It seems that you and your trainer might be at slightly crossed purposes. If you were thin to start with then losing weight and replacing it with muscle is not really a massive improvement. Speak to your trainer and make sure you are both clear on what your objectives are. It would also be worth speaking to your doctor about your diet, who may also put you in touch with a dietary expert. They should be able to help you work out whether your diet really is balanced, and what foods are available to you as a vegetarian. The NHS have an excellent resource on vegetarian health that should help you with your diet. This is again something your doctor should be able to help you with. A balanced diet should mean that you don't need any supplements above and beyond what you're getting from your food. Finding impartial advice on protein supplements is surprisingly difficult - everything is either written by people selling them, or people absolutely against all forms of supplements. The Iowa State University has the following to say on protein supplements: Source: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

With two conveniently placed rocks and some careful balancing with one foot either side of the stream Well, mainly because I forgot I got myself a Nikon D90 DSLR camera: http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/microsite/d90/en/index.html

I recently grabbed myself a new digital camera, and took a few shots around my University to try it out.https://www.flickr.com/browser/upgrade/?continue=%2Fphotos%2Frobvalkass%2F Any and all feedback, good or bad, is appreciated! I'm still learning to use it and there wasn't exactly a lot of interesting stuff to photograph

They don't actually exist. This is an April Fool joke that has been doing the rounds for a while and people still occasionally see pop up in their inbox. Thankfully not every American speaks like Will Smith and Mr Bean is probably the only Brit who actually speaks like Mr Bean You can see what it would be like in most movies though - for some reason Hollywood still think everyone in England has the strongest cockney accent the world has ever heard! In the UK we spell analyse with an s and use -ise at the end of words. Apart from the overall difference in accent between the UK and the US, there's no real difference in pronunciation between those two spellings. Using x instead of z is a bit weird, but does make sense; we already have words like xylophone that use x for the z sound.

I'd switch to a different font. I might have a go later at making a logo to distract me from my revision. Of course you could always make a request in the graphics forum and see what people come up with. Certainly on the contact page, and probably on the support page too. Remember that having people phone you is also a chance for you to sell to them (if they're not yet customers) and get honest feedback straight from them. Both of those factors are vital for improving your business.

I'm loving the old landing page: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ The Web Archive crawls the web in the same way Google does, but saves a copy of all the pages it comes across. They then publish the history of websites online, searchable by URL, so you can see how they've changed.

I'm not that keen on the logo. Rotating the letters like that makes it look slightly childish and unprofessional. That doesn't fit in with the muted blues and greys used on the rest of the site, which give a more muted and professional feel. Try it without the letters being rotated and see what it looks like on the site - personally I think it'll look a lot better. Those 5 dots used to create a 'smile' have become a bit of a clich? and very overused recently. They're also a bit detached from the rest of the logo and look out of place. Finally, the capitalisation of "Cheap Web hosting" is a bit random - either capitalise all the words, or just the first one :)Random capitalisation continues throughout the site. It makes the text look unprofessional and like it hasn't been proofread before you put it online, especially when it's in large images, such as the one on the main page which says "Cheap UK Based web hosting From just ?1.00 per month". Why capitalise 'Based' and 'From'? I know it's just a small thing, but it's an error repeated throughout the site, and it removes polish and professionalism from it.I notice Tux is still missing part of his foot too :POn the Hosting Plans page, the titles in the table don't quite line up with the data below them. Without the grid lines this makes it a bit tricky to follow what's going on, especially if the table gets expanded with other plans in the future. The prices also don't make it clear that they are per month. The Order link takes you to a generic billing page, which breaks usability. The order link should take the user to a page allowing them to actually order the product, or you should replace it with text saying "Any of these can be ordered from our billing area", linking the text "billing area" to the billing area.The claim of 99.9% uptime allows you to go offline for approximately three quarters of an hour every month. You also don't say that excludes scheduled maintenance, so you are severely limiting the amount of time you have for maintenance and for unscheduled outages. However, the 99.9% claim may be too low for some clients. This is something I'd investigate further to make sure you can meet this claim, and that it is acceptable to your clients. You also state all your packages include special offers - well that doesn't make them particularly special offers, and you don't say what they are.Finally you mention on the "About Us" page that people can phone you with queries, yet I see no phone number on the site. You also don't have an address up there, which drastically reduces the credibility of the operation.

