  1. I'd recommend looking into Name spaces. It's not exactly what you're looking for but it may certainly help. Unfortunately, I'm not terribly familiar with how to properly implement them. I'm going to research this a bit and report back if I have any suggestions for you.
  2. If you have a backup of all your data, such as applications, contacts, calendars, etc... I would recommend restoring the device. If it gives you an error or doesn't give you the option to do so, you can force it to restore by putting the unit into recovery mode: Reboot the unit (hold down the home + sleep/wake buttons together until the display turns off). Then when you see the apple logo, hold down the home button until you see the iTunes logo appear. Connect the unit to your computer and it should give you the option to restore.Remember, restoring the unit erases all the data off of it, so make sure you have a backup of everything on there first. This should resolve the issue if it is software related.
  3. What perfect timing! I have been very inactive lately in the forums because of work, however friday being my last day at that job I am back and more evil than ever! I'm going back to school however but those long boring lectures are perfect for me to do some evil good on the forums... Also, Thank you OpaQue so much for this opportunity to play a bigger role on the Xisto forums. I won't let you down.
  4. Today I got up at 6am so I could be at work by 7:30... As many of you know I work in tech support. I got to tell some customers that their technology is out of warranty and then get yelled/cussed at, so that's always fun. I worked a bit on our network server so that our network accounts work again. All in all it was a rather long day. I clocked out, sat in traffic for about an hour on the way home and promptly fell asleep. I just work up, it's around 10:00 pm now and I'm wide awake. As I write this I am lurking in 7 different IRC channels among them #linux and #php, trying to fall asleep so I can wake up for my call tomorrow...
  5. Sky, he posted that over 6 moths ago and he has less than 15 posts... Do you honestly believe that he will ever get around to reading your reply?
  6. If I'm reading this code right, it looks like you are storing your member's usernames and passwords in plain text in their cookies. This could be a pretty big security risk for people logging into this website from a public location.
  7. Congratulations Fractured.Logic! You must be so proud!! If you ever have children in your future, you may have something to look forward to. Your children will certainly make the front page when the science community finds the cure for puppet-face.
  8. I'll take back everything I said if you can show me an english (not american) dictionary that lists the definition of dual under duel. I may have been the only one who said anything, but I certainly was not the only one who thought that.
  9. Find & Replace ftw Find: <a href= Replace: <a target="_blank" href= Most basic text editors should be able to do this. And if you still don't want to do that I suppose you could let php do the hard work for you. You will need to rename contact to contact.php or add html as one of the file types that php parses in the php configuration settings file. Put this before any of the code on contact.php <? ob_start() ?> And put this after all the code on contact.php <? $o=str_replace("<a",'<a target="_blank"',ob_get_contents()); ob_end_clean(); echo $o; ?>
  10. Hmm those don't look like the monitors are dueling each other. In fact I'm beginning to wonder if they are even duel monitors at all. They look more like dual monitors than duel monitors. (Tip: Next time spell your words correctly and you'll avoid my sass) Edit: Still doesn't change the fact that both of those operating systems suck... I hope you're rocking the 64-bit version of both XP and Vista or all that ram is meaningless.
  11. How many cores and or processors? Total... Fail... Duel monitors? Do your monitors duel each other or something? If they don't have hands how can they hold guns? Or maybe they duel each other in the way Dennis Weaver dueled that truck driver in the movie "Duel". But then again, your monitors don't have hands so how can they drive? Besides, all of that dueling must be counter productive for you.
  12. I found your app on the appstore, but I don't think anyone is interested in buying an app from someone who can't properly construct a grammatically correct english sentence. You might want to think about rewriting the description because the current state the description is in is nearly impossible to read.
  13. Well hello there, much information has already been shared in this topic but since you are so eager to hear from me, I suppose I'll share some information that I know. So a while back I attempted dual booting Ubuntu with Leopard on my PPC machine and believe when I say: it was a nightmare. Finding any kind of drivers for my graphics and sound cards that could run on a PPC build of linux was impossible, even with my google-fu. In the end, I gave up on that machine and waited until I could afford a brand new MacBook Pro. With it, as Jlhaslip said, I was able to successfully get a triple boot working with Mac os X, Windows XP, and Ubuntu. I even made a topic about how to do it, (it's somewhere buried in these forums). So I'll address your first question first: For Linux distro's, Ubuntu is my favorite, but if you are familiar with Red Hat, I would actually recommend looking into Fedora (preferably with the gnome desktop environment). It has the feel of Red Hat, but with the style and ease of use of Ubuntu. I have never tried Yellow Dog, but if you can't decide try running some of the different distro's from the live CD. It should give you a taste of how the operating system will look and feel. As far as a boot loader goes, Grub works fine on intel macs, but I have not tried it on a PPC so I'm not quite sure if that would be supported. However, all apple computers have a bootloader built into their firmware that activates when you hold down the "Option" (or "Alt") key at boot. That doesn't quite do it for me so I use one called rEFIt. Unfortunately, that bootloader is for Intel machines only, however I managed to find one for PPC named yaboot. I have never tried this so if you decide to use it you'll be on your own. After re-reading my post it does sound like I am being quite pessimistic about running linux on a PPC mac, but don't let that make you give up. I had some pretty bad experiences attempting to get it to work on my machine, however I have read many forum posts on the specific distro's websites of users who have successfully gotten linux to work well on PPC machines. I appreciate your dedication and I would be happy to answer (to the best of my abilities), any other questions you may have.
