Blender Blender is way to confusing
BCD replied to bhupinder's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
HannahI, could you tell what you would like to achieve or make using Blender? To clear the confusion on whether it would be possible to achieve it or not, try searching in google for the thing you want to create. I cant understand why you are confused in the first place. The works available on internet done with blender should tell you about its capabilities. Is there any other program which you are considering against Blender? The best thing thing you can do is to try some basic modeling in Blender. If you are comfortable and think its good, go ahead with it. -
Blender Blender is way to confusing
BCD replied to bhupinder's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
Blender's so called confusing interface is actually very customizable. I guess most people think that blender's interface is confusing because it doesn't look like other programs, with usual UI like edit, undo menus etc. This is actually a nice thing, I mean why would such menus like undo redo need to be included when they can just use shortcuts. The basics can be easily mastered by following some excellent tutorials available like this one. I really enjoyed doing this tutorial, and soon got accustomed to the basic editing skills. And now I am comfortable with modeling objects and texturing. For people who are looking forward to learn or have a look at this great open source software, spend some time with it with some patience, you can create wonders if you have the artistic ability in you. Coming to features, Blender has large number of features on par with commercial softwares needed for professional 3d animators and modelers. But for casual users, people who want to get on 3d development as a hobby, Blender has complete features one would ever need. And the huge price difference between Blender and other commercial softwares for 3d development softwares is the best point for Blender. -
I got an the invitation about two weeks back. I still havent got any invites to give them to others. I think google is sending invites tier wise. So we need to wait a bit longer.

Do You Think Time Travelling Will Ever Be Possible?
BCD replied to Ho-oh'sRealm's topic in General Discussion
If anything can beat the speed of light, then it must be massless like photons. BuffaloHelp explained this, E=mc^2. So for us Human beings to travel at the speed of light, our body would need to break into massless photon like particles and then combine back after the travel. This is what would be visualized according to the theory. -
Do You Think Time Travelling Will Ever Be Possible?
BCD replied to Ho-oh'sRealm's topic in General Discussion
I don't think its possible. If we consider Einsteins thoughts that if we could travel faster than the speed of light we would actually be seeing the future. But to beat the speed of light, thats not possible. Light, that is photons which are said to be massless travel at 3 x 10^8 meter per second. For us human beings to travel that fast considering our mass is not possible. So time travel according to speed of light theory is probably not possible. -
C is the probably the first programming language taught to students entering the programming world. The syntax might be annoying, but the capability of what it can do is vast. It might be annoying at first, but once we are used to it, it becomes routine and we actually start to like it and don't feel the annoying part of it. Let me share my views on it. I would hate the syntax of any language if I am just told to learn the syntax of that language from first to end like a novel. It becomes really boring learning it without any real world applications. Its when I actually get some ideas to develop and code, I begin to use these syntax and then finally start to like it. So I would say, syntax is boring but when its coupled with ideas and sheer will to make it happen, even assembly language seems not to be annoying.

I am using vim in Ubuntu for coding and compiling C programs. Even thought it may be a lot of typing, I use it as way to improve command line skills. By the way, you need to install the vim, as the one included in the distro has minimal features and no syntax highlighter.

I have used both the clients. Currently using empathy. I have no issues with empathy nor did I had with pidgin. I do not use much of the features of a chat client other than, well text chatting, so anything is good for me as long it works.

In Unix I have observed the following two statements give the same results: CONSOLE echo $SHELL CONSOLE echo "$SHELL"Both the methods will process the variable and prints which shell is running.To take the input as text, whether or not there are variables included, it would be included in single quotesCONSOLE echo '$SHELL'The output would be $SHELLHere are some more commands which are commonly used:tput clear# Clears screenls -l > list#Saves the list of files and directories in the current directory with attributes (-l) in "list" file.cat filename# Display file contentswc list# Counts number of lines. x lines, x words, x charactersAnything starting with hypen (-) is an option. It needs to be separate, that is no characters after or before it.

An alternate way to upgrade Ubuntu to 9.10 for those with slow connections is by getting the alternate iso through torrent. This way the download can be paused and resumed. And later the package updates can be done. @mahesh: that reddit link is not working, because the website is currently down. Seeing the tittle may be it is this article: "Top things to do after installing Ubuntu Linux 9.10 Karmic Koala". Very informational article.

