I have two remarks.first of all, XAMPP is not necessary, it's not the only way for connecting to mysql.For instance, on a windows machine, you have other environments. Secondly, please, do not post lines of codes without using the code tags.

This topic is rather old. However, the subject is still interesting.For instance the fact that new versions or newer browsers which are not compatible with the daily use in your office or reaching your banking account.However, the current Firefox is not version 4, it's Firefox 5.

Why should the battle be between Mint and Ubuntu?I guess that RedHat is the only stable professional version on the market.And you can see a lot of topics around this forum expressing opinions concerning the free Linux versions. My favorite one remains Mandriva, and I see no reason to switch to Mint or to Ubuntu.The real question is, will the future be a free version or a commercial software? Today when you buy a computer for home usage it will probably have Microsoft Windows already installed; and at work, the computer in your office probably also has Microsoft windows. So, probably, the next question will be : besides Microsoft, what will be the future?And, by the way, what do you name "the future" ? Next year? Next century?I don't know if people will keep using computers as the one we know today, with a keyboard and a mouse. Maybe tablets will rule the world. Then, will a free Linux be available?Moreover, the world we know today strongly needs computer. But, imagine what will happen if the financial crisis makes that no more personal computers are manufactured, what will be your life?

This is a choice : if a guy posting on your forum thnks what he says is important, he can add such a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in front of his topic, so people will see that it should be interesting.

Desktops are part of the cloud environment (each user needs to have local power and remote services) so desktops cannot really be ignored, the reason is probably somewhere else.

If Crosoft wants to continue fighting against Linux, they will have to ket C++ alive.

These buttons are used in order to properly quote the text in a "reply" box.While writing your reply, you can use the mouse in order to highligt a part of the text. if you click the "wrap in quote tags" button (near the smiley) your text will be wrapped betwenn quote tags. Like this Yordan

Nope, don't wait.Your topic was posted in "no post count" forum, so no post will be validated. You have to post in standard subforums, not in the "no post count" forums. Regards Yordan

No need to change your habits. Simply, use the same e-mail for Xisto and Xisto : both e-mails will be used by the same people, so all mails will come from the same source. The only mails you will receive will be the confirmation of your MyCents updates (each time you reach 100 cents), the monthly invoices for your hosting and the payment confirmation if you account balance is positive. By the way, if you have your own domain, you can park it on your Xisto hosting, there is a cpanel menu for that. Regards Yordan

Both accounts are linked by the fact that you gave exactly the same e-mail address when registering to each one.

Please explain. This looks like a site advertising for an online school. So, what are you asking our opinion about a spamming post?

The syncinc is not supposed to delete things, only backup to the PC.Simply be sure that you have the original Apple USB adapter, some third-party adapters are not fully compatible.Unfortunately, this is a standard way in Apple way of thinking.First backup everything, then remove everything in order to start from a clean start point, and then load everything again.One good point is that you never loose the apps or games you paid. If something disappears, you click "buy" again and it should download it for free because it's already yours.The only problem could arise if the price of the thing increased in the meantime, you will have to exchange a couple of mails until the problem is fixed.

Really nice.I used to press Alt-Ctrl-Del on frozen computers, which is quite dangerous because it sometimes reboots instead of showing the menu "Start Task Manager" Thanks for that advice, I will try it next time my game freezes my mouse.

Seem nice. I will try it with firefox. -----------------------------EDIT---- Wow! It works! Really impressive! Most of the ads are gone! Some ads remain (pagead2[dot]googlesyndication.com for instance) but I love how clean the webpages I'm visiting are now! And I appreciate the bubbling showing which ads have been removed.

I use virtualdub for PC, it works fine.Moreover, it's free.

OK, so...This topic is not concerning a new tip for Vista, it's a standard Windows feature also present in XP.Not only the starter topic gave a false keystoke combinationbut also it was something classic I did not know.(sigh)

Don't mix field types and field type input control.An empty field means that no data is inside it. "it cant't take in any data" means that there is a control preventing you from entering data. Else, it has a data, which is "null". Some databases accept nulls, some databases cannot accept nulls. For instance, for compress purposes, it's easy to imagine how to compress nothing. But how do you compress a null? Moreover, several nulls?

Depends how smart you are and if you are using mere ftp or a ftp client. If you want to push a lot of files which are all in a single folder to a single remote folder, "mput *" is very impressive. If you created a whole site on your PC with a lot of subfolders, it's not very easy to push them using ftp, you have a lot of commands like mkdir onecd onelcd onebinarypromptmput *cd ..lcd ..mkdir twocd twolcd twomput *For skilled Unix people this is a fast and easy task, for noobs it's somehow weird . if you don't have a good ftp client available, then, things are easier to perform (or to explain to your cousin) using windows file manager. If you are working on a friend's computer, then using Microsoft Windows file manager is the fastest solution, and the fastest things to explain. Of course, if it's a one-shot job and if you have your own USB flash key available, you use a ftp client like filezilla portable, because it's very fast, efficient, and has a fantastic broken-connection recovery feature.

wutske is right, this shortcut switches between tasks.The real keyboard shortcut for this is not alt-ctrl-escape, it's shift-Ctrl-Escape. this works correctly under vista and opens the taskmanager. Regards Yordan

For people wanting to try Microsoft MSE, get it from here : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/as usual, click "download", don't forget to choose your language and your OS (XP, vista-32 or vista64, etc). You can catch the installer and install it on a standalone computer before connecting it to the network. However, as usual, you need a working internet connection in order to update the latest virus signatures. Regards Yordan ---------------------- By the way, I really think that this info is not completely useless. Nevertheless, the MSE considarions are fully of-topic considering the starter post title "AVG VS Avast"

Nope, it's not a single machine, it's two machines.The Microsoft licensing policy is one separate license for each physical machine. The only way of legally use a single license with two machines is removing the OS from the first system (format C: /s for instance) and install it on the second one. You are not using a single machine because you simply boot the second one without installing it, so your license is on two diffrerent machines.

Like usual : you purchase a Windows XP DVD, the one containing the drivers for your laptop hard drive and video display. Of course, it would be better buying a laptop having already XP installed. The best thing would be to buy the XP DVD from the shop where you already bought your laptop. Of course, don't forget making a backup of your existing system before doing the XP install. Look if you have your rescue system backup DVD's available, or ask them from the laptop manufacturer (most of them, like HP, provide the reinstall DVD's in a reasonable time). Hope this helped Regards Yordan

Another way is to carefully choose your webhost supplier.Huge companies have workarounds in case a server fails.If the physical server hosting your website fails, they are able to move your site to another physical device and restart your website services in a very short time. Then they have plenty of time for repairing the faulty hardware, your website being still online on the temporary hardware.

And what about spending some time in a art school ? This is usually an inexpensive way to learn how to design a artistic picture, balance the forms and the colors, and other tricks you have to learn in order to be able to make people like what you are creating. In some schools, some teachers accept that you ask questions, like "this is the kind of drawings I want to do, how could I make it nice and make people love looking at it?"At this point the important thing is not what is on the page, the important thing is being able to create something nice.

great, congrats!uid and gid, we should have guessed it.Very nicely found.
