  1. That game is sweet! I think I found something kind of like that as a flash game online, but it was a boat and a bunch of other boats shooting at you and stuff. It's a lot funner when you use the controller, though, because with the flash game, you used the mouse to aim, and it kept going off the game, and it wouldn't work. But you can't have that problem with this game. It's got some pretty cool graphics, too.
  2. I thought they were all legal! Just because it's a torrent doesn't mean it's illegal! That's just like the only way they spread around all of their songs.
  3. My Calc teacher was talking about that a couple of days ago. I thought there was something in the guy's quote about the solution being really simple or something, but then he died and no one could figure it out. I don't think he said who it was that finally proved it, though.
  4. The best thing I can think of to help practice with PHP is to try and make your own forum. You can start out with a template, but only use it for ideas, and when you get completely stumped.It's a really hard project to start out with, so you might want to start out with a comments page or something to make sure you know how to do database connectivity, but if you can make a full, working forum, then you can pretty truthfully say you know a LOT about PHP. And making a forum isn't really about knowing a lot about PHP, it's about knowing programming in general, you just have to keep it organized, and you'll learn a lot about PHP and mySQL along the way.If you're into programming at all, it should be pretty fun, too.
  5. This is something that could help if you actually have more HTML on your page than PHP. The echo tag is pretty much exactly like typing in HTML outside of the php tags, so you can also just end the php, and start it and end it whenever you have variables again or something. <?php$var = "Someone's Name";?>Some HTML that you want to do.Some more HTML that has <?php $var; ?>.That should display: Some HTML that you want to do.Some more HTML that has Someone's Name. You might have to put <?php echo $var; ?> instead of <?php $var ?> But I'm not really sure. Just try it, and it should work. At leas one of them will. That would only be better if you have a bunch of HTML and only a little PHP code. You could also use that to copy HTML over and over again: <?phpfor($i=0;$i<100;$i++) {?>some HTML that you want to loop 100 times.<?php}?> I think I've tried that before, and it worked. If I have any errors in that, feel free to correct me. I hope this helps!
  6. Frets on Fire is a free game, pretty much like Guitar hero for your computer. You hold your keyboard sideways and use the F1-F5 keys as the frets (it's actually easier to reset them to just 1-5).It's possible to make your own songs for it, and it's pretty much as good as guitar hero, unless you get a song that was crappily made. If you look around, you can find pretty much anything, or you can look up tutorials on how to make new songs(with completely free software).You should find it right away if you just google Frets on Fire. There are also some youTube demonstrations of it, like the Canon Rock (my favorite, even though I can't do it), and many others.If you ever have nothing else to do, you should try it, it's pretty fun.
  7. That's pretty friggin sweet! I didn't know you could name a folder with an extension. I wonder what else you could use that for...
  8. hippi.trap17.com My site is just stuff I do when I'm bored. Right now, it's not up, because I haven't posted on here in a while, but it should be back up within a few hours of when I post this. My site just has a couple random flash games I've made, and if you go to The Java Section there are a few java applets I've made. I might eventually make some java, javaScript, PHP, CSS, HTML or actionScript tutorials, and make my own little comments page, so I know how much I'm actually helping, then maybe even make a little forum that everyone can use. But I think people can already get enough help from w3schools and Xisto for now. I have too much school work for now to get that all started. But when I get my points back up(Most likely shortly after posting this), I hope you'll all check it out. When I get it up I'll edit this and show my two favorite things on my site so far.(Everything else is pretty much boring.)
  9. I was looking through the topics in this section, and I saw yoga as a form of martial arts. And I started to wonder what exactly martial arts was.I thought it was the art of fighting, or practicing for fighting, or it at least had to have something to do with fighting. So how does yoga fit into that?So, I was just wondering, does anyone have a concrete definition of martial arts? Does it have to do with fighting, or just motion or something like that?
  10. Ok, if you've gotten blender, and you have an ATI video card (I'm not sure what all kinds this works for), and Blender has been going really slow, even if your specs are perfect, here's something for you. Speed up Blender! This guy found out that the nvidia openGL drivers work perfectly for ati. All you have to do is find their dll (It's pretty easy with google) and rename it to atioglxx.dll and put it in your Blender directory, or even the system32 folder. Just to be safe, though, I would back up the old dll somewhere. I think I saved myself like more than $100 doing that, because I was about to get a new video card. I have ATI Radeon XPress 200, and Blender had been going pretty slow, but games like Half-Life were working perfectly. I did that little fix, and now Blender is faster than ever. Just so you know. And if any moderators find this, you can make it a new topic wherever it's supposed to be or whatever. This is the best place I could think of.
