  1. Who cares if something you like is deemed childish by others? I have a grand philosophy for use when weighing my own desires versus the opinions of others. It contains a naughty word, so I'll use clever puns to make you infer the actual content of the phrase, thus eliminating it's offensiveness.The cowboys say you're not good enough to rodeo?Buck 'em.Your school's janitor refuses to clean up after you?Muck 'em. Some chickens are spreading gossip around the barnyard?Cluck 'em.Your kids won't stop jumping on their beds and screaming?Mothertuck 'em.Get the idea?Oh, fudge it.
  2. A great many foolish statements have been made in this thread. It seems that many of you think that the papacy is pristine and holy. That a man could ascend to the papacy despite childhood collaberation with an immoral regime is unthinkable to some. I suppose you have never heard of Pope John XII. John engaged in pretty much every sin that has a name. By all accounts, he was not the kind of man you would want to leave alone with your daughter... or your wife... or your mother... or your son... basically, there was a good chance he'd have sex with anybody who went near him. If he didn't like you, you were excommunicated and/or killed. For more on John XII, see the Rotten Library. Pope Benedict XVI donned jackboots and talked about how rad the Fuhrer was with the other kidsÂat least he didn't bone his mother. On this, we can all agree.
  3. If you plan on naming all of your index files "index.[whatever]", then you don't need this: # Set the default handler to index.php:DirectoryIndex index.php Without this code, "index.php" will still work as the index, and so will "index.html". Then there's the matter of this code: # Customized server error messages:ErrorDocument 404 /index.php This sends the browser back to "index.php" when the server can't find a page. If "index.php" doesn't exist, it will just show the default Apache 404 page. You might be able to add "index.html" after "index.php", like Spectre says you can do for the DirectoryIndex command, so that you can cover your bases, but I'm not sure about the syntax of this command. In my opinion, it is better to simply delete this so that your visitors get the 404 page. If I were at your site and I tried to access an unavailable page, I'd like to know what the problem was, rather than just being sent back to the index. My advice: delete all of the code I've quoted above. Best of luck.
  4. I have two guesses for the origin of your problem:1. You have two index files, like for instance, index.html and index.php in the same folder...or2. Your .htaccess file specifies a file other than index.html as the index page.If index.php works, but index.html does not, then #2 can't be right. And I would think you'd notice that you had two indices if #1 were culpable. So this post has probably been of no help, but I can't think of any other explanation for that behavior.
  5. This line made me laugh copiously. It feels like something John Goodman's character from the Big Lebowski would say. On topic, I agree with the others that a pet subforum is just too specific for this group of people. Then again, I would think that a Halo subforum would also be too specific, so what do I know?
  6. My ideal cell phone would have propellors which rise out of the top, and then carry me to wherever I want to go, for as long as I can hold on.In fact, my ideal cell phone doesn't even really need to make phone calls.

    I Hate Noobs

    I LOVE noobs; so shapely and pert...
  8. Not quite. My high school GPA wasn't great (mostly As and Bs, a C here or there and maybe one or two Ds), but I got a 1510 on the SATs and am a National Merit Scholar. Still, most Ivy League schools wouldn't even consider me on account of my lackluster grades. And few colleges called me; it was mostly the armed services who pestered me. Now mail from universities, on the other hand, was stacking up quite high.
  9. This is from the website to which I linked above.
  10. Taken from this site. It doesn't specify, but the first command is only hides JPGs and GIFs. You can hide any kind of file, and if you want to hide specific files, just replace the "*.gif" and "*.jpg" with the file names.
  11. From your oversimplistic comment, it is evident that you do not understand the theory of evolution, djluki. Here is a link to website that answers many questions you may have regarding evolution in an easy to understand way. The way you summarily dismiss the prevailing body of modern scientific thought is akin to someone saying that a certain religion is wrong. Not only is it insulting to adherents of said religion, but it is very assumptive; that you are the only true holder of knowledge and everyone else is wrong.

