Can someone explain how the background of this site was done?

For learning purposes I'm trying to figure out how they did the background on this site. Some of it I understand but I'm not clear on how the div / class of .mainbackground was done. It's almost like it's partially behind the Content div yet it looks to be in front also, I see there might be some transparency involved but I can't figure it out...here is the site:
http://www.lourdes.edu/donate.aspx

Well, Ok, I kinda got that but I examined it with Firebug and the body has a background repeating image across which I totally understand, it's the div called .mainbackground that I'm not understanding. Here is the CSS for the div I'm confused about:
.mainBackground { background: url("img/mainBackground.jpg") no-repeat scroll center top transparent;
There is a Content div OVER that; how is the .mainBackground div 'under or behind' the Content div?
I don't understand the transparent part either in the above CSS......

Can someone explain how the visit count works? Why would it say I visited a site over 600 times? Anyone know how this counts these visits?

I'm trying to do a detailed log of my computer history. Most of the sites I visited have a visit count of 1, but then I will come across a page that will list 77 or 683 as the visit count. Just wondering if someone can explain how this tracker counts the visits and over what duration of time. Is there a way I can look this up myself?

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

Can someone explain how the -C value drops to the -CL value?

Hi all,
sorry if this question is rather silly but Im trying to understand how the system knows when to change the cache from the -C value to the -CL value in Sybase 12.
The official documentation explains this as
-C = "Sets the initial memory reserved for caching database pages and other database server information".
-CL = "Sets a minimum cache size as a lower limit to dynamic cache resizing".
It also states "This option sets a lower limit to the cache. If -c is specified, and -cl is not specified, then the minimum cache size is set to the initial cache size (the -c setting)".
My question is WHEN and HOW does the system know to drop the amount of Cache from the -C to the -CL values?
Example:
-C 6G -CL 2G
Thanks
David

Hi David,
Two common scenarios where this could happen:
If there is a lack of physical memory available on the host machine, SQL Anywhere will lower it's cache size in response. The processes private working set is checked periodically to make sure the cache is backed by physical memory.
If the sum of all images (dbspaces + temp files + internal overhead) is less the the initial cache size, the database server will run with a cache size sufficient to store this information. In your example of -c 6G -cl 2G, this means that if the sum of all possible data that could be in cache was 1GB, the current cache size would be 2GB (even at startup).
Setting an initial cache size close to the value you expect the cache to be is a good idea, internal structures are initialized at startup based on this value.

Please can someone explain how to retrieve deleted text, I was clearing old text when one came through at the same time so was also deleted.

Can someone please tell me how to retrieve deleted text. i was clearing old texts when a new one came through at the same time and was deleted also. My last update was iOS 8.1.2

You restore from a backup that was created after the text was received but before it was deleted.
But if you literally deleted it right after it came in, then it's not recoverable. Have the other person resend the text.

Can Someone Explain How Xorg Works Like This?

My friend uses Ubuntu, and this is his xorg.conf .
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
I know it says
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
but still. Can someone enlighten me?

I may be missing something but it seems that your friend doesn't need an xorg.conf at all (if that xorg.conf works for him). In fact, until the recent Xorg upgrade, my desktop didn't need an xorg.conf either. What, exactly, is the cause of your bewilderment?

Can't get my godaddy caldav to synchronize with lightning. Can someone explain how they have got this to work?

all help is appreciated

I have. I access the the calendar settings in Go Daddy Workspace and go into the share calendar tab. From there I publish my calendar and have the URL sent to me via the email calendar function. I then create a new network calendar in lightning and use the URL as the location. Lighting creates the calendar and I see it in my left menu but I am unable to put a check into it. Is anyone else having this problem?

Please can someone explain how to delete email addresses? I have people who when I type in their name it comes up with the correct email address but then when you hit return to confirm it promptly changes the name to someone else (always the same someone

Please can someone explain how to delete and email address that when typed in brings up one name but when you hit return to confirm it jumps to another name. I can't find them in my contacts list but they do come up when you type the first few letters of a name.
EG If I type xyz and the name of the person comes up, when I press return to confirm that's the one I want then it jumps to [email protected], always the same def address.
I can't fathom it out.
Thanks
Terri

Try this:
Start a new email. In the To address bar, type in xyz like you normally do, press return to confim, and when the address you want to remove shows up in the address bar, move your cursor over the address you want to delete.
A small triangle next to the name will show up. click on it, a drop down menu will open, click Remove from Previous Recipients List. Then do the drop down menu again and Remove Address.
Good luck.

HT5463 In my opinion, when the Silence setting is "only when the device is locked", it contradicts the settings you set above, like Manual. Can someone explain how these settings work together?

Can someone explain how these settings work together? Manual seams to contraduct the SILENCE setting at the bottom of the Do Not Disturb page. It's very confusing.

You should have seen information in the support document that you linked from. It used to be with the first version of Do Not Disturb that it would only function when the device was locked. That changed with iOS 7, and not it can be active all of the time. With it on Manual, it is on, but if you have the device "awake" that you can still receive calls/texts, etc. Sort of like you have the phone awake, so it isn't a problem for you to receive things. If you set the settings for Always, this means you can be doing things on the phone and not be disturbed by anything else. Does that make sense?

I posted in this thread an example that illustrates how to use the 3d graph to do surfaces ac lines.
The type of data that you present to the 3d graph depends on which mthod you are using. In general you want to present a set of points that need plotted. These points are defined by taking one value for each of the XYZ and sometimes W arrays.
Explanation:
You want to plot a surface that is defined by four point (X0,Y0,Z0,W0), (X1,Y1,Z1,W1), etc. You can present the values using (4) 2-d arrays each of which have four values at index (o,o), (0,1), (1,0) and (1,1).
Thie first point plotted would be the point that is defined by taking (0,0) from each of the arrays.
So as you can see from the above all of your arrays should be of the same size and dimensions for this to work.
Look at the Example i posted in the other thread and try some small experiments with small data sets before you jump to anything complicated.
I hope that helps,

Can someone explain how .prel files work?

