What's the point of browser width when elements will still show up outside of it in a browser window?

I'm working on my first website and I'm so incredibly frustrated with browser width parameters.
Don't judge it yet, but notice that some of the elements will gladly go outside of the browser width... (such as the rock on the right under "portfolio")
http://timdodddummytest.businesscatalyst.com/index.html#top
So I'm struggling with the concept of browser width if things can just go beyond it. How do I hide it behind the browser width so to speak?
Also, what if I wanted this whole site to just be the width of the screen so it looks great on a full screen 27" or something and not just 960 pixels wide? I do have it set for HiDpi but it still only takes up the center third of a larger monitor...
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Regarding the rock on the right, you could add a black frame above the rock to act as a mask.
Regarding full width, you can have your images "scale to fill" under the fitting options when importing an image in a frame.
The only problem with that is the image will increase in size based on the browser width, and based on your design I don't think you want your images scaling up to much based on the parallax scroll layering you have happening. This is where testing is involved to see what it would look like scaled up and down. (see attached link)
Not sure if I would design a site based on a specific screen size, it's a bit safer to go with a smaller width to accommodate multiple screen sizes.
The link below is a way to see how your site will be viewed on multiple screen resolutions.

Hope this helps... Nice site by the way...

What is the point of icloud backup, when you have to plug your iphone into itunes to restore it anyway?

ok im confused now.. What is the point of backing up and restoring your iphone with icloud, when to restore your iphone you have to plug it into itunes anyway? you might as well just restore it from there then shouldnt you?

when to restore your iphone you have to plug it into itunes anyway?
But you don't. You can restore your phone data direct from iCloud wirelessly without a computer.

What's the point of recovery partition when I have to DL the whole thing anyway?

Well I was supposed to sell my Macbook Air today.
I tried booting CMD-R into the recovery partition and instead it went to some online thing.
So then I booted Option, into the recovery partition and clicked on Reinstall Mountain Lion.
Next thing ya know its got me logging into the Apple Store and now it has a 7 hour download.
So what is the point of the recovery partition if it can't do a fresh copy of Mountain Lion? What exactly is it to help me recover from? What if I was in the hills of Indonesia and tried to do this?
Any now I can't sell this thing until tomorrow as I have a seven hour download wait ahead of me. Had I knows, I would have let that be the new owners problem. Or somehow made a backup of ML previously.
Silly Apple. Always advertising something so great that turns out to be useless.

The silly part is not alerting the user that when you download and install that the .ESD installer package will be deleted and to make a copy of it.
The system you download - guesstimates can be way off - check with speedtest.net - is associated with YOU and your Apple ID and the best thing to do is any OEM material and a blank hard drive - and printout of ML Recovery Mode tech article on doing an internet based install.
Yes you could have setup a 4GB installer flash drive or on your hard drive. Yes they could maintain that 4GB on a larger Recovery partition (it is less than 1GB).

What's the point of a contract when Verizon can cancel it any time?

I live in an apartment and have a two years contract with Verizon Fios which I signed back in Jan of this year. There is some issue in my apartment unit and my apartment management is transfering me to a ground floor unit in the same building. When I initiated the service transfer request with Verizon, they wanted me to drop my two year contract and sign a new two year contract with a significantly higher monthly fees. What's the point of two year contract that I signed back in January?

Technically you broke the contract by moving.

The gmail and Dell start up page will not show content. it says a conflict with browser. don't know what that means.

I'm unable to find what is wrong or how to fix. I also could not view video on websites as per usual but now that seems to be okay again, whether it was something I did or other mystery.

I don't know if this will work and I know nothing about the BT homehub, but it's worth a shot. Reboot the hub, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Wait until the hub fully boots ups and then see if the iPad will recognize it.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS FORUM?

What is the point of this forum when over half the questions go unanswered?
In fact, what is the point of creating and selling a product that so many people can't even install without an expert looking over their shoulder?
This really sucks! I am really sorry that I elected a major in Oracle Development.

Erin,
There are reasons for doing controlled releases, and your implementation experience with prior upgrades is one of them.
Doing an upgrade requires the management of the underlying repository, the underlying repository has changed significantly from 309 to 902 owing to the introduction of OID and other significant changes to the architecture.
Running a controlled release allows Oracle to ensure that the final upgrade scripts when made publicly available are as solid and bug-free as possible whilst allowing those customers who wish to upgrade sooner rather than later and take part in the feedback process can do so with the knowledge that Oracle can help them should they come across any issues.
We currently have over 150 customers running the upgrade scripts and providing feedback, so much so that we are hoping to release them publicly in the very near future.
On another note, I should point out that in your post you are referring to DB upgrade versions and not Application Server upgrade versions..

What is the point of a back-up?

After updating my 4s from os 6.1 to 7 I lost all my apps and my music, why are music and apps not included in a full phone backup? What is the point of a backup if everything will be wiped and cannot be recovered?

There IS "warning" or information about what is stored in a backup. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946.
Apple does make the assumption that you will keep your music in iTunes on your computer, because if you don't the next time you connect the phone to your computer and sync the music will be erased. Or if you don't that you will take advantage of iTunes Match for music not from the iTunes store.
The point is why didn't you keep the music in iTunes? It can't be because it takes up too much space, because if your music was in your backup it would take up just as much space.

What's the point when most browsers are NOT Safari ?

I’m using a Mac of course (since 1996) but also have other browsers installed like Firefox, SeaMonkey & Camino (formerly Mozilla).
Spending MANY hours redesigning my old site, formatting and creating really nice FX that render perfectly on Safari, FAIL to render properly on the aforementioned browsers.
Since most people on the planet are not using Macs or Safari, what is the point of using iWeb08 if the rest of the word cannot see your site as intended? I used to use Mozilla Composer for the last couple of years and I never had any issues with my pages rendering incorrectly...
Try for yourself, visit www.dpkmusic.com on Safari to see what it’s supposed to look like. Then visit it on any other browser. You’ll see what I’m talking about. Unless I’m horribly mistaken and I’m doing something terribly wrong...
I’d appreciate it if some one can let me know if this really is the case. Thanks.
(And yes, I did use the Apple Feedback link already about this matter.)

Out of curiosity, did you shadow the text IN the text box, or the text box itself??? I couldn't figure out why my shadows were too dark and others not when I found that you can do it either (or both) ways. I don't remember now whey I decided the text was better because clearly clicking the box is easier.
Anyway, text shadows & reflections are one thing that do work ok on my web page (my first). I think Georgia which is what I used for body text because I wanted to use something different than Times New Roman for a change but still be 'web friendly' looks weird on the PC/Firefox, kind of moth eaten, although it looks just fine on my Mac/Firefox, might be a resolution issue, I dunno, and the least of my problems right now.
I am also a refugee of the upgrade problem. I just found the solutions here yesterday and plan to work on it today. In my case as a newbie, using a program for newbies, I never encountered the domain.site file while building my entire site so I thought I was backing up when I kept publishing to successive folders to mark my progress. No, I didn't read the Read Me file to back it up when I upgraded, I usually do....
One new thing to mention, I was just checking my fonts to answer your question and clicked on our About Us page (the site is for my lab) and the pics were completely rearranged!!! I moved to another page and back and then they were in correct/matching order. Anybody have this happen???
Best of luck to all, and thanks for all who have done so much problem solving so far.

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
in the US with verified billing address in the US.
You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
the aforesaid conditions.

What is the point of the download window if you use stacks?

Greetings,
One of the most annoying things about the download window was the fact that the window always hung around after completing dowloads in Tiger when using safari. To me, that was just a time waster of always pressing Apple+W to close that window.
When Leopard was released, I was excited to realize that one function of the download stack was to recevie downloads from safari after completed. However, after completion, the download window still sticks around and I still have to close it... then navigate to my stack of downloads to mount the image. What is the point of the download window is I use stacks now? Why can't the window disappear after completion?
//Cheers

Aaargh!! Me too - it's so annoying! Firefox has a downloads window as well - I just don't see the point of it. I didn't like it in Tiger either.
As a way to see the progress of downloads, it's fine, but it should at least close when all the downloads are finished, and completed downloads should not display.
Ideally it should look & work exactly like the Copy window in Finder - the one that comes up when you are copying or moving a large file or number of files from one folder to another.
Is there a hack that will make it work like that?

What's the point of warranty?

I am a student coming from Hong Kong to London for postgraduate study. Before I left Hong Kong, I decided to buy a netbook for my lecturers in the UK. Lenovo s10-2 was chosen because the version available in HK comes with 6 cell battery with international warranty and Lenovo Protection Service (against accidental damage).
This is the first Lenovo machine for me. All was well and I was starting to appreciate Lenovo. Suddenly, the LED screen started to flick with white lines moving across the it, just two weeks after I bought it from Hong Kong.
Yesterday, I called the UK support line who initially suggested replacement (because the purchase is last than 30-day old). However, when the agent found out that I bought the machine in Hong Kong, he said I could only get it repairs. Fair enough.
I packed the netbook this afternoon ready to ship it to the repair center. Being not sure about whether or not my proof of purchase was needed, I called the support line again. This time, the agent gave me a "friendly warning" or maybe a management of my expectations.
I was told that Lenovo believes that there is a 99.5% chance that these type of problems are due to “internal damages" caused by users! I was also advised that sending the machine in for repairs risk myself getting into paying 230 pounds (pretty much the purchase cost) to get the LED screen fixed because it is likely to be not covered by warranty. On top of that, I would have to pay 65 pounds even if I want my netbook back after inspection without getting fixed because again, 99.5% chance that "damages by users" would be concluded!
What's the point of warranty? Totally unacceptable. Any thoughts? Should I take the risk?
I only got the machine just over two weeks ago and used for less than 10 times!

seblee,
This bears a bit of looking into to provide you the best answer. Sometimes, the accidental damage policies are only valid in the home country, and I would like to check. If that were to be the case, you would have replacement or repair options in HK, but standard warranty terms would likely apply in UK.
Your situation sounds exceptional, and I'd like to look into this and see what can be done.
Can your send me a private message with your contact information and the serial number from the bottom of the unit?
Sorry that you are having this trouble. Will see how we can help.

0Did you ever have a business scenario where a Numerical column should store values only with a fixed precision and scale ?Lots of business requirements for specific precisions and scales.
A persons Age may required to be stored as whole numbers of no more than 3 digits.
A sum of money may required to be stored with no more than 2 decimal places of accuracy e.g. GB Pounds and Pence or US Dollars and Cents
A unit of length may required to be stored in metres with 2 decimal places for centimetres
A shoe size may be required to be stored with one decimal place for half sizes
etc.
etc.
Yes, you may just create all of them as generic NUMBER datatype, but creating them with precision and scale can provide additional information about the limitations expected for the values stored, especially for things like reporting tools that may use the specified precision and scale to determine how to display the values automatically (by default).
If you start questioning "what's the point?" then you may as well say what's the point in having a NUMBER datatype when we can store numbers in a VARCHAR2 datatype? or what's the point in having a DATE datatype when we can stored dates as VARCHAR2 datatype? etc.
No point in asking such a question because there's almost always a point to these things (and if there isn't they get deprecated in later versions).

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines?

What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines? It's not possible to add any materials or posts to this. I want to avoid having simply a long list of topics that are difficult to manage. When I create a topic in the outline, I can indent it, but then I can't add any posts to it as it doesn't even show up as a heading in course manager.
I've been trying to have some kind of logical organisation of materials, but the only thing you seem to be able to do is have a long list of topics.
Which makes me wonder why the possibility of indenting levels is there at all - it seems to be a completely worthless item.

I guess the point of the indented lists is to provide the user with some description of the topic’s contents. It's a standard convention in the table of contents of books. It might pay to break your course down into a number of courses if the list of topics is getting too unwieldy.
