I actually like the new MSN messenger. I like the idea of the Favorites and I use that a lot. I also like the ability to show Display Pictures in the Contact List. I haven't tried the Photo IM yet, but I plan to soon. The way IMs are ordered and displayed is also a plus. It makes it show more IMs at once, which I like. The new interface is also nice.

Go look up tutorials on the Internet. I suggest looking at http://www.w3schools.com/ as a starting place. Also, PHPMyAdmin is for MySQL management, which is advanced for a beginner, learn the basics first. Also check out the documentation at http://php.net/ for in depth help on certain functions and what not.

Well, there are a few languages you can't...like C and C++. Thanks, I am going to look into that.

Ok, I have heard that you can use Visual Basic to create websites and I have found controls for the web inside of my VB 2005 Express Edition, and I am curious as to how I would use these and create applications for websites? I know there is ASP.NET, but how is VB.NET used on the web? I do know PHP is superior and I use PHP, this is just something I am curious about and wish to try out. Does anybody know where I can find information on this?

I just made this using a combination of Corel+my tablet and Photoshop CS2, I think it looks really good. This was actually an experiment with my tablet, which I got for Christmas. Well, rate it please.

Well, I was bored and decided to take a look at iTunes scripting within Visual Basic. I made a program that when iTunes is open, it goes through your library and lists all of your songs in a list box. If you click on a song in the list box, it will show various information on the right side of the window, and there are a few player controls. This is probably the most complex program I have ever made, and probably the most useful. To use, just unzip and run from the folder it is in. It needs the .dll in the folder, so don't delete that. Download link: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ EDIT: Ok, some of the features appear to only work on the latest iTunes, if you wish to use the program to the fullest, I suggest updating iTunes.

Portable Firefox takes up like 15 mb though, mine is just a few kb. And I totally forgot about this thread, I'll try to post a screenshot in a bit.

Thanks! The class so far is way too easy! I'm so bored. I've already done quite a bit in Visual Basic 2008 Express, but the change to 2005 seems to be different. I'm just one of those lazy programmers who can do something, but would rather import code Thanks again!

Are you able to physically access each computer? If so, I would suggest using some external media for such a large file. If not, then my suggestions depend on whether you have a fast or a slow connection. If you have a fast enough connection, try setting your computer up to be a HTTP server and download using HTTP connections, or you can do FTP, your choice. You can also try to use Instant Messengers, but they will be incredibly slow. Torrents are another fast way to do it. I would also highly suggest compressing the file, it will speed up the transfer process. If you are able to physically access both computers, then aim for file transfer using external media, such as a flash drive or an external hard drive.

As good practice, I name all of my files with a .php extension. It is just a more effective way of naming files, especially since I am a heavy PHP user. I have never used the .htm extension, only .php and .html for files like that. I would suggest to just name all of your files with HTML and/or PHP with a .php extension for simplicity's sake.

Ok, I am learning Visual Basic 2005 in school this year, and I am curious if anybody knows where I can find resources for Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition? I just need things like project templates and user controls.

This seems really interesting to look into. I am curious as to how the body parts still react after all of your cells have died and you are no longer producing ATP or intaking glucose to power these chemical reactions. I actually am not very grossed out about this, but rather fascinated.

I use Geany for lightweight editing, but I use Eclipse for large scale Perl/PHP/HTML stuff. Neither is WYSIWYG, but they both are open source and are guranteed spyware free. I have used Notepad++ before and I liked it very much. If you aren't doing a lot of coding, just grab Geany, but for large scale projects I suggest Eclipse or a WYSIWYG editor.

Well, it depends on the carrier of the phone. I know how to do it with AT&T Wireless. All you would do for AT&T is send an email to [numberhere]@mms.att.netIt is probably different for each carrier.

Well, a few days ago I terminated my hosting using the Credit System 2.0, but it still has me in the [HOSTED] group on the forums, which is making my credits go down for nothing. I need this fixed please.

I know of quite a few private servers. I also play on a few of them. A few are WoWscape, TruWoW, IMBA, WoWTrance, ChaosCrusade, WoWfusion. Here are links to each one. WoWscape - [link] TruWoW - [link] IMBA - [link] WoWtrance - [link] ChaosCrusade - [link] WoWfusion - [link]

This can be useful for students. You can keep files and whatnot in a portable place. Since most students use like library computers, they move around, so portability is nice.

The Wii is actually a really great system with games that are fun playing solo and playing multiplayer. I have one and I say it is definitely worth purchasing. Games like Super Smash Brothers: Brawl and Mario Party are a lot of fun to play with friends and stuff, but of course you have your single player games like Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess or Super Mario Galaxy. The Wii is a great system, and even has good graphics on a few games. I would highly suggest getting one

Well, yesterday I decided I was going to customize my desktop. Well, I came up with a wallpaper that fits my desktop very well, but it kinda only fits my desktop. Well, I took a screenshot of my desktop with the wallpaper applied and all of my icons arranged. Here is what it looks like . If anybody wants the actual wallpaper, just ask and I will upload and put inside this topic.

Well, a text editor can read just about any file type, but alot of files will show up as gibberish computer code or something. Word processors I believe can do the same thing, but some file types will show up differently between the word processor and a text editor. Try opening up a .doc file in Notepad and you will see what I mean. They both perform similar functions, but each one is used for different purposes.

My computer ran pretty smoothly with Vista Home Premium running Aero on 1 GB of ram. It lagged a bit though, and half of my RAM was constantly being used by Vista. You don't have to have 3gigs of RAM, but more than a gig would be best. Especially if you are going to run multiple applications at once.

I would have to say Gmail, I use it and hardly get spam email and it integrates with my Mozilla Thunderbird very well. I also like the look of the web client for Gmail as well. Hotmail is nice and all, but it has alot of ads and stuff. Gmail is nice and simple.

I'm a Linux supporter, but I use XP. I also am a fan of the Mac OS X operating system for many reasons. It looks better than Windows ever will for one. It is based off of Unix, so it is stable, because Unix itself is stable. OS X though lacks when it comes to programs, I have had few problems installing programs on my Linux when I had it, and very few when installing on XP. With OS X though, I had alot, of course I was on a school computer. In my honest opinion, I find Mac OS X to reign supreme between Windows and Mac, but Linux beats them both for alot of reasons.

The internet browser is available for the regular DS, but only online. You can buy it from the Nintendo website. There are two versions of the browser. The one sold in stores is for DS Lite only, but the one online is compatible with both.

I actually find this to be cool. I might do this someday. Thanks for the info man!