You are allowed to place videos on your site as far as I know, but you can't use it for storage of videos, or ones that are illegal in any way or break any other aspect of the TOS. You can upload the videos to your site just fine as long as you have the rights to them (or they are public domain, or you have permission from the rights holder). Just keep an eye on your bandwidth You could also upload the videos to somewhere like Google Video or YouTube if you wanted to save your hosting space and bandwidth, and embed them in your pages.

There is a difference between double and single quotes in PHP. Using double quotes means that you want PHP to evaluate the expression inside them, so you can include variables and such. Using single quotes means you want PHP to treat it as a string and print out literally what is there. In your case, switching to single quotes around the echo should solve the problem. Change line 18 to read: echo '1 record added';

You need to make at least 5 posts before it starts to calculate the myCENTs you've earned. I can see now that $1 has already been sent to your billing account, so everything would appear to be working correctly. Keep making good posts and you'll be able to afford hosting and domains pretty soon.

It's an excellent idea, but a real shame it's only open to those in the US or Canada - us in the UK always miss out on everything It should be good to see what ideas people can come up with.

You say disabling JavaScript works, which implies the problem lies with some JavaScript that's being run. As it happens even when you've only got a blank tab open, that would suggest the problem could be with one of your installed add-ons. Take a look through the list and disable them one at a time, starting with the most recent (if you remember what order you added them in). Each time you disable one, close and restart Firefox and see if the problem remains. Hopefully you will find that disabling one particular add-on solves the problem. Go to that add-on's web page and file a bug explaining what happens.

According to the keyring on my keys, my name comes from the Saxon name "Hrodelbert" meaning "the famous and bright one" I am loyal and supportive to my friends, but rarely give my opinion. I am also able to lead and encourage others to succeed. Then again, as that was written by a keyring manufacturer, I'm not exactly sure how accurate it is! I think my name suits me, but I don't think the meaning does - I'm neither famous nor bright, and I wouldn't say I'm particularly good at leading. Oh well

I have a Samsung E250V. The battery takes approximately 4 hours to charge from nearly flat (when the phone starts warning you of a critically low battery). Leaving it switched on but not really using it for anything, the battery lasts for around 4-5 days before it needs charging. If you're using it constantly throughout the day to make and receive calls, send and receive texts and play games or whatever, the battery lasts approximately 2 days. Of course, that's only with my phone (now just over a year old) and my normal usage. Your mileage may vary.

The part that would worry me is the following: You generally don't pay out for an accessory like that if you are planning to sell your car. The seller may well have a genuine reason for sale, but it's possible that a potentially expensive mechanical problem has appeared and they're trying to sell rather than pay to get it repaired. The mileage is also quite high - over 25,000 miles a year - so the engine will have worn much faster than the age and appearance of the bodywork may suggest. Definitely take a test drive before you buy, and try to get on all sorts of roads to test the handling, speed and acceleration. If possible, take a mechanic with you. Many will inspect a car for you before you buy for a small fee, and the seller should have no reason to object - if they do, they know something is wrong with the car, so just walk away.

Correct. Binary works with powers of 2. The order you've written them in though is slightly ambiguous. Remember that when written the digit on the left is the most significant one, so 1010 is 10, not 5. 22 = two squared23 = two cubed 24+ = two to the four / two to the fourth / two to the power four / ...

Computers, were, people. Computer was the job title given to those people who did the number-crunching. They most often worked in observatories and with astronomical data, as a lot of repetitive number crunching was required on the data, and electronic computers did not exist - all the calculations were done by hand by computers. When machines came along that could do the same task, they were simply called computers. What else would you call them really? Unless you were a computer, in which case you might have some rude words for them as they just put you out of a job As shadowx has said, a lot of what you do with a computer involves calculations. For example: Even so, the fact that these calculations have become so hidden from the user has changed the definition of computer, rather than changing the word. The definition changed when we switched from human computers to electronic ones, and so the definition has evolved to cover more of the tasks that a computer now 'appears' to perform on a higher level.

Let's take the Photoshop example again. At the moment, it costs thousands of pounds to buy the full suite. This has led to it becoming one of the most pirated software products out there. But would that have happened if the cost had been more reasonable? Say Photoshop cost Ł60 - I think people would have bought it initially rather than pirating it. The problem is that the mentality among consumers is already that Photoshop gets pirated, and nothing is likely to change that. It was a mistake from the very beginning on Adobe's part. OK. From UK Statute Law, The Theft Act 1968 (Amended 2010), Paragraph 1, Section 1: The key is permanently depriving the other of [the property]. Hence why piracy is defined as a separate crime.

