  1. When im bored, I often think about what I would do in obscure situations, like fires blocking lots of different places. So I have worked out what I would do in a fire situation, yet I dont have a written fire action plan.
  2. Certainly not. I rely on the internet for everything.And since more and more common devices are being controlled by internet protocols, fewer and fewer people could live without the internet.
  3. One way I have noticed works, is using simple logical or mathematical problems. something like a simple addition problem (as simple as 8+5) is shown (in captcha) or you will have to write something backwards, or substitute all of one letter for another.Because of the vast amount of problems that can be used, and because it envolves reading sentences which can be written in many diiferent ways, it would take a very long time to develop anything which can even get past the prblem 1 time in 1000.Although the problems would be very easy for a person to solve.
  4. The new myCENTs system is great - It provides services that are useful fore people who already have a host. For instance the domain names, which are useful even though I already have paid hosting I am happy with.The prices are very reasonable too!
  5. I think I will, I have bought all of the gameboy series (more than one of some) as I am a great fan of hand held gaming.I bought both the PSPs and the original DS, but I didn't like the look of the DS lite, so I never bought it. Although i think the DSI looks cool, the camera is rubbish resolution, but still sounds fun.I think ill be buying one.
  6. Its bad that a company would charge for such a service - fixing a problem which is obviously a fault with the products design, as it happens to many people. But it is most likely a buildup of moisture or dirt, under the keys or on a connector somewhere.
  7. Im surprised that such an experiment would be allowed. I mean; what happens if you get I very intelligent, human, with some monkey characters, is not going to be fair on that child/whatever you want to cal it.And some people donating just to get a small amount of money out of it, may get more than they bargained for if it works!
  8. As much as that is very convincing evidence, I dont believe microsoft would use pirate software. It could bring down microsoft.The company could sue, then it would be all over the media, they would loose millions if not billions.Maybe they bought the sounds off some company which used pirate software, or something.
  9. The problem with software encryption, as that malware can disable it, or find the keys that are being used.hardware encryption is much better, as it can have protection to make sure it cannot be disabled, or just turn the device off if it detects an attack.
  10. Wow. I think running away from home is a bit much, just because they couldn't play on an XBOX.Although the article on he website wasn't very detailed, it didn't say whether they were near there house and were abducted or something.Its just proof that technology is taking over.
  11. I know this sounds stupid, but most of the things i do, I just use notepad!I dont like using WYSIWYG editors, because I find they over complicate the code.And I dont like using code highlighting software, or code editors with "add ins" as they distract me from the workings of the code.Also, when was the last time (under reasonable conditions) you saw notepad crash?
  12. I think they came at the same time, as the chicken would have gradually evolved, through natural selection etc. With species becoming more and more like chickens gradually. So i think the egg would come first if you mean the exact chicken as we know it.
  13. They should make you enter a captcha on login, then send a session cookie, that way, you only have to enter it once each time you log in.Although that would mean possibility of bots being logged in by the makers, then left to roam free, so there could be a detection system, which would check if a user was - changing chat room a lot - most of the things the user said contained a link - they often link to the same website - they say similar things a lot
  14. A text based game, will use little bandwidth, so will load very fast.You needn't worry about slow connection.
  15. 1 - they just tell the browser what the data is for.2 - you have to go to a search engine, and submit your site to be indexed, for this to work well, use a meta tag, to tell the index-bot which pages to index.3 - yes, you can use .GIFs alternatively, you can use javascript for a slideshow4 - the best way is just using he <center> tag to position something horizontally, or you can create a table, like this:<table width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="center"> <tr><td width="100%" height="100%">Content you want centering</td></tr></table>Which will fill the whole page, and center anything in the single cellin CSS, you could set the objects margin left and margin-right to auto for horizontal, then set its top to 50%
  16. Yes, you should use a database, one way of setting it out would be tohave 2 tables for each user. 1 for incoming messages, one for outgoing.The incoming table's columns could be - subject - sender - date sent - status (read unread or replied) - message contentThe outgoings table's columns could be - subject - user message is to - date received - read, unread or reply received - message contentOr you could merge the two, and have columns like these: - sender - receiving user - subject - date sent - read, unread or replied - message content - message type (sent or received)
  17. Could you be more specific, I don't really understand the problem.Its a lot easier to help if people know the full problem, and how to reproduce it, as well as what happens in full.
  18. The easiest way to solve the problem, wouold just be to delete the account (saving the files to your account which works) then re-make the accounts, and copy the files over.
  19. I think the problem may lie in that particular IE configuration, sounds like either that site is an untrusted site by Microsoft or the browser is set to only allow trusted pages.IE does have its disadvantages, as does windows. But due to the amount of software not yet supported by mac, its often impractical to use a mac, or any other OS.
  20. The key to making money online, is just to have a good idea, which is useful to people, which you can either - provide for free - or is worth paying forHowever much effort you pour into a bad idea, you wont make much out of it.Although even with a good idea, you need to work hard, if you have a good idea, but dont use it well, another person will use it, and make a better version.
  21. Well, when i started learning PHP, I bought a few books on it, the two I found very useful, were The PHP and MySQL bible (Converse & park with Morgan), which is very detailed information about most of the language, and PHP and MySQL web development third edition (Welling Thompson), Which includes many exemples like a forum, which are useful for setting up a large website.Of corse the web is a very helpful resource too, w3schools is a very useful site, and just typing problems into google is very useful.However, I personally often find web tutorials are not detailed enough, and dont explain how things work, or explain in enough detail how to do more useful things with what they teach you to do. But the web is useful for the odd tip.
  22. I did the same as I always do when learning a new language.I look for a good tutorial an a reputable site, and learn some of the basics from that.Then I get some source code from free source code sites, and customize it to learn how it works, and how to change it etc.Then I bought a couple of books about it, to help learn the difficult stuff, as i often ind the web tutorials not very helpful, and make you assume stuff way to much.One of the books I bought was the PHP and MySQL bible, and its brilliant, I have bought a few books from that range, and they are all really good!
  23. yes, Xisto is the best forum i know!I found it a couple of times on Google, while searching for web site coding tips, I don't ever read forums for things like that. but I saw traap17 pop up a few times, and when i was searching for a free web host, Xisto popped up on Google! its a brilliant forum, with the web hosting as well!And now with the new credit system update, its even better!
  24. As far as i know, there is no way of doing that, I would suggest you post saying that you want your account deleted (use an obvious subject) and an admin may be able to do that. Then just make a new account.
  25. There are many free converters out there, which convert common files to PDF.I have an application which works in a similar way to the document image writer, which writes the file as PDF it came with a lexmark printer software package.If you want good control over the entire document and its layout etc, it is best to use the official PDF writer.
