  1. 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.


  2. 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.


  3. the problem was resolved for 1 days.. but after that the keypad locked itself again... then he sent it to motorazr people and they did something and charged him USD 15 .. and the phone just worked fine...

    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.

  4. 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?


  5. 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


  6. 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%


  7. 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)


  8. 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.


  9. 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.


  10. 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.


  11. 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!


  12. 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!


  13. 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.
