Probably the most vague title ever, but I have no clue if what I'm thinking even exists and if so, what it would be called haha. So I'm developing an asp .net application and there are pages where I fill in information, hit submit, and I want to just have a report appear beneath that, but then would like to have the screen automatically scroll down to the report rather then having the user have to scroll down each time. I don't want to load a new form if possible just to keep all the input locations and output in one spot in case they want to test multiple values. It won't ruin the design if I can't do this, but figured I'd see if any of you that have more asp/web in general experience know how you'd go about doing this... I have to keep working on the main functionality less I'd toy around with things trying to find it myself

Just to clarify, anything in the windows xp era would run fine, thats why I asked haha. I didn't mean to imply that the 'xp era' was a bad thing. I just figured it was recent enough to run fine on current systems

Is it that old? I thought zoo tycoon was in the windows xp era?...

I haven't played the zoo series but I assume I would like it well enough. I enjoy all those tycoon style games in short bursts, but I have never liked one near enough to say its the best game on earth None of them are deep enough for me, play a few times and you can get the hang of it and then basically the game loses its challenge, at least to me, and thus loses the fun factor.Glad you enjoy it though and I may check it out some day, I actually have almost borrowed it before just never got around to it haha.

Kind of off topic but for my own curiosities sake: Is it problems with ubuntu or linux in general? I just dont often hear people having big issues with ubuntu past preferring another distro over it.Back to the topic, I've been using evolution mail a bit more and I like it. I cant see any reason it'd be better or worse then thunderbird so really its a personal call, but if you were consider evo it seems solid.

You can download themes off websites (google for it and you'll find some fast enough) and then if I remember correctly you can install it right through the admin panel on your forums. A darker theme would really help the look all blend together more. I'm not 100% sure this is how you install a theme as I haven't used forum software in ages, but its probably either that or just dump the files into a pre-defined folder on your site then select it in the admin panel. Regardless I'm confident there are insanely detailed instructions out there if you google around a bit. Otheriwse someone else will likely be around soon enough that knows this stuff better.

Minutes to Midnight took some time to grow on me, I'll be honest, I had to listen through the whole thing 2-3 times but then it really hit a groove with me and I loved it. While I disagree with the rap removal being a necessarily good thing, since I like rap by itself and I've always loved LP's rock/rap fusion (one of the few rock/rap bands that I felt did it well), I still really like the new tracks. The couple that feature Shinoda as the lead vocals are great both the rappier tunes and the songier one (I forget all the names right now, its early and I haven't had my coffee yet haha).But yes, as I mentioned in my last post, they keep changing the way they want to instead of putting out rehashed versions of their songs just to appease the crowds (obviously the remix album is re-hashes but they didn't promote it as new material).LP WOO! haha

I think the main problem in this discussion is his inability or unwillingness to accept key concepts we have presented numerous times in variable wording. I have nothing against religious view points, as I mentioned I am in fact Christian, however it annoys me to no end when someone starts a debate, interjects religiously based logical statements, but is unwilling to respond accordingly to ideas presented against them. Worst still is how they, similar to this, simply ignore any facts they can't properly rebut.So yes,lonelym, once you determine when precisely an unborn fetus becomes a life then at least you'll have a starting point to base further comments on. Until this point all your other statements are irrelevant.

I actually just grabbed blender yesterday. Haven't tested it out yet, but another friend recommended I try it out for fun so I grabbed it. From what I saw on a few websites it looks like it'll be fun if I ever have the time to dig into it a bit.As for synaptic it really is a great tool. I prefer to just apt-get things from the command line whenever possible, but often times the package name has a random version number or something tacked onto it so synaptic is a breeze for finding new stuff when you need it. Haven't had a problem with it yet.

how COULD I leave out vi :|Haha, I actually really love vi, it's my program of choice when I have to do some remote coding on the computers on campus Plus when you pull a few random shortcut quick taps out you impress anyone watching when the screen goes crazy and it actually does what you wanted haha. I don't use it a lot on my home system just due to having numerous quality graphical editors from super lightweight to heavy weight, but for quick command line editing vi is my buddy.

Hehe yea emacs can be a bit odd the first time you use it, especially depending on the version you get and whatnot.I normally too stick to POP3 clients but I've gotten used to having my Outlook open constantly here at work, so figured I'd try out similarly at home... but without the outlook portion of that statement haha. I actually just set up Evolution Mail last ngiht to testit out so might run it for a few days then run thunderbird a few and see which feels better. I'm hoping to end up having one open all the time so I can start using the calendaring options of them and whatnot more... but now I'm getting off topic so I'll stop rambling haha.The Ubuntu default game pack is pretty cool as you mentioned. I'm not huge into those little OS games so haven't used them all but they seem like a solid selection.

