Wasn't this sort of thing referenced in Angels and Demons? It's not like people haven't thought of it, but the implications of having completely reversed matter in a world of normal matter are sorta wonky. Actually being able to find, create, contain, or otherwise work with antimatter would sort of prove that everything has a balance - black holes have white holes, parallel universes might be possible.But then again, I just have the workings of a conspiracy theorist.

Well, yeah, but I was thinking of floating a linkable header image on a background. Glad to know that you like it! I'll get you a background soon.

Gosh, that happened to me. I don't blame the lunchladies though because they have to put up with twice as many stupid people as you do in a normal day - stupid, mean, and disrespectful people usually - so I lost like $3. It's a lot for me, but I actually forgot until right now

That would be spiffy keen. Hopefully it'll be back up sometime today. I'm about to burst with INTARWEBZ creativity v. 3.04DQSS.Pi. GO GO TEAM OPAQUE AIIIIIII!

I'm worried about it being exploited. Does it only count alphanumeric characters or all ASCII?

Yes, it's a lovely game. Addictive, but so much fun.

OKAY, TEXT WALL HURTS BISKIE'S EYES AND BRAIN. Use paragraphs please!I believe in euthanasia in the same way I believe it should be allowed for humans in terminally ill states. If you ever suffer from terminal cancer, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer's, ALS, or some similarly debilitating disease, it's either wait out the rest of your life in agony (assuming you're out of options) or hang in there and see if something turns around. Therefore, if something happened to my dog - god forbid - I would try every option, but if there wasn't one, it wouldn't be fair to let her whimper and whine around me when I can't help her at all. I would do it without a second thought, because that's love - tough love, but everything lives and dies. It's never fair, but it's right.

Okay, relating to what Sinari said: Just because they're atheists doesn't mean they don't have morals. These are personal decisions. Just because an ancient book tells some people what to do and how they can attain whatever through THEIR FAITH doesn't mean it applies to everyone, nor should it. At our very core, we are all individual creatures with our own morals, etc. Morals are influenced by environment, chiefly. Religion is simply there to bolster morals by offering consequences. If you do this, you get this. If you don't do this, this happens. I have several friends who are atheists who are better people than myself. And on another note, I have Christian friends who are anything but angels. You cannot assign people to stereotypes based on their religion/lack thereof.And concerning Idle: I believe in reincarnation in a more fundamental sense. It's the Circle of Life rather than samsara :)Religion simply exists to explain what we don't know or can't understand. Creation, death, life after death, up until things that are out of the ordinary. Just because they're weird doesn't make them miracles, but again, that's up to whoever to decide.

This happened to me about a week ago, but I believe I solved it for the time being. Same group, same annoying thing. As far as their procedure, they somehow infiltrate the index page of a site and replace it with their own code. They can't actually get to most of the other files. For a forum page, I'm not sure how to get it back. Your posts are probably still there, but the index page is probably gone. Get the index file again from where you downloaded the forum/theme and paste it back. You might have to change the images up or whatever, but the actual code should remain the same. It's pretty annoying, but with Movable Type, you can just rebuild and get rid of their stupid code.

No, it's like this:Monthly: $14.99/monthQuarter-annually (every 3 months): $13.99/monthBiannually (every 6 months): $12.99/monthNaturally, the 6-month plan is the cheapest.

Concept 2: Gotta take my dog to the vet really fast so I'll be gone for a little while.

The trial isn't worth it, but the game is. I have Collector's Edition, so I shouldn't be talking, but I don't like giving game passes to people. It's absolutely stupid, I feel. You end up buying an account anyway

I know, but I've used Photobucket for forever. I can definitely work in a teal, but reds appeal to me, as you can see. They're all very vibrant colors. And actually, for some reason the document didn't save as the highest quality or something, because the one on my computer is a great deal more vibrant. I'll make the changes and get it back to you with some other random images - and good point about Yahoo!

