  1. hey, well: Xisto & Xisto ARE lower quality, which is only normal.off course, you also have a lot of space & bandwith, but you have to share the same line & server with a lot more other clients. so the server is more stressed, the line more occupied and thus slower.if you want really good & reliable hosting, you have to pay for it, that's it. then you have the right to complain too. i've had some problems with Xisto, but hey, it's a free service and it's as good as it gets for free, so i'm quite happy. however, i'll probably get myself paid hosting. alas, not on computing, but a belgian or dutch company as that's where i live. i think you'll understand the reasons as the price is about the same. support in my language and the guys are awake at the same time as i am, while opaque lives in the us is and wakes up when i have lunch haha, the lazy *bottom*! hehe.
  2. i recently discovered an article that stated that adaware had an agreement with builders of spyware! their explanation was that the spyware caused no treath and therefore they did no longer check it.either way: adaware finds things that spybot doesn't , but mostly it's the other way around.
  3. i think you get one invite/day or 1/mail you send or something like that.every time i give away some of them, they come back bit by bit.i got 49 to give. if anyone wants one, just pm your emailadress. but i guess that by now, everybody that wants one has one
  4. last thing will not solve database shizzle.you'll hava to export your database (with phpmyadmin) to a sql file.then you'll have to make sure that your databaseserver is correct, (if it was localhost, it should work ok. then create a new database using the sql filethen create a user and a password and make sure he has the rights to access the db in all ways you want him to be able. then adjust your code. if you use a config file that has all these settings (dbserver, dbname, dbuser, dbpass,...), it's easy, you only have to adsjust it once. if you're a bad programmer, you'll have to do it many times :Plast thing is to check the rights on the folders. but that should be ok in most of the cases.
  5. i'm affraid nobody can help you but opaque
  6. hehe, microsocopic, i'll tell you why i'm laughing:speed in hertz is not absolute. an apple computer that runs at 1250mhz will go way faster than a p4 at 2000mhz. just like that, a amd at 1800mhz will go as fast as a p4 2,4ghz.the numbers given by amd indicate which pentium processor you can compare it with. so a amd2400 will work about as fast as a p4 2,4ghz, but only run at 1800mhz.it's all in the processor architecture. your friend did a good buy, no matter what he may think :Poverclocking is delicate. you should stay away from it unless you are sure what you're doing.if i'd buy a pc now, i'd go for an amd 64, because it'll be able to handle the next generation of operating systems.almoo, of course you can. that's been possible since the x486 :Phyperthreading means that it seems like you have two processors, so you can do two things at EXACTLY the same timewhen you don't have hyperthreading or multiple processors, it works like this: your processor will execute program 1 for a little while until it has to wait (for example, it's waiting for the harddisk to find data, or for you to type or click or something). meanwhile, it'll continue program2. it'll pause program2 for a second, and meanwhile continue program3, etc...)but your processor is so fast you don't notice it and it seems like all the program run at the same time. and as far as you're concerned, they do. what do we care how it works, as long as it works.
  7. yeah, but you have imesh lite too. i used it a long time ago, when it was still unknown & spyware free it was pretty good, but i dunno how it is now. i'm happy with what i have, i find everything i look for
  8. euhm, even when you use php, you use html. even when you use flash, you use html. there is no way around html. you don't have much of a choice to use it...for scripting, i like php, because it's fast and easy. for bigger companies, i'd go for jsp.
  9. well, john carmac, creater of doom engines, said: if i get problems with the drivers of nvidia, i probably made a mistake somewhere. if it's with ati drivers, i start rewriting their drivers :Pto sum it up: ati & nvidia, hardware just as good. ati maybe even betterbut the drivers are better for nvidia.my gf has an ati 7000 or something like that, and it just keeps crashing
  10. sure, but with fdisk you can't change partitions with files on them, can you? like merging two partitions without losing files, or splitting a partition in two without losing files, etc...qparted is handy indeed. partition magic is user-friendlier i think.dunno about windows freeware that can do the tricks partition magic & qparted can pull off
  11. msgplus gives you the choice wether to install the spyware or not, so that's cool, right? you just have to read the questions they ask. it looks as if they are asking "do you agree with the statement & rules" or something, but the question is "do you agree to install the parner programs" or something alike. just say no.about msn7: i don't want it. i like windows messenger more because it doesn't have all the stupid chit chat that slows down your 'puter.
  12. aight,way back, like everyone, i used napster. then i got kazaa lite, the kazaa version without spyware. that was really fast back then. now, kazaa is full of junk and you won't find all that much on itnow i use soulseek for music. it's cool because you find rare stuff, and you can rightclick on a file and choose "download entire folder". if the other guy neatly stores his albums in seperate folders, you'll get the entire album, nicely stored in a new folder. i love itfor movies, i use bittorrent because it's really fast and you can find a lot of moviesfor really rare stuff, like old movies and especially for software, i use emule. you'll find just about everything on emuledirect connect is good too they say, but i don't use it. i'm too much a leecher for that i have a 1gigabyte upload limit, and dcc causes too much upload.
