There is a rumor in the internet community that pay per click programs ( like Google Adsense) may not survive in future primarily because of the following two reasons: 1. Misuse of such programs by the webmasters. 2. Gradually increasing bidding rates due to increased competition. However, Yahoo has also joined the race and has launched a program like Google Adsense . You can check it here:Yahoo! Publisher Network I have seen a website displaying Yahoo ads ( âads by Yahooâ). The program, launched by Yahoo! for the publishers, is in its BETA form. But you can still apply for it. Now if the future of the pay per click program is that much dark, then why does Yahoo! Join the race! What do you think about it? Regards, SID

VNC uses much more memory, CPU and traffic, though it is less secure. Talking about SSH, I recommend OpenSSH, there are ports on many systems, including Windows, both server and client, and sources. It is developed by the guys from OpenBSD team, so it's as reliable, as OpenBSD itself. By the way, it's default server for most linux distributives.

NEVER try to figure out such problems out by chmodding system files.xboxrulz, sorry, but you really shouldn't advice something untill you really know what you are saying .As mastercomputers said, that first two files really don't exist in CentOS, neither do all the rest. The problem with the message "Permission denied" is that df returns the same exit code to php, no matter file exist or permission is denied. You should either use php version adopted for CentOS, or write it yourself , or rewrite your script not using buggy functions. You can also try to point df's output (including stderr) to /dev/null, but I don't know wether it will work. Anyway, it's harmless, not like chmodding sysfiles

Ohhh, God! If you pretend to be unix user, you have to know what you are doing! Does anyone here know that FTP doesn't use TCP port 20 or 21 - it uses BOTH! One for command mode, another for datamode respectively. Look, your client opens TCP connection to port 20 of the server from a randomly chosen port, for example, 65535. Then it sends FTP command USER and PASS to authorize. You can send FEAT to see all features supported by server, and HELP for commands. Than, for example, you want to retrieve a file. You send RETR "filename". Server opens TCP connection to port 65535 from port 21. It sends data, then closes the connection. If there is a firewall on server, it should have port 20 opened for incoming and port 21 for outgoing traffic. If there is a firewall on client, it should have destination port 20 opened. And accept connections from port 21, of course. In passive mode, which is entered in by using PASV command, server doesn't open data itself, it waits for an income connection. In that case, firewall on the client side may have port 21 destination blocked. But then port 21 should be opened for ingiong connections on server. That's about ports, now about data transfer modes. There two: binary and ascii. Most modern servers and clients use binary, as it transfers all 8 bits from a byte. ASCII mode is saved for some older ones. Historically, it was used for transferring directory listings, as only 7 bits where send in this case. vsftpd, as many other modern secure ftp servers don't allow ascii connections for transferring anything else then LIST, although it is not recommended now to use it for any perpose at all! Guys, you really should contact documentation before asking such questions... And you definately should read this: RFC 959 and RFC 1579.

I did.I experienced this problem on Fedora Core 4 and SuSE 10. Don't know, what's so special about them I wrote to the developers of both distributives, but none could answer me, where was the problem. The only way out we found was to reinstall it again and again, until it goes clear.Sorry man, you just have to do it By the way, they told me that this problem occurs only on WMware, where I tried to install it. But, as I see, they where wrong Worse for them.Talking about SuSE 10, although I like it as an desktop system, I totally don't recommend you to use it as gateway, because thier new firewall is completely creazy! I spend a week reading mans and trying to configure it properly, and only then it worked. I find ipchains, iptables or, even more, pf from OpenBSD, much more suitable. By the choice is up to you.It isn't a big problem to configure it using GUI, but it is less powerfull, and besides I always prefer textmode, so...

