Wow, some people here have so many consoles I've got a Wii, PSP, PS1, GBA, GBC(gave away), SNES, Sega Saturn (o_o) My favourite is the SNES still! Good times. (Tubular & the rest of that area gave me so much annoyance though!)

Mordent => I think it's somewhat obvious that the cons for deleting old topics are same as 'Cons for Deleting Old Topics' :)I think that it's fine as it is, but I would like it if there were some rules regarding 'bumping' of topics that are old, especially if the post doesn't add anything new (well there could be, but I haven't seen anything about this and this still occurs fairly often).

You wait a while, and then they convert. I think it only converts every 24 hours at a maximum (view the email they send every 100 cents converted ). Just so you know, they're converted in groups of exactly 100 CENTs, which is weird :|

I'm pretty sure that you can purchase any of the available items from Xisto using the dollars earned from myCENTs. A reason I believe why it is explicitly stated that the three logic plans have support for the Credit System v3 and left out for the rest of the plans/misc is that these options are cheaper, and using money earned from myCENTs to cover a more costly plan, such as a VPS, would be fairly difficult due to the number of posts required to hold up the monthly payments. If it was said that a VPS was supported by the Credit System v3, then people could be left disappointed upon realizing they would need to make hundreds of post a month!

You have $42 because you've been here for a long time and made many posts. When you registered, it counted all your previously made posts. Yes you can buy a domain, your earnings are as good as money deposited into the billing website from Paypal or something (unless you're cheating the system and found out ).

I think MyEarnings is the total amount that has been converted to dollars. myCENTs is the amount of cents you have that have yet to be converted to a new dollar (not too relevant unless you make one post a week - these get converted every 100 cents and you should be watching your dollar amounts)Since hosting now is paid in advanced (usually a month), you just need to make sure that your total earnings minus any payments (or the value it shows on the billing website) is enough for next months payments. 'Credits' are outdated now (even though it's the 'Credit System v3')

Yes, but using the My Assistant pop-up via my piece of javascript allows you to view the newest posts without having to navigate away from the page, and it also should be slightly faster due to not having to load as much. Personally, I find it easier to use this instead of the View New Posts link on Xisto (which is mostly the same in terms of viewing newest posts). Oh, and the skin looks fairly nice - the header logo is awkward but I understand that it will soon be changed. I don't like the new 10 post shoutbox restriction, although it should aid prevent spam and 10 posts isn't that much (even though I'm not even there ) - but removing it from the top of each page might be an annoyance (despite the fact that the shoutbox here always seems a lot more inactive than the one at Xisto).

For those who miss the easily accessible new posts, you can use a javascript hack that I made back at Xisto to pop up the My Assistant panel and show you the newest posts. Bookmark the following and click it to see the newest posts: (remove the space between java and script - it's some xss prevention or something) java script:buddy_pop();xml_myassistant_init("posts");document.getElementById('get-myassistant').style.top=(389+document.body.scrollTop)+"px";void 0

I saw this the other day, looks quite nice. You can activate it by going Settings => Labs or clicking the Labs icon at the top. It looks like it could be fairly useful to me, so I like it

I haven't personally run into this problem (I've has the X key being overresponsive - if i placed my finger on it as lightly as I could, it would press!), but I would take it apart to see if there's anything out of the ordinary. I haven't done this for a while (I'm fine with my blue faceplate), so it's best you google for some place that tells you how to do it. If I recall correctly, there's a lot of screws, even under the battery (under the warranty sticker?). When you're putting it back together, the screws will need to be very tight otherwise the analog stick and the memory card might not function properly. If you do decide to take it apart, then best of luck because it was fairly annoying the first time for me, and a few screws were nearly misplaced

I think the relevant ports are 27000-27015, 27020-27039. Try that first. You may also need to disable your firewall or enable the process (I think it's hl.exe). If you want to directly connect via an IP address, it may be possible to use the console (hit ` (to the left of 1) - may need to enable in options), and type connect 12.34.56.7:89 replacing the bogus IP:port with the IP:port of the server you wish to join. Since FPS games are heavily dependent on your latency, I can't suggest any servers because I don't know where you are located (and I don't play CS:CZ anyways, so I wouldn't know what's good). It's probably best to get the master server connection up so you can join whichever server you please.

I had this problem some time in the not-too-long-ago past, and the suggested fix worked (although it was from google and a different website to which I came across it). There weren't any !'s in the device manager, but this registry hack managed to do the trick.

I've heard you can do that in some languages, I wasn't sure about PHP though so I didn't say Thanks for the information though.

