While I was using Wintendo, I used to run PHPTriad, then switched to XAMPP... They are the best and the easiest solution for web developers...Now, I run a linux box, I always have the latest stable version of Apache, MySQL, and PHP... Plus a ton of extras, since I have my own server at home SSH, ftpd, and such... And it all works out of the box...Uploading to a remote server isn't very productive, since it takes time to upload all you need up, then preview... You can loose upto half a minute each time... And when added together, it can become a big time amount, like half an hour lost, or so...

As it was said, aside from needing CO2, plants also need something to eat, minerals and other nutrients... If we were to take just any plant to Mars, and put it there, it would simply die, plain and simple... It just wouldn't work...What my idea was (and still is), and I'm sure NASA brains are also thinking of it, is to create a form of bacteria, that would use CO2, to create Oxygene, or perhaps just to create some sort of nutrient in the soil... Ofcourse, terraforming a planet is a long tie process, which would probably take a 100 years or more, to accomplish...For now, I can only see glass domes on Mars, where people will live in colonies, while thebacteria, the plants, and who knows what other tech, terrafroms the mars into what we need to live...

And on whose server are those programs running? Is it yours, or someone elses? Because, maybe security settings don't allow for remote access to X server? Maybe it's a stupid quesyion, but hey, someone had to ask

Ok, you're going to have to be much clearer than this...If I understand you correctly, you want a certain label to show distance between two destinations? The easiest way would be to have the distances encoded in a matrix, and just pull the stiff from it... For example, distance between state 1 and state 8 is 100.... So, array Distances(1,8) = 100.... And so on... Get the idea?I just assumed this is what you want, if not, explain a little further and maybe I'll be able to help...

I'd agree that Mac is better with some specialized hardware (ie. Intel processors, and Apple hardware), but Linux is great in general hardware usage...First of all, it allows for a complete control of hardware, whereas, Wintendo restricts access to the physical device...For instance, I had several problems connecting my Nokia 9300 under Wintendo, via USB cable... Under Linux, all I had to do is connect USB cable, to a lsusb command, and there it was, "Nokia Mobile Phones 9300 GSM Smartphone"... I installed KMobileTools and guess what... I can send SMS from my computer via my phone, I can download my phonebook, and a bunch of other stuff...I know mobile phones are not exactly your every day hardware, but hey, it's still a piece of equipment...Same goes for my Genius Webcam, my sound card, even my ancient TV/FM card... Only thing I haven't tried is installing drivers for two of my winmodems.... But linux sees them, and allows me to access them, even though there are no drivers available...How's that for hardware management ;)Also, that supercomputer story.... /me drools.... I want one fo those

Do all your tests halt at the same position on the disk? It could be that the disk is physically damaged, perhaps it's PCB is malfuncioning, preventing even seagate's tool to access the hard drive...Also, if your hard drive is still under warranty, use it, and have the disk replaced... And of course, don't forget to get all the data you can from it...

It clearly states that GTA IV isn't yet released for PCs... Therefore, I assume all those who got infected woth those virii and malware and whatnot, didn't actually pay for anything... And when you obtain a game legally, there is no risk of getting that lovely trojan/viral fruitbasket along... Otherwise, you could sue the company that made the game, for distributing viral content... Simple... So I agree, if you are dumb enough, not to turn your brain on for like one second, you deserve to get infected... Come to thing of it, you should be banned from using a computer for about 10 years Oh, and on a side note, hackers don't crack games and put trojans in, crackers and hacker wannabes do that... hackers have a better way of spending time, than infecting a bunch of people stupid enough to download something that doesn't even exist...

Well, the question clearly states: Since they said highest peak in Europe is in France, then Mont Blanc is the correct answer... So I don't agree that he made the wrong answer... I do however agree with you that it's not AIRTELs fault, since they only relay messages... Lufthansa is the one you should blame... Their question is clearly missleading, and in my oppinion (I'm not a lawyer, and have no idea about law), you might sue Lufthansa... They do have somewhat bad reputation, so... You would AT LEAST be entitled to receive your money back... However, since it's probably a small amount of money, I doubt it pays to hire a lawyer and file a suit against Lufthansa... However, posting here on Xisto is a good way to show what pricks they really are

Yes, you can change all your scripts to point to your local MySQL server, and that way all the information would be immediately stored on your computer and in your local MySQL database...You only need to make sure your computer is always accessible, if you have a firewall, open one port for MySQL server to listen to... Also, a good idea would be to subscribe to some free dynamic DNS service, like DynDNS, so you don't have to change your scripts whenever your IP changes...Don't know your bandwidth, but if you're on 512K ADSL, your MySQL server could serve possibly around 10 requests at once, with some lagging, depending on how much data is being trasnfered...

