When
your boss comes to you, out of the blue, and says “hey, I need
you to create a trade show exhibit,” (say for Gnomedex) where do
you start? Knowing that the the wild world of trade shows is fraught
with design details, tricky logistics, and potentially exorbitant
expenses, it pays to tread carefully. Mess up on that trade show
assignment, and—at the very least—you’ll end up with
a horrendous stack of bills. Mess up…

Since our Game Invasion channel is in full swing, let me
officially throw you into the world of yesterday. While this might
sound like the plot for a "Matrix" movie, I'm actually talking about
the world of digital nostalgia. When you were younger, did you have a
Speak & Spell in your home? We did. "Bongy-boingy. Bingy-booah!" And
if your parents were the kind who believed that electronic gadgets
were the precursor to social dysfunction,... [Continued]

I was trying to get a free iPod to use with my cochlear implant
and learn to listen with it since circumstances don�??t allow me to
invest in gadgets these days (NO pity, please!). Five people signed up
and took advantage of an offer as required. Two of those accounts were
not acceptable by the people behind the Web site. One was entirely my
fault and an oversight. It was Paul�??s account. He and I... [Continued]

A Flag is the most important symbol of any country. There are over
500 flags in the world that represent nations, states, regions, and
provinces. In many countries, any issues surrounding flags lead to
heated political debates or even wars! Several hundred years ago, in
the Middle Ages, any battle ended only after the flags were captured.
Real patriots would rather die then allow an enemy to capture their
flag. There was no bigger shame... [Continued]

With so many files on our computers these days, it can be very
difficult to keep track of them. In some cases, you may need to keep
track of what files are being changed, and what's being changed in
them. For example, think about log files. These files are continuously
updated with new information. Instead of opening the files manually to
see if they've been changed, you can have software do all of the
work... [Continued]

If you are physically seated at a computer, you can easily lock
your workstation by pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL and selecting the Lock
Workstation option. Alternatively you can also press the Windows Logo

feature of Windows XP, you will soon discover that you cannot lock the

course). What you can... [Continued]

I am building a computer for my wife and was going to buy a CPU
heat sink and fan from AJump.com. Their prices seemed awesome and they
have the normal 'terms and conditions' at the bottom of their Web
site, which seem quite reasonable. But when you actually try to buy
something, they have another set of clickthrough 'Terms and Conditions
of Sale' agreements as you are checking out that seem very
unreasonable. Is it... [Continued]

Point-of-sale (POS) software and hardware have transformed the
common cash register. Spurred by the PC revolution, point-of-sale
systems changed the nature of the sales transaction, from the smallest
mom and pop shop to the biggest mega bigbox conglomorate store. Sales
data is instantaneously captured as credit transactions are authorized
and inventory levels are updated. As consumers, we often take these
point-of-sale systems for granted, stopping only to grumble about them
when they don't perform as... [Continued]
