Here in Peru, the major ADSL ISP is: Telefonica del Peru.Three reasons to have a router:1. They provide ADSL connection with "one rj45 port" routers. You pay for the router but they guarantee the stability/reliability/security of your Internet connection. Normally I have my router turned on all day, if for some reason: energy break, dogs playing, children learning, bad day, etc.... your computer is affected, your router is safe an available to download lots of torrents and serve wireless to your neighbors(not if you hide the SSID).2. Any internal device consumes resources (CPU) and may slow down your computer, an independent device is better.3. You don't have to play the connect/disconnect game with your ADSL and wait for reconnection.Blessings!

Another way is going to: http://mail.google.com/ Remember is https not http Sometimes the problem is not because your browser, there are also temporally server problems. Some months ago I ueed konqueror and Epiphany to replace Firefox/Iceweasel because an annoying cookie Gmail is BETA but stills being the best webmail client Blessings!

If you are a newbie on Ubuntu/Debian and need to change your IP:Dinamic:# /etc/init.d/networking restartStatic:# ifconfig eth0 192.168.xxx.xxxNote: This is applicable for LAN: Local Area Network.Blessings!

Nice tips vujsa!!! Last week somebody in the office formatted my HD using Micro$oft fdisc. I recovered my partitions using TestDisk, is a wonderful tool. My comments: Rapco, NTFS is much better that the old miss functional FAT32. Is good for large partitions, and file security. The same in Linux, Ext3 is the best Filesystem for Linux. I don't agree to recommend FAT32 "only" because "is better" for restore data. To keep back-ups and replication is a good practice. Trojan, i seems that you have only a "C:" a one HD. A safest way is to use a live-cd, boot it, resize and create new partitions, reboot, format and enjoy. Get a Gui for parted in a booteable CD. Linux allows Software RAID. 3 years ago I installed a Linux with a Raid 1(2 80GB HD Quantum+Samsung). Ask google Blessings!

For me, this kind of "war" is a great opportunity. Why?The first impression is that Linux will be damaged, but please, just think on this: "a diamond will ever cut a rock". Microsoft is like a smelling volcanic rock, borned in the "lie(law) / copy / money" philosophy. FLOSS will win and be fortressed. Remember this phrase: "The Best things on the life are free".I'm happy to support a miracle. FLOSS is based on collaborative development, work for "things well done". Money slaves are unhappy to not be able to patent the tons of absolutely OPEN and available ideas made reality by communities of volunteers. Sometimes poor means that you have nothing to share.Now my question is: What about Internet without Apache? google without python? or Xisto.com without FLOSS?you know the answer.Blessings!

My question is: how to know when you are hacked?? WARNING! I don't necessary agree with the following concepts. Read with caution --> First I will share to you an ancient hacker philosophy. "You are not talking about to be infected by a trojan or worm. Hacking is about open ports and capturing of services. A hacker don't want to delete your files or kill your HD, that is another kind of attack. The original purpose of a hacker is "to hack your system". Find security holes and then break the security, but nobody must know. Only after the "attack". People commonly think about hackers like criminals that want to kick Buss *bottom* and get access to the White House cameras and avoid terrorist be detected when they put an antrax bomb. Criminals are criminals, hackers are people that help in security. Now, if some hacker 'makes sin' then must be named a sucker..." This kind of philosophy is named "subtility", Christians think that a subtility is an strategy used by the evil. A mix of true and lie, then, an absolute lie. Make some kind of invasion to private content, system or service is not a good action, this means "sin" and then "die". Christians know what kind of die. <-- WARNING END SECURITY ON YOUR DESKTOP A Desktop Computer is the most vulnerable kind of system, . The principal virus, is normally the user. Is like the Earth. Our planet is destroyed by humans. The security of a system depends of the user. In Windows Systems, You ONLY need a good antivirus(avast!, antivir, etc...), also a firewall, an anti-spyware, install Windows Security Updates.... You know the history. Internet does not mean: download & install me. Is like the real world, be careful, something bad will happen if you visit warez sites, or open files containing attachments with the extension: .src, .com, .pif. You must also use this logic: "You read the manual for your TV, for your Cellphone, then use your computer's manual". Drive with care in the signals. SECURITY ON SERVERS Securing a server means be in control of everything, have an up to date system and take fast actions in the crisis. By example, for a common LAMP server, you have to configure the firewall, allow connections only via HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3 and SSH. Everyone of these services have a common port. If a hacker knows your Apache and OS version, then he will look at bug reports to find some hole and then take control of your Web server. To avoid vulnerability you have to keep an update kernel and apache server. The same for the other services, by example: Postfix, tftp, OpenSSH. You have to be in control of your system, what users, what services, what hostnames/IPs, what ports, what schedules, what kind of rights for every service.... and more in low level: what size of TCP/IP packages, what amount of packages, what amount of lost packages and their frequency. Some kind of variation, something that makes you think: "this looks strange", must be enough to start your security test routine. TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER IS NOT ENOUGH Hackers are intelligent people, they know: "He will turn-off the computer, just what I need!! I will put my trojan in the boot tasks". Please!!! Just pray, unplug your Internet connection, copy your important files, pray again, turn of your computer and call 911, the police office and FBI. Maybe your hacker is a terrorist spy using your as bridge to hack the Federal Bank. In the real life, a normal user will never know that was hacked, and how many times. Are you waiting for Fire games on your computer, and a Windows Message: "WARNING Your computer is being hacked!!!". ARE YOU FILLING INSECURE? Please, I don't want to start the red alert in your mind. Only be sure to have your system up to date. Let the security experts think in their servers and don't do thinks that your mother will not. Blessings!

