Good tutorial, and I'm sure it will help newbies, but to be honest, I've never used the <span> tag. It would be better if you rewrote it using DIV's instead of SPAN's.

I agree with FireFoxRocks. Partitioning a flash drive, except for running linux, is pointless. I could understand joining 4 flash drives together with RAID, but partitioning them has no real point. I suggest you google it if you really want to and see if someone has made a guide, or a program, to do what you want.

I used to play second life a lot but for some reason got bored and stopped, perhaps because it used so much bandwidth. Anyways, I also played habbo hotel for a while, not properly though, I just went around deliberately blocking the pool and doorways. I also experimented with creating a habbo hotel so-called retro which is a private server but stopped after discovering that it was illegal to make habbo retro's. Only online RPG I play now is the one I am making myself, and it's currently private and has very little work done on it.

Hello,At my school Websense is used, and blocks any sites that haven't been pre-approved, however, I seem to have found a bypass. By entering ?something=something or anything like that to the end of an url, it seems to fool websense. I suggest you all try it, if it works, please tell me.

To stop the word based filtering, use not the word proxy but helper. Also, this would be useless for me, since my school blocks any non-preapproved sites. However, I did find that adding a ?id=something to the end of an url fixed it. Thanks for the guide anyway.

I am from Scotland, part of the UK, and my broadband supllier is NamesCo. They were originally a Domain Name service but also became an ISP a few years ago. Download speed is 8MB and upload is 256KB. They charged £25 a month for my current plan however the plan I am on at the moment has been replaced with a limited but high speed one, however I shall not be switched over for a while due to the contract. Also, monthly limit is 60GB, though from 11PM to 6AM it is unlimited.

It is definately possible for me, and many others too I believe, it would just be extremely hard for many. If I still had a 56K connection and spent 1.5 hours a day on the pc it wouldn't be so bad losing it, but with broadband it grew to 5 hours a day, which would make living without it hard but not impossible. Addicition is the only thing that would make it hard, as 50 years ago using the univac probably wasn't much fun, but people still lived.

IE8 is worse than IE6 and IE7. Let me show you all some examples, Sonic Deck, my forum and website, in IE8: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png Okay, IE8 is being stupid, why boldtext sonic-deck.co.uk and not the rest of the url? And the vertical marquee isn't working, either. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png Several unfixed bugs in this page for IE8. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png Again, more bugs, and some images that for some reason won't display. If that dosen't show you how little IE has changed from IE7 (in many ways to the worst), I don't know what will.

I've been with Xisto running my website for nearly 2 months, and that is long enough to have a good enough opinion to review, so I'll go ahead. Xisto is, so far, the best host I've ever used. My previous, Core-Fusion, was almost as good, but sadly they changed their post-to-host system to needing to make 50 posts a month rather than, say, 10 good posts. Xisto works differently, and judges by the wordcount of a post, and it's quality. A good 5-line post will keep your hosting credits at a steady amount if done daily. The forum is always filled with interesting topics and replying to them is a joy, rather than a chore.Now to move onto the features of Xisto.Astahost is extremely good feature-wise, especially for a free host. 10GB of bandwidth is enough for a fairly popular site, and the space is good too. Unlike other free hosts, it does not have a pointless low cap on how many subdomains or addon domains you can have. Another great thing is that sendmail is enabled, this is useful for message boards where it is essential to keep out spambots.I know this was a short review, but I'm sure any readers shall find it interesting, please comment.

I wanted to make this topic to dicuss why it is that so many people from other countries have so many misconceptions about Britain. First on the list, Confusion of the UK with England The most common is the above, and is frequent among Americans. Contrary to what many believe, England is not Britain, it is merely a part of it, along with Scotland, Wales, and Ireland Confusion of the UK's measurement system This is the second most common. It seems most people outside of Britain assume that the UK uses the metric system, this is only partially correct. If you find a roadsign in the UK with metric on it (or in the case of height limits, no imperial equivalent), you can report it, since that is illegal. In everday talk you're likely to hear talk of Pint's and Miles, rather than Litres and Kilometres, although most official goverment work is with Metric, barring road signs as I mentioned. Confusion of the UK's currency This is also quite common. Many seem to think that the UK uses the Euro with most of europe, this is incorrect. The UK uses a currency called the Pound Sterling, and so does it's 14 overseas territories That ends my post. If you wish to discuss, please do! I enjoy reading the opinions of others.

Ah, the Gimp. I love that program. Back in December 2007, I downloaded it on both my linux and windows partition of my PC, and started using it. It was hard at first, but I gradually learnt things about it and gone to the level I was at when I used photoshop, and discovered many interesting effects, though a basic gradient is usually my favourite still. I recommend anyone reading this to download it.

