Platform: Windows XP
Versions tested: CS3, CS3
Problem:
When opening a file or creating a new document in Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS3, you may experience about 10 seconds of waiting time before the document actually shows up. During this time, Photoshop will appear to hang and the Photoshop window may turn blank (white) and refuse to be redrawn. After about 10 seconds, everything returns to normal and no other problems appear - until you want to open another document.
Solution:
It appears that this is due to your default printer being a network printer and the printer cannot be found. Simply setting a different default printer will make this problem go away.
It took me 2 years to figure this out, so I thought I'd post this.
For ages, Microsoft developers have been proud to have a very easy way to develop AJAX interfaces in .NET. Misguided as usual, they don't know the difference between asynchronous and synchronous requests.
But all that may be about to change. jQuery announced that Microsoft is adopting jQuery into their Visual Studio IDE. Already jQuery is being brainwashed and talking about "existing ASP.NET AJAX capabilities". Well, they're not entirely wrong since the technology is actually named "ASP.NET AJAX".
The probably bad news is that Microsoft "will be developing additional controls, or widgets, to run on top of jQuery that will be easily deployable within your .NET applications." Let's hope they're not going to turn jQuery into the abomination that J++ became.
The contest for best post-title is over. I just won it. Now, on to reality.
Did we need another browser? What's up with Google supporting Firefox and then coming out with their own Open Source browser?
I took Google Chrome for a spin as a developer and found out some interesting things. Sure, Google Chrome has no developer toolbar at this moment, but who needs a developer toolbar with all the built-in goodies from Safari? (Thanks Lagaffe). Check out what Google Chrome has to offer for developers.
Until now, people had to rely on Firefox and Firebug to debug their web pages. IE has had a developer toolbar since not too long ago but, face it, nobody develops for IE anymore. We all build things according to standards and then check IE to see where they didn't apply the standards. Right? Well, not entirely. A lot of people still depend on IE as their sole window on the web. This article does not apply to them.
Google chrome may well be the best thing ever to happen in the last year for web developers. Loaded with Apple's Webkit, it has what is probably today's best rendering engine. Webkit/Safari is the only browser that's getting a 100% test result on ACID3. Granted, it's on a developer build and Chrome isn't currently profiting from that build and is stuck at 79% which is slightly better than Safari's current stable release test result.
But how does one take advantage of all the features Chrome has to offer?