Hi webguru! As order BY said, you need a "BY", some criteria to make an alphanumeric sorting. Assuming that your "IN" list is generated by PHP, you only have to add a sub-query containing the IDs and their respective order. Look at this: SELECT tR.* FROM (SELECT DISTINCT data.id, data.name FROM `data` WHERE category = 2 AND id IN(1957,1923,1921,6628,6377,6360,1942)) as tR INNER JOIN (-- generated by PHP >> SELECT 1957 as id, 1 as criteria UNION SELECT 1923 as id, 2 as criteria UNION . . .-- << generated by PHP ) as tOrder ON tR.id = tOrder.id ORDER by tOrder.criteria Blessings!!

There is also: include_once, the name explain its self, will ensure to avoid "include loops".PHP functions: "require" and "include", are similar but have different purposes. I never use require because i don't think that is neccesary to be agresive and stop the script. Manage missing files using file_exists, is more "smart crashing" friendly. You don't have to impact your users and create an impression of CAOS. A very well writen, beauty and explaining message will help to fight with the stress and may safe your job . Is not a joke!!!Have a good coding and blessings!

If You stopped using your computer long time ago, maybe your nic(Ethernet Interface) was harmed or accidentally umplugged. Try cleaning the cover of your nic with a white eraser or isopropilic alcohol. I'm sure that you can get another PCI nic if you can't fix the one you have. Xubuntu have a very compatible Linux Kernel but maybe you need Debian becuase keeps the tradition to support old machines.Blessings!

Ok, if you are a little "paranoiac", then create a meebo account, you'll be able to add more accounts and optionally store your conversations. The interface is very friendly but for many connections you will need a powerful machine. As I said, is only for emergencies/special situations. Blessings!

Everybody enjoy to play some kind of games, including computer/video games.If the problem is the garbage, then you can:1. enroll more moderators2. work more time3. add/change to more strictly rules, by example: --> game related topics need to be approved before display(like tutorials). --> max of 20 replies for every topic, moderators will allow more according to the quality of posts. --> ONE SPAM post is enough to delete your account and add your name to our PUBLIC SPAMMERS LIST.4. improve your "banned words" list5. add the option to earn credits informing SPAM POSTS Blessings!

Is not stupid, is only the way that we: "the penguins" think. There are many more variables(circumstances) for us than the normal M$ Windows users. threesix, this is a blessing! now You have the opportunity of switch to a well done OS. Just boot a Knoppix CD/DVD or Ubuntu, rescue your files from your HD, erase your windows partitions and you are ready to change your life.... More seriously: If the flat cable is not the problem, then it means that your HD is soon to die. Keep attention to the sound of your disc. If sounds like metal crashing then power-off everything, get a working HD(with enough lifetime) and try to backup CAREFULLY: - First the most important and bigger folders. - Second your garbage. - Third the garbage others provide to you. - Last, if your HD still lifes, your games and applications you can't or are hardly to download again from Internet. DON'T try the following before backup!!!! - Scandisk - Defrag - Sort files - Antivirus Check Hope this help. Blessings!

great!!! my site is working again. Glory God.Thank You!!!The cpanel theme didn't changed, rvlightblue seems more eye friendly, anyway, I'm happy to have my site back.Blessings!

Yes, it seems an DDOS Attack. I remember the last year very important sites were down unbelievable, Imagine Dreamhost down because this kind of attacks.DDOS is only one way of attack. When a group wants you out, they will use every "gun, knife and maze" available. Be sure to allow post only for registered members with working email accounts(account verification via email). And limit the amount of post per hour and day. Some sites are using 128bit SSL certifies too.2 years ago I was on the HYIP business, ZoomInvest.com and E-gold.com were some victims of DDOS. Of course, I lost my money , web development is more profitable.Blessings!

When i changed the cpanel theme I get this error Theme change is in progress... It might take about a minute. Please wait. Thank you for your patience. If your browser does not automatically redirect you, please close this window and open it again to access control panel. Error!! Missing WHM Remote Access Key. Now please go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, there is the same message Thank You.

Hi Chesso!The following applies for every son of God(John 1:10-12):Our body is harmed because is not glorified. Human makes sin. That must be paid with death. Jesus paid our sin when he passed away.Then when he comes, our body will be changed for one glorified.Death died if You follow Jesus. B)Blessings!

