  1. Using a piece of javascript which outputs the information depending on the browser is stupid.This means the bowser must download all versions of your site, as well as the script, what you need, is a script that detects your browser, then redirects you to the right page for your browser. however, if it if just a few tags which arent working with a lot of browsers, then a single page aproach may be better
  2. Sony ericson.Nokia use to be good, but dont make good phones any more, sony ericson is stil good and up to date.
  3. It would not be good to stop faulty genes being created, as "faulty" really refers to a gene which is not normal, remember that humans must evolve and change with the earth to survive. and therefore, that "faulty" gene, may be part of natures way to protect us from global warming or something.
  4. You cant really call that hacking, hacking generally means gaining access to it and manipulating it.You are simply feeding it some extra information, to find very specific files.Im not sure if its legal, but i have seen many a tutorial on how to do thaton youtube!personally, i think you should just get files legally, no one wants to see google having to remove advanced search features ect. as google is brilliant!!
  5. Yes, google have released google chrome since i crated this thread.Also, yes, they have created an operating system, and type of computer, but it is aimed at business, not at people who need a general purpose computer.
  6. One way to make a compressed folder idiot proof (i dont know if this works on anything but windows)Rename the compressed zipped folder, and remove the .zip bit, so that windows doesnt recognise it, it will no display a corrupted file, to get it back, rename it and add the .zip bit back.I cant guarantee this will work, dot try it on anything important, and dont blame me if it goes wrong!
  7. Well, i certainly do think it is an invasion of privacy, but living in a country area, am not greatly effected by it where i live.they suposedly do greately decrease the amount of crime in some areas. I think, that if they ork, then it is fine that they are there, watching, but, i think the people running them should not use wireless technology, but only secure cables carrying encrypted data, as it would not be good for someone to intercept the data and use it.Second, i think, that recordings should only be kept for a week or someth9ing, i know they can be used much later than that, but its not nice to think, that anything you do on the street, is going to sit in an office for years on end.
  8. I dont have time to write the code right now, but if you want i may be able to another time.I would suggest making each drawer a <DIV> and control ints position by CSS, make sure its position is absolute.Then, set the background images to a closed drawer.As well as adding the top and bottom of the drawer after for a good look.The, in the DIVs attributes, onmouseover, use javascript to hide the closed drawer, and make a div with an open draw visible.Then, as the open draw is a background image, with some basic formatting (indent ect.) you can put liks over the draw.
  9. Well, Here are a few suggestions:To make the site beter, and make sure people come back. - Dont use frames, instead use <div>s, possitioned by CSS, as frames are quite incompatible with some browsers. - I found your navigation bar very annoying, make things more somple, have say, five catagories, containing sub-catagories, thhis makes it easier to find what you want, without reading the entire thing, most people wont want to read the whole thing. - Also, put in some controls for the sound, many people get annoyed by the sound, maybe have a link at the top of the page to turn the sound on/off. I noticed you are using a plugin which is larger than needed, you are using a video plugin, you should change the attributes to make it beter for playing audio, so that there will be no visual stuff in the player, this way, you can put it at the top, as many people wont think to look at the bottom to turn off the sound! - It apears you are using an iframe for the homepage, inside your frameset, this looks bad, as the scrolbar doesnt fit the sites theme, as well as frames are bad as i said above, atleast get rid of the scrollbar an border on the iframe.To make the site more popular, make sure you have good META tags in your code, and submit it to lots of search engines.
  10. Ok, well mopst people will tell you to use a piece of javascript. But this is much less useful, than a simple attribute in the <body> tag of your page. A javascript type defence has many problems - Someone may disable javascript to get round it - you are not protected against people pressing the menu button on their keyboard - you can chnage mouse buttons to right click, and most scripts only protect against button 2 - people with three button mice, often get round these scripts you said you wanted an alert saying "bad move" or something, so i will give you code to disable the context menu, then to cause the alert, this is most effective. To cause the context menu to not-apear when someone right clicks on your page, simply, use this in your <body> tag. oncontextmenu="return false;" your body tag may look like this: <body bgcolor="112233" onmousedown="coordinates(event)" oncontextmenu="return false;"> Ok, this will not disable the "page" menu in IE 7 ect. I dont think there is a way to disable that, but it will disable the context menu. Now for the script. This code will cause an alert to appear, if any mouse button is clicked, other than button one. <script type="text/javascript">function coordinates(event){if (event.button==1) {}else {alert("bad move");}}</script>This should be placed in the head section, and run onmousedown. However, this script will say "bad move" even on click of the middle button, fo people who want to use autoscroll, will not be le to, and will have to scroll manually, with the mouse wheel. This code, will only say "bad move" if button two is pressed, remember, this is even easier to evade than the previous script. <script type="text/javascript">function coordinates(event){if (event.button==) {alert("bad move");}else {}}</script> Here is a sample of what the page could look like: <html><head><script type="text/javascript">function coordinates(event){if (event.button==1) {}else {alert("bad move");}}</script><title>my Photo Gallery</title></head><body bgcolor="112233" onmousedown="coordinates(event)" oncontextmenu="return false;"><p>Content goes here</p></body></html> Note that none of the scripts above will cause the alert if the menu buttonis pressed, if you want that to trigger the alert, replace oncontextmenu="return false;"with something like oncontextmenu="functionabc()";Then create a javascript function with that name, that causes an alert like this: <script type="text/javascript">function functionabc(){alert("Bad move")}</script> Remember that you cant ever really stop people steeling your code or imagesm, there is always a way, i wont list the ways, but im sure you can imagine. one great way round this, is simple text. Simply make sure, you write at the bottom of the page, what people are allowed to use your images/content for, and make sure you put author information in HTML comment tags in your code. You said you wanted to make a navigation menu, I am happy to help you, but could you provide some more information as to what you want. (do you want to use images, do you want something to change colour when you hover over it ect.)
