I learned how to use HTML from Tizag. In addition to HTML tutorials and lessons, they instruct PHP, CSS, and a bunch of other useful information on how to learn more about coding. w3 is also a great website, as mentioned above.

Things seem to be working again now. I just checked my pages and they're all working. I wonder what the down time was about.

Actually, at this point nothing is loading for me either. I JUST started a contest sort of thing on my site and now it can't work. I read somewhere else that there was this new open_basedir thing that had to do with PHP files, but I look throughout my file manager and couldn't find anything with such a name to work with.

Ever since today, my site has been working just fine. I'm maintaining the amount of points I need, and the server status has been and still is fine. However, a while ago I tried to access my site and it wasn't loading. When I loaded the root URL, it worked fine though. I went to the file manager and noticed that the file I was trying to previously access was .php, and the index file at my root URL was .html. I deleted the index.html file and made a index.php file, then tried loading it again. Safari gave me the following message: Anybody know what the problem is and how I can fix it?

Both are going in the wrong direction as far as hard core gaming is concerned. Sony seems to think that graphics are everything, and their library for the PS3 is incredibly limited. While MGS4 and other amazing titles are going to be coming out this year, there's no news for awesome games after 2008 that will wow Sony fans. I would definitely expect the PS4 to be announced in 2010 because of this. Nintendo has lost control of their gamers ever since they started the "Touch Generation" and "Wii Exercise" franchises. Sure, some of the games in those categories are fun, but when it's all Nintendo has their attention on, you've got to realize that Nintendo's direction is for a market that doesn't exist. Yes, games like SSBB and Mario Kart Wii are coming out very soon, but many of their previously announced titles have been pushed back to the end of 2008 or are still TBD in terms of release. Nintendo should start paying more attention to the people buying their products and less to those who they think MIGHT want the products. Microsoft is taking the best direction, honestly. A well-priced core system, a very wide library of games (Don't give me "it was out one year longer" bull), very appealing graphics, and appeals to any gamer.

Samus has the most advanced technology of her time and is intelligent in terms of combat, and Master Chief has the endurance of 90,000 superhumans combined. As far as deciding a victor in an ultimate battle (and not having any reference to Haloid) they're pretty much equal and incomparable. They come from completely different games, and their backgrounds tell unique stories that are unrelated to one another. Because of this, their fighting skills and level of power vary. When it comes to opinions, though, Samus gets my vote.

Considering there are tens of thousands of games that could be crowned "best", and this thread only gives 7 choices to vote for, I don't think that's very fair. :PBut, out of the ones in the poll, I'd definitely say Half-Life 2 is the best out of all of them. Halo 2 is the best in the Halo series, but now that there's Halo 3 to play on Xbox Live you can only play Halo 2's offline for so long before becoming bored with it. I've never played Doom, Starcraft, or WoW, but considering how great of a game Half-Life 2 is, that's definitely getting my vote. If there was a wider selection of games up there, I'd have a different say, probably.

I've been playing piano for 8 years, and I plan on starting guitar once I hit 10 years experience on the piano. I wish I could play various instruments like I see a lot of other people here posting, but I'm just not that talented I guess.

For me, the Apple Airport Extreme works like a charm. Up to 50 different connections can connect through it at once (but if you have it encrypted, who really has 50 devices that use internet?) and it has a very large range. It took me about 10 minutes to set up, and I have yet to have any problems with it. Sure, I have a DSL connection and my DL/UL speed is slow as the Slowsky's from the Comcast commercials, but even so my router makes it not as slow because it processes information pretty quickly.

CSS is basically made to make your html coding a heck of a lot easier. However, sometimes I prefer to use html instead of CSS since it sometimes gets frustrating to refer to the same old style sheet and use an old font ID you made about a week ago. I find it a lot more efficient to just type out the specified font color/style/size in the <font> tag than to use an individual <div> or <table> for certain fonts you'd like to use. Sure, it's very helpful a lot of the time to use CSS in most cases, since it's kind of like a very simplified version of PHP but in a different case, but sometimes for small sites it's better to just not deal with another file.How do you usually use CSS, and how often?

I first started using html on the original Nintendo NSider Forums. I was very new to the internet overall, and could barely handle <img> tags. Over time I became interested in making websites, so I Googled 'html tutorials' and found about 5 different websites from which I learned html in about 2 months. Every now and then if I need to tone my skills I'll still use some of them for reference, and I'm ever so grateful for those websites' existences, since otherwise I would probably not be posting this in order to gain some hosting credits for my site.

I plan on making a script for basic voting between different options, and I'd like to know what PHP coding I would require. Basically, each choice will be as simple as this: <form method="post" action="process.php">Best falsetto?<br><br><input type="radio" name="1"> Person A<br><input type="radio" name="2"> Person B<br><input type="submit" value="Submit"></form> What PHP would be used to basically add 1 value to a specified .txt file based on which option is chosen? (Like, if person A was selected, it would add 1 to persona.txt, and if person B was chosen, it would add 1 to personb.txt) Thanks in advance to whoever helps. I'm not good at this kind of intermediate/advanced PHP.

