There's no time off from Internet threats. A flaw common to Firefox and IE could leak passwords, while a security hole in Mac OS X is among the latest in a promised month of bugs. __________ 50 didrex mg buy in online usa viagra

I've tried a good number of Keyword Research Tools, both free and paid, until I finally settled on an amazing free tool called Search It! In short, it's a very thorough research tool that can be used over and over again for all kinds of searches, including brainstorming, competitive research, domain naming, adding new ideas to an existing business, researching keywords and sites to the nth degree. It uses various angles of approach in context with the kind of search that is being done. And the online help is very easy and straightforward. I recommend you take a good look at the online help before you start using this tool, since it has too many options. When I first saw it, I almost left since I found the interface a little too cluttered. But the online helpful breaks it all down into meaningful sections, and provides enough information on each and every function. Cheers.

As usual, a great post, Vyoma . I'll just try to talk about another aspect of SEO software... When people metion SEO Software, I suppose either one of two things come to mind... software that submits pages to the SEs, or... software that actually optimizes Web pages. The first kind doesn't actually optimize anything. From what I've been reading, it usually does more harm than good, since most isn't sophisticated enough to adequately handle all SEs, each with its own rules and guidelines. And the second kind doesn't really exist, since current technology can't support this type of artificial intelligence on a large scale. BUT there's something close to that... For example, I use an online system that basically walks me through all the steps of Search Engine Optimization. It works something like this... first, I use the Keyowrd Analysis Tool to come up with a good keyword for my new Web page. After all, one of the most important steps in SEO is choosing a good keyword. So this tool researches the demand and supply for a particular keyword (using services like Yahoo Vertical Search, Google AdWords Analysis, Metasearches, etc.) and gives me a number of high-potential keywords related to my page's theme. then the system forwards me to the actual "page creation" process, where it provides me with a concise description of the different tags (e.g. title, headings, etc.) and how they affect SE rankings, along with tips on how to optimize those tags for my particular keyword. after that, I start writing my content. When I finish, I run the page through the Page Analysis Tool, which checks the page structure against an algorithm based on other high-ranking Web pages, and provides me tips on how to better structure my page, in terms of keyword placement, keyword density, SE guidelines, and things of the sort. and lastly, after the system finishes all the in-house steps, it automatically submits my new page to the Search Engine, making sure that it follows the rules and guidelines of each SE. and now that the page has already been submitted, the system keeps track of its spidering, indexing, and placement in the different SEs, notifying me whenever the page needs better optimization. This system is called SBI!, and I have to admit it's pretty good. It's not free, mind you, but since I started using it, I believe it's worth every dime I spent on it. I've mentioned it here as an example of a SEO tool of the second kind. Naturally, it doesn't actually do the optimization for you, but at least it helps making the process as simple and as straightforward as possible. It boils down all the essential SEO information and techniques into a step-by-step process that saves the user a lot of time and effort. So I guess I can sum up this post in one sentence... "Page-submittance software" up til now is really not worth it. It invariably does more harm than good. And as for "Page-Optimization software," there actually is no such thing so far, but there are things that come as close to it as possible. And, at the end of the day, if you can't spare the money needed to buy such software, then you should make the commitment to spare the time needed to learn and apply solid SEO concepts. It's not really that hard, BUT it does require time, effort, and willingness to learn. I hope I didn't unnecessarily talk too much. Sometimes I get carried away . Cheers.

Sitemaps.org Believe it, Google, MSN and Yahoo works together.
iGuest replied to TavoxPeru's topic in Search Engines
To tell you the truth, I didn't believe this when I first read it. I mean, seriously now, when was the last time you heard about Microsoft working with any other company to produce something that would benefit the user more than it'd benefit Microsoft itself?! But I went ahead and searched for more information on this (since the Sitemaps.org Website doesn't provide all that much) and found this... Microsoft, Google, Yahoo! Unite to Support Sitemaps It's an article from the LiveSearch's WebLog at the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN.com), officially announcing this news. Which is a good thing, I think Even though it's not customary for Microsoft to standardize things, no matter how much it'd be beneficial to end-users, I suppose they finally saw the point. Either that or they found themselves having to follow suit, after how Webmasters strongly welcomed the Sitemap concept when Google produced it. Either way, I believe this is good news. Firstly, Webmasters don't have to generate different sitemaps to suit different Search Engines. Secondly, from now on (hopefully), all Search Engine in existence or in the making will have to follow the same standard, as long as the three major SEs are using it. Basically, I believe this will be a good thing for Webmasters, Web surfers, AND SEs as well... a win-win-win situation all around. Still, I suppose we're going to have to wait and see where this is headed. After all, this kind of collaboration between major Web enterprises is common news these days, and more often than not it results in major anticipation followed by a cataclysmic let-down. Let's just hope the tide turns for the better this time . Cheers. -
Joke: The Evolution Of Programmers
iGuest replied to miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG's topic in General Discussion
LOOL... I read the "different phases of programming" joke a couple of times before but, I'm telling ya, it never gets old . The "evolution" joke is also nice, but I guess the one who drew it didn't have enough time. Otherwise, it could've included more evolutionary stages that would be funny as Hell . Thanks, m^e. Cheers. -
The results from the query are going to be Boolean 'true' or boolean 'false', so it will never be 'null', which is "no value". A NULL is different than boolean false, zero or a blank space, too.