  11. Hi. ** note: i did create this topic before, but under a stupid name, so i didnt get replies. Sorry about that :S ** Im new to perl and CGI could someone tell me how to run CGI on Xisto free hosting. I have created a programme which look like print "<p>Hi</p>"; i tried saving it in notepad as "test.cgi" but it saved as a text document, named "test.cgi" I tried putting it in the "cgi-bin" area, on the free web hosting ftp. but when i ran it, it said it couldnt find it. could someone help me. Also, how do you use the first line like: #! usr/bin/perl

  13. Hi, im sure im being stupid and missing something obvious.But i cant get my site to work :)The original index.html page says to put pages in "public_html"But when i do that, and try to access the page, i see the original index.html file.any suggestions, sorry, cant really be more specific, i dont really understand whats going on! :S
  14. I agree, it has gone too far. And i am not atall racist or anything like that.It just really anoys me when i get called racist because i describe someone is ginger, in a wheelchail, dark skin, light skin.its not racist unless you say its bad, or treat someone differently because of it.Just because i say that someone i know is dark skinned, doesnt mean i think its a bad thing. And another very annoying thing is, when people think that people with ginger hair are a different race GRRRRR.And then there are things like school tests, for a start of, they use them in annoying places, i may know that "nita" is a name not a mathematical term, but some people have been known to make that mistake.And we have indian names in our maths test, so why no other names, why not korean? or any other coutry. Its one thing to say that all countries have the same rights and that we should make children aware of other ethnical groups by putting foreign names in school tests and other obscure places (i think this is stupid, as no-one stops to think about the names in a maths test), but its another to say that then only include one nationality.Please not: I am not
  15. I have the internet explorer 8 beta 1. Its genuine advantage software (you can get it when you proove you version of windows is legal).its even worse at positioning page elements than any of there others.and was three times less reliable.I really hope microsoft can fix it,m because at the moment, verson 4 is beter than 8.
  16. I boughts norton internet security, and not olnly is it useless, it destroyed my system.As soon as i installed it, it ran fine "Wow. ?50 well spent"but after the second restart, my system ran slowly, most of my network/internet applications were caput. My system ran slowly, and my network printing. out of the question.after a couple more re-boots, it was time to re-install my OS.I chose to keep my documents. And I only formatteed the drive with windows on it.It ran ok, with minimal drivers installed (graphics card, motherboard, wireless internet/network)It was when i tried to watch TV, or run games it was still not working.So i re-install windows again, this time deleting all partitions, and reformatting all drives, and deleting my documents. After all my device drivers and applications were on - Fine!Norton wrecked my system, and caused me a lot of inconvieniece.Also, i was not pleased when my ISP automatically replaced the free spyware remover it installs wih the internet package with.Wait for it.....norton!Again, my system, became prisoner of norton.And then google starts giving it away with the google pack.Luckily you dont have to install it.
  17. There is a non-lite version, i hate the DS lite, I only ever use my normal one, amd i have the browser for that. Although it doesnt support multiple pages, and cookies ect. It basic, but works.
  18. I have tried IE 8. You can get the bete 1 version from microsoft if you validate some of their software as genuine.i was not atall impressed - most of pages i normally use, look messy, images ect were aligned wrong, and outside of their containing parents, and it didnt seem to think much of my javascript! IE is also terrible being reliable (much worse with IE8beta1) It crashes atleast 5 times a day if i use it all day. It doesnt suport things like BLINK tag, it doesnt have support for some CSS attributes. And its normally slower than all the other browsers i use.