Good tutorial!!! Is a well done reference to keep well maintained HTML code. In FCKEditor I noticed that when you look at the source code(clicking the button: source), the code is perfectly indented, well-formed and normalized. The same with Nvu(HTML editor based on Firefox) that is wonderful but only for HTML. When You edit the code and go back to preview mode, the engine reconstruct the code, generating a validated version to be rendered for the engine. In my experience I learned to use only the needed tags. Bad code is rendered slower and isn't compatible with common browsers: Internet Explorer(IE), Firefox(FF), Safari. Some sites are using different versions of the same view for every browser. I prefer to have one unique code, compatible, tested and stable. Talking about the use of DIV instead TABLE and P. I hate to see <DIV></DIV> instead <br /> or <BR>. Many people doesn't care about the code, they only use Dreamweaver or similar, then go to IE... if looks "OK" they think that the work is finished. There is another coders that did not used CSS rules good, then DIVs are a nightmare, because sometimes internal DIVs incorrectly inherit the font-style, margin and alignment. I hope that CSS3 improve drastically the way that HTML is coded. In that while we still have to fight with clients that are still using IE 5.5 or 4.0, Netscape, Old Firefox 1.0.3 clones, etc. I know that some people uses XML to HTML converters, the problem is that this practice requires many CPU load, they have to use caching... Is terrible to have all this complications but is the way this world runs. Have a good coding. Blessings!

I'm sure that the author made his best or is the evil!!!. That site have an offensive design. Maybe this sound ironic but please forgive that guy/girl, he doesn't knows what he made.From another point of view, we have a great example of what NEVER do. That terrible page is saving millions of eyes and dollars!!!Now I'm going to buy new lenses.Blessings!

szupie, Why have You to use copyrighted material? I think that https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Sound and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Video have enough legal / open / usable material to your needs. Blessings!

Yes, "sleep" is not usable. And Javascript for 8 minuts???!!! Why somebody must wait 8 minuts to download a file!!!!, I think you need to add a "song choice bar" to help the victims wait. KDE have "koffee", a tool that waits n minuts and then displays: "your coffee is ready!!" or some other custom message. SilverFox, maybe your questions was made similar to the one I did when I was an student at the school. I needed an scanner for 50 photographs. Then I talked with the principal. He asked me: are you talking about 50,000 photographs??!!!, that will finish to kill our old scanner!!!. then I said: sorry, I was thinking on many photographs.... maybe 50. Hotscripts.com must have many examples for "PHP Downloader" or "PHP Download System". Spanish word of the day: "retorica": tenses or phrases used by lawyers, politics, etc. example: Hotscripts.com is property of its respective owners. Human law is about waste your time and get paid!

good question!!! Here in Peru, copyright is not a respected word. Blockbuster was closed because the piracy wins the market: how to compete with $1 DVD's. Yesterday I saw "Spiderman 3" in a list of "new dvd's" in a "mercado"(informal market place). Look at this to have an idea. I don't use piracy but I don't agree with restrictive copyrights(EULA), every one must decide. Blessings!

I did participate in Dell's survey asking for a Linux distribution and programs people want to have pre-installed in a new Dell box. My choice was Ubuntu because is user friendly a decent enough to be managed for beginners.Linux is not yet very: click-friendly for some Win-lovers, but if you never got a chance, you'll never know what for Linux is.I'm using Linux since 5 years ago, there are not other killer OS like this.If you love solid things and the sharing philosophy, you will love GNU/Linux and FLOSS will love you B)Blessings!

Hi SilverFox! MsAccess is very good to understand databases and their purpose. But please don't think that MySQL is similar only because is another "DB engine". MySQL is a multiplatform, multipurpose, fast and reliable DBMS. SQL queries have some important differences, then you have to study carefully the MySQL's SQL syntax, data types, relations, triggers and its essence. Put special attention on: GROUP and LIMIT. My suggestion for a good start point is to study PostgreSQL or SQL Server, they respect the solid concepts that will help you to have a clear view of the what, how, why, where and for of DBMS. Have a lot of fun on Database Modeling!!

Hi wutske!If you get 777 then don't worry be happy!!! :)Remember that the web server runs under a unix user privileges, this means that the folders/files created with PHP will have the same: privileges, user and group as the web server user. In *nix, you can't change the ownership of a folder/file if you are not superuser: root or have enought privileges.Anyway, your script have to create a folder for thumbnails and you only need 777, forget about chown!!!BUT!!!!If sometime, for any reason, you need to create files with your user as owner. Then create a cronjob to run the PHP script, the task will run with CGI and under your user. But this is not useful for your gallery B)Blessings!

yes, oscommerce can be useful. BUT!!!! its code is a mess, like spaguetti. I had the terrible experience to make a personalized virtual shop with oscommerce that taken very long. Please study carefully what kind of product you need before use. FLOSS means to have choices and OsCommerce is not the only one. If works for you.... Glory God.Blessings!
