Xiao Xiao, in Chinese, means "very small" / "very little". It's (supposedly) the main character in the series of movie. I'm quite certain they're all made by Chinese

But the information within Citizendium will no doubt be more accurate... So if many people believe something that is actually incorrect, will the incorrect information be written in Wikipedia for a long time? A number of news report tell us that Wikipedia could not clear up their errors as quickly as you (and I) hoped. Read one of them at CBC.ca. If that's not enough, Google yourself. Good point. I just want to note that the Citizendium project will start with all articles from Wikipedia, as said in their website. They call it Progressive Fork. I will never cite from Wikipedia when writing thesis, unless the professor says "Citing from wikis can increase your mark" Read the news article at Techtree.com for details on how it might be done. Wikipedia can do nothing to prevent such things from happening again. That's why there's Citizendium. And someone trusted Wikipedia so much that they downloaded the virus... But Citizendium with start with all articles from Wikipedia. What will happen to Wikipedia after Google starts indexing it? Actually I do like Wikipedia but when your masterpieces got vandalized by some other stupid people you'll feel really frustrated. And though the articles there are not always accurate, many people still thinks it's content is reliable. Also read: An article in The Chronicle

Many people trust the content in Wikipedia, some even cite them as source in their thesis. What will happen if they got infected by the virus spread by that hacker? Vandalism and plagiarism has always been the 2 main problems in Wikipedia. However these problems got more serious these days. As a new project "Citizendium" is going to launch, Wikipedia's position will decrease for certain.Will Wikipedia eventually disappear from the Internet? Source article from Techtree.com

I've participated in a Symbian competition about 2 years ago. Basically I found that Symbian programming is really hard to learn. Reasons are: The documentation is really hard to understand (confusing as well) Only a few books about Symbian programming (hard to understand as well - proficient in C++ is a must) Lack of useful examples and tutorials Poor IDE which cannot really help you to program properly Certainly since it was 2 years ago, something should be different from what I said above. However, a search in Google would show you some hints on how much (or little) information on how to write programs for Symbian devices. I would not suggest you to learn that Symbian programming. And if you really want / need to learn, I can only wish you good luck.

I guess dark has his/her own reasons not to use regular expressions, so let us just forget about it.

I've never got a hosting account in Xisto before, you see... I'm still a normal member. But I got the following warning when I enter this site today: It's so interesting to see that I have to leave over 6000 posts in order to un-suspend my hosting account, which should not exist in the universe. Could any admin kindly check it out?

Since my next project in my school will start soon, students in my course have been allowed to choose between PHP and JSP to create a simple e-commerce website. I would like to ask the differences between the two languages. Which of them would be better for creating such a site? What's the main differences between the two languages?Thanks for your help.
-
Someone talked something about saying "I love you" in different languages: And now, here's the list (s)he might want! P.S. Should anyone discover any mistakes in the list, feel free to leave your message or PM me. I'll correct it as soon as possible.

You can switch off the built-in Windows Firewall in the control panel. And, in fact, Micorosft does not recommand users to use more than 1 firewall as no firewalls are compatible with any other firewalls. If you are experiencing problems using any softwares with the built-in firewall enabled, the reason may be that you are using more than 1 firewall -- and if you don't like it, just disable it. Don't blame SP2 for making your softwares unusable.

And, I don't think it's SP2's problem...

Some powerful webpage encryption programs do encrypt http codes well so they're not easily understandable. You may want to check the website of ProtWare's HTML Guardian if you are interested. Webpages encryped by this program works well when the user is using Internet Explorer, and they claimed that encryped websites can be properly viewed by any javascript-supporting browsers...But, believe me, soon there'll be a "webpage decrypter"... Hope this helps.

Um? I use Norton but I don't have any problem visiting google's site.

Excuse me... but what language do you mean exactly? People have their own reasons why they don't use PHP.

I heard about the news... It's terrible.I can only say that, fortunately, I'm not living in India.

Norton also scans archived files isn't it? I don't think there'll be any antivirus program can detect all viruses, I just think that Norton has a wider virus definition database than most other antivirus programs...Oh well... since I'm going to buy another computer to replace my dad's old computer, I might give it a try.

A website copier is the easiest solution to eliminate all your efforts on "protecting the source codes".Yet, I hate those who just copy your website and use them as theirs.

Until now I like the shoutbox... Moving it to the bottom is not good as we have to scroll down every time we want to see it.P.S. Thanks to frozensolid... You made me start to use the shoutbox

PHP is only a scripting language for web development. You just can't compare it with VB.malapidp- I would suggest you to learn VB, Java or C. They're not very difficult to learn and is good for beginners. If you wish to develop website programs, then PHP and Java is your choice. Many programming languages are somewhat like C (VB is an exception) so think of it as a stepping-stone. I don't suggest you to use it as your lifetime programming language since it's not object-oriented.

There is no ideal Christmas; only the one Christmas you decide to make as a reflection of your values, desires, affections, traditions. --Bill McKibben, Author, Hundred Dollar Holiday: The Case For a More Joyful Christmas What do you call people who are afraid of Santa Claus? Claustrophobic. --Unknown Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. --Norman Vincent Peale Somehow, not only for Christmas, But all the long year through, The joy that you give to others, Is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing, The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart's possessing, Returns to you glad. --John Greenleaf Whittier If there is no joyous way to give a festive gift, give love away. --Unknown The threat of Christmas hung in the air, visible already in the fretful look of passersby as they readied themselves for the meaningless but necessary rites of false jovialities and ill-considered gifts. --Peter Dickinson, Play Dead, a mystery novel. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

The Best Browser In Your Opinion for WIN32/64 systems
spirit_valley replied to jacob's topic in Software
I heard that Mozilla is not a freeware... Oh... I love the tab system in Firefox!!! It is so convenient!I think Microsoft should have the technology to add such features in their IE... but first they should make it more stable and less bug! Soon or later I'll throw away that IE when Firefox (or other good browsers) can view all pages!
