I've just had one peak on the fifth, and it's been 50-60 page impressions since then...

Imagine this - you are at an important meeting, and need to show some spreadsheets to your boss, but you realise you have forgotten the files at home! There is no time to go back, since that would take you at least an hour, so what else can you do? Why not just access your own computer from the Internet? Remote desktop is a concept that allows you to control one computer from the other, and this has been used for some time. However, setting up such system can prove to be somewhat complicated. Luckily, if you are running Linux on your home desktop, it's doesn't have to be I'll start with one acronym - SSH. SSH stands for Secure Shell, which is a protocol regularly used by web masters who need to access their web server (Xisto - Web Hosting has it in its offer, of course). But this doesn't mean you cannot use it on your own computer. The main idea I will deal with here is installing a SSH server on your Linux machine, and accessing it from another. I have done this on Ubuntu 7.10, so this is what my instructions will revolve around. Nevertheless, I am sure you all realise that different Linux distributions aren't at all that different, so the process should be pretty much the same for everyone. The first things you will need is a SSH server. The package you are looking for is called openssh-server. There are several ways you can install it - I have used Synaptic Package Manager. Once installed, the SSH server will listen at port 22 for incoming connections. If you are the only one who will use this server, it might be a good idea to change the port number. To do so, you need to edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file (what you are looking for will be near the top), and then restart the server: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart Now, since we've got the server running the way we want to, we can connect to it - use whatever program you find the best. If you need to know your IP address, head over to https://www.whatismyip.com/ '> https://www.whatismyip.com/ . Oh, wait! Not working? There is one thing that is usually the problem... Port forwarding. If you are using a router to connect to the Internet, you probably need to tell it what ports to open. Your router's address is usually 192.168.1.1, so go in there and allowing incoming connections at port XXXX (which you assigned to the SSH server). If you still can't access it... There must be some other, more complicated problems. If you can - use it wisely

The last thing you stated is true - last time I checked, the clicks came from pages I had nothing to do with... That's one point for the "last poster on the entire forum" theory

Of course it has some problems, but the big "fan base" it has behind itself really does help a lot. What use is a perfect programming language if no one uses it, if no one is there to help you when you run into some problems? I am not saying that this is the case with other database systems, but I am saying that MySQL is the easiest to deal with - something very important for every beginner.

Wrong While I must say that I don't fully understand the bold part, I can assure you that the only way to earn MyCENTs is by posting at Xisto and Xisto. Moderators do have special priviledges, but only when it comes to moderating these forums. In other aspects, we are "human" as well Therefore, we have to earn and pay for our hosting plans just like you... Personally, I've switched to Xisto - Web Hosting's paid plans two years ago, but this does come as a nice way of paying for it. As for Yordan's myCENTs, I really don't know what is happening... I have mine transfered to the Xisto account each time I reach 100.

I also think it is about the last poster in the topic... Furthermore, I am currently somewhat confused, because my page impressions (and therefore my earnings) didn't rise for the day when I posted more. Makes me wonder (again) why this happens.

Yes, it is possible. However, the system isn't completely automated, so changing your e-mail address at Xisto would cause some confusion. The right way to do this (and the only way to do it, actually) is to contact an administrator, as he/she is the only one that can change both e-mail addresses properly.

If a "database" is a term not easy for a beginner to understand, I always turn to how databases are displayed - tables (what you've already mentioned). A single database would be best described as a Microsoft Office Excel file (*.xls), with multiple sheets in it, which would represent tables. Through the use of a programming language, the developer connects to the MySQL server (turns on the computer), chooses a database to work white (opens an Excel file), and then executes MySQL queries (collects, inserts and changes data inside different sheets of that Excel file).

I've played both games as well, though Age of Empires had caught my attention a bit more. Now, obviously, Starcraft is more popular (especially in East Asia ), and I can understand this, but Age of Empires offers more diversity, in my opinion. It also comes down to whether you prefer realistic games or not. It really is difficult to tell which one is better...

If my memory serves me well, you will start accumulating myCents once you have posted five posts. Your post count is currently 4, so you will be needing one more post in order to start earning myCents. After that, every post ads money to your Xisto Account Register at Xisto as well, and you will probably find it easier to reach the amount necessary for your chosen hosting plan.

You know what? This does seem to be the case. I have been quite busy recently, thus being unable to post on the forums, and my earning have dropped a lot ("disappeared" might be a better word). However, I do not think there is some hidden algorithm that deals with this - there just this: Percentage of time last poster's ads will display: 11% True, 11% isn't a lot, but it obviously affects one's earnings.

Has there been a change in the algorithm? Because my page impressions have dropped... A lot.

