  1. Sounds like Gator-related spyware. I'd run Ad-Aware and any other spyware removal tools you might have lying around to see if there are any other parts lying around.And be more careful about installing things.
  2. If you want to see what kind of nice 3D game you can make using Java, go here. It's a really neat java applet game. If you use Java you don't have to port your game to different platforms at all. It will run on any platform (where the JVM can run) without any modifications needed. If you want to start making games, don't try to make your own DOOM3 as your first project. I suggest that you read around on these pages to get an idea. Once you know how to program you should read this article before you start making games.
  3. Well, servlets are more powerful than ASP and PHP. Although I guess it can depend a bit on how you define powerful of course, but servlets basically let you do anything that normal Java lets you do. Which is quite a bit.
  4. Well, the easiet fix would be to edit the query that gets the data from the database. Yo don't have to edit the database itself at all.If you have something likeSELECT * FROM chatsyou should have SELECT * FROM chats ORDER BY date DESCEdit the table and field names to fit your database. I always get confused when sorting date fields, but I think DESC does newest to oldest, but if it still shows oldest first, replace DESC with ASC.
  5. And apparently some do want to talk about it. Anyway, I strongly believe that all of the sins (with a possible exception of gluttony) are in fact good in moderation.

    Firefox

    If you find something that you don't think is working properly you should file a bug report. How else are the developers going to know about it? Firefox, Firefox, As good as whiskey on the rocks, Crawls the web, any size, Catches pop-ups just like flies Look Out! Here comes the Firefox! Okay, so I was bored. Sing the above to the tune of the Spiderman theme tune.
  7. This should work <?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>
  8. I don't really understand what your contract might include. Is it just design, or build as well. And do you want us to give you suggestions for pricing of just designing or both design and build? If it's design and build, we need to know if you're going to add a CMS for the management of photographs and other things on the site and if so how complex it will be. There are so many things you need to take into consideration that it's very hard for us to give you good advice, especially since we have no idea what your normal pricing range is.
  9. The last two movies I saw were Cidade de Deus and Coffee and Cigarettes. Both were very good movies. Cidade de Deus (City of God) was a movie that made an impression I guess you could say, definitely not for small kids. The movie is about the growing up of the main character "Rocket" and the people around him in the slums of Rio de Janiero. I've liked most things that Jarmusch (the maker of Coffee and Cigarettes) has made so I guess it isn't too surprising I liked this one. It's a series of short unrelated scenes, with coffee and cigarettes linking them. I think my favourite scene was the one with Tom Waits and Iggy Pop.
  10. I have the problem as well. I have package 1 The following in "Preinstalled Scripts / Addon Scripts" give an error: 4Images AardvarkTopsites AdvancedPoll Classifieds Coppermine CubeCart CuteNews Drupal FAQMasterFlex Gallery Geeklog HelpCenterLive Mambo Moodle Nucleus ODFaq OneOrZeroHelpDesk OpenRealty PHPSurveyor PHProjekt PostNuke Siteframe SupportLogic SupportServicesManager TikiWiki VortexPortal WebCalendar WordPress XMB Xoops YaBBSE ZenCart b2 b2evolution bMachine dotProject livehelp osTicket pMachine paFileDB phpAdsNew phpAuction phpCollab phpDig phpESP phpFormGenerator phpLinks phpList phpMyFAQ phpSupportTickets phpWebSite phpwcms punBB Addons that don't give an error: AdvancedGuestBook InvisionBoard PhpWiki iPeiGuestBook osCommerce PHP-Nuke phpBB I get this message: "Sorry, your current hosting plan doesn't support the requested feature.

