This is a really useful tutorial!I will definitively create a CD like this, when I reinstall my XP next time. The long set-up and the fact, that you have to sit next to it all the time, annoyed me for ages.One question though: How high is the probability of creating a faulty set-up CD and why does that happen? Only if you misconfigure something or what?

Well, loads of mobile phones in Europe either lock the phones, so that you can't switch companies (which provided incitement for an intense discussion) and many don't provide software for connecting the mobile to the PC at all. Even worse if you own a Macintosh, which is only supported by/supports VERY few mobile phone companies.I really hate this connectivity problem about the mobile phones, because I can't imagine it being that hard to at least make them a functionable USB stick, so that if there's no driver you could at least gather the pictures and sounds via folder-systems.

Stupid Conspiracy Hype.You can clearly see, that this is not a photo at all, but something too regular to be a photo. It clearly was made with some digital 3d application or photoshop or something.Plus that Samsung is a Corean firm, what interest would they have in destroying or symbolising the WTC. Oh wait, this strange schmuck I found on my desk looks like an exact copy of your appendix.. try to figure out, what the hidden meaning is behind that.Just kidding dude, but there is NO connection =)

@yordan: Dude, that it is the very first an advanced internet surfer lerns. Most modern browsers auto-add the http:// of course because it is the standard protocol on the web.Alternatively you could use yourpage.astahost.com:2083, because this is the cpanel port. I use this one, because I'm lazy when it comes to typing...By the way, because it is a special port, you can't access it from many school servers.Good luck, Ruben

Hello Vyoma!You didn't mention it, so I guess you don't know.In the Googlemail Settings (in the Webinterface of course) there is a tab called "redirection and POP" (or similar). Maybe this was the place, where you set up that emails should be deleted from server after retrieval, but I guess that you set that up in Thunderbird (which won't work as far as I know).So there you can set up to:• disable POP 3• enable POP 3 for all emails you received since last check• enable POP 3 for all emails you ever receivedYou can also set up, that retrieved Emails should be deleted, archived or left on server there.It contains as well a guide to setting up your email client correctly, Thunderbird is among the explained.So, good luck,Ruben

YouTube can be really nice and funny, but you have to admit, that it is way to waste time for most. It became the most popular activity at my school whenever a computer is at hand and no teacher nearby. Needless to say, that there are useful videos too, i.e. we watched Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream Speech in english today â using Google Video. But it is only a small share that is useful. The player is not that great though. Of course, the player makes it harder to hard-copy the videos, but it also has many shortcomings (for example, if you drag your mouse for a few seconds, the movie will stop). But since Flash is the probably best spread and feature-richest player around it's cool. By the way, anyone looking to hard copy videos from (so about anything in Flash), should get acquainted with Keepvid.com. It uses some kind of user-based ripper, works really well and you can get the movies in many different formats (even for iPods). You ought to try it out, but don't forget that there is copyrighted stuff on these video sites too, but as far as I know (at least in my country), one copy for your own behalf is allowed. Have fun, Ruben

Give a screwdriver and I'll solve any cube.Don't you guys think this is boring? I mean after you wrote these algorhithms on platine, it is only about brain/body coordination. I have more fun with martial arts, which is coordination too.

Thanks, it's good to know these Win-Shortcuts. I'm using a mac, where almost every shortcut is documented, but when I get to one of those rare occasions using a windows, I always get annoyed, because there are nearly no universal shortcuts. I thought the only really universal one were ALT-F4 and WinKey… ^^ Always got annoyed when forced to use Windows because I wasn't able to navigate with my keyboard.Does anybody know a web page, where all universal Shortcuts are listed?Thanks, Ruben

Mhh, and I would suggest "grammatical" for your post ^^.There are many words in there, that aren't capitalised usually "Hosting Credits", "Expired", "Account" and the second "Un-Suspended".Another thing is "atleast", which ought to be "at least" and instead of "active", I'd suggest "activated".I think it is always good to have good spelling, especially if it's propagated in the forums. (See "Xisto's professional stance is a falling star".)

What does this have to do with Computers & Tech? Your post consists barely of a long quote (of which you do not have the copyright: ) and one question. D'oh!

