Why not instead of adding salt you just rehash the hash... md5(md5($password)); I'd think that would be the hardest for a hacker to break because the md5 has of the original password will defiantly not be in a database of common dictionary words, and if they use a program trying every single possibility and hashing it (a, b,.... aa, ab, ac.. etc) will have to check 32 letters and would have to incorporate numbers and letters, instead of just a 5-15 long password with usually only letters. Then after finding out the original md5 hash, which would take weeks, they could finaly decrypt the new md5 hash of the password. If you wanted to really annoy them without going with Amezis's extreamly long hash you can add the user id within the inner function: md5(md5($password.$id));Now talk about impossible to crack... I still think the dual md5 encryption is enough, even of the hacker knows the syntax, it will take them forever to figure it out, yet alone get the hash in the first place. You guys are forgetting the hardest part about this whole thing, getting into your database and stealing the hash. I'm sure your websites don't go giving out the hashes for free. It would take a while for a hacker to find a place in your website that he can inject sql to get the hashes.

I personally prefer fedora more than any of the other distros, but I installed ubuntu on an external a while back. The problem with putting it on the same drive as your OSX system is that the disc utility that comes with mac osx cannot partition drives without reformatting the entire drive. This is pretty much what boot camp does, partitions your harddrive without erasing anything, but it dosn't make the extra partition free space, it sets it up for windows to be installed on the intel macs. There is some free software out there, one I found on version tracker is called iPartition. It can partition your drives without erasing the drive. If you are familiar with the console, you can do the whole thing there, but I don't recommend it unless you really know what you are doing. Edit: Sorry, it looks like thats just a demo. You have to pay to get that, but I'm sure if you look around version tracker you'll find something. Also remember, You cannot partition your startup disk while you are working on it. You will have to boot off of an external harddrive or a CD.

If that doesn't work, I know all browsers on the mac store their bookmarks in a plist file in the library in your home folder. I'm not quite sure where at the moment but I'll see if I can find it

That pic doesn't prove that its invite-free all over the world. They can control what content is on their web-page for different areas. I think i heard somewhere that there are still some countries that still need to receive invites before they can sign up.

Looking For New Mmorpg Relatively Like Runescape title says all
galexcd replied to jake92's topic in Computer Gaming
I'm working on a game similar to what you are asking. It will be done in a few months. If you're interested you can see what it's like so far. Graphics are 2d not 3d, but there's a lot more to do than in runescape. If you are interested in playing it you can PM me and i'll give you an account. -
This looks dangerously familiar to netbux, which was a site that worked very similarly except instead of looking at a website, you made a search on a search engine with lots of ads all around. They let you get your first payout so you get excited and refer tons of friends, but right before getting your second payout, they would ban your account saying something like you cheated by using a refresh script, or something similar and you would lose all of your money, and they would just be making all the money on the ads. These websites have a good idea, but they hardly ever work out. If anybody actually gets payed, tell us please!

I'm sure you are requesting for software that works on the windows OS? I'm assuming so because macs are so great that many people feel intimidated to use them. :)Anyway unfortunately, I do not know of any dvd authoring software for windows, but if you buy a mac with a built in dvd burner it comes with an app called iDvd. It's pretty good for a free dvd authoring app. It lets you customize menus and pretty much everything you would ever need, but if you want to go a bit more professional, apple also has Dvd studio pro, which professionally authors DVDs. It has a bit of a steep learning curve, but once you get it you have much more control over the dvd than you do in iDvd. You can manipulate different tracks and menus separately. This means being able to make chapter select pages, subtitles, multiple video and multiple audio tracks, and even defining certain buttons on the remote control to do different functions at different times.

I haven't seen any ads at all on this website. Besides the imagefilez ad at the top of every page I thought this site is ad free. But somehow everybody else on this thread hasn't had any problem understanding what the topic is about. I was trying to figure out where exactly any ads showed up on this forum. Are you talking about Xisto's homepage? All I see on that page is a small box ad for Xisto - Web Hosting.

It's a great idea, but there is a problem that may make this software obsolete soon. More and more companies are monitoring all of the computers via VNC and using this won't help against that. If you do want to be playing games at work make sure that they aren't monitoring what you are doing first. I downloaded it to check it out and didn't find any bugs, but I didn't play with it too much. Good luck with this product. I'm all for the freedom of the worker!