The error page is: /frontend/rvlightteal/rvupgrade.html?feature=p_addon Note that I don't try to install anything, I'm just clicking on the link in the addons section to get to the install/upgrade/remove screen.
  11. So you don't really think about your visitors at all? If they don't have what you have it's their problem? You do realise that there are more people using 800x600 screens than there are using mozilla-based browsers?
  12. Actually, I think he made a sound investment. From what I've heard/read about the game he should be able to make profit on his island without too much work. You have to understand that he didn't spend lots of money just to own a piece of virtual island to look at it. Anyone with a crayon can make that. He made a real investment and he's made the investment to make money. Saying that he could have made an island himself is missing the point. I'm sure he would need a lot more money to 1. Learn lots of C++ 2. Learn game programming 3. Learn 3D modelling 4. Get a development team 5. Get visitors 6. Get visitors who pay Not to mention that he perhaps doesn't want to be a games programmer and a project manager and a marketer at the same time. Some people invest in physical islands, he chose for a virtual island. And I have no doubt he'll turn a profit.
  13. JSP is a bit like PHP or ASP, in the sense that it is a sever scripting language. The simple (and somewhat inaccurate) explanation: It's basically Java with a few extra bits. If you just want a short explanation, Wikipedia have a pretty good one, with a short bit first and then a longer, bit more in-depth bit. Read it here. If you want lots of technical info I'd suggest Sun's JSP pages (Sun is the company behind Java (and in extension JSP)). Please note that JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that has nothing to do with Java.
  14. Okay. I am assuming this isn't on Xisto because as far as I know we only get MySQL and postgress databases here. If you have access to the sql server and are allowed to change settings you have to change the authentication mode in the SQL server properties from "Windows only" to "SQL Server and Windows". This is not a java/jsp problem, you would probably get that error with any app you make. Hope this helps, otherwise google came up with quite a lot of results. Good luck.
  15. Hi!It looks like there are going to be a lot of graphics tutorials in the "How to's and Tutorials" section. Perhaps it would be good to make a sub forum just for graphics tutorials?
  16. D'oh! Thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was weird that it didn't work...
  17. Actually, the language was named after Alan Turing. It was developed by Ric Holt and James Cordy. I just had to mention it. Alan Turing was a genius, a brilliant mathematician and he did a lot of work breaking German cyphers during the second world war. He commited suicide in 1954 though, and so has had no part in the development of the Turing language.
  18. Uhm , stevey, he said he didn't want to use regex, so I think no9t9's solution would do just fine. Your solution uses regex.
  19. Why don't you want to use the regular expression? I'm just curious. This bit is for people who want to check if an email address is valid using regex but don't know how: //$email is the variable with the email addressif (eregi('^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,4})$', $email)) { //do things because the address is valid} else { //do things because the address is NOT valid}Note that you can edit it some more if you want to ensure that the domain name isn't longer than 63 character (or whatever the limit is). And you could theoretically check for every single valid tld if you have it in a list instead of "([a-zA-Z]{2,4})". In fact, you could theoretically look up the full domain name to see if it exists... But this regex should be okay.
  20. Thanks for the tip, this was the kind of advice I was looking for. I really want to be able to customize things as much as I want, so Geeklog does sound good. Unfortunately I've already installed Movable Type and am busy playing around with it to find out what I can do with it. I might try Geeklog later on when I've played with MT a bit.
  21. Doesn't work on the small one (3x3) though: - 1 -2 - -- - 3- 1 42 5 -6 - 39 1 22 5 76 8 3 Edit: It does work, I made a mistake, the last square should be: 7 1 22 5 86 9 3
  22. You've probably all seen that Xisto and many other sites have a small icon that gets displayed in the address bar, or in your favourites/bookmarks. Well, here's how to get an icon on your own site: 1. Choose either 1A or 1B 1A: You can either make an icon yourself with your favourite icon making program 1B: Make a square picture, any size you want and save it. When you're done making the picture, go to this site, upload the image and download the zip. Then unpack the zip to get the icon. 2. Great! Now you have an icon. If it's not called favicon.ico, then you should rename it (to favicon.ico). Upload the icon to your public_html directory using the FileManager in your CPanel or your FTP client. 3. Now, in all pages that should you want to have the icon you need to have the following somewhere between <head> and </head>: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> That's it! To test it in some browsers you have to add the site to your favourites, but in Mozilla/Firefox all you have to do is go to the site. If everything went well you should see your icon in the address bar. If you don't see the icon check that the icon got uploaded okay and that the "<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >" line is in the HTML (and that if it is somewhere between the head tags that it's not inside a script or style tag). And if it still doesn't work, ask here!
  23. Actually, Mozilla 1.7.5 has been released after Firefox 1.0. So Firefox isn't really "newer". And if you want the newest versions you can get nightly builds from Mozilla's ftp site (both Firefox and Mozilla suite).I prefer Firefox to Mozilla because I use Firefox as a browser, and the Mozilla Suite mainly adds non-brower stuff, which I have other apps for (like email and so on).
  24. Basically what the topic title says. When you design a website, how old browsers do you go out of your way to support? How small screens? Right now I only have IE6 available and I'm hoping things are working in IE5.5, but frankly I don't care about anything older than that, in fact, I'm starting to not care very much about IE5.5 anymore. I really don't care about NN4 and older. I guess it comes down to IE6, and recent versions of Mozilla and Opera for me. I might add extra things for Mozilla and Opera, who understand more CSS than IE does, but my site should always look okay in IE. When it comes to screensizes, 800x600 is my base. I want my site to look good at 800x600 and 1024x768, and at least okay at larger; but I don't really care about anything smaller than 800x600. When it comes to client-side scripting, I try to avoid it as much as possible. I don't want anything not working because someone decided to disable that part/all of javascript on their computer. Hmm, what else... Oh, a visitor should be able to view any flash you have with Flash5 or higher. And finally when I make sites in XHTML 1.0 I make sure that browsers who (say that they) understand it get it served as application/xhtml+xml instead of text/html. I think I'll write something that converts XHTML to HTML 4.01 with some nice regexes sometime so I can send XHTML to advanced browsers and HTML to IE. So. How old browsers/small screens/etc. do you design for?
  25. It may have gotten further in some places, but it has horrible bugs in others. As far as I have been able to find out at least. Quirksmode.org lists quite a lot of DOM bugs for Explorer for Mac where Explorer for Windows doesn't have errors. It also has a host of CSS problems, as you can see with a quick google.