Very hard to find eh? have a look Additionally you might have to wait a bit until the site get unsuspended even after you reached the 7 credits mark, don't be too impatient.

Hi, I don't know why people don't use Google. I did and I directly found a GUIDE (!) to solve this. It's in German though. They talk about the exact thing (steam.dll not found) and offer some solutions, I'll translate: • Try the official solution at steampowered.com. – if that link should go offline for some reason: delete the file c:\program files\valve\steam\clientregistry.blob (usual location) and restart • they say there might be trouble if you have bandwidth eater running in background (like eMule, etc.) • allow steam access in your firewall • open these ports in your router (if you have one) UDP 1200 (used for friends service), UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive, TCP 27020 to 27039 inclusive • run virus check, adware remover etc. • sometimes it might help to just fetch the steam.dll from a freind or reinstall (see link). • seems to work for some to install the cached client (at this FTP server so, this should be enough, guess you'll be able to fix it now. ruben

Yes, you're perfectly right.In your user-table you would probably have one entry per user only, so that the ID is a unique value.Then, when the user logs in you could get all the entries from the usercredits table that contain his userid ("SELECT Amount FROM usercredits WHERE IDNUM = 'user'") and sum them up or whatever. It might be a good idea to keep count of the current total credit number in a separate table and rename the current "usercredit" table to "usertransactions" or so. This would save you the extra effort of summing up the credits total.Seems fine to me otherwise,Ruben

Hi Ginginca! The easiest way would be to create a new array from the MySQL results: while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $mfr[$row['mfr_url']] = $row['manufacturer'];}This requires the mfr_url stuff to be unique though, otherwise it won't work the way you want it. You could then use a multiple layer array. Afterwards you can use the function asort() to sort your array. Hope you understood, Ruben

You guys are all getting these e-mails saying that there was fraudulent behaviour detected in your account, I don't even think that Google cares in my case… I'd like to know whether those of you who got e-mails were already past the 100€ mark?Another thing: When I first tried out for AdSense I tried with my vocabulary trainer (see link below), but I wasn't accepted. They never told me why (since it complies to the rules as far as I know, but look for yourself), so I figured, the reason was technical insufficiency at the time. I then tried out with my (German) content web-site and got accepted. But I still placed ads on my (by then working well) vocabulary trainer, because it specifically says, that this is allowed in the Google-Help. But mine is a special case I guess. They didn't say a word yet, but I'd rather be faster than they are ^^ What do you guys think, am I violating any rules or not?Thanks for your help,Ruben

Truly sorry for your loss, don't forget it's ok to mourn, but you have to stay in life, routine helped me someway.

Yo Chesso, Javascript stuff can hardly be implemented without HTML tags in it. If you know Javascript, you will remember that you cannot implement JS without either an eventhandler in a HTML tag or a <script> tag. By the way I got the link to the CSS validator wrong, here it is: Jigsaw CSS Validator for Chesso Forums Good luck figuring your code out. Remember to work W3C-compliant, will save you a lot of trouble. Then you can still adapt to MSIE. I'm audi, Ruben

Hi Grafitti!Sorry, I wasn't posting lately because my hosting wasn't approved yet…So, I thought about it again. I understood, that right now, you filter all emails, that contain your email-address in the headers to be "Mails sent by you"? I don't which filtering options Outlook provides, but this is not the best approach.Another thing I thought of, which should work fairly fine:Every email you receive goes through the automatic Google-Spamfilter.So it receives the header "X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0"(or in case, it is spam, it will have different digits in it, but then you probably won't receive it).Well, my idea is: Just let Outlook check every email for the header "X-Spam-Status:". If it does not have the header, it never left your account, because everything that gets in from the outside, receives this header.If Outlook does not provide the possibility to check for custom headers switch to Mozilla Thunderbird or Eudora or get a plug-in (there ought to be plenty).Good luck, ask back!

