    Okay, I'm back! I uninstalled Firefox completely according to what you guys said, especially what haron said.The problem is, the cookie problem is still there! *sigh* Looks like I just wasted 5 minutes, but now I know it's not Firefox's fault.Oh well...now to download all my extensions back!Thanks for all the responses , and sorry for the double post.

    What do you mean by "share cookies with IE"? I thought Firefox and IE can't be connected in any way? I may be wrong... How would one go about sharing cookies with IE? Thanks for all the tip! I'll try that later tonight when I don't have anything better to do, and I'll post the update later.

    I've been meaning to suggest this for a long time, but you beat me to it!I agree, the edit button should be put back because sometimes, even after checking your own post, there is somehow a spelling error, grammatical error, or any other errors that are unfixed.Or when you read your own post after posting, you realized that you didn't make a good point or explain your problem clearly, but you can't go back and edit because the edit button is not there.

    I have a serious problem with Firefox: the cookies for some sites do not work. In other words, when I'm logged into a site, like as the admin on my gallery for example, my session ends immediately. My session behaves normally when I'm logged into my email services, but my cookies behave really weird in other sites.I have two solutions to this, one drastic and the other not drastic. I can either format my computer and start from scratch, or I can completely rid of computer of any traces of Firefox, including ALL history, passwords saved, cookies, and cache.I've chosen the latter for obvious reasons.So my question is: does anyone know how to COMPLETELY uninstall Firefox? Please do not say something like "Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs." I've tried that, and it does not work because all my older settings were still on my computer.Thanks in advance!

    The small image next to the address is called a favicon. You don't have to download a program or anything to convert your images to a favicon. You can use an online tool by html-kit at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. All you have to do is look for an image from your hard drive, and press Generate FavIcon.ico. Then, you can download the generate .ico file in a zip, and use it in your website! Here's the website of the online tool that I was referring to ^: http://favicon.htmlkit.com/favicon/. Also, to put the favicon in your browser, insert the following HTML code between the <head> tags: <link rel="icon" href="swirl2.ico" type="image/x-icon"><link rel="shortcut icon" href="swirl2.ico" type="image/x-icon">katif mentioned , but I added a third argument: the type. Also, putting two in your webpage will increase your chances of the favicon showing in older browsers.

    Bee! I got the page to work...all by myself! No offense to you of course. I went to the library and checked out a book called Sams Teach Yourself PHP4 in 24 Hours. There is a section in there on how to read and write files, so I used their examples as a guide for my own code. Of course, I used your code as a template. Here is the final code that works: <?php$hello = $_GET["name"];$file = "info.txt";$handle = fopen($file, "a"); //Says to open file (or create file) for writing and starts the pointer at the endfwrite($handle, $hello); //takes whatever is in the address bar and append to info.txtfwrite($handle, ";\n"); //adds a newlinefclose($handle); //Closes file connection?> I created a info.txt and placed it in the same directory as my blah.php file. Aren't you proud of me? I have barely no knowledge of PHP whatsoever! Man, I'm excited!

    DMA, to make games for your calculator, or for the TI-83 or for any other Z80-based processors, you will have to program in ASM, or assembly, compile the source code, and send the compiled program to your calculator. ASM, however, could do serious damage to your calculator if you don't know how to program. I don't know how to program in assembly, so I can't give you specifics. To answer the thread's question, yes I have made several BASIC programs for the TI-83 Plus and the TI-89. They are all on ticalc.org's server, though: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/authors/77/7787.html Ticalc is a great community to be a part if you want know learn about calculator programming. Who knows, once you create a good program, your entire school could be using it! (Just like me! )

    I've never played any first person shooters except for Duke Nukem 3D, but that was YEARS ago, so I guess it doesn't really count anymore. I will, though, buy an XBox and several of the popular games today when I live by myself. daman, I think you should give credit to where you *coughs* stole *coughs* your code from: http://www.ign.com/cheats/games/halo-2-xbox-482228. That's plagiarism, and it could get you expelled when you go to college.

    I think it's too cluttered. Personally, I'd take a program that does its job in a simple GUI rather than a complicated one that doesn't, which happened to me several times when using Shareaza. A new torrent file was released, and Shareaza could not download it.

    I'll tell you exactly what said on Jimmy's post when he asked how he could attract more users. The first thing you should do is follow nickmealey's recommendation: "include humor". Humor will get you far in life: everybody, especially members of the opposite sex, will be more attracted to you. Well, members of similar sex won't be attracted to you in a sexual way, of course. You can include things like jokes, and funny images in your site to attract people. One of the main reasons, in my opinion, why popular sites are popular is that they include what people want when they're bored, and those are humorous contents. Two examples are http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and http://homestarrunner.com/. Second, you can add a games section. Want to know why games are so popular? Try this with me: 1. Go to Google Suggest at https://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en&gws_rd=ssl 2. Type in "games" (without quotes) 3. Look at the number of results: 369,000,000. That means about 369,000,000 people get bored and want to play online games or know more about certain games. 4. Narrow down your search a bit to "free games" (again, without quotes) 5. Look at the results: 38,700,000 results. This means 38,700,000 people want to either play free games or download free games. 6. What to know how many people actually want to play games online? Type in "free online games" (without quotes) 7. Note the results: 28,200,000 See why games are so popular? This is the most important step of the other two. In other words, if you don't do this, chances are your site will remain barren for all eternity. You have to have starter traffic. This means that when your site is perfect for presentation, you have to show a couple of good friends. Your friends will tell their friends, that is, if your site is worthy enough (you can make it worthy by using my suggestions), and before long, flocks of people will be coming to your site and wasting your bandwidth. There is an alternative to this, however. You can use the Search Engine Submit feature in your cPanel to automatically submit your site to popular search engines such as Google. Do this regularly to assure the best rank. Before doing this, however, you absolutely have to make sure your site is attractive. If your site looks anything like it does now (no offense intended), then when your site is truly good, people will not come because your subdomain will have a reputation of bad content. Speaking of subdomains, choosing a good subdomain will help you get more visitors. Think about it, which would catch your attention: a site that is full of attractive content like the aforementioned with a lousy subdomain/domain or a site that is full of attractive content like the aforementioned with a brilliant subdomain? I choose the latter. To sum up my post, you need: 1. Humor based content 2. Word of mouth/search engine 3. (optional) Goog subdomain/domain name By the way, you might want to double check all your URLs to see if they work before uploading your site because when I went to your site, none of the pictures work. Also, you can either change your background color or make your font darker because the contrast that you have now make everything extremely hard to read. When people get frustrated on a site, chances are that they will leave. Hope that all helps, and good luck on your site.

