Hi all,If your computer has to enter the BIOS password, you should change your settings. I know setting BIOS password is more secure but to use Remote Desktop Connection. You should provide the following 3 conditions:1. The computer or laptop has an Internet Connection2. The power is on (24 hours)3. The computer has to boot without any barrier or password such as BIOS passwordClearing the BIOS password depends on what BIOS your computer has.

Problem When you save your personal important files in your hard disk, those files can be hacked by some hackers. Your information is leaked outside. Solution The best way to solve this problem is not to connect Internet. :fart: That is what I normally do. So, no one can hack your computer. You are free. Save your files and Have a good day. If you know any other idea, please share with us. Thank you very much

Problem as a story Last month, my friend bought Tom Tom which is a car GPS navigation system. Yesterday, she told me that her new Tom Tom's hard disk was broken down. She got a shock and tried to find one year grantee voucher or receipt. She could not find anywhere. At last, there is only one way for her to pay the repair fee. From this problem, I have learned that people should keep their receipts, slips and vouchers. Solution::: Make your day happy I got a really good idea after that. I try to SCAN important receipts, slips and vouchers as much as I can. It is really good for me. For example, you bought a printer and got 3 year grantee, but it was broken unfortunately. Moreover, if you lose the original one, you can show the copy one and claim to get a new printer back. Hope you will be happy.

I like Gmail and try to use Gmail drive to keep my backup. Actually, I was totally wrong. My idea was such a stupid idea. Last two months ago, when I was working on my project, I tried to keep my backup on Gmail drive. Sometimes, it was failed to save. At last, I gave up to use Gmail drive. It is pretty annoying that you get several mails whenever you put new files in your Gmail drive. It should not be like that. I stopped using Gmail drive and did not know it is still worked or not.

Good question and Good answers. I really like people are trying to create new things. I think it is possible that you know XML and make DTD for your new font. In the website, HTML websites are normally validated by the w3c format which is standard for every brower such as IE, Firefox, etc. In the font coding <font face="Verdana"> the attribute of face is Verdana. If you put your new font's name, it cannot be seen on other IE browsers. If you can change or create your own DTD which stimulate original w3c format, you can put your font's name in it. I know only about XML and I do not know how to upload your font and direct your font source file from the DTD.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. Hope you all get happy holiday and great time. Hope you with your lovely family

Hi all, I would like to discuss whether you want to get specific skills or generic skills. One of my friends who works as an accountant told me that she wants her husband to change his career from the IT field to the business field. She mentions that all firms are looking for employee who knows lots and lots of programming languages. So, it is very difficult to get a job when the programming language you know is not used anymore. Maybe she is right. Therefore, most IT employees are also training themselves to be expert in many programming languages. Is that possible? Those are kind of Generic Skills. They are not specialize in any thing. It is lack of industry-specific skills. A friend of mine who is a Professional Java Developer told me not to worry about that. We do not need to follow every new technology. He said we have to stick on specific one. Maybe, he is right. However, as for me, I cannot do it like that. I do not want to get left behind. I think all people from IT field are like me. We all are motivated to learn new technologies. This is our passion, and a fun for us. We try to achieve lots of skills as much as we can. Am I right? How about you? Do you have specific skills or generic skills? I have read a good article in this following link. http://www.sciencedirect.com/ According to this article, I find out that companies and employees possibly will have contradictory interests with respect to the skills. Currently, most of the colleges and universities offer generic trainings instead of training industry-specific skills. Employees prefer more generic training than trying to optimal specific skills. Because of the insufficient competition with generic skills for industry-specific skills, employees cannot get jobs easily. This is a problem for employees to aware because increasing the level of generic training, decreasing the level of specific skills. So, they can get jobs as junior positions not to be professions which they can earn more money. On the other hand, companies want the generic skills to replace in any position whenever they need. I think it is completely wrong, but this is only my point of view. What do you think about that? Is that right or wrong?

