  1. I got this query...

    <?phperror_reporting(E_ALL); //Tell all the things$host="this_host";$user="me";$pass="secret_word";$users_table="users_table_for_smf";$member_group_col="column_name_for_member_group_in_smf";$new_group_name="whatever";$this_group="the_old_group";$custom_field="custom_field_in_users_profile";$this_value="the_value_for_custom_field";mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass)    or die ("Can't connect, was told  :  <br>". mysql_error());mysql_select_db('smf')    or die ("Can't open database, was told : <br>".mysql_error());$query = "UPDATE $users_table SET $member_group_col = $new_group_name ";$query .= "WHERE $member_group_col = $this_group AND ";$query .= "$custom_field = $this_value ";mysql_query($query);print("Updated records: %d\n", mysql_affected_rows());?>

    but i need this modified cause custom profile field data is stored in smf_themes and the membergroup data is store in smf_members with MEMBER ID as the common field, I am hoping someone here can rewrite this for me to work cause I don't know php, i had to get someone to write me this qury but they don't know how toy use the SQL Join.

    here is what i want this for: i need a php script to query the db, the smf users table and checks to entires in a users profile a custom field i made and the member group and if both match preset values then i want it to change the member group. i would just want this to be a php file that i can just randomly decide to goto, enter the url in firefox or any browser then it will run.

  2. windows is the os for me. ;) i use it all the time and its great being the most widley used os so its perfect for me to write my software for. unless of course i can use linux to write windows software which i doubt is the case, I don't have any problems with windows, the only problems really arise when you don't run an anti virus a firewall, ect. Linux is good though as a router/firewall when you run some program on it i hear though.


  3. i get a computerhelp.info.tm cannot be found when i try to goto my website and the ip address just gives me the main Xisto page, i just noticed this and was woundering if it might be due to the fact that my account was upgraded or something?


  4. when i goto my site i get this error:

    refreshing dosen't seem to work.

  5. No doubt you noticed that in windows 95/98/me that at the loin screen a user can press cancel to access your computer. This i guess is meant to be like a guest account but in most cases its annoying to have. This hack will auto-logoff the user as soon as they login the this 'guest' account.

     

    IMPORTANT: THIS REQUIRES YOU TO EDIT THE REGISTRY, IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY YOU COULD MESS UP YOUR COMPUTER, IN SOME CASES A REGISTRY BACKUP MAY WORK, IF YOU CAN USE IT, SEARCH GOOLGLE FOR REGISTRY BACKUP TO FIND OUT HOW TO DO THIS< OR BETTER YET IF YOU DO NOT FELL LIKE YOU CAN PROPERLY DO THIS THEN DONT, BUT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS YOU SHoulD BE SAFE.

     

    1. Goto this key in the registry, to get to the registry goto Start -> Run and enter regedit

     

    HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    2. Add a REG_SZ (String Value) entry in this key

     

    3. Name the REG_SZ value NoLogon

     

    4. make the entry as follows: RUNDLL32 shell32,SHExitWindowsEx 0

     

    NOTE:This will affect all users created after this is enabled as new users are based off of this account, to avoid this when you create a new user go into the registry key for that user ie (HKEY_USERS\jdoe) and delete the NoLogon value. This can also be overridden by booting up into Safe Mode. Use F8 when the Starting Windows screen is up and choose safe mode and you can go into delete the key, that way or just bypass it for then. If you want more security conciter upgrading to windows NT/2000/XP.


  6. If you want to mek it so cerin users, maybe guest or the account you getto by pressing cancel for in 95/98 to not be able to edit the regisstry this is the registry hack for you.

    1. Goto this key in the registry, to get to the registry goto Start -> Run and enter regedit

     

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\

    System


    2. Add a DWORD entry in this key

     

    3. Name the DWORD value DisableRegistryTools

     

    4. make the entry as follows: (0 = allow regedit, 1 = disable regedit)

     

    NOTE:This will not allow you to edit the registry from this user account, conciter carefully before doing this.


  7. I use firefox myself, its a great browser, the next generation browser, with its share of problem, but unlike ie these aren't security holes, firefox is great, tabbed browsing is the best, and their are numerous extentions to it, as for blocking wanted popups, their is a yellow bar at the top telling you it blocked something, if you want the popupo click the yellow bar and selct show me (window name for the popup).


  8. Many of you probably use the welcome screen in XP so you don't have to enter a username, you just click, but this list all users on the computer and you may not want all listed, in this case you can make a registry edit to hide the account from the welcome screen.

    1. Goto this key in the registry, to get to the registry goto Start -> Run and enter regedit

     

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

    2. Add a DWORD entry in this key

     

    3. Name the DWORD valuse the username of the account you wish to hide, NOTE: In some cases the username may differ from the displayed name, the usernae is set when the account is created, if you goto change the name after that you are just changing the display nemae, you need to know the username you enter to login to this account if you didn't use the welcome screen.

