Hi, I just wanted to let you know about how bad most web browsers really do when it comes to being standard compliant. This simple test allows you to check whether yours really has any web rendering flaw. Try it here: http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html By the way, the results for the most important browsers: - Internet Explorer 6 :: Fails (Badly!) - Internet Explorer 7 :: Fails (Badly!) - Mozilla Firefox 1, 1.5, 2.0.0.X :: Fails - Mozilla Firefox 3.0 Alpha 2 or superior :: Passes - Opera 9.X :: Passes - Konqueror 3.5 :: Passes - Safari 2.0.3 :: Passes - Netscape 7.2 :: Fails Interesting, huh? More on it on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid2 Notice from Plenoptic: Merged topics. Please use the search feature before making a topic.

I live in Spain and I have I have 4Mbps, which is enough for me.

For me, it depends on how much work I have to do. Basically, my schedule is built asking me these questions in this order:1- Do I have important work? Yes, so spend time doing that.2- Do I have something to do out there with my friends? Yes, then use remaining time for that.3- Do I still have spare time (i.e.: nothing to do)? Yeas, then go on the computer.

I've been doing Judo since I was four years old (sixteen right now) and I have got a brown belt which I've worn for like three years, getting ready for the black one. Hopefully next year I will be getting it.By the way, did you know that when you have a black belt and you find yourself in a fight, you have to tell the others that you are a black belt. If you don't, they can even sue you for not telling them and they would be right. I think it's funny, but it sucks, like having to fight a guy and saying: 'Hold on, let me tell you that I'm a black belt.' But it would be kind of funny too..

I don't really know about Stanford's course, but I learned C++ from "C++ for Dummies" and believe, it's not crap, and fairly understandable and readable.The author recommended Dev-C++ too, which is good for console programs, because it includes all the stuff you need to compile it. However if you move to 'window' programming for Windows, I'd take Visual-C++. But that will come in when you have got the basics, and until then, Dev-C++ was my pick too.

I use the following:- AdBlock Plus: well, you know it- AdBlock Filterset.G Updater: power filtering for AdBlock Plus- AdBlock Element Hiding Helper: allows you to hid custom images, divs, etc. by selecting them with your cursor (good for websites not completely adblocked where you go often)- Session Manager: saves your browsing session at times while browsing and when you leave so that you can recover it more easily- Download Statusbar: prevents the use of the download box which disturbs me- FireFTP: full-featured built-in FTP client with nice interface and easy to use- DownloadThemAll!: built-in download manager for Firefox. MUST HAVE!- Firebug: debug javascript, inspect web elements, debug CSS, retrieve current HTML source for dynamic pages... MUST HAVE FOR WEBSITE DEVELOPERS

Tango rules, I love it. Check it out here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tango/

The only game I have ever been addicted to was World of Warcraft.I think the problem of MMORPGs is that you actually that because there's other people playing, you're not isolated and you're socializing. But now that I've dropped this gaming, I realize that I lost many hours there (just to get $200 on eBay for my account, lol). The actual thing is there's competition between people to see who levels up first or gets such or such thing done, and when you get that, you receive a burst of adrenalin that it makes you want to play even more. And because it costs you a great deal of time, and therefore, effort, you feel that you have accomplished something. Something important. But when you stop playing you realize all that stuff is worth nothing. And you have dropped so many things in the real world that you're even tempted to play again in that virtual world where you still can achieve something by just giving out your time.So basically, the sooner you stop, the easier it is. And when you stop you should make sure to get rid of whatever you achieved. That way it will be easier to understand its lack of worth and also more difficult to go back because you have to start all over again.

Ouch, I was expecting the actual list :PAnyway if you find European SMS sites they would serve me well too, thanks in advance.

Cool thank you, looking forward to more of these tips.

I think you could even make it a little faster like this (if it's got a big database): if($title!="" && mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `downloads` WHERE `title` = '".$title."' LIMIT 1"))==0){$add = true;$query = "INSERT INTO `downloads` (title, date, description, link, crack, ip) VALUES ('$title','$date','$description', '$link', '$crack', '$ip')";$result = mysql_query($query);}else echo "<b>Download NOT Added</b><br/>The title you entered was either invalid or already exists.";if ($result) {if ($add){echo "<b>Download Added</b><br/>You can add another in 2 seconds.";}echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=2;url=submit.php>";}This way if it finds an entry it will stop querying, which is good for keeping MySQL queries as low as possible.

Wow, awesome, I thought I had to use CGI to zip/unzip, I didn't know it could be done with PHP.

I started learning C++ when I was 13 because I wanted to know more about how computers worked, and I was intrigued by what software really was. After a few VB6 tutorials I felt the whole thing was a bit lame so I tried another language, C++. After that I began a book about making RPGs with DirectX9 and that gave me much more practice with the whole language. By that time I learned other languages as well, which lead me to web design too.

It used to be OK, but the other day I registered for an account and they asked for my phone number so I put in a fake 555ish and I got a message saying "we'll phone you to confirm your details" and I was like WTF is this? Damn them!

Dreamweaver all the way! Did anybody say PHP syntax highlighting?