I really can't stop wondering why would M$ announce new version of wintendo, when VIsta isn't properly introduced to the market... I can only guess that it has something with terrible response from the corporate customers of M$... I mean, which company wants to invest millions of dollars into new computers and OS, when that OS simply doesn't do the job, plus, you can get much much cheaper OS, that works with your current equipment...I can't say that I'm sad about M$ loosing market share, but I'm not so sure about them loosing big time... They still have a lot of grip in the home area, and in corporations... It will take Apple a lot of time to get where M$ is...Sadly for the software community, M$ keeps developing bad software, with a lot of holes in it... And I understand why - they are pressing their developers for time, and, as a developer, I know that speedy programming is bad programming, especially if you can't have proper debug phase, beta tests, and quality assurance...And, as I said about Longhorn (now known as VIsta), it's going to be nothing spectacular, just another crappy OS from M$, that's not worth the money...

It is a well known fact that Linux can sometimes make your life misserable when it comes to drivers, but only with some exotic or new hardware...For instance, every piece of my hardware works with my Ubuntu 7.10... My K-World TV/FM Tuner card, with Bt878 chip, my nVidia GeForce4 MX440 works with restricted nVidia drivers, and my Creative SBLive! 5.1 works like a charm...Did you try to install ALSA drivers, not OSS? My SBLive! works great with ALSA drivers...What sound card do you have? You didn't specify your hardware, so we could try and help you... Or perhaps, you are complaining about no mp3 codecs being installed with Ubuntu? That's due to all the copyrights stuff...Be a little more specific, so we could help you...

I suppose you are using MySQL to store data, so you could simply use COUNT(*) in SQL query, to count categories and subcategories... Something like SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `news` WHERE `category`=1; And that would return only one row and one field, containing number of news in the table, that correspond to the query you used...

Well, traditionally, I try to keep an eye on what links I click... And when I see a link that looks like xguxhjhd.za I won't click it... Who in the sane mind would give such a name to a domain...I avoid .ru, .nu, and similar sites, just to be on the safe side... Or rather... I avoided them while I was on windows... Ever since I moved to Linux, I don't have such problems as spyware, viruses, and such...Generaly, what one would have to have is a good firewall (and by good I mean exclusively AtGuard firewall; the one that doesn't try to guess what you want, it simply deos what you tell him), a good decent antivirus, with fresh definitions, and good bloodhound and heuristics technology.... AVG was doing a great job for me, so I'd recommend it...Also, avoid IE in all it's skins, inlcuding ports of IE, like Maxton and others, that use IE engine... Use Opera or Firefox, as they are much more secure than IE, and not so much scceptible to spyware (but they're not immune either)... Those of you who use e-banking that requires IE, should use IE only to perform e-banking, and nothing more...

@kudmus:Perhaps you can try with IPTABLES, and add some forwarding rules...@FlameX:I also had trouble configuring Ubuntu to properly work with my network... You don't need do download anything, linmodem is for dial-up Winmodems, to work under Linux... Nothing to do with broadband... I used ADSL, and my ADSL modem kept hanging up... Then, ISP support guys told me, when they heard I was using Linux, to try and set my ADSL modem to work as a bridge, not a router, and to use pppoeconf to configure it... I did it, and it worked like a charm... Now, I actually enjoy in almost full ADSL speed, that I didn't have under Wintendo...Maybe it's worth you playing in that area?Also, a note, disable all IPv6 support in all the programs you use, since it considerably slows down execution... Until IPv6 is fully implemented accross the internet, IPv6 support is practically unneeded, and has detremental effect on your apps...

