Most Catholics will tell you they are Catholic before they will tell you they are Christian. If you ask a Catholic what his religion is, he will most likely say, "I'm Catholic."If on the other hand you ask him if he is Christian, he will say, something like "Yes, I'm Catholic." It's unbelievable how many times this little hypothesis seems to have worked. Anyway, my point is that Christian people do not, to the best of my knowledge, alienate the Catholic Church - the Catholic Church seems to distinguish itself from the rest.PSI was raised Catholic

so what happens when the list is already sorted to start with?

Some are more crackable than others though.

I think the Ranking idea can work well if people know who is rating their responses, it keeps everyone accountable. Also I agree with pbolduc on the idea of giving negative ratings to people who repeatedly provide false code information. If you are unsure that your code is not valid please don't post it. If you repeatedly post it and waste other people's time, then you should be rated negatively,If you can't be bothered to (or don't have the resources to) test the code, then please add a caveat which says code has not been tested (although this might be abused but sometimes, let's say you pull out a script in MSDOS from 5 years back which was run on Windows 98 but you now run XP which does not always allow you to run batch files in Windows, I think its nice to add a line that says, although I know this works when I wrote it, I have not tested it recently and so cannot guarantee that it will work on your system).

Not too surprising, though amusing. I remember when the news came out that they were using Firefox at Microsoft, they did not categorically deny it, just said they would not comment on it.I would use cracked software for evaluation purposes too if I had a deadline and did not have the licence ready, but then I am not a multi-billion dollar company. Nowadays, however, you really can't tell anymore what people will do.

You should be able to import Swift3D renditions into Flash

Right now I have figured a way to use Visual Studio or Mac's BBEdit to code in Unix environment for clients requiring that. I just Mount my afs unix space using a terminal emulator like SecureCRT and then save my work in the Unix environment. I have the IDE open in one window and the terminal emulator open in another. I code in one and compile remotely in another. That way (especially when I use Visual Studio.Net) I get to see the tutorials that come while you type. I have set up my computer which uses a GeForce card capable of supporting two monitors so that my IDE is open in one window and the terminal emulator is open in the other. So type in the left monitor, Alt+Tab to set focus to the terminal emulator window and compile in the right monitor. So fast, I'm loving it.

I only design part time to stash my pocket for school.to varsoft, what exactly are you interested in. usually you can get the info by using Google.

I haven't seen too much of this but Apple has continued to prove its prowess as a designer of classy consumer computer electronics and if that is anything to go by then I expect the Mini Mac to be a success.

If you were using Perl you could use: if( $email =~ m{\b(([\w._-]+)\@([\w._-]+))}) { //code follows here} For more about Regular Expressions, visit http://www.regular-expressions.info/. Great Site

PHP, great open source alternative. I use Perl a lot too.

Take C first if you have time to take both. It makes you appreciate the computer both in the software and hardware regard. If you have time for only one, I think you should take Java. its simpler, object oriented although slower.

I think Eclipse is a fabulous IDE, perhaps the best freeware one out there. Its GUI designers are solid and are not too difficult to pick up. I got introduced to it not too long ago but I love the JBUilder. Another facility that I have taken to is the JUnit unit testing facility. For those of you who don't know what the JUnit testing facility is, it allows you to write out a series of testcases (normally asserts) which run everytime you compile in debug mode. There's nothing more joyous than when that red light which signifies errors turns green.

Photoshop CS is great. I haven't used Paint Shop Pro but honestly, I don't see why I should leave Photoshop since it performs all the tasks I need it to.

I start off with Google. Almost always and then check out the top ranking pages. w3schools.com is cool though.

interesting piece of trivia. Didn't know domain registrations existed since 1985

Good post. also take time to learn CSS and use it for all projects, you can't go wrong with it. You will find out that as the web evolves and more and more people embrace cascading style sheets, customers will start demanding that you use it for them. And there is nothing more impressive about the power that a well designed and standards compliant CSS based design has when it comes time to update/alter the layout of a site.Finally, if you can afford to, buy DreamWeaver. Its templates and library items paradigm is a plus for doing monotonous site-wide changes if you used them throughout the whole site.