     

    4. Levae the value of the entry as 0

     

    5. To logg into hidden accounts press Ctrl=Alt=Delete twice without letting go of Ctrl and Alt.

     

    I hear that using Ctrl-Alt-Delete twice will also allow you to loging to the admin account in xp home without booting into safe mod, i have not yet tested this. I onnly know this works for xp home though it should work for pro too.

     

    NOTE: it only works when all users are logged off user switching doesn't work.


  9. from what i understand it is users mostly that crash it, maybe they cause it to get too busy or i don't know exectly what but i have been told the users are crashing it and myybe they are just fast at fixing it, oor its a problem that works itself out. :-/


  10. First mistake, my motherboard is completely jumperless. Second, my case is locked. And you don't have the key. Normally, to reset the BIOS, you remove the battery and put it back in. I've never heard of anyone using jumpers for that, although I wouldn't doubt it, why would they use the jumpers if the battery is right there, in plain view. Second, my motherboard isn't your motherboard. If it had jumpers, you wouldn't know what jumpers did what, because it's different on every motherboard. But either way, you're not getting inside my case.

     

    Second mistake: Simple registry key you say? Too bad. I'm using UNIX, dumbshit!

     

    Third mistake, you don't know my root passphrase, chump! You're done! You can't even get a prompt without a correct password, let alone install a script in my computer...

     

    Fourth mistake, my email does not allow emails with embedded scripts, or HTML. Why? I use elm, dumbass! It doesn't accept HTML-encoded mail. The only emails it will open are text-only.

     

    Fifth mistake...uh, dipshit, EVERYTHING requires permissions in UNIX. To Read a file, to write a file, or to execute a file, YOU MUST HAVE PERMISSION. Duh! We've only told you several times now...

     

    Sixth Mistake, whenever I receive email from turds like you, it's deleted before it's even read. Why would I want to read the useless **** that flaps out of your asscheeks and onto your keyboard??? Do you really think I care that much about anything you have to say?

     

    And last, I doubt you even know the proper commands to even get in that directory and delete the file. Don't bother posting them, I know you'll just cut and paste them from a HOWTO somewhere you found on google. Just admit it, you're just another point-and-click dumbshit that thinks Microsoft must be the best, cause it's what your pathetic-*bottom* Dell came with. You're probably that douchebag that was on the old Dell commercials that everyone hated! If you're so damn smart, WHY are you using A. An X86 Processor, and B. Windows, of all things. Windows, is absolutely the WORST OS there even has been in the history of computers! But why is it so popular? A person is smart, people are dumb, stupid, and complete idiots. A person uses a better operating system. People, use Windows. The person has the better OS. The people NEED a better OS. But the people NEED to do what we did back in the day. Actually KNOW how to use your computer. That's the evil side of the GUI...they put too many people in front of their computers that don't know what they're doing, and don't really care to take the time to learn at least a few simple DOS commands...Bill Gates should have stayed in the traffic business...and he knows that Windows sucks. He doesn't care. It's what generates most of his income. If you have stable software, people see fewer reasons to upgrade, and fewer people call technical support. Do you know how much money Microsoft makes off of technical support alone??? Last time I checked (in 1996), it was around $30 per incident. I bet you half of those calls were from people trying to figure out how to open up the nifty built-in cupholder...Bill knows how to make money, and how do you make more money than anyone? Sell your products to the suckers who will probably make about 5-6 incidents worth of calls to Microsoft after they buy your horrible OS. That, is how to make lots of money with a crappy product, now go out there and be somebody! Remember this classic quote from a discussion in 1985...

     

    Steve Jobs: "We're better than you. We make better stuff."

    Bill Gates: "But Steve, that doesn't matter."

     

    (Me: "Personally, the Amiga kicks the living **** out of BOTH of your OS'es, AND the computers they run on.")

     

    And by the way, Ryan, here's a nickel. Get yourself a better computer. And actually learn how to use it too.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>


    most motherbpoards do, most computer cases don't lock, the jumper work right away, as for batteries you have to remove them, levae it for like 3 days then come back after its forgot the BIOS password, sencoly thats youur fault for using UNIX, a simple program could run below the level of os security and still write to your hard disk, windows is so much beter than UNIX, if you actually wouldn't be so cheap and buy it you would know that, and for someone who doesn't care you sure write long post arguing an inncorrect point.

  11. ...the whole WMD BS. 
    ...


    that in itself is BS, the inte;llegence said their were WMD's, saddam had the ability to make them, he was planning on starting up pa necular weapons program, even liberals thought their were WMD, thats what intellegence said, but intellegence isn't always right, thats a fact of life, but lets say they were right and we did nothing, or even if they were still wrong and saddam started up his nucular weapons program, and attacked us, then you all would be bithing bush did nothing to stop this.

  12. their seems to be a new windows vs linux of windows vs mac threads every week, a suggestion would be to merge all the windows vs mac onmes together ect. and sticky that post and make that the one thread for such disscussion. No matter how many of these I see, my aswer remains the same, Windows is best, but really certin os's can be compared because they have diffrent uses, so it depends on wwhat you are using your computer for.