Can someone explain how .prel files work? My C drive is O/S and programs, my D drive is storage and the project file(s) (the .prel file) are on my E drive.
How is this supposed to be more efficient/faster? P.E. (C drive) has to constantly communicate back and forth across drives with the .prel file and all the files in the subfolders? It seems like it would be slower.
As I mentioned in a previous post; my zooms in/out of the Timeline are VERY slow. It is almost 1 second before the Timeline gets bigger/smaller. Any info would be great,thanks!

By using multiple HDD's, one is spreading the I/O (Input/Output) load over various HDD's. The controller is faster than a single HDD, being tasked to read/write from/to multiple places. One of the first laws of physics is that an object cannot be in more than one place, at the same time. The heads on a HDD are no different. If requests for multiple reads are made, the heads will position themselves over on place on the platters, read, and then move to the next requested location, and so on. However, with multiple HDD's, and a good, fast controller, the heads of each HDD will be placed, where necessary, so reads are done at once, from multiple locations.
For ultimate performance, a good setup would be as follows:
C:\ system OS and programs (more reading being done here, than writing)
D:\ Project files (PREL's in this case)
E:\ RAID 0 Scratch Disks for Media Cache, but not Render files (both reading and writing)
F:\ RAID 0 Media files (more reading, but also writing)
G:\ RAID 0 Export/Share and Render files
Some go so far as to separate out Audio Assets from Video Assets, and use a separate RAID 0 for each
The downside of that "ultimate performance" setup, is that when a Project is completed, to clean up, one has to go to many HDD's, and locations. There can also be issues when Archiving a Project, because things are scattered about.
I get "good performance" by having my Project, Copies of my Assets and all Scratch Disks on one HDD. What I give up in performance, I make up for with housekeeping chores, when the Project is done. I still spread my OS/programs from my Projects, with separate physical HDD's.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,
Hunt
PS - Above, I mention RAID 0, but even greater speed can be achieved via many HDD's in the Array, and perhaps a RAID 50. RAID 0 is just two physical HDD's. Also, for RAID, I recommend a dedicated RAID controller card, and NOT software, or the MoBo's RAID capability.

Can someone explain why the Secure Easy Setup light on a WRT54G would change from a steady green to steady orange after firmware upgrade? Everything is connecting properly, and I see no change in performance of network other than light change described. Thanks.

The way I understand the Secure Easy Setup button is this.
It will be orange when the router is in normal operation mode. The light turns green when you press the Cisco Systems button (that is orange normally) so that the router will search for the web device you are trying to connect to the router. If you want to disable this feature all together go into your router settings page at 192.168.1.1
Go to the Wireless tab, and then the Advanced Wireless Settings sub-heading, once in there look for the option SecureEasysetup and simply set it to disable (enabled is default) then click the save now and apply the settings. The light should be out now meaning you don't have the Secure Setup feature enabled.
It is just a personal choice to have it on or off, it should not affect router or internet performance unless you hit the button trying to connect a device to the network.

Can someone explain how data is fed to the usage details screen in My Verizon?

Can someone explain to me how I can view my data usage for a past date today and when I look at the same date a few days from now there will be additional data. Customer support were adamant that the data usage details come directly from my device so I commented that my device must be saving usage and sending it to Verizon arbitrarily to which I was met with silence on the line.
Here's an example - on 4/1 I checked my data usage details for the date of 3/21 and it looked like this:
03/21/12
08:43:00 PM
0.02518
03/21/12
09:17:00 AM
0.01475
03/21/12
07:20:00 AM
0.01730
then on 4/7 when I checked my data usage details for the date 3/21 it looked like this:
03/21/12
11:45:00 PM
1.15382
03/21/12
11:38:00 PM
0.24853

The red rows have been added between 4/1 & 4/7, but where did they come from? This is just one example, it's happening all over my bill and Verizon cannot justify the anomaly and certainly won't consider removing the $40 in overage charges I have this month. Which brings up another question, why doesn't Verizon offer more than 10GB for the mifi? If I want to use more data and am willing to pay for it, I have to go to another provider?

Hi kellieh,
When you had your data overage (and the additional spurious charges), how did Verizon respond to you?
I have just reported a 2x discrepancy between individual device data usage (.89 GB total) and the reported 1.5 GB for my account. They claim it will take 72 hours to get back to me after they research the problem.
What avenues did you pursue to make contact?
I caled 611, then emailed tech support, then sent a private message to Verizon Wireless support.

Can someone explain how to set up an administrator account so that I can have my phone and my daughters have separate apple ids?

I mistakenly updated to the latest version of iOS and ever since then I can send messages to my daughter and I receive them but she does not. She has an iphone also and her phone is under my apple id also. Someone told me that I could set up an Administrator Account so that she can still be under my account but she has her own ID and that will fix the problem with text/imessages. I can't find anything on the website that explains how to do that. Can someone explain that to me?
Thanks!

I'm still not clear on what you are trying to accomplish. If you have an iPhone and she does as well you should have your own Apple IDs.
If you want to pay for any purchases she makes with her phone as far as apps/music goes than that is what Family sharing is for.
In my case my Wife and I are setup for family sharing. When she purchases music/apps it charges my credit card. This setup also allows me to share my past music/app purchases with her and vice versa.

Can someone explain how the background of this site was done?