    Several things came to mind when I went to your site:First, kill the dot tk domain because your real subdomain is not that much longer than your tk domain, so I don't think your users mind typing in a couple of extra letters...especially if their browser remembers site history.Second, I love your little "no rights reserved" thing at the end. Very nice and funny! People like funny, so adding more humor to your site would be awesome.Hope that helps!

    The plans on Dreamhost are divided into levels. The higher your level, the better your features are. I had to do it in the code box because that was the only way I could get the spacings to show up correctly. Source: https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/

    Getting more visitors and returning visitors is tough. The only sure-fire way to attract more visitors is to add more content. For example, consider adding a games and a funny images section on your site because those are what people look for on Google when they're bored. Also, if you know anything that could help rising webmasters, then post tutorials on your site. When you give what people want and give it to them regularly, you will find flocks of returning visitors. If you want, you could start off small by putting a small link to your site in your AIM profile. You could also give you site you friends in hope that they will give it to their friends and so on. Try to avoid the personal stuff if you can because people usually don't care about that - no offense, Jimmy. I mentioned Google above. One of the main reasons why popular sites are popular is because they're on Google and other major search engines. Use the Web Site Submit in your cPanel regulary to submit your website to major search engines. Lastly, you can add a counter to your site to track all your visitors. I recommend statcounter at http://statcounter.com/ because it provides the best features for the best price - free - that I have seen. Hope that helps. Good luck Jimbo!

    He's still alive, and recently, he took one more bullet from Game (or someone in Game's posse). Game, on the other hand, supposedly took 4 more bullets than 50. Both rappers are still alive.

    OOO! I want to know how to do this, too.I don't use PHPNuke, but I do have a blog (powered by Nucleus), and I want people to access it directly in my root directory without having to add a redirect code.*tracks topic*

    I think it's good that they're making amends because, like Eminem, I'm tired of all this rap beef, and I would not want either of them to die in a shooting, but on the other hand, this could be some big set-up for a huge gangbang or propaganda for their albums.

    I've seen Dell computer specifications, and I don't like it. Some people would say that you get the most for your money, and to some extent, I agree. Their computers are usually around 1.5 GHz to 2.9 GHz, and that's really good.If you're into heavy gaming like Far Cry or video editing, I would not recommend it because you'll probably get 4 FPS. I currently have a 2.5 GHz computer, and it's a piece of shizzle. Spend your money on a good video card instead. You'll like it in the long run.

    Woo hoo! So far, no one has gotten confused by the double BitComet's!Casanova, I'm the exactly opposite as you - I like simple programs that get the jobs done, and you like complicated programs that get the job done. But so far, my BitTorrent client, BitTornado, is beating your Azureus

    It turns out this is not simple as it seems - not for me, at least. This is what I did: 1. Created a blank info.txt file 2. Created a blah.php file (I chose a random name) 3. Copied your code above to blah.php 4. Saved blah.php 5. Uploaded info.txt to my public_html/www folder 6. Uploaded blah.php to my public_html/www folder 7. Changed info.txt's and blah.php's permissions to 777 - just in case 8. Went to sang.trap17.com/blah.php&hello=yes 9. The browser redirected me to my custom 404 error page Is there a step I'm missing in this seemingly easy process because my PHP knowledge is severly limited? Please post a reply. Thank you!

    Haha, I have 56K, too! *high-fives Mike* Having a 56K connection does come in handy sometimes because websites will sometimes have a hard time trying to block you...unless if a portion of your IP address doesn't change (like the first several digits). Sometimes, it doesn't come in handy, like games. Some games, like Gunbound, require that you turn their Security feature on to protect your account. Well, all that feature is is just refusing to let anyone whose IP address doesn't match yours enter. Again, sometimes it helps, other times, it's plain annoying. Of course, it's not like I've been banned anywhere.

    Googlue, I'm loving you're template and your site! Very nice! It's very simple, yet gets the point across. By the way, did the Quote of the Day section come with Mambo or did you code that yourself?Are you a med-student?

    I have Keyboard Launchpad from Object Desktop by Stardock, but I don't use it because it wastes my system resources (yes, I'm a minimalist). http://www.stardock.com/products/klp/ is the place you need to go to learn more about it.

    ARGH!! There is another pop-up site where you can test your pop-up blocker, but the thing about this one is that Firefox actually fails! Yes, you heard me fellow, FF users, FAIL!Once I find it, I'll post it, but I'm just letting you know that Firefox isn't all that cracked up to be...even though I use it myself.
