Greetings,
I'm working on a web based application to scan computers and check which ones are compatible with the components in a database.
I'm going to use ASP.net 2.0, however I need to create an application(Active X based) to scan a PC for hardware information.

Any feedback on how to work with Active X, would be highly appreciated.

Adieu!

I am not a programmer but Spiceworks has a free program that is web based and does the hardware scan part. Might want to look at that. http://www.spiceworks.com/

I have The GIMP version 2.4 something or other on my PC but I use 2.2 with a ton of plug-ins and add-ons. Works for me. I could probably use the same plug-ins and add-ons with version 2.4 but I don't feel like reinstalling all of them, can't see much benefit to doing it.

I thought it was in good humor. I was just afraid you might be telling me to stop using my new favorite program.

One of the best plug-ins I've found for The GIMP is the Resynthesizer, found here: http://logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer

You can see how well it works by clicking on the link, "Removing objects from images": http://logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer/removal

The site is not very clear on how to use the resynthesizer tool but it was worth my taking the time to learn it. If you can't figure it out just drop a note here and I'll post a reply with detailed instructions.

I can imagine something as subtle as a "texture" being a little more difficult to use than "drag & drop." Speaking of which, I'm working on getting the scroll wheel on a Microsoft Bluetooth Intellimouse to work in Debian. Any tips? This

looks like it should be the best of the how-tos I've found, but so far, no joy. I think my xorg.conf is OK, but xmodmap is ticking me off at the moment, not paying attention when I tell it 'button 5 = up.'

What was the original topic of this thread, anyway?

I'm almost a total noob when it comes to Linux. I have installed and used openSuse 10.1 before but that's about the entirety of my Linux experience so I'm no help to you there.

Did you make your current TR avatar? I thought that I saw Tux alone before and now there's a background. Maybe I just remember it wrong.

The original topic looked to be pretty challenging. I wonder if xionraiden got a good grade.

I don't remember exactly, except that I had to add some background color to block out the default TR 'face' avatar. I actually don't use the GIMP as much as calling it my 'favorite' program might have suggested, but when I have used it, I have been very pleased.
