It's not a bandwidth or memory issue because when the page does load, it loads quick, like when it would establish a connection quicker before—at least for me it does. Also, G-Zip would only add to the processing due to compressing and decompressing the data. Based on observation and experience, it is safer to conclude that there is a process or processes that are occurring in order to process the script and send the output to the browser that is slowing down the server than it is to conclude that it is a memory or bandwidth issue. The performance issue has been interesting, as it seems to fluctuate at times: one moment it establishes a connection quick, another moment it either takes forever or just fails.

Trial version? Switch to Blender, it's the easiest to use 3D modeling program (and i've tried Maya, 3DSMax and Cinema4D). Here's a video i put together just to ease the switch, it shows how to model what you created but in under 3 minutes: click.

One way to become aware of them is by looking at the changelogs of popular scripts. Another way is by searching for websites made specifically for best practices and vulnerabilities. The PHP manual also has a section on security. You can find other sources here.

I see. Well, should i assume the height of it is around at most 20px and that the background loops on the y axis? Otherwise, that would be not only a lot of loading time, but perhaps even a lot of RAM being used on the client side. See how this color looks like for the text in the context area that's in the border: #202F32. For the active tab text color, make it darker instead of the grey that it currently has, it seems to be colliding with the background color. The layout looks better than its previous state. I still think, though, that the blue, that is, _____, of the 3D object is colliding with the background color. By the way, what program did you use to make the 3D object?

Line 5 would be: $from = $_POST['Email');Needs to be replaced with: $from = $_POST['Email'];That should fix the syntax error. You said you pretty much copied code from a YouTube video, so it's not really your fault on why it contains security issues.

Meditation concerns the conscious, the conscious is metaphysical, therefore meditation is metaphysical. You place your trust in it by believing that such a "process" or, as you put it, "skill" ("skill" implies something that needs to be obtained as if you don't already have it) will actually help you control yourself, which by stating "help control myself" implies, again, that meditation is separate of yourself. It is your life; however, i don't believe you would disagree with me when i say that if you were to attempt to unjustly cause harm to another conscious being, that you should be allowed to do so. Therefore, though being your life, limitations are to be enforced for the safety of others—whether you want there to be limitations or not. Also, concerning the coin toss: although it does not necessarily mean that there is a (conscious) force deciding on what side the coin lands, it also doesn't mean that there isn't one. That doesn't mean there isn't one. I don't see any difference between "instincts" and "conscious thoughts and actions," as instinct is within itself a conscious thought that normally brings forth action. We have the ability to control instincts. Instincts, as i see it, is for one just a "constant reminder" of perhaps what needs to be done. For example, seeking for food, mating, to seek life, etc. It is also a thought process that occurs almost instantly but with undesirable consequences, like cursing in anger—the words are ready to be used. This is no different to what is already occurring. It can happen in this generation too, and without requiring to stop being human. For even if we stopped being human, it does not follow that anything foolish we commit will end. Otherwise, we would be able to say of such about the rest of the animal kingdom. However, if the majority is the majority, then it would require a force larger than the majority to bring about a change. All of which deal with faith, love and hope. Likewise, if the person that you expressed your love to turns you down, those three things (i.e. faith, love and hope) would all collapse. And it can be said it was due to placing those three things upon something that fails or can fail. However, thanks to the way humans are, i can very much answer all these questions with a yes. Why? Because people like to joke around. I popped this one out of its context as it appears that "you" is no longer plural (though i could be wrong). To address the rhetorical question, i did not come into my faith because i sought security, i came to believe because i sought answers and found them. So it is very possible to trust in a metaphysical (supreme) being without desiring the feeling of security. If there is any feeling of security, it would be a side effect, mostly due to accepting the metaphysical being's existence because of logic and reasoning.

Why not just use the one that comes with Vista? You haven't complained about it in this topic (yet), so i would suspect it to work to some extent. I'm not sure what rating i'd give Vista's Firewall, though. Maybe a 5 out of 10, though i've never owned Vista; i've used Vista on a laptop once, but would never want it on my computer.

