The current situation is irreversible. And whatever we do now is never going to reverse what we have already caused/ done to the environment. The best thing to currently work upon is to gear us for action items which will not make us wonder why we have done this 10 years down the line... So its better that every individual take up the responsibility of working on this. Say for example reduce a persons carbon footprint (What is carbon footprint? -- A carbon footprint is the total set of Green House GAS (GHG) emissions caused directly and indirectly by a person, an organization, event or product (This definition is an extract from the UK Carbon Trust 2008). The GHG emissions for an individual, nation or organization's carbon footprint is measured by undertaking a GHG emission test. Once the footprint of a carbon is known, a community wide strategy can be devised to reduce it or take action items to completely avoid it). Its not as easy as it seems like... We might have to change our lifestyle altogether to reduce your footprint and in turn the warming on a long run.... Again... people are so hasty about getting results. They stick to rules for an year and expect some result which will not happen. This will be long term. Its like spoiling the environment for over a period of 50-60 years and asking it ti repair in few years... and the worst part without having effort on that front... Calculate your carbon footprint here -- http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ How to reduce your carbon footprint? -- http://www.howcast.com/guides/828-How-to-Understand-Sex/ And if you want to know what are the different GHG (Green house gases...) below are a few... * water vapor * carbon dioxide * methane * nitrous oxide * ozone * CFCs The above are the major ones.

In order to get the latest and best HTML tutorials, you have to use the one from w3schools. I see many people have already posted the link, so I do not want to post it here. I started learning it from w3schools only and I know the depth of knowledge they provide and am sure, they still maintain the standard. I would also like to suggest that the best way to learn any language is to start working on it... So, come up with your own requirement for developing a website and start working on it. You can refer to materials as and when you get doubts and get clarified. This way you will also have something to show at the end of your learning.... I know. The learning never ends...

Have you tried fring? Fring is one of the best mobile based messenger solutions available. It supports almost many mobile phones... Java based, Symbian based and even the iPhone. Apart from the support it provides for multiples platforms, it is also rich in feature. Features: 1. Sign into multiple accounts at the same time 2. Support for gtalk, skype, yahoo chat etc. 3. Centralized settings - This may depend on the platform. 4. Easy to use 5. Intuitive and features gets added now and then. 6. Very stable

Its not just another instant messenger. What if you have a Gmail ID, Aim, Yahoo and have migrated to these service at different times and want to keep in touch with all your contacts? Instead of installing separate softwares for each one of them,... gtalk for gmail, Yahoo messenger for Yahoo etc. You can use Pidgin, using which you can sign in to all the services at one shot.... Apart from that it also has a lot of other features which is not present in any of the other clients. And another feature which is not yet implemented in any of the client is the plugins feature... Like in firefox, you can add addons to your pidgin client to add additional features, which you would like to see.

A friend of mine recently sent a Message by George Carlin. George Carlin (May 12, 1937 June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian. He was also an actor and author, and won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums. Read more about George Carlin here -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Carlin Below are some of his thoughts... AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Check out this link... http://www.koreus.com/video/telephone-portis-popcorn.html I have not tried this out personally. All I need is some corn and some friends with phones... See if you can achieve this by trying.

This is not genuine. They either cheat you by promising money or mislead you and make you click some ads in their site which will get them money from add providers/ agencies. Better stay away from such sites. These are the sites that are also rich with spyware, malware etc which will try and steal personal information from your system. Remember this always... There is nothing like easy money.

Ok. Some interesting news after some time. One of my friends recently passed a link that had information about the peace deal signed between the Pakistan government and the Taliban forces. I was a bit shocked initially and thought this is not possible. But after going through some of the links from reliable new reporting sites, I had no choice. It has indeed happened. I also believe that without even a small trigger, there could not be so much fuzz. So something has indeed happened... The Taliban forces in Pakistan's Swat valley has received Rs 480 million ($6 million) in compensation(for the losses they have suffered from the Pakistan forces attacks) from the government after agreeing to a ceasefire with security forces for an indefinite period. Reports also suggest that this deal was in the pipeline for quite some time... This news was first reported by Italian press and slowly the news has spread to every corner. Hmmm... More information in the below link: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ What do you think?

I am not very sure if i am going to give the right answer to you.. because your question is not very specific. You have not specified if you want to buy original books online, or ebooks which you can download and read it in your computer... If it is the second case... I have a solution for you. You should visit chmpdf.com. This is one of the best sites which will provide you with millions and millions of ebooks on almost all subject starting from literature, technology, philosophy etc etc. for free. All you need to do is to create an account and start downloading the books you wanted. I have been using it for quite some time now and I am sure, this is one of the few best sites that provide such service. There is a small limitation though. Free members can download only 3-4 free books per day, which according to me is much better than not having any other site that does this. If you want, you can pay a nominal amount and become a pro member where you get unlimited downloads.