My "hate" of Vista comes from some moderate experience, that extends only to install it and maintain it for a few friends of mine...Thing that people must realize is that OS is supposed to run invisibly, and allow you to use applications to to the work... Vista consumes so much resources, that working with anything complex becomes pain... I have a friend that uses 3D Studio Max for modelling, who wanted to try Vista... He has fairly new computer, 2.5 GHz CPU, 3 Gigs RAM, some fancy GFX card... And whe he installed Vista, and managed to get 3D Max to run on it, it was so slow, that he wanted to cry... Has has very decent knowledge of computers, but at that point he called me, and I tried to make things run smoother... Ofcourse, with no success...Whatever professional application you want to run, Vista will choke it, or you'll need to spend a ton of money, just to upgrade your hardware... This is how I see current OS/Platform distribution:- Mac is best when used for video editing applications, and that's where 90% of people in that field agree... There is just no comparison of Mac and PC in this field- Linux is (for now) best in programming and scientific stuff, mainly because of it's intermediate complexity- Windows is a home/gaming platform... Yes, it has wide application support, but let's face it, I don't need an OS that requires 2GB of RAM just to run, and I have to pay for it...This is just how I see things with OS/platform deployment at the moment... I happily run Ubuntu 7.10 for few months, and previously I used XP... I thought I'd never get used to Linux, and I would switch back to XP, so I made a dual boot... I booted only once into Wintendo, and that's to consult a forum when I accidentaly screwed up my Ubuntu's network...I only miss Photoshop from Wintendo, but it too runs under Wine in Linux, but I just want to try and make it with GIMP...So, my choice is Linux, and from few months back, it will always be so... As for others well... Whatever their choice be, I hope they are happy with it...I would just recommend people to keep their mind open, and not exclude others without trying... I tried Wintendo, used it for years, then tried Linux, and I love it more than wintendo, and I even find ton of stuff easier to do under Linux, in console, than finding stuff in a bunch of Wintendo windows and menus...My choice is Linux... What is yours

This shows how people can be lazy at times... Thanks BH, I totally forgot to check that area, before crying for help... I submited a support ticket yesterday, so hopefully I'll be abe to access my site sometime soonm and so will the rest of the world... I still get amazed when I see how helpfull Xisto staff is, and how fast you react to our problems... Even heavily paid hosting can't compare with service to Xisto... Thank again, and sorry for being lazy, and starting this topic

Hey all...Whe I try to access my site, it always times out, when I try to ping, it does the same... DNS records are accessible, and I get all my emails for the domain (todoro http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/)... I am hosted on Gamma server, and I can access it, and get that cPanel page... But, when I try my site, it won't load... Is there some problem with the server or something? FTP doesn't work either... This is the case for a few days now, at first I thought it was just a temporary error, but it appears not to be... I have avout 20 credits left, so that shouldn't be the issue...Help please

#9. In adults, a capillary network, if connected to a straight line, would be around 25.000 miles... That's over 40.000 km... did I get it right? Did I, did I? This is of course a speculation, since no one has been able to count the capillaries in our body, there's just so many of them...Edit for #28:I'm really, REALLY lousy at math, in one word I suck big tine... But none the less, I tried to solve this equasion (differential if I'm not in error), and here's what I came up with: f(e) = 153.34266 But I'm 99% sure I'm wrong somewhere...2nd edit:Corrected some misspellings, that cause *BLEEP* to appear

But again, what's the point of obfuscating hos code, if no one can see his PHP source? As Al3x said, PHP is processed by the php parser, and it;s output is sent to a web browser... Internet is kind of a "open source", and it's contents are available to anyone who wants to see them... Even thsi forum can't protect it;s contents, only it's source code, that makes it work... And there's nothing you can do to protect your output, and I actually don't see any reason to... JavaScript protection scripts are stupid and pointless, and only annoy people...I figure you want to hide your URL page addresses, so people don't see domain.com/page1.php, domain.com/page2.php etc., but only to show domain.com for every page...As people upstairs suggested, look at Apaches mod_rewrite, and the use of .htaccess file...Oh, and another thing... Try to write longer posts, with a bit more detail what you want done, because it's hard for us to guess what you want done... People here take time to help you, the leas you can do is put some time into writing your posts, to help them help you, and anyone else having the same or similar problem...

I suppose your website address here on Xisto is mulhim.outlaw.trap17.com? If it is, you can change the following line require_once ("/mulhim.outlaw.trap17.com/library_project/test_dir/test1/config.php");to require_once ("library_project/test_dir/test1/config.php"); And that should fix your problem... What you tried earlier, is to tll PHP to look for a configuration file in directory mulhim.outlaw.trap17.com then library_project subdirectory, etc... You don't have to specify your own domain in require... Hope this solves your problem...

