Nope, not talking about screen saver :) The problem is that no power management tab exists under mouse. Perhaps the one under keyboard controls both mouse and keyboard? In which case darn. Thanks anyway.

Frustratingly, there doesn't seem to be an option anywhere to prevent the mouse from bringing the machine out of standby. For example, under keyboard in control panel I can find a power management tab with the option, but not for the mouse. I'm tired of having to tiptoe by the machine to keep it...

Hmm. Maybe so, but you'd think if Apache was behaving that "intelligently," then it would see the 304 status and know that the Content-type header isn't necessary. Especially since Apache doesn't send Content-type when returning a 304 for a static file, since the response contains no content.

Yeah, I can set it to whatever I want, but I'd like to suppress it.

I'm implementing an XML feed in Perl/Apache. If I send a "304 Not Modified" header to the client, CGI.pm's header() function wants to put a Content-Type header in there. If I don't specify one, it sends text/html. If I specify an empty one, it inserts text/plain. I want to leave it out...

Is it possible to find out whether a given domain is commonly blacklisted by corporate web proxies?

Perfect. Thanks.

PHP serializes $_SESSION data between requests. What I want to know is whether this data can be acted on in any other way than through a page request. The example scenario I have in mind is when a user lets his session time out, is there a way to auto-generate an email to him containing the...

Yep, I can reach the DTD with my browser. What I've determined so far is: 1) Since java doesn't know that it's supposed to use a proxy, forcing it to use a proxy with a special java -D option fixes the immediate problem, however 2) A parser shouldn't be using the SYSTEM id to ping the w3.org...

Running Saxon to do a transform fails when an input document contains a DOCTYPE whose system ID references a DTD on the www.w3.org site. Deleting the DOCTYPES from all the documents isn't an option. I'm on the network, but behind a proxy. Any suggestions? Error java.net.UnknownHostException...

I didn't know COMMAND and CMD were different, but using CMD my problems are solved. Cool registry hack too. Thanks, all.

In DOS, if you have a deeply nested <pathname> such as: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\websites\htdocs\mysubdirectory\galleries\imgs\thumbsized How do you get to that folder? cd <pathname> fails, as well as cd "<pathname>". Manually cding to everything using the cd foobar~1...

I don't think this is accomplished through HTML or scripting. Especially for the purpose you describe. Try checking forum608 'Browser issues for IT professionals'.

Based on further research I've learned this resolves to a cubic equation that can be solved with an algorithm known as the cubic formula, which produces multiple roots (solutions for x that satisfy the equation). java.awt.geom.CubicCurve2D has a static method dedicated to solving these types of...

My cultural anthropology prof always said that labor specializes and diversifies when technology increases, so I think we'll find ourselves in an ever more complex IT landscape with more languages and niche skillsets than ever.