What Are The Best Books For Learning Php Please suggest a book
varalu replied to adenrake's topic in Programming
From what I have seen no book explains the complete development or fully functional website. All books do is to give you a basic understanding to get you started in whatever you want to do. Books helps in understanding the framework or the underlying architecture. The only best way to learn or develop a fully functional website or portal is to start working on it by exploring. Exploring is the first part, where you decide what has to be done, how has to be done, the different technologies that has to be used, how they gets linked, decide on scalability issues, decide on the backend or the client server architecture etc. Once this is done, you have basically crossed a big hurdle. The next step is to plan as to what exactly has to be done and how. Prioritize the list of tasks that has to be completed... Learning curve will be very steep in this case. It will also be valuable. This is the way to go about... and i doubt if you will find a book that will explain all the intricacies of developing a fully functional site. Hope this helps. -
The best thing to do is to raise a support ticket. The folks there are highly responsive and can expect some quick and apt responses.The problem can occur for multiple reasons, so its better to ask them rather than in the forum.

Thanks for the link. Have bookmarked it and will check this when I am into building a new website. Also, If you are looking for more web templates, check out the below link.... http://www.oswd.org/ All the web-templates are free here and are very good. i have used them for some of my websites and have also recommended to many of my friends. Its like a virus and many of my friends are using it now and are like very satisfied. They have templates for every business you know and can be catered to your business with very less change. All the templates follow w3c standards and are of high quality when it comes to documentation and standards. If you have already used them...let me know if you like them. I am also in the process of creating some templates and contributing and would like to get some feedback from users and create templates accordingly. Thanks in advance. -
Ok.. I got the solution for this and is the best solution. It has something to do with the metadata. All the details about the views are stored in a metadata table called all_views. When I talk about all the details, it also means that details about the query that constructed about the view too. All I had to do is to write the below query to get the underlying query. Simple. select TEXT from all_views where VIEW_NAME='VIEW_NAME'; You might have to replace the VIEW_NAME in single quotes with the actual view name. There is also this thing of privileges. You might need privileges to access the metadata. Hope this helps. Thanks to Karthikeyan who helped me in this. Check out the comments section of the post.

I don't know how many more acts of terrorism it will take for our generation to wake up and realize that we are lucky to be sitting here in office right now. The things we used to take for granted are no more safe. Travelling in a bus or in a train, going out for a coffee, going for a vacation with our family. I am not saying that we should stop doing these things.We need to start exercising our right to vote. If our governments have failed to protect us and prevent these tragedies, then it is our right to go out and cast our vote against such politicians. It doesn't matter which political party is in office. But it does matter what the next government will do. We have to start caring. It is our indifference towards the political system in India that lets governments get away with not doing anything. It's time to give them their appraisal results. Here's what you can do the least:1) Keep your eyes and ears open, report any suspicious movement.2) Verify credentials thoroughly before renting out your house.3) Most importantly- Dont crowd to watch tamasha...do stay back only if you can help the victims. Like air being indispensable in everyone's life, facing terrorism is also becoming indispensable. According to me the solution lies in the hand of the politicians. Though we caste our vote, if all politicians are not good enough to solve a problem it becomes useless.People who enter into politics should be smart and intellectual enough to solve problems. they should be in a position to forecast things. Only then they can be a leader(have the right to be a leader). If this happens, we can find a solution for all hurdles. At the end of it... It comes to this.Our government is only a reflection of us.IndifferentSelfishCorruptIf we change, then only the government can change. Elections are all about vote bank politics. If people like us start voting, they have to choose appropriate candidates who can get our votes. How long can parties keep choosing criminals, corrupt people or fanatics to win their seats.

All,If someone is working in oracle... and have some time to explore... try this and help me finish my job .Is it possible to get the underlying query for a view? If yes... how?Considerations:- Normal user -- Just select privileges on the view...- No external app. to access the DB. Just the basic editor.Thanks.In some cases where there is an UI... like in MS SQl, there should be an option to get the underlying query just by right clicking and selecting an option of the view. But in this case... I need the solution to get the underlying view via a query.I am sure there should be such an option... I have seen people modify the view, which is not possible if they do not have the query itself itself in the first place...

Does this mean I do not have to worry about the hosting credits that I see during my sign in? All I need to do is to have enough dollars in my account to pay my monthly bills...? I will have enough time to create more dollars in my account before I will be billed the next time for the hosting... In fact this is awesome and very good. If someone thinks that I have got something completely wrong... correct me. Thanks in advance.

These days flash drives are getting more and more sophisticated that it can hold an OS and so many things can be done. Its only right that these are considered as a threat and measures are being taken... Not to forget about the limitation of these drives these days... Like they are getting smaller and smaller and growing in size.... Sure they can hold so much of sensitive data. In fact its a threat in many areas and measures are being considered to prevent this.
