  1. Because in fact, they are both the same thing. This "hackerized" Google is just the result of selecting "hacker" language from the Preferences section of google. This is just another useless Google feature for fun, just like selecting the "Klingon" language (forgive me, Start Trek fellows), or the "Bork,Bork,Bork" one.
  2. Two methods. First one is to include a reference into the Resource script file "*.RC". Here is a link that explains how to do this: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Second one is by using a resource editor (like "Resource Hacker") then edit the compiled resource file (*.RES) that goes to be included to the linker, so you add your image resource. Then at your source code, you need to load the resource via LoadResource function...
  3. This sometimes happens to me when i handwrite the number 8. Sometimes i write it the normal way, but very often i write it by drawing the reverse path. Actually, i think some of those mispronounced words are that because they are spoken, then written down (books, magazines, etc), and after read by teachers at random places in the world, so they assume the pronunciation varying up on the context. For instance, i believe that here is very common the SCASSI (not like SCASEY, but like the latin A), because someone read "scuzzy" from a computing book written in english, and figured out a pronunciation like Muzzy, some others read literally "scuzzy" like "scoosi" (thats the way the "u" letter is pronunced at some latin derived languages), and so on. Yes, when i was a child, i enjoyed a lot the "David the Gnome" cartoon, and it's been pronunciated always like "nome". In english it's clear that a "G" preceeding an "N" is sillent, but this isn't obvious for other languages. I'm not french speaker, but i guess that the pair "GN" in that language sounds different than the G and N each alone. I didn't know that there is an alaskan city named gnome, pretty curious though, is there any other city named "ELF" or so? (heh, i don't intend to laught at elfian or gnomian people, because i live in a village which name literally means "goat") I pronounce Linux with the short 'I', so I can be more coherent when pronouncing Lindows. I just wrote the "emule" example, (nowadays, i think "emule" became famous like "email", you might guess why, lol) because at some places in the world people tend to separate the pronunciations of neologisms that are made up from composite words, shortcuts and prefixed. Some people would put the enphasis at the "mule" part, but others pronounce the "e" prefix clearly separated from the whole word.
  4. Besides that, if the problem were at CMOS battery, i think BIOS will halt for checksum failure (not pretty sure, but i recall that both CMOS and Real Time Clock reside into the same chip, so if there is a decay at the battery voltage, the RTC chip would reset all CMOS values.
  5. Yeah, you're right. Here i hear SCASI a lot, and some noobs trying to spell it each time they want to refer to such, so the rest of people usually laught at them (i'm ashamed of this because of some years ago...)
  6. This sometimes happens a curious fact, when i pronounce some acronysms or abbreviations, i tend to mix the pronunciation of both english and my native language. Then i pronounce "char" as "car" because the pronunciation of "character" in both languages is similar, but in mine it's written as "caracter" hence i assume "car".So what for "int"? it seems there is no doubt, because i know many words that begin with "int" and are pronounced the same fashion, for instance: integer, interrupt, internal..., but none that sounds like "pint".What are your pronunciations for:Linux vs Lie-nuxSCSII vs SCASI/SEESIGNOME vs Gee-NOMEemule vs e-mulemore?
  7. I think that those restrict measures from microsoft are nothing but vapour. Windows is the most used OS because it's easy to pirate, and Microsoft knows that. The time to come that windows implement true antipiracy checks, harsh DRMs (those that delete unlicensed files and destroy disks), and piracy reports (think of the aborted trial for implementing TCPA & Palladium), will be the next chance for Linux to jump to the massive public (I would get into a mad mood if the new wonderful windows version deleted my mp3 compilations and projects without asking)
  8. Are you sure that 256 MB are enough to keep up an OS like Windows XP??? Even my PIII 500 has 512 MB and many times the virtual memory swap file gets around 1Gig (and i'm talking about Windows 98, that in normal condition demands far less memory than XP)
  9. I use some of my old P2/3 (that i got free because they were to be dumped) to recreate a local network in order tu simulate an attack and see the response of each different system to this attack (for example, a MAC poisoning, Man in the Middle, etc.)Of course there are some other imaginative uses for such computers, I plan to use one specifically for domotics, another PC as a studio for feeding an FM emitter i assembled some years ago..., and well, standard ATX power supplies with some modifications can be used as 12V car battery chargers. Just be imaginative...
