Advantages:
1: More likely to work for everyone who visits your site (not everyone uses the same browser).
2: Cleaner.
3: Uses less bandwidth (this is why they reccomend you use CSS, which also cuts bandwidth use).
4: Less likely to break (tags like…
You have to pay for a static IP when you have broadband... that sucks.
I know some lesser services don't assign a static IP, but more often than not, they just use a static IP since the connection is always there, even if the computer is turned off …
Yeah, but I don't see much point in buying a domain name just to set up a site like that...
A subdomain such as counter.devdreams.com would be sufficient and much less expencive.
I suppose it is mainly for fun though, and although there's masses of …
Seems like a fun project, even if chances of it actually being anywhere near accurate are rather slim.
If the user has 56k internet, they will have a dynamic IP address, meaning a new one is assigned every time they start up.
If they have broadband,…
Looks good, but you should make the content box wider so that it fills the empty space next to it (inside the main box, there's a load of unused space).
Also, Mustang GT > Camaro SS (IMHO) in terms of looks (the Mustang GT is one of my favourite …
I got pretty much all of my Christmas shopping over a month ago, and didn't even have to go out to do it thanks to my all friend, internet.
I got my parents DVD box sets for about £30-£50 and got decent presents for other family members too.
Yes, …
Erm, I don't really listen to music much.
There's a radio on at work, but I can't really hear it over the other cack that's running.
The last songs I actually listened to were:
Aerosmith - Dream On.
Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God.
Kaiser Chiefs - Every d…
If you're using Internet Explorer, download Firefox (there's Opera as well, but that likes to nuke my PC for some reason, which sucks).
I know that sometimes, in Firefox, pop-up windows open in a new tab, but this isn't as much of a problem since th…
According to Nielsen//NetRatings, it was estimated at 0.5Billion in March 2002... Pretty old, but it should give you a rough idea.
Estimated percentages for 2002:
US 30%
Europe 24%
Asia & Pacific 14%
Latin America 3%
Rest of World 29%
With Hong …
Mine will probably be not to get drunk every weekend...
That's because it's so easy for me to keep to since I hardly ever drink at all and only have one or two cans when I do :D
I don't usually bother with this kind of thing because I don't see much…
Ugh...
Leeds hardly ever gets snow despite being way up in north England.
Scotland got snow, Wales got snow (but not put on some tour guide maps of the UK...), but we didn't :(
It was actually forecast for Thursday and we're supposedly having a cold…
Australia or New Zealand, but preferably Australia.
I have an aunt in New Zealand who I have no real wish to bump into any time soon, and though I also have relatives in Australia, they don't exactly know me since they have, as far as I know, only b…
Memory Stick is the Sony media card format.
It comes in Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo formats with Duo cards being smaller (they can work with the standard MS readers using a convertor which many cards com…
I have no idea what you're asking...
That's just a query string.
Basically, all that does is go to index.php and take some variable values with it.
Defining the value of a query string variable with php is as simple as:
[php]
$var = 1234;
echo "…
At least you did a useful mod.
Someone I know from another forum decided to cut a huge hole in his CD drive... God only knows why :D
I think he also attacked a HDD with some power tools, but that's what boredom does to people.
As far as I understand it (my basic knowlage of P2P networks), I'd assume that MSN would use some form of brokered network.
Brokered networks have a central server which handles connections, but once a connection is set up, the central server cuts o…
If you had used percentile sizing, this would be childs play:
[html]
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
.centered { width: 50%; height: 20%; position: absolute: left: 25%; top: 40%; }
</styl…
Portfolio sites should show off what you can do, but shouldn't be over complicated.
Generally, you should make sure your code is decent as any self confessed nerd will look at your coding skills, though those who are less knowlagable (such as indivi…
Usually, I think of what I want to build and think about what I'll need to do and get a rough idea of how to do it.
I tend to plan out how things should look and feel in my head since I have a decent memory and drawing... ahahahahaaaa... I suck.
I d…
This sort of thing doesn't work, it's really old and I think you're going to give python nightmares.
Seriously, this gag is so 2000, have you been hiding under a rock?
seems to work better than the last one.
You still need to work on the interface though as it's not very nice to look at and it could give a bit more information to those who don't know CSS :|
Not browser dependant.
Google supports Firefox and to show their support other than the "get firefox" link stuff, they have a special skin which is used when you have google as the homepage (http://www.google.com/firefox).
The Firefox vers…
It's not that you aren't allowed, it's just not the best idea in the world.
You see Billy, there's good people and there's bad people in the world.
Good people look after the homeless and donate to charity.
Bad people offer children candy and then t…
That's odd.
My personal google is the same on both, but I'm not redirected at all.
Google.co.uk doesn't have the login link if you're using the firefox skinned version, so you can't use this without going to the normal google anyway :/
I saw this a fair while back when google had just started it.
It's only on google.com though, so it requires that you change your homepage if you plan on using it for the homepage in firefox in the UK as FF uses google.co.uk by default here.
You als…
Wait till next year or so, buy a mac and install windows as a dual boot OS :D
I wouldn't mind doing that with an x86 powerbook myself, but I don't really NEED a windows laptop since I don't play PC gmaes much and I have a windows desktop.
While this may be functional, it's not so useful if you're using mySQL and page inclusion since it lists individual files.
I reccomend using mySQL's fulltext indexing features if you wish to use mySQL and a search system as it's pretty easy to do an…
Why do you want to know how long we poop for?
Isn't that a personal / slightly disturbing question?
I thing http://www.gamingw.net would be a better place to ask that question, if it isn't already listed as a frequently asked question o_o
