Well, there is a little key touching involved... but only once. After that, you can sit back and relax. Just open your cPanel, look for Advanced Tools, and then click on Cron Jobs. I'd recommend clicking Standard, unless you know how to input time, Unix style. Where it says Command to run, type in whatever command you wish for it execute. In the case of this thread, that'd be backing up an SQL Database. So, if you want to backup all your databases, put this code in: mysqldump -u root -psecret --all-databases > backup.sqlMake sure you fill in the appropriate entries for each option, you can scroll to my original post for the meanings of each part of the command. If you want to backup only a single database, use this code: mysql -u root -psecret -D stocks2 < stocksdb.sqlAgain, make sure you fill in the appropriate entries for each option, you can scroll to my original post for the meanings of each part of the command. Then set a time period, in which you'd like the command to execute. I usually have it run every night at midnight. Minutes: 0 Hours: 0 = 12 AM/Midnight Days: Every Day Months: Every Month Weekdays: Every Weekday Okay... there you go.

Well, as you said, you cannot copyright factual information. You could only copyright the means in which you present the information. For example, if the author you copied from had numerous spelling and/or grammar errors in his compilation and you had those same errors... it could be considered plaigarism. It's a grey area indeed.

Keep in mind that some browsers, such as Firefox and Opera won't show your image... they've got default images for Form Buttons.

Yeah, Crons are really just a simple way of automating a shell command. That's pretty much it... it's like having someone else type in the command for you, so you don't have to remember!

That's just sad... how you can you even begin to place a value upon a human life.

As if Trap doesn't get enough traffic as it is! lol. But nice tutorial, that is a pretty popular effect and is very easy to make. It would be nice as a 1024x768 background. (Opens Photoshop )

I prefer the Cron over GUI, but yes you can use that as well.

I thought you had to apply for a copyright, to make it legal and all that good stuff. If I were to display a copyright message at the bottom of my website and then someone were to take something from my site without my permission, what sort of legal action could I take?

Darn, I wish I'd gotten to this before the link was removed. I've been trying to create a realistic blood effect for my sigs... as of yet, to no avail. Perhaps the thread starter could PM me the link? (Hint, Hint)

Well, I hadn't seen it here on Trap, so I figured I'd post it here for everyone. Wasn't sure where to put it as it's a tutorial... but it's also a gaming console of sorts.

Web Broswer Hack Requirements Wipeout Pure PSP Wireless Connection 1. First, got to Network Settings under the Main Settings menu. 2. Select Infrastructure Mode. 3. Either Create a new account or edit an account. (I would Create a New one with a specific name such as PSP Portal or something.) 4. Under the WLAN Settings. Select Scan to automatically detect your wireless connection. (Make sure you switch the WLAN Switch ON.) 5. A screen will come up with the wireless connections found. 6. Select your wireless connection. If you have WEP (Encrypted Wireless network) then enter in your code which can be found in the Control Panel of your router by typing your IP address in a web broswer. I disabled WEP on my wireless network so I dont have to type the WEP Key in. 7. Under Address Settings select Custom. 8. Now under IP Address Settings select Automatic. 9. Next, under DNS Settings select Manual. 10. For the Primary DNS enter 67.171.70.72. (There are other Portals for PSP that look differently then this that you can just change the Primary DNS. This is just one I use) 11. Under Proxy Server select Do Not Use. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png 12. Now go over until you see were you can press X to save your settings. 13.

As long as the songs you're making available were purchased by you and not downloaded from Bearshare or it's equivalent and the users on your site cannot download the songs FROM your site, then this practice is perfectly legal.