Looks a lot better, especially the glossed tabs. The tabs remind me of the Murrine GTK theme engine. For the black drop shadow on the sides, changing the layer blending to Overlay may make it look better. And i don't know why, but the text in the context area (i.e. the text within the blue border) seems like it would be better if another font was used; everywhere else appears fine. Perhaps the blue border surrounding the paragraph would look better if it had the background color of (i suppose i would call it) the "body area," that is, #6FCAED. And for the active tab, the blue tip, perhaps blend it to Overlay (i.e. if it's on its own layer). As a side note, since it can be quite annoying to attempt to match all screen resolutions with certain gradient backgrounds, since the image doesn't reach 1600px in width, and since some GFX cards are going beyond that width, with the current gradient background you have, the only way i see that you can satisfy all screen resolutions is to align the background all the way to the left or right edge. You pick the edge, and on the opposite edge you pick the color of the very last pixel at that edge and place it as the background for the page. That way it'll seem like it continues and not get cut off by white space.

There's already a network of people: the weather station. Yes, this is not what you meant, but i'm trying to lead to a point. The main reason why people know of a tornado warning is not (necessarily) due to people looking out their windows, it's due to the technology, the radars, etc, that the weather stations use to notice patterns and circulations on levels that cannot be observed through the human eye. However, since you've given the impression that you are more knowledgeable in the area of weather, you'll have to correct me on any information i am putting out here. But since it is these networks (of which some networks seek other organizations for verification or justification) that take the time to form a conclusion and then take more time just to get it out to the public, the same time, i believe, is taken on getting the same information out to the internet, since they are a network. Otherwise, if it takes longer to produce the same information on the internet, it may be pointless to do so if by the time they release the information the warning is already no longer in effect. I know of an open-source weather protocol that i can install here in Linux which is available in Ubuntu's repository (though i forgot the name of it) which i've used before, and they release warnings and other similar information. A bot could be made using that service.

Requesting that i think about a matter you might find to be undesirable. For one, what you think to be the answer contradicts what follows. By seeking meditation, it is not you who tries (emphasis on "tries") to control you, it is the meditation. This goes against your skepticism except if you already tried meditation; however, it is obvious you haven't, since you are thinking about exploring meditation. It also somewhat goes against your atheism, since you are placing your trust and faith in a metaphysical thing. Then we're to the part where you apparently don't deserve relief from a situation, as it implies a (metaphysical) force that is greater than you that is preventing you from obtaining peace. But to put things back into context from my original statement, the problem was due to placing trust in things that fail or have the ability to fail. I do not believe that anyone one in the current population is capable of representing themselves well. The argument is often given that we are not perfect beings—however, that's my point. That mere fact should be more than the deciding factor on what to place your trust in. Logic will always argue for both sides of a matter, therefore decision making is most often faith-based. When experience enters into the picture, logic kicks in more than faith, especially if the experience concerned something that failed. I don't think the majority of the people on earth is going to deny that there is more trouble in the world than peace. Interestingly enough, this trouble is due to materialism, the love for physical things, usually always involving money (whether they have it or not). And now we're back to placing trust in physical things, which i've already discussed in my previous post. (I believe it's obvious to some extent that "you" here is plural.) The question (i.e. the second one in the quote) is an interesting one as it merely asks about desires, not providing a solution to any situation. Depending on the situation, asking the question may provoke (further) depression or wishful thinking. However, wishful thinking implies that hope is involved. Here's the thing about hope: it's tied together with love and faith. If one of them fails, it takes down the others. When in such a state, the person is most likely incapable of exiting the state without outside interference, therefore trusting anything you may find to be dangerous, as you've already placed trust in the very things that failed you. So the situation becomes somewhat circular, perhaps subconsciously asking, "What can i place my trust in?" Since this obviously implies uncertainty, the decision making process is disturbed. However, the key point that should be emphasized in troubling situations is: Trust in that which cannot fail.

