I'm sure many hard working hours were put into these fine signature examples. But to my untrained eyes, I can't tell the difference between filter and brush. You sig gurus have been so good that I dont' know what I should be looking for. So picking out which one fits this weeks STOW challenge was tough. But I decided to go with Flow. FtK_Shoadow's sig is impressive but I couldn't see the filter in effect. Again, to these untrained eyes what do I know? :(Flow: 1Truefusion: 2FtK_Shadow: 0S_M: 0

If you saved those emails as text or database format, you can incorporate them to new java or php based program to read off from the input file and send out emails.However, since do to the nature of email list (over a thousand) it's probably best to subscribe to external mailing list service. You may be flagged for sending out massive spam mails with thouse counts.

One Click Copy And Paste To Clipboard in simple Javascript
BuffaloHelp posted a topic in Programming
I've been search the web for few weeks to see if Java can do one click copy and paste function to the clipboard and then I can just Ctrl-V the copied "texts." I initially got this idea when I began to approve hosting application. Instead of writing the same message over and over again, I decided to make me a page where I can simply copy the code to appropriate answers. And seems like my laziness is the mother of inventions Instead of doing Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V to the post board I started to dream about a button that will select my pre-written message and copy at the stroke of one single click. I have search the web but they were either not working properly or it was way too long for me to understand and work it in with my own webpage. But accidentally I found this script that is short and does the job like no other I have ever seen. So I'd like to share it with you. <html> <head> <title>Javascript for one-click highlight and copy to clipboard</title> </head> <script language='Javascript'> function doact(d) { var doc = eval("document.readme."+d); cp = doc.createTextRange(); doc.focus(); doc.select(); cp.execCommand("Copy"); } </script> <form name="readme"> <body> <center> <TEXTAREA name="text1" cols="30" rows="5"> Your basic HTML codes can be entered here. Do not worry about HTML codes interfering with your regualr web page since the <TEXTAREA> cannot excute any codes at all. </TEXTAREA><BR> <input onclick="doact('text1')" type="button" value="Copy Code"> <BR><BR> <TEXTAREA name="text2" cols="30" rows="20"> This TEXTAREA is to demonstrate the inclusion of the second parameter. You can even skip lines or create list 1 2 3 4 5 </TEXTAREA><BR> <input onclick="doact('text2')" type="button" value="Copy Code"> </center> </body> </html> Couple of key elements you should be aware This code is currently 100% compatible with IE. I'm still working on FireFox but I was told that I need to edit pref.js in "about" page. If you read this article Security Issues with Ctrl-C and Clipboard by cse-icons and made the change to your browser you need to undo or reverse the effect when executing this script. I uploaded to my personal webspace and made only the TRUSTED site to execute this script. You can see this script in action by visiting this page. Few things I had issues when making this script working 1. Make sure that your <FORM name="*****"> is equal to var doc = eval("document.*****."+d); 2. <TEXTAREA name="text1"> is the same name in each input botton, i.e. <input onclick="doact('text1')" type="button" value="Copy Code"> 3. However it is written in the TEXTAREA is how it will appear when you Ctrl-V or paste to your page/notepad. So it will obey every format you include such as every space line, indents, tabs and even break of sentence or code. 4. I have included the secondary TEXTAREA to demonstrate the ability to add additional code copy. Since I found this code on the web I cannot take the credit for it. I merely took it apart and made it to work with what I intended. I couldn't find the author to this very short yet effective code. Perhaps one of you may know. This simple javascript was the shortest and most intuitive that I have seen so far. As soon as I get it working with FireFox I'll let you all know. -
My Review Of The Seagate 5gb Pocket Hd
BuffaloHelp replied to psychiccyberfreak's topic in Science and Technology
I like the way you field tested your device The only decent review I felt was from here https://www.bjorn3d.com/?cID=748 but never had actual simulated user's environment usage. Nice job! I am surprised how far conventional hard drives have come these days. Long ago, a user had to park the hard drive even before shutting down a computer--now it's automatic. And I'm guessing that the pocket hard drive is equipped with some kind of shot absorbing technology. Otherwise, bouncing around like that would've probably caused some cluster loss already. I wonder how much heat it generates for prolonged usage. I have to guess that it's using formal IBM, now Hitachi, micro type II CF drives. The conventional drives will not fit into that pocket size or run just from USB power. In that case, it's pretty much safe to say that it will last for a very long time--it's the same drive as iPod Mini. One thing I'd like to know is do you have to install Seagate's tool kit software for local and remote computer? The worse thing about external storage device is that sometimes it requires strict installation of provided software, otherwise the access and the data integrity cannot be guaranteed. -

I just made some graphic with transparent background, inserted to Word document and converted to PDF and did not find any discoloration as you mentioned.These were the tools used:Adobe Photoshop CSAdobe Acrobat ProMS WordBut I might have a theory. I've noticed that whenever I wanted to convert, let say a picture or a document, it does the compressing conversation before actually writing to PDF format. And I also noticed that it converts to JPG format. So essentially the PDF you created is nothing more than series of JPG pictures scrolling like a document. Well, when transparent GIF is converted to JPG we all know that the transparency cannot be preserved. JPG does not support transparent background. So, I wonder if that's what is going on with your situation. And maybe there is such a faint trace of color pallet that it shows up as shadow outline?

