So I do a Google search for 'DIN 1805 nut nylon' looking for information on this obscure shaft nut and what's the first result?

Very true, unfortunately I'm only ever asking for advice

If anyone needs help growing fruit or veg, trees or whatever please don't hesitate to ask.... (struggling to think of anything else I could be useful on)

I know what you mean! I've always felt bad about that. There may have been a few instances where I've been able to answer a question, but that's the exception to the rule

I'm trying to think of an area where I'd be of some use...saxophone? I've played saxophone for...14 years? I could probably answer some questions about that. Oh, and "grunge" music. That's my specialty. I know all kinds of stuff about that... And maybe some stuff about making DVDs...

crap

Well, thanks again to all you kind people who've helped me out over the years. I really hope I can get out to future meets and thank you all personally.

Alright folks, I need a hand.

First of all, I expect most of you remember -- for some value of remember -- this classic Dilbert:

There was another strip about the difference between S-Q-L and sequel, but my google-fu isn't up to the task. Anyone have a link for it?

Perhaps someone can tell me how to fix my problem with Internet Explorer. While I rarely use it on a day-to-day basis, it is necessary to use it for web development, if only to fix all its issues with CSS.

My problem is this: I have my screen resolution set at 1920 x 1200. At such a resolution, IE takes it upon itself to resize the graphics, creating distortion and sometimes causing positioned elements to be out of place. This poses a real problem with development, as I can't trust the reliability of what I am seeing (which sounds funny, since I can't trust IE's reliability, anyway). I can't find any settings that would cause it to resize everything on its own.

Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings!

Under your IE Options, advanced tab, there should be a checkbox for "enable automatic image resizing".

I think that checkbox only affects when IE is displaying an image by itself (not inline on a page).

In a high dpi display (>=120dpi), IE can be set in the registry to automatically scale graphics to try to match the ratio that the fonts and other stuff are scaled up. It sounds like that's been turned on Cybjorg's computer. Check out the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\UseHR entry in the registry and set it to 0 if it's currently set to 1. You may have to log out to get it to take effect, but when it does, it was display graphics using only the number of pixels that are in the actual graphic itself. The graphics will be tiny on you high dpi screen, but they won't have scaling artifacts at least.

Excellent. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