I have used Window 2000, Window Me and Window XP before. I feed up with Microsoft Window XP Professional. After I read this, I do not want to buy Windows Vista. It is very expensive. As for me, no point to buy although it is better. That is my opinion. I have never use Linus and Mac OS. I want to use Linux and Mac OS because one of my friends said it is extremely faster than Window OS. But I have to buy Apple to use Mac OS. It will cost me more.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. This is a really good discussion. I would like to edit some parts as following. <?php$image[1] = 'http://mywebsite.com/pic/1.JPG';$image[2] = 'http://mywebsite.com/pic/2.JPG';$image[3] = 'http://mywebsite.com/pic/3.JPG';$random_select = rand(1, 3);$content = <<<html<html><body><img src="$image[$random_select]"/></body></html>html;echo $content; ?> I do not put <img.....> coding in the array because I think it is kind of repeating. I think line of code and words are count for a total file size. Moreover, one of my teachers taught me to use One and Only One principle. For example, it is going to use repeatedly, we should put it in the function and call that function instead of repeating those same coding again and again. In this example, "https://www.1and1.com/website-builder; is repeatedly used in array again. If you are going to create this random of pictures from the same source like above. As long as you are ensure you can remove "https://www.1and1.com/website-builder; from the array and put in the HTML coding. <?php$image[1] = '1.JPG';$image[2] = '2.GIF';$image[3] = '3.JPG';$random_select = rand(1, 3);$content = <<<html<html><body><img src="http://mywebsite.com/pic/$image[$random_select]"/></body></html>html;echo $content; ?>

""SESSION fail to store"" Hi, I use Frameset and there are two files: one is Header and another one is Body. When I put the following coding in the Header file, it shows "1" <?php if(isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) { $_SESSION['user_id'] = $_SESSION['user_id'] + 1; } else {$_SESSION['user_id'] = 1;} echo "session id set up is =" . $_SESSION['user_id']; ?> Output = " session id set up is =1 " But, when I put the following code in the Body, it does not show anything <?php $cid = $_SESSION['user_id']; echo "Session ID is = " . $cid; ?> Output = "Session ID is = " Why doesn't it show? How could I get Session? I would like to create a shopping basket (cart). I was looking for the codings but most of them have very long coding and I could not understand them. So, I want to make on my own. Could you please help me? Thanks ahead.

If you have satellite, you can discover new music at MTV channel. You can watch New band, new singer, new album, famous songs, and top hits. There are lots of programme in MTV. I love to watch MTV and sometimes record some MTV. Now, I do not have satellite in this house and just listen from Youtube. Maybe you can check in http://www.mtv.com/ too. If you already have your favorite band, you can go to their website and search when their new album will release. If you know their album name and song titles, you can search in Youtube. Yes, there are lots of steps to do.

I normally listen to Pop songs and country songs. Sometimes, I listen Korean and Chinese songs. I recently listen Emma Bunton - "DOWNTOWN" which was started singing by Petula Clark You can search in Youtube and listen it. It is really nice POP song. Let's go to downtown.......

Gmail is better than others. LOL I have used Yahoo, MSN, and other free emails. I cannot use MSN and Yahoo. MSN is widely used but it has been banned in my country and other organization such as university, and offices. Yahoo is also banned in my country but at the beginning it does not allow users to keep lots of emails because of limited space. Gmail is the first email which give big space such as 1GB to keep our emails. I do not need to delete my emails. Now, it allows 5GB. But it also has some problems. The files you keep so long are going to crush. Last 3 months ago, I checked my old mails and found mp3 sound. I tried to listen it but I only heard terrible sound. I realized that the file was damaged. Maybe just having error with binary code (010110100 to 010110111). I am not pretty sure. What so ever it is, Gmail is very convenient and easy for users to send email quickly. Once you send an email to your new friend, his or her email is already added in your contact list. You do not need to add a new contact list separately. As for me, MSN is a little wired. Oh one more thing is that you can use gtalk and chat with your friend when you log in to your gmail. You do not need to install any software. You can leave offline message simply. Gmail use AJAX, so it is very fast for you to access it. It only loads one new part not loading the whole web page again. Isn't it cool? I feel that gmail is more advance than others. At the beginning MSN gives only 2MB space. Yahoo is about 250 MB. Now, everything is changed and followed the way Gmail does. Oh, you can attach a file easily. In Yahoo and MSN, there are 2 steps to attach a file. I dislike that. I do not want to waste my time for attach files one by one. Moreover, in Gmail, attachment file size is 10 MB which is larger than Yahoo and MSN. This is GB century. All photos, video, music, mp3, mp4, and pdf files are over 2 MB. It is difficult for us to reduce the size less than 2 MB.

