The main content of my site is a MediaWiki installation, which does use at least one MySQL database, and that was another thing I was worried about. But I don't consider it as having "a lot of content", since I only have 11 truly unique articles on that site which I can easily back up to a Word Document or something, so I don't think it's too much bother if I have to lose the MySQL database. xpress - Thanks for reminding me of that link, but does anyone know if it works any more?

This is quite a complicated question so I hope it can make sense. I'm still to buy a package for Web Hosting under the new MyCent rules. The problem I have that's stopping me from doing it is, I want to keep the content that is on the site I own already. But I DON'T want to use the same subdomain, because the subdomain I used to use referred to a part of my site now defunct. This leaves me in a pickle because from what I can see, if you're planning on importing your old hosting plan, you have to use the same Subdomain and give it's CPanel Username and Password so it can be correctly (down/up)graded. I also read, though, that if you plan on making a new hosting package, then you have to delete the one you're already using. I made a backup of my site recently, so I suppose I'm safe for if I HAVE to delete my current package, but truth be told I just do not know what to do. Can someone give me advice? Oh, and appologies for the bad title. I couldn't really think of how to explain my problem in one sentence, though...

I think that all your arguments boil down to one simple fact: JavaScript has its advantages, and also its disadvantages; but if you know another language (like PhP) well enough, you should always go for that language instead, as it's always the better option.I'm not going to defend the merit of JavaScript any longer. The only two reasons I posted this tutorial were: 1. To share my knowledge, 2. To give people who know nothing about security a simple option to keep them going until they learn how to use the proper stuff. As such, I don't want any more arguments about how insecure JavaScript is for this purpose.And Osknockout is right - SSL is some of the best protection you can get.

Ouch... I was hoping it wouldn't come to that... Previous expirience has told me that a "Repair" installation will usually end up damaging some data. And to be honest, I always hate putting that Windows CD into the drive anyway... but, unless I can find another reason for it, I guess I'll have to take your suggestion.Thank god I regularily back up the entire contents of my drives to another computer...

I can't seem to register to Billing & Support. Every time I submit the form, it tells me the Verification Code I entered is wrong, but I entered it exactly right. I've tried it four times and the last three times I made sure I typed it exactly right. I don't have JavaScript disabled, either, so I don't know what the problem is. Can someone help me? Edit: Nevermind, I figured out the problem. An extension I have in Firefox 2 was blocking cookies from Xisto - Support, which prevented it from correctly checking the Security Code. I added Xisto - Support to the Whitelist and now everything works fine. This would be good to note for any other users who may be having problems...

I used to use Hotmail, but I got fed up with it because I kept getting a lot of spam, and they are so behind the times compared to most other e-mail providers. For the last year or so I've been using Google GMail, and I'm never switching again. Google Mail just keeps getting better - constantly increasing storage, Google Labs introducing new features all the time, and recently they have improved IMAP support - and since I use Google for a lot of other stuff anyway, it's perfect for me.

I tried this suggestion, and it worked for a few days, but now it's happening again. I still have no idea why.

I haven't owned many SNES Games, but one game I did own that I like is Super Mario World. It added quite a lot to the series, and it's really addictive. I recently got that game again on the Wii's Virtual Console. Donkey Kong was a cool game too.

Wow this is pretty useful! I don't know about you guys, but many of the websites I own use Forum, Wiki or similar software, or rely heavily on scripting; and sometimes I have to it all in a subdirectory despite the fact I have no other use for the main directory, because a file interferes with another's operation, or just to keep it structured. So I just write my own index.html page and make it redirect to the real page. This tutorial, however, is a much better method. It's so much simpler and much more friendlier to search engines. Thanks, electriic ink!

My friend runs an Invisionfree Forum of which I am a member, and both of us are forever failing to notice when we have new PMs. So, thanks for this code - I think we'll both find it useful. Hey, this code should be a default function of Invision Forums!

It's a cool design, and very appropriate for the site's theme, but like everybody else said: your header and logo needs to be more visible, and just be a little more creative with the pictures. And I think bishoujo had a point when she said about changing those "CD-like icons" to paint splats...

OpaQue vs everyone else at Xisto - OpaQue gets his ego seriously inflated with this fight, with a landslide victory: 16,687,900 more results! Well, I suppose that wasn't a surprise really...

A friend of mine who has Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended has told me these easter eggs also work on that version of Photoshop, too. I went around his yesterday and got to see this for myself. They're pretty silly, I must say!

How did you manage that? Sounds awesome, like something you'd have to see to believe, but I can't help but think that if you did distribute it, a lot of people would start using it for illegal or questionable purposes.

Why does everyone talk about how cool it would be if Google made their own OS? Don't people know how difficult and costly it is to do? And they'd need to make a lot more software to make it feasible - a file explorer, a Zip Archieve viewer and a Control Panel to name a few. Then again, Google is known to support Ubuntu on much of its software and has it's own modified version of Ubuntu running on some of it's corporate computers, and considering how versatile Linux is, making a new OS from the existing shell would not be too difficult a task...A Google Browser? Never heard of that idea before, but that would sound pretty cool and would definately take them a step further in the "Google OS" direction. But I agree with jlhaslip - it'd probably be better in the long run for them to support the current Freeware Browsers to be an even stronger presense in the Market. In fact, they already do in many ways...Microsoft vs. Google is quite a popular topic overall, and one that'll be on people's lips for a while. But there's a key difference between the two companies - Microsoft is about Computers, Google is about the Internet. Though the two may be competing with each other in some ways, they are too different in others for either to be considered a true competitor to the other, and that's why I think it's wrong to take a side at the present time. But considering both companies' contributions, the costs involved, and the history of the companies, I'm going to say that if Google does at any time wan't to become a true competitor to Microsoft and make it's own OS or whatever, then I back them all the way. Google for the win, that's what I say.