I voted for "Valentine's Day should be for both love and friendship. Just don't make it commercial and push gifts on everyone!!" I honestly can't stand Valentine's Day. I mean, those already in a relationship have EVERY day to celebrate what they have. Why make a day that forces the actions of people who aren't in love or anything? What makes it even worse is when the student council at your school decides everybody should have a valentine, and they assign every student with another student at random. Well, obviously it isn't random, since the people on the council (I know, but not friends with, 3 of them) all "randomly" ended up with who they liked. In addition, they made assumptions on "who belongs with who". Just out of curiosity I decided to go to giant wall where they had all of the match-ups, and some *BLEEP* on the council put me with this ugly goth female dog. One of my friends who's almost as unpopular and antisocial as me ended up with someone similar as well. Overall, I think it should be damn illegal for anyone to match you with someone, especially some program run by a school.What I'm getting down to is that Valentine's Day shouldn't even exist in the first place. It's only for people already in a relationship, and those who are single are completely left out and it makes them (well, me at least...) feel like they have to be dating somebody on Valentine's Day or they fail at life. No, I'm not just jealous of those who have dates and stuff, but to make a love holiday universal in a community just isn't right.

Normally I use iTunes, since I have a Mac too, but for listening the music that I didn't necessarily get "the right way" I'll use QuickTime Player or just upload it to a file-upload site and listen to it via stream.

Honestly I think that they should have at least some proof relating to the specified student of the person being involved with drugs. It's one thing to see a bag of weed right outside someone's locker or a classroom, and it's another to see some person wearing all black and hand-cuffs on their belt (any other of that kind of stuff too) and to immediately call someone after them for suspicion. Several times I've had to take a long test asking "Do you take drugs?" "Do you take marijuana?" "Do you take weed?" "How often do you smoke pot?" kinds of things, and it's quite repetitious and irrelevant to the majority of the students who attend the school. I wouldn't be surprised if 1-10 students out of a 2000 populated school were on drugs of some kind, and I don't blame the school administration for wanting to know who those students are and wanting to settle it. However, it isn't right to bring the subject of drugs in the first place to the attention of the entire school. So, basically, it's good that charge is being made, but something should be changed about how they do it. Getting sniff dogs and police involved as a first step should never be the case unless proof of the student being inspected has already been found.

You can't honestly blame the students attending the school for being stuck up and arrogant about where they get their education. First of all, take into consideration the types of parents they might have. Is it really some kid's fault that their parents make them go to some school where there's automatic toilets and the average classroom size is 10 students? In most cases the answer is no. Parents want the best for their children (well, most of the time...) and if they have the money to afford the best, they'll deliver. Now, even if it isn't the parents' fault (although, how many children really grow up wanting to go to a private school?) think about the policies and rules at the private school. Dress codes, no real freedom, and teachers who watch each student like a hawk watching its prey. I went to a private school from pre-school (Yes, they actually have private pre-schools) all the way to 6th grade until I told my parents that I wanted to go to a school where there was a larger community of people to associate with, and where I could actually see what real life was like. Real life isn't perfectly organized and a real school doesn't have 99% of the students getting straight A's. Real life is about learning from mistakes, and a real school's average is more like in the B range. The curriculum at a school usually influences on the students who attend it, and don't allow the students to lead their real goals. All of that being said, are you still angry at the stuck-up kids who attend private schools and think they're better than everyone else, or do you now realize that instead of despising their arrogance that you should pity them for not being able to make their own decisions?

The only reason Link is right-handed on the Wii version of Twilight Princess is because the majority of the human population is dominant in their right hand, so they'd probably use the Wii remote in their right hand when playing the game. To avoid confusion or any illogical gameplay, they flipped not only Link, but the ENTIRE game over (aside from text of course) from the original Gamecube version.Note: Yes, the Wii version was released a month before the Gamecube version came out, but production of the game originated on the Gamecube, therefore it is a platform game for the Wii.

360PS2WiiWhy not PS3 like the other "current-gen consoles"? Because my opinion about it is that it's just the PS2 combined with the PSP to make one big expensive console that has very few games, and not much potential for its 360 competitor. The Wii is in its own competition with itself since you just can't compare it to the 360 or PS3, so I'm not going to go into that whole debate... Let's just leave it at that the Wii was meant for including more people in gameplay, and the 360 and PS3 concentrate more on hardcore gamers.

While there are other games on the PS2 that I really like, because Guitar Hero is one of the ones mentioned, I voted for it. You just can't go wrong with a video game that has a huge collection of famous songs that everybody (except hippies of course) loves, and allows those unable to play real guitar to experience it in a unique and awesome way. I have Guitar Hero 2 for the PS2, and Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii. While GH3 has online, I never get bored of playing GH2.