  11. That story sounds like something made up. There's a possibility, like if it snagged on something that took it all the way across the ocean, then was dislodged, and the wind was just right so it floated directly to the person, but I don't really think that would happen.But, according to the doorknob from Alice in Wonderland: "Nothing is impossible, only improbable!"
  12. I'd be willing to help out with anything you need, but I wouldn't be able to get a job with you, because I'm only a senior in high school right now.I think I might be able to help, because I'm pretty proficient in HTML, PHP, Java, javaScript, SQL, and CSS. And if you're using Xisto, php and SQL are already set up, and we could probably ask if we needed anything like JSP installed or something.But just let me know if you ever need anything, and if I'm not stuck with hours of homework(I'm usually not) I'll try and get whatever you need for you. The only thing I have problems with is getting stuff to work across browsers(mostly just to the old IE), but there are a lot of things online to help with that. So just let me know.I also have photoShop, so I can help with the look of the page, too. But I have a friend that's better than me at it, so I'll probably get him to help with that part. I think he's actually going to go in to a graphic design career, but he hasn't said for sure, yet. I'll let him know about you.It's probably better to contact me on Xisto, because I don't check my gMail very much.
  13. GIMP is the best one out there. I only had it for a while, but it's definitely the best free one. It can do pretty much anything photoShop can. I think Photoshop just has some more filters and a better UI, and maybe a few more options, but GIMP can still do it all, if you can figure it out. And it's interface isn't really that bad, it's just that photShop's is better, because people were getting paid a LOT to make it.
  14. So you mean you want to make like an arcade, but for online games?If you want something like that, pretty much all you have to do is have an area with computers with the games you're offering installed on them. You should get pretty fast ones, so if any new games come out that you would want to offer, and their requirements are really high, you won't have to buy all new computers or anything.For WoW and games like that, it would be difficult to figure out how to charge, because people have to have accounts for that, and some of them make you pay monthly. You could either make their accounts free and charge them by the hour they play, or you could just make them pay a little more for the account, so you still make some profit. I don't think it's really smart to make them get free accounts, though, because if they just go and play at your center for an hour, and they leave, they would be able to install the game at home, and you would end up paying for their account from then on.The hardest part would be getting the equipment to start up and figuring out a good system for how to charge them.For a place to start it up, it depends on where you live. That's probably going to be one of the hardest decisions.Good luck, though!
  15. You're right. School is fun when you have good friends, you're in sports, and you have a girlfriend.I've always had good friends, and I used to play hacky sack all the time (wasn't really a school sport, but it's still considered a sport.).I had a girlfriend in 10th grade, but she broke up with me, and never really explained why. And now, one of my best friends, Adam, left the hacky sack circle to go to some Boot Camp thing. So that pretty much ruined all of it, and now school sucks. I got in all of the hardest classes I could get, and they're all friggin' boring. I really miss Adam and my girlfriend and hacky sack. Life used to be good.DANG IT! You just made me realize how bad my life sucks right now! I was perfectly fine like five minutes ago!
  16. You could probably bet your life that Xisto will stay free and won't delete your files or anything (notice that I said probably; personally I wouldn't bet my life on anything)This is the best host I've had so far, and I've had it since like last year sometime, and there are lots of people that have been on it for a lot longer.I had some of the same problems you've had (the host just disappearing, or just stopping their free services.) I haven't had any problems yet with Xisto. There was like one time when nothing was working for maybe a couple of hours, but they fixed it right away, and it was just because they were moving everything. But that's one time in like a year.
  17. Isn't a cyborg a mix between a human and a robot, like a person with robot parts? If I'm right, then saying you wouldn't marry a cyborg because they're a cyborg would be like saying, "I will never marry a cripple." That's just wrong. I stumbleUpon'd a video about something kind of like that once. There were a bunch of people that had these dolls that looked almost like real people, and they used them for just that. They had a whole documentary on the lives of those people that had those dolls. They weren't just like regular sex dolls either. The people that owned them actually got emotionally attached to them, and they would dress them up and talk to them, all day long. I don't think that's very likely. I thought there were more women than men in the world, right now, anyway. And there was something on the discovery channel about how women could live without men, anyway. They could take the genes from one person's egg and inject them into someone else's, and have a new person. They haven't really tried it yet, I don't think, and one of the reasons they're not killing all the guys off is because there wouldn't be enough diversity in people's genes and everyone would start to die off. And with marrying robots, I don't think anyone's going to start doing that until they've gotten AI, and they can somehow prove that it really has it's own personality, and it's not just a randomized program or something. It has to be able to learn, and they have to have some way to give it feelings. They're starting to get some stuff like that, but nowhere near good enough for someone to want to marry it (unless they're mentally unstable or something).
