  1. I'm also surprised they do block Firefox and not Opera, since Opera is more known for support less sites (this used to be true, but nowadays Opera is on the same level as Firefox).

    AHEMM. Opera > Firefox. And it is sites that have not been written to conform to the standards exactly that cause problems, not the browser itself (unless you don't support the standards to the letter (cough IE, cough FF, cough non-Opera).
    And what they are doing is technically illegal, and not to mention highly stupid.

  2. I basically agree with pyost.Keep your visitors happy, and they might talk about your site on their blog or even to their friends (if it's good enough). Remember not to overload your site with ads.Provide updated content and remember to reply to any comments you get on your site (if it's got a blog).Remember, a little goes a long way. Adding a bit of content every other day or week is a hell of a lot better than a tonne of content every month.


  3. As I said in my previous post, the Acid2 Test is not a standards compliant test. Currently the most recent standard for CSS to achieve specificatin status is CSS 2.0, which Firefox 2.0 is compliant with. The Acid2 Test incorporates elements from CSS 2.1 that a CSS 2.0 compliant browser should not implement in a way that makes the Image appear to be a smiley face. Opera is compliant with the current version of CSS 2.1, which actually means it doesn't meet the most current CSS standard.

    FF is not fully compliant with CSS2.0, as it doesn't render certain properties accurately (or at all in some cases).

    Read:
    http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/
    And tell me that Opera doesn't meet the most current CSS standard.

  4. Yes global warming is really that bad, we might escape it, but what about all those people that can't, and what about animals? They're habitats are being destroyed because of our stupidity. And will it flood? Of course, will running away work? No.

    And flashdiamond, making loads of junk posts just to build up your credits then try and aim for hosting won't work.

    I suggest, that if you're going to make such general posts, you head on over to http://forums.xisto.com/index.php and start off there. They have a much more relaxed environment and are more likely to give you hosting.


  5. I dont understand how Firefox is apparently a standards-compliant browser, yet it's taken version 3.0 to develop compliance for Acid2 testing. I still think Opera is the way to go for now.It tells you everything you need to know when FF3 is trying to achieve the abilities that Opera already has.I think they should take their time with FF3 now and not try to be a rival to IE. They should build it up properly, ensure that there isn't such a large footprint, that there are no memory leaks, that the standards are fully met. There's no point in rushing a job, because it will only be half done.


  6. +1 for FileZilla again :PI've tried SmartFTP, CuteFTP, DOS and the extension for Firefox. All of them fail in comparison to the ease of use, stability and functionality of FileZilla.The only issue I have with FileZilla is that my personal settings are never saved, only the history of connections.+1 to FileZill server as well! FTP Server for your webserver (unless it already has one).


  7. You don't need 1GB at all.Look at the specifications given by Microsoft before asking.Personally, I'm not into the whole Vista thing, then again I am not a big fan of Windows. I'm looking forward to being able to buy an Apple Mac.You'll need a good amount of memory, processing power and graphics capabilities if you want to run Aero as well and all other capabilities of Vista.


  8. Actually, there's no such thing as Pure CSS unless you're combining CSS and PHP/ASP/etc.

     

    Good tutorial, but it's pretty basic.

     

    Tips:

    Use classes only when there is more than one of that element on the page, every other time, use id.

    Make your CSS more appropriate-ised. For example, .img-header would be better off img#header-img. This stops it from 'accidentally' being applied to elements that it shouldn't be.

    Combine properties like background to shorten space used. It also makes it easier for reading and debugging.

    Never use absolute positioning, the affect of positioning of elements can easily be done with margins and floats. That's what they're for. If you do use the position porperty, make sure the attribute is relative.

    Don't rely on online editors, they will always **** up at one point or another.

    People should really be going for XHTML 1.0 Strict or even better XHTML 1.1, as now XHTML 2.0 is out. The stronger the standards we meet, the better our site will be for everyone.

    Your HTML is also flaud, you need to use the appropriate tags to contain the data. For example, use <p> to contain the content within divs.

     

    You don't necessarily need divs to organise layout.


  9. @xboxrulz - thanks for moving it :P There's too many forums about so I thought I'd put in the 'safe place'. lol.@quatrux - interesting read. I have to say I had more fun as a kid being imaginative and making our own games up with plastic guns and sticks than playing on the nintendo. It just bored me, that all I would do is sit in front of a screen working out stupidly easy puzzles and not having to think.The gaming world and the real world are being combined by developers, just look at our 3rd-Gen consoles (360, Wii, PS3) they're another step closer to making it rediculously real-life.They do become socially inept. I wouldn't say that they are more psychotic though. Some 'gamers' I know aren't psychotic, far from. They're just not socially aware.@yeh - thanks for taking the topic to the next part - how much it affects behaviour.As for the violence in movies. I don't think it has changed over the past 20 years, if anything because of censoring, it's become less. However, the realism of the violence is much greater, with spectacular special effects. Whilst I find all these new horrors boring (they're all just about making the audience jump with strong drum beats). They don't leave anything to the imagination, like the recent Descent and Hostel.We can't stop bullying, and we never will. Bullying is a prejudice orientated effect, not completely behavioural like violence on behaviour.To take on your question of how much does it affect beahviour? Well, I would say it depends on the situation. Just general gaming, I wouldn't say it does a lot. I think it only provides a catalyst to augment in the result of the combined factors. However hardcore gaming on very graphical and real-life experiences, along with damaged childhood or adolescence, I would say a very important factor.***Updated topic start to include the three questions we've come across so far.
