If you look carefully at the syntax, you'll notice that the value that was to be inserted in place of group_id is missing... see after VALUES (13, * , 1 .....). MySQL syntax doesn't permit you to pass blank values (see *). Either the group_id has to be omitted and the syntax changed to phpbb_auth_access ( forum_id, auth_view,....) or else you have to pass some value ( at least a zero ) inside the VALUES () statement for group_id.. Your problem lies right there.. maybe you need to create a separate group number for your restricted forum users and somehow use that value over here..

Next time this happens - if ur computer seens absolutely frozen and even the mouse cursor isnt responding, try pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and wait for a while patiently. The task manager will come up - check for a process called svchost.exe - see if it's taking up almost 99% of your cpu cycles... If so, then you have to get a couple of hotfixes for svchost from microsoft. I had this problem for a long time on Win2K - don't know if it affects XP too but from your description thats what it sounds like. Even my system would come down to a grinding halt during downloads. It's not a virus - rather a bug in svchost. Btw, both Win2K and XP are supposed to have AT THE MOST 4 forked svchost.exe running. If you see more than 4 instances of svchost in the taskmanager then know for sure you are infected with something... To see what all processes svchost is helping to run, fire up a command prompt and type "tasklist /svc" - that will tell you what each instance of svchost is catering to...

Thanks for the info.. all the unnecessary services are already disabled - i use Sissoft Sandra which runs a scan and lists all the ones which you don't need on ur system. Did that long back - and the crash rate subsided a little bit - but some of these days, I really don't know what takes over svchost - those are the days it decides to crash every 10 seconds or so.. j/k... but it crashes at least 6-7 times during those days, and then again next day onwards it would behave really for a period of 4-5 days and then, start repeating all over again.. Grrrrrr!!!!!!! So you can see why I don't really feel like playing the good host to svchost ?? Yikes... that was damned corny

Thanks wedjarl, you've provided a brilliant example for my post - the freeware Local Website Archiver... @ http://forums.xisto.com/topic/81805-topic/?findpost=1064287868That's exactly what I've been trying to put through. Even I've got thousands of these downloaded tutorials - but they used to be a mess of files and folders, till I found that brilliant tool to neatly organize all my tutorials into one big archive file. All you need to do is keep a backup of this archive and you have all your tutorials saved forever for future reference... Give it a try..

I found a reference, rather an article on this theme at: http://www.techspot.com/news/13881-story.html But it says that the theme and screenshots have been removed at request of microsoft. they are at it AGAIN...bossing around everywhere.

I wish .. oh I so wish.. I'll be summersaulting with joy once again if that happens ....

lol... good ones tattopunk. But do you guys know that theoretically it might be possible to go back in time - but you can NEVER come back to future, i.e. the present - from there...Imagine a very steep and almst infinitely high hill.. you are standing at the bottom and some unseen force is pushing you upward along the sides.. it will take a massive amount of energy and you have to achieve almost the speed of light to get the top.. But once you reach the top - you can just roll down the other side on your own - once you start that, you just keep rolling down gathering momentum as you go. In this situation you can just roll further down and down into the past, but can never stop to turn around and climb back up to come back to the present....That's how the whole time travel thing is supposed to work.

Lol.. yeah..it's down. Probably an asteroid landed on the microsoft servers... In future you can use this link to check whether their service is up or not: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

First: The people who wrote linux never intended it to look like windows. People who use linux for what it is are happy enough with a dark command line console - coz thats where you get most of your work done. The GUI was created with somewhat close to a windows look coz it'll give prospective users a far shorter learning curve - being already familiar with the windows interface... Did you ever hear of the fact that the whole idea of windows came from trying to copy the Mac interface for PC Users ??? Who's copying whom ?? If you are so in love with the GUI - beat that of Mac !!! Second: Over 90% of the mission critical systems around the world are running on some flavor of *NIX. Now, THAT ITSELF says a FAT lot I don't need to elaborate any further, I believe. Whatever Microsoft comes up with - they cannot ever think of matching this kind of a feat - unless they tear the whole OS apart and re-program it from ground up. Admit it, Windows was never meant to handle a networked environment with thousands of users under extremely well designed security system. It built upon by applying subsequent patches on the old MS-DOS system - till they thought of adding a little more stability around the NT period. Hell, Windows still doesn't have a DECENT enough File System - not to mention the plethora of viruses that it's plagued with !!!! How come we don't face such problems under Linux ??? Buggy Coding I tell you, giving rise to an unstable platform for viruses to run on

Uurrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!! God whats this world coming to ?? Lol... dude, linux is NOT a KERNEL !! The core files of ANY Operating System constitute IT'S OWN KERNEL... draw an analogy to the biological term kernel which refers to the Similarly a Kernel when referring to Operating systems is: There you go... If you claim, Windows doesn't have a kernel then all you are left with is the GUI part, which like X-Windows, is completely incapable of doing anything on its own. Imagine, old Win 98 without the underlying MS-DOS files (IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS) - would the GUI itself run at all without help from these so called "Kernel" Files ??? Your system wouldn't even startup dude !! Even the command prompt would refuse to load - the GUI is a distant thought