  13. another way would to make a table with all the allowed signsa,b,c,d,... ,A,B,C,D,... 1,2,3,...let's say you get a table of 80 fields.then you could just pick a random fieldyou could do this in various way: just rand(0,80)if you have doubts about the randomness of rand, you could rand a random times and then start picking your letters$i = rand(0,20);for ($j=0; $j<$i;$j++) rand(0,80);for ($i=0; $i<$passlenght;$i++) $pw =$pw.$array[rand(0,80)];or you could use srandor you could go like rand(0,846854354)%80anything that makes you feel safer
  14. silly me, should've thought of that myself. i'll look into how one can search in the database :Pwonder if you can do it on a shared server. i think the database would contain documents of all hosted sites :sanyway, it's a nice idea, i'll have to look into it one day soon.
  15. it's because, as a lot of things in computerworld, they follow a client-server scenariothe ftp server offers you a service, namely: storage.to access a server, you need a program. he is a client to the server: he asks a service from the server (hey dude, will you store this; or: hey dude, gimme that file, will ya?) and the server helps him out.thats why it's called a client.just the same, you have a mailcient, a mysqlclient,... and for what it's worth, smartftp is probably the best free graphical ftp aroun i like it a lot.
  16. hehe, damn, i referred to here instead of to there i think this topic has the most clear title, so i think it's the best one :Panyway, seems to be servertrouble indeed. hope opaque can come up with a solution soon. is there anyone that can still login by the way?a lot of people, including myself can't login to cpanel or ftp. changed my pw once, got the mail, but still wouldn't work. changed it again, but i haven't got any emails since.
  17. seems to be one big problem. topics are started everywhere about this matter. a lot of people, including myself can't login to cpanel or ftp. changed my pw once, got the mail, but still wouldn't work. changed it again, but i haven't got any emails since. please stop posting here and check this topic: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/82002-topic/?findpost=1064289670=

  19. 1. don't use anything wireless. wireless mouses & keyboards. if you have a wifi card in your computer, get it out. even if there isn't a wireless network up, it could cause interferance.2. check your sound settings (configpanel -> sound), get the screen where you can set the volume of every part of your computer seperate (cdrom, microphone, line-in,...). go to the properties and make sure you check everything and click ok. now you'll see even more parts. mute all of them except the one you need. that might help too.3. how is your sound now by the way?
  20. still stuck on :60gig in laptop100gig in desktop400gig externali'd like one of those external lacie drives of 1TB though :Pi remember having a 513mb worth harddisk. we bought ourselves the very first pentium computer. we paid about 2500$ for a computer with a printer (a brother laserprinter that would print as much as 6!!! pages/minute. wham!) we got a videocard with 1!mb ram, 8mb edo ram, a 14" display,...we had the craziest computer in the neighbourhood. i could play commander keen and later on, GTA1still later, i bought myself a cdwriter, back when those weren't common.it was a 2speed cdwriter! i couldn't copy on the fly, so i had to store the cd on my hd first. butttt... as i had only 513mb of space (of which i had about 350mb free! imagine that! haha. winxp takes about 1gig ) i always had to split up the cd and copy the first half, than read the second half and burn it and close my cd those were the days...
  21. well, haven't seen too much topics about se technology in this forum, however it's named that way :Pbut here we go:for school, i had to make a search engine. i got lucky because it was in asp.net on a windows machine, so i could just use the indexing server included in windows. you have extra filters for pdf files and it searches through doc, xls,...but let's say i wasn't that lucky and had to do it in php on a linux server... how could one do it? i mean: a little search bar that returns wether a file containts the searchwords or not?my idea was to open every file periodicaly and make a database, but that would use a lot of space. and what to do with database-driven sites, that get their site-content from the db?having all your pages crawled every time a search is executed seems a bad idea too...i'm out of inspiration how would you do it? got any good scripts?
  22. another option is to get the code of the keys you're pressing with a keylogger of some kind. and then with that code you could get it blocked. never done so however, it's just a suggestion. i don't have a shutdown button, but i can imagine it's problematic if you press it by accident
  23. installed knoppix? euhrm... knoppix boots from cd and is not installed as far as i know.i got xp & mandrake. three partitions, one ntfs for my windows c:, one fat for storing files from both os' and one ext3 (well, and a swap) for my linux os.installed xp first, then mandrake. chose to do the partitioning in linux myself and worked like a charm. created a lilo bootmenu and that was that. when i had to reinstall xp, i just inserted my linux cd again, booted it into repair mode and restored my bootmenu.easy as hell.
  24. the registry trick should work, but be carefull. registry is a fragile thing.besides, i shouldn't worry to much about it. the program is removed. it's only a few lines in your thousands of lines registry. it won't slow down your computer or anything.