NFS is quite easy, if it wasn't it wan't have been used for so much time by so much people, would it By default (read: if you haven't recompiled you kernel) OpenBSD, starting from version 1.3 uses NFSv4, wich differs from v3 by using TCP as transport. Skeletor configuration NFS configuration file is /etc/exports. There are many options that you can use in your /etc/exports file, and it is best that you read the exports(5) man page. Assuming the network is 10.0.0.0, we have an /etc/exports that looks like this: # NFS exports Database# See exports(5) for more information. Be very careful, misconfiguration# of this file can result in your filesystems being readable by the world./mda -alldirs -ro -network=10.0.0 -mask=255.255.255.0 This means that the local filesystem /mda will be made available via NFS. -alldirs specifies that clients will be able to mount at any point under the /mda mount point. -ro specifies that it will only be allowed to be mounted read-only. The last two arguments specify that only clients within the 10.0.0.0 network using a netmask of 255.255.255.0 will be authorized to mount this filesystem. This is important for some servers that are accessible by different networks. portmap(8) must be running for NFS to operate. Portmap is off by default on OpenBSD 3.2 and later, so you must add the line portmap=YES to rc.conf.local(8) and reboot. Next, you should add the line nfs_server=YES to /etc/rc.conf.local. This will bring up both nfsd(8) and mountd(8) when you reboot. Beastman configuration You should add this code to your /etc/fstab 10.0.0.1:/mda /mnt nfs ro 0 0 or, if dns or /etc/hosts are configured properly, skeletor:/mda /mnt nfs ro 0 0 I hope, you as an experienced user, know what to do with it? Such things as mounting it all without reboot should be common to you - just start the server manually with /sbin/nfsd -tun 4echo -n >/var/db/mountdtab/sbin/mountd And mount with mount -o ro -t nfs skeletor:/mda /mnt To restart the server, run kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid` Run this to see stats rpcinfo -p 10.0.0.1 More details at OpenBSD FAQ - NFS. Feel free to ask me more questions about UNIX, aspecially OpenBSD, I'm a kernel developer of that, and I am very proud of it, that's why I say it on every corner.

I have gotta problem, can anyone help me solving it, the pages of my site cannot b indexed by Google, beacause of current webhost (Tripod), can anyone help me get a free auto-site submitting software, that bombards the search engine with my URL, I also tried AutoAdd, can anyone suggest something else.

Hello. About editor. Try using ee - easy editor. It's really easy-to-use and is installed in any standart configuration of FreeBSD. I myself like vim, you can install it in the end of setup process, as an additional package. All other useful software can be installed on that stage, like perl, php, emacs, apache, bc, gcc, bash and other, to wich linux users are used to. Simply the installation process as divided into installation of main system and additional packages. It seems more convinient for me, but you may not agree. Later on you can install those packages using pkg_add at any time. Talking about the docs, in process of learning FreeBSD for an advanced UNIX user I find most helpful FreeBSD Handbook. It will simply show you how is this or that thing done in FreeBSD. Generally, I find *BSD systems, aspecially OpenBSD better documentated that linux. Linux is quickly-developed system, so there are a lot of undocumented, or bad documented features. That isn't so in *BSD. Once you have mastered FreeBSD, it will be much easier for you to migrate on OpenBSD, wich I count as the best UNIX like operating system I've ever used, and I've used lots of them: starting from original MULTICS, AT&T UNIX, BSD, Solaris, HPUX to different linux & *BSD, like OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD, BSDi, theSDB, myBSD and so on. OpenBSD team considers security, clear strinct code and documentation most essential. When a bug is found in a code wich was inherited by all UNIX-like systems, starting from SYSV, you can be almost sure that openbsd team has removed it from it's code years ago. As they say: "Only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 8 years!", and it is true. I have been working on development of such OS's like SuSE Linux and Free/NetBSD (a lot of code is used in both of them), then I've started coding for OpenBSD project. I can say that I like the stuff very much - this are people, who work for idea, not for money, as other developers (yes, linux & freebsd too). Also, talking about the documentation, a mistake in it is treated as a big hole and is removed within 12 hours after it was found. There are a lot of guides, specialized on almost every potic you can be interested in. But, I must warn you - it's only for experiensed users, most likely programmers and/or system administrators. If you ask a question, you have to know where to ask it - by all means, not in the kernel developers mailing list, if you are asking about installation process! Developers aren't interested in finding new users, they know, for whom they are doing all that - for thamselves! But they will always help you. If you want a powerfull, secure by default system - then OpenBSD is your choice. FreeBSD is a bit easier to use, but not so much, that it would cost all OpenBSD security. Listen, guys, don't think am offtoping, I just want you not to waste the time and try the thing that is really better.

