What's the best way to view my site in other browsers?

I want to set up a work station at home - I have a new laptop, an old broken laptop, and an old (working) desktop PC.
I'd like to put all the browsers on the desktop PC, and use the broken laptop - if possible - as an external display for it. But my real question is - how do I install multiple versions of one browser on a single computer (IE 4.0, 5.0, 6.0) and is it possible to see how it would run on MAC while using a PC? Is that a dumb question?
I thought I heard something about Linux having a program that can check different browsers - anyone know anything about this? Anyone suggest replacing XP on the desktop with linux?

CROSS BROWSER TESTING
It's a good idea to install 4 major browsers on your good working PC;
Firefox, IE7 or 8, Opera, Safari for Win or Google Chrome.
For all the rest, you can use these resources:

What is the best way to view images on an External Hard Drive?

I have a Macbook Pro with the latest OS X Yosemite
Can anyone tell me the best way to easily view thumbnail images on the external hard drive because at present I am having to open each folder and would ideally like to see all thumbnail images in similarity to what Adobe Bridge has! (I have not got Adobe Bridge).
Any pointers or advice please?

What is the best way to view Batman and Love Boat to see their transitions?

David Brewer, you mentioned Batman and Love Boat as providing bad examples of transitions, IYHO. How do you think I could most easily see them in this year? Netflix?
Other viewers - shy off from responding to this. This is for David Brewer.

oh, i cannot not respond to this one.
"batman", the tv series? still, in my mind, one of the best produced shows ever. the "pow" cartoon box transitions were awesome! in many ways, i felt "sin city" drew a lot from the batman series. i have a batman movie in my dvd collection. i'm sure you can find dvds of the series. "google" springs to mind.
"the love boat" on the other hand, well, i have no idea where you'd find it and it's probably good that it's not resurrected.

What is the best way to view FLV files?

I remember installing a plug-in for QuickTime that would allow FLV movies to be viewed. (How do you know what plug-ins you have anyway?)
With QuickTime, the longer the FLV movie is, the more the audio and video go out of sync.
Any opinions on standalone FLV players that are not QuickTime-based?

You need Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

What is the best way to view your iphoto camera subject in bright sunlight?

Hi, In trying to take photos in bright sunlight with my iPhone4, I can't see what I want to take pictures of. What can I do to help? Thank you.

The problem I have is with the shinny screen in iPhone4 I can see essentially nothing such as the icons or if I am taking a picture it is as if I am looking in a mirror and see myself and not the subject. (Yes the camera is set to take a picture of the subject and not of me.)
I don't use any kind of screen protector, and I have, so far, been able to move to a different angle for a picture so that the sun doesn't fall directly on the screen from an angle where I can't see the icons. Rather difficult to frame the picture, though. I have even MORE trouble with my Kodak Z950 screen. Now that summer is approaching (in Texas at least), I may carry some black cloth around with me....

I lost flip4mac when I installed mavericks. What is the best way to view windows media?

I can't view windows media since I installed mavericks. I found out that flip4mac didn't install with mavericks. Is there an apple app to replace flip4mac or should I just get another flip4mac. The icon is still there but none of the software seems to be present.

Try VLC media player it seems to play almost any codec.

What is the best way to open a .sit file?

I downloaded my first .sit file today and thought double-clicking on it would open it with Stuffit Expander (which I also thought was included software, but apparently not -- at least not according to Spotlight). Instead, it for some reason defaulted to Microsoft Word to open it. Since the .sit file is a program that of course didn't work.
When I checked VersionTracker I noticed that Stuffit Expander has a pretty mediocre user rating.
*Is there a preferred way to expand .sit files?*
Replies appreciated.

I don't know but its MacUpdate rating is 3 stars (out of 5) and its VersionTracker rating is 2 stars (out of 5), so I concluded there must be something about it people aren't happy with.

If you click the book icon on the left end of the bookmarks bar you can manage all of your bookmarks. Bookmarks can be added individually to the bar (the shorter the name the more room for bookmarks) or you can create folders of bookmarks that can be accessed from the bookmarks bar.

Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.

What is the best way to replace the Inline Views for better performance ?

Please suggest.

WITH plus /*+ MATERIALIZE */ hint can do good to you.
see below the test case.
SQL> create table hx_my_tbl as select level id, 'karthick' name from dual connect by level <= 5
2 /
Table created.
SQL> insert into hx_my_tbl select level id, 'vimal' name from dual connect by level <= 5
2 /
5 rows created.
SQL> create index hx_my_tbl_idx on hx_my_tbl(id)
2 /
Index created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'hx_my_tbl',cascade=>true)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Now this a normal inline view
SQL> select a.id, b.id, a.name, b.name
2 from (select id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1) a,
3 (select id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1) b

here you can see the table is accessed only once then only the result set generated by the WITH is accessed.

What is the best way to read and manipulate large data in excel files and show them in Sharepoint

Hi ,
I have a large excel file that has 700,000 records in it. The excel file has a few columns that change every day.
What is the best way to read the data form the excel file in fastest and most efficient way.
2 nd Problem,
I have one excel file that has many rows each row contain some data that has certain keywords.
What I want is to segregate the data of rows into respective sheets(tabs ) in the workbook.
for example in rows have following data
1. Alfa
2beta
3 gama
4beta
5gama
6gama
7alfa
in excel
I want there to be 3 tabs now with each of the key words alfa beta and gamma.

