  1. After making 5 posts, and waiting a few hours, your Mycents value is listed on your Profile and on each posting on the left hand side.
  2. If you are not actually using XML in your application, that line can be deleted and the confusion goes away.Otherwise, echo the html equivalent of the "<?" and the error may go away.
  3. And when are you "yanks" going to start spelling 'colour' correctly?
  4. A 'discussion' is not a place to submit personal attacks. Use your argument as a logical defense, not slurrying the opposition. It is a logical fallacy to attack the individual rather than the points discussed. http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ad-hominem.html Let's keep it clean... no name-calling or flaming. One great thing about a democratic system is that we all have the right to be wrong. Everyone of us has their personal beliefs and are equally free to express them here on the Forum. Whether you agree with another stated opinion is a matter left entirely up to you, based on your personal beliefs.
  5. What about Google Wave? or Firefox Weave? or Linux Ubuntu One?These are also 'cloud-based' applications for communication, file backups and file sharing?Are you familiar with them?
  6. moved from Entertainment sub-forumI really think you need to discuss this issue with your family doctor. Make an appointment in the AM.It won't cost you anything.Are you under any stress at this time of your life? School? Job? relationship?How is your general health? Are you fit and active throughout the day?Any history of this in your family? Are you eating well? Any change in diet? When did you have your last cup of coffee?Lots of things that might be touching this experience off, as the above questions indicate.I hope you figure it out soon.
  7. It seems to work fine as a collaboration tool, however, the 'Beta' nature of the product, and the lack of availability of accounts creates a problem in that there is not enough coverage for the members of the World Wide Web. If you have a ton of friends or co-workers on the Beta application, and information to collaborate with, it would be fine, but as a general web application, I have almost zero use for it.It is also difficult to search out those who currently are running the application. It needs to have a friend finding side to it, like Skype does or Facebook. On those applications, you can seek out people and connect. I have not found a method to do that in Google wave. Maybe I'll re-visit the account and see if that has been recently added.I'm looking forward to using the facilities, but I can't imagine what I can use it for.By the way, I have Invitations if anyone needs them. PM or email me. Or search for the Invitation thread here on the Xisto.
  8. Topic split from another thread.No hijacking threads, please and thanks.
  9. The dump_data.php is allowing for the entire db to be retrieved in the query.The Select statement requires a WHERE clause defining the date range.
  10. Here is a link to a site which has a decent, layman's explanation of the definition of a Recession versus a Depression. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ A recession is a period of at least two quarters of negative growth in the economy of a country. A depression is generally considered to be a sustained Recession, although they mention that a Depression requires a drop in the country's Gross National Product by a factor of 10% or more. I haven't actually heard that there has been a full "depression". And those Bank failures are due to bad lending practices at the Banks. That can happen even during the good times, too, if the Bank is not careful.
  11. Linux users can install Avidemux to do the conversion from flv to mp3.Of course, you need to download the flv from Youtube. I would suggest a Firefox Add-on named Download Helper for that.
  12. The shoot out only got implemented so Mr Shortypants Bettman could try to sell the game to US television. It creates a more predictable scheduling time.Real Hockey goes into real overtime. Play until someone wins the game.I wish Bettman would go back to where he came from. The jerk is ruining a perfectly good sport. Hockey in Florida? and Arizona? Get real... He is just sucking up to the American Owners. Why not Hamilton or Winnipeg? Atlantic Canada? Saskatoon? Quebec City? ... because Bettman can't find them on a map... the twerp!
  13. I can't keep track of all he places that Canada has helped throughout the world. The difference is that we don't throw it up into the media main stream.
  14. the way I like ramen noodles is to cook the noodles as per directions above adding some chopped veggies, ie: broccoli, onion, mushroomand near the last 30 seconds, crack an egg into the middle of the pot, stirring enough to just break the yoke. add a spash of soya sauce, possibly a drip of tobasco or whatever you like. give it another light stir and the egg should turn white when cooked.yummy.
  15. Can someone take the initiative to create a graphic for the winners?leave the text of the title and winner on a separate layer, then the individual names and award text can be added.
  16. I whole heartedly cocur with BH on this point.Global Climate Change is what it should be called. Man has impacted the natural systems of the Planet and the effect is to disturb the weather patterns, kill some plants and animals, poison our water sources and wreak havoc in general. Mudslides, drought, excessive temperatures, flooding, Hurricanes/tornados are being caused by our raping of the resources of the planet. We need to stop doing those things which are killing the world, its people, and its occupants. Plants and animal.
  17. I'll bet you could do the same thing with Pita bread. Cut the pita in half and stuff the goodies inside. Love to see some more good recipes from you.
  18. Adding RAM is probably the cheapest way to improve your system's functioning. I bought 2 - 1 Gig cards for my laptop on a special deal at Newegg for $15.00USD and had them mailed to me by a friend in the states. Locally, in Canada, they wanted around $125CDN for a 1 gig card.Look at Newegg and/or Tiger Direct. They have special deals happening all the time. Make sure the cards you buy meet all the specs for your machine. Check your RAM specs at crucial.com and your computer manufacturer's site.What do you have for a RAM card now?
  19. Firefox was updated for me today to FF 3.5.7 but I didn't have this issue.Do a System Update to see if 3.5.7 works better for you.
  20. "Global Warming" is a misnomer. "Climate Change is the correct word. It has to do with the change in the atmosphere, pollution, and other impacts on the physical environment caused by Man's interaction with the Earth's natural systems. Like a pot of water on a stove, it takes some time to get it boiling, but once it does, even if you turn the heat off, the boiling continues. For one thing, we need to reduce (if not stop) using Hydro-carbon based fuels and become more aware of our impact on the earth's natural systems. The energy we burn ends up with consequences. Weird weather patterns is just the tip of the iceberg. (pardon the pun)
  21. I agree. Texting and cell phone usage while driving is a dangerous act and needs to stop.
  22. Congratulations to all of the winners, and also to those whose names were in the running.The community is strong only because of the membership, and this year's Xisto awards show the diversity of the group. Many thanks to those who voted for me, but a bigger thanks to those who were also in the running. It is often the contributions of others that stimulate my desire to participate here, so please continue prodding me to be the best Moderator, programmer and member which I can be. I really didn't expect to come out on the top end of these awards, but am honoured to be chosen.
