$9.99?! I could purchase a top level domain for less than that. Im afraid thats a ripoff. And then you have to keep your account active on top of it.

Just because there will never be a world wide epidemic, it can still spread. Thats why Marburg, is called what is. There was an small break out in Marburg Germany.

Search Dogs In A Beehive Bees tracking down explosivesdrugs
iGuest replied to Qop's topic in Science and Technology
Scientifically, this sounds like an April Fools joke, where's the source?There's too much evidence going against bees that they are acceptable for this type of work.I don't feel like commenting more on this. -
Not realy. The asm code produced by any c++ compiler is realy bad compared with true ASM. Its usualy just a bunch of calls and machine lanuage, but not very efficient or fast. You have more control with direct ASM. Its better to simply have '#include' files to make asm easier.

Ok, thanks alot! You've been realy helpful. I'll definitely PM that administrator about the e-mail. *note* I was worried for a moment. I know understand why you don't approve of mass direct quoting. Im not use to a system where you get more points for a longer posts. Anyways, thanks for the quick response.

Hmm, how do they make money and is their a site I can goto in order to do this? I sounds like an intersting option...

Ok, I got suspended for "quoting an article word for word". Sorry, was not aware that you weren't allowed to do that. I spent time searching for the most suitable web article and posted it. I think most people in this forum posses the ability to reword an article. Personally, I find it a waste of time and my intellectual properties, but I guess I may need to reform that mindset. In my oppinon, the article deserved a more professional definition then what I could offer. I wonder if I used quotes that would make a difference. Also, I have seen other posts that were "quoted word for word", approximately makeing up 90-95% of the article.Anyways, the e-mail sent to me said that my web hosting account has been suspended. I don't have a webhosting accounting yet, so does this even effect me? If so, how long will it be till im unsuspended??

Yeah, I've read it. Its an extrordinary book! I read it for 10th grade english, but I've heard its become a required read for 1st year medical students. It is a bit stomach wrenching though...

This CMS sounds very interesting...I don't care about having serperate forums, because I already have a seperate forum and I realy don't want(can't) move it.

I've heard Php nuke platnium has alot of security issues in comparison to the regular phpnuke. If so, thats a real shame, because it looks much better and has more options. Is there anyone here at Xisto using it?
-
Im curious as to what people think about them. As far as a url, I think they're awesome! In general, they're pretty good too, but they can be a little slow and then there's that opening popup that I've heard crashes Internet explorer on some macs. Anyways here is the link.
-
Yeah, It accesses ALL websites ..The Treo that is. The Treo 650 is better...umm I don't know if Sidekick 2 does email...you'll have to look both up and compare.

Well I don't mean to offend you halo 2 people, but halo 1 owns it anyday. Halo 2 is ok...but it is way to easy to beat. Too many weapons, too many options, etc... It just doesn't require any skill or tactics. In halo 1, you really had to be good. It usualy took like 30 seconds to kill someone, whereas in halo 2 you're dead in 1 shot. Halo 1 Halo1 On a side note, I would like to tell people about Xbox connect. Its like Xboxlive, but its free and supports halo 1. Go there today! xboxconnect

Has anyone ever heard of this terrible virus. It is closely related to Marburg, but more deadly. Ebola Zaire(one of the 3 subspecies of Ebola) kills 9/10 of the people that are infected with it. Anyways, most of the outbreaks have occured in africa and they still occur today. In fact, they just had an out break a few days ago in Sudan, and 200 people were killed in 2 days...

With the free hosting at Xisto, are the accounts ad free, or is there a small google ad? I looked at a few Xisto sites and I saw some google ads on them, so I would assume so. Unless, people put them up on their site for more bandwith, or space...

smf= smart machines forumIts a realy good and stable forum, with lots of options. I like it better then phpBB.

Hey moonwitch, I not sure whether the book stated what you say or not, nor am I going to say they are right or wrong but the problem is $joke exists outside the function, it's not global either, but if the book suggests this as an example, then it's quite possible they work with global which was default on older PHP versions and that these variables have access from anywhere in the program. How I like using classes is creating functions to set the variables but in this case I'll leave that out and just explain the problems. First problem is the variable outside the object, outside the function as well. <?php class smilie { var $joke; function make_smile() { echo $this->joke; } } $funny = new smilie; $funny->joke = 'hahaha'; $funny->make_smile(); ?> That's how I would do this example (well keeping as close to the original code), everything is inside the Object, we create our new object, have access to the object variable $joke but we must call it through our Object not through it's variable name, I also use the $this variable, which is a variable used to store the current object that called it. If you wanted to do it your example way, that's also easy enough, but it needs a few adjustments. <?php $joke = 'woohoo'; class smilie { function make_smile($joke) { echo $joke; } } $funny = new smilie; $funny->make_smile($joke); ?> See we needed to pass the $joke contents with our function, so that it can reside inside, however the creation of function make_smile($joke), the $joke part of this is not the same as the $joke bit we set at the beginning, we could have said function make_smile($joke2) and tried printing $joke and it wouldn't work because $joke does not exist in that function, but if we printed $joke2 out it would work, the $joke we passed in our function becomes make_smile($joke2 = $joke); so now $joke2 holds the contents of what $joke has, but it still doesn't have access to our $joke variable. Cheers, MC p.s. Thought I'll add how I'll actually do this class <?php class smilie { var $joke; function addJoke($joke) { $this->joke = $joke; } function make_smile() { echo $this->joke; } } $funny = new smilie; $funny->addJoke('hahaha'); $funny->make_smile(); ?> moonwitch, you have to understand, that to use an object you can't use the object directly, you must give the object it's own storage, the object is just a set of instructions, it's not a variable you can call on. so when you do $bar = new foo; you are actually storing all the instructions for foo inside of bar, which is pretty much the whole object. single or double quotes, $bar = "new foo"; is actually a string of characters not what we were intending on doing, which is creating a new object inside our variable $bar; The last line pretty much uses your new object you created and calls the function do_foo(); Imagine this, but don't take it in, the class foo, foo->do_foo(); foo is the object, foo calling do_foo(); is our object calling the function, now we replaced foo (the object) with our variable $bar, so now $bar is now the new object replacing foo's position, just remember, foo is only a set of instructions for whatever variable wants to take it on, else it's just code that doesn't get used at all. We could write a lot of code within our program, that never gets used at all, but if we wanted to we could use it, because it exists. Classes are pretty much libraries of code we would create to do specific things, but we would actually distribute it as a library of functions, instead of actually writing it within our code, we would just include it. So if I had a class that created HTML pages, (this class does exist), I would include that class, create a new object to use this class and then work with that, all I would really need to know, is what functions exist and what to pass within those functions of this class to actually use it, I should not need to know what variables it creates, nor have to worry that the variables used in this class will conflict with my own program variables, since those variables are contained inside the class only. (well not worrying about the variables should be something, because usually we create functions to take care of initialising the variables, not actually doing it ourselves). e.g. We might have a function that sets the title of our page and it might be a function called setTitle($title) { $this->Title = $title; } and that's it, the function set our titlte for us just by us calling the function to do this $object->setTitle('My Title');, this is how our classes should be done.