I'm moderately narcissistic, everything else is low. Well I'd say that comes with being so cool, but I guess that would just prove them right ^^This is *BLEEP* though. Everybody can figure out how it works (a lot of "No" is a lot of "low") and honesty goes only so far, because your self-perception is lying to you to. You cannot diagnose yourself on such stuff.There are few questions in the tests, that actually ask in a roundabout way.A bit more direct version of the test would be to just ask people "Are you crazy?".Then a text field and then diagnose. If somebody answers in numbers, I'd say "admit him to the mental home" and well, anybody who says "no" is just boring.

Hello Arbitrary,I've gone through my share of problems with Netgear routers. They simply suck and that's as far as I know the reason for their forums closing down. My host family in Sweden owned one, which died due to overheat as soon as you downloaded something big ^^But I don't know your model, maybe that's not an issue. Certainly a problem though is that WEP encryption is w-e-a-k.Depending on the bit (I think 64/32 are the options) a hacker (I tried) just needs to monitor one day of active internet usage to decrypt the password.You talked about WPA encryption, if you've got possibility use this one, but as far as I know, Windows has problems with that.If that is not an option, you should only allow the MAC addresses of your home computers. If you're not an internet coffeehouse owner, then this should be best for you. Everyone, who is not among the allowed MACs will not be allowed access.To get the MAC-addresses, you can either find them out in your Network preferences (every network card has a unique MAC address) or (I did it this way) you have an open connection, let the computers connect, add their MAC addresses to the "Allowed" list and then you disallow everything else.Btw. if you forget your password, the easiest way to reset would be to plug in via cable. Not a complete system reset.Greetings,Ruben

Damn, if you're worried about this, I should probably sign off right now ^^Did you get paid for your Ads yet? Because I've read a bit in the Google Adsense Groups and there loads of users complaining that Google sent them off because of "click fraud" right after they reached the 100 dollar (get paid) mark. I know that I sometimes clicked my own ads, mostly in the first days (to see how much money this generates and sometimes because I really WAS interested, my homepage is about my topic of interest of course). And I logged on with the same IP to the AdSense Homepage for verification etc. ^^I would like to hear your opinion, do you think Google will just bounce me off as fraudulent and not give me the money? Do you think they explicitly control your website and examine all the IPs and patterns, to whether they are fraudulent? Do you think they use robots? Or is it even simpler and they just say "A click rate above 3% (or whatever) has to be fraud"?And while we're on the topic, do you know any better Adsense-programs, that are not known for not paying out?At least 1 friend of mine didn't get paid because his site's users were trying to be supportive and clicked a lot.And there are a lot of angry rants in the Google Groups, but of course these are few compared to the number of quiet customers.So, who knows how this works?

Hi Grafitti, I've come across the same problem. What happens to you, is that you send e-mails using the gmail web interface, and when you use pop3, these SENT e-mails strand in your inbox. That is because everything Gmail says is new goes straight to your inbox. I think that's the limitation of the Pop3-System. The only easy workaround I can think of (I did not use it myself yet, because I don't do this often). Filter the mail's headers I don't know, whether Outlook provides that option natively, but if it doesn't there's a plug-in and a lot of better applications. I don't know that much about e-mails, but I know, that the headers change while they go their path in the internet. For demonstrating purposes, I sent myself an e-mail from the Gmail web-interface to another address. This is the (plain-text, so you see the headers) e-mail I sent (and later received over Pop3, the Gmail issue we're talking about): Well, that's a lot of headers already, but now let's have a look at the e-mail, that arrived 1 second later.(by the way, I replaced all e-mail addresses with random stuff, so spammers don't love me even more. It look's exactly the same, when you just look at what your mail application displays. But when you turn on the headers… KABOOM!Now this is extra long, because I used a forwarding address. You see the slight difference between the headers. There has to be something to distinguish these two e-mails, that even a robot can do, right? Let's cut through the chase: In the sent e-mail, the following headers: weren't there.I assume, that's because the sent e-mail hasn't been received yet. So if you just set up a filter, which marks read and sends all e-mails that don't have such headers to the "sent" box, you should be done. Another (but not perfect) way would be to just lead everything to the "Sent" Box, that has your own email address in the "From:" field. You decide, what works best. This is a long post, I hope you got the point, ask back. Edit:Sorry, confused something, changed it now. vhortex, this may be complicated, but this is Xisto, home to professionals, so you should be able to deal with it. I don't only explain the problem, I also provide the way to solve it. Your post at least doesn't get him any further to solving anything.