PHP will make the learning process easier. It's an easy programming language to understand, mostly thanks to their well-written documentation. But being an interpreted language means it cannot do everything, since PHP is, i would say, a medium to high level programming language. I do not know how one participates in GSOC; however, the page implies that you have to be part of a mentoring organization—whatever that means. They said applications for 2009 will start being accepted today. According to the FAQs, it appears just about any group can be a mentoring organization. Since you are pretty much just starting out in learning how to program (at least that is what i get from your post), it may be better for you to take part in perhaps the 2010th GSOC. Understanding a language and writing some code from the understanding can happen as quick as, i would say, 30 minutes. Of course, the program will be extremely simple, most likely a "Hello World!" program (which in PHP can take up no more than one line). Since you mention modules, that's more complex and requires understanding more than just the language itself, it requires understanding the structure and function of the script or program you're writing a module for. Such implies a (very) good understanding of the language itself.

They don't need access to the server, you made their work easier by using _REQUEST instead of _POST. Why? Because all they need to do is look at the form's source code, look at the name of all the required fields and then just modify the URL of the script. _REQUEST covers both _POST and _GET. If you used only _POST instead of _REQUEST, that means they'd have to work harder by making their own HTML form. This is known as cross site scripting. This allows them to use TEXTAREA where INPUT fields are supposed to be, therefore allowing them to submit new lines—the very thing i said your script should look out for. Technically, you'll only need to filter out the fields that you eventually place in the header. In your case it would be the $from variable. I've already mentioned in a previous post what to look for and how to take care of it. However, the preg_match function uses regular expressions, so i'll provide the code on how it should look like: if (preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\n+|\r+)/i", $from)){ exit("Header injection detected.");}I'ma assume you know where to place this.

You didn't strip the slashes from the message, you only stripped some of the other fields; but place the following at the beginning of the script:ini_set("magic_quotes_gpc", 0); It's called magic quotes. Really annoying to work with especially when working with MySQL. Thankfully they'll be completely gone by PHP 6. They're already marked as deprecated in PHP 5.3.

I guess if it works, then it's okay. I've just never seen that syntax in PHP before. Header injection normally deals with the hacker or user inserting new lines in areas where they are not supposed to. Basically you are supposed to look out for the following characters: %0A, %0D, \n, and \r. If you find these, you should tell the script to exit. You can look for these characters using preg_match. The quickest way would be to do: $_REQUEST = array_map("stripslashes", $_REQUEST);Otherwise you'd have to do $name = stripslashes($_REQUEST['Name']); for each relative field.

He's actually going to be doing something?—need i say more? But seriously, the news concerning him has been pretty general, and there's been more speeches than acting from what i've seen. There's also been some flip-flopping concerning some things he promised. Concerning the economy, i know of the phrase, "You have to spend money to make money," but in a depression? If money leaves the country, then work is basically done in vain, because then we have to print more money to fill the gaps, which will just ruin the American dollar even more. I don't think voting for a "representative" is the best system. If it affects the people, the people should have a say in the matter, giving the matter to the people to vote on the actions that should be taken. I've been seeing some of Obama's speeches on YouTube to see what kind of fallacies i can find (since i hear politicians tend to commit fallacies) and to see what was so great about his speeches. He did commit a lot of fallacies in his speeches, mostly appeal to emotion and false dilemma; begging the question and other fallacies were committed also, but those weren't so (")dangerous.(") I would have much rather preferred Ron Paul (after studying some of the candidates), but Obama's in power now, so there's not much to be done about it now. Regardless, i would have assumed it common sense not to spend when you are not capable of doing so.

