  1. I am addicted to coffee; can't start a day without it. I first started drinking it while watching Gilmore Girls and now I can't quit.Even so I don't feel it's affecting all that much me in a negative way. I am more aware and I have a little more energy after I drink it, but I'm not nervous or irritabile. Of course I don't drink a large ammount, just one cup.I think that coffee could be considered a drug because it creates an addiction, but it's not as damaging as a real drug.
  2. Fortunatelly I don't get addicted to games; sooner or later I get bored with all of them.I don't even understand people who get addicted to games like Counter Strike or World of Warcraft even though I know a few.The only game I got the feeling I was getting addicted to is Heroes of Might and Magic III. I played it for two years almost every day, but this is behind me now.
  3. I like most of the movies the Coen brothers write and produce. I liked "No Country for Old Men"a well, but I also wouldn't give it 4 Oscars.Maybe it was over-hyped and I expected more from it.Did anyone else get the feeling that the storyline was a little similar to Fargo?
  4. I don't remember ever having a dream where I was trying to read anything, but maybe that's just because I don't read when I'm awake either so perhaps there's no reason to dream about it.There were times when I would play a video game for hours and just before I went to sleep I could see myself still playing and some parts of the game were text, but I don't think that counts as dreaming.However if I were to have a dream where I had to read some instructions, but I couldn't do that ... that would be one evil nightmare.
  5. I never managed to complete the game on the hardest level of dificulty. The farthest I got was fifth world (I'm talking about Diablo II LOD) on Hell with an Assasin (very near the end), but then I just got bored for no reason :)My father, however completed the game several times, but every time with the same character: the Amazon.
  6. I played some DotA a while ago. People say it's addictive, but I didn't see it that way.It fact I never really liked the concept very much because it's not challenging. One of the hardest things is to calculate the ammount of money you need when you return to base to buy artifacts.I see DotA like a role playing version of Counter Strike, which is another game I didn't enjoy because everytime it's the same: you get the good guys on one side, the bad guys on the other ... and they attempt to kill each other.
  7. I took my first steps in PHP with help from this tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/php/ ; it's really well structured and very easy to follow. If you don't like to read to much you can always watch the lectures from Harvard's David Malan which you can find right here: http://cs75.tv/2012/summer/ These lectures were a real source of inspiration for me.
  8. ^ At some point I do plan to move my work on the www so I had to resolve this security measure.Thanks for all your replies. It turns out that I did, in fact, had to edit the configuration file.If anyone else has this problem: the configuration file is C:\xampp\PhpMyAdmin\config.inc.php and you need to add the password to this line: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';Instead of C:\xampp you should choose the directory where you have installed xampp; I'm not sure, but this should work for EasyPhp as well.
  9. I could never drink anything stronger than wine (like liquor, vodka, etc.); I just got this feeling that my throat is on fire.However I used to drink a lot of beer. I could say I was addicted to it. It got to the point where I had to drink around 4L of beer every night just to sleep well.One day the firm I work for organized a trip that lasted 3 days. The second night I drank 7-8 beers (no more than usual) but I didn't get any sleep. The last day I was feeling really sick and, at some point, I had a hypocalcemia crises and I started shaking like a mad man until someone gave me 2 calcium pills.Now I knew that this had happened because I hadn't gotten enough sleep, but everyone thought it was because I drank too much and I was really embarrassed.I've never drank a beer since then (this happened 10 months ago) and I feel healthier then ever.So it's not like the body is addicted to alcohol, it's just that the brain is so used to it that it feels normal.All you need is a reason strong enough to quit drinking.
  10. I couldn't read all that you people wrote in this topic because I love animals and I don't like to see them hurt or even read about it.I think that people who hurt animals are sick and also they should be punished just like when they hurt another human.Did you know that in Romania there is no law to punish those who hurt or abuse animals?There was this case on the news once about a man who took his dogs somewhere near the town, he tied them up to some trees and left them to die. After a couple of days the dogs got really hungry and they started barking and yelling and that's how some people found them.The news channel started a petition to punish those who abuse animals and a lot of people signed it, but it was not approved.
  11. I would like to be a feline, but not a domestic one. Some form of wild cat, perhaps a lynx would be just fine.I like the agile felines more that the strong ones (like the lion).
  12. Are you talking about a ubs wireless modem? because I know that such a device should create its own connection.This means that if your cmd shows only your LAN and your WLAN the modem is not connected.What kind of message do you receive when you plug it in?Also ... what does your cmd show when you run ipconfig when the modem is connected on the laptop that on which it works (the newer one).
  13. Thank you.removeAll() does indeed do the trick.But now I have another problem: when I select a field from the list what's the variable that holds the data for this field? Any field has a label (the thing you see) and a data (the variable underneath).I've tried list.data (where list is the instance name for my list), but this returns 'undefined'.I have a similar situation for a ComboBox; if I use combobox.text it returns the label for the field I selected, but I don't know how to access the data.
  14. Hello!I have a list component in a fla. When I click a button, I add items to the list. (using list.addItem )The problem is that every time I add new items I want to refresh the list; this means that I want to delete all items that are in the list and leave only the new ones.Is there anyway to do this using only one function?(I know that I can use list.removeItem , but that would mean I have to delete every item in the list one by one).
  15. I just love cats. I even have a cat; he's fat, he's lazy and he purs like a tractor everytime he sees me.I'm not a big fan of dogs (yes, I realize some people may disagree with me on this). I think that a dog is a more of a slave rather than a man's best friend.Don't get me wrong: I still love dogs, I all love all animals for that matter, but I think that cats are more inteligent, more independent and I like them better.
