If I understand you correctly you want to make a character, a sort of person who stands there and makes all the signs that read the user whatever the screen displays? If so, then I'd say you're best of just using one of Microsoft's Agents.You can model your own and give them guestures, which you can then with it's API execute. I think you'll find them to be the best solution for what you're attempting. Writing an entire OpenGl application for this is great but not advicable. It's pointless reinventing the wheel, and it would only needlessly slow down your project, or even make it come to a stop, since writing OpenGl applications isn't easy if you never have before. Good Luck.

Actually, it's an ok browser, my reaction may have been a bit extreme, but that's caused by the extreme problems it causes. It's what keeps web technology from evolving to a next level. Because of IE, we're stuck in the old things, XHTML, CSS 2&3, etc, have no chance. They're absolutely amasing technologies and stunningly beautiful, but because IE is not being updated and doesn't support these, or supports them very buggily, they cannot evolve. And the web becomes outdated.

Belgian here. I see two more are from belgium.

Then you need to have a background process running. Log in with SSH and start the process, press Ctrl-Z, you'll see that the process is Stopped. Type "bg" to send it to the background and it'll continue in the background. Typing "fg" will bring it back to the foreground.I'm not sure whether background processes are allowed, though.

What do you mean with optimize? And how would using very small variables even optimize a program? Optimizing JavaScript code for execution speed is one bloody dodgy thing to do, if that's what you mean. JavaScript is one of the most horrible languages ever to be created, and messing with it, always results in inexplicable random errors everywhere. Especially against the Microsoft Internet Explorer JavaScript Interpreter..

How do you mean, never stopped? The output is going to have to end somewhere if you ever want to be able to output it.If you mean like a script in the background that changes the database every so ofter or so, then that's something completely diffrent.Your script needs to give some sort of output, be it HTML, an Image, or whatever is of use in your web application, but I'm reconing you're not planning on uninteruptedly sending and sending output to your users that enter your page......

Many of these options are hard to compare, though. They all have their uses and many of the functionalities aren't comparable at all. Perl can be used for things PHP could never do, and vice versa.Appearantly most like PHP here.. I just voted PHP as I know no others, but I'd love to learn some Perl.By the way, I think using C, C++, Java is just as powerful and dynamic an option as using PHP. These languages aren't specifically designed for this kind of job, but their OO orientation allows them to go way further.Even though I heard PHP's going OO as well..

The only commands you can send are FTP Commands, nothing else. If you want to have shell access, then either log in through SSH (windows: putty) or use SCP or SFTP (A file transfer protocol over SSH) (windows: WinSCP). Good luck.

This has nothing to do with the DIV tag, though. You can apply it to almost any element. It's just some CSS markup. Please do note that the first-letter selector isn't supported by all browsers. (You'll need Internet Explorer 5.5+ for example. Opera & Mozilla support it flawlessly. Internet Explorer is buggy sometimes conscearning it..)

There is no way to do this with the standard windows or unix ftp client. Either get a diffrent client, or tar/zip/rar/whatever your folder, transfer it and untar/unzip/unrar/unwhatever it.Easiest would be using an ftp client like FlashFXP for windows.

I heard a while ago Google deleted accounts that used it. I'm not sure about it, though, nor sure whether they still do. But let this just be a warning to you. Don't put anything on there you wouldn't want to loose tomorrow. Haven't tried it myself, though.

Actually, you have more to an URL than you state here. You forgot the user identification section. protocol://user:pass@subdomain(s).domain.toplevel./path/to/file - protocol being one like http ftp irc ... - user being your username when requesting access to that specific resource. If none specified, most User Agents (browsers for example..) will log in with username Anonymous or blank - pass being the password you use to validate your user credentials. Defaults to a random email adress-like pass for most User Agents, like IEUser@ or just blank - subdomain being the subdomain of the pc where the resource is. Defaults to www for HTTP, or blank - domain being the name of your domain, which includes the toplevel (com, org, net, ...) - path/to/file being the relative path to the resource you're trying to access. Relative towards the home path set by the server you're accessing to find the resource. On UNIX systems, this is Case Sensitive! Mark that after the toplevel domain name there is a dot * this is the root domain. All domains most have it, yet, nowadays, this last dot is omited and implicitly presumed.

Actually, that's normal for any pc.. right, linux filesystems are better, you need never defragment, but you do need to update, if you don't update yourself, you're always ****ed. Normally, if you stay clever there really isn't much too bad about Windows. Just don't rely on it, and protect yourself a little. My opinion, the best anti-virus is the user behind the pc. Btw yeah.. Microsoft and it's rebooting, bloody annoying. Linux rarely needs to reboot. Yet, you're free to switch at any time.

As to quote myself in a remark to currahee's advice to get a malware killer : I personally have Adaware SE. But when I detect malware, the first thing to do is to check what files are really detected, as long as they're just cookies, all is fine, but when there are diffrent kind of things detected, you need to first figure out what programs they came with and uninstall those. Try reinstalling them without added sponsers. (for example, Messenger Plus! has an optional sponser included. During the setup it asks you whether you want to install it. Most people just click Yes, thinking it's a boring license agreement and click next. Let this be a warning for you all to read what the setup says, and not just click away!)

To answer your question:There is only one way to make translucent things on the web, and that's by using 24bit PNGs as background. Works perfectly, as long as the browser of the person that comes on your site supports this. Browser support includes Opera & Firefox (Mozilla) but Internet Explorer does not support this. As IE is the most used browser, this is a huge letdown. There are, nevertheless, ways to get around this. And this is by using the invalid CSS filter (invented by microsoft against the rules of the W3C) to apply a DirectX filter which allows for PNG support. There are, nevertheless, issues with this, because, anything within that translucent window, becomes unclickable. So links inside it will not be clickable etc.. If you're interested, Dean Edwards' IE7 Patch, to bring Internet Explorer a bit up to standards, has all this included and it all does it automatically for you.

All spyware/adware killers will permanently damage your system. Spyware and Adware are only to be removed in one single way, and that is by uninstalling the program it came with. If you use malware killers, then you will damage the malware's uninstall mechanism which means, your pc will never be able to be cleaned again. Sure, they might delete some of the spyware, but you don't really believe that, do you? Companies today have plenty of ways to bypass these methods and hide themselves from these killers. C2 Media for example is practically uneradicatable. If you have some of their dirt, then using a Malware killer will make sure that you will never be able to get rid of it anymore. On topic: Just get Opera or Firefox, and you'll never need to worry about any of that.

MSConfig is a horrible way to do that.. Either do it in registry editor yourself, manually, or get a decent tool like Sysinternals' Autoruns MSConfig copies your entire run sections to run- ones, then copies back those that u want to have running. It's a horrible way for permanent things. It's only to be used to diagnose your system and see which autoruns cause problems when u have some. Which is exactly why it will tell you that you're booting in diagnostics mode after the first time you set that. Sure, you can make it stop saying that, but you'll still be in diagnostics mode, and it's a terrible habit to do things this way. It only just increases the general chaos of stuff. We want them to stay as simple and orderly as they can. By the way, it's really silly to be advicing this to just the general public, because if you don't know what you're doing, you might really break alot of things about your system's working this way. This is a method only professionals should be using. If you really want to speed things up in Windows XP, there are far better ways. For example, set the Prefetch mode to boot only. Or using a tool like Microsoft's BootVis to optimise the boot process : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

And remove the EMBED tag. =P It's illegal HTML. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ As you can see, not there. Not sure whether it was Depricated or just never ever did exist. Probably the last one. Curse those Microsoft people with their uncontrollable urge to dominate and reinvent the rules of HTML.

ASP isn't favored, I see. =P PHP is opensource, extremely well documented, overall accepted as The Server Side language. and ASP is just yet again a marketing attempt from Microsoft to cease customers and get them away from the opensource community. Long live PHP.

HTML is a language designed to put structure in plain text. Mark! HTML is and CANNOT be used to make colour, fonts, sizes etc in text files. This is strictly forbidden by the W3C organisation. They have Deprecated all these functions, and using them is ILLEGAL html. HTML is a very easy language, every HTML file is made based on the following structure: <!DOCTYPE [...]> <html> <head> <title> I am a happy title </title> </head> <body> I am a happy body </body> </html> Every HTML file MUST have all of these elements. A DOCTYPE is very very often forgotten, and a HTML file is invalid without it! Your HEAD contains information about the file. Title, Author, Date, Keywords, Descriptions, Styles, etc. All those go here. Your BODY contains all that will be visible to the user inside the document. This is the actual content of the file. Mark that in HTML there are two types of structures. Block and Inline structures. Everything MUST be inside a structure. (Even if that structure is just the <body> structure, which is block). For example: <p>I am a happy paragraph</p> <--- block <a>I am a happy anchor</a> <--- inline The diffrence is that block elements take up the entire width of their parent structure. The inlines just take up whatever they need. This paragraph here is a block which contains an achor, this underlined thingy here. The anchor is inline, so it takes up what it needs inside the line. The paragraph takes up all the width and looks like an actual Block. For a very good guide to HTML: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (this is actually XHTML, but if you want to start learning HTML now, you best learn XHTML as it's not too diffrent, and will soon replace all HTML that's now the web. So hey, why not.)

Want a piece of my advice, forget JavaScript, use HTML for structure only (NO font tags, colour tags, blink tags underline tags, marquee tags, god, death to demonicness), learn CSS and go here to learn PHP. They have amasingly easy and beautiful tutorials. If you have any questions whatsoever, just ask them, I'd be more than happy to help.

CSS is beautiful. You need only one CSS file, and in that, you need only one decleration for what you want. Just keep to the standards set by W3C. Have a look here for a good reference for CSS: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ IE is ****ed. IE is hell. And IE rapes CSS. So you have two options. Either, fill your CSS file with hacks and bogus to make it compatible with this spawn from evil. Or get this: http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/intro/

Take the frameset definitions out of the body tag. They aren't allowed to be part of the body. Frames aren't in the body of a document. =) And.. keep your HTML Valid, and obide the rules set by W3C please. =) <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd; <html> <head> <title>RadikalSoft Inc.</title> </head> <frameset rows="5,*" border="no"> <frame src="htm/header.htm" scrolling="no" noresize frameborder="no"> <frameset cols="10%,*" border="no"> <frame src="htm/menu.htm" scrolling="no" noresize frameborder="no"> <frame name="Principal" src="htm/principal.htm" scrolling="yes" noresize fr ameborder="no"> </frameset> </frameset> <noframes><body>You need support for frames to see this page!</body></noframes> </html> See where the body is used and what it's use is?