I'm not entirely sure which part is coding and which part was made in the GIMP. However, i think the buttons and the 3D object should be centered to be in alignment with the content box (likewise perhaps the W3C icons). I think also rather than fading into that greenish color, it should fade out into a black color or darker blue color. The interesting part about it now, though, is that the reflection on the 3D object is pointing towards the bright side, as if the bright side is actually reflecting light on it, so replacing that greenish side with a dark color would ruin that effect. Regardless, the color for the 3D object needs to be changed to match the background color better, so when changing it, you can change the location of the light, making things work consistently there.Given the position of the buttons, it may be better if they imitate more of a tabbed look. I think also vector and grunge brushes would work well here, that is, after making the aforementioned modifications, like making them appear like they're coming out of the darkness, so to speak. Perhaps even some abstract brushes to go along with it. Then you can perhaps make the background of the context area more transparent, but to where the text is still visible. Also, i'm not sure if you're using actual text or if the text for the buttons was done in the GIMP, but if they were, you should consider a more stylish font. The typography of the layout could use some spicing up. Anyway, i don't having anything else to say.

It would go here: $name = $_REQUEST['Name'];and here (which is not found anywhere explicitly in your code; that is, only found in the foreach loop): $_REQUEST['Message'];Also, this part contains a security flaw: $from = $_REQUEST['Email']; $headers = "From: $from";You aren't filtering the _REQUEST['Email'] variable. This allows for header injection, which would allow anyone to use your script to spam random people. Also, i've never seen curly brackets for accessing arrays before: $fields{"Name"} = "Name"; $fields{"Company"} = "Company"; $fields{"Email"} = "Email"; $fields{"Phone"} = "Phone"; $fields{"Message"} = "Message";This doesn't give you a syntax error?

Spam if irrelevant or if you've been misinformed concerning the area; public service for those without radios or television sets; however, i would suspect that if they can afford internet, they can afford a television set, even if it's a cheap one. If they're being distracted by the internet, i suppose bringing them back into reality would be a good thing. Coding a weather bot. Coding a Yahoo Messenger weather plug-in, if there isn't one already (assuming Yahoo Messenger supports plug-ins). If Yahoo Messenger doesn't support it, request the developers for plug-ins support; that is, if they'll actually listen. But you don't really need to cover all chat rooms. Up to you.

I noticed that too. It appears upon sign up that is the only way to add a site without having to contact Kontera. I don't remember typing in my website either, but i can't deny the fact that the sign up page has a field to add a site. As Pasten shows, adding more sites to one's account requires e-mailing Kontera, which implies the same act for wanting to remove sites, although there may not be an article on that in the Help section. But i'm not sure of the benefit of having to go through the hassle of adding more sites. At the same time, i haven't gone through their Help section and similar sections, so perhaps there is some benefit to it. But i wouldn't be inclined to say that not adding more sites would cause your account to be canceled, since the only current way of adding sites is by contacting Kontera.

Simple and elegant—pretty nice. Also, the emphasis on the word "free" was a good move. I don't have much to say about it except thumbs up.

You could probably pull something off with Alchemy. However, that implies knowing C or C++, which i don't think you know any, let alone would consider making a game completely from scratch like that. The other method of going about it may deal with Java, but Java has its own complexities. In either case, it would require a lot of bandwidth just to host the games. You would probably have to buy your own server to host it on.

You can put your site; i don't think it really matters what you put. I haven't made any money per se, but i'm near the minimum. There doesn't seem to be any catches; however, the IRS can take a piece out of your earnings if you are liable.

Trailing spaces, yes. In your strip_things function, you would include rtrim($string). Looking at changelogs helps in figuring out how to avoid SQL injections or other attempts to obtain administrative privileges.

I did research once on the MySQLi extension for PHP, because i heard it automatically filters out the input. All i could find was that it just uses mysql_real_escape_string(). I still need to do more research on the subject, but if that is all MySQLi does, then i'm a bit amazed. It feels like there would be more. No, you should also filter out any white space. WordPress had a whitespace vulnerability once, if i remember correctly, where the exploiter could register themselves as an already existing user, even as users with administrative privileges. I heard MySQL in the background removes the white space itself. This may also imply that the way WordPress handled its logged-in users wasn't smart in its ways, as it implies that it retrieves the user's privileges based on the name of the user in a specific order, probably due to the fact that the developer thought multiple users with the same name cannot exist. Either way, security is more than just filtering out input, especially if you're depending on another piece of software.