Nice work, it was fairly annoying (until I made a javascripty fix it).

preg_split allows you to use regular expressions for more complicated pattern matching (regular expressions). If you don't need this, then you should be using explode because I'm fairly confident it's faster. If you want to split a string into individual characters, then you can use str_split, for example str_split("Hello") is the same as preg_split("","Hello").

1) This line starts the PHP scripting block. 2) We define the variable $x to be 20 3) Since we use double quotes, $x is interpreted and so the string is the value of $x, which is 20. 4) This is the string "$x". The encapsulating single quotes means that variables are not parsed. 5) Same as above. Single quotes does not parse variables like double quotes. 6) Since it's double quoted, the variable $x is parsed. 7) Basically this is a null string, 20, then another null string, with no operators in between. 8) \" allows you to use the double-quotes inside the double-quoted string, and $x is parsed. 9) End the PHP scripting block. Basically, when you start a string with either of the single or double quote marks, the string goes until it finds a matching quote. Having single-quotes inside a double-quoted string or double-quotes inside a single-quoted string does not end the string or start a new string, they are simply interpreted as characters. If double-quotes are used, variables are interpreted, while single-quoted strings do not interpret variables. The backslash (\) is the escape character, so \" is an escaped double quote and is not interpreted to end the string. If you need to have " in a string, you either have it double-quoted and use \", or use single quotes and you do not need to escape it.

Yep, it's bad to click on ads just for earnings, as that's usually click fraud. I don't click on ads much anyways, unless it's something like a ad for Domino's at 12:50AM and I just want to check the time they close (this is a true story)I don't see this as being feasible for regular users (i.e. not SM) to earn money though, there just aren't enough views - unless all you do is refresh news.com every 20 seconds waiting for news to post here, letting you be the creator of all the popular topics

If you wish to only capture a certain window, you can hold alt while pressing Prt Sc, making the image copied to your clipboard just the active window. Paste it into something like Paint, and then save it - Don't save it as a .bmp as bmp extension files are quite large, but instead a jpg or a png - png is better quality but often larger size. I personally use imageshack to upload screenshots, and then the links given below once uploaded will instruct you on how to paste the image into forums, and web pages.

You already have a CAPTCHA in your registration process - it's the letter you enter into the box It comes by default with most forum packages.

Uh Variablez.. CAPTCHAs are generated every time, not every 5 minutes.CAPTCHAs can by bypassed. There are several ways for a bot to do so, such as character recognition, cracking a hash used (possibly used with character recognition), or even displaying the CAPTCHA on another website and waiting for people to do it! (i.e. a high traffic website, or maybe a CAPTCHA game? - people would never guess )

If you're making a shoutbox, then you should make it so that when the entire box doesn't actually refresh, but instead it loads newer messages and some javascript should add them to the box. That way, you don't load the newest 10 (or whatever) messages every 5 seconds, and instead only use a few bytes of bandwidth (excluding headers and stuff ) You could do this by sending a variable signifying the latest shout received, and then returning newer ones.It could also help if when there are no new messages, the delay is increased, and when a message is sent or received, the delay is reset. Alternatively, you could do something like done here and disable the shoutbox after a period of inactivity (it's 10 minutes here).

I also saw the title as "Why does 0 != 1" rather than "Why does 0! = 1". Spacing could make it a bit clearer.The alternative way to see reasoning behind this (not the work backwards way) is to use the probability definition of factorial - n! is the number of ways you can order n items. 0! is the number of ways you can order 0 items, which is 1.

You have earnt $13.84, of which $13.00 has been transferred (which is what it would say under your posts/in your profile), and you currently have $11.05 in the Xisto CP because you purchased the $1.95 logic plan. Did you think that the money you spent didn't deduct from your balance!?

Well the code there doesn't really make much sense to me - why would it link to "\"? truefusion's version makes much more sense (i.e. the $1$2:$3$4),

So I took the function from the link you provided, and compressed it into a single line. Because single line things are cool! <?php function linkify($text){return eregi_replace('([_\.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,3})','<a href="mailto:\\1">\\1</a>',eregi_replace('(((f|ht){1}tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)','<a href="\\1">\\1</a>',((substr($text,0,4)=="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;;}'>http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;;} echo linkify("you@example.com"); echo "<br />";echo linkify(" https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue= https://mail.google.com/mail/ you can do stuff like this in gmailecho "<br />";echo linkify("http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ "<br />";echo linkify("ftp://ftp.example.com");echo "<br />";echo linkify("http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;