Well, isn't this lovely As I'm kind of lazy, and I do have a small business trip coming up, I will find a use for some credits :PSo, to hit it off...#2. You're the leader of the resistance cell known as Flatters, and are trying to unveil the big governmental conspiracy Other than that, I believe you go to school, and have no other jobs...#4. This code will put out a nice little woah#8. Velma#14. If I'm not mistaken, every index would be 0, except, 0, 1 and 2#15. Again, 0, 1 and 2....P.S.For #14 and #15, if the array is zero-based, if not, only 1 and 2 will not change...#20 CD/DVD image?#24. perl -pi -e 's/cat/dog/g' text.file#26. X.org (X11/XWindows) system resources configuration file?

This is a scary thought... Now, being that they reprogrammed that LEON microprocessor, I'm hoping they can't do it with conventional Intels and AMDs, but... There's always a but... In my oppinion, one doesn't have to reprogramm the CPU... I recon it could be easily accomplished with reprogramming the BIOS, to allow certain types of access... then again, I might be wrong...I suppose this will be a great time to start working on some sort of a hardware that will protect the CPU, like hardcoded hash values of some sort, stored in some other part of the computer, that would alert the user that the CPU is changed...Luckuliy, as shadowx mentioned, primary target would be large servers and companies, governments and such... But, they all do contain sensitive data about us, especially the governemnts... And for example, in my country, there is little care given to some governmental branch computers, like the registry office... And they have all of our data... come to think of it, why would anyone want to have access to my computer? I don't have anything of interest in my computer, no CC numbers, no sensitive info... The real threat is to large corporations, and governmental offices, I think... Hopefully, these masterminds will think of a way to protect microprocessors from such tampering...

You will have to look and match these values of your RAM modules... Ram speed, that will be along the line 333MHz 400MHz, and something like that, for DDR modules... It coudl be written as DDR333, or PC-333, PC-2100 and similar... Second thing you need to pay attention to, is latency... It owuld be written as 2-3-4, 3-4-3, and something liek that... Make sure that all three modules you have installed, are compatible with each other... Also, try running memtest, to make sure your RAM works...

This is great news coming from Itel... Hopefully, if this CPU is targetead to home users aswell, it would lowert the cost of quad-core CPU's... But I'm affraid that for some time, Dunnington will be primariliy for use in servers, similarly to Pentium Pro, in its time...But none the less, it's good to see CPU manufacturers battling each other, and making new stuff, and thus, making nice breakthroughs in technology... And I'm a atechnology addict

I did a search on the forums, but didn't find anything on the subject... If in fact there is such a topic, I will kindly ask the moderators to delete this topic... And now, off to the world of uncertainty What is a probability chip? There isn't enough space here, and I don't have that amount of time and knowledge, to pass on what exactly that is, but I will try to, in few short words... In todays world, every house appliance has some soert of a microchip inside it, that runs it, practically everything that runs on electricity, has a microchip... The way todays microchips are created, they perform double check and double checks upon double checks, to make sure that each bit is either a 0 or a 1... This requires a lot of electricity, and in turn creates a lot of heat, that could damage a microchip... Professor Krishna Palem of the Rice University in the USA, is the one to "blame" for these microprocessors... He theorised that we could actually turn uncertainty into an asset, not a flaw... Professor Palem has actually created a prototype chip, that consumed about 20% less power than conventional chips... He also claims that Google is a great example of how probabilistic chips would work... He provided a rather long list of stuff that doesn'y need that big precission in it's computing, rangin from CAD aplications, over digital signal processing, database searches, and even financial analysis... These probabilistic chips would actually be most usefull in mobile and embedded devices, where high precision is not a requirement... Why use number 9 in 26.359, for example? One of the other things professor Palem says his probabilistic chips would be omst usefull, is in prosthetic aids, and thus help in vision and hearing impairments in humans... IBM and Intel are receiving regular updates from professor Palem, and there are also rumours that some Wall Street companies are interested in thus probabilistic chips... So, I guess in some time, my cell phones' battery won't die in 2 days, but rather in 7 or 14... That would be great, and hopefully, it will be doable... Since this is a rather fresh and interesting topic, you can find professor Palems' publications on his personal website, here What is your oppinion on this? Have you heard of these chips?