I haven't voiced an opinion on this topic in awhile, but since it's still going I'll hop back in :PFirstly, accept the fact that people want to have sex, they enjoy it, they won't always be married, etc. Saying people shouldn't have sex until ready to have a baby is simply being ignorant to the world we live in. That will never be a reality, probably never has been and probably never will be. People have primal, sexual urges that, unless they have particular beliefs, they will satisfy prior to wanting to have a child.Now, picture this scenario. A woman becomes pregnant, accidentally, and due to various medical conditions it is known that she has a high percentage chance of dieing during childbirth. Further these conditions would heavily impact the health of the baby, if it survives at all. You're saying that having an abortion would be wrong, but allowing the mother and child to both die, or mother to die and child to live a heavily painful life, is the 'right' choice?Again we'll go back to what constitutes a living being as well. All of your arguments for anti-abortion circle around murder being wrong, but all your arguments are pointless without determining what, at least in your mind, is the stage at which an unborn entity becomes a living being. When does it become life? When is it given a soul? etc.Going through with a pregnancy and living a life knowing you would outlive your child, as in the case of babybear's sister, to me would be more horrifying then I think I could handle. Her sister is one of the many parents with an amount of strength I know I would have trouble being able to draw forth. If she had chosen to risk it on her own it would make more sense but going through with it because other people told her she would go to hell? This makes no sense to me.Again, I am not arguing FOR abortion. There are cases where I feel it is right, others it is very very wrong. For example, some countries actually saw abortion (still may) as the PRIMARY form of birth control. I wish I had a link for a source but I don't, I might hunt one later. Regardless this is a situation I feel it becomes an appalling abuse of such a procedure. As far as your organ harvesting idea, however, I think that is ridiculous. The government WOULD make such acts illegal, abortion being legal or not, and as such anyone who would be willing to be that twisted would be outside the law regardless so I'm sure making the abortion illegal wouldn't slow them down any.I am a Christian. Hell I am a Catholic, so obviously my church is anti-abortion, pro-life, whichever term you choose. I choose pro-choice. Even from a religious point this has never made sense to me. How is forcing someone to not sin any better then letting them sin? They would still sin if given the power to do so, so how is that any better? We are a free society and should be given the choice to make our own decisions if they do not affect others. Mother's should be allowed to choose what happens to their bodies and their babies, or unborn blobs of developing tissue.

So over the last couple days I've re-made the switch over to linux. I've used linux in various forms for a long time and go through phases where I use it more then others, but this time I'm really making a push to use it 95% of the time on my home system (really only booting into windows for gaming). Anyhow going through the whole process of setting up the clean install of my latest distro of choice (Ubuntu 7.04) got me thinking, what are those little apps that everyone can't live without in linux? They don't need to be open source, they don't need to be linux only, just anything you always use in linux. So right off the bat I think most of us can agree on a few basics that I'll list just to avoid having everyone list them Firefox - The famous web browser Gaim/Pidgin - Multi-client chat program Open Office - Office Suite The Gimp - Image Editor Now, if anyone has a program they prefer over these choices feel free to voice your opinion. Next up are a few apps I virtually always make sure to grab if they don't come with a distro, although they aren't quite as necessary nor as widely accepted as the standard. XMMS - Winamp style MP3 player VLC - Light Weight video player application MPlayer - another media player application Evolution Mail/ Thunderbird - Mail applications. I kind of flip back and forth on this. I used to stick to Thunderbird but am currently trying Evolution as I've heard good things. If you have a strong argument for either let me know. AMSN - While the older versions were horrid to say the least, the latest releases look pretty smooth, have solid plugins, and can actually work with my webcam which is why I keep it around Emacs - I don't use it a lot, but I always install it, good to keep around for coding sometimes I'm sure there are a few others I'm forgetting but that's a solid start. I usually avoid having the distro install a crapload of applications off the bat, I'd rather learn about them myself and load them up so I have a solid idea what the applications residing on my system actually do. That said, I don't have a huge insight into the world of linux apps so I'd love some recommendations of programs that could really make a difference in my linux experience. Apps that handle anything or everything are welcome.