Where is the value for the $item_1_qty coming from? if it is coming from a form, it may be cast as a string and the php.net site lists a series of examples which you might be interested in reviewing. http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.intval.php

is_integer() is an alias for is_int(). Maybe try is_int() or is_numeric after casting the variable as an integer in the comparison?

Windows Live Search The future of MSN Search
iGuest replied to FirefoxRocks's topic in Search Engines
A while ago, it was announced that MSN was going to implement Neural Networking technology into their search engine. I had hoped then that Microsoft would finally take the initiative to use cutting-edge technology to come up with something new, for a change. So far, I haven't read anything about Live even considering neural networking. I'm starting to think that it was pure propaganda to lure people back to MSN Search. But I suppose that's irrelevant for the purposes of this topic I've given Live Search a couple of tries, and my experience with it isn't that different from everyone else's. It doesn't provide a wide range of search results, which seems to be caused by infrequent and/or inefficient crawling. And the few results they provide are not all that great, really. So, until something changes, I'm going to have to stick to Google, despite all the dubious actions they've been doing for a while. -
I chose other because I don't think that a clean interface and a feature-rich interface have to be mutually exclusive . I mean, with a bit of creativity and a good measure of work, you can have an interface that has both a clean, sleek look and a rich set of features. Of course, when I say feature-rich, I'm not necessarily talking about whirling Shockwave applets or elaborate JavaScript widgets. I'm rather talking about an easy-to-use navigation structure, a well thought-out color scheme, an efficient page layout, and things of the sort. Basically, I'm talking about user-oriented features .

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like this is possible My first impulse when I read your question was "of course, it's possible!" But since I work mostly as a single user on my computer, I thought I should give it a shot first. I created another user account, with its own password and everything (just in case), and changed the screen resolution of that account. When I logged back into my own account, I found that it had changed its resolution to that of the other account. So, as far as I can see, you can't customize individual screen resolutions in Windows XP. Which I find really weird, since it lets you customize basically everything else

Data Passing - Re An Assignment For School - Please Help :)
iGuest replied to ginginca's topic in Programming
if (isset($_POST($hidden_field)) {--- do this code block --- check for info accuracy, do math, etc} else {--- do this code block --- form submission instructions here}--- display form here ---<form blah, blah action="post"><input elements here><hidden input field name = "submitted" value="yes"></form>Since it is a school assignment, I won't give you any more than this, but it should be sufficient to kick you off. This is called a "redux" method, by the way. Single page that presents the form, accepts the data, does its error-checking, processes it and then presents the form again, with sticky data if some fields are missing or wrong, for correction and re-submit. Good Luck.. -

Phpadmin would work, yes.Export the database structure and content from the source and then Import it into the Target at the new location. You might also consider that the structure and data could be Exported / Imported seperately. That would let you define the databases first before adding the data.I might suggest you do a test run, set up the database and site at the new location before you actually delete anything at the original location. *stuff happens* :DIf you need any further direction, post back here and somone will assist you.

What version of phpbb? 2.2.21 is the latest version (I think).phpbb3 is in Beta2 right now, so problem might be solved in the new release? I think the changes you want to make are in the Admin Control Panel of phpbb2 > Board Settings.Force email registration and make them validate is a good idea, yes. Might even make the Forum fully private in the settings.Check your .htaccess and place a robots file on your account, too. Any 'decent', or respectable, bot will check that file before accessing the account files, so if you still have problems, set the Forum folder to deny the problem robots in the robots.txt file, maybe. Look throught the detailed Log Report to find the entries. There should be a record of the Bots accessing the robots.txt file each time they visit. Allow the good ones, deny the others.Also, I believe if you have Admin privleges for your User, the IP numbers are available, too. There is a small gif with "IP" on it. Top right hand side of the Posting. Click on that to view a report of all the IP's the Member has posted from.

Pretty sad to see shothost go like this, but it's probably for the better. I use to do a lot of word of mouth for shothost to NZ clients, but had a falling out with Will, due to his false marketting of word of mouth. I don't mind word of mouth marketting, but being the owner and pretending to be a customer of your servers just to promote it is not something I would like to be associated with as it reflects the owner and the people who promote it, in my case, it was spam so I dropped promoting him to NZ clients.If Xisto can match the NZ pricing plans or at least keep it reasonable, I would be happy to promote NZ clients to them, the problem however was that Will is in NZ, and telephone support for NZ was the key factor.Cheers,MC

Chesso, The DTD is an integral part of the page and it would be best if it was included in all pages, especially beginner's pages, since an absence of the DTD causes Browsers to go in to Quirks Mode. Quirks Mode is not good if you are attempting to get your page to behave the same in all Browsers. Each Browser interprets thing differently using Quirks Mode, you see, so forcing the Browser into Standards Compliance Mode is critical. It is diffucult enough to obtain Cross Browser compatability with a DTD, and more difficult without one.