Google adsense, ah the best pay-per-click advertisement service in my opion. I put them on my site and forum and am slowing but surely getting money for buying an Invision power board licence. The members of my site and forum don't mind the adverts, and although there is not very good content on them most of the time (this is because my site and forum are hard to be associated with any commercial things, not because adsense is bad), my members click them every day for the purposes of helping funding my site. I recommend anyone who needs some income for their site to use adsense, it'll get you far more than these survey things, or any other pay-to-click advert services.

The graphics are indeed 'low', but this is a good thing. Xisto, for instance, on the forums, are relatively 'low' and graphics and use simple graphics, but Xisto still are one of the best free hosts you can get. Plus, there are numerous other features for why you'd want gmail, or googlemail as it's called in the uk, those being it's amazing spam-filtering technology, it's unobtrusive-visually adverts, and the fact that it can be accessed pretty much anywhere, in fact, I use my mobile phone to download email from it, without having to go to an expensive WAP site.

I use mySQL and always have, therefor it is my preference, also in it's favour is that it's free, is used by nearly all PHP and a lot of ASP(.net) web scripts, is well supported, is easy to use, and is included with nearly all hosts. I also like SQLite, and postgreSQL seems interesting, if it is free I shall have a try of it, it sounds interesting, and there seems to be a positive opinion of it within this thread, best of all it's included with Xisto so I can try it easily.

They seemed to hae performed a sort of restart. Only expired, no longer used, old, domains that I had created with them stayed after their sudden domain wipe. I'm just glad I bought a co.uk domain for my forum before the deletion, as I usualy find out 24 hours of downtime kisses goodbye to many users of your forum or website.

I agree with firefoxrocks. GMail (or googlemail as it's called in the uk, gmail isn't allowed in the uk for some reason) has simply amazing spam filters. I've had spam cleared away so well that now I have a quick glance over the emails in the spam folder then delete them. It's very good that it can filter so well, as I get 50 spam posts a day at best, and once, I even recieved 150! Hotmail's spam filter, on the other hand, is nowhere near as good, only filters a few emails that are spam.

I was just about to say what EtherGeek said. Paint Shop Pro is commercial, and commercial software is something I hate to use, so I instead use the GIMP and Paint.NET, free programs that aren't as featureful, but still have many useful features. It took me just a few weeks to get good at the Gimp, and now I'm creating great graphics for some places I go to.

Ah, the good old kilk and play games. I remember, back over a year ago, when I was actively making fangames, I used it, and occasionally tried it MMF OpenGL, an OpenGL extension, which allowed me to make a 3d fangame, with difficulty. Now that you post this once more I feel the need to try it out once more, and as soon as I find my old 1.5 CD I will, I had many fun times with it and hopefully shall create something good with it, if I do, I'll post it here.

As said by halo3fanboy, all the images are broken, not surprising considering this tutorial ahs been here for a while. If possible, can you reupload them? I looked through the text and it seems a very good tutorial.

There are so many followers of the religion in the world that are determined to destroy anoyone who dosen't follow their religion. So long as those people exist, complete religious tolerance will never exist. It's sad in many ways. If only complete respect for belief existed, a very high amount of wars in the world would never have happened.

That's an amazing computer specification. I doubt it'd be needed for much though, and the labour charges seem unnecessary because anyone willing to spend this much money on a computer probably is capable of assembling it himself. Though, a few changes could be made, for a start, 3 monitors would be better swapped for 1 monitor and a projector, and all the software is unnecessary considering GNU GPL equivalents exist for at least most of them.

This is sad. It's horrible to see these nasty companies able to sue people for no reason at all. Still, that's capitalism. It is, in my opinion, yet another showing of how greedy american corporations are, and not to mention evil. Small people running small companies for a living are being wiped out with the big companies concerned about every penny they can make. But that's only the beginning, american people sue for so many reasons that the amount of sue-related forms to be dumped by the usa must equal a ton.

As sten says, goole have a perfectly fine and professional layout that lets you get your search done with no flash animations popping up and saying "how may I help you with your search", as those would earn google an unprofessional reputation and lower their uage with other search engines similiar to it but basic coming up. Also, again as Sten says, they make many new features but don't plop them onto the main engine. For instance, they make many new features accessible from the "more" link. The layout is pretty much the same as it was in 1998 with some modifications, but it's a good layout.

I would not say that hd-dvd is completely dead, and certainly not that blu-ray has won the high definition optical storage race. Whilst it is likely that toshiba will stop hd-dvd, it's not impossible, and several backers may even consider buying hd-dvd from toshiba to try and relaunch. Although, since it seems likely that hd-dvd is going to die, I am lucky I didn't go ahead with what I originally intended and bought a player for my xbox 360, which was attractive due to it's relatively low price.
