  1. Ok, perhaps I shouldn't add this.. So if anybody has a problem with it, tell a moderator to remove the link. I personally find it funny and anybody who takes it seriously is seriously weird and needs to get out more https://www.asciipr0n.com/
  2. Ok. To embed flash onto a website. Go into the <body> section of your HTML code, and insert this:<object width="INSERT WIDTH OF MOVIE IN PX HERE" height="INSERT HEIGHT OF MOVIE IN PX HERE"><param name="movie" value="NAME + LOCATION OF FILE.swf"><embed src="LOCATION, NAME OF MOVIE AGAIN.swf" width="WIDTH HERE AGAIN" height="HEIGHT HERE AGAIN"></embed></object>That is the core code (minimal code, the least you need to have a working flash movie show). You can customise around the code, e.g. put <center>, <div> & other tags around it. But do NOT put any tags between the <embed> (e.g. between <object ...> and <param>. Always put them outside, e.g. <div class=movie position=absolute .. <object><param><embed></embed></object></div>If you are using Macromedia (or should I say Adobe) Flash, you can just go File -> Publish, and then Flash creates the file for you automatically.
  3. I appreciate the simplicity of the web directory, unlike some of the ones out there the navigation is core and simple, without huge graphics and javascript scripts slowing the page down. The banner and edging is simple, but could do with improvement. I personally don't find the greeny aqua colour very attractive, and the cyan and red are slightly painful on my eyes. Cyan is a colour I use minimally, and definitely not on large letters. It is bright, and not pretty when looked at for a while. However, the contrast with the darkish red is the main point of aescetic challenge in the banner. Choose either cyan or red, not both. Red and black are commonly seen, cyan and black is rarer but may affect the "professionalism" of the site.Other point is about content. Yes, its a new directory and you're waiting for people to discover it and such, but you don't need to wait for them. Surf around the net, link any good sites you find. People will be more willing to come back if there is an impressive range of sites on there. Some interactivity might also attract more people - have votes on how good the sites are, add polls, boards, quizzes and other mentally unchallenging trivial diversions. People like those :DHope that was of some help.jet
  4. Your arguments are understandable, though you would do well to link them together and relate them to each other more. Was the point of this post to see whether we thinnk a generation gap exists? Technically soud, because the whole point of "generation" would be lost if there were no gap between parents and sons .. But attitude-wise, it all depends on where you were brought up. If your parents were part of the 60's hippie movement and such, there would not be too much of a gap because hippiedom was basically teenagedom forever. Hippie parents would be happy to let their child have as much freedom as they wanted. Ex-hippie parents may either let them have reasonable freedom or none at all, according to how they now view their former life. Non hippies may do the same, being reasonable and ignoring what happened with the hippie movement and letting their children have their personal space or lock them up in case they become modern day hippies. Though we call them juvenile delinquents or something along those lines.Hippies, of course, are not the only thing affecting the existence (or non-existence, depending on your view) of the generation gap. Many modern day parents were brought up under "Victorian" conditions, having to do everything right and proper. Depending on how well they understood and agreed with those conditions, they may have turned into the obese 50-somethings who live to smoke and drink beer as "revenge", you could almost say, on their former lives, or they may be responsible parents bringing up their children with or without the same amount of rigidness.It is my belief that those afore mentioned middle aged, lazy parents (having become so by the aforementioned reason or otherwise) do not usually produce a generation gap. Those people usually marry people of the same idyllic personality, and common sense tells you that their characteristics, being both the same, will end up concentrated in their children. So their children grow up with the same lazy ideals and goals in life, becoming almost clones of their parents. If they are the same, there is obviously no generation gap.The main generation gap exists not between the younger people of today, who for the most part get along tolerably well with their parentals, but between the parents and grandparents. The mid 90's was the main era of social revolution, of becoming less "upright and proper" and more relaxed in their ways of life. The parents of people growing up then, most likely our grandparents (or perhaps even great-grandparents) would have been brought up under very different social conditions. The classes (lower, middle and upper) rarely intermingled, and there was basically a rule for everything, a right way to do everything. Our parents, after the social reforms, would have been much freer in their lives and decisions. Their parents, however, having grown up and lived for so long under more oppressive conditions, would not really be able to change like the teenagers/young adults. To roughly quote from the Matrix - "they cannot free their minds".To finish off this brief argument (I've left out many points which could be covered), the generation gap both exists and does not exist. Like most things, the generation gap is a natural thing which occurs and is induced by certain circumstances, like the coat of an arctic fox turning white in winter.
