If you want to be a gamer, use a PC. Graphical artists seem to prefer the mac. The downside of a mac that it isn't really as upgradable as a PC. If you havea PC and want to be able to work with heavvier graphics, you can easily upgrade it, you can't do that with a mac, unless you want to break it open and void all warranties. Which means that if you have a mac and want to upgrade, you're pretty much forced to buy a new one.

You want a FPS that's faster than Doom 3? Try Doom 2. Okay, sorry, that was a bad joke. I think we'll see things where you can generate (at least a large part) of an application from architectual diagrams. And I must say that I wonder how many programming jobs there will be around in ten or twenty years. Well, besides legacy code mentainance jobs, making sure old programs continue working & doing small modifications.

So where can we download the songs? The audio and download links on your page don't go anywhere.

It doesn't work at all for me, just blank pages. You should check the CHMOD settings for the directory. And if I were you I'd turn off the directory listing for http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

If you have an "offline" business, want to go online, but have no experience of your own, I just have to say: Let someone else do it for you. Nothing is as off-putting as an unprofessional looking site for a business. I am guessing it's even worse for a business selling pricy items. When I say "let someone else do it", I mean the setting up and technical maintainance of your website, probably also the design as well. What you really want is a well built site with a CMS so you can edit texts and lists of things you sell without having to know all techy stuff. Just my 2 pence.

Perhaps you are setting an absolute path with http:// and all, and you should have a relative path? like xore/cron/rewards.php ?I'm just taking a wild stab in the dark here. I don't have any cron jobs of my own running.

Do you want to resize the user's window (like a pop-up), or do you just want to set the height and width as in the amount of space in the window your page takes (like a page where the content is 700px (or something) wide, no matter how large the user's screen is)?

As far as I know Googlebot is the only bot that recognises "*.gif" and such. Other bots don't understand the asterix.

A total mod for Enemy Territory was released a few days ago called ETF. It's a port of the Q3F mod. It changes everything so it's more of a sci-fi setting and mostly CTF games (the "original" ET will still run after installing it). The mod also has ten classes and quite a lot of new weapons. Worth checking out if you have ET.

There is no limit for how much you post per day, as long as you're not mindlessly spamming. Spamming is bad. The body of your post needs to be at least 300 characters to be counted, the signature isn't counted as far as I know. It's not impossible to post shorter posts, it's just that they won't be counted. Just don't spam. Spamming is bad.

Ik ben gedeeltelijk (half) nederlands, is dat ook goed?

If you need a shell account you could try one from this list, some of them allow IRC. But even if it says it's okay on the list I'd check with the hosters first.

Unfortunately Dan Brown is estmating his super researching powers a bit too high. In fact, most of his "facts" are poorly researched snips, often taken from questionable sources, which he wildly interprets to fit his story. I haven't heard anyone who actually researches history, architecture, theology or anything relating to the things Brown says, not shredding Brown's research to pieces. A quick google gives you ample critique of the Da Vinci Code. Unfortunately most of it is on christian webpages, not academic, you should be able to find something fairly decent without too much trouble though.

If number is a string field you have a problem. The other thing could be that you should have "ORDER BY number" instead of "ORDER BY 'number'" (without the single quotes). Although that should give an SQL error if it was wrong... Strange...

Solution: Don't use frames! If you want to use frames perhaps you could do this: When the user clicks on the button you open a page in frame B, so you let the form go to B instead of A. And you let that page (that the form calls, in frame do the DB calls. And then you redirect to the page you want to reload.

I tired Thunderbird, but I was dissapointed. To be honest I can't believe they named it 1.0. It doesn't really feel finished. Try saving emails as text, or anything at all. It works, kind of. Except that you can't specify how it should be formatted, and what info should be saved. Oh, and sometimes it eats your mail, really, no kidding.I'm still looking around for anything good. I'll have a look at the other clients suggested in this thread.

You know, a year or so ago we had Prolog at uni, and we were shown that you could write one part of something you wanted in Prolog and then call it from Java. I'll be darned if I remember how, but it was quite nifty. I should look it up and see if I can find it somewhere. Having said that I didn't really like Prolog very much. As for the future of programming languages I think we can expect a higher degree of abstraction, it's a process that started quite some time ago and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. You can see that as time goes by we get higher and higher levels. From machine instructions in the beginning to the hoard of easily readable languages we have today.

But that's not the fault of technology. That's people being greedy and wanting more and more and more. No matter how slow of fast technology advances you will always have people who want the newest, even if it's just the same thing in a different colour. Nobody's forcing you to contantly buy new computers...

If I were you I'd get rid of the frames entirely. I don't really see why you would want to use them. However, if you do want to keep the frames for some reason you should do as has been suggested and have the left and center frames in one frame, because you will still need some way of scrolling.Setting scrolling="no" would solve your problem, but immediately create a new one: visitors only seeing a small piece of the left frame.But as I said, I think the best solution would be to get rid of frames all together.

Laziness is good. If you're lazy you'll always keep handy things around I thought I could post a link to a quite nice robots.txt generator. It's quite simple; you enter whether bots are allowed or not, and then you can enter allowed/refused for a number of common bots if you want them to be different from the default. And then you can enter specific restricted directories. Nothing complex, but nice. And there are examples and links to pre-made robots.txt files.

Let's summaraize!You can create a file called .htaccess with Windows, as long as you have some program (like notepad or similar) do it.If you try to do it "by hand" by right-clicking somewhere and choosing New->Textfile and calling it .htaccess you'll get an error mesage.Preferred solution: Do what no9t9 said, save a file using notepad (or similar).Alternative solution: Do New->Textfile. Call it <something>.htaccess, upload it, rename it on the server.In either case: Problem solved.

Tools -> Folder options (?) something like that -> File types (again, not sure about the name).You should have a big list of all file extensions your windows recognise. Scroll until you find HTML, click on edit. And there you should be able to change the icon to anything you want. I'm not sure where the standard HTML icon lives, but your best bet is probably IE.exeI hope this helps

Woo! Thanks! I'm glad I could help

It's like the WTC attacks isn't it? People have a camera handy, they know they can't do anything about it, so they film it. I agree with you about calling it art though, that's just wrong.

Here's what you could do:In your .htaccess file (which should be in your public_html dir) you can put lines likeErrorDocument 404 /pagenotfound.phpErrorDocument 500 /errors/error500.phpor whatever you want.That would mean that your error pages would be php pages. If I were you I wouldn't make the 500 ones php enabled though. If something goes wrong on the server side, it may very well be php related, and serving your visitors with a blank page, or an error on an error page is hardly elagant :rolleyes:I think you could edit your .htaccess file to parse shtml files as php as well.HTH