Great tutorial! I still hate java though. I remember learning gui in java about four years ago, and it was hell for me. This probably would have made it a bit easier but I much prefer c++ to java when making gui applications. Anyway great tut! Keep up the good work!

Web Standards Compliance Test For Browsers Check your Browser here
galexcd replied to jlhaslip's topic in The Internet
You say how awful IE is but it looks like firefox failed the test as well. The only browser I could find that didn't fail was safari 3. -
Yes I am running the most recent version. I have a feeling you are right, it might be just a slight error in the javascript that safari is more sensitive to than other browsers. I guess fixing this won't matter much, but it would be nice to see this menu working again!Edit: I also just realized the topic options don't work either. The menu in the top right doesn't do anything in safari. It would be kind of nice if these got fixed.

I've been saying it for years. Why the hell would they make UTC time start at Jan 1 1970? We should have at least reset it back to 0 after the new millennium. Websites that store time will also have similar problems. This bug might not crash all computers around the world, but some websites that aren't prepared ahead of time may be left with huge security holes.

I am on a mac xD. The windows and mac versions have the same engines so they should display the same stuff.
-
No, I cant even open the menu. Nothing happens. This options menu I am talking about: Clicking it doesn't do anything anymore It might be my browser, I'm using the new safari 3.

Watermark Your Image With Simple Php Script found it on the net
galexcd replied to BuffaloHelp's topic in Programming
Oh haha, my bad! I saw the example of the path of the image in the url and I thought that it meant it was actually accessing that url to get the image. -
In your profile page, underneath your personal photo there is a menu called "options". It used to always work for me but recently, clicking on it does nothing! It would be kind of nice if I can view all of my threads and all of my posts again. Those were really the only two options I used in that menu

Watermark Your Image With Simple Php Script found it on the net
galexcd replied to BuffaloHelp's topic in Programming
Ah good old GD library saves the day again, but I think I'm about to bring up a point that nobody has thought of yet... If you are watermarking your image so nobody else can use the original, all somebody would have to do is look at the url of the image, and tadah, they have the path of the original picture! So much for protecting your images :)I'd suggest something i bit more secure. But other than that its great! -
Review My Website - Www.quickgreen.net
galexcd replied to QuickGreen's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Wow, beautiful site mate! It looks professionally done. Very classy looking! The only thing that I must complain about are the forums. They match the color-scheme but not the layout of your website. I really don't like websites whose forums are like this. Makes them feel compleatly detached from the website, as if I was joining a completely different site.Two other very small things:1. There are alot of ads On some of the pages it actually took me a second to realize where the actual content is. Smothering people with ads doesn't make them more likely to click them, makes them less likely.2. I'm all for being random, but isn't this website about getting money? Why are there tutorials like "Clearing Cookies through Internet Explorer 6"?I'm sorry for the negative comments, I'm always this critical. The website is very good, and the layout is stunning. I must say I am very impressed! -
Domains: Where To Find And How To Setup?
galexcd replied to chrisnield's topic in Web Hosting Support
I'd think more about the reliability rather than price. Domains are fairly cheap. A few extra bucks per year is worth a nice solid domain. I have a domain from computing-host and so far no problems. I always liked Xisto - Web Hosting because it never tied me down to it, if I ever wanted to leave there are no contracts holding my domain to them, plus a 60 day guaranty? You can't beat that! -
Lol Hu is on first... That was quite funny xD.. Reminds me of good old days of listening to Abbot and Costello

PHP tries to make your life easier with the session variables and session functions but there are other ways. I never liked the php built in session functions so I just make my own login script. You have 2 sql tables. One holds all the users like normal, and then you add another one called sessions. Under sessions, you have the variables sessionID, userID, and you may also include IP if you want to backcheck the session with an IP address to prevent cookie stealers.When a person logs in, you check the username and password based on the users table, and if its correct, have php make a random group of letters and numbers. Set a cookie on the users computer to this code, and insert a new row into sessions with this code as the sessionID and the users's ID for the userID. On every page that you want to check if the user is logged in or not, have php grab the cookie off of the users computer, find the row with that session, and get the userID.That way php will know what user is currently logged in. If you do not want two people logged into the same username, have php delete all rows from that userID when the person logs in.I hope this helped!

If I were you I'd pm opaque and see what he can do for you. He seems very helpfull! He'll probably come up with a better solution than any of the members can.