What happens in event of a system crash ? Unless you backup all your offline content into some other folder - all's gone !!! Besides the offline content is stored in the exact same inconvenient way as I was describing aboe - as individual files and folders - which become increasingly difficult to manage as you store more and more.. don't you think having it all inside one zipped archive - that browsable and searchable as if you were on the net - doesn't that sound better and easier to backup ??What do you think ? P.S. If you guys still don't get my point, try this article : http://forums.xisto.com/topic/81688-topic/?findpost=& wedjarl there has provided a great example of what I've been trying to put through.. scroll towards the bottom to the last 2-3 posts and you'll see

Yups absolutely.. Degragmentation is the act of putting all those scattered file parts into ONE BIG CONTIGUOUS block so that your HDD Head can read the whole file in ONE Sweep rather than jump around all over the hdd to find the fragments - which of course would cost it a hell lot in terms of read time. If you want to find out the exact definition I suggest you to visit https://www.wikipedia.org/ and search for this particular term.

Thanks.. yah, I have spamassassin installed on my local server - have tested it too. What I am trying to figure is to how to root out spam programmatically or in other words am trying to come up with a spam filter on my own... Lets see

Right. Thanks.. once I can boast some decent knowledge of php I can try come up with some and post the tested version here.. Lets see. I'm still quite new to php even though I'd moderately good at coding.

All right Now I know... thanks. That tells me I got to still mess around with the MTA's and Mailer Clients on Linux and come up with something out of that...

Do you guys know that IBM has successfully managed to put Linux on a Wrist Watch to prove the fact that Linux can be scaled down to such a huge extent. Their first working prototype has even been ready and put up for display for a long time. Read more about it @: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It's been around for quite sometime... so I may be just blabbering on really OLD NEWS, coz I came to know about it just a couple of months back... but it's great to know that something like this could be done.

I think I was indeed wrong there - though what I intended to say was somewhat on the lines of what you posted next.Thanks

Hey good tip. I've tried this before and it indeed gives you quite a good boost (even though if you try the same with '98 it actually slows the system down).

No no... I can access my pop mail all fine. It doesn't have to do with how to fetch my pop mail from the Xisto accounts - that works fine for me. What strikes me funny is that all the email accounts I create have the login name in the following format: "username+microsys-asia.info". It's not a problem, but just wanted to know why it happens like that. Thanks

Naah it wont really work for dynamic pages like that - it more oriented for nicely organizing offline content which are more on the lines of research material, tutorials etc, although I was reading somewhere that they're going to come up with another version of it which will autoupdate using RSS feed. Don't know about auction sites though - the present version can only take snapshots of the page that's currently loaded into your browser.

One fact that most of you missed out on is: Have you ever thought that even if we could manage to accelerate some particle or a certain mass at the speed of light - the object itself would become PURE UNHARNESSED ENERGY that cannot be bound back together to give it back its original shape later on !! Besides, even the same happens to you if you manage to somehow drop into a black hole. The gravitational pull inside the black hole is so immense, that the more you travel towards its center, the more your body gets compressed and eventually it implodes into a single point (the supposedly basic structure of a black hole - a singularity) and would let out an immense amount of energy in the process and NOT be your own body any longer... So, I ask you, why would you ever, in the right frame of mind, would care to venture into a black hole - even if you wanted to play cool and demonstrate some of that time dilation to your friend standing at the viewport of some far away space shuttle ??? Unless, of course you want to get into all that hoo haa about blackholes being the gateways to another dimension, or that two black holes physically situated bizzillions of intergalactic miles apart could serve as a connecting highway to the other end of the universe ....

On the other hand if you consider the photons as particles according to wave-particle duality, wouldn't the photons give up their quanta of energy to the electron causing it to:a. Gain a massive velocity since it's mass it so minisculeb. Take up a completely different trajectory,since the photons probably would rebound from the impact letting the electron escape besides not being able to strike at the exact same instant as "lasto i glemyr" said...

Are there any researches going on (with moderate degree of success) in obtaining evergy by splitting up water ? That, I believe will be one of the richest and most plentiful source of energy if it ever comes to be. Think of it - we'll never be short of this kind of fuel. One of my associates who's been into years of research into producing Pure water with very high free electron content (which acts as an anti-oxidant and if the perfect balance can be achieved - actually would act as anti-ageing water) was briefing me about the process. I remember him mentioning, how quickly the room temperature around him would shoot up (in a matter of seconds) from around 0 degrees to over 30 degrees when he used his electron gun to shoot varying amounts of electron into purified water.. That sounded pretty interesting and promising.What do you say ?

Yaah absolutely.. I wouldn't even think of arguing with that. Hats off to Open & FreeBSD.

HI admins, Because of the new posting rules that apply to the HowTos & Tutorials Forum, the articles don't become visible before they are accepted. But the post shows up on the 20 New Posts list at the bottom of the page. If you click on the link there before the acceptance happens, what you get is: May be you should put up an alternate page for it which says that the tutorial has been submitted and awaiting acceptance. New members might find it quite confusing and perform multiple posts - as it happened with me the first time. As a result there's actually 2 copies of my same post in there.. lol..