I love to attend my class because I am very lazy to study on my own. I have been grown up under a spoon feeding education system. I would like to learn from teachers instead of studying on my own. I know it is bad. Normally, I have paid expensive tuition fees, so I bare in my mind that I must attend every class. The only reason I skip my class is that I fall asleep and cannot wake up early because I study late at night. It is very easy for me to finish one chapter if I attend a class. I cannot finish reading one chapter per day. In the class, the lecture gives a lecture of one or two chapters per day. It is really cool. However, if I miss one class, I am going to miss many chapters, and cannot understand that day's lecture. As you know, lecture notes are just Power Point slides. You have to read lots of books and books to understand those short notes. When I attended one SE class, the lecturer put lots of questions on his slides without answers. He only gave answers in the class. He has two slides: one with answers and another one without answers. Students can only download slides without answers. We all requested him to give us answers, but he said NO. He told us that this is the only technique to draw student attention to attend his class regularly. Yes, he is really tough and strict. Maybe his technique is quite effective and successful. There are lots of students in his classes comparing with other classes. What so ever it is, I do not want to skip any class. Is there any one who want to give a free class? Here I am. I would come and attend your class. Cheers!

Hi all,I am wondering to have E-mail manager which can support us to send email on the specified selected date. I have been used "IncrediMail" and I like it very much. However, when I use 123greetings.com, I realize that I can send online greeting cards on the specified date. From that time, I am always looking for a good E-mail service, software or webmail. I cannot find it. Maybe, you know some good softwares or webmail. If you really know it, please tell me. Thanks ahead.

It all depends how you cope with it. You can't judge SUN is bad. It is nature and it is good in some way. Similarly, internet dating is part of today's modern society. It does not make sense for some people. Disadvantages Other members' thinking are all correct. Those are true. No Trust No Honest No loyalty ( e.g. one guy will date you two or three times because he forgets who you are ) Very dangerous It is dangerous if they plan to meet outside Liars You become a liar Random Love (e.g. you will meet your bro there) Illusion You are not living on the real world. You live on the Fantasy world. They are going to tell you how much they love you and they are really eager to marry you. You cannot rely on it. If you get married, that marriage cannot go very well. (Your bad habits, his bad habits, Like, Dislikes) Big problem I'm afraid to marry because I met lots of guys and I don't trust anyone Advantages Good experience If you say NO I talked with one guy everyday. He listens whenever I told him. He dates me at last. I said NO. He said BYE. He disappeared later. If you say YES I wait my friends and family online but they do not want to give their time to me. I want to speak my mother language with someone. I met one guy from my country online. I talk with him everyday. He dated me. I said YES. Until today, he always waits me there and talks with me. Maybe he is chatting with other girls. I don't care. As long as he is there for me, it is fine. You get SOMEONE always there. You can tell your feeling, problems, release your stress. No need to tell your big idea. I have experience with that. Safe As for me, Internet Dating is safe. I do not wish to meet my online bf in the real world because I know he can rape me OR kill me. As long as you can handle yourself not to meet guys outside and meet him behind the screen, it is secure for girls. This is my rule and I can manage very well because I always date with guys who stay abroad. I have never given my real name, my real address, and my real mobile number. Although I think internet dating is good in some way, I do not wish to marry online bf. I totally agree with others. It won't go well. 100% for sure.