  16. My favorite sport is pro-wrestling and it has been like this since I was a child.I also love winter sports (most of them anyway) because of the fair-play.I can't really say I have a least favorite sport. I don't like to watch racing, I guess.
  17. I've used Mozilla ThunderBird in the past. I think it's the best mail client out there, much better than Microsoft Outlook.Now I use at work Outlook Express which is like the worst thing ever, but the admins don't let me install ThunderBird and this is anoying.
  18. I have installed XAMPP on my computer.Everything works fine, but when I enter PHPMyAdmin I get this warning: "Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole."So I've changed the password to the root account, but then I couldn't access the mysql databases anymore with PHPMyAdmin (I received an error that the access was denied). I could change the structures only in php with the mysql_connect command.Then I had to reset the root password and now I'm back at square 1.So my question is this: how can I change the root password and still be able to access the mysql database with PHPMyAdmin?
  19. I've used WinZip, WinAce and WinRar in the past. Now I'm just using WinRar because I don't need anything else.It would have been nice to have a poll in this topic. I think WinRar would have easily won.
  20. I like to put all my actions on frames instead of putting them on buttons or clips. It makes the .fla look clean and the actions easier to follow. This is the code I used on the second frame: stop();function DecreaseAlpha (){ _root.button._alpha -= 2; if (_root.button._alpha <= 50){ clearInterval (DecreaseAlphaInterval); }};function IncreaseAlpha (){ _root.button._alpha += 2; if (_root.button._alpha >= 100){ clearInterval (IncreaseAlphaInterval); }};_root.button.onRollOver = function(){ DecreaseAlphaInterval = setInterval (DecreaseAlpha, 40); clearInterval (IncreaseAlphaInterval);}_root.button.onRollOut = function(){ IncreaseAlphaInterval = setInterval (IncreaseAlpha, 40); clearInterval (DecreaseAlphaInterval);}_root.button.onRelease = function(){ gotoAndStop(1);} It looks a lot like Nabb's code because I copied his code and modified it Here's my *fla if you need it: http://110mb.com/404.php (Right Click, Save As) It may help to look at a live, working example rather than at a code.
  21. I don't know about everyone else, but I like to keep my privacy and I don't like the fact that my email address is show in the free web hosting application.This leaves my Inbox vulnerable to all the spam in the world and I won't accept that; that's why I edit it.I propose that the email address should not be shown in the application.
  22. I realize this topic is very old, but I'm a huge fan (actually wrestling is my all time favorite sport) and I just can't let it 'die' like this.The hottest topic today is Bound for Glory IV, TNA's biggest PPV of the year which took place on 12 October.I would like to hear your opinions about this event. I'm a moderator on a wrestling forum and many people say that BfG didn't live up to its hype, but I happen to disagree. I think it was a great show with awesome matches; like Kevin Nash said in a promo: "the Main Event alone is worth the admission price."In other news, but also about TNA: who do you think that Suicide is? At first I've heard rumors that it will be Kaz, then that it may be Senshi, I even read somewhere that it could be Jay Lethal who will drop the Machismo gimmick.
  23. Warning: You should not use the Windows Registry Editor if you have no idea what you are doing. It is recommended that you make a backup of your registry before using any of these tweaks: Start > Run > type regedit > Ok > select Computer. File > Export > type a File name > Save Disable auto lock (when your computer goes into suspend / hibernate mode) Start > Run > type regedit > Ok. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Power Set the value of PromptPasswordOnResume to 0. Use this if you do not have an administrator account. Otherwise just disable the Prompt for password[...] Desktop Proprieties > S.creen Saver > Power > Advanced Disable Windows Update Start > Run > type regedit > Ok. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer Create a new REG_DWORD, set its name to NoWindowsUpdate and its value to 1. Because some people just don't want to be bothered by that Windows Genuine Advantage. Enable Change Password Start > Run > type regedit > Ok. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Set the value of DisableChangePassword to 0. Use this if your administrator has disabled the Change Password feature. Enable Lock Computer Start > Run > type regedit > Ok. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Set the value of DisableLockWorkstation to 0. Use this if your administrator has disabled the Lock Computer feature and you don't want people snooping around your personal files while you are away from your computer. Enable LogOff Start > Run > type regedit > Ok. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies Set the value of NoLogoff to 0. LogOff may get disabled by some viruses. You may use this to re-enable it. Enable Task Manager Start > Run > type regedit > Ok. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Set the value of DisableTaskMgr to 0. Like LogOff, the Task Manager may also be disabled by some viruses. Unblock a restricted application Start > Run > type regedit > Ok. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun Delete the string value for the application you want to use. If your administrator has disabled an application you may get this error: 'This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator'. Use the tweak above to remove the restriction. Unblock the Command Prompt Start > Run > type regedit > Ok. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System Set the value of DisableCMD to 0. If, for some reason, your cmd has been blocked and you get this error: 'The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator' you can use the above tweak to re-enable it. Unblock a restricted website Start > Run > type regedit > Ok. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains Scroll down, find the restricted website and delete its folder. This only works if the website has been blocked on your computer not on the proxy server. There are virtually unlimited things you can accomplish by editing your registry.
  24. Why is the 336 x 280 rectangle better than all the other ads?Just because it's the biggest in size or because it's statistically clicked most often?Even so ... does AdSense pay more for the bigger ads or size doesn't matter?I was just wondering about this because I would like to know if it is better to use a banner or 2 half banners.
  25. Hello! In the Games Area why is there a Strategy (with the description: "Real-time, turn-based, and[...]") sub-forum and also a Real Time Strategy sub-forum? This is redundant and confusing to users. I think, for obvious reasons, that the 2 sub-forums should be joined. Thank you.
