He will get a neglectible amount of credits due to very few words. Moreover, if a moderator happens to see that, his post could be estimated as pure spamming, and he will be strongly penalized.

As usual, the correct way to pronouce that is : my way.More seriously, as usual in such a case, people around you expect that you pronounce it a certain way, and you have to learn this way, until you switch to another room with other people and pronounce it differently.

Easy to say. The right way is "Sir, look at the topic link here ". Saying "there is something better somewhere" is not enough.

Do you mean that you would like to have Microsoft-like very professional tools for Microsoft products with a very professional design without having to pay ? That's very common in the opensource world, like for mysql databases. It's not so usual for Microsoft products like MS SQL

Nicely said Really nicely said, I like it. So truly expressed.

You're partly right. The trick is on their website, for people having their own all-purpose CD in their pocket. The interest of a CD is that usually it cannot be contaminated by viruses.So, the trick is that way : you have portable clamwin on your CD, you copy the files to your friend's hard disk (a small folder, this goes fast), you run it from this folder. If the definition file has to be uploaded, it's uploaded on the disk. When you finish your work, you wipe off the directory, or you leave it for your friend if he is convinced by clamwin.

Strange indeed. It works with my own account, but it does not work with ftp.mediyama.astahost.com !

Thanks for the info on portable clamwin. I just tried it, I love the way it's installed on your USB stick and run from there. So, before using your stick you can scan the memory of your friend's computer, it's nicely safe. I find it rather slow, compared to other things like McAfee or Norton, but I like the idea of running from an USB disk or from a CD.

Have a look if your software has a blacklist or a quarantaine zone.Imagine that you have two movies detected as spywares, both could be quarantained, 5 giga each...

This simply seems to be a reminder of the need of standards. If you don't know how it works but you know it's standard, have a look at the standards. If you want to learn how to create a program based on database usage, and want to be independant from the database provider - using Oracle for big professional databases using a very expensive RDBMs or mysql for a small home database using free software - you have to learn how each one confirms to standards, and then you can use standard sentences (select * from mytable where myfield="myself"), and avoid unexisting features, or even use the standard features of a given RDBMS in order to boost your queries. So, what is supposed to be taken from this ? Simply the link to the document you must keep in mind, as well as a general philosophy in the way you design your own work ; or the way you have to check that you work you pay for is really done.

I guess you aren't familiar with the command line interface. Our current goal is simply to see if the Unix guetty will accept your user login and your password.A second thing : when you arrive at the console login prompt, try typing "ifconfig -a" #(without the quotes) in order to see what your current IP configuration is. Regards yordan

I agree with this way of diagnosis. This will allow us to know where your problem comes from : unix problem, graphics problem or network problem. If you can log in to the ascii terminal (by mean of ctrl+alt+f1) this will mean that your Unix has no basic problem. Did you happen to change your IP network address recently ? or did you happen to manually modify your /etc/hosts or /etc/inittab file ? Yordan

uploadingit.com (http://speedsmart.net/ ) allows hotlinking without problem. I'm not really sure I know what hotlinking is, but they title page says "hotlinking allowed", and they give you the codes to insert into your html pages or the bbcode for your forum.

Personnally, I prefer PHPBB. I find it rather easy to install and administrate. I hate ads on my own forum. That's why I don't want to use a forum provider like invisionfree. Besides that, some "free" forum providers warned me after some monthes that it's not free any more, some other ones simply suppressed my forum without any warning.So, I prefer to use my own site. Xisto has no ads, and the account lasts as long as I can post on their forum, if I cannot post any more I will have to switch to a paid hosting account.Some other providers give you a free account with a very small and acceptable text-based link at the bottom of your web page, I think that I could accept that.However, my favourite remains PHPBB freely hosted by Xisto.Yordan

I am also very interested by this question. I have very important things I want to be worldwide know on my site, the info being widely distributed by Google.And I also have things I would like to keep private, for my family or for my friends, and I would like those things not to be indexed by Google. Is this possible ? How should we proceed, in order to remove an information from Google ?

OK, let me give my opinion.Xisto people are kind with us, they allow free hosted people to make money with their site.So, I would say, start with a free plan at Xisto, in order to see if you are good on Internet, if people come to your site and if people appreciate what you do.When this site starts being an important part of your business, if people connect to your site and ask you to do a paid job for instance, or if they buy something you want to sell, you start making money with your website.As soon as the money coming from your website starts being more than the expenses for a paid site, you shoud go to a paid hosting plan.Personnally, I don't have $3.33 a month for paying for my website. That's why I ame here, hosted by Xisto free web hosting.As soon as my site will start growing, and the revenue coming from my site will be bigger than $3.33 a month, I will switch to a paid hosting plan.Inbetween, I will have tested Xisto's technical team, I am satisfied with the uptime, I am reasonably satisfied by my own graphical skills and website designing, so as soon as my site will give me a stable $3.33 monthly revenue I will switch to a paid plan.Hope this helped.Yordan

If you are talking about ftp to your Xisto account, you have nothing special to do. As soon as you start being hosted, your website is something like yourname.astahost.com . Just verify that you can reach your cpanel using your Xisto account login and your Xisto password. Then, at the same moment, ftp will be enabled from ftp.yourname.astahost.com with the same password as for your cpanel login. Hope this helped. Yordan

Thanks, I will try this way, or I will simply forget about it.

Err... which scripts do you want to install ? Maybe I know these scripts and I can help you, but if you don't tell us which scripts you are talking about we will not know if we can help you...

I'm currently using Ad-Aware SE Personnal Build 1.06r1, and I'm very satisfied with it. I will give aaw2007 a try, and I will let you informed.

I completely agree, uni.cc is great. They give you no space (except for storing index.html), but they give you a really free domain name, and they put no forced ads.In the same spirit, if you are looking for a job, send your curriculum-vitae by means of mentionning yourname.webcv.com webcv.com is fully free, simply they accept only a link to your cv. Regards yordan

I think 240 is really fast.Could you please test your speed with the standard test all of us use, a few pages before in the present post. For instance, I type as fast as people talk with me, and it's measured only 72. So, try with our standard test, it will ask you to type a normal text, with normal sentences during a few minutes, in order to have an average value of your speed during a sustained effort and the nomber of errors, corrected (which makes you slower) or not corrected, and we will have a reasonable measurement of your spead, at least a measurement with the same standard as ours. Regards Yordan Yordan

Very nice point. I hope that they get a lot of money from their paid hosting plans, which give you some more features than the free hosting plans. I guess that you start with a free plan in order to learn how to create your website, and once you prooved that you are a good designer you switch to a paid hosting plan.

Didn't you simply forget your password ?I had this problem once. I never write down my passwords on a piece of paper (simply for security reasons), so when I forgot my password I still have a valid account but I simply cannot connect.

I completely agree with you on this general point. Usually, these peer-to-peer sites are not agreed for officially selling software, they usually steal a software and give it to you. So, they help you stealing software. And, of course, if you accept that they steal from the software manufacturer, you should accept that they steal from your own computer.I think that the only way to work safely is buying your computer with an original software, and buy each piece of additionnal software you put on it, and reading the warranty terms concerning this. Even in the freeware world, there are sometimes bad surprises, which make me recommend that you have an efficient backup/recovery methodology in case of bad software install leading to minor or major system troubles.