  5. Well, obviously, if you know who hosts this site, you can report it to them and they'll close the sight if it really is illegal. If they run their own server its slightly more complicated though. You have to have a petition or something with a number of signatures before the authorities will actually listen to you where I am, but that may just be the crappy little place where I live. If the website only infected you with a virus, you don't really have a strong case against anything though.. It is very hard to prove that the website is there for the sole purpose of infecting its visitors, and they can always claim (and sometimes its actually true) that somebody else infected their site/server so it wasn't their fault in the first place. Ok.. What the hell happened there.. Can a moderator or somebody please remove the repeated content? Thanks in advance.. Done When I hit edit it inserted it again so I think there may be a bug... - moonwitch
  6. You mean when you try to log in? I believe 403's are usually caused by wrong or lack of usernames and passwords.
  7. Oil is something our modern lives cannot live without. But yes, I think there are probably some better ways than putting a huge plastic pipe through the environment. It would be good for draining, except when the oil comes it would be worse than just a normal stormwater flood.. And none of the caveclan live in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia or Turkey anyway. So I agree, the pipeline is a horrible idea.
  8. But most of those effects only work in IE, and so the "look" of the site is totally lost for the large droves of people (myself included) that use other browsers like Mozilla Firefox. Dynamic Drive provides some nice codes for menus, calenders and such but the Internet.Com JavaScript Site has a lot more content.
  9. Cinema 4D? Why would you call a 3d modelling program 4d? Or did I miss something (as usual)? Anyway, very nice pictures. I like the screwdriver scorpions ^^
  10. They started developing internet 2 ages back.. Anyway, they're hoping that in future people would be able to do all sorts of things through an internet connection, like hooking up VR sets to your internet so you could "virtually" meet somebody on the other side of the world and stuff like that. I think it's all a plot to put us into the Matrix
  11. I think you gamey programming people should put up a continuous how-to-make-a-game tutorial thing (ie make a thread and keep adding content (not comments) to it) and delete all the trashy posts that say "Help-me-I-want-to-make-a-game".
  12. A friend of mine is using Thunderbird.. I don't use email clients though, I prefer logging on and off on the email websites (mostly because I have rather nosy parents). But its a good list, though you seem to have forgotten links to where these programs can be downloaded, so I did it instead Click here for Foxmail Click here for Thunderbird Geminisoft Pimmy Pegasus Mail
  13. If its legal, its probably allowed.. But keep in mind that MP3's are the root of evil for bandwidth suckers
  14. When you sign up, no matter how many creds you had before signing up you get reset to 5 days of hosting once your hosting account is activated. Hope that helped!
  15. 2.0.14 is phpBB2. Not that hard to work out, really.. Anyway, the newest version (2.0.15) got released approximately 11 days ago.
  16. It really depends how much you're expecting to pay and the type of work you want to use them for. For studio type work, where you record, put the recordings together and modify them to make a track you'd be expecting to pay about US$300 +. At our studio we use ProTools, which is a pretty good program. If you just want to do more basic stuff, like make the track louder here and there, fade in or out and add a few basic effects, there's plenty of free programs out there. One of the most popular ones is Audacity, and another one I like for its sheer simplicity is WavePad, but WavePad only works in Windows.
  17. So you're basically saying that all camera's in the AXIS Networks are connected to the internet and vieweable by outside sources with no authentication or pass required :)I'll be careful when I buy my security cameras, I think..
  18. Older phones are going out of fashion incredibly quickly.. It's always the rush for the new model, and all you need is your SIM card and away you go. There's some special kind of metal used in phones which is mined in Uganda or some other African country like that, and here we've been asked to recycle our phones because the mining (as the mine expands with more need for the metal) is destroying the habitat of some kind of ape. So theoretically if we recycle our phones, the need for the metal will decrease and the apes will come back and stuff. The seed idea is like that - good in theory, perhaps, but not great in practise. The practical side of the recycling involves driving for 35 mins to and from this factory/plant where they can recycle the phones, and these days with time being so precious and all and especially the high petrol fees (where we are, anyway) not many people are recycling their phones. The bin just seems so.. Convenient.
  19. I have never used a separate bandwidth monitor because we have one supplied by the ISP, but maybe https://m'>this page will be able to help.
  20. Hmm. I seem to be unique. Not that I expected merkurdrachen to really come up with anything but me.. But hey.. It could have been interesting.

    Hello!

    Hello.. Is your name really ramfan or do you just like horny sheep that much? 0.o
  22. Click.. Click.. Ooohh.. o.0What an.. um.. interesting whiteboard. It looks like some kind of lab.. Temperature says -17 or something. Nice find, AlPal ^^ So what exactly is an AXIS Network?
  23. I believe the answer to both of them is yes.. Unless it is specified you can't do so and so, you probably can.
  24. Yes, I think it does only work for Windows XP Pro.. I'm at school and it doesn't work on these. So the guys at microsoft have a sense of humour