  14. In a unix terminal you can use the top command to see all processes that are running. You can use the kill command to end certain processes by their IDs, and killall to end processes by their names. Each distro may have their own GUI implementation of this. Perhaps if you tell us what distro you are running I can help you locate a GUI version of top that you may feel more comfortable with.
  15. First of all is it all usb devices or is it just your flash drive? A "usb" does not automatically mean flash drive so stop calling it that because you sound like an idiot. If it is just an issue with your flash drive, it may just be that its file system is one that ubuntu can't recognize. If you have nothing important on the drive try reformatting it in a file system native to ubuntu such as ext2 or ext3. If you are able to read and write to it then, it may just be an issue with the filesystem you chose. Ubuntu should be able to read and write to NTFS, but if you cannot read and write to it you should be able to install a library that allows you to do so.
  16. zakaluka is correct. Quality is everything. The higher quality the cable is, the more shielding it has, and thus the less it is affected by other electromagnetic fields around it. Any interference around the cable causes noise on the line, and could cause packets to drop, and thus having to be resent. This is why a cable with better shielding can transfer data faster, and also stretch longer distances.
  17. I know exactly what you are talking about. Dan Brown is one of my favorite authors, however, as I mentioned in this post of mine, I have read so many of his books that by the time I was reading Deception Point I was able to correctly predict what was going to happen. The antagonist is always the last character you expected. However, even with this "formula" he uses, I still enjoy his books a lot. And with the exception of Tolkien, his books are the only ones I have ever enjoyed.
  18. Ah yes, I heard about this. Unfortunately I wasn't incredibly informed on the issue before reading the article you quoted. I just watch a short news report on it, but I am glad that the captain is safe. One thing that sort of irks me however, when our president was asked about the issue, (before the captain was freed), he told the news reporter that he was too busy to deal with it. Too busy dealing with what? Raising our taxes to fix the social and economical issues here in the US? I'm fairly certain that the lives of our fellow human beings should be deemed much more important than raising our taxes. Anyway, that was just my small rant on the matter.
  19. Linux still uses RAM, if it only used the swap partition the OS would be excruciatingly slow (unless your hard drive is solid state). It uses the swap file to store temporary information that one might not want to loose if the computer. were to be rebooted. Although not recommended, linux will run just fine without the swap partition.
  20. Ah, when I read the title, I thought for a moment that you were referring to lucid dreaming, which is an interesting topic, but I have never experienced it. I have however, recently (for about the past 3 months), been extremely angry with my sub-conscious because of the terrible experience i have every time I dream. It throws stuff like this at me all the time, I've even come to occasionally questioning if I am really dreaming or not when I am awake in the early morning. It may be due to a lack of sleep but whenever I wake up now my subconscious still seems to want to control my thoughts; I am unable to think clearly, and I make the strangest logic in my head, and the pathetic part is it usually has to do about programming. For example I wake up and I tell myself that the variable move isn't assigned to true yet and therefore I cannot get up and go to work/school, which seems like a perfectly sensible and logical reason not to get up at that moment. And it is not until about a half an hour later that I actually realize how odd that thought really was...
  21. I find it interesting that I was mentioned even though I am not or have ever been an admin or mod and I haven't written a single line of code for Xisto. Just an ordinary member like anyone else.
  22. Money making forum? This is the HOT NEWS!! forum... Also, I have the say in when April fools starts and ends for my own posts, and third, anyone who actually believes this needs to brush up on their knowledge of how the internet works...
  23. As many of you, I am sure, have already heard, the Internet is was rebooted today (April 1st), at 11.59am UTC. Many have questioned why this reboot is necessary, a spokesperson of a global consortium of Internet service providers had this to say: Not to worry though, the entire Internet was backed up on some blank CD-R's and it was restored to it's original state a few minutes after the reboot. It was advised to turn off all web browsers and all other Internet applications such as email clients during the down time. Unfortunately there were recent news reports that some of the technicians were hospitalized today by a few malicious Internet users who continued to use the web during the reboot despite the warnings. Doctors say they will however, make a full recovery. Source: https://www.sitepoint.com/internet-reboot-today/ P.S. Happy April 1st!!
  24. I have well over $60 that I have not spent yet, but thats mainly because I'm here to post on the forums, not for the free web hosting.
  25. I'm just sort of curious, what advantage is there to having my name next to the clock rather than more useful information such as AM or PM?
