I think I heard a news report where some guy needed to have an MRI or something, and they couldn't have any kind of metal in there so he had to take of his wedding ring, but his fingers had grown quite large since he got married so instead of having them cut the ring, they had them cut off his finger. Now I say thats pretty bad but what made me feel really bad for the guy is after the surgery they couldn't find his ring. They think that somebody stole it, so now he's out a ring, and a finger.I must say that I wouldn't mind loosing my little finger on my left hand since I'm right handed. That wouldn't seem too bad for a million, but a million isn't much these days. I'd probably have to think about it for a while, but if it was 10 million I'd do it without thinking

Nice I like it, is this for a template that you are going to offer on your website for others to use or are you going to use this on your website?I think the links at the top should be css menu's or even flash, and the top needs some kind of image besides just the name. Perhaps a company logo? or even (I can't believe I'm actually suggesting this) a banner would help fill up that blank blue void you have going on at the top of your page.For the news you should add arrows under the content that let you switch between older and newer announcements/news, or whatever content is going to be there. Kind of like an rss ticker.

Even though there has been so much hype about Lost and Heroes, I have yet to see a single episode of either. They sound interesting, but TV isn't really my favorite activity. My two favorite TV series at the moment are Family guy (Fox on Sunday nights - pretty awesome comedy in that one) and EUReKA (SciFi on Tuesday nights - best SciFi channel series EVER!). It depends on what I feel like seeing really. Family guy has one kind of comedy (can't quite describe it ), and eureka has more of a witty comedy. Both are great shows!

Forward To Another Url In Php How to forward to another URL
galexcd replied to Nuwan's topic in Programming
Using javascript the redirect a page is the worst way ever! If you have to do something in the actual code php spits out why not just use meta tag to redirect? -
I also had a terrible experience with braces. Back when I was 13/14, I used to play ice hockey until I had an accident where my front teeth were knocked into the top of my jaw. It looked like they were completely knocked out but xrays prooved otherwise. After a surgury to get em back down I had to wear braces for about 2 years. I HATED them. Worst two years of my life. I hope the pain goes away soon I play the sax too but I started after my braces were off so I never experienced any trouble. Do you play alto, tenor or berry?

For your smilies you can just use a php replace function. You could use preg_replace, but thats kind of a waist because smilies aren't as complex as bbcode so I suggest using str_replace Here is an example of how you would do this: $string=str_replace(array(":)",":P",":D",":("),array("<img src='/emoticons/happy.gif","<img src='/emoticons/toungue.gif","<img src='/emoticons/grin.gif","<img src='/emoticons/sad.gif"),$string);echo $string; or if you find it easier to write it out you could write it like this: $search=array(":)",":P",":D",":(");$replace=array("<img src='/emoticons/happy.gif","<img src='/emoticons/toungue.gif","<img src='/emoticons/grin.gif","<img src='/emoticons/sad.gif");$string=str_replace($search,$replace,$string);echo $string; I found the best way to divide sql results into pages is by using limit. Take in a variable lets say "page" through the url via get, and use this code: $rowsperpage=5; mysql_query("SELECT * FROM whatever your sql query is goes here LIMIT ".($_GET['page']*$rowsperpage-$rowsperpage).",".($_GET['page']*$rowsperpage-1));You should also add checks to make sure that $_GET['page'] is greater than 0

I Hate My Treacher *Teacher* ??? see second post...
galexcd replied to SuperMonkeyMan's topic in The Vent
It wasn't your spelling error that made me post that, I just hate 8th graders who pretend like they have loads of hard homework when really they have no idea what hard homework really is. I had to write a 6 page paper about a subject I do not even know in 2 nights so don't cuss at me. I only made fun of your spelling error as a means to make fun of you. Haha thanks Mermaid -
I Hate My Treacher *Teacher* ??? see second post...
galexcd replied to SuperMonkeyMan's topic in The Vent
<sarcastic>Yes I hate treachers too. How dare they treach us stuff, i really don't want to be treached. Treachers who give you 1000000000 pounds of homework are the worst kind of treachers! I mean its hard enough to walk home without that 1000000000 pounds weighing you down. Thankfully in school I never had any treachers, I had just normal every day teachers! And I must say, if I actually weighed all of my homework I think it might just come out to be less than one pound.</sarcastic>If your having so much trouble in 8th grade just wait till your in high school, or if you even make it that far, higher education... -
Woah beautiful glass/aqua os X look! Is that what you were aiming for because you hit it PERFECTLY!The second closer up logo looks like it could be an icon to one of my applications. What proggy did you use to make em?

