What makes sites big these days are large pictures and flash-based-sites.It makes you think if flash is really such a good solution for a thing as displaying text information or as a menu/navigation bar. For instance, it's slow, it requires people to have some sort of plugin installed and you can't properly view the sites properly with let's say text-based browsers.Having 2 versions of the same site is just a silly way to keep yourself busy. You'll have 2 sites to debug.If you look at what you need, yu'll probably realize that there isn't any need at all to use flash animations as a component of the site. Of course, flash animations in the content are nice since they are optional, it doesn't obstruct anyone in accessing the site.As for the big pictures, using thumbnails should avoid those problems.

@PureHeartReally? High performance sites require good technology, you said so yourself, so what would be better?Use ASP.NET which has a higher memory usage and is a tad slower than PHP.Use ASP.NET which also means you need to buy IIS, which with it's long long list of unsecurities might guarantee you a crash/hack at least once a day.This also means you need to run on Microsoft again.ORUse php which is:platform independant, you can run it on every kind of server with a wide range of supported OS'es. And therefor adaptive for every kind of hardware situation.Bottom line: Unless you work at a company that has a microsoft preference, it's quite dumb to use ASP.NET.ps. Most webservers run on.. Guess what? Linux, and guess what? ASP.NET doesn't run on that.... Hm....

I can't really prove it, but I think when you click view source Internet explorer searches the some certain windows folders for the thing named 'notepad' and opens up the first one it finds.And somehow it gives the desktop folder a higher priority than the c:\windows folder.Weird bug it is though...

What Is The Easiest Way Transferring Data?
jipman replied to ChaosDealer73's topic in Hardware Workshop
Norton ghost is not going to work nicely, because it's meant to backup things for a single pc and not to redistribute data from one pc to another.Depending on the amount of data you could use DVD+/-RW's, although they only transfer 4,4 GB per time it's good if you don't have much to transfer.Portable Harddrives, works the easiest. But you have to get one, or borrow one from a friend.Linking to pc's together with a CROSSED ethernet cable. Not difficult to install, just have to follow the manual that usually comes with it or find one on the net. Or play around in network settings. Good for transferring great amounts of data, but requires a bit more effort to get it working than with a portable drive. -
As Basic As Sudoku the hand-made math puzzles
jipman replied to magicabloom's topic in Computer Gaming
In holland nowadays newspapers like the (Spits) have started printing sudoku's in them as well. Also, they are showing up more and more, it looks like it's becoming a hype.I know the principles of the puzzle, but it takes me up to 45 minutes to an hour to solve one.ps. I think I saw something on the news that was about a dutch person winning some sudoku championship. -
Last times I tried on any machine it doesn't work. It's a hoax or the firmware of the coke machines have been upgraded by now. Since the article comes from somewhere in 2003.You'd be better of with a good set of circular lock picks.

How Animals Survive Under -50 Degrees C Pretty intresting
jipman replied to iGuest's topic in Science and Technology
Humans don't adapt as in body changing or anything that has something to do with dna or genetic stuff.Humans use external help in order to be able to live in any climate other than the 'standard' one. Like coats or any other sort of clothing.Try finding a Inuit who wears a tshirt and a pair of shorts, there won't because it'd be too cold for those kind of clothes. The fact that they call it 'normal' is because they have been living there since their birth thus it becomes their normal environment.Of course, if you start living in a gradually colder places you get used to the cold and the place. But unless after quite a number of generations there won't be a great great great great .... grand son of yours who has a different genetic property that makes them being able to stand cold instantly. -
No it isn't because it's too long. It's because you didn't read the topic. The starter stated he already HAD such a monitor, so there isn't much reason to advise him/her to buy it.

How Animals Survive Under -50 Degrees C Pretty intresting
jipman replied to iGuest's topic in Science and Technology
Best thing you can do to keep warm is to cover up your head, a very huge percentage of lost body heat came from the head. (except for the brain-dead people among us ).Anyway, I don't think there'll be much to learn from polar animals, they're built for that weather and we are suited for a 'normal' climate.Most wintercoats use some kinda of dunce that has air in it. Since air is one of the best isolators around so the coat works like a fur -
Somewhere in the 300 range for a good 17 inch one.I got a Samsung 730BF, with it's overdrive on the ping of the monitor is just 4ms ;)And seems like yours doesn't have overdrive :P so mine's fasternah nah nah nah :PAlthough yours probably doesn't cost as much.... And I had to pay for it myself

NOD32 -> https://www.eset.com/int/home// ????Google????? For your information, it's a virusscanner btw. Yacoob, if you've been using Norton for 5 years, didn't you notice rather large amount of system resources it takes up?

UPDATE on before.Memory usage is insanely high now... I've had been using Firefox for a while and the memory usage is a staggering 80 mb's now

I was wondering, what would happen if you're under linux and ran those exe's with WINE or something similar. I think it'd be funny to see what would happen.ps. My usual opinion still stands, anyone who falls for those deserve to be wormed, I mean..... Who the hell would fall for such a lame *bottom* trick?

A Very Very Happy Birthday To Our Dearest Opaque
jipman replied to miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG's topic in General Discussion
How old did you get anyway? -
Memory usage seems to have dropped a bit here though, in 1.0.3 it used to be around the 60 mb's, now it seems to float around the 50's.The onmouseover effects of the menu buttons are quite nice thoughBut apart from that I didn't really notice much difference (besides the interface change from the OPTIONS menu).

Another Way To Speed Up Internet Connection
jipman replied to soleimanian's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I think an explanation of what the registry edit actually does is on it's place here.Windows has limited the maximum number of connections to one server to 2 or 4, don't really remember which one. Most of the time this will be enough, since every internet connection has it's limit and with too high a setting your connection should be acting weird.But since mostly everyone's on a *dsl/cable/anyother high speed subscription which has more throughput, it can be usefull for you to set this number up higher.Obviously this won't work great miracles though, such a thing can boost your download speed a teensy bit if you do stuff that requires multiple connections alot (webbrowsing for instance). Loading images should go faster, but it won't matter to much for downloading like... big files or something. Since for example downloading with 4 connections with both 25 kb/sec doesn't really outspeed 8 connections that runs on 12,5kb/sec.The hack is just something that enables more simultaneous downloads, not greater speeds. Keep that in mind.ps. 56k user should consider getting broadband, also, i'd not use this registry hack if I were you. (see above example with the 25k/sec and 12,5 kb/sec). -

How Did You Choose Your Gaming Mouse Sensitivity How did you choose yours?
jipman replied to Solus's topic in Computer Gaming
Well... it mostly depended on my mousepad, i had a very small cloth mousepad a while ago, so i was forced to play on a reasonably high sens or else I'd had to reposition the mouse all the time, now I got myself a reaaall big huge *bottom* mousepad so I can afford to set the sensitivity way lower.ps. I like low sens because in games i usually pick the (sniper) rifle where aim is more important than reaction time. -
Of course not houdini, the guy wants to have a texteditor that can use bold italic and stuff. With stripping tags you lose the markup information in the text. Anyway, to have a php script take input from a html page with a textarea or textfield. You first need to have a webpage, maybe something like this: <html><form name="foo" action="post.php" method="post"><textarea name="txt"></textarea><input type="submit" name="sub" value="Save"> Save this as a regular html file. Now you need a script named post.php that does someting with the information. <?php//this line reads the information that was send by the html file$txt = $_POST['txt'];// Now you need something that connects to a database and saves it// But since that's too much work, I'm gonna show that this works // and print the information on the screeecho($txt);?> If you wanna save things in a database, check the php.net reference pages http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php Good luck with it.

What about the RAM timings M^E? Bigger aint always better you know .Anway 1 gig of ram is enough for almost everyone really nowadays. Unless you're into video encoding or other heavy processing stuff on your comp.

My codes sloppy but usually short, because I try to get everything as short as possible so there's less lines of code to comment to. ;)Anyway, sloppy code is especially a problem when doing Object Oriented Programming where you have to keep things a separate as possible so you can re-use any classes you've already written. I kinda have the tendency while writing classes that I kinda weave everything together. (I just started learning OOP a very short while ago).The main problem's laziness, it's kinda boring to comment every single block of code when it's meaning is obvious (for now at least ). But after a few weeks/days/certain period of time, when you look at it again, without comment it'll take a bit more time to understand it again (which isn't really a problem for me since I usually never look into written code again )

In cpanel, go FTP manager -> ftp accountsMain account means you can't delete them. For any accounts you made yourself, you'll see a DELETE and a PASSWORD button, click those to either delete or change the password.You can't edit a username, and restrictions (in cpanel) consists of a home directory for the user.