BATCH files? Ha! Good times. Only one more thing is missing: the Errorlevel menu tutorial. Here is code I wrote like 6 years ago for my computer studies IGCSE class. The wierd letters with accents displayed as corners of the edge of the menu box on a Windows 98 machine (I could not run this on XP though). @echo off@echo offclsh:\goto startREM simple menu system:startCLSecho.echo ===============================================================================echo Âş Ă==============================Âť Âşecho Âş Âş Wyvern-Griffin Backup UtilityÂş Âşecho.Âş Ă==============================Âź Âş echo.Âş ============================================================================Âşecho.Âş Âş echo Âş [1] Backup Hospital Panacea Âşecho Âş [2] Backup Patients' Database Âş echo Âş [3] Exit menu system Âş echo ===============================================================================choice /c:123 Enter optionecho ===============================================================================echo.rem -- menu choice handled by choice.exe signifies the option selected by the userrem -- This message take on the values 3 or 2 or 1rem -- The errorlevel cascade (from highest expected to lowest) makes a goto jumprem -- to the appropriate GOT destination line (all GOTO destinations are preceded rem -- with colons)rem -- GOTO destination names cannot be too long, I think beyond 15, DOS gets rem -- confuses.if errorlevel 3 goto Exitif errorlevel 2 goto BackupDatabaseif errorlevel 1 goto BackupHospitalgoto ChoiceError:ChoiceErrorbeepecho Please make a valid optiongoto start:BackupHospitalcopy /y c:\progra~1\panacea\*.* h:\backup\panacea\echo Your Files have been backed-up.echo.pausegoto start:BackupDatabasecopy h:\patients\patients.dat h:\backup\patients\echo Your Database has been backed-up.echo.pausegoto start:exitcd\echo All Rights Reserved.¸1999/2000 Wyvern-GriffinŠ Software Inc.exitrem The idea is that the program choice.exe returns the value entered by the user for a menu item, this value is then treated as an errorlevel (sort of a DOS message system) which depending on the integer value lets you jump to different parts of the batch file to complete the desired operation. This menu system really did little except copy files here and there but back then I was impressed to do a menu system in DOS so much that I added it to my project.

I know email headers hold sender IP details, what I meant is that there is a need for a technology that can distinguish between offending IP addresses and victimised IP addresses that are used to spam. Right now, I can't think of any such approach which would not involve the collective effort of everyone whose IP address could potentially be hijacked. At the moment, the only way to verify that an IP address has been hijacked is to ask innocent people who see their IP addresses listed as suspected offenders to report their innocence and that is not enough because under the right conditions an offender can plead innocence too. Honeypot is a great project idea and so far looks very promising but they need to focus on closing all loopholes

Interesting project. I think I will start using it. I hope they find a way to detect situations where spammers hijack an IP to use for harvesting and/or spamming

I pefer allowing the user to choose between flash and html. it is also a good idea to use stylesheets and avoid tables where logically possible to make for easy access across a wide variety of media, especially now that PDA's and other small "computers" are accessing the net regularly.

what do you want to do with the template? I think you will get more positive feedback if you outline the basics that you want to achieve and then ask for help in attaining those goals.

I use Ad-Aware

The error message suggests that your company uses some ActiveX components in their site design. Firefox purposefully did not support native ActiveX products because they are one of the main methods used by malware disseminators to spread their evil ware. I am not sure if there is an ActiveX plug-in for Firefox right now but the developpers would rather steer clear of it if possible. Anyway, I use IE only when the site looks crappy in Firefox, which means (most often than not) that the site developers used some IE-based code and/or used some standards-defying code. If undecided, go for Firefox, you will not regret it.

I daubled with Invision for a while, never really completed the skin but I think you should listen to Xaine and visit invisionize.com. Also check out http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Note however that you need some fundamental CSS skills to build your own skin from the ground up.
