How do modify the look and feel of a Sharepoint site?

I somehow got lumbered with deploying SharePoint at work. I hate it, even the simplest things seem to be unnecessarily difficult. I've seen a few resources scattered around, but they all seem to stop short of helping me really take control of the css. Can someone point me in the right direction? EDIT I'm not afraid of the css itself...

Any idea why VS2008 crashes reliably at the end of a solution rebuild?

VS2008 SP1, Winforms solution, VB.NET, compiling for x86 and .NET v2 I have about a dozen projects in the solution, with a couple of Windows forms projects and some class libraries. If I rebuild the solution, it clears out and recompiles all the projects, as you'd expect... ... and then disappears without trace or error message. Sin...

Alternatives to rotating buffers into Players in J2ME?

Due to (quite annoying) limitations on many J2ME phones, audio files cannot be played until they are fully downloaded.

Is there a way to get copy-and-pastable debug output in the Android SDK Emulator?

I have some information generated in the Android Emulator, and the only way I can see to get it out is using the Log class. However, you cannot copy-and-paste from the DDMS log window. This is really annoying as I cannot use the information in another application, for example, without retyping it. Is there a better way to get debug inf...

Remove, replace or disable dynamically-generated ASP.Net js code

I am working with a few .Net 4.0 webforms controls such as the Menu control and while I think it's great that I can now declare the way in which controls are rendered (i.e. as either tables or divs), I can't switch off the automagically-included javascript that manages the hover events for those controls, for example: new Sys.WebForms.M...
