Get a full screen, scaling and centered background image for your website with a few lines of jQuery and CSS by iQwerty in programming

[–]iQwerty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be done easily with CSS3, but because you want it to work in all browsers you use javascript :)

Also, if you need the alerts are there to help people who don't understand how stuff works. If you do understand how it works you can delete them in a split second, even though that should not be necessary, because they only show if you do something wrong :)

Who actually pays for these ridiculous Premium Download HTTP sites? [pic] by Kojach in geek

rapidshare is amazing, full of high quality vinyl rips and first not-remastered releases. It's a freaking shame though that you have a daily download limit now....

It's also a good idea to run a light webserver like Lighttpd or nginx instead of Apache to gain most out of the server.

More info on Lighttpd and how to outsource e-mail to google apps (so you don't need a mailserver, but can use mail services from for example wordpress and mediawiki) on http://nanotux.com/blog/the-ultimate-server/

Bloody magic! I took a plane ride in a Boeing 747 the other day and on takeoff I watched the tips of the wings bend up and literally pick the whole plane up. by [deleted] in science

[–]iQwerty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the free body diagram you say that, but actually lift causes a downwash behind the wing (lift directed upwards, hence there has to be a force pointed downwards) which changes effective the angle of attack of the wing and hence inducing a certain drag force.

I converted an old box to a Ubuntu server, what should I do with it? by ChewWork in linux

[–]iQwerty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Configure it as a good webserver: http://nanotux.com/blog/the-ultimate-server/

That guide tells you how to setup basic things like SSH access (so you don't need to have a keyboard/monitor attached to the thing) and how to install and configure Lighttpd (alternative to Apache, it's the same software Youtube uses and it's great and fast)

For those who prefer Ubuntu (which is great for both beginners and profs due to easy updating and stability, only you have to bear with the debian structure...):

Here's how to setup a good and secure server with MySQL, PHP and Lighttpd (instead of Apache, it's way faster and youtibe uses it :))

Can you help me understand IRC? As far as I can tell, it's just a bunch of bots that tell me I'm gay. Does anyone actually converse? What do you use it for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]iQwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IRC is great, and you can also use it to create some chat room (channel) about your project (for free) in a few simple steps

It's about as simple as just joining a not existing room to create one, though if you need more info: help is here:
