Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have subsequently ID'd it as a Minox model B, the preferred camera of spys and spy flicks for over 70 years.

Ooh. I've always wanted one of those. Funny about how it was mistaken for a digital camera.

So, Adobe Flash insists that i update. I do. Then I have to restart, which I didn't want to do right that second, so now any site with flash didn't work. I finally restart, and now I still have to download some other plugin. WTF? THIS is why I don't update shit. It's more trouble than it's worth.

A quick google suggests that FileMerlin has a trial version. (Don't know how good a program FileMerlin is, or whether the particular features you would need are disabled in the free download.) FileMelin does include WordStar translation.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Vortex, what prompted the request to update Adobe Flash? I've heard about some malware exploits using that. A quick google turns up: [link] and [link]

ISTR that the exploit prompts you to install v9 of Flash. My current version is 10,0,12,36

You can check your installed version here: [link]

It wasn't an email, it was a pop up update, so i thought it was legit.

Hey. New board.

Hi Hive.

I'm playing around, yet again, with creating a web page, and have run into a basic CSS problem that I just can't solve.

I want the top of my page to have some title text and a subtitle to the left, with a picture to the right. The picture may change size based on other inputs, but i always want the title text to be aligned with the bottom of the picture. For some reason, i can't figure out how to make this work - honestly, I'm still wrapping my head around divs and classes and boxes and so forth, and get myself confused a lot. Float Right seems to make it hard to align text with the bottom of the picture.

What I want is this:

                     ________________
                    |              |
                    |  Picture     |
                    |              |
   TITLE TEXT       |              |
  subtitle text     ----------------
All other stuff goes down here.

Any help?