Widescreen Resolutions In Ubuntu 7.04 Sorta need help
galexcd replied to dre's topic in Operating Systems
I actually have a problem with changing the resolution on my widescreen in ubuntu. I have a 23" flat panel apple cinema display display and it is supposed to be able to do 1920x1200, and when running mac osx it runs fine so there's nothing wrong with the screen, but in Ubuntu, 1920x1200 is one of the options under the resolution menu, but when changing it the screen looks like i just changed the frame rate to something it doesn't like. I don't know I'm not really into displays and stuff so I dont know how to describe it other than saying it looks like when you degauss a crt monitor and i have to restart to fix it... -
alright you can send data with flash using the loadVars if you add the string POST to the last paramater. Have it send the data of the form to a php file which has the mail function in it and sends you the data.

Thats... Interesting, but how do we know there are whales down there and not some other strange animal no human has ever seen before? Perhaps there is an alien race living down there in enormous glass structures mocking our every move and our ignorance of their existence

Whats Important To You When Designing Your Web?
galexcd replied to Ninkul's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Unlike what alot of the members have posted here minimalistic and "dial-up friendly" websites are not exactly what I go for. I am more interested it making a classy (a website with lots of images and smooth either glass or 3d-looking curves but NOT FLASHY) I love tables and everything organized nicely, I don't like websites with tons of animated annoying gif images or strange background colors. In my opinion your background color should not be colorful at all. It should either be white, black, or a shade of gray, and if you must use a color, make it very muted, either so dark its almost black or so light its almost white. In my opinion this makes the website look professional and not like you just threw it together in a few seconds. I must say though if your website is coded with php this isn't much of an issue, just those terrible html only websites *hissss* -
Placement Of Ads Am I placing it in the right place?
galexcd replied to sven7's topic in Search Engines
Why would that be against google's ToS?Google has no rules against physically where on your site it is, they have suggestions where they can be to get the most clicks but they don't care about that that should be more of your concern than theirs. Google only cares that your not offering any kind of incentive for users to click on your ads, and that you have any inappropriate content on the website with the ads on it. But you're the one who signed up for adsense and promised google when signing up that you read their ToS, why are you having the people on Xisto doing your dirty work for you? -
I once saw a store selling this thing that had a small speaker and a small mic on one end and the other end was a telephone cable, so you could connect your comp to the internet over your cell phone. Actually it was a long time ago, so probably wasn't for cell phones, it was probably for pay phones Anyway this sounds like a great idea... I've always wanted to try it.

Too Many Page Requests=temp Ip Ban? [resolved]
galexcd replied to galexcd's topic in Web Hosting Support
I think the only problem with the ajax chat is that it makes requests too frequently. As I mentioned in my previous post, its not just the ajax chat that makes the server stop responding to your IP, its frequent requests. If i click on links or refresh the current page more than about 5 times in a time span of about 30 seconds it seems to all of a sudden stop responding to that IP.This is fairly recent too. I don't remember my website doing anything like this before. -
Ok, I don't want you to take this the wrong way or anything but your last post made you sound like an idiot. Once again, don't take this the wrong way, I'm sure you are very intelligent but: 1: were you trying to spell accident here? 2: Why would it cost "millions of dollars" to fix my car if i got into an "existent", if that was true, I could buy 40 brand new honda civic SI's for the same price it would cost to fix my old one (i got mine for 25 grand) 3: I'm pretty sure new cars are made out of much better materials and won't be destroyed nearly enough as old cars are 4: Japanese cars are known for being great cars and have great crash test reports, so what exactly was the point of your last post?

Whenever anybody on my website makes too many page requests, or hangs out in the javascript chat too long (my js chat uses ajax to dynamically load data from a php page) the server stops sending data to that IP, but only that IP because when it happens to me or one of my friends other networks are still able to access it. Is this some kind of feature on the server to help preserve bandwidth, because its really annoying. Is there a way to turn it off or at least let it have a little more tolerance because whenever I'm on my own website I'm too scared to click on too much stuff in fear I might without warning have to suddenly look at a "could not connect to server" error message.

Ok we've all heard of the Mentos+coke experiment, and if your like me you're already so annoyed by all the stupid different videos and everybody constantly bringing it up, and normally I wouldn't even talk about it, but I did have an ingenious idea yesterday. We freeze mentos in ice cubes ahead of time, then we throw a party, where we serve coke (of course) with these ice cubes. Just imagine what would ensue! :PTalk about chaos!
