Whenever I tried those download accelerators, they seemed to increase the speed as they use multi connections to the same content downloading and stick it together. I never got any problems with files being corrupted, but those download managers use a lot of your hard disk drive RPMs and your system gets a bit slow.. Also it depends from your connection and the site from which you're downloading, as some sites from which you can download files only allows one connection from an IP address..I don't use them anymore, as I have a quite good connection and I am patient to wait for download to finish and whenever I need to download a big file, usually it is offered in a torrent and it already is a good alternative to download it quite fast using multiple connections from people who share the torrent and it won't be corrupted..I guess, files can get corrupted much easier when you use download managers/accelerators when you get an OS error or your computers reboots due to electricity was gone for several seconds, but it all depends on the algorithms and etc.I don't see any profit of waiting 5 minutes for the download to finish or 9 minutes without any accelerators, at least the system works faster as usually big hard disk activity can make your system work slower even when CPU usage is only 7%, it depends on your hard drive RPM.

About firmware updating and BIOS updating: usually if everything works for you and you have no problems using the device, I doubt the update is needed, it's usually good to read the new features or bug fixes in the update and if they are relevant for you you may update, but usually I don't update any of my firmware or BIOS on my laptop.. But I used to..As I said, if your system is working fine, usually the update is not needed.. The same is with cell phones, if it works well for you, why would you need to update the OS or firmware of that device, unless it offers something very special..Also, sometimes a computer is being released, the first sale usually comes with the first latest BIOS, the second edition usually have the BIOS already updated, but the site still offers to download a BIOS update, which you already have.

Well, a test-bed can be pages on your hosting account, where people can have the opportunity to test your site, how CSS, HTML works, it's like a preview of a product I guess.. also as I understand, you need to get their opinions about the test beds or gather them somehow yourself Link to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testbed

I agree with you, youtube seems to be upgraded, but those minor upgrades sometimes seems painful, I used to like the old layout a lot, now I don't care about the site, mainly I look at the video player, even though earlier it was good to look at the description and etc. The rating system was even better..I don't even like the new comments, how they're positioned there, it seems when you get used to it, they change something :DAs if they're looking for the best solution.. or just pretending to work a lot.

I think you can never proof fate exists or not, as you can always say it was your fate to do that or not to do that, even though it seems strange that it can exist, you can always generate a random letter or number, but do you really?throw a coin, you'll always have a chance of 1/2 if you throw it several million times.. it will never be that you'll get heads all the time, as if there is order and no chaos. I personally don't believe in FATE, but I can't prove anything..

Very interesting, but as I understand not all videos can be made like that, you need to create special videos, it's quite hard to watch it, but it's really amazing, it uses much more bandwidth I guess to work

Very nice information, it's interesting to know the incomes of those big services on google, I wonder if they get so much income, what are the expenses.. I've heard that google doesn't even know what to do with all the income? And besides, where's facebook in the list, as I heard it's getting on of the biggest "companies" on the internet and gets a lot of revenue?Youtube has a lot of potential, even though it's very costly to maintain in, but I think with time it will work, HTML5 might make the bandwidth cost dramatically lower, as it may send videos which doesn't take so much space, FLV files usually are not so compressed than other formats. :)Nevertheless, youtube is full of junk too, a lot of whom doesn't liek the ads on the video files when you watching something.

Well, the password 12345678 was just an example, say your real password is Ver1sMYC4t$$, so you can use Ver1sMYC.. and you'll just need to remember the end.. It's useful, if you have at least 5 passwords you use everywhere and to have the file for the services/websites you're registered to know which password you're using..Even though most of sites have implemented password remembering solutions, so it's good to just get an email, even though I wanted to remember some passwords for some services I used a lot of years ago and I didn't use that email anymore as I didn't have access to it, so noway to remember it

It happened to me to, several times and from what I understand it's because I've clicked some kind of combination of mouse clicks and maybe keyboard key pushes or something that.. and whola, you get a bunch files cloned in the same directory? It's really irritating.. I even didn't notice the combination, but it's usually because I'm in hurry to do something and you just get more problems.. I think using exploring is a bad habit, getting a file manager and using it is much better, just that I got used to explorer so much, I used to use File managers only in the past, but somehow I got a habit to use explorer style..

You can have that Excel file with all your password encrypted , or something like that.. Besides, in the excel file you can write not all the password, but for you to understand, for example:If you've got a password 12345678 then you can write 123456.. or 1234..8So you usually will remember the password, but somebody who will get that file, even if it's encrypted and he will be able to decrypt it, he won't do anything, if he's just a simple user, it is hard to guess the password end or center, as you don't know the string/password length.

