  1. OK mate, give me a shout on blackravener@gmail.com. I might be able to help you out with design part of the website . By the way, the website is handcoded or you are on some CMS? If so - let me know about its template engine. Cheers.
  2. There are loads of open source cms now and its sometimes hard to find just the right one. If you know at least the main requirements for cms you require you might like to visit http://cmsmatrix.org/ This website gives you possibility to find the cms that meets your criteria. It searches mainly in a list of free cms though some commercial products are included. Best thing is - it gives you link to cms home website
  3. Use other archyvers. there more than just winrar and winzip. I use PowerArch and it works fine with zip and rar files not mentioning a hole lot of other archive formats.
  4. The name of it implies that it is Search Engine Optimized (Friendly) CMS. The webbsite says - dude, we made what we could to make it SEO, but we completely forgot about templating and visual design capabilities of our CMS. Basicaly - some features of CMS were sacrified against SEO
  5. Mate, If you ain?t teen any more, stop acting like you are one. Get a grip of yourself and start dealing with your issues. Move out, so your parents and grandparent will not bug you anymore.I mean, less talk more work, do something, and not just think of doing! Things don?t happen on their own, you and only you can make them happen.P.S. Sometimes kick in an **bottom** helps; hope that?s the case
  6. You should check on Nod32. You can get it from https://www.eset.com/us/ or http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It is paid antiviral software, but? it is resource friendly, unlike Norton or McAfee it will not slow your machine down, it integrates with Microsoft office and outlook, it updates its antivirus database almost every day.I?m quite happy with it.
  7. I'm about to test Joomla nad I'll see if there is something new in templating. And yes, in Mambo you can get design close to your vision, but that's mainly reached through some level of "cheat" and work around the system. Anyways - I'll se what's new in joomla...
  8. You see, CMS is such sort of thing that has its own logic and way of working. Some CMS might not even have a possibility to template. In most cases even those who have some sort of templating feature have a really limited one. I mean, you are forced to create design according to template systems abilities instead of creating template out of design. For instance Mambo (now Jooma) does not support separate templates for separate modules. You can make separate CSS class and use it with one module only, but toy cant affect the way data is rendered: i.e. if module puts date of post on the bottom right corner of post there is little you can do about it and that little in fact is digging into module code and rewriting it to suite your design needs. Apparently its always a choice between advanced design and management features
  9. As this thread turned into sharing who is using what I have to say I?m currently with mambo. Of course, you cant get things done the way you like with WCMS as you can with hand code, but open source WCMS is quick solution :)Getting back to topic. CMS (once again) stands for Content <Management System. If you search for CMS on the web you?d get loads of different definitions and they vary depending on the market author is from. Let?s say Germany?s CMS market is quite different from other central Europe markets and US. According to some descriptions ? operating systems can be considered to be CMS as they allow you to create, change, store and organize electronic content.In the beginning of my post I?ve used abbreviation WCMS which stands for Web Content Management Systems. That is basically systems for web sites management such as above mentioned Mambo, etomite, phpnuke, drupal, aspnuke and many many more.Sub category of WCMS would be WIKI systems such as wikipedia. WIKI stands for What I Know Is. WIKI falls under group ware category as well, so it isn?t so easy to put in one box and forget it.There are some other, more or less known CMS types (I find it easier to refer to particular system by its specific type rather than by CMS as general):DCMS ? Document Management System;CCMS ? Corporate Content Management System;BlogsDirect/WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) /in content management software. For example Macromedia Contribute.
  10. I have to disagree with you. Our computers are in fact artificial, but not intelligence by far. Intelligence is far much more that linear data processing at high speed.When I comes to artificial intelligence you have to dig into many disciplines and theories such as psychology, neurology, philosophy, perfectionism, computing, electronics, robotics and so on.
  11. Yeap, on some level you are right. in expert / solution support AI is more or less just a realy big bunch of IF, AND, OR commands, but in neural networks, these comands are used to "train" network only and it doe not use them afterwards, but applies the paterns/schemes/logics it "has learned". The problem with neural networks is that they can be "trained" to do one (or several, but not a bunch) task only, duo to physical limitations of network size. This problem egzist now, but in a future it can be solved...
  12. Sorry mate, I woun't be able to give you reference to specific source now, but I definately read that when I made my research partly on my disertation, partly on my work as Web Project Manager. Of course, it was couple of years ago and once again, as far as I know - noeone for sure knows how google works and rates websites as it is the commertial secret. Oh, and by the way, the text (not background) colour has to be/is recomended to be black to get higher rating, not to be included in index.
  13. Ok, first of all artificial intelligence is a part of cognitive science and is still under development. Its aim is to create something what is not human nor live (that way it is artificial), but could demonstrate logical ?thinking?. Today, unfortunately, there is no real artificial intelligence. Of course, there are systems, that are able to demonstrate some level of ?rational thinking? and is said to be as ?smart? as approximately 5-6 years old kid.In practice artificial intelligence theory is mainly used when creating complex solution support systems, image or object recognition systems and so on.One thing that has to be pointed out, that cognitive science denies possibility to create artificial intelligence on linear process machines (that is regular PC ) as its operation methods are to different from the ones in human brain. Instead of linear processing units one has to use neural networks that is a way different computing way and functions more like human brain, as one computing element of neural network is something like synthetic representation of brain cell. I suppose there should be another thread on neural networks as different type of computing :PFor example neural network can find out the formula if you supply it with series or argument ad result. It is similar to standard IQ test task where one has to find the next number in a row according to some pattern ? that ways it can be considered as some sort of intelligence.If someone is really interested in that, give me a shout (ravenblack@bluebottle.com) and I?ll try to dig out my university ones and make a translation on it.It is interesting discipline ?
  14. Well, the first post was quite explaining. Indeed, el Chupacabra means goat sucker or goat killer in Spanish. And it is part of Latino mythology (quite modern one though). I can even remember there was a episode of X Files on El Chupacabra, but in that case it was some strange virus, that made corpses drained and two brothers who where immune to the virus and spread it across Latin American villages.Most likely El Chupacabra is yet unclassified carnivore mammal and that?s it. It might be a rear one, thus not easy, to observe and catch for scientific study. It is the oldest human mind trick of all ? humans tend to refer to unknown or thing they don?t understand or have no explanation to as to divine ones, demons, aliens and so on. In that case you don?t have to look for explanation ? ?it is will of god? and that says all
  15. Well, correct my if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, all SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) stuff is based on guesses and coincidences. I mean, no one (except google it self) for sure and 100% certainly knows how google ranks pages as it is kind of commercial secret (like recipe for CocaCola).To mention one of the most popular believes that your site does not comply with, that google gives higher ranking to pages that <title> element text marches with the first line of web page that has to be <H1> element and its colour has to be black. In your case it means total inverse of your colour sheme.