I'm really glad to see that pretty much everyone is behind the credit system. This type of system is basically reliant on having a core set of users to keep content flowing to the boards and while there are admittedly times where the content dries up a bit just due to the nature of life, more often then not there are new topics and posts at a pretty steady pace. I think it does require a little work but when I originally joined up I knew the value received was greater then the work involved. If you aren't willing to pay for hosting this is one of the few ways to get a quality hosting package for little effort. woo us! haha

Holy poo on a flag pole I didn't know about the xfire->msn integration thing!!! I'm going to have to grab that when I get home and try it out Thanks for the heads up, that was always a feature I couldn't understand they didn't build in on their own, I mean, with gaim/pidgin, trilliam, etc all having multiple clients you'd think xfire would realize having in game chat support with other clients would severely boost the useability of the prog. Not that xfire was in any way a shoddy product before but it just seemed like a logical 'next step'. Awesome

Hahaha I love that ethergeek mentioned prolog. I studied it a bit this past year for... reasons... and we had a blast with it. In reality I hate the damn thing, but its really good for what its built for heh. You can pull off some interesting tricks and it gets you thinking about programming in a different light. Although if you REALLY wanna blow you're frame of programming reference, try out APL haha

If it was just old people that were ignorant to changes in the world it'd be one thing, but a lot of young people have heart problems that require pacemakers so I feel its not good to have false information floating around out there without disclaimers

So I randomly got the urge yesterday to wipe my linux partition clean and install a new distro, or at least a new release, and get back into linux a bit. I always have a linux partition on my system but I usually go through phases where I use it more or less. Regardless I have used multiple distros (a bit of gentoo and slack, redhat, suse, madrake, mandiva, fedora, mepis, ubuntu, etc) and had used ubuntu 6.06 for awhile. I had actually installed 6.10 around the end of last year but over time I broke some things playing with compiz and eventually just sort of stopped using it. I didn't get a true feel for the improvements or changes between 6.06 and 6.10Now I figured I'd give you all a rundown of my first day trying out Ubuntu 7.04 from the perspective of someone who has used multiple linux distros, including multiple previous releases of ubuntu. This will not be one of the many fanboyish rantings about how ubuntu is the answer to all of linux's prayers haha.First thing I noticed is that the livecd still works smoothly and the install procedure is still as painless as ever. Ubuntu has one of the easiest installs of any linux distro I've used (although lately most aren't too bad anymore) but ubuntu's toughest questions basically are what language you speak (excluding partitioning that is the same for all distros really).Once the install is done and I got into the main install there were already a solid number of updates, including a kernel update, so another reboot later (I hate having to reboot after an install, but as far as I know a linux kernel patching on any distro would require this?) and I was in and running. I had killed my home partition since nothing worth saving was in it so I was starting completely fresh, looking at the admittedly not-so-pretty default ubuntu gnome theme. I really don't like the orangy brown-ness of ubuntu, but whatever, you can change the theme easy enough.The first thing I always do after installing any linux distro is test networking (worked) then try my media (didn't). Ubuntu doesn't install out-of-box any drivers or codecs that could cause legal issues in any country but they have made it reasonably easy now to install a handful of packages that, after it warns you about potential legal issues, makes mp3's, divx, everything run fine without a hitch. Another quick install listed in all the UBuntu 7.10 guides and I had auto dvd playback running. The dvd quality is a little sketchy currently so I'm going to be looking into that. Hopefully if it's a codec issue ubuntu gets on finding a newer version or better replacement quickly.That's the main reason I keep coming back to ubuntu. I know a LOT of people over hype it, and a lot of people hate it because they see it as "noob" now, but frankly I don't care. It finds a nice balance between making things work while keeping a good dose of what makes linux great for the more advanced users. It has some flaws (ex: some ati cards can be a complete ***** to get working from what I've heard, mine is somewhat hit or miss depending on how much eye candy I try to get going) but Ubuntu focuses on the user when developing so these things get ironed out pretty regularly. One good example of this user focus is the "Desktop Enhancements" that are built in for the 7.10 release. You can get a few of the basic bits of the xgl sexyness just by clicking enable if you don't feel like installing it all yourself. They plan to put even more in future releases but the fact that they are listening to what users wants makes me happy.Some other features I've noticed that are probably nice for less experienced users are an add/remove programs button right in the main menu, with a nicely laid out program installation front end. There is a 'beagle' application that allows desktop search capabilities, etc.Ubuntu 7.10 comes with all the expected software (FF, OO, gaim... oddly not pidgin yet... etc) and the rest is easy to grab. Some of the software in the repositories isn't quite the bleeding edge version, and sometimes you need to hunt to find the repo's to add to your sources to get all the programs you want, but the majority are fine without much intervention on your part.Again, like any distro, it's not without problems. I've bricked installs of ubuntu in the past screwing with my graphics settings and drivers that on other distros I haven't had problems with. While Cononical claims Ubuntu 'just works' there are still numerous steps to getting things running just as you like them... which is logical, and the same for windows, other linux distros, etc, but goes against their claim.This is a very solid release in my opinion, I'm more impressed with 7.04 then I was with the previous two releases as they didn't seem to polish anything that greatly. The previous releases seemed to try to make things smooth, and introduce new features, but only ever accomplished one or the other where 7.10 seems to be returning the focus to making the user worry less about the background stuff. Sure I still poke around in it all, but I could ignore it should I choose to haha.I know Ubuntu has become the distro I'm used to so that obviously would bias my opinion but I've tried to stay objective, as mentioned it has its ups and downs but currently it seems to have more ups then downs. As long as you are willing to put in the effort to read some guides to getting a few basics set up at the get-go you can have a system that is pretty solid up and running in no time. If you prefer another distro I can't think of anything ubuntu offers yet that would make me recommend switching frankly, it does what it does well, but it doesn't do anything that spectacular. There are some things the team is apparently working on that might give it an edge but for now its just a very solid fairly average distro in my opinion... but thats why it remains my distro of choice.