Hi Chesse, I just tried what you said. The following is your problem: The long one-word-line isn't automatically wrapped. That's bad enough, but there's more to it. Your table layout is kind of hard to see through, because some measurements are in CSS files and some in the table tags. I can only tell you what's happening. The one-liner stretches the lowest td-field, as much as possible. Because of that the whole table is stretched. All the other tds follow, because their width is set in percentages (20%/80%). The worst thing now is though, that you set something up (and I couldn't find out what due to the above opaqueness), that makes the layout go all crazy. In Safari it looks as expected, but there no horizontal scrolling bars, so you can't see the content. In Firefox, the whole page moves to the right, but there are scrollbars. Don't ask me why though. I can point out some things, that might help: Use the PHP wordwrap function on words, that would break the page layout. You still have to think, that there folks, that want to enlarge the text, have different fonts etc, so you still have to think about your broken layout. You do at least thing terribly wrong in CSS: IDs (#tdtablemid for instance) are for UNIQUE tags. That means, you use them once per page. Identification, you get it? What you ought to use are Classes (as in ".tdtablemid"). You assign them to HTML tags like this: <td class="tdtablemid">. This might be the reason why the pages look crazy. max-width, min-width are not respected by most browsers. If you do this, you might yield the hoped for results. Good luck, ask back!

Hello, as I understood it, you've got two different questions. 1. What kind of graphics to use, that are good but yet smooth enough to blend in and count as background. We're talking easy on the eyes, but beautiful. Well, there are tons of advice to give there and I'm probably not the divine guru on the subject. If you want to see, what the gurus do, have a look at the Css Zen Garden. You might also want to consider searching the forums and how-tos on design guidelines. Earlies today somebody posted a link to this website, a color scheme generator. 2. I can say more about the second point. You talked about fitting graphics together in tables, so that it works together nicely. This can be tedious work of course, especially, if we're talking backwards compatibility. If you want to do it with tables (CSS can enhance the results and make it easier for you, but as far as my experience goes, you will have troubles making it look the same in any common browser). Tables for layout purposes are deprecated, but have their advantages. Applications like Photoshop and ImageReady help a lot with building these tables. If you don't use a WYSIWIG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, you should consider using one for this, because it's difficult to do abstract. You should think about, who your users are going to be. If they are likely to be up-to-date kids, then you should definitively go CSS instead of table layout. Ask back, I'm not going to write an essay, when I'm not sure I got your point⌠Ruben

Dude, that was verbose⦠but after reading through your post twice, I think I got the point: You want to know, which account will be charged bandwidth if you've got a constellation like this: A PHP/MySQL webpage (that you can host only at your server side technology host) links to a file which is hosted on a file hosting account (unlimited bandwidth, but no SST (server side technology), so you can't use it for your pages). Now: A visitor visits your homepage (which will be on the SST host, because it's a PHP page or so), so now the host will charge you for the bandwidth that is caused when visiting the PHP page (some 1-200KB, depending on how much code is on the page) and for the bandwidth for all media files that are implemented on that page (for example: external Script/CSS files, pictures, movies) AND are hosted on the SST host. But you're able to implement resources from other hosts (like your file hosting host) as well. If you do that (a very good example is GoogleVideo/YouTube, which host videos, that you can implement on your website), then the file hosting host will be charged. The one charged for bandwidth is always the one sending the information to the user. Is it clear now? This is very basic knowledge, it's important to know this. What you have in mind, is sometimes called "hotlinking". If you're not sure, whether your file host allows that, you'd better inform yourself. They are able to take measures against websites, that try to implement files from different locations (they'll look whether the referrer, the website needing the image, is on their server or not and in some cases not give out the image). You should read this article on Wikipedia: Inline Linking Greetings, Ruben PS.: Not only mods and admins are qualified on these topics the only thing special about moderators is, that they can control/change posts in the forum. *thinks about it* Well, I mean they are great minds and better people too of course