There is a way to reduce (but not completely remove) reflections which is widely used when water-sports, cars, objects behind glass etc. are photographed - a CPL filter. What is a CPL filter? CPL is a Circular Polarisation filter which has two pieces of glass and mounts on top of your lens (if you have no way to put it on, holding it in front of the camera will do the trick ). The front element polarises light (natural light is not polarised), and the other one changes it polarisation angle, depending on how it is rotated. This is why the two elements can rotate. Besides dealing with reflections, it also gives better colours on some occasions, especially when photographing a piece of sky with distinct white clouds. After a UV filter, it is a must-have for any serious photographer.

I haven't try the new version myself (come to think of it, I haven't tried Vista either ), but from what I have read, the public response is mostly positive. It seems to be faster than Vista, which is a huge advantage, given that the mentioned operation system was... Sluggish

For those of you who might have been confused by the topic title, the right link to follow is "Virtual machine". Essentially, it allows you to create a virtual computer inside your operating system that would in no way depend on the OS itself. What can you do with something like that? For example, you can run Linux inside Windows, or the other way round. I am interested in the latter. Currently, I am running Ubuntu 7.10 and use it 95% of my time. However, there are certain tasks that I am more with when performed in Windows XP - I dual boot these two operating systems. What is more, there are tasks that I cannot deal with in Linux, which is another reason why Windows XP is necessary. I use it mostly for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Bridge (for photography), Visual Studio (I do C# programming) and Internet Explorer (as some important web sites do not work at all when opened with Firefox and Opera). As I am sure you are fully aware, it is somewhat of a nuisance to restart your computer every now and then just so you could complete short tasks before restarting it again and going back to Linux. This is why the idea of a virtual machine is more than appealing. Of course, one cannot use its computer's full potential when running an operating system this way, but it works. What I am asking here is what would be the best Linux distribution for doing so? I am quite keen on Ubuntu, so would not like to change it, but if another distribution uses less resources (therefore leaving more for the virtual machine) while retaining the ease of use - I might think about doing so. Ubuntu, openSUSE, Debian and Fedora are the ones that come to mind. Furthermore, which VM software should I use? I have heard of Virtual Box, but would like to know if there is a better option. Previous experience from anyone who has done this is welcome

While I haven't read it anywhere, it seems somewhat logical that you should be of age (eighteen or older) in order to use this service. Of course, there is no way they could find out whether you are or not, but cashing the check might pose a problem. I suppose wire transfers do not have this obstacle. I had 12.000 impressions three days ago, so I am all "thumbs up" when it comes to this sort of earning

I am aware of that, but as far as I know, IP.Board has no such option Also, it would be unfair towards other users - we are all equal here

Uploads take up a lot of place on the server. Even though not everyone uses this options, we must look at it from a theoretical point of view. The current attachement space is 500kB - multiply that by 26000 members, and you get approximately 13GB. If you doubled it... Ouch. That is why it is always recommended to use free hosting services for such files - for example, ImageFilez for images, and https://www.sendspace.com/ for other files.

With the new Credits System in place, changing the e-mail address is a somewhat complex procedure. Since your Xisto, Xisto and Xisto accounts all need to share the same e-mail address, you have to send a support ticket (at Xisto - Support) asking them to manually change your address. Otherwise, there would (apparently) be some problems...

A external hard drive is always a good idea. Not only can they be used for file transfer, but they can also be a backup hard drive - something every computer user should have. Plus, they are not even that expensive anymore.

I do not think making a login system is a good way to start learning PHP - if you are already good at PHP, do carry on.A simple login system might not pose a problem, but "simple" usually means "not secure". What is more, even the easiest ones need to make use of cookies or sessions, or even both. I have been writing PHP code for over a year now, and I still try to postpone writing login systems as much as I can :mellow:It might be a good idea to start with fetching data from the MySQL database, as this is one of the most simple tasks. You can also install different web applications and examine their MySQL structure - reading their PHP code as well is not a good idea, as these applications have very complex coding.

You have to be careful, though. In case Magic Quotes is turned off (which is should be, a completely useless feature), all the data inside $_POST and $_GET arrays will not have escape quotes, apostrophes etc. If someone enters a value with quotes, you would get something like this: <input type="textbox" name="text" value=""value"with quotes"> Needless to say, this is valid HTML That is why it is necessary to use addslashes() - oh, and also, the input tag need to be closed: <input type="textbox" name="text" value=""value\"with escaped quotes" />

Is the code just similar, or exactly the same? The script you have posted should work, though it might be a good idea to add some headers to the e-mail (refer to the PHP mail() page). There is a slight chance that you don't have the modules required for sending mail, so it would be useful to know where you are testing the script.

If it blocks all JavaScript, then, yes, it does prevent this dropdown menu from working properly.

p.map should use relative, and the div should use absolute. When you use top:0; left:0, the top left corner of the div will be placed in the top left corner of the map - that's how it should work. If it isn't, then something else is the problem. Try posting the whole code
