Programming, .NET, Silverlight & More

Lets say you have $5000 coming in per month, how much is a safe amount to spend on a mortgage, while still saving some for car payments, other loans, insurance, groceries, emergencies, etc? My dad said a 1/4 of your net income is a good idea per month to spend on your home payments…agree? disagree?

Your father is exactly correct! Listen to him! The people on here that recommend, 33% as a mortgage payment are also the ones who have contributed to the mortgage crisis in this country today! 33% of your net income is too much. It doesn’t leave you any buffer. If you are looking for the best home mortgage rates or want to reduce your mortgage loan payments, check out this site

What are the pros or cons to each. I’ve only used front page and I’ve been told that dreamweaver is better just wondering. Thanks!

FrontPage is proprietary software that adds a bunch of unnecessary and non-validated code. Dreamweaver doesn’t add code, you do the code yourself. It’s also better at cross-browser testing since you can add browsers into it. You would do just as well with Coda (Mac) or Notepad ++.

What are those net traps you see in the movies in jungles? When people walk on them, the net will just shoot up and they are trapped. What are they called, and if anyone knows, how do you make them?

Please forgive eddie… the atmosphere of his home planet doesn’t support life.

I currently have a website, but i now have created an newer version. I’m trying to upload my new site to replace the old site, but every time I try to upload it, the old site is still there. I’m using dreamweaver CS3 and need this site up asap. Please could someone help me, feel free to ask me any questions.

Your site will be stored on a web server with the hosting provider you can access it either by FTP or by another means the provider has given you. You need to login to the FTP site and delete the old site then upload the new site that way. New files will not replace old files on FTP servers they just get renamed to something like Index(!).html etc. You need to delete the old one first then uplaod the new one.

!! Always Backup your files before you delete them !!

I am in the Navy and will be shipping off to boot camp soon. After that, it’s off to Navy Nuclear Power School. I would like to take some computer programming classes during my off time if possible. I’ve always loved PC gaming but could never actually understand the scripting in gaming mods let alone actually create my own mods. Also, on a more serious note, much of what I will use later in my career will be very computer heavy, so I would like to have a good understanding of computer languages.

When I was in the Navy, there were plenty of schools available and correspondence courses. Check them out first after you join up. You also might be able to qualify for a Pell Grant and take courses from a university like Ohio U.

The last one I saw was, I think for ‘96 where after the taxes gained were figured in, the net loss was 20 billion a year.

Not really sure..
Take into consideration- the level of work that these people do, most of them would not make enough money to require payment of taxes. Quite the contrary, I believe.

If they were filing tax returns on their earnings, they would likely qualify for the Earned Income Credit. This would mean they’d COST the Federal Government money, instead of increasing tax revenues.

I am .NET programmer with 8+ years of programming experience , soon to become a PR (hopefully!). Would like to know if there are many jobs out there in this field in Sydney. What is an average programmer salary like ? Thanks much.

Your employment prospects should be good. It may take 2 months or so to get a good job as the economy is a bit slow. You should be able to get at least 75k or more if you can find work inhouse for a bank or in the mining industry.

Okay, I am designing a website for a shop I used to work at, and I created a logo with a transparent background. I am trying to figure out how to import it (while still retaining the transparent background) into a Dreamweaver site. Every time I try to do it, it shows a white background for the 250×250 logo on the site, but I want the background to be completely transparent. How can I do this? Thanks in advance!

You need to save it as a PNG or GIF to use transparency on a web page. JPEG doesn’t support transparency in an image. Remember however, some older browsers don’t display PNGs with transparency.

I have a Apple Power PC Powerbook in which Silverlight 3.0 is installed, but I still cannot watch movies with the stream instantly feature. Is there any way to kill Netflix?

Here’s the system requirements for the Mac. Bottom line, you need an Intel based Mac and you have a PPC based one. Only solution is to get a new Mac unfortunately.

Mac OS X requirements: an Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.8 or later; Safari 3 or higher; Firefox 2 or higher; 1 GB RAM.

I’ve been using the computers at my university to work on the site, but I got the program today so I jumped all my files from the school’s computers to my computer. I’ve been editing, and I’m just now noticing that things are saving in DreamWeaver, but they’re not showing up on my site. Why?

Read the directions for starting with Dreamweaver. You need to make a projects folder and install all your files in exactly the same relationship as they were at work. Then DW will inform you that any new files are not in your Projects folder and ask you if you want to move/copy it to that folder. This way, when you set up the FTP function to Publish any new or updated files, everything will work correctly online.
