I have prefer to use Drupal when developing sites for clients who's requirements align with what a CMS can provide.
I recently received a contract to build a website with an intuitive slick image gallery, and I decided to explore Drupals image capabilities more than I had before. I have used the Gallery module before and found it suitable for for home photos, but I have not found an image gallery that would be useful for displaying images/slideshows (such as lightbox2) for a business-oriented website, and that the average user would find it intuitive to manage themselves.
I have been attempting to modify the image_gallery module in order to make it as straight forward as possible, but it is still confusing to me. I'm curious as to what other drupal developers use, or if there is just a lack of drupal modules and features that make images easy to use.
Sir, we are dealing with people here who have absolutely no life. Even though my existence is tenuous as I post mildly referential material on slashdot topics, I just can't give up on the World... of Warcraft...
I would recommend creating a custom XP install disc using nLite. With nLite you can pick and choose which components of Windows you want to be installed. You can also add patches, service packs, drivers, accessibility options, and custom programs to be included in the DVD like Firefox and AVG.
This is what I've done for my grandmother. After creating a disk that comes with all the software she'll need, all the drivers, I've got a restore disk that I can just throw in the drive if it ever needs a reformat, and it's an unattended install.
I keep a copy of the nLite image I used for her on my local machine, so for this christmas, I'll load it back up with some updated patches, and throw it in her DVD drive when I get there (after backing her bookmarks up on a USB drive of course).
nLite has a learning curve, but it is small. I would recommend trying a VPC install once or twice before getting your disc "set".
I purchased a Blu-Ray player for my new HTPC which has built in hardware decoding and an AMD 5000+ x2 processor, more than enough power to play and decode bluray...or so I thought.
After struggling through a slightly "skippy" planet earth to a completely unwatchable Casino, I installed Slysoft's AnyDVD HD demo, and everything worked flawlessly.
It shouldn't be this hard to just watch a movie that I legitimately own (or in this case, rented from netflix)
I just saw the scene last night with Will Smith jumping off a car on a motorcycle, simultaneously shooting 2 robots and hitting another one with his bike. I don't see how anyone can call that anything but sweet. But wait, it was entirely in slow mo. Sweet + infinity to the extreme max.
I can't stand how hard she tries to be cute, and how much screen time they give her. She has the personality of a smiling board, her position on the mythbuster's team seems very forced and out of place.

Thanks for the link to the screencast. This looks like it might be the answer. Much obliged sir.

All of this information is fascinating. Unfortunately, I have a life.
Zing! Best "come"-back ever.
Sigh..with each post my maturity level decreases by 1.
Did anyone else read this incorrectly at first? I wanted to know what I needed to do to triple the power of my orgasm

I'm not clear on the whole good / bad thing here...