I doubt there is an msn plugin to do this, but there is software such as xfire ( http://www.xfire.com/ ) that allows you to keep buddy lists and see which games they are playing at any given time, and what servers they are on if playing online. Further it often has a "join now" command to simply hop straight from xfire into the game and server they are playing at a moments notice. Xfire is great too as it allows chatting with people who are already playing games without them having to completely alt-tab out or anything like that.

I think I'd start people off with a more true language. Php is simple to pick up after learning a true coding language (like most net scripting languages) so it would almost slow the person down imo. C is a great choice for an early language although c++ might also be good to get the object oriented style introduced to them. Assembly is a useful skill, but really its specific to the platform and won't be that useful unless you plan to work in embedded systems or the like.Really any order works, and unless you know exactly what your life will hold for you its hard to pick the 'perfect' order. Yours is really good for well rounded but might not be super efficient. Others might be more efficient at the cost of missing out on net skills or whatnot. Its all a trade off

I haven't heard any complaints myself, it'd probably be best to check some of the big slack specific forums or googling for the problem. Since the number of people here running the new version of slack is probably super small if anyone as it is, plus then you'd need one of them to have the same problem to know how to fix it, seems unlikely you'll get super great feedback. But who knows...

Luckily the boards have the wonderful staff that it does to make sure that most big, bloaty, pointless posts are removed so that people stick to only making big posts if the information is relevant Actually excluding the odd person that is new and just trying to get credits fast, people here are really good about post quality usually, I think the system in place has been honed to a point it works very well. Keeps people posting and in line so that the boards operate smoothly and keep people active.

haha yea I love when people freak over some new tech device which, I'll admit is freaking amazingly cool, but past the wow factor it isn't something that would be put to substantial use as of yet, ESPECIALLY for the price it would cost. I can quickly move pictures around on a big screen? why not buy a big lcd, use a mouse, and save a couple grand (random guesstimate in difference of prices).Sure, it will have things its capable of that are technically impossible now, or at least impossible to do in the same way, but past how cool it is how functional is it. There exists cars that can convert into boats when they hit water but how many people actually need such a craft outside of wanting to be able to try it a few times?M$ keeps pumping out impressive techs lately (they seem to be buying the right people haha), but this one isn't topping my list for things I want to get my hands on.

Wow, yea, as mentioned goto is bad practice. There are a LOT of ways goto can make programs mess up, especially if you ever try to modify code with numerous goto statements. Further you are not taking advantage of the language whatsoever. Write functions to handle things and call them instead of goto statements. Control the user input (tell them what to type) rather then taking into account a shitload of possible string entires (or run the input through the lowercase built in function then take a substring of the first however many letters, and base your assumption off that). Those huge if blocks with tons of or's in it make me cry inside hehe.You just have SO MUCH code for something that could, as mentioned, be done in a much much much more concise way. Ignoring the fact that most of the functions for this are probably built into c++ even wanting to write your own it could be done in much less code and much cleaner code.Another tip would be to take all the user input at once, for example get them to enter the length, width, and height as a comma delimited string or just one at a time, hitting enter in between, but list the order beforehand so you dont need to print/input/print/input/print/input every time.

From the article: While this is not justifying it obviously, you shouldn't make it sound like this is something solely caused by iPods Apparently other electronics can cause the same issues, AND the articles mentions that people with pacemakers are fine to use iPods as long as they don't place them directly over the pacemaker, in a breast pocket for example. Again this is something for people with pacemakers to note, but they would already know this since doctors warn them about electronic devices in general being capable of causing problems with pacemakers, so really it seems more like someone hating on apple and using iPods popularity to get more readers on their story