  10. You should check this web: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It has tones of Creative Commons material of electronic and computer generated music genere. For more pages that offer CC songs, go to the creative commons webpage for audio: https://creativecommons.org/2013/10/30/audio-remix-competition-from-the-smithsonian-and-soundcloud/ I'm sure there you'll find CC tracks with a license that let you use them at your webpage.
  11. I've got 3 AMD desktop Athlons XP that range from 1800 to 2600+, one Duron 1300+ (the one conected to internet 24/7), and about 20 old PCs (DELL) where they are some Celerons 266-333, PII 300-450 and 2 PIII 500. Besides i've got 2 old 486DX2 ready to be assembled and work, among other assembly motherboards, cards, and cases. So why i've stored such amount of old pieces?, well, i'm electronic, and i like to play with those (and an old PC can be really useful for some tasks). Of course i'd love to sell some PC sets with a very low price.
  12. I think this is because of our concept of reality being perceived in 3 dimensions by us. But some other theories would explain the expansion of universe as a deformation/diplexion of dimensions to other stages, as it were a primigenial stage that we can't empirically determine, but it fits the theory when it's modelled by formulae. What of String Theory? ok there isn't any mean to empirical prove such theory, but it's been shown as a strong physic theory to come into play. This theory of multidimensional stages of reality as we zoom-in/out our universe, appeals to my reasoning.
  13. It seems quite a paradox, at current times, that most countries give support to globalization (basically for free flow of money among corporations), but when it concerns to free flow of information, this becomes a fight that involves the ones willing to get the informational monopoly, that is, the main corporations for media content. This has been proven successfulness for ideas that state that free doesn't necessary mean "cost-free", but big corporations have in mind the idea that if there are 2 services, one is tax-free, and the other is of some cost, then user's choice will be the first one. If the non-free alternative can't compete to the free one, then the corp behind that service will try to eliminate competence. They won't accept that the business is over. One such example come from Record Label Companies, that don't accept that a physical format for music (CD-AUDIO) is dead, and the future for music is online transfers to players, cell phones, etc. Instead of developing tools for that new and revolutionary point of view, they try to restrict, or avoid the use of such technology, by implementing DRMs, and propietary formats that need to hold somehow license taxes for being traded with. But i think that technology develops faster than those restrictions (it recalls to my mind the case of DeCSS, and every electronics company sell DVD burners) but it's been always the same thing, it happened with the coming of video-tape technology at 70's (that movie factories tried to forbid without any success, neither with macrovision limitation)If corporations want to set a fee for internet content, there it will always come up an alternative that will be free and much better (i don't intend to mean costless).This is a battle that companies have lost from the begining.
  14. I think your computer is slow because is a bit low at RAM amount. I bet my left hand that if you add some DDR PC2100 modules up to 1 GB, your system will run like hell. Besides that, follow the advice saint-michael told you, as long as windows likes to mess up with harddisk sectors as time goes by.
  15. Let's translate it to pseudocode: counter=0While (result = query to database) is true then if counter not equal to 4 then if P display location of P, else display location of M counter=counter+1; else display separator for html table. counter=0 end ifend while what i see from this pseudocode is that the last of each five queries won't display, else the code for the 5th lap of the while loop will set the counter to 0. For displaying the whole content of the database i'd do: While (result = query to database) is true then if P display location of P, else display location of M if remainder(counter/4) is 3 display separators. counter=counter+1;end while I'll program in another manner: For counter=0 while (result=query to database) is true step 1 each time if P display location of P, else display location of M if remainder(counter/4) is 3 display separators. end for And this last one, translated to your script: for($counter=0;$row = mysql_fetch_array($result));$counter++) { if ($row["Type"] == P) echo "<td><a href='" . $row["Location"] . "'><img src='http://fjor.homeip.net" . $row['Location'] . "' width='175px' border='0'></a></td>"; else echo "<td><a href='dispMOV.php?file=" . $row["Location"] . "'><img src='media/movie.jpg' width='175px' border='0'></a></td>"; if($counter%4==3) echo "</tr><tr>"; }
