Wait, I'm sorry. I thought you were describing Opera. (You realize Opera does all those things too, right?)

If someone were to sever each and every connection that constitutes the Internet, yes it is possible, and by possible, I mean nearly impossible. ?Since the Internet is not much more than a gigantic network of computers, to truly shut down the entire internet, one would have to either shut down all of the computers responsible for handling network traffic, or cut all the connections between them.If each and every satellite in space were destroyed, the Internet would barely be affected (except for you people with satellite Internet). ?I believe most Internet connections are physical cables. ?GPS, however, would cease to function. ?Most connections in the Internet are redundant. ?If the cable from point A to point B is cut, there are still many other paths from A to B. ?The data might have to go through points G, R, and Q first, but it will still reach point B.Even if DNS servers were to stop working entirely, the Internet would still exist and be usable, though it would be a little more difficult to use. ?If you wanted to go to google, you would have type in 74.125.45.100 instead of google.com.

PHP's strtotime function returns false if it fails to pull a date from the string you give it. The only problem with that is, strtotime is so flexible, random numbers and characters could actually be translated into a date. If you want to check whether data is entered in a specific format, the date_parse_from_format function rvalkass mentioned is the way to go. If the values of "error_count" and "warning_count" in the array it returns are 0, the date is valid. I haven't used the function before, but I would assume errors are generated if the format is invalid and warnings are generated if, say the entered date was October 42. The code should look something like this: $date = parse_date_from_format("2009-08-13", "Y-m-d");$is_valid = ($date['error_count'] + $date['warning-count'] == 0);//Or for a less strict validator://$is_valid = ($date['error_count'] == 0);</P><P>You can find a list of the special characters you can use in a format string here.

Try looking here Seriously though, you can learn just about any programming language by looking for online tutorials. I was able to write decent code in PHP in under a month using the internet and studying other people's code. Your mileage may vary. Look around and see what you can find. Using an IDE with code completion like Netbeans also helps when you can't remember what all the arguments are to a certain function. Use the PHP documentation too. It can be a little confusing at times (and a lot confusing at others), but you can find lots of good examples and advice in the notes people post at the bottom of the pages.

Uncached: 6953ms - 8890msCached: about the same, but the page appears fully loaded around 3.0s. ?It looks like Opera serves the cached files while it finds out if the files have changed.I'm from the US, and according to Speedtest.net, my connection speed is 1420 kbps (1.39 Mbps).I'm running Opera 10.00 Beta 2, build 1651 (because you definitely need that much info ) on Windows XP. ?I used Opera Dragonfly's networks tools for timing rather than a stopwatch. ?I could give you a file-by-file breakdown of the load time if you wanted that too.There's also some cookie that keeps getting updated every fifteen seconds or so.Good luck!

eh-wha? Unless I'm misunderstanding, Blitz 3D is a completely separate language with its own compiler. ?Each of the listed tools like Game Maker and Verge use their own programming languages, so the answer would be: none of them.

I can't say for sure, but if you did not use WordPress's installation script, your WordPress installation might not be configured correctly. WordPress keeps some URLs stored in its database, and if one of those is wrong, that would explain why it can't see your themes. I'm going to assume you have cPanel. First, use FTP or the cPanel file manager to make sure the theme is in the right place. It should look like this: root / WordPress directory +- wp-content +- themes +- your theme folderIf that is correct, open PHPMyAdmin and bring up the WordPress database. Open the wp_options table and look for the following options. If any are incorrect, edit them accordingly. siteurl = http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (if WordPress was installed to a sub-directory, this should be http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ) home = http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (probably the same thing as siteurl) upload_path = the full server path to your wp-content/uploads directory (Themes should still work even if this is wrong) If siteurl is wrong, you'll probably have more problems than just themes not working, but it's worth checking just to be sure. You may also want to check WordPress's system requirements and match them against your host's specs. Just because WordPress appears in fantastico doesn't necessarily mean gofreeserve can run it. Edit: Wait. Take a look at the post times. How did I post this over an hour before your post?

That website puts the media player in a pop-up window. You should be able to find how to make that kind of independent player if you google "pop-up media player". You can also make a semi-independent player using the xspf player with autoresume support. It isn't the most stylish of players, but it will try to pick up where it left off when you go to another page. If you want to see it in action, you can check it out at my totally unfinished site at http://chaosinacan.x10hosting.com/.

There's no simple way to do this, but if you have some knowledge of a scripting language it shouldn't be hard to do.You'll need to store the current target in a file, then have the script read that value, add one to it, store that back in the file, and open the correct movie file.The easiest way would just be to write down which episode you were on.?

I have absolutely no idea how that would change anything.If Windows wants to format the drive, it's likely either corrupted or not formatted in a way that Windows recognizes (or not formatted at all). ?Logging in a another user won't fix the flash drive.If that actually works, I'll be very surprised. ?That surprise will be very shortly followed by *facepalm* and a total loss of what little faith I had left in Microsoft.

That site must have old links. This site has working links to Apple's downloads. http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ Safari has been improved a bit, and I believe it is less likely to reload pages. Since the iPod only has so much memory, I think what you were seeing isn't so much a bug as your iPod not being able to keep both pages in memory at once.

On my Dell BIOS, you can modify the order of devices to boot from. ?USB wouldn't happen to be near the top of the priority list would it?

Has anything changed in how you use the drive, or did the reformat message start appearing with no apparent cause? ?Your drive may have become corrupted. ?If so, you'll need to find some sort of data recovery software to recover your files, or some companies also offer data retrieval services. ?Even then, if your drive is corrupted you may not be able to recover all of your files. ?If the files are truly important, you may want to have a specialist look at the drive and see if it is recoverable. ?It will probably cost you quite a bit to get it recovered though. ?If the reformat message appeared the first time you used the drive on your Windows machine and you originally formatted it using another operating system like Linux, your flash drive might be using file system that Windows doesn't recognize. ?This probably isn't the case, but if you have a Linux machine, try opening the drive there.If this is, as the second line of the post states, a new flash drive, then I don't see how there could be any files on it to begin with. ?If this is the first time you've used it, it may not have preformatted, in which case, you will have to format it yourself.In the future, if there are important files on your flash drive, you should keep a backup copy of them somewhere in case something like this happens.

I don't have any experience with PXE, but you could check if the computer's BIOS has an option to enable/disable booting from USB. ?Though, if it does and disabling it fixes the problem, you'd have to go through every single computer... You could also just tape a sign to each computer saying, "If it doesn't boot, take out your flash drive and try again."?

I'm not entirely sure what innovations you're talking about when browsers like Opera have had address bar search of bookmarks for quite some time. It's good that browsers are implementing the features that are useful on other browsers, but they aren't innovations if other browsers invented them first.
