I'm in need of someone who speaks Chinese. I need someone to translate this page for me. I need to know what the improvements are to the 6.1 ROM V2. For some reason my translation tool isn't working (and half the time the translations don't make sense anyway). Any help would be greatly appreciated. The page is here:

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any good solar panel laptop chargers that arent too bulky or arent too expensive. My laptop charger says "65 watts". Also I'm looking for something that can do this that isnt expensive, preferably in the price range of $60 to $120 or around there, but I really dont want to buy something that is over $200, so if you can help me find one that would be great, I really would like one since I have access to lots of sunlight from my room, and where I live it is mostly always sunny, usually no clouds at all in the sky.

Viewing options in Vista

Submitted by Jacob Mastel on July 18, 2008 - 4:27pm

In XP you can set the options in a folder such as what size you want your icons and what you want them ordered by (type, size, etc) but I don't see how to do this is Vista. Is there a way to do it and I'm just not seeing it? Oh and please no comments about how bad Windows and Vista are, or how great Linux is please.

Portable Suite on a DVD-RW?

Submitted by ahoier on July 16, 2008 - 10:26am

OK, I got this DVD-RW Disk in front of me, I popped it in, to install PortableApps Suite to it.

But, Windows wants me to chose "Live FIle System" or "Mastered" to "format" it I guess.

This disk "may" need to be used on/with Macintosh/95/98 machines, so "Live File System" doesn't seem to work there, so I'm thinking "Mastered" - but, from what Im reading, it sounds like using Mastered will not allow me to "re-write" the files.....even though it is a re-writable media?

Moving away from Drupal only install

Submitted by José Pedro Arvela on July 16, 2008 - 7:55am

After finding out that my Drupal install got corrupted (it is a small thing with autocomplete, searched the web, but found nothing, seems to be a mysql tables mess) I have decided that I will move away from a Drupal only install. (that doesn't mean that I will move now Biggrin )

I will get a blogging platform and maybe a forum platform and keep Drupal for the site itself.

Oh, and I'd like to make the site accessible, this means clean markup, clean urls, and sitemap.xml for uploading to search engines.

Do you have any advice?