You can search for custom BBcodes in Invisionize.com. But basically, it's like this: You go into your ACP, administrator control panel, and go to the section called Custom BBcodes. And select Custom BBcodes manager and just create a new one. They are written using a simple HTML codes. So create DIV and IMG SRC etc to make your "NOTE" tag.For example, I made a BBcode called Gallery. I wrote it like this <img src="{content}"> and the tag argument is [ gallery]{content}[ /gallery]. You get the basic idea.

Megabits Or Megabytes? about space bandwidth of Trap17.com
BuffaloHelp replied to kingi89's topic in Web Hosting Support
M.L.,Mega means one thousand. Byte means there are eight bits. So Megabits and Megabytes are different calculation.Like Kingi89 posted, 20 megabits is 2.5 megabytes. Because you divide 20 by 8 and you get 2.5. Think of it this way, gallon vs pint. 1 gallon(US) = 8 pints(US). Although they mean the same volume it's different measuring units. So 1 Megabyte is equal to 8 Megabits. -
If Your Graphics Don't Display? Firewall problems
BuffaloHelp replied to Mich's topic in Web Hosting Support
Well, according to your post #1 in this thread, you only allowed three URLs to view your graphics. Yet, your access list was incomplete. Therefore Tyssen couldn't see it until you allowed direct access. And since your IMG SRC="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; Tyssen was, then, able to see your graphics. Actually not just Tyssen but all of us. I've just accessed your site and I can see your entire graphics just fine. This tells me that you've set your hotlink protection correctly. The reason you enter your domain name is that when graphics are viewed (requested) from your own site (like showing your page when people enter your site) you want your graphics to show. But when, for example, I use your IMG SRC link to my own site, graphics should not show up. In fact I have made a test page for you. You can disable the hotlink protection and see what happens with this page http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ -
Wrt54g V5 Loses Connection Linksys Router
BuffaloHelp replied to andrescasta's topic in Computer Networks
Well, first of all have you set your wireless router with any WEP or changed your password to your router? The reason I ask is that 98% of people don't bother to do this and this opens form someone else to enter your router setting (accidentally or purposely).Here is a scenario. Let's say you have a neighbor that has the similar wireless connection. The machine he/she is using is looking for a signal and connects to your router (since you didn't secure it with WEP or SSID hide). He/she connects but experiences slow speed and thus finds out the router's IP and either reset or a change that makes your router to reboot, so to speak. Now I know it's farfetched idea but I'm trying to look at it most innocent way.The worse scenario is that someone else is hopping on to your wireless signal without your permission and enters your router admin setting. So, try changing the login ID and password first. And, of course, set WEP key followed by hiding SSID. If you are using wireless network card all you need to do is manually enter SSID to your machine. This way, it's not broadcasting your SSID to the public but your machine can connect blindly. -
Who Is A Geek? All about Geeks and Geekdom
BuffaloHelp replied to delivi's topic in General Discussion
lmao... nice topic.Geek: A person who's studious and focuses on gathering and knowing correct facts/information for the sole purpose of being omniscient. It is usually done for self-satisfaction. However, one does not shy away from the world. Interaction with the world is one of ways to gather information. Yet, lacks the social grace to infiltrate as the norm people.Nerd: A geek without a clue of this world and social behavior. HAHHA these are my definitions and I'm sticking to it! Geeks are not only confined to computer stuff but also in other fields. You can notice them right away when you say an incorrect fact, they are eager to correct you or say the correct fact. Their social manner is something to be questioned since they lack the ability to understand that there is something called, "personal space" when talking. They may look as normal as others (no white tape around the thick black glasses, or greasy hair with zits) but their ideal world revolves around intellectual challenges rather than the beauty that is skin deep. Sure you may find them easily in Star Trek conventions and Microsoft Meet and Greet, but you can also find them tuning up the red hot sports car with the latest exhaust pipe with tricked out interior that turns into mobile living room. -
Megabits Or Megabytes? about space bandwidth of Trap17.com
BuffaloHelp replied to kingi89's topic in Web Hosting Support
There are 8 bits in 1 Byte. Normally the geek world would write them as MB for Megabyte and Mb for Megabit. That goes the same for KB (Kilobyte) and kb (kilobit). But no one really pays any attention now-a-days since saying, 3 megabits sounds larger than 375 bytes. They are the same.To answer your question regarding our hosting space: it's 20 megabytes and 150 megabytes, respectively. Just thank god that we're not still using the old Unix term, "blocks." -

If Your Graphics Don't Display? Firewall problems
BuffaloHelp replied to Mich's topic in Web Hosting Support
There's a demo cPanel page that shows how to correctly set your hotlink protection http://forums.xisto.com/topic/26954-cpanel-demo-page-for-new-applicants-and-guests/ Other searches in the forum with the keyword "hotlink" before you make a new topic. If you simply want to display your graphics without any blocking (accidental stealing) then turn the hotlink protection OFF. You do not need to go through all those settings. If you want to protect your graphics, ENABLE the hotlink protection and set your access correctly. Your current setting does not protect you from others linking to your graphics that are stored in your website. This ultimately uses up your bandwidth. It all depends on whether you are concerned with your bandwidth usage or copyright of your graphics. By your current settings, it's redundant that you have it enabled and allows all web traffic to link and view your graphics. Again, if you want to allow all then simply turn off the hotlink protection. Allow Direct Request means that if I were to enter the full URL into my address bar I can still see the image, even with hotlink protection enabled. -

Flow, I believe you're well within the sig size for the contest. If I'm reading it correctly, it's between 110x120-350x150. It would be a shame if you don't enter...your's is pretty good. -
