Perhaps it doesn't work because you are using a cracked instead of a legal version? Just a wild guess.

The problem isn't with Google Search, it doesn't do any special hacking of your computer to get private data. There is no security problem with the search application. The security flaw is in the windows OS itself. The private data isn't protected at all and any application could get it.

No, far from every program. Right now they provide searching in programmes from ABC, PBS, Fox News and C-SPAN. And you won't get any real video content (that I could see), just screen caps and transcripts.

Those are for people who use Microsoft Frontpage extensions (or whatever they are called). If you don't use Frontpage you can safely delete them.

I must say that I really like the top banner, it looks really nice. And I think the layout over-all is good. But if you want things to change I'd change the Valid HTML & CSS buttons into text links, so they fit in with the rest of the footer. And while I'm on the subject, the index page isn't valid HTML 4.01, it misses the doctype declaration. :PAnd I must say that I think the content background is a bit over the top. But if you want to keep it, I'd de-clutter it and just have it as running text over and over and over instead. Anyway, both are minor points. The site looks good.

Yeah. A lot of people here use Firefox. And when it comes to browsershells (or whatever you call them) for IE, I think Maxthon works much nicer. I never quite got into Avant. Both Maxthon and Avant are basically the same as IE, but with a tweaked interface and some extra functions. They both have the same rendering and security problems IE proper has.

Thanks, but I was (as you perhaps suspected) asking ket, because his post didn't really make any sense to me.

Why don't you post a list of what you've made. It's a bit hard to ask for a specific one if we don't know what you've made. If you've made a ton of image uploaders and manipulators it won't do us much good to ask about database-related scripts.So post a list, and if the list is really long just posts the best ones you have. Or post generally what you have (not the whole code, just names & descriptions).

First of all, I have no idea what your point was, or if you had any. Perhaps your post was just mindless spam.Anyway I just wanted to point out that the .NET is actually very different from Java:Java is one language that runs on many platforms..NET is many languages that run on one platform.

You could try inserting more colours. You don't have to stick to just white, black and that one green colour you have. A quick google gave me this, look at the biohazard thing in the middle, he's using a gradient from dark green to light yellowish green. So don't be afraid to throw in some more different colours. Putting some colour into the menu bar might be nice. Something with stripes or gradient colours perhaps? And while I'm on the menu bar, I'd move it a bit from the top and left edge of the page, give it some more room. And on your site it says it's optimized for 1024x768, but I think about 30% of normal internetters still use 800x600 (I'm not exaggerating), so you might want to consider some design that works on smaller screens as well, 30% is more than enough to put some extra effort in. Other things you might try: changing the borders around the content from those solid grey things to the dotted things like you have around the google search things on your site. And a technical note: I'd stop using tables for layout purposes and use CSS instead (although it can be tricky sometimes for vertical layout). And make the page so it validates, which will mean that your page should look okay in any browser, not just the one you picked to test it in. When I checked just now, your page had 96 errors. Good luck with the re-design!

They probably mean force majeur events like googlue suggested. Earthquakes, other natural disasters, war and so on. On a slightly related note I once saw a scan of an iPaq manual which said that users should not sleep on it or bang it against hard objects. Link: iPaq manual

Like in blogs you don't save each blog entry in one big ugly file. You save each entry either in separate files, or in separate records in a database. If you want to do this for a blog, don't save everything to one file, seriously. If you have Xisto hosting there are lots of click and go blog systems you can install. But if you want to build something from scratch I'd store blog entries in a database and then for your front page do something like (this works with MySQL) "SELECT * FROM entries ORDER BY date DESC limit 0, 5". I think ordering descending will give you the newest first, but I'm not sure, if not, just replace DESC with ASC.

I'd be a little late by then, no? The other day I read about a guy who's ex-gf had got rid of all his cash and equipment on some online game he was on all the time. If something like that happens it's a bit late to say "well, now I can decide what to do". And calling a plain text file you have anything containing the word "private" is just like marking a doomsday button with "do not press", you won't be able to count to ten before someone's pressed it. And then you come to the conclusion that if you want to protect your passwords you can put a password on your passwordfile. Which is exactly like using a program like Password Safe or Passpack, except with a text file your file will be password protected, but not encrypted. And you won't have a password generator handy, or sorting options. Basically, what I am saying is that I don't understand why you would use a textfile for storing passwords...

So where would that go? Could you show us how the whole popup page should look?

Well, it looks like eXeem really is spy/adware, I haven't tried it myself but I've read of enough people complaining about cydoor being included. And I guess someone was dissapointed enough to make eXeem lite, which is eXeem, but without the spyware. If you want to use eXeem, use the lite version. It's like with Kazaa: Normal version: Bad, lite version: Good.

If you're already stuck with displaying fonts, I'm afraid you have a long road ahead of you. Both Opera and Mozilla have had people working full- and part-time to develop them for years, and both browsers still aren't fully done. The best of luck, just know what you're getting yourself into.

Well, that's a bit what you have a program for. Writing down on paper or in a plain text file are obviously both very insecure. But if you use a program (like Password Safe) you will have a password protected and encrypted file. So unless you use a very simple password or passphrase for the program no one but you will get access to your passwords.

Well, it's easy to get more than 10-15. Xisto alone is two (cpanel & Xisto forums). And then I have my mail, and then other forums I use (forums often need registration to even read), several dev sites, like java.sun.com and so on and so on. I forgot to mention that Password Safe also uses encryption to protect the passwords. It uses Blowfish, which is a free (and faster) alternative to DES.