  19. Wells its not really a script, its a proxy server, whereby, a user inouts a URL into your site, then your site, downloads that site, and sends it to them. thus, the site's, server's IP address is logged by the site the user is accessing, rather than their own.
  20. Well, although you cant say that in any way, that, that isnt a stupid thing to do, most people who do these things, just do it as a bid for fame, just so they can be known, no matter what reason. However, doing anything for that reason which harms you is stupid in my opinion.
  21. I recenty have given teleportation a lot of thought.And i think that really, it is impossible.Think of the amount of enerygy you would need, to actually, instantly, destroy, then recreat mater in a different place (one way of doing it) it would soon destroy the earth (maybe).And surely, this mode of travel wont be without side-effects, whats to say that being transported through time and space wont destroy our brains. and what if only half of us gets telported, you end up with legs at one end....Surely the process of perfecting it would be very dangerous (if it were actually possible)And it would probably be banned.
  22. Well first of all, im not going to track you down and try to kill you for the remark about humans becoming extinct, or about people never being born.Because, I really dont think it would matter. If were extinct, theres no-one to know were extinct, we dont think "damn, should'a' seen that'n' comin'," And if a load of people wernt born, they dont sit there saying "damn, those selfish pigs didn't let me live," (well, i dont think so myself anyway).We hear all these speaches about global warming, the industry goes mad and scoops up to oportunity to make people buy their products to make them feel good about themselves or not feel bad. But, im sure someone more knowledgeable in science will tell me my next bit is impossible. But i just wonder, what if nature clears things up?Personally, i dont beleive some all loving, all knowing, all powerful force create the world, or had any part in it. SO i believe we evolved from apes. So, why cant we simply eveolve to handle greater heat, and be able to breath, even with vast amounts of emisions floating around in the air. Obviously, this would take a very very very long time to gradually happen, but global warming is going to destroy the world instantly. So whats to say we cant adapt.And if we cant adapt naturally, this planet is home to many many very very, intelligent people. Whats to say they cant build some miracle wachine which can destroy matter, thus meaning we can just turn pollution into nothingness.And im sure people are aware of the theories about antimatter, whats to say we wont start creating energy, by creating antimatter, and letting it loose on matter, producing photon energy. If we could mass produce photon energy, we wouldn't need another power source (obviously, that would be a lot of photon energy required). Im sure someone will tell me that that also is impossible!but we already have catilic (im not sure how you spell that!) converters on cars, converting the poluting gasses to carbon dioxide and water. Maybe using platinum is nt the way forward, as there is so little of it on the planet. But surely, there is a way of deveolping something which will atleast have a fair effect on global warming.And, ofcourse, you cant rule out, that global warming, simply isnt true!Many Many Many people say that is a myth, just another theory, yet to be disproved.Or that it has been created by the media to generate income.Or that the industry has created this, which cant be ruled out, as it has greatly benfitted thousands of companies, tey just sell things claiming to be "energy efficient" your car may well produce "fewer emisions" people will pay a lot to feel good about them selves, or not feel bad about not trying to save the enviorment. And really, in the big picture, masses of factories polluting 24/7, thousands upon housands of worldwide power-stations, burning fossil fuels and polluting, millions of people driving cars long distances daily. Does you driving a hybrod car, or using your washing machine in "energy efficiency mode" really make that much difference - of course not. Obvoiously, for these things to make a difference, everyine, or atleast a hell of a lot of people are going to have to do these things. But even then, does it really make a difference?And lots of people believe we will find another planet to live on. But consider that so far, there are no plans to move to mars, or anywhere else. And, then, think, what if the mo0olanding WAS faked? I personally believe it was. So, it could well be impossible to leave and go to another planet, because of the rings of radiation surrounding the earth. It was predicted, that the walls of a space craft would have to be atleast six feet think, and made of lead, for the rings of radiation to not be deadly.Now considder, how do you move a vast amount of people, to a planet, that is so far away, we haven't yet discovered it?infact, the only way, would be, to continue living, for many generations, while travelling to another planet (yes, thats what i mean, people would be having babies, while in space)Then, how would civilisation be created? We wouldnt be able to bring cement and bricks with us to another planet. How do we build? Whats to say that the planet is made of rock that is right for building?And then, surely, even if it was possible to move civilisation to another planet, can humans live in space, we cant prove that the absence of gravity, wont kill up gradually, or that something different about the planet wont.And even if we survived that, WE WOULD JUST DESTROY ANOTHER PLANET. And yes, people will say "oh yes, but if it did happed, we would learn from the mistake, and live differently." Personnally, i think not, great amounts of people realy on technology to keep the alive, many more need it to work ect.
  23. But technology doesnt rely on people, its not concious. So it cant be a slave of man. Yet we need technology, and we make technology, manufacture technology, deveolop technology, so in a way, we are a slave of technology.