Thank you very much, bbelnap2 for your good Pad Thai recipe. It is really nice. Yesterday, my friend fried some vegetable with tempura flour. It is awesome. Mainly, you need the tempura flour which involves wheat flour, corn flour, rice flour, glutinous flour, and backing powder. It is good for various kinds of fried snack because it is specially prepared for ready use. If you want to make a party, please make some snack with this Tempura flour. It is very quick and easy to use. My friend told me that among other brands of tempura flour, the brand name GoldLabel is the best. Here are the ingredients: 1 pack (150 gms. ) of Tempura flour 1 Teaspoon of Chicken Powder 1 Teaspoon of Salt 1 Tablespoon of Chili sauce 1 Tablespoon of Tamarind paste 1 glass (210c.c) of cold Water 500g of Fresh food, Meat or Vegetable Direction for use 1. Mix tempura flour, chicken powder, and salt with one glass of cold water. Be aware not to use hot or warm water. 2. Stir until it is thoroughly mixed. 3. Coat the liquid with vegetable or meat (chicken, shrimp, crab, fish, pork, beef, meatball, sausage) 4. Fry in normal hot fat or oil until it turns golden brown. Don't make oil very hot. Don't use very high heat. 5. After frying, it is time to prepare the sauce. Mix chili sauce and tamarind paste with one glass of hot water. Your snack is ready. Enjoy your meal.

At the same time, you should not eat too much because of tiredness. Come on. You have a goal. Let's see my daily routine.1. Get up early to take exercises. If you want to lose your weight quickly, you must run very fast with IPOD or Mp3 player. Music can make you feel more relax. Please record hip hop music instead of country songs.2. Don't forget to drink a glass of water before you have your meal. It will make you full.3. Don't sit or sleep after you finish your meal. Please walk around or do something else.4. If you sit too long for your work, please walk around often. Take light exercise in the restroom. 5. Don't check your weight at the first week or don't be depressed when your weight increase. It is because of muscles. All your FAT are gone. You look fit. So, Don't stop taking exercise.6. If you have time and want to lose your weight quickly, you should take exercise two times a day.

I know you love shopping. So do I. You do not realize you are walking hours and hours but this is a kind of walking exercise.Good Luck!

Hi, Last term, I presented my presentation to my supervisor every day with Remote Desktop Connection. I did not need to bring my laptop from my hostel to campus, campus to hostel. It is very convenient for me. So, I would like to share my knowledge to you. It is also good when you are away from your computer, you can still access your computer from the distance. For example, if you were in Italy and studied there, you should not need to bring your computer, but you could manage your computer. It is very simple and very easy. I would like to explain with pictures. There are two parts: ONE is to set up on your remote computer, ANOTHER ONE is to access your remote computer from another computer. First, you have to know your ip address. To know your IP address: 1. Please go to Start > Run 2. Type "cmd" 3. In the command mode, type "ipconfig" 4. If you will get your IP address as following picture, please write it down or save in your PDA. You have to use this later. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png To change setting in System properties: 1. Please go to Start > My Computer > Right Click your mouse 2. When you see "System Properties" window, click "Remote" tab. 3. When you see two check boxes, please tick both of them. 4. Then click "OK" http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png To change setting in Registry Editor: 1. Please go to Start > Run 2. Type "regedit" 3. Go to the folder which is under My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp4. Click "Port Number"5. Change the port number into 22 ( if your server support 80 or 90, you do not need to change this. In some universities, they do not allow students to access port 80, and port 90. Therefore, when you face that problem, you can use port 22 instead of port 90 and 80). http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png To change setting in Windows Firewall: 1. Please go to Start > Control Panel 2. Click "Windows Firewall" 3. Go to "Exceptions" tab 4. If you would like to use port 22. Click "Add Port" 5. Fill name "Port 22" and Port number "22" 6. Then, click "OK" http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png Now, you finish setting on your remote computer. I almost forget to tell you one important thing. Before you access your computer from another computer, you have to change your user account to log in automatically without entering user name and password. As you know, you are going to access your remote computer through th Internet. If your window needs to fill name and password, your computer will not connect Internet at that stage. Therefore, you cannot connect your remote computer. 1. Please go to Start > Run 2. Type "control userpasswords2" 3. When your user account have a tick in the check box, please make untick [hr=noshade] [/hr] Now you can access your computer from another computer. 1. Go to remote desktop connection 2. Click "Options>>", for more detail http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png To connect your remote computer: 1. Please go to Start > Accessories> Communications> Remote Desktop Connection 2.