HTML, PHP and Java all perform very different functions. If all you want to do is display static information that you don't mind editing by hand then HTML is perfect. It's simple to learn and there are plenty of excellent resources out there to help you. If you need advanced features, such as creating a login system, allowing people to edit the content online, etc then you will need to use PHP to create that code. HTML is infinitely safer than PHP. As HTML doesn't process any user-inputted information, there is no way HTML allows any form of hacking or malicious activity by your visitors. If you introduce PHP and start processing input from the user then you open up loads of security problems. HTML doesn't affect security in any way. Your site is as secure as your FTP password. PHP makes a site much less secure (if coded badly).

There was actually a vicar (I believe, I can't find a source on the BBC website) who went on BBC Breakfast and announced, in the middle of an interview, that he considered it morally correct for people to steal food from the supermarkets while they're making such obscene profits. While music and software aren't vital to life in the way food is, this demonstrates the same point: laws never get changed unless they are challenged. Piracy is illegal, and shouldn't be condoned, but the fact we're having this discussion shows that the music, software and entertainment industries have got it very wrong with their relationship with the public. The same goes for the supermarkets - while people are starving because they can't afford food, yet the supermarkets make such huge profits, something is very wrong. Companies like Microsoft and Symantec (to name just two) seem to be slightly reducing their prices. I think this is partly due to piracy - so many people pirated their products due to the very high cost. If the cost drops far enough, people consider it reasonable and actually buy the products. Microsoft are still running their ridiculous series of Windows 7 ads here in the UK, so it seems cutting down on advertising isn't a reason to be reducing costs. A definition: If someone commits piracy, they don't deprive the original owner of property - they take a copy of the property. That is something that would never get tested in law unless cloning is invented and people start cloning sports cars and the like. The original owner loses nothing, so it can't really be theft. But someone has got something expensive for nothing, which can't be right...

That depends. Take Adobe's Photoshop as an example. Many people use pirated copies of it, but would they have actually paid for a copy of the full software? Have Adobe lost customers in these pirates? No. If anything it gave them their position at the top of the market, and has encouraged further sales. So they haven't necessarily lost anything through piracy - it may have drastically increased their revenue in fact. Remember the days of cassette tapes? People used to record songs off the radio onto their own tapes to listen to when they wanted, rather than buying a commercial tape or CD. That's piracy, and probably caused prices to increase. Fewer people bought cassettes and CDs than the record companies wanted, so they put prices up. Unfortunately this extraordinary reach of the record companies still goes on, with a levy on every sale of a blank CD in Canada going to the record labels to cover 'potential piracy', even though people could just be using those CDs for their holiday photos or work. Piracy probably does slightly more to damage music and DVD sales than it does to software, but the same effect is there. Would the people pirating that DVD or CD actually have bought the original? Or are they pirating simply because the cost is so low that it becomes worth it? I buy very few DVDs - only ones for shows that I really like. The cost is too high to buy a DVD on the off chance that it's any good. The same occurs with piracy - a lot of people would never actually buy the DVD, so no sale has been lost. As prices reduce, more people buy DVDs and CDs as they see it as a reduced risk if the DVD or CD is no good. Hence why I end up buying a lot of movies second hand for a pound or two in CeX The problem is that the record companies are far too greedy. Why do you think downloading an album costs more than buying a physical CD in a shop, despite the fact their distribution costs have dropped to practically zero? They can't bear to see their profits drop, however illogical it gets.

Popups are generally a bad idea unless the user has interacted with the site to make one appear. So, if they clicked a link to subscribe to a newsletter, a jQuery-style popup containing the relevant form would be OK. But making that popup automatically, with no interaction from the user, is a very bad idea. You'll just annoy people, and most will close the popup without reading a single word contained in it. Ask them to cook something containing their IP address, mail it to you, then put it on some sort of blacklist so they never see the popup again?

How would it work if you were signed out of your IM account? Not all services support sending messages to offline users. You also can't display more complex emails (ie. HTML) using IM services, and I imagine if that was brought in on some IM services, people would get much more annoyed with the spam messages they'd receive.
