    Uh, Google Checkout maybe? There's a bunch of competing services. You contact whomever you want to do business with, tell them you want to do business with them, but do not want to use PayPal. Generally they'll add it pretty fast, if they care.

    Nice! Thanks for that, just tried it out - I love the auto-diagram selector when you get done dragging a line. And the auto Yes/No on the decision blocks - always a pain in Visio, unless there's a trick I've never learned to do it.

  8. It depends on Ask Slashdot: How Is Online Engineering Coursework Viewed By Employers? · · Score: 1

    Stupid Companies: Will hold it against you because it challenges the obsolete Ivory Tower mindset. You don't want to work for that place anyway.

    Smart Companies: Will value it/you because not only do you already have a degree, and additionally you pushed yourself to get yet another one, even though most people just rest on their laurels at that point.

    Just stay out of the mind trap where you think that you should be paid more JUST because you have an additional degree. Using the knowledge acquired from that additional degree to make yourself more valuable - that's the proper mindset.

    I had an employee that tried that with me, he was really shocked when I informed him that I don't put a whole lot of value on degrees, as myself have only a GED and some college. It's what you do with your innate talents that counts for me.

    Oh boo hoo ya big whiner. Alternate ports still get picked up by search engines, so it's not some big conspiracy. It's just a way of getting around residential ISP limitations, pretty much all of them block port 80.

    I for one enjoy seeing the fact that small sites can still provide web content. Eventually, with deep packet inspection, and the nefarious scheming of the MAFIAA, this will not be allowed.

    I ran MessageBase on port 8081 for years until I had the money for a business-class connection. Although you can now connect to it on the normal port 80 (MessageBase, it is still listening also on port 8081 (MessageBase (8081))

    It's nothing to be afraid of, it's just "routing around the problem" just like the internet was designed to do.

    It does run on Vista/Win7 with one tweak: There's a hardcoded requirement for Java.dll to exist in Windows/System32/ - After all the legal wrangling over the years, Microsoft cannot distribute Java.dll (Which was the MS version of Java) any more.

    It apparently doesn't use that DLL, but insists on it being present during the install. Create an empty text file in System32, then rename it to Java.dll. You can then get the installer to work correctly. Once you are done with the VS6 install, delete the fake Java.dll so that it doesn't get into fights with Windows Update.

    If you can't get a good IT job right now, you really suck. Recession is over for skilled knowledge workers. I've quit two sucky jobs this year and had no problem finding another either time. Making $25K more than I did at the job I had last year.

    If you are in IT and sucking it up now, prepare to suck it the rest of your life.

    A lot of the economy is still in the doldrums right now, but IT is hot as it's been since the dotcom bubble. This is not the time to be a pussy.

    I sure wish I had some domains hosted with them so I could move them away. But I smelled their stink since the early days.

    www.No-IP.com for me. I started with them for the free dynamic DNS service they offered, then over the years kept using them for my DNS provider even after no longer needing dynamic DNS. Their interface is good, never caught them being down in about 10 years of using them, and the one time I had to contact tech support I received good knowledgable service.

    Only complaint I have is the generic stock photo of the girl on their main page. I've seen her for years now and tired of seeing her there, and on other sites.

    Thought she was hot at first, but my love for her has faded. ;)

    Yeah, you can do that on a computer with a REAL screen, not those little iToys that all the cool kids have to carry around with them these days.

    Can't wait for this fad to die down a bit so we can quit hearing all these retarded stories about "The Desktop Computer is DOOOOOOMMMEEEDD!" all the time.

    Sure, it's eventually doomed, but not for a long time still. There are so many things that I do on a triple headed desktop that I would never want to attempt on a mobile or pad.
