I don't see what the big news is, you could get tabs with IE for years and years. Maxthon, and MyIE2 (on which Maxthon is based) have both had tabs. Maxthon also has pop-up and ad blocking, session saving etc. etc. etc. There's nothing new happening. ABout IE vs Firefox: 1. I don't really know how speed compares, but the difference between the two is negligible in most situations. 2. Uhm... No. You can make wrappers for IE, but it's nothing like writing extensions for Firefox. 3. You mean with all the ActiveX and such? And the slow patching? 4. Instead of looking at just pop-up blocking, look at ad-blocking. Install the adblock extension in Firefox, and see how badly IE compares to that. 5. So, you're saying there's no difference in performance, and that because of that IE wins?

Sorry for the double post, I clicked the wrong button.I wanted to add that if you feel that it's to complex, perhaps you should try some general reference text on sockets first? Perhaps searching for "socket reference", "what are sockets" and similar things might give you some good pages (sorry, I learned what I know about sockets from books).

If you do a Google for php sockets tutorial and take the first result, what's wrong with that one?

I don't see the problem. Either you pay $10 and get a new version a little bit earlier than everyone else, or you don't pay and get it at the same time as everyone else. Imagine you could get <latest cool game for PC/some console> a month before everyone else for $10 extra, I'm sure a lot of people would do it, then again other people wouldn't. The point is that PHP Nuke is still kind of free. Anyway, if you're dissatisfied with the direction PHP Nuke is going, why don't you get the latest PHP Nuke release and start building a new product based on it, and release it for free? It's all GPLed, so you can start making your own thing based on PHP Nuke as long as you release it under GPL as well.

I don't really see anything good about this. It's not like porn sites are going to abandon .com domains and move to .xxx. Although I guess it's nice to know what to expect. It's a bit like knowing that an email from a .biz domain is probably spam or scam.

Mod Of Choice For Phpbb which one?
bjrn replied to badinfluence's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Quick reply. Definitely. It's so nice to have a small box you can type text in immediately and then hit "Submit". -
I have some connection issues. It could be my ISP blocking *.trap17.com sites (not the main Xisto site though), a DNS error, or Xisto is blocking my range for all member sites. If Xisto is blocking, is there any way for me to find out?

You know, having all td's with the same ID light up when any td is hovered would be easy, that would be .table:hover #id {styles}But having it happen only when the td's of a certain ID are hovered over is more difficult... I guess what I would try to do is make a JavaScript hack. Basically you would have to make an onHover event, which changes the class of all td's with the same ID as the one you are hovering over. And then have whatever style you want for that new class you are making. I'm not sure if this would work, but for each td you make <td id="something" onmouseover="hoveron()" onmouseout="hoveroff()">and then JavaScript: function hoveron() { document.getElementById("something").className=" hover"; }function hoveroff() { document.getElementById("something").className=this.className=""; } And then in your stylesheet you add: .hover {styles here} Note that you have to write .hover, not :hover. Okay, I made a testpage: <html><head><title>test</title><style>table {background-color:red;}td.hover {background-color:green;}</style><script>function hoveron() { document.getElementById("a").className=" hover"; }function hoveroff() { document.getElementById("a").className=this.className=""; }</script></head><body><table><tr><td>text</td><td id="a" class=" " onmouseover="hoveron()" onmouseout="hoveroff()">text</td></tr><tr><td>text</td><td>text</td><td id="a" class=" " onmouseover="hoveron()" onmouseout="hoveroff()">text</td></tr></table></body></html>it doesn't really work, I guess I would have to loop through all elements with the "a" ID. But i hope I kind of got across what you would have to do. There migth be some pure CSS solution, but i don't know about it.

There are a lot more google things, I think they are all (or at least most of them) listed here, and of course the most cutting-edge google stuff is in the Google Labs. I quite like the Google Code project, although I still think they definitely need to increse the number of searches you can do per day using the Google search API. As for fun stuff, I really like the Google PigeonRank page: https://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html And for google-related links: Toogle image search, makes a google image search and turns the first returned image to (coloured) text.

Hey, this is really nice. Good job.I don't think you have to worry about it not being for beginners. I mean, there are enough tutorials being posted for beginners here on Xisto (which is a good thing), but it's nice when someone posts something more advanced as well.I've played around with PHP some, but I'm hardly a guru, and I hadn't done anything with the get_loaded_extensions() function. And learning new things is always fun.So thanks.

If it's free, why would you need a serial? I like Filezilla, it's free (as in really free, not "i hax0red it free") and works really nice. The "bookmarks" or whatever they are called & associated features work really well.