WinXP does have those problems, some people don't get it.Now with classic games, it's still possible to get them working, so far I haven't came across a game I couldn't get working with it, however none of these methods uses XP's compatibility, in which case it's there as a pointless feature, in fact I've tried figuring out what it does, but it's completely useless. What I believe it does, is it detects old called APIs and just makes the call point to the new API, however, XP had this builtin to it natively, which renders this compatibility reassurance just another pointless hyped feature. Maybe it forces it, but if you try it on programs that rely on Win98 and higher OS only and change it to make it win95 compatible, it does nothing, even the programs don't detect the compatibility, because they would definitely complain if they knew they were running on Win95 if this were the case.Some of the older games had software protection that limited it's ability on the newer OS's, best chances of getting it working is making sure you run the CD from your first CDROM drive if you have multiple, it must be the first drive. It could also involve a few registry hacks, and as a last resort, emulated which I haven't had to do so far.MC

Well the /tmp/ directory is temporary, but stores your current session as well, removing it and then rebooting would mean your current session would not be stored, and would resort back to default because it never had a session to save, if you turn off save sessions, then this may solve this problem.For realplayer, it seems like you need to install the libraries for libstdc++, including the dynamic/shared objects.They are on FC3 cd and can also be downloaded.Tryrpm -q libstdc++ to see if it's installed, if not, use whatever update downloader you use, I prefer yum... su(do) yum -y install libstdc++ to install it.If problems persist, remove realplayer, rpm -e RealPlayer and use yum to install it.su(do) yum -y install RealPlayerUsing yum should install all dependacy for RealPlayer, well hopefully.With suggesting yum, I hope you know how to configure your yum repo files to point to repositories that contain the rpm files needed.Cheers,MC

Hmm...Im having trouble understanding exactly what the problem is.Secondly, thats awesome. I didn't think people were playing that game anymore. Notice from moonwitch: If you don't understand the problem, then don't reply, this is a useless reply, since you think the issue is about a game. The issue put forth here is fairly simple, the user tried to install a media player, and when installing got failed dependencies. Don't just reply that you don't know what it is, to just gain credits.

How active to we need to be in the forums. Is there a particular number of posts per week or month that we have to achieve?

Hey qwijibow, I must admit the above method seemed the easiest but it is possible to install from the CD. I had to do a few extra things, which involved me downloading xdialog and winetools and installing a few things using winetools. Without the files from winetools, Photoshop complained about the OS it was running on, even with modifying the wine config, I still couldn't get it to install from a standard Wine 20050211 installation, winetools however solves this problem (depends on xdialog) by allowing me to download and install some Windows components. I may trace through Setup.exe and figure out what files it was calling on and determining what was needed, there might be answers in the registry too that may help. Unless you use winetools to get the necessary files, then Photoshop wasn't willing to install but it does work. Also winetools seems like a good compliment for wine so it's probably worth getting. I also encountered a problem with Photoshop assuming I had a scanner attached to the computer, which I know I didn't, so it crashed the first time, but suceeded to go the second time, maybe find TWAIN drivers for wine if this is the case. Cheers, MC

Besides more space and bandwith, there is no difference beween the two hosts. 150 megs and 2gigs of bandwith are plenty for most people. Then again, if you're hosting flash movies and such I could see why you would want that. And those annoying google ads. Those realy bother me. *note* I hate google ads more than I-pods. But as long as you're happy, thats all that matters...Alright, I just checked into it further. $.25 cents a year for a subdomain, .$99 set up fee, $4.49 to upgrade to 500 megs of space. =not expensive, but not free. :PThere's no way im giving them my card number and apparently they're not accepting Paypal know.

Wow, that is amazing! Only two registered downtimes in Marchfor just a few minutes. My old host(Hiya-Host.com) was terrible. There was a downtime every day for a few hours...
