That's not what my problem is. the problem is getting it to check at intervals, even when the user isn't on the page

Use a cron job to do it. Create a PHP script which does the checking and use the PHP cli from a cron job to execute it. If you don't have access to a PHP cli executable, you can do the same thing with perl, and I can't imagine a web host that doesn't have perl installed on it (unless its *BLEEP* windows).

Why don't you just install oracle on your development machine? That's what I do for my oracle development at work. You can download 10gR2 from their site and install it in a non-production environment completely free.

You need to delete the hiberfil.sys. Use unlocker or some other program that can close handles on processes while they're running. Delete the file, restart, then enable hibernation.

Isn't there something in this site's TOS about posting referral links to other sites?

I used to love doing these little mathematical parlor tricks and head games when I was in grade school...the teachers would try to "amaze" us with math...it was kinda pathetic, since the teachers who were doing them were just reading them out of a book, and had no idea how they worked.

Done with open-source software too...very nice. Goes to show you don't need to buy a 1000$+ software package to get pretty impressive things done.*gives Adobe the finger*

I've never had a problem with this. Just go into the disk management mmc snap-in and manually assign drive letters to logical disks. I set my ipod up as drive I: and windows xp seems to reserve this letter for my ipod; I've never seen anything mount on drive I: besides my ipod.

I'm not convinced that global warming is a real threat...the evidence that the theory is based on is derived from models of dubious accuracy. There is just as much evidence to support that our planet goes through "hot cycles" and that the warming is a natural phenomenon as there is to support the global warming as a result of human intervention theory. The fact is, we don't have evidence that goes far enough back to show that humans are causing the gradual increase in the temperature on this planet.

It makes logical sense. A tornado is caused when you have warm air currents and cold air currents spinning around in a funnel. If you heat the cold air with microwave energy (thus making it hot air, provided the humidity is above zero percent) you cause this cycle to terminate. The only real logistics problem with this is how much energy it would actually take, and how to power the massive magnetron required to generate said energy. Other than that, good concept, probably rockier execution.

front fan: inputrear fan: output

top fan: output (hot air rises and blowing it down again would be stupid).

Then you can choose, more input than output (high pressure, pushes air outside the case throug every hole), more output than input (low pressure, puls air in the case through every hole) or equal pressure (just rely on fans). I can't tell you wich is best, it realy depends on your case .

Careful with this...the top fan should NOT be a high CFM fan if it's right behind the power supply, otherwise you create a vacuum at the power supply's intake and it doesn't cool properly. This only applies to power supplies where there is a fan in the back and the front of it; for flow-through cooling. If you *must* use a high-cfm fan there, add a baffle (a tube will suffice) to drop the intake of the top fan below the intake of the power supply.

Yes, and probably incubating the organs which they could sell and soon, more problems will surface.

Interesting idea...advanced organ donation.

This is why I use spamgourmet...I don't care if the address listed here is harvested, since only the Xisto.com domain can email me at that address

The question has been asked exactly one year ago, I hope that saggi has already obtained an answer.

LOL, wow...that will teach me to look at dates more carefully. This site needs a feature to automatically lock topics after a few months of inactivity I think...

I'd also like to know why you would want multiple IP addresses on a dial-up connection. Every time you dial in you'll usually get a different IP address anyway, so if you need to change it for some reason (i.e., getting blocked from something based on your ip address) just terminate the connection and restart it.You could always install 2 modems, 2 phone lines, and dial in to your ISP with both at the same time, then multipath the connection (or whatever the hell windows calls it). Your ISP may not like this, however...fortunately if your ISP is your phone company, and they figure out what you're doing, they tend to look the other way on it, especially if a faster internet option is not available in your area from your telco. I wouldn't try this with any ISP except your telco, since anyone else won't know that both of the numbers using the connection belong to the same customer.Just an idea.

Don't forget about code obfuscation! Because obfuscation tends to replace with smaller variable names that make no sense, it can also have a dramatic effect upon the size of your final script. I don't know of any for javascript (google to the rescue here) but I use retroguard (for java) and dotfuscator (for .net) and it trims my binaries quite nicely.

Get truecrypt. Free, open-source, encrypted disks. You can even choose your crypto algorithm and hashing algorithm. Severa; FIPS-140 algorithms included.

You can get a free domain from NamePros...all you really have to do is post on their forums. It's really about 2 hours of work in the NP$ Incentives forum (there's a guy in there right now offering to give ya 50 NP$ for just posting a comment on his blog) to get enough credits to register a domain thru them. They're an eNom authorized reseller, so the domain is actually in your name -- it belongs to you, so you can transfer it out wherever you want. I got several of my domains through them, it's really easy. Check it out when ya have time...it's really quite cool; it's also an excellent resource for web developers.

Why not just get a gmail account? I have plenty of invites, just PM me if you want one. GMail supports pop3/smtp, 20 mb attachments and 2GB+ storage. Plus ya get all other kinds of goodies thru google accounts, like calendar, browser sync, reader...the list goes on and on.

Yeah, seriously, you might as well just come straight out and say what the catch is. The minute people see that there's something akin to a catch, they'll probably just choose to leave without even considering. Besides, you do realize there are a ton of other free url redirections that are by far better than this? Take a look at co.nr for me. That one's quite nice.

Hahahahaha. The way I look at it, it's not even fine print anymore. It's right smack dab at the bottom of the list of things, in nice big font, enclosed in a highlighting box. It's just waaay too obvious. ;-D

Haha...true...it was obvious...I just tend to regard any attempt to hide a "catch" as couching it in fine print. I bet this is the same guy I saw on namepros a few days ago asking where he could buy a redirect script :/

and now days i also wouldnt trust firefox password remember situation in the new versions it has a bug where all you need to do is go on run type a command and most passwords come up hope this helps i had done to me
Nick

I'm with ya on this one...but for a different reason. I don't like the way the password storage works...so I use keepass. It's free, open-source, runs on everything imaginable, and encrypts your database with 256 bit symmetric AES crypto. The firefox password storage is pretty safe on a data level with regard to encryption, but getting passwords out of an already authenticated session is just a little too easy for me to regard it as "secure". That and the firefox password storage doesn't always understand that there is a password to be remembered.

LOL...reading the fine print on the site...basically unless you have a site with a PR 2 or better, you have to force your visitors to deal with a pop-up advertisement. Really, there's no need to try to hide the desire for a backlink to boost your own PR with such altruistic jibber-jabber as "because some people might redirect to sites they don't own" either. Just be straight with your potential customers. I'm gonna go ahead and call "shenanigans" on this one.

NOTE : Link Back to us is compulsory as some members would redirect to sites they dont own. . If your site has a google page rank of 2 or more then request us to remove our pop up ad through contact form .Please include your registered domain in your mail .

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.

I wouldn't run it from a CD...it prevents you from updating the virus definitions and leaves you with just the heuristic scanning engine.

Years after we stopped using it it came crashing down in a huge storm that moved the trees. Moral? Be careful when building them hahaha

LOL...can anyone say "licensed contractor"?

AVG and clamwin are what I recommend. AVG is great if you install it, clamwin is better if you want to run it from a usb key to scan systems before you use them in places like libraries, etc. You probably won't have access to fix the infection, but it can tip you off to pick a different machine.

I always wanted a treehouse when I was a little kid...problem was I lived in So. Cal, and there weren't tall enough or dense enough trees at my disposal to do it.