If you're an Administrator on a Forum, you probably know the importance of regular data backups. My Forum is always being hacked by someone and they always delete our SQL Databases. Well this tutorial is for all of you who want to protect your data and restore it if necessary! Okay, backing up your data is the first part. I use Cron Jobs in my cPanel to automate the backup process. Just use this code for backing up all your SQL Databases: mysqldump -u root -psecret --all-databases > backup.sql OR if you wish to backup only a single database: mysqldump -u root -psecret stocksdb > stocksdb.sql -u = your cpanel username -p = your cpanel password stocksdb = the database you wish to backup (if backing up only a single database) backup.sql = the filename of the backup and it's location, in this case it would dump the backup into your root directory (outside public_html) You can set the backup intervals in the Cron Task Manager, I usually have it backup every night at Midnight. On to the Restoration process. My Forum is rather large and runs vBulletin as the Forum Software. PHPMyAdmin is a great tool to use for importing small databases, but in my case, it times out the server. So I use Shell, you may have to ask your hosting provider for access to this feature, but trust me when I say that it's well worth it! Once you've logged into your Shell Command Line, simply input this code to restore all the databases from your backup.sql file. mysql -u root -psecret < backup.sql OR if you wish to restore only a single database: mysql -u root -psecret -D stocks2 < stocksdb.sql -D = the database you wish to restore the backup into (you must create this yourself, I use PHPMyAdmin.) Well, I hope this makes all the worrysome administrators out there sleep a little easier, knowing that if they should lose their data... they've got backups!

1. Open the Render, Put it on your sig over the background(mines black for the tut)And(make shore that its just the renderas Shown)Sample: 2.Now Click the render's layer and Make a Layer Mask As Shown Sample: 3.Now press d, Then Get you Brushes Out and select this brush As Shown Sample: 4.Brush Around the Render so the white pizelated parts are gone As Shown Sample: 5.Now You're Finished and it should look like this As Shown Sample: If You want to add some Extra effects Duplicate the layer, Take the Layer Mask off the duplicated layer and Go to Filter>Blur>Guessian Blur After the 2nd layer is going outside the 1st layer and has a blury effect click OK and Then Delete the Inside of the Image so only the Blured Edges are showing

Totally, nice and smooth. Looks very clean, you did a good job!

Hmm... this is very interesting. I knew a little about copyright law, but nothing this big. I always wondered what the year next to the copyright notice meant, I thought it was an expiration date. If you're looking for a free copyright site, you should check out: https://creativecommons.org/

Wow, that's an awesome signature. The only thing I don't like is the skull on the right, it sticks out too much. Other than that, I love it... especially the way you blurred the Punisher dude, it looks really neat. Nice job!

Ha ha and you thought FedEX was only good for delivering packages. Now they've got their own line of home furnishings!

Yeah I love my SOCOM, can't get enough of it. I'm already in a clan though, sorry. I can't wait until SOCOM III comes out... August, September, or October.

I'd certainly like to thing that the Playstation 3 will be better than the XBOX 360, and most certainly better than the Nintendo Revolution... lol. It seems like Nintendo is just grasping, hoping to gain a foothold in the console market, as they're not that popular anymore.

Rotfl... that's the President for you. I didn't vote for him... that's for sure. Didn't he fall off of a Segway, you know those little scooter things? I think I remember seeing something in the news about it, I guess he's accident prone.

I've got a 20 GB iPod. I really wish I'd waited to get it though, because now Apple is coming out with ones that play video and pictures... argh. Oh well, that's my luck.

Yeah, love the brushing and blending. The text kinda ruins it though, it's so... plain. If that makes any sense... try jazzing it up mebbe with some blending of the text or beveling.

I use Nero 6 Ultra Edition and Nero Vision Express. If you have a DVD Burner, you should really get Nero Vision, it's great for copying DVDs. I've copied a few of my DVDs, so try that out and see if it works for you.

I'll probably get a Playstation 3... if they aren't too expensive. Which, they probably will be. But for the time being, I'm content with SOCOM II and the soon to come SOCOM III for my Playstation 2. I was considering getting an XBOX, but the only game I'd play on it would probably be Halo... lol, kinda pointless.
