  1. Has anyone managed to get a free .be domain? I looked through the site, and it looks like it is just a free setup, with an annual free of 15 euros. Am i missing something? I do not see a difference between it and .co.uk for example, on the signup page. It also looks like you need credit card verification, contrary to what the original poster stated.
  2. I cannot believe people still play that game . I played for a long time about 5 years ago, when it first came out. Runescape was a fun game until they split up the paying and non-paying members, basically ruining the game permanently. It was supposed to be a free game, but the game developers got greedy i guess .
  3. There is no prerequisite for learning a programming language. C++ is a good foundation for all programming languages however, but Visual Basic 6.0 is terrible IMO. There is nothing really similiar to its syntax, and it teaches very poor programming practice; you can get away with anything.
  4. Uhhh, one i tried a long time ago that worked pretty nicely was cofeecup HTML editor, might want to check it out. Otherwise, just use notepad and Internet Explorer or Firefox for previewing / debugging.
  5. Personally, i think that it's a terrible site. There are ads all over the place, and its just a referall system. If you want professional quality web designs, head over to http://www.oswd.org/ . I think that its the best site out there, and ive gotten many helpful insights from looking through the source.
  6. I disagree with that. A 512 Meg flash drive holds many things a 256 cant hold, such as many ISO's for cds. Also, if you cannot afford the 1024 meg flash drive, 512 is much, much more affordable. With 256 meg flash drives, i find that i constantly cannot fit parts of a file onto it, and half to go dig up a 512 and start over. i think 256 is the most useless size.
  7. There is an API i think in order to get a screenshot of the screen. Check MSDN (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx) for the specific API and its usage. I wrote something like this a while ago to capture screenshots while playing a game and save them into a file in a directory. It will be a lot easier to create a new file or overwrite the old file instead of appending to it, because you would have to increase the size of the image.
  8. Isnt there the equivalent of a cookie in CF? If there is there should be no reason to track all 60 items within each page. Im sure theres a way you can create session variables.
  9. I was thinking of getting Guild Wars, i've heard some good things about it, but im hooked on world of warcraft at the moment o.O. I dont know anyone who actually has guild wars so i cant go and try it to see if its worth buying. the only thing that makes it look good is the lack of monthly fee in my opinion. that is the only thing that is turning me of WoW. has anyone played both WoW and Guild Wars that can compare/contrast?
  10. hi, what are you planning on learning it for? how you should learn really depends what you are using it for, like with writing games, you might want to look up using assembler with opengl and stuff like that. if you just want to learn the basic syntax and find some compilers, try http://www.plantation-productions.com/Webster/ , although i think someone might have mentioned it earlier.
  11. think he means 3 rows of one table. it is impossible to tell whats wrong without seeing your style sheet, but i would recommend setting a static width for the table and or rows in the table. As long as you do the calculations correctly, they wont overlap. hope this helps, if not post your style sheet and i'll see if thats the problem.
  12. netbux was a scam, the guy operating it abandoned it with ad money he then started another identical site with different name and repeated.
  13. I don't think this is probable within 20 years, its just so much different than todays CPUs. however, with the rate technology is expanding and progressing, you never know.
  14. yes, the windows.forms.messagebox.show is also a wrapper for the MessageBoxA API call i beleive. it is basically the same as Visual Basic 6.0's MsgBox function, just a slightly different syntax. I never bothered with vb.net because c++ is just still alot better for directly accessing memory... however, if managed code becomes the new standard, i guess i would do .netbtw, MessageBoxButtons.OK and etc. are just constants representing hex code that is defined in some windows header that is included when you compile.
  15. do you honestly believe this rediculous email? i could easily fake the exact same thing and send it to you, and apparently you would believe it. You might want to verify things in the future before you fall pray to marketing scams (*cough* netbux *cough* ) if no one has heard of netbux, it was a giant scam that 'payed you' for searching, but ended up not paying up and the owner of the site fled.
  16. actually forgot to mention, sometimes the other antivirus will recognize the quarantine (SP?) of the other antivirus, and try to delete it , not so bad, but sometimes it will think the antivirus definitions of the app are a virus, and delete it, which is bad. Try installing a heavy duty antivirus (norton, trend micro), and a more lightweight one for scanning individual files.
  17. yes... deletedr.exe is an alternative for the built in windows delete utility. What are you trying to say? Booting up with a cd is just a command prompt. what do you mean by "terminated the explorer.exe" ? explorer.exe is the windows shell, which is just the interface such as the desktop and the taskbar. I dont see it mentioned anywhere on this topic
  18. yea, those are the ones in use by processes at the moment. Also if you want to securely delete the files (no chance at recovery regardless of what software you try), you could try such freeware utitlities such as SDelete ( http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ) . Again, thats only if you have sensitive information contained in the files (credit card numbers, financial data), and you dont want someone snooping around.
  19. the more antiviruses, the merrier however, only have ONE set to real time protection or whatever your antivirus calls it. just use the individual ones to do system scans, or individual files. Otherwise, they will eat up all your processing power, and you wont be able to multitask or play games, or anything processor intensive.
  20. pretty slick design, love the splash / home page. Very uncluttered, professional looking. Only problem is that its unclear where the links are, you might want to make a tooltip on the buttons saying where they to to.
  21. norton hardly messes your whole system up however, it is processor and RAM intensive, so you may want to disable autoprotect except when needed. ZoneAlarm is fairly good, however. Kaspersky Anti virus is also a very good .. antivirus, probably the top for undocumented viruses.
  22. the only way to do this would be through javascript. an example is google suggest (https://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&gws_rd=ssl) . they use a very complicated algorithim to decide what the suggest text will be though. is that what you were talking about?
  23. the visual basic 6's MsgBox class is a wrapper for the MessageBoxA WinAPI call. I think it fills in something like this: MsgBox "Some text", "a title" and replaces it with: MessageBox(NULL, "Some text", "a title", NULL); the msdn documentation for MessageBoxA says: so, all the MsgBox class does is replace the hWnd (handle) of the window with NULL and if you dont fill in a parameter it will full in NULL while calling the API call. hope this clears up some questions with the MsgBox class.
  24. oh also, if you want it to start up for all users, not just the current logged in user, you have to add the app to Hkey_Local_Machine > software > microsoft > windows > current version > runif you want it to run only once, add to Hkey_Local_Machine > software > microsoft > windows > current version > runoncehope this helps.
  25. however, if the file is in use by a process, you cannot rename, move, or delete the file. You have to edit it while the process is not running.
