 | Life is cruel and unfair. And because it's unfair, people take advantage of that. Sorry to hear that you lost all that cash. One of the rules in life, though, is to not be part of a sweepstake that requires you to shell out cash before you see the dough.  |
 | Happy birthday Dianne! Can't wait till we all go bowling when the place is finished! |
 | Watch out when filtering curse words. If the text submitted handles text formating like <b> tags (or b wrapped in brackets like this and other forums do), I could easily do something <b>s</b>hit and it would spell out you know what with the "s" in bold. I think this is … |
| | [QUOTE=Catweazle]This should have been placed In the Windows NT, etc Forum Section[/QUOTE] Yes. Off it goes to the "Windows NT/2000/XP/2003" forum. *Boom!* |
 | So, what do you do? What do you like? What do you hate? What are your hobbies? I think we all know that we have computers in common. Some of us are into programming, while others into networking, hardware, etc. But what's the other side of you like? The side … |
| | Here's a thread I posted on previous forum regarding the three: I've used PHP, ASP, and ColdFusion, and out of the three, ColdFusion is probably the most fun to play with. Of course, this is a very biased question to begin with. If you ask a C++ programmer what the … |
| | Hey all, glad to see familiar faces around the forums. How y'all been? I hope some of you remember me... I was here when Daniweb was just a baby.... :cool: |
| | Re: monodevelop I'm still wondering why they named it "mono." I know "mono" means monkey in Spanish, but in English, one of its meanings is mononucleosis. That's like saying Microsoft came out with a new framework called Cancer.NET. (Microsoft haters will have a ball with this pun. LOL.) |
| | I thought this was an interesting article. It discusses the decline in computer science enrollments. Also, be sure to check out the discussion that follows the article over at builder.com. [quote] At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as in other schools across the country, computer science enrollments are dropping, raising … |
 | Those are regular web sites. Probably from [url="http://www.4templates.com/"]http://www.4templates.com[/url] or [url="http://www.templatemonster.com/"]http://www.templatemonster.com[/url]. What they probably do is create the layout in something like Photoshop, then use Fireworks or ImageReady to slice it up, tweak it and clean it up, add some CSS, possibly create a Dreamweaver template out of it, and presto. …  |
| | Are you just trying to open up a new window when something is pressed? Why not try the TARGET="_BLANK" method (insert this in your "A HREF" tag)? Or the following method: [code] <script language="javascript"> <!-- function popupNewWindow(page) { window.open(page, "AddTask", "width=570,height=560,location=no,scrollbars=yes,menubars=yes"); } --> </script> <a href="javascript:popupNewWindow('somepage.htm')">Click insert new</a>[/code] Not sure … |

| | Sounds good. Another good place to go, where I usually go to buy books is to Microcenter. Every book is 15% off automatically, new or old. There's also a special section, 3 shelves front and back, of books up to 95% percent off. I've bought several good books from that … |
| | This is a very handy little tool. It's a simple process killer. Works pretty well whenever you got a program/process going and the Task Manager won't close it no matter what. This closes it. :) http://www.xeonstudio.com/files/pskill.exe |
| | Re: Edit flash? If you want to save a SWF file that's on a page, you can view the source and look for the file with a .swf extension the do the add the following to the address bar of IE : [code] about:<a href="URL_TO_SWF_FILE">Download</a> [/code] This will create a mini page with … |
| | Re: LogoDesignz I think their design is too basic. People in other forums agree. Is there another company you have in mind? Not too flashy though. |
 | Re: which degree I think you should stick with CS. Too many people have a CIS degree. Why? Well, one of the reasons is just like you said: [quote=big_k105] have found all the theory stuff to be really hard and havent been doing so good in the university level... [/quote] Sure, CIS might … |

