Hello everyone!  A common problem for Vista users with Dreamweaver MX is the “Insert>Tables” function; it simply will not work.  I have already posted two articles on this issue providing some fixes for the issue.  In the first article, I show how to make the “Insert Table” function actually do something and that is insert a table.  The only problem with THIS fix is that it doesn’t allow you to change the specs before the table is inserted into your Document.  The second fix is a tip given by a user, and another tip given by me which has worked for a decent ammount of people, but not all (for some it only worked temporarily, then the problem occured again.)  In this tutorial, I will be giving a new fix which will make the “Insert Tables” function work like a charm.

DNS is what has revolutionized and, in many ways, helped create the spectacular online environment we have today, know as the World Wide Web.  We use DNS for virtually everything, from e-mail, to myspace, to online banking, to having internet access itself.  DNS is what converts an ip address (a bunch of numbers that identify a system) to a name like www.funkytower.com, or pop.domain.com, etc.  The flaw which has been found is very scary, as it can potentially change the course of our entire life.  This flaw could allow malicious persons  to duplicate any domain name.

Yes you heard right, the eye camera.  Though not for sale in sotres at all any time soon, reasearchers at the University of Illinois and Northwestern University have developed a camera that can put an entire image into focus.  In contrast to today’s cameras, the eye camera can take images that are sharper near the center than around the edges.

If you’re a web designer, web host, deal with or are remotely interested in Domain Name Servers, then this should be of grave importance to you.

Recently, a huge threat to DNS, the system that translates IP Addresses to unique names (and vice verce), creating URLs such as funkytower.com, has been discovered.  This threat would allow malicious users to impersonate almost any website on the Internet.

According to an article in the New York Times, Delta airlines is supposed to be offering broadband wireless internet access on domestic flights by next summer.  Continental Airlines announced that they plan to offer a very similar service.  There are many others who plan to, or already have a similar service, but on very few flights compared to Delta and Continental.