Like X said, first make sure they don't mind you taking their content. If they are ok with it, you probably won't get DB access, I'd be very surprise if you got it. What you probably have to do is grab the results webpage with the parameters you fill in. Say you wanted to get the results for a Google seach (say this happens before the Google API was released), you'd grab the webpage https://www.google.com/search?q=something and pull out the data you want. You could probably do something similar with the FMLS website. If you want some info on how to get data from another webpage with PHP, you could try Google (if you don't have PHP, but something else instead I'm sure there are solutions for that as well, just google around). Ah. I just checked the FMLS website. It looks like they had this seriously lame "protection" against automated grabbing, so I would prepare myself for the worst (ie. no permission).

Lucky to get a sneak preview? You do realise that anyone can download the newest (nightly) build whenever they want, right?
-
I don't know what you were planning for the demo, but unless you need the prospective users to share content you don't really need a filter, do you? As long as whatever is filled in is only seen by the visitor (and possibly you) then they can type whatever they want.But otherwise staring off with a reasonable array, and then monitoring input is probably the best option.

Webalizer And Stats Config Problem Cannot generate stats?
bjrn replied to eXtreme's topic in Web Hosting Support
I can confirm that. It needs a whole calendar month (or at least a finished calendar month(?)) before it can do anything. I remember it took a little while before I got anything out of it.Just be patient and everything will be alright -
"viper" Guestbook - Anybody Installed It ? Need you comments
bjrn replied to RGPHNX's topic in Web Hosting Support
I tried it, and I guess it's alright, it all depends on what you want and need.I wanted a guestbook I where I could just integrate it into the rest of my site, but Viper (at least in its standard form), wants its own separate pages. I thought about trying to make the guestbook look like the rest of my site, as a compromise, but that meant I would have to make a skin for it. And it had a number of things I didn't want or need, and that would require coding to change. So I ended up hacking together a simple guestbook in PHP instead. :lol:If you want advice: List all things you want your guestbook to do and then check if Viper can do them. And I think you should just install Viper and test it. Just install it into some dump directory, play around, delete it, and if you decide you want to use Viper install in wherever you want it for "real" use. -
Now I've actually looked into it, the only servers it will be bad for are probably those (including proxies) that don't support it. And apparently sites with lots of media may get some side-effects.Servers supporting pipelining might even be better off with pipelining on, since you send multiple requests at once instead of sending one, waiting for a reply and then sending the next one.

Well, why don't you tell her how you fell, that you don't think she's more than just a thing you own. That she isn't entitled to free will, and that she has to do whatever you say. That to you she is no more than a slave. I'm sure you both will be much happier, or at least she will.

It could be FirefoxIE, which is basically a combo of skin & extensions for Firefox to make it look more like IE. It's very handy if you want to bring IE users over to Firefox, but they aren't totally convinced yet; lets you bring them over to Firefox gently

I think it's hugely dependant on what kind of classes you are following. Here in the Netherlands I think psychology students dedicate on average 20 hours/week to studying. You could think that psychology students are just way smarter than most students, but I'm leaning towards thinking that they just have pretty easy classes, or at least classes that are easy to "just pass" if that's what you want. On the other hand I know a guy who is studying theoretical physics, and I can tell you spends more than 40 hours/week studying, and that's not because he's a slow learner. But no9t9 is probably right about a majority, as long as you spend a reasonable amount of time learning things before the exams you should really have no trouble.

What irks me about many evolution vs creationism debates is that people on the creationism side somehow see creationism as a valid theory that can be imposed on others. While I don't mind people disagreeing with the theory of evolution if they think that there are major flaws in it, I do not approve of passing off creationism as a scientific theory.The theory of evolution is a scientific theory, it's based on research and most importantly, it's falsifyable; if it's not correct you can disprove it. The belief in creationism isn't a scientific theory, it's based on dogma, and it's not falsifyable; whatever counter-proof you would come up with, a creationist could always twist the belief into something fitting with the facts.

Did We Land On The Moon? Did we land on the moon?
bjrn replied to adriantc's topic in Science and Technology
I can't believe no one has posted this quote yet (it's from a comment to a story on Slashdot). I don't have much to add to the discussion here in itself, but I just thought that this quote had to be posted, it's just priceless -
Gnah, the Wikipedia link should be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL

The W3C has a pretty good page about URL's and URI's. Basically an URL (uniform resource locator), it an URI (uniform resource identifier) with a specific encoding and access protocol. So URLs are a type of URIs. And URIs are very much like the adress for a house (to use ashiezai's example), and URLs are more like the adress + how to get there.

Definitely. And I hope that IE will start supporting XHTML and/or more advanced browsers get a higher market-share. XHTML seems to have some neat potential things, dito for CSS3.
