I'm not saying that college isn't fun, but if you stay in high school, you get the experiences of both.

I saw a way once that was pretty cool. You have to have basic javascript enabled, but it keeps bots from being able to find it since you have to pass your mouse over it: <a href="javascript_required" onmouseover="this.href='mailto:user'+'name'+'@'+'doma'+'in.com'">email us</a> It's from http://www.llamaguy.com/.

We also use ten for bowling, and 5050 is the sum of the integers from 1 to 100.

I just laugh it off, it's a lot more fun to be able to laugh at anything. I also don't let things offend me. I used to, but I ended up getting mad a lot. Now I don't and everything's funny. As they say, laughter is the best medicine. Could explain why I've gotten sick only once since I started not getting offended (a year and a half or so).

Too bad EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. No list of signs will be applicable to everyone. They're probably not applicable to most people. A lot of things there are just from politeness (eye contact) or nervousness (hair flip), which could just mean that she feels uncomfortable around you. Softening one's voice could be so as to not shout in someone's face. Spending a lot of time with you could mean you got friend zone'd (see http://forums.xisto.com/topic/35857-do-you-believe-in-the-friend-zone/). Okay, my point is that you can't judge if someone likes you based on these "signs," and chain letters are stupid.

But how can you say that if you missed most of your high school ones?Two years of high school has two homecomings, junior prom, senior prom, senior slump, tons of hours with friends, and I probably forgot a lot.

Too bad if you use javascript to change browser size people will most of the time leave your site immediately. Also consider that not everyone uses the same monitor resolution and some people disable javascript. In Firefox I think JS browser size changing is default off. Javascript can be used for a lot of cool things, but stuff like that is pretty n00by.

A GED is definitely not the same as a High School diploma, no matter how equivalent it's supposed to be. To pass a GED test, you have to be in the 40th percentile of high school seniors. Some colleges won't accept that alone: It's also mostly (all?) multiple choice, unlike high school classes and a lot of final exams. I'm just curious, but did your parents let you drop out or were you emancipated? Are you aware that you're only making more money than your friends because they're training to be able to get better jobs? You're also missing a lot of fun high school experiences.

This is a module that I made for the Google personalized homepage that checks AIM online status as you type. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><Module> <ModulePrefs title="AIM Online Status Checker" height="50" /> <Content type="html"> <![CDATA[This is all the basic stuff you need to have it be XML <script type="text/javascript">Here's the first function function check(){ var sn = document.getElementById("sn").value; if(sn == null || sn == '') { document.getElementById("online").style["display"] = "none"; document.getElementById("offline").style["display"] = "none"; return; } sn = escape(sn.toLowerCase()); var str = "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; var page = _IG_FetchContent(str, function(s) { update(s); });}This gets the String sn from the input box with id "sn." If it's blank, it hides the things that say online and offline. Finally it uses the method _IG_FetchContent to get the status from a page I wrote that connects to the AIM server. You can find out how to do that on Google. It then calls the function update using the text from the php file. function update(response){ if(response == "online") { document.getElementById("online").style["display"] = "inline"; document.getElementById("offline").style["display"] = "none"; } else { document.getElementById("offline").style["display"] = "inline"; document.getElementById("online").style["display"] = "none"; }}Since the php file online outputs "online" or "offline," it checks which it says and hides the appropriate span, revealing the other. </script> <div id="thethethe" style="font-family: Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <form action=""> <input type="text" id="sn" size="20" maxlength="16" onkeyup="check()" /> is <span id="online" style="font-weight: bold; color: #00FF00; display: none;">online</span> <span id="offline" style="font-weight: bold; color: #FF0000; display: none;">offline</span><br /> <input type="button" value="Re-check" onclick="check()" />This is the form and the two spans which say either online or offline. If you'll notice the part in the input box that says "onkeyup," that's what makes it do it as you type. If you hit Re-check, it will check if the person is online again. </form> </div> ]]> </Content></Module> You can add this to your own Google personalized homepage by clicking "Add Content," then "Add by URL," and putting http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ in the box.

Don't try to convince atheists of the existance of one (or many) God(s), don't try to convince mono- or polytheists of the nonexistance of God(s), you'll just end up pissing off somebody.You can't convince anybody that what he or she believes in is wrong unless he or she has already started doubting it. No matter how good the evidence for one side is, the only thing you'll do is make the other side angry by telling them that they're wrong. Why do you think so many wars have been focused on religion? I don't remember who said it or what exactly he said, but there was a quote I heard that is something like "If you want to make someone angry, tell him that his belief system is wrong."Now from reading this response do you think that I'm religious? That I agree that atheism is wrong? I'm not religious at all, I just know what makes people angry, and this is a very good example of that.

I'm not currently, I'm just curious as to other peoples' opinions.

I tried that- it works, but it's like "[link]Quote ######," not the quote itself.

The "friend zone" is somewhat like a point of no return. It's the point where a girl and a guy have become too good friends for the girl to consider a relationship (I've never heard of it being reversed- the guy not considering the girl).I don't know if I believe in it. I've certainly experienced something like it (several times), but I kind of cling to the hope that it doesn't exist.

I'm trying to do some basic stuff with RSS and XML, partially to make modules for personalized Google, but mostly to get experience with XML. I tried making one that would use the bash.org RSS feed (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) to get the last 3 quotes added, but I kind of just made something up and it didn't work: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><Module> <ModulePrefs title="Bash: Lastest Quotes" height="100" /> <Content type="url" href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; /></Module>The module shows up, but it's blank. How can I make this work? Also, somewhat unrelated, but how can I get the contents of a page for parsing?

What's really funny is that you can click every radio button and they'll all stay clicked. That being said, I don't think you can really narrow down the "funniest" person to two people. Everyone has a different style and appeals for different reasons. That being said, I think that Dave Barry is the funniest person in print and Russell Peters is probably my favorite comedian.

It's funny because if he leave, hordes of rabid preteen girls will attack him for disrupting the HP series.

Doesn't take much reasearch to find out that he was born in November of 1955, which would make him 50. I found a picture on Wikipedia: http://news.a.com.com/

"What Is...?" is for explaining things, not for asking questions. That topic with the word "rules" in all caps is there for a reason.

On Windows then you should be able to use the command "start." I'm not sure if it would work in this context, but it does in command prompt- usually if you start a program or batch file, it does the same thing that you're talking about, but start runs it independently. This is what I would do: system("start /D. /B myprg");/D. is the path, so if it's in a different directory, use /D"path to its directory" /B says not to make a new window. If it's a text based thing then take that out.

I did that, too. It took forever. There was this option on the menu after I beat it that I pressed, thinking that I would be able to access a level select or something. It reset my whole achievement ;_;

Some decompilers exist, but they're not very good. You can't get the exact source, and they vary by the program that you used to compile in the first place.

Just to clarify/correct one thing, Java is compiled into byte code, not beta code. The byte code is then interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). So really, Java is both compiled and interpreted. It's not fully compiled into machine code which makes it decompileable, unlike C/C++/other stuff. Find a free trial of DJ Java Decompiler and try it out on your own stuff to see.

Good point- a cool guy like he has probably had his fair share of girls.

I was trained on Swing, and am familiar with Threads. I'll check out that site. Edit after reading page: Didn't think it would be that easy, the JWindow class pretty much takes care of everything except the automatic closing. Thanks for the help!