How To Control Search Engine Indexing For A Cms Based Site
BCD replied to BCD's topic in Search Engines
http://example.com/forum/unanswered?forum=23http://example.com/forum/active?order=totalcount&sort=aschttp://example.com/user/login?destination=forum%2F18 The first and second type of links show drupal page not found error and the third one access denied error even when authenticated. As you tell, may be they will be replaced by the friendly links on the next search indexing. Now I also found urls which are working and are friendly urls generated by pathauto like: Why should google take pain in indexing the urls with those ? and = included? Why wouldn't it just index the proper url like "/forums/introductions". Is it a the flaw or the way Drupal works? I am worried about these things, because the site is still a new one, and once the content starts to roll in I would want to see the site appearing beautifully in the search results. Update: I found that the path auto module and aliases module does not generate friendly urls for sorting urls like "unanswered" "active" "order". These type of urls are taking priority adn appearing at the top compared to friendly urls. -
How To Control Search Engine Indexing For A Cms Based Site
BCD replied to BCD's topic in Search Engines
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to exclude certain url types using robots.txt disallow method. Since there are a lot of different types of urls being generated the only way is to manually add each type as and when it is found. But I am unable to figure how to disable url of type like "/forum/unanswered?forum=3". Since I can not bock the word "forum" directory path, I need a way so that the it blocks only the urls starting with "unanswered?[something]". I checked out the documentation on robotstxt, but could not find a way to do so. Are there any alternatives? Now I also added the sitemap module for Drupal called as XMLsitemap. I will wait for a few days to see the results. -
How can one restrict the type of urls being indexed by search engines like Google for a Content Management System like Drupal? In our site, google is indexing links like these: http://example.com/forum/unanswered?forum=23http://example.com/forum/active?order=totalcount&sort=aschttp://example.com/user/login?destination=forum%2F18I am amazed about this. Why is google indexing such type of links when there are valid clean urls for each type of forums and pages. The site is running on Drupal CMS. For seo urls two modules pathauto and path redirect modules are being used. Path aliases module is doing its job fine by creating friendly urls as and when new content is created but still doesnt get indexed. In some cases where the clean urls are indexed, still they appear far below in the search results. Has anyone have experience dealing with such type of issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Implementing such a system of transferring myCents would be nice. Members can use it to send mycents to another user who would have helped in his private project or some other work where real money is usually given. It can be used as virtual currency. As for the stability of such a system, I think there should not be any issues.

For me those three things put together... oh thats almost not possible as my knowledge says.You mean you want to embed flash elements in C language? I haven't seen anyone doing that, may be it requires lots of expertise if possible.May be if you could tell what you are trying to achieve, I would try guessing some alternatives.

The number of features offered by Google voice and all this for free is really amazing. Hoping if it would be released in more countries.Quatrux, Google talk and Google voice are every different even though they serve the same purpose, that is communication. In google talk, we cannot call a real phone number or vice versa. It can only be used for peer to peer voice or text communication online. I use gtalk, and I must say the quality or rather the connectivity of calls is very poor compared to skype. Sometimes the network signal of gtalk suddenly cuts off. And the funny thing is that, if I have been on an intermittent chat with someone on a single call, I wouldn't know when the signal got cut off. I would be keep on wondering why is this pal not answering and when I see the network on the chat box, its gone.

As others have said above, the huge amount of textual content on trap18 forums gets more results in the searches. Search engines index content quickly as the bots sees that the forums are quite active and gets content every now and then.@nameless: the conversion of system generated default path names can be converted to seo friendly urls by using mod_rewrite module on Apache server. For popular CMS like Drupal there are modules available like pathauto which automatically generates meaningful urls by using titles of the nodes. There are also options to configure the templates for the urls.

Future Television Doesnt Need Remote Control Anymore!

1) Its ad revenue sharing program through Kontera ad publishers. To get this system working you need to get an account at kontera.com and add the publisher ID you get from kontera into the profile of your Xisto account (look in the My Controls are). Text link ads are shown to visitors of the forum and members below 100 posts. Since you registered in ad network, your (account) ads will also be shown and earn for members clicking on them.I recently read in on e of the threads that, the Kontera website pays you once you get 100$. Another condition is that, you need to get that 100 $ in past six months to checkout. If not, previous earnings before six months are forfeited. You can go ahead with this program if you can earn more than 100$ within six months, may be through your other websites (since its very unlikely you would achieve $100 target through here).2) I think you need to open the appropriate forum (not thread, even though you can as you tell) to post a new thread, thats how I have been doing till now.

Welcome, You can find more about myCents here. You will understand everything you probably wanted to know about mycents by reading those 10 FAQ given in that page. You can find quite a few interesting and useful topics for web development. Also there are many members in case you need any help. You can get quicker response by giving specific and detailed description of your doubts. Apart from that, you can find quite a varied range of topics to red and post about. Enjoy and have a nice stay.

Hi rob, I am interested in learning Python and it would be great to discuss with other learners. So far, it has been going fine, there are some excellent tutorials I have gone through like this and this. I have some queries. I run my scripts on PC and it works just fine. But how do I run on server (Xisto - Web Hosting). Not long back I posted a thread regarding this, but have lost track of it. Could somebody tell the process on to how to go about running a simple hello world script on server? I also looked a bit on google apps engine, but those tutorials and procedure went well over my head. For now I am just searching for a solution to get Python scripts running on my hosting account. Talking about Python language, it has made me write neater, properly indented codes in other languages too like C and PHP. @mahesh2k: Are those tutorials targeted for beginners, if so, I would like to see those tutorials.

If you have access to server logs on the server, you pretty much have all the information you are looking for. Awstats does a great a job in segregating the data into useful information from these server logs. For more analysed statistics, google analytics is good choice.

I Can't Turn Off My Computer problem with turning of computer...
BCD replied to tamuna90's topic in Hardware Workshop
I had this problem twice on my PC. It was some work of some malicious scripts and malwares. But the PC was a spam junk PC so I didnt look after for a solution.Check around their might be a lot of help around the web, since its common attack. A possible clue: The malware would have done some editing in registry. So narrow down your search to get the accurate results.