Yeah, my ISP was just screwing up the link - still is, I have to manually type out links. I'll get on it. If you don't have a preferred color scheme, I'll probably lean towards grays, blues, blacks, some random bright color for an accent. Those seem pretty techy colors for me, unless you have a theme in mind. I'll probably finish it tomorrow after school, so e-mail me (profile), IM me (alos profile) or PM me with any suggestions for it. -Concept art. I can always change the colors, but I was wondering if you were all right with something like that. I can always modify the logo, and I was actually thinking of because this doesn't convey "happy" or "php" very well. Lemme know what you think! Notice from BuffaloHELP: Merging.

Got it! I see no images, so let me know what kind of scheme you're looking for.

Addressing Hadi: Religion is an opinion, deal with it. You can't impose your view on religion on anyone else just because you feel it's right. You're not going to get brownie points for conversions. Get out of the Inquisition/Great Awakening ideology and get you some culture. For starters, try realizing that not everyone WANTS religion and what you're suggesting is utter conformity for the sake of the "higher being". In this day and age, that's pretty much not an option. Addressing Pixie: Okay...the very fact that you're stating that as total fact disturbs me. The fact that we're alive and able to talk about these things is pretty much evolutionary luck. We could be dinosaurs with the same mental facilities doing the same things, but we wound up with hands and very small puny teeth - not exactly a fair trade, if you ask me. At any rate, in a few billion years, the sun is going to freak out and burn whatever parts of the earth haven't been ravaged by nuclear wars; and in Houston, the sunshine is ALWAYS inconvenient. There goes your ideal of the "perfect amount of light".Whoever said Hindus worship cows: NO NO NO NO NO. That's the most ignorant thing I hear about my religion every day. The cow is a sacred symbol just as much as the cross is for Christians. We WORSHIP Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma, or other gods/goddesses, not their symbols. I personally don't feel too much anger, but it makes me feel suddenly inferior to people who say that. It's like, "Thank you for telling me that your god is going to protect me where mine's supposed to." If I didn't like the mythology and values of Hinduism so much, I'd probably consider myself to be atheist. The best morals are determined by everyday life - by one's environment. You have to be ready to adapt, which I feel religion is inadequate to do. It creates intense pressure on the individual to fulfill the regulations of an organized religion in order to attain supreme happiness. Things that used to be voluntary acts are now oozing with religious suggestions - like this "I'll pray for you" thing. I'm more than capable of solving situations for myself; there's no need for someone to tell me, even as innocently as that, that they've got Someone keeping an eye out for me. Religion, itself, seems to change into one giant sect of Christianity, and leaves the rest of the world behind, which is why I probably get incensed by the implications of that -- that my religion is suddenly inferior to the Christian machine.But even so, I throw in a "bless you" every now and then because it's convention, and everyone does it regardless of religion. It feels universal, so I like it. Nowadays, that's sort of what we need. With the Pope, the Bible Belt, and the few but vocal fanatics of both my faith, Islam, and a few others rearranging ideologies, maybe a little unification is necessary. They pulled this off in Dune, which I thought was very cool. Zen-Sunni, anybody?On that note... whatever happened to the Unitarians?

The HandyPHP link doesn't work for me :/

Avoid frames if you can; a div can do the same thing much cleaner. Put between your HTML tags. The position:fixed is the most important part. Try this instead; mine doesn't work correctly: http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/cssframes/ Hope that works; test it out!

Actually, that's not true. The only meat that's offlimits to Hindu (myself being one) is beef because of the whole cow thing. I know many Hindus (not myself) who eat meat because it's so readily available here and the quality is probably better than in India. But that's true; a religion has no bearing over how someone acts, which is why I still believe it's up to the human to influence their own morals because morals are always going to change in some way. Therefore we shouldn't classify people by their religion.