-------------------------- This topic is one that can be debated on. Some webmasters say that it is not advisable to use WYSIWYG Editors as a beginner. They may have many reasons to do so . I find myself under the latter category. I feel that knowing a programming language like H.T.M.L. (Hyper Text Markup Language) is not required to make a website of any caliber. I myself started designing my first website on a WYSIWYG Editor .In this you can design your page like you are drawing on paper and it will automatically get decoded into H.T.M.L, you can then sit and study the coding and analyse asto what work each code does. The WYSIWYG Editors that I would recomend are Microsoft Frontpage and Macromedia Dreamweaver. These software in colaboraton with other softwares like Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Fireworks and even Microsoft Paint can be used to design ultimate webpages. After creating this basic part of a webpage extra-ordinary effects can be added by using programming languages like Javascripts, PHP, ASP, CSS and many more...The same way like HTML need not be learnt to make websites so are Javascripts and the other above mentioned languages. Ready made scripts of these languages are available for free in many websites like : http://www.javascriptkit.com/ http://www.thefreesite.com/ and many more search results can be found on Google. At thefreesite.com any begginer will get all the features that are required for his/her website.Also : additional features like guest book, site search, and member's area are also available on various websites like http://www.bravenet.com/ and the like. Now let me tell you the importance of know all the above mentioned programming languages . Firstly, it increases your knowledge on programming . Secondly, it lets you be independent : you need not depend on other sites for various features. Thirdly, it lets your site be free from the forced adds that are put by the websites who privide you with this feature. And even if they put adds for other features you can remove it by HTML commands. Forthly, it lets you to design it according to your means and fancies instead of choosing from one of their pre-designed templates. The disadvantage is that you spend more time learning instead of designing your website. I have explained to you the advantages and disadvantages of knowing programming languages. For more queries on this issue you can e-mail me at rohanramanath@gmail.com. For your information, I am the Dean of Solutions4u and am presently re-designing my site. Rohan Ramanath ---------------------------------- Firstly my friend I would like to tell u that HTML is NOT a programming language as you have mentioned, nor is CSS, practicaly I would suggest using WYSIWYG editors before doing anything else, it gives you more experience. And totally depending on your programming skills is not going to lead you to any where, first thing is that, i don think so that no-one is mad enough to program a set of dum things, where you can get them for free at a cost of few clicks, but you have gotta point just ignoring the point of programing is also not going to lead u anywhere. What I would like to tell you is that, use a WYSIWYG editor, know programming and u'r site will rock

Aaaaaa...thank you sir for your advice I actually went-up, downloaded it and bought it. Thanks a lot anyway

I don’t like these kinds of sites, Goooooooooogle them selves keep suggesting on using those wide banners, but the point is that you are suppose to deliver the actual content to your visitor and not the ads, now-a-days ads are actually becoming the contents, check out any webmaster freebie or webmaster resource site and I give a 100% Guarantee that these site surely will have at least 1 pop-up ad, a big large ad at the top of the page (where generally the site's name should be there). I know that these site are providing the content to us for free but not at the stake for putting up ads at odd places. Refer to any gamming site, or any site that offers free PC/PS cheats, you will find the content at the bottom of their page, and you will nearly have to go through lines and lines of ads.I had signed up for Adsense nearly a year back, from then I have been seeing sites that will help me on optimizing my ads and hence improving my chance of getting more revenue from my site. All most all of the Adsense ad optimization sites keep referring to the same point i.e. have large banners exactly at the top or at the middle of your page, but no one realizes the fact that its not the positioning of the ad which is the main factor, getting a lot of traffic is the main factor and not just plain traffic will do the job, you need target traffic, traffic that wants your content, not just roaming traffic (they wont even give a look at your content). The second factor is that how well your ads get blended into your page's template. You should actually make it look as if it is your content (this feature is provided Adsense namely, Adsense for content). So I actually gave you the actual Adsense optimization tips, see here actually speaking I am not a professional or something like that, I am a Google Adsense Publisher, I would recommend you this site (not mine, or anyway related to me) which actually focuses on the traffic and much more forgotten factors about Adsense, which this site reminds us about. (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/)Have a money making day!