  18. Netflix isn't that bad. They may try to cheat you, but what company doesn't? Once you're with them, everything's fine, at least it has been for us. My family has been using Netflix for at least a couple of years, I think, and we've only gotten a few scratched discs, and all we had to do was clean them, and they were fine.I wouldn't start getting stuff from a company just because of a free trial, though, because they all have ways to cheat you out of it.
  19. Whenever I can't get something to work, I usually just Google it, and W3Schools is usually one of the first things to come up, and it's usually the one that has the best solutions. I think it's the first site I went to to learn javaScript, and I just went through the first couple of things to understand the syntax, and started trying stuff on my own until I try something that doesn't work, and I Google it again.With almost any language, if you want to learn it fast, you can probably just google it. That's what I've done with HTML, Javascript, Java, C, C++, PHP, and Python. I'm still looking in to Python, though. I don't know everything about ever single one, but I know enough, that if I have a problem I can fix it either with basic debugging skills, google, or Xisto.
  20. I saw Sodoku a while ago(probably a couple of years), and I've seen my friends trying to do it, but it wasn't very challenging, so I got bored after like the first 2. I might try the kakuro, though, if I can find one.
  21. Well, the first system we had in my family was the atari, but it broke when I was probably like 5, so I never got to play it very much. The first one I actually remember playing a lot was the NES, then my brother got an N64. The first system I actually bought myself was SEGA, but I only got like 3 games, and I never played them very much. The first system that I owned that I actually went through a game on was the Wii.I had already beaten games on the NES and the N64, but the Wii was the only one of the systems that I beat a game on that I owned.I think I was actually deprived because the Atari was broken, and I never got to play SNES or any of the Playstations except at friends' houses.
  22. What specifically doesn't work with this script?If nothing comes up at all, make sure you've closed all of your HTML tags, and if that doesn't work, try just putting one line of javascript at a time. First make it so it just displays something when you click the button, like:document.write("You clicked a button. Yay for you!");If that doesn't work, then you know it's probably not even calling the function. If it does work, keep adding lines of your original code, preferably one at a time, until it stops working, then you know there's something wrong with that line.That's basic debugging skills.Girls only like guys who've got good skills! Gosh! ...Sorry if I misquoted Napoleon.
  23. For something like that, you need to use php. There are a lot of tutorials on how to do different things with php, and I'm pretty sure there's one on how to do mail with it. There should be something on Google if you can't find it here. If you're trying to test the file on your home computer, you need to have php installed(most likely with Apache). EasyPHP is the easiest way to install everything you need for php and mySql(that I know of). I've never successfully been able to get a mail form to work on my home computer, but everything works on hosted sites here, because they already have everything installed. According to http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/php/5 you need this: <?php$to = "php@gowansnet.com";$subject = "PHP Is Great";$body = "PHP is one of the best scripting languages around";$headers = "From: webmaster@gowansnet.com\n";mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);echo "Mail sent to $to";?> To set one of those variables to equal an input, just make sure everything is all in one form, make some text inputs, set their id to something useful (such as 'body') and set the form's action to be the url of your php file.(HTML and php can be in the same file. Just make sure the php is enclosed in <?php and ?> tags) Then, instead of having it be "$body = '...'", you set it to "$body = $_POST['body']"(without the double quotes) Then you can do that for whichever other variables you need. I'm not sure if you're ever supposed to set the 'from' variable for the mail function. I hope this was helpful, and if anything I've said doesn't work, either ask the other people on the forums, or Google it.
  24. I did a quick search of the forum to see if there was anything about Blender, and I found a bunch of topics with it in them, but there were no reviews of it. So, if you've ever wanted a pretty easy-to-learn, free way to make 3d animations, or just 3d images, I think Blender's for you. Link to Blender There are a lot of examples on the site, and the best one I've found is Elephants Dream. They used all free software to make it, and Blender was the main program. It's relatively easy to make models and skeletons for them, and you can use Yafray(Yet Another Free Ray Tracer) to make it render faster, and I think it has more options. There are plenty of tutorials online for it, and if you already have experience with other animation programs, it's almost the same thing, but free. The user interface is sweet! You can split the windows however many times you want, and use them for whatever you want. You can use more than one monitor, too, and have it display the 3d views on one, and the options and stuff on the other. It's like the most customizable UI I've ever seen. If you ever want to do anything having to do with animation, you should look at it. You can do almost anything already, and if theres something you want to do that you can't find, there are ways to use Python scripts to do whatever you want.
  25. Not that this really matters, but my account should be back up in a couple of hours, according to the thing.I probably should have just copied my HTML file and posted it as part of this topic, though, because I'm kind of slow at posting, and I've had this happen before.Thanks for the comments, though. I need to check some of that out when my account gets back up.