In "Experience", you can manage Desktop background, etc. If you wish to see your background, the connection will be SLOW. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png Good Luck!

Hi,Everyone has different idea. I get wonderful idea and forget quickly. It happens all the time. Finally, I got an idea to post my idea in the forum. I think you may be interested to know.Now, I would like to share how I decorate my clothing cupboard. Most of the time my underwears are messed in my cupboard. It looks really ugly when someone come and visit my room.Last week, I saw an empty tissue box on the table. I got an idea and took that tissue box.I folded my underwears, and rolled them as spring rolls, then put in the tissue box one by one.I could put 12 or more underwears.At last, I have two tissue boxes: one is for my sport bras and another one is for my penties. If you have fashion forms bras, you have to open a Tissue box from the side and place your bras inside.If you want to use your bra or penty, you can take it out one by one easily.Now, my cupboard is neat and tidy. I hang clothes and put two tissue boxes at the corner. It does not cost me anything.Later, I will post how to decorate your rooms.Good Luck!

Hi, The extension of Ruby files is rb. To develop your web application in Ruby on Rails, you have to know MVC (Model-View-Controller). Some people think that Rails is better than others because Rails force developers to design their architecture under MVC pattern. There are the "controllers" folder, the "models" folder, the "views" folder under the "app" folder. In some programming languages such as JSP, and ASP, you have to set up server site using with other technologies such as TomCat, IIS and Apache. Some users have failed to install them. In Ruby on Rails, you only need to type "ruby script/server", then the server of your web application runs quickly. Ruby started from Japan and Rails invented because of the weakness of PHP. In PHP, some coding are repately used. For example, connection to DB. Therefore, there is a strictly rule in Rails which is "DO NOT REPEAT YOURSELF". If you are interested and would like to know more about RoR, I would like to recommend you to buy this book. Rails Solutions - Ruby On Rails Made Easy (2007) You can download this book from the following link. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ The source code can be downloaded from this link http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ This book is amazing and very easy for a non-programming web designer to build a web application in RoR. The autor explains what MVC is; what Ruby is; what Ruby on Rails is; what involves in Object-oriented programming. Moreover, the book starts from the history of web programming languages and compares each of them. I also bought this book and have done one big CMS within 1 month. Isn't it fast? If you are pretty new with RoR, you do not have to worry about that because I read the book, did tutorials and finished my project within 1 month. Therefore, the video show creating a blog website within 15 minutes is not strange for me anymore. It could happen if you really use proper IDE. If you would like to use IDE, you can use the TextMate on Mac OS X and the E-texteditor on Window. There are so many Ruby on Rails supported IDE used in Eclipse and IntelliJ. The best IDE editor for Ruby on Rails is TextMate. The screencasts that you have seen on Ruby on Rails websites have used TextMate. The tutorials and examples you can see on most websites and forums are also for Mac OS X users. If you use Window, you can download 30 day trail version of the E-texteditor. At the beginning, I did not know the different syntax of Mac OS X and Window. I tried and could not make it work. I got lost several days. For example, to run the server, you have to type "ruby script/server" in the command mode on Window. In Mac OS X, you only need to type "script/server". There are many differences. The reason I recommend the above book is because of that. In the book, the author explains how to set up Ruby on Rails on Window step by step very clearly and precisely. Good Luck!