In my country nobody goes trick and tricking, I think it's only done in USA?There is a different celebration in my country, where you need to have a mask or something and go to doors, but it's in spring and it's quite a different celebration.I don't know about other countries, but I doubt they celebrate it at that time.When in USA you celebrate Halloween, we have a different custom called All Soul's Day, usually we need to go to the cemetery, clean up there and etc. ;]

I think you can use PHP Arrays to achieve this effect, variable variables aren't needed here, at least I think so, if I understood you correctly. you can set your array: $array = array(); Also, it depends how you get your data of fruits and colors, is it from a mysql database? if so, it can be even easier to do, but lets say I don't know ho w you get data, so a custom way top do would be to use that array: $array['banana'] = 'yellow';$array['orange'] = 'orange'; It is one way to do, you set an array key the fruit name, and array value for that key the colour, or you can do it with numbers, if needed, just read how to use arrays.. So to continue, you can do: foreach ($array as $fruit => $color){ echo $fruit .' has the color '. $color;} it will go through all your array values, you can set up a counter if you need some numbers in a varible, for example: $counter = 0; and in the loop you can $counter++; Another way to do it is to use a different methods with array: $array[] = array('banana', 'yellow');$array[] = array('orange', 'orange'); and to get the values, you can just: echo $array[0][0]; // Bananaecho $array[0][1]; // Yellowecho $array[1][0]; // Orangeecho $array[1][1]; // Orange or you can do it like this: $array[] = array('fruit' => 'banana', 'color' => 'yellow');$array[] = array('fruit' => 'orange', 'color' => 'orange');echo $array[0]['fruit']; // Bananaecho $array[0]['color']; // Yellowecho $array[1]['fruit']; // Orangeecho $array[1]['color']; // Orange So it will increment +1 if you set the values using [] so you can use a for loop: for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i ++) { echo $array[$i]['fruit']; echo ' has the color '; echo $array[$i]['color'];} There are different ways to do it, just read on PHP arrays tutorial how to achieve things. I didn't test the code, but I think I didn't make any mistakes. Furthermore, I've found a way to do what you asked for using variable variables, at least I think so, but an array solution is better in my opinion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/543792/php-variable-variables Using variable variables can make other programmers who will use your code think a little, usually it's better to write code which is easy to read and understand without a lot of comments, even if it's 10 lines and not with a "better" method which is 3 lines, but it depends what you're programming, performance is a preference usually and readability that it would be code only for you to understand

If you're talking about the shadows in the the borders at the bottom, then it's just an image which CSS is showing: http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/DailyNotes/wp-content/themes/DailyNotes/images/shadow-small.jpg

I also don't play Farmville even though it seems to be popular, but now a lot of whom as I noticed stops playing it, I think do to it got bored a little or some newer games have appeared. I don't see any point in games like Farmville, but the fact remains, that it's addicting, when you start playing it, it's quite hard to stop

I used to smoke myself over 3 years ago, but I dropped it and now I really hate that smell, it stinks it didn't stink like that when I was smoking myself :DFor several years it's banned to smoke in public places too and it seems to work, I can't even imagine, how people used to sit in restaurants or bars/pubs full of smoke :DEven though, for smokers, there's usually no place to smoke anymore, unless it's a newer restaurant and has a smoking room or balcony where you can go and smoke, as usually a lot of smokers smoke near the doors outside and especially if it';s snowing or raining or is cold, it's even worse for them to get sick..

I've tried to run your application and it seems that my anti-virus spotted a virus, what is that about?

Hello Yegane,Welcome to the forums, I hope you'll enjoy your stay

The CSS3 text shadow feature is really great, most of updated browsers has it working as far as I know. For older browsers, you can always create an image with a shadow and show it with CSS2

Welcome to the forums ;]I also like football, the European football and I am into computers too, I guess most of us here are into computers

I use some of those passwords for some services I don't care and especially for localhost, to test different things when creating something, why bother and use a hard password, when you can just use 123456 :)Also, as I know, another popular password is ASDF, but it seems to be not in the list.

In my country, which is part of European union, I don't know any sites which are blocked, nothing is blocked as far as I know, even though they've tried to block some sites, due to some reasons, but because of the law and possibilities, they didn't succeed as censor ship in the Internet is practically useless and can be out come, China example shows it.The only thing I can think of that some services just don't work, as they are USA or UK only or something like that. I guess a lot of services are not available for USA to

I have to agree with zenia, that most of those secrets aren't so secret and aren't so useful, even for XP users.

We don't celebrate Halloween in our country, even though it's an American festival, but it seems to be spreading around the world, as some people do celebrate it here and even super markets essentially talk about Halloween, even though the festival is different in our country.As funny as it can be, but it's true.

I really don't like those talent shows anymore, I am pissed of of them and it seems there are a lot of different versions of it on different channels, at least in my country, everyone now is singing and dancing, I am fed up with it, there is nothing good to watch anymore :)So it's best to turn on something similar to discovery channel or national geography and watching, rather than watching those "talents"

Now, I usually play games to relax or to spent some free time without thinking about the things you need to do, to spent my time with fun, so I usually don't play hard games which require a lot of nerves :)Usually like some strategy games where you need to build something.