| | First, let me say that every here answer might be biased because it's a computer forum. Yes, even mine. ;) Have you posted in a math forum?[quote=Extro]Is it possible to get into the computer industry doing entry-level programming and working your way up doing software engineering, database programming/adminstration, etc, with … |
 | Do you mean forum? I don't know what a furom is. :cool: If it's a forum, then do you want to create one from scratch or use premade ones? Let me know. Both require a little know how, but setting up a premade one is easier. |
| | Me either. I don't see the humor. Even if you had said you used a piece of wood as an adapter, I still wouldn't find it humorous. Any explanations?  |
| | Well, the reason why Perl is going to stay for a while is that most servers already come with it free (CGI). So that's a benefit. A lot of hosts come with it also (bin directory). Now, just because it's free, and it's been around for a while, doesn't mean … |
| | Google spiders web sites periodically, so you don't have to worry about resubmitting. That goes with other search engines as well. If you want to check out cached versions of your site or any other site for that matter, you can check out: [url="http://www.waybackmachine.org/"]http://www.waybackmachine.org/[/url] - it's interesting. You can see … |
| | Re: Factorial? Pardon me, aeinstein, but don't you think a pm on that would have been more appropriate? ;) I'm just joking. Ok now someone say it back to me. :)  |
| | Re: C++ Well, what are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to learn programming in general or want to start developing applications as soon as possible? Both of these languages have their ups and downs. Let me know what it is you're looking for. I'm a big books person when it … |
| | [size=4]Sams Teach Yourself Active Server Pages in 24 Hours[/size] [b]by Christoph Wille, Christian Koller[/b] Worth it for its price, but prepare to work - If you buy this book, then be prepared to work. If you're new to the whole programming field, or maybe just web programming, don't think the … |
| | I don't think Perl is a good place to start. I think C++ would be better. I'm not saying Perl is a bad language, but I don't think it should be your first. C++ has more capabilities than most programming language out there, and it's highly used in the work … |
| | That's cool. I'm not a big fan of YIM though. I don't know too many people that use it. Most of them, unfortunately use AOL or AIM. I'd rather use ICQ but no one I know uses that either. :D You would think, AOL owning ICQ, that they would connect … |
| | Anyone try out the new MX products? So far I've tried Flash MX and Dreamweaver MX, and I have to say, I'm VERY impressed! Flash MX now has prebuild components such as form objects: text boxes, buttons, list boxes and more. Also, the interface has changed... for the better. It … |
| | How much PHP do you know? You could just calculate the time length between the last login and registration time (if they've never logged in yet), or between the last two logins. If it equals x amount of time, then delete'em. How complicated is your current script? I could probably … |
| | There's no doubt that if you use ASP, you want to go for SQL Server 7/2000. Contains a hell of a lot of features, including Triggers/Stored Procedures/and Text Indexing. SQL Server 2000 now can be used along side XML. It has a good learning curve, and the interface makes it … |
| | Re: Self Hosting I never understood why you'd run a web site from home. The electricity, hardware, and software you spend (if you go with non-open source) costs more per month than a web host where you'd only pay $5.00 a month. I guess I can see why someone would want to do … |
| | What I'm amazed at is how a 6 year old knows more about configuring Windows than her parents. I went to my friend's house and her cousin knew more about computers than when I was 14. Yikes!  |
| | OUCH! :shock: I don't think they're THAT bad. The apps of the web can be better, but the other isn't THAT bad. It's no [url]http://www.shiny.com[/url] or [url]http://www.2advanced.com[/url] , but it's ok. I like your harsh honesty though... LOL... "I don't want so sound harsh..." 8) |
| | That's a heavy question. Are you interested in web applications? Desktop applications? Network? What is your operating system of choice? Are you looking for an environment where you will have the most fun programming or just there to make money? That's a tough question to answer. If I do give … |

| | The only way I could think of is passing URL variables as FORM through JavaScript. Try this: [url="http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/WebDevSoftware/ColdFusion/Q_20722406.html"]http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/WebDevSoftware/ColdFusion/Q_20722406.html[/url] |

| | [size=4]Core PHP Programming: Using PHP to Build Dynamic Web Sites[/size] [b]by Leon Atkinson[/b] More of a reference book ... and a mediocre one - Don't expect to learn much from this book. The tutorial is mediocre and so is the reference. This book could've fit in about 100 pages or … |
 | This isn't really a computer problem, just something strange that happened. A while back, when the power went out for a few days on the northern east coast, the power went out at the same exact time I unplugged my computer, which I do on very rare occassions. |
| | Well almost as fast. Even though it's the .NET architecture C# and C++ (even more) will always have less overhead than VB. |
| | Re: Qt programming [QUOTE=shalin]hi all what is the future of Qt programming. how many companies are working with open source Qt designer ... thanks. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]The best advice I could give you is to go to monster.com, dice.com, and hotjobs.com, and search for "Qt" or "Qt programming." Also, if you haven't check out [url="http://www.trolltech.com/newsroom/index.html"]http://www.trolltech.com/newsroom/index.html[/url], … |

| | Personally, I hate games created with languages that were originally designed for the web. HTTP is not persitent, so you cannot have a live game unless you constantly refresh the page. You could however use a Java applet and dump that on a page, but I hate programming in Java … |
| | Cool. I see that you added a neat feature where you get a 404 Not Found error when people visit the page. Friggin' A. |
 | & characters are allowed, however, there are some e-mail providers that don't allow you to have that character in your account name. |
The End.
