyway, I'm done...its an argument and its the internet neither of us are going to concede or anything so I'm gonna stop here and not hijack this fella's thread any longer

adding, overflow:auto; to your container should fix that.

I have a windows vista cd that always stops at the end of the installation process. I get an error saying, "CD can not complete. Files might be corrupted". Is there any way to fix a corrupted cd?

Are you sure the CD is bad and not the computer you are trying to install it on, perhaps your hard drive has some bad sectors on it and its causing installed files to before corrupted. If it is in fact the CD then I would try getting it replaced through Microsoft.

Personal preference. Please do not mask opinion as fact.

While I happen to be posting this from Mint, I do not hate Microsoft like a lot of uneducated people do.

If you want to start a website, and you currently have no money to fund it, your best bet would be to learn how to start one on your own. This doesnt have to be and isnt extremely hard. Even if you have no knowledge on how to start one, you can quickly get going by doing some research online. If you want to or are willing to try and learn how to program one on your own, i reccomend starting from the ground up and following some tutorials on w3schools or looking up some relevant tutorials on HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL etc... It takes some time to learn all these things but its fun and rewarding to do so.
If you have no desire to learn any programming skills or think you are incapable you can still get along by using some Content Management Systems, most hosts offer Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress and a few others for free with pretty simple installs. CMS's such as Joomla and Drupal are very modular (meaning you can add a lot of functionality to them such as forums, chats, themes, etc..) and you can do a lot with them out of the box. If you know nothing to begin with I would reccomend looking up tutorials/articles on joomla and wordpress since they are widely used and more newbie friendly.
Some advice: Most people wont jump at the opportunity to program you a website, its not a business venture, you aren't knowledgeable on the subject and it sounds like you just want a personal site which wont generate nearly any ad revenue. I'm not putting you down I'm just saying that going out on your own, reading up on the almost infinite amount of resources available to you would be a better investment of your time, and you get to lean something.

Anyway, try and learn some programming or how to use a CMS and you should be off to a good start, hardly anyone who works with websites and is good has had people holding their hands and showing them every step along the way. Experiment, take some chances, learn something new, it more fun and fulfilling that way

Floated elements are taken out of the document flow, meaning other elements will, for the most part, ignore them
Solution:
get rid of the heights on your container and content left and right, they screw with the solution a bit
remove float:right; from contright
add margin-left:441px (440, the width of contleft + some extra room, increase if necessary)
add clear:left to footerwrapper

What this does is leaves contleft to the left, and then the margin on contright pushes it next to contleft, allowing for two columns. The clear attribute is for clearing floats, it allows elements to recognize and treat floats mostly normally. I don't think you should have any problems with this

Just position an <a> element over it with display:block; and the appropriate dimensions

I was gone?

I figured I need to start programming again...seeing as my major is web applications and I haven't done any real programming for quite some time. I've just laid low and done nothing...I took up some new hobbies(piano, bass) but kinda need to work programming for fun back into my life. I hope hanging around here again will get me back into the programming mood again.

I'm so rusty I may just get tetanus,if I happen to cut myself...on myself (although thats not really a leading cause)...*sigh*</bad joke>

That should work...this whole fat people problem has to be just because they are uninformed. Once we send out some pamphlets they will totally go out and do something about it too, because they have self control and motivation....oh wait.

Anyway the fat people ban will probably never happen, but some people are comparing it too a bartender cutting you off because you are too intoxicated, which in some ways makes it seem reasonable.

This would be awesome and it has come up (plenty) before, but there are just many management issues (i.e. the boring stuff?) that keep killing it:
1. Everybody assumes the 'programmer position' and nobody assumes the 'manager position.' Nobody takes the architectural side or testing side of it either. You can put a lot of programmers in one room and they may all code, but without some form of direction, your code might not get you anywhere.
2. Given geographic evils, it can be hard to schedule good talking time about the project and its future.
3. There's somewhat limited overlap relating to the tools everybody could use (proficiently) and a project everybody could do/get interested it; that is further limited by the amount of programmers here.

I know we can all band together and make a program that will allow us to get organized so that a project will actually get finished...but for a project of that size we would need some kind of program that allows us to ge....shit

I don't count anymore

this isnt really the place to ask that, but i'll answer you anyway. If your video card or monitor has any composite or component in, then you should be able to do it. If not then youll have to get some sort of splitter that has component or composite in that allows you to switch the input source to your monitor

it takes time to learn and be proficient with CSS, almost everyone out there was brought up with tables so just keep on trying.
You have a good idea there, but I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to do but here is what I think you should do based upon an assumption

Usually a layout using CSS/Divs is constructed with a header image, containing the top part of the layout, then a container which holds all the divs including the header is given a background image, this background image is a kind of psuedo-column sorta deal, it most likely has the bordering images of the layout and any colum borders in it, and is repeated downward. Anyway, after the header comes the navigation and content elements 2 or more usually, and they are floated and margined in order to fit. Then comes the footer which is the image and or text, which kinda finishes off the layout.

That is a very rushed and general assumption/explination of what you are trying to do. I'm sure someone with more time can explain it better...gotta go :)