Hi guys and gals, I started this new topic to tell you people that all those online optimizing softwares are a bunch of spywares, I have benn using this software/utility for quite some time (2 years till now) and this software has proved me that its the best available at the market. Let me spoil the secret before you even read the article! I use a software named...Yamicsoft WinXP Manager. Its a all-in-one utility to tweak, optimize, tweak, tune up and clean up your Windows XP, it bundles more than 28 different utilities in one and help your system faster and more stable, secure and personal! It will increase you system speed, improve system security and suit your idea! Be compatible with Windows XP SP2 entirely (OS= Microsoft Windows XP only)! I have jotted down some of the useful points about WinXP Manager, here they are. Notice from miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG: When you copy content DIRECTLY from another site, make sure you put the copied part between QUOTE tags. Since you're new to this board, this is just a verbal warning for you. Failure to do so in future will result in a warning for every such act. 5 consecutive warnings lead to a permanent ban.

Guys or gals, could anyone of you please help me download a very good but free anti-virus with anti-spyware and firewall. But there is catch all should be in one unit (i.e. should be one package). Please help me as I am running my computer which is connected to the internet without any kind of defense. I tried panda, but the problem is that it makes my computer's boot speed very slow, and that is the last thing I can compromise.

I've tried to go to myshost.com and sign up. Because I live in the UK, i don't have a zip code so i tried to put in my postal code , but it said you have to have a zip code . Whats the use in having Great Britain on the Countries menu?

Be sure to check your junk filtering levels with gmail, and if possible allow those email addresses.I already investigated this problem and had no problems auto-forwarding emails from my main email address to another, though I did not use a gmail account, it could also be a SPAM issue depending on how strong gmail filters are.We'll still look into this, but can you confirm it's not a filter issue?Also the catch-all is for emails that don't match, e.g. if they send an email to support@yoursubdomain.com and you don't have a support email, it gets caught by whatever email address you set it up, best to set it up as an email address on your server, then use that email address to forward by adding it as a forwarder. e.g. mainemail@yoursubdomain.com > yourgmail@gmail.comCheers,MC

So far there isn't a patch and the tests have been conducted on a fully uptodate Windows XP Machine running IE6 and confirmation on IE7 Beta 2 also suffering. Here's the link, test your browser and see if you're vulnerable. http://secunia.com/advisories/19521/ Be sure that you get notified of the update for this or just continue keep checking for Windows updates. I don't run IE6, so cannot confirm it but others have said it does exploit them. Cheers, MC

To be honest I'm not sure if it's enabled. I just did a function_exists('fsockopen') on it and it returns true. It may or may not work, would have to ask OpaQue about this.Cheers,MC

The reason they are not translated into other languages is because English has been the accepted language globally and that those programming languages originated from America and used their spelling, however I don't know that this is the main reason, as there may have been languages that originated elsewhere and could have been converted/changed to make use of the American way. I don't see any reason why someone from another country could not write a programming language in their own language, it'd be popular with their country that's for sure.What would be interesting is knowing what countries use en-US and what ones use en-GB. Another thing that would be interesting is what English is taught to people who don't speak English, is it American or en-GB.I think depending on where you are, you're taught that way (e.g. if you're in NZ and learning English you would be taught en-GB) but say you're in China and are learning English, which one do they teach you or do they teach both?If they teach both, then there should be no problem for someone to understand color: gray; and colour: grey; American's still have greyhound, which does not make sense because it would be grayhound to them. Though being a name, I guess it has to be that way.I'm positive all this would have been discussed before, and they may have come to some conclusion that actually said why it's better to leave it this way.I'm just wondering how possible it would be for having both ways come out the same, to me, this isn't hard at all if you do it from the compiler/interpretter. Sounds like the chance to have an automated translator, e.g. an american sends me gray in a chat and on my end I get grey, if I respond back with grey the american gets gray.Well, these are just ideas, and was just trying to get some ground on what would be best to do, especially the document side of things, as I want the easiest way for it to be translated correctly by others, than to make it hard for them to not know that there is no difference between colour and color but which one they understand better.Cheers,MC