Fanatics are only a very small portion of a religious following, and if they get all the publicity, you're going to have discussions like this. In the same way that not every Christian is ultra-conservative, not every Muslim is related to terrorism - the fact that we even associate people like that is bad. Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist, but he wasn't Muslim. When fanatics of a peaceful religion get out of hand, the entire religion is victimized and it's not fair to anyone. I'm hesitant about every grouping people because of the prescence of stereotypes. We are all hurt by them, and although it's not possible to stop them (grouping ideas is a fundamental part of human logic), perhaps if we lessen their influence on society, we can return to a sort of peace which will end up being very necessary if we get ourselves into another war before Bush's term ends (HATE).

Holy crap, there's a cPanel 11? And now a 12?! Where have I been these past few months? Concerning the 12: I REALLY like how ours look now. The 12 version just seems ugly and overdone. Not only does it use frames (ick!) but its graphics are really fuzzy, not clean and crystally. In addition, who likes the tooltips? The text is tiny and the edges are jagged. And the necessity for them could be avoided without fear if they made their links clearer - which they don't need to. It's a small mercy that they can be disabled. As far as the information area goes, I like the concept of using blocks to show what percentage of something has been done, but the blocks are ridiculously ugly looking. Not to mention, the column is squished and Biskie is confused. I know this is just a test, but if the final version ends out looking like this, can we please stay with what we have? Or maybe 11, since I haven't seen that yet? Bad cPanel, bad!

I wouldn't say the root of all evil. He's a fallible TEENAGER for god's sake. Who's going to expect him (and yes, I can do a little bashing of my own generation) to have complete control over his life? You've got to remember, this is sort of an alternate universe from ours. Guns don't kill people; magic does, and magic is everywhere. It's a war, essentially, and people die in wars. So no - he's not evil - he's never killed anyone for the sake of killing them, nor has he done it in self defense. Can you recall a single moment where HE was the one who cast the spell? No, it was someone else every time. That's what Rowling wants to point out. Just because someone watches while another person trips and falls down 70 flights of stairs doesn't mean they did it. If you still believe that, read the books again and recall that Harry doesn't have a superior control over his mind or his magic. When he charges out somewhere, people follow him of their own volition. He may be stupid for doing that, but he's not responsible for what happens next.

You know, I was planning to do something like that for my novel-in-progess this week. I can't wait until columns get integrated into CSS; then you can do two columns with adjustable height, width, margins, and padding. I'm honestly drooling. Until then, try two divs right next to each other. Keep the font at around 12px - 14px, but you might want to use percentages (~85% is 12, because I think browser default is 16px). Make use of padding! For creative navigation, you might want to make little arrows where the page numbers go, to make it feel like actually reading a book. Keep graphics to a minimum because people want to read the book, not admire your graphical capabilities; however, you might want to invest a leeetle bit of time into a papery background to improve the atmosphere.Best of luck! I need to start on that project soon before I forget.

I always have a backup of the layout on my computer, updated every week or so. The databases, however, are going to a *BLEEP* to retain if anything happens. If you can't give me the URL, can you give me any tips to secure my site? I'd hate to put the love into my site that I do and still know there was a gaping hole somewhere. Notice from saint-michael: insteading of making a post, I do it this way, read the pm I sent about how you can secure your website. MERGINGI installed an MT security patch, but I guess I'm going to have to wait and see if it actually works. It's kinda funny, waiting for something bad to happen so you can see if whatever you're doing is actually helping.

Thanks for all the advice! I use Movable Type, which I figured was fairly safe. HOWEVER, I didn't clarify - they're simply editing the shell of the home page - index.php - and filling it in with their own crappy code. So when I rebuild, it changes it to the saved version I have through Movable Type. Because they can't access the backend, they can't change the original code, but I'm worried they'll learn how. I virus check once a week, and check spyware and adware a little more often than that. Even if it was something on my computer, I don't save any of my files on my computer. I edit them all through the FTP. I don't think it's a server vulnerability, so there's probably no reason to get alarmed, but I'd like to be able to beef up what I do have going. Thank you guys again, let's fix this together and kick some butt!<3 Biskie