Hi,
I don't really see any better options for SharePoint. SharePoint use other production called 'Office Web App' to allow users to view/edit Microsoft Office documents (word, excel etc.). But the web version of excel doesn't support that much records as well
as there's size limitations (probably the default max size is 10MB).
Regarding second problem, I think you need some custom solutions (like a SharePoint timer job/webpart ) to read and present data.
However, if you can reduce the excel file records to something near 16k (which is supported rows in web version of excel) then you can use SharePoint Excel service to refresh data automatically in the excel file in SharePoint from some external sources.
Thanks,

What's the best way to back up to the cloud?

I am going to be traveling in the on a boat in Europe. Access to wifi could be limited and slow. I want to back up my photos and catalog to the cloud as there is potental to lose laptop and external drive. Since I have a 25 mp camera and will be shooting in Raw allot, there will be some big files as each photo could be around 27 gb.
All of my files will be in the My pictures folder LR set up when I set up my new catalog. I planned to back up these folders to the cloud, then send just the new folders each time I add them to LR during import. Then I was going to have the catalog BK that is created each time you close LR (just the data only is in this file) sent to the cloud as well.
Then if my laptop is lost I can copy the back up catalog (just the data file) and the My Pictures file that has all my photos in folders to a new laptop and restore my catalog. I'm told by Adobe help that this won't work as the connection between the photos and the catalog back up will be lost.
Is this correct? And if so, what's a better method.

Thanks Jim, and yes I meant 27 mb. Will be living on a sail boat so there is potential to lose both the laptop and external drive. The cloud was to be my 3rd copy

You really have images that are 27 GB each? I suspect you meant 27 MB. But, even then, I think cloud backup might be cumbersome. I would suggest carrying a small external hard drive. I have a 1 TB USB 3 drive that is really fast and very small. No external power supply. Plug it in, and copy the files. That's what I would do.

What is the best way of dealing with an "implicit coercion" of an array to a sprite?

Hello everyone!
     With continued help from this forum I am getting closer to having a working program. I look forward to being able to help others like myself once I finish learning the AS3 ropes.
     I will briefly explain what I am trying to achieve and then follow it up with my question.
Background
     I have created a 12 x 9 random number grid that populates each cell with a corresponding image based on each cell's numeric value. I have also created a shuffle button that randomizes the numbers in the grid. The problem I am running into is getting my button-click event to clear the current images off the grid in order to assign new ones (i.e. deleting the display stack objects in order to place news ones in the same locations).
Question
     My question is this: what is the best way to handle an implicit coercion from an array to a sprite? I have pasted my entire code below so that you can see how the functions are supposed to work together. My trouble apparently lies with not being able to use an array value with a sprite (the sprite represents the actual arrangement of the grid on the display stack while the array starts out as a number than gets assigned an image which should be passed to the sprite).
============================================================================
package
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;

import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
public class Blanko extends MovieClip
      // Holds 12*9 grid of cells.
      var grid:Sprite;
      // Holds the shuffle button.
      var shuffleButton:Sprite;
      // Equals 12 columns, 9 rows.
      var cols:int = 12;
      var rows:int = 9;
      // Equals number of cells in grid (108).
      var cells:int = cols * rows;
      // Sets cell width and height to 40 pixels.

===========================================================================
     Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rothrock,
     Thank you for the reply. Let me address a few things here in the hopes of allowing you (and others) to better understand my reasoning for doing things in this manner (admittedly, there is probably a much better/easier approach to what I am trying to accomplish which is one of the things I hope to learn/discover from these posts).
     The elements inside my "imageArray" are all individual graphics that I had imported, changed their type to movie clips using .Sprite as their base class (instead of .MovieClip) and then saved as classes. The reason I did this was because the classes could then be referenced via "getDefinitionByName" by each cell value that was being passed to it. In this grid every number from 1 to 9 appears randomly 12 times each (making the 108 cells which populate the grid). I did not, at the time (nor do I now), know of a better method to implement for making sure that each image appears in the cell that has the corresponding value (i.e. every time a cell has the value of 8 then the custom graphic/class "skin8" will be assigned to it so that the viewer will be able to see a more aesthetically pleasing numerical representation, that is to say a slightly more fancy looking number with a picture behind it). I was advised to store these images in an array so that I could destroy them when I reshuffle the grid in order to make room for the new images (but I probably messed up the instructions).
     If the "drawCell" function only returns a sprite rather than the image array itself, doesn't that mean that my "eraseCells" function won't be able to delete the array's children as their values weren't first returned to the global variable which my erasing function is accessing?
     As for the function name "drawCells," you have to keep in mind that a) my program has been redesigned in stages as I add new functionality/remove old functionality (such as removing text labels and formatting which were originally in this function) and b) that my program is called "Blanko."
     I will try and attach an Illustrator exported JPG file that contains the image I am using as the class "skin7" just to give you an example of what I'm trying to use as labels (although it won't let me insert it here in this post, so I will try it in the next post).
Thank you for your help!

What is the best way of creating admin-only parameters for a java iView?

Hi,
I would appreciate some advice from more experienced developers...
The scenario is as follows: I have created an Org Chart maintenance application that generates and renders xml&xsl-based Org Charts. This is the maintenance iView.
I am creating a second iView that points to each org chart(the 'Viewer' iView). This iView will be re-used many times, for different parts of our organisation. My problem is I want the portal administrator to be able to set the specific Org Chart that each instance of the 'viewer' iView points to. This needs to be editable as a configurable property.
I imagine that this is accomplished through the use of properties, what is the best way to accomplish this?
Many thanks,
Mark Hockings

I believe that you should be able to specify the 'personalization' property to be no-dialog. This doesn't allow users to be able to change the property, but can be changed when creating the iView definition
I hope this helps
