  1. You would need to know lower, harder languages well for your language to be interpretated at all.
  2. Can you get a screenshot? It sounds like making a box hover over everything else. If you mean a box appear, like fast reply, then it's even simpler. Everything do-able in js is doable for free.
  3. There must be free versions for this task. If I ever get an iPod, I'd always use alternatives to iTunes.
  4. USB internet is probably more popular, and certainly better, and probably a bit simpler to start using. Still, not everyone can do that.
  5. He means that in this area of the forum, topics dissapear to you as well until a moderator sees them. Your connection cannot be too fast for what you were loading before to not have had the direct effected planned.
  6. I have three fan gaps, one is unused, one is out by the PSU, and one is weakly in. A few internal fans, over CPU and something else (not gpu, that's integrated). Should I change something, like make all case fans go out?
  7. True, internal security is good, it's just security with what isn't M$'s (even that is sometimes a stretch..). A computer is crap if it can't take on new stuff without them being thoroughly scanned.For dlls, with moving and not duplicating same versions of dlls, the only thing left is for programs to define what they need in the dlls, e.g. a hidden file listing all functions used in a dll, so Windows can compare it with the same-named, later-version dll a new program is trying to install. If a function is missing, copy the old one to the programs's folder, and the new one to main dlls folder.
  8. USB cannot be Pc to Pc, without a network card and not external storage, all there is is Firewire, which is rare on PCs. Ethernet is pretty common, depends what you mean by lacking modem.edit: Oh okay, software would get around the 5v power thing which apparantly otherwise can ruin the motherboard.
  9. Php is normally (GTK is the main exception) server side, so all the user gets is html. Local php might still have troubles, registry apis or writing to the real locations of the hives.
  10. Multi-platform, passworded, wired, locally-networked, hidden computer. That won't connect to Windows I may end up having something similar to this, not out of paranoia, but it is the best solution for local backup/downloader.
  11. Start from scratch. Config files should be with the program files, lock to the appropiate or admin users is easy. At each stage think if it should be in, in a high-end version, or not in. No point in arguing for open-source, but better apis, and respectable languages (eg ruby or python is in OSX).

    What Ms Does Right.

    Horrible way of getting popular, horrible things along the way (read history and critisim on 'pedia). It's business, they do do it well.
  13. Copy Apple (again), and make 'Snow' (Snow Leopard will be much lighter and quicker, not much new stuff) Vista.
  14. Google for miniprofile phpbb3 mods.
  15. Does this also apply with wiring a bad/unwired laptop to a wireless laptop? iGuest, and my router telling me my wired connection is 12 mb/s makes me unsure.
  16. I still see some places selling Xp, though I've never heard this xp with vista upgrade, even from consumers.
  17. Psystar make computers capable of running Mac, but with an ongoing lawsuit, and a 'hack' by psystars servers needed for OSX updates, I really don't know if I should consider them. At least theirs I can buy something like iMac without the screen.
  18. Yeah, DC power and fairly chunky. Brushed steel looks amazing.
  19. Somewhere between mini and iMac, with no dependancy on any programs.Thanks, I know now to buy from Apple, and there are no major issues with their desktops.
  20. £75 student licence, though I had no idea you have to re-buy it, thanks. I did look at OSXx86, but I'm not clever enough yet.
  21. Lowest needs for lowest price rarely works in computer parts, I'm getting this http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I want to make an enclosure, maybe in class. Don't know enough yet.
  22. Cheap as in usb two, quality no matter.Thank for those two sites, I will be able to see enough from them and the now functioning Amazon.
  23. I want to get a small (anything over 50gig) external hard drive. All it needs is 50gig ish and usb2.Can anyone suggest something?, every other day Amazon is good. Also, I don't remember whats bad. It needs to have Uk delivery, preferbly free (Play and Amazon do that).