How does it make perfect sense (I'm hoping you're being sarcastic since it's hard to tell on the internet), it uses two negatives in the context in which this confuses many english speakers? If it said "I learnt nothing", instead of "I did not learnt nothing", it would make sense to me, but then again I do fall under a confused english speaker. Cheers, MC

OK, well, while you were away I created this: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (you may also notice in the parent directory bbcode I'm also working on a book/article type means, it's basically quickly done, with inline styling, but I will seperate everything and make it easier to make changes). and if you view the source, I have the seperation of CSS/Javascript and the HTML in quite a basic/simple look. I didn't use your background-image (I prefer png instead of jpg too, unless it's a photo) or rounded corners and kept it quite box shape looking. I'm sure anyone if they wanted to, could jazz this up more, all I ask though is keep it W3C valid, it's what I aim for in all my web work. Cheers, MC

I'd not look to Microsoft as a big brand, if you were to be given a product from Microsoft for free or say Ferrari for free, which one would you pick? Won't be because of the brand, but because of what product it is right? The products are their strong points, the brand is intangible and based on goodwill. I don't know how they rank these kinds of things, there's too many things conflicting that aren't actually involving brand itself. Cheers, MC

Hey jedipi, I've never had this problem, mainly because I'm usually always connected to the internet, but just querying the location of your /mnt/DVD did you create that, because most removable drive now end up in /media/ Also, I noticed you're mounting the .iso, would be possible, to make the DVD itself. However you do not have to rely on yum for removal and can usually get by using: su -c "rpm -e packagename" Also what about just adding that entry into your yum repo directory, or yum.conf and don't enable it unless you want to remove, and you can disable all the others, I haven't tested this out though, and don't think I would to be honest. Another tip though, if you want to install a package locally, YUM won't install if there's no GPG matching key, but to do that, just turn off gpgcheck in yum.conf and localinstalls will work fine. Otherwise using the rpm -ivh packagename can install it too. e.g. su -c "yum -y localinstall /home/user/packagename.rpm"orsu -c "rpm -ivh /home/user/packagename.rpm" Cheers, MC

Make it look like this and you've solved the 1 click misread, when actually it works as intended if you say it like this: At present this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display = NULL, we never set a style and we can't read user/browser defaults. So (shortening the code) display = (test if display == 'block' it returns NULL) ? if true display = 'none' : Well it was false/NULL or at least != to 'block' so display = 'block'; We've now set a value, display now equals block, so the second click results in true and then display = none; Understandable? I hope so, I didn't want to go too much into this. <div class="notice"> <div class="header" onClick="java script:this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display = (this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display == 'block') ? 'none' : 'block';"> <div class="middlebar">Notice from {option}: </div> </div> <div class="messagebody" style="display:block;">{content}</div></div> I have updated here, you can do antilost . I also want to help clean the CSS, though are rounded corners neccessary, looks good but unless W3C supported it's not really things I would go out of. What I'm proposing to do is clean up the HTML and CSS, eliminate the over use of div blocks if possible and use more semantic like means of displaying it. Also requires renaming the class names, due to reason that they could conflict especially using "header" which is too common. Cheers, MC

Just noting M^E, that the first click on the title of the note is not registering correctly. After that it works as it should.If you want me to fix it I can, I just didn't update the note at antilost because of the time and did not want to go through the CSS to fix it, but if you want me to I can.One thing for certain is I want to remove all id's from your note, as you can only use the named id once only in any document and cannot have ids that are the same which means multiple notes will conflict, that was probably why you thought of creating random generated id names, which in theory would work too, but more coding involved and harder to fix the CSS to reference it's styling. So I'm just saying use class as the alternative to style everything about it. No need to give it a name, if needs be comment above it and below it that states it's a notice for easier reading from source, but IPB HTML source is too messy for me to even bother looking through it.Cheers,MC

For Business Interest, sigh... There's no competition anymore, just monopolies. I think I'll mortgage my property and look for free parking.Cheers,MC