    Green Day

    I just read in a magazine that Green Day changed their name to Green Day after Billy Joe heard some guys on a college campus using the term to mean something like spending the day smoking pot. Where did you hear that ridiculous rumor?
  13. Your forum should exist for a reason. There must be some initial impetus to join your forum, rather than any of the millions of other fora available on the Internet.Are you creating a forum to serve a purpose, or is it simply to quell your desire for having a forum?
  14. Pascal's wager would only work in a system where there existed only the two options of atheism and theism. Unfortunately for those who make this wager, religion exists in many varieties that often directly contradict eachother. Oftentimes, being a devout member of one religion precludes good standing with another. With the millions of distinct religions that have existed throughout humanity's existence, the question becomes: which religion is right? Well, assuming that every religion has an equal chance of being right (even after removing from the pool religions which specify no afterlife at the behest of my roommate), Pascal's wager becomes useless. Pascal was obviously inclined toward Christendom, so one should take anything he said regarding religion with a grain of salt (or a whole pillar, even). As for you people who ask what we want to believe: are you so empty as to choose deluded complacency over truth? What I want to believe has nothing to do with what I believe. I would like for there to exist a god or gods because the concept of death is jarring. But I flat-out reject a hell where innocent people go because they chose the wrong faith or were born in the wrong place. Truth is the closest thing to a god I have. If there is a higher power which judges us after our deaths, I feel certain that those who stand to benefit most will be those who pursue truth, and those who sacrifice themselves for others with no pretense of compensation.
  15. Fsastraps is right. The adjective's position definitely depends on the adjective and the context of the situation. For instance:El hombre grandeand El grande hombre...mean respectively "the great man" and "the large man" (unless it's the other way around).I once learned a rule for determining the position of the adjective, but I have since forgotten it.However, in my French studies, we were taught the acronym B.A.G.S. which stands for:BeautyAgeGoodnessSizeIf any French adjective pertains to these attributes, they go before the noun, and if not, they go after. Because Spanish and French are so similar, I would assume this rule generally applies for Spanish as well.So, because "grande" in one of the above senses refers to size, it would go before and imply "large". I may be wrong... Fsastraps, does that sound right to you?
  16. I thought Notepad was the industry standard...
  17. In the US, the SATs are taken as a qualification for college (university, to you Canadians and Brits). Are your SATs made by a company called College Board? Or is it a different set of tests with a coincidental name?
  18. When I want to stretch a SWF across the screen, I just link to the SWF file. It will stretch as far and as high as it can until it reaches a limit. If you want this to fit the entire screen exactly, with no margins on the side, this method will not always work, because the space at the top of a browser (toolbars, tabs, etc.) is unpredictable, even if you specially engineer it to fit.As I see it, this is the closest to a solution you're going to get.
  19. Good job, but why did you choose to draw piles of poo?
  20. My quotes aren't working. Whatever. No, it's not. But here's an autopsy photo (warning, though it is not very graphic, it is still a picture of a dead man who has been cut up a bit, so if you are prone to be offended, or are too young to view such materials in your area, please refrain from clicking the link). Lots of rappers do this. It's because most of them grew up in a culture of death, where young black men have very short lifespans. Suge Knight is a criminal, in every sense of the word. Of course he fears the police. My sources say that he was killed while talking to women at an intersection. Yes. Perhaps Tupac is a zombie? Clearly, Snoop Dogg killed Tupac. Lots of entertainers talk about retiring into obscurity, but few of them do it voluntarily. This website claims that Tupac had a small service in Las Vegas, then two other services. I'm not convinced that he always wore a bulletproof vest. It would be hot and constricting in many situations. I imagine they cremated him after the coroner had finished his report on the body. If Tupac really lived the life of Machiavelli's prince, it wouldn't be so hard to imagine that there would be a lot of people who want to kill him. This is so not compelling. In what language? Try it yourself. It's missing letters. Wow, recurring numbers, huh? What are the odds? Pretty good, actually. Take any event and you'll be able to find a host of recurring numbers. We only have so many numbers, of course they're going to show up a few times. Not at all. Next time you copy and paste some ridiculous conspiracy theory on the forum, choose something with better arguments.
  21. I like it, but I think the blue could use some texture.
  22. Here are a few: http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/ http://www.adultswim.com/games (although I think they employ methods to keep you from stealing their games) http://www.newgrounds.com/
  23. You don't need any program except a text editor to turn an image into a hyperlink. Do you have a basic understanding of html?But what I would suggest you do is make that one image into two images using slices in Imageready, if you have it.
  24. Somebody beat me to the preload function But I did notice what seemed to be several identical javascripts in your code. I don't have time to pour over your code, but here is my appraisal of the situation.You know that script that handles the function that switches images? You only need that once. You can reference that function as many times as you want in the body of your page, but inserting the script in the head multiple times only serves to slow everything down.Presumably, you put that in your code once for each image. Classic n00b. I did the same thing before I learned a bit about Javascript.Of course, it's entirely possible that I overlooked something in my haste (finals week!).