I live in a town where girls generally make a first impression on people based on what they wear; not what they look like, not their personality, etc. I know all girls aren't like this, but sometimes I think that it's just me that can't express who I really am to the opposite gender. I've had friends who are girls before, but that was in elementary school and early middle school, and now I'm in high school where things are a bit more serious. I general tend to hang out with my friends in an area separate from where most of the people are, and our entire group consists of boys. We never really discuss girls, and I have a really great feeling that the majority of the school sees us (although primarily me) as nerds, and/or outsiders. Sure, we like video games and we're good at school, but we aren't completely ignorant in terms of society. The thing is, out of all of the people in the group of friends I hang out with, I've been ignored the most by other people, especially girls. I think this would be a wise place to note that I used to go to a private school until 7th grade, when I transferred to a public school where I knew absolutely nobody. The first person to confront me was a girl, but later in the year she left and I had to make new friends on my own. I guess it would have been smarter to change to public school at the beginning of middle school... Anyways, I really started off on the wrong foot. An example of being completely ignored would be an occurrence a few months ago. A girl who was in my 8th grade English class was walking by (apparently she's in a photography class of some sort) me and my friends, and walked up to one of my friends who has the same name as me, who was also in my 8th grade English class. She directed conversation to him, starting off by saying, "Hey ____, weren't you in my English class before?" and offered to take a picture with him for a project she was doing. I qualified for the same "position", but was treated like a pebble among the hundreds of other pebbles on the ground. So at this point, I get to thinking that it really is my attire that turns people away from interacting with me. Being completely honest, I normally wear a navy blue sweatshirt over a striped shirt, then dark pants (not jeans like 99% of the population) and 2-year old sneakers. It's not a goth look or anything, it's just clothing I wear so I feel comfortable; I don't care what other people think of me unless they base their entire impression of my on what I wear. After going past the clothes, I remember all of the times I've been referred to as "ugly". Never by a girl, but by other jerks who think they're better than the whole world and don't honestly have a care for other peoples' feelings. I've been told multiple times by family members that I'm handsome and blah blah blah, then a while ago when I had the guts to actually take a picture of myself and show one or to rather close friends on the internet what I look like, and I asked if I was "ugly" and told them to be honest, they said I just looked like any other guy. Finally, the reason I'm making this thread and the advice I want is this: What can I do to be less "reflective" of other people without having to change my personality?

I currently own:- Wii- PS2- Nintendo 64- PSP- Nintendo DS Lite- Game Boy Advance SP- Game Boy Advance- Game Boy Color- Game Boy Pocket- Game Boy (Original)I used to own:- Xbox 360- PS1- Gamecube*stares at piles and piles of games stacked against the wall*Wow... I never realized how expensive playing video games was until now. :oEdit: The last game I bought was Rock Band for the PS2, and my first game ever was Super Mario Land 2 on the Game Boy.

If anybody is looking for the real list of characters in the game, go ahead and highlight the following: I honestly can't wait for this game to come out. There's hundreds, if not thousands, of videos on YouTube showing gameplay of it, and it's absolutely incredible. They've really outdone themselves with the singler player; it has over 30 levels, in ADDITION to a Classic, Adventure, and All-Star mode! March 9th, everybody! (well, for North America at least...)

Anyone want to take a look at the Nintendo DS run there? Yep, I did the run for Metroid Prime Hunters. I'm very involved in speed running and I'm pretty much programmed to beat a game as fast as I can once I beat it once or twice, out of sheer boredom I suppose. It's quite fun to race against the clock, especially if you try hard enough to make a world record.

After having beaten Guitar Hero 2, Guitar Hero 3, and Rock Band (Guitar) all on Expert, I can easily say that while most people think they're just the same except for the songlists, they are NOT. Not only are the controllers extremely different from one another, but the way the note-sets are constructed for each song varies. Ever since I started getting into the "music rhythm" genre of games, it's astounded me how fast I went from Easy to Expert, and how it makes you realize how hard it is to play the guitar (or drums, or sing) in real life. I truly respect people who play the real guitar and the drums a lot more. Back to the controllers, there's a big difference between the GH3 controller and the original GH2 controller. The fret buttons on the GH3 controller push down a lot easier, and the strum bar is less stiff so you don't have to work as hard to double-strum. On the other hand, the whammy bar is very loose, and it's rather annoying to keep lifting it back up when you want to use it for long notes that give you star power. >.< The GH2 controller, although the frets can be pushed into the guitar pretty far, it's sometimes useful if you're really giving it your all to beat a song, and your fingers are at the point of crying from so much pain. The Rock Band's guitar controller is darn near impossible to strum with, since the bar is very flimsy and it always feels like it'll break in your hands if you try to move it too much. On the other hand, the upper fret buttons for solos are very, very useful for tapping. As for the style of gameplay, Guitar Hero 3 is definitely the easiest in terms of being able to hit an individual note, especially a hammer-on/pull-off. For GH2 and Rock Band, you have to hit every note practically on the dot in order for it to register. Guitar Hero 2 and Rock Band (For the most part...) have easier-to-hit note-sets in exchange for having to be more accurate with notes, though. Some of the songs in GH3 are pretty much impossible unless you take hours and hours of your life to get through just one part of the song. (Through the Fire and Flames on Expert, for example x_x) Overall, however, all three of these games (and the original GH of course) are incredibly awesome, and I'm pretty much addicted to them now. I don't think I'll stop playing them as much as I do now until Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out, actually.
