I and everyone I've met so far pronounce it es kwu el. Oh and BTW the letters stand for Structured Query Language.

I'm not a huge fan of CMS's. I have always sort of felt that by using a CMS you end up having a site that looks like someone else's. Guess in reality that doesn't have to be that way if you spent time on customizing the templates, etc. But then again I'd rather spend that time creating my own code.Anyways for blog I have used WordPress which is really neat system and seems to be constantly improving.

AMD Athlon 2600+ Barton here. I use the cooler that came with it and haven't had any problems with heat. My case is is big and I use two cooler on the back.My 2nd computers (which is actually still on pieces on my dining table...) processor is Athlon Thunderbird 1200 and it tends to get quite hot as those thunderbirds all did. Whenever I put that machine together I'll probably have to underclock or come up with better cooling for it. Especially as the plan is to use it as a machine that I have running 24/7.

Umm... PHP and HTML are totally different things. PHP a programming language HTML a markup language. In web PHP cannot replace HTML or any other mark up language for that matter, they're not wrestling in the same league. PHP outputs HTML.

My favourite and I believe some sort of a "standard" on this field is EAC (Exact Audio Copy) with LAME compresser.

That kind of script is actually very easy to program. Just check this description of mail() function in PHP and you should get the idea.

Nothing. But I think it has something to do with spam.

Few months ago I started using Filezille and I gotta say I love it. In addition to all it's greatness it is open source.

That should work on MySQL. And the order is right. See the numbers are just values of the variable p which is incremented on every round of the loop. So "fy" and "yki" are the entries that the database orders.

If you have no previous experience with linux I agree Deivid that Red Hat or Mandrake are probably the best way to go. I have used both and my opinion is that they're not any harder to use than Windows.Just to prove my point I want to mention that I intalled Mandrake Linux on my mom's computer and so far she has had no problems using it. For three weeks time she has had the linux installed, she hasn't called me once for help. However in this time I have helped her three times to get VCR programmed... So if my mom can work with Linux, you can too .

It is possible to be behind same IP address. If computers are connected to a switch/router which uses NAT (network address translation), all the computers have unique IP addresses inside the LAN, but from outside all traffic seems to come from same IP address (ie. the routers address)

If you don't like every site setting cookies to your computer, like I don't , check your browsers cookie settings. For example in Mozilla Firefox you can select that browser asks everytime when a site want to set a cookie. If you feel the cookie is OK then just select "Use my choice for all cookies from this site" and hit accept. If the cookie is from domain like ads.something.com, then I usually select "use my choice..." and hit deny. No more cookies from that advertiser. This, of course, slows the browsing a bit as you have to go through this everytime you go to a new site which is about to set a cookie, but personally I feel it is worth it.In addition to Mozilla, Opera and Netscape have similar features and also some firewalls have abilities to block cookies from certain domains.

Well practically any port number works for http. It is just common habit that if you configure a second or thrid webserver to work from the same address you use xx80 ports.

On what OS? Didn't work under Win 2000.

I'm not familiar with SQL Server 2000, but I'd guess there is a simple datatype TIME? That should be exactly what you are looking for.One option would be to convert the time into seconds and store it as an integer.

The fundamental difference between HTML and XML is that XMl contains information about the information. XML contains data that machines can understand. For example if the word "apple" is mentioned in a document. If the document is written in HTML, computer cannot tell if the writer means the fruit or the computer company. XML would contain the information. That is the simple reason why XML is the future of the web, the semantic web. Having document type that is possible for machine to understand will finally result that the whole web could be treated as an organized database, thus making the searching far more easier than what it is now. Also the improved understanding between machines will open up whole new possibilites for the web and make our lives slightly easier.

80 is the default port for http. So to be accurate it is the default port of unsecured www. It is the port where webservers are usually configured to. Other typical default ports are for example 21 for FTP, 22 for SSH, 23 for Telnet and 6667 for IRC. Change the default port of what? And I doubt that both MSN and Yahoo will work if they are using port 80.

It is really hard to name "best" programming language, especially as the list contains languages designed for completely different tasks. If I were to end up on a deserted island and I could bring only one programming language with me (OMG this is a stupid sentence...) I'd pick C++. But as C++ has few really annoying things, I don't want to vote for it, so I'll just name my three favourites here: C++, Java and PHP. Pascal was the first programming language I learnt so there's a special love-hate relationship to it (biased more on the hate side though...).

Probably nowhere. My quess is that it's their self made-

Really? Can you give some references?

Just out of curiosity... are here anyone for who PHP was a first programming language they learnt?

For RAR files get either PowerArchiver or WinRAR. Should be quite easy to find with a simple good search and I believe that there are atleast free trial versions available of both of them.

Not really. I have listened them though, but in the scene there are lot more better bands.

UDP doesn't replace IP in the protocol stack, it replaces TCP. And IP doesn't care which protocol lies on top of it, it just does it's job .

Well... they aren't actual, they're bits. And they exist on our computers and and in the net, as our computers are the net. Ports are there to define which packets belong to which applications. They are like apartment numbers in snail mail. You can think that the IP address is the house's address and number (ie. Somestreet 11) and port is the apartment number (ie b 4). Simply put UDP is a "fire and forget" protocol. It sends the datagram but doesn't give a **** if it ever mades through. But like Opaque mention UDP has it's uses. Mainly these are for streaming live audio and video. For example on a phone conversation it really doesn't matter if every packet mades through, atleast if the alternative would be increased lag. One packet missing from speech doesn't affect much on how well the actual message is received, but if it was, say a zip file, transfered one inverted bit could mean loss of the entire data. But that's why there are different protocols for different tasks.
