Drunk posting again Jon? lol

There are many reasons and it should be obvious and logical to anyone. Rack servers take up less space than just say putting a tower on the floor under your desk. Servers take a lot of energy and power and create a lot of heat. If a server happens to go down for whatever reason (hardware failure, short in the system, DOS, etc.), then there should be some sort of fail safe set up where the other servers can share the load until the other server is up and running again.

You need to repost this in the flash forum and you need to be prepared to offer $ for services rendered.

All you had to do was google to get your answer.

It's funny that you mentioned Nerds because I'm going to probably end up sending a care package with Nerds and peanut butter M&Ms to a friend in England.

WTF is space dust? Is that like pop rocks?

There's something in chocolate that's actually ok for the teeth in moderation but the sugar then messes everything else up lol. But I wouldn't say candy is really good for the teeth. It's addictive :(

Or some prefer punbb

We have a lot of kids here. Class american dream neighborhood.

I like it :) People are always walking dogs, kids playing, nice houses, low crime..

The issue is that a lot of kids here in CT are coming down with all kinds of illnesses. We usually get kids by the carload but we've had 2 schools close down and hundreds of kids in other schools are also sick. Oh well! More candy for me (like anyone needs it!). I brought a bag of candy up to my parents' house so that the guys who are working there can eat some of it.

If you have a lot of $ to burn, that kind of thinking works but if you can't afford to keep upgrading your hosting or to pay for a dedicated server instead of shared hosting, then it doesn't work. Flash might be interactive but CSS is better. JS? No, it can be disabled by the browser, use php instead if you want interactive stuff on the site. However, this is a portfolio site so you need to consider the audience that you're trying to reach to view your stuff and potentially hire you. Anyone who hires a flash programmer will most likely want you to be able to write applications in flash, not flash based websites anyway.

Story of your life huh?

We had tons of candy left over, which is surprising. Last year we had some left over after handing kids handfuls of candy. It's really odd that we seem to be getting less and less kids each year but one theory is that with all of the viruses running around out there, parents are afraid that their kids are going to get sick. I think that's a load of crap.

You mentioned in your first post that you expect people to do this for free, which is pretty wrong to assume that people won't want to be paid for their time and efforts.

What you can do is get the site up and running and see how much traffic you get and how much bandwidth you use. Then as you see that increasing or you have outages, then you know it's time to upgrade.

I don't think that they had retirement funds back when Shawshank took place.

Ok so what's the non-profit version of a 401k? :P

Yeah a 401k is a retirement fund.

That didn't sound right either but I'm assuming that he's paid a weekly salary which equals a specific amount. Probably no overtime or anything because it's salary.

Why would you not want an ergonomic mouse? Ergonomic is much more comfortable, especially if you're using it a lot.

Actually I stated this wrong. The above example is wrong if you want to affect all of the h2s. If you want all of the h2s to be the same, you want to use h2 {whatever you want here} as a CSS declaration. If you only want a few of them to be affected, then you can do something like .h2 {font:;} and declare the class in your html.

If you do a .h2 {} class, then yes it'll affect all of those <h2></h2> tags.

You need to go to the flash forum. Also, you should learn AS 3 not AS 2.

No one here will talk to you without first knowing how much you're willing to pay.

Before going any further, it's obvious that you didn't bother to read the rules on how to post jobs in this forum.
So here we go:
1. What language?
2. What is your role in the project?
3. How much are you paying?
4. What's the concept, storyline, etc.?

These are just the basics and others will definitely want to know more.

Javascript is enhancements for webpages (that can be disabled by the viewer) and actionscript is for flash applications so it depends on what you're in to.

No, no and no!
#1 this topic is not helpful at all and there's no question about programming or code bugs.
#2 You can't just make a website in dreamweaver. Dreamweaver costs money and you also need to have some knowledge about (X)HTML and CSS in order to design proper websites that are standards compliant. This is also helpful because if you encounter a bug or it's not displaying properly in all browsers, then you'll know how to fix it.
#3 Your statement about designing a site in dreamweaver, then cutting it up and importing it in dreamweaver doesn't make sense. I'm sure you mean design a layout in Photoshop, slicing it and importing it into dreamweaver. However, the code that photoshop produces is sloppy and it may still use tables, though I'm not sure. Tables aren't good to use for layouts.

You can use dreamweaver without using their FTP program. I also don't recommend using dreamweaver if you have no (X)HTML or CSS knowledge at all. Programs can't do everything that you want them to do and you need to be able to manipulate the HTML and CSS the way that you want if the program can't do it for you. Also if something breaks or isn't displaying right, you need to know how to fix it.

Mmmkay? Yeah they are. They're also obsolete and CSS & divs should be used instead.