If you could post the problem here that would be great. Like: What you want, what isn't working, relevant code (if any).

Well, I think it's mainly since I've been using the internet that I've gotten more and more passwords. In the beginning it was easy, and I could remember them all. But I was online more and I got more and more accounts and forgetting passwords or using the right password, but in the wrong place. So I started writing them down on a piece of paper. But then I realised that a paper wasn't very handy. So then I started using software to keep track of my passwords. I mainly started using software because I came across the website of the guy who made a free app to do it. This was several years ago, the guy who made is was Bruce Schneier (a well known computer security and cryptology guy) and the app was Password Safe. Since then Bruce has stopped developing Password Safe and instead made it open source and given it to a development team who continue to work on it. I still use Password Safe, but I would like to know how you keep track of your passwords. Do you keep it all in your head? Do you write it down on paper? Do you use software? Do you tell your mom and call her whenever you forget a password? Tell us your solution! If you want to try out Password Safe you can get it from their project page.

Protection doesn't always work though, there is no contaceptive that works 100% of the cases. The pregnancy rate of couples who restrict themselves to anal sex is higher than you might think (it's several procent). I must say that I have no problem with bashing christianity, at least not the catholic church. The incredible evil the top of the catholic church is willing to wreak on the poor parts of the world are just beyond belief. Telling people that they can't have an abortion, but can't use contraceptives either. Or how about telling the people that condoms let through diseases, or even that they are the cause of diseases. It makes me so angry that the vatican can just sit there and do this. Okay, that was slightly off-topic, but it also angers me how religious groups (not just christian) try to force their beliefs on others through political means. The arrogance of a group who try to force their ethical system on others when they have nothing to support their system but a belief. Surely an ethical system which is to be enforced on a whole population must be based on a reasoning, not just "because we say so"? Legislation relating to abortion should under no circumstance be based on faith of any kind.

Yep. I think it has several advantages. First of all, working in phases means you won't be overwhelmed with work. You get a nice chunk of work to do, and when it's finished you can put it online. You get clear goals, and it always feels good to get a piece done. Secondly people who visit your site will always see something that's looking nice and finished, instead of lots of things that are nearly finished.

Okay, if I've understood it right it shouldn't be such a problem. As I understand it you know how to open a nice resized popup using a javascript link, but MSN groups is disabling all javascript (or at least the bit needed for the popup) on it's site. Assuming the popup is not on MSN groups this should work. First you have the link to the musicplayer, something like: <a href="musicplayer.html" target="_blank" title="The best music player ever">Click here to open a new window with my fantastic music player.</a> (edit names & such where needed). And then in the musicplayer page you put <body onload="resizeTo(200,200);"> instead of just <body>. That should resize the new window. This will still leave the address bar, status bar, scroll bar and so on in the window. You should be able to disable those things too, but I don't quite know how. If you want to do more than resize the window (like disable those bars), i'd make a function out of it so you get something like: <html><head><title>Music player</title><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">function loadWindow() { resizeTo(200,200); //code for disabling the bars goes here}</script></head><body onload="loadWindow();">Here goes the music player stuff</body></html>It's the onload and the function it calls that are important, the I've just added so we get a whole page. And you can of course change the resizeTo values from 200, 200 to whatever you want. I think the first one is width and the other one is height, both in pixels. I hope this helps!

Although I like the look of the iPod shuffle (I like the design of all Apple things, they're so purdy), I don't quite like that you're forced to have it shuffle, sometimes I really do want to hear tracks in a particular order. But I do also think that the shuffle will sell well. It's not hugely expensive, and it looks neat.Same for the mac mini. Looks nice, not very epensive. That is until you realise you can't use a PS/2 mouse or keyboard with it. Or that you can't plug in your monitor through the DVI/VGA port (perhaps a cable adapter is all that is needed, still, it's going to cost you). Or that you want some word processing software. Or you realise that you don't live in the US and everything magically get's a lot more expensive*I'm not going to switch anytime soon. I might buy a mac sometime in the future for software- and web development reasons, but not to switch from the PC.* Really, it does if you go through the Apple store.Apple iPod 40GB - In the US it's $399. In Europe it's ?439. ?439 is $570.Mac Mini - In the Us it's $499. In Europe it's ?499. ?499 is $648.

About taking pictures: Make sure you have something nice to put the jewellery on. Since you already have a "real" shop that shouldn't be any problem. But trust me when I say that a piece of jewellery layed out on a nice piece of velvet or something like that is going to sell much better than a piece of jewellery on a white background. Just as in your real shop, presentation is important. This is why I thought you should get someone else to fix the site for you, because in your first post you said you knew "basic HTML", from which I assumed the worst. But seeing that you've already done a site before this you might very well be up to the job. So since you are going to do this yourself I think I'll throw in this advice. All of this is my personal opinion, take it or leave it: Get the "viewing" part of the website done first, let people visit the site and see all the nice things you are selling. When that's done, put it online. And then you can start making the online sales integration. And when that's finished you put that part online. And don't put "Under construction" anywhere on the site. And don't put "soon feature this and that will be online". Either it's done or it isn't, and notices like "under construction" are okay if you have some maintainance that it going to put something offline for a day. But unless you can say "X will be done on the first of may" (just an example) don't put up a note about it. Having said all that I wish you the best of luck. And don't hesitate to ask if you're stuck (as long as it's not completely stupid questions like "What does <br> do?").
