  • Am I the only one waiting for a movie where Python hits himself on the head or in the groin or something... I know it's cruel, but I always find those movies (like those on newgrounds) where people hurt themselves or look dumb attempting to copy mar…
  • Both my PC's have legal copies of XP. I prefer linux when doing stuff other than Delphi programming as Windows is a resource hog...
  • I'm guessing LAN parties don't count there (I have TFT's and my case, though lame, has a handle, so it's not too hard to haul about). Anyway, going beyond the laptop we have... OQO Model 1 £1,535 http://www.oqo.com/hardware/basics/ Runs XP pro (not…
  • Fit some brushed steel face plates to your drives on your PC... it looks stupid as it is :[ You may have a better computer, but I win in the printer and monitor departments with a 15" TFT and a 17" TFT as well as a printer, scanner, copier…
  • I like the portability of laptops, but desktops are infinitely better in terms of customisation since you have extra drive bays and card slots which can be used to add all sorts of things. If, for example, I wanted to add a 200GB HDD to a laptop on …
  • You're still not a ninja though :D I have a fold away tanto, but it's heavy as hell... Good for opening boxes and cutting branches and such because of the STRENGTH (real folded stell, not that laser cut cack).
  • I don't have YIM. I used to use Integrity, which supports YIM, AIM, MSN and so on, but I had a few problems with it causing other apps to malfunction when it was enabled and it didn't always like connecting, so I uninstalled it. I don't like IM clie…

  • (Quote) GCSE level IT basically covers general PC usage such as turning the computer on and learning to use Word :/ GCSE's are what you get here when you sit your exams in high school and they can determine what courses you can enrol in at college a…
  • Felix advertised this place on Gamingw.net and since other such sites I visit have ground to a halt and I had nothing better to do, I thought I'd join. Sites on nerdy subjects like programming interest me :/
  • Ah, the Sony T610... My dad has one of those, but he also has a Samsung (one of those sliding ones), so he doesn't use it. I had the T630, which is the next one up and doubles as a low quality digital camera (if you use the side button to take photo…
  • I noticed this a long time ago, and while it's something I'd like to see rectified, it's a simple case of "if it's not broken, don't fix it". The Google site is simple enough that it should be usable in most of the major browsers and quite…
  • Apparently, Targetfirst owes One of it's users $2100, which is a lot to be conned out of and the Direct Music Video site (http://directmusicvideos.com/) is owed $1,500. Targetfirst could be in for quite a battle since it's users provided them with a…
  • (Quote) My disliking of WYSIWYG is because both Dreamweaver anf Frontpage create non-compliant code( especially Frontpage), not that it's any kind of "lazy" editing tool. Adobe macromedia (gah!) stated that they couldn't be bothered with m…
  • Don't bother with Redhat as it isn't free anymore... Fedora is the free Redhat alternative, but I have heard a few people whining about it. The best thing would be to try something like Mandriva, Ubunto or Knoppix if you're looking into using Linux.…
  • My Apache test server uses PHP 4 and my Xitami test server uses 4 and 5 (I don't have that active much though as Apache is better).
  • 1: TV / monitor / DVD player remote. 2: MDK 2, Worms World Party, Tropico, Pharoah, AoE Gold, Dungeon Seige, C&C: Tiberian sun & Red Aleart 2, GTA (first one), Fallout 2, Guild Wars and other random games I never play. 3: Various software di…
  • Bleh, let me think... I once ended up with a year of hosting with powweb and a domain after making a friend at Teencoderz. I was having hosting problems and he needed a site designing, so I did him some work and he offered to host me on a server he …
  • I would like to have a job doing web dev and such, but there's few places in England which do such things as American companies get most of the work due to lower prices. My graphics skills aren't the best, but I am fairly decent with XHTML, HTML 4.0…
  • I prefer Firefox myself, but I didn't like having to reinstall with every little update and it sometimes ground to a halt when I was doing a lot. Opera actually has the best tabbing in my opinion since it does what Firefox and other do, but it recor…
  • Yeah, this is fairly uselss since it can actually crash the server if the image is large or complex enough. I have a similar script I built which converts an image to coloured hash symbols (#), but that does tend to crash my PC at times... I was act…
  • PCPlus magazine has tested all three of the latest versions of Firefox, Opera and Explorer and it's findings may be something of a blow to Opera users and a supprise to anti-Explorer users. IE7 (beta) was found to be about 7 seconds faster than fire…
  • Erm, I doubt it. VB is completely different to C++ and C# and the main connections are that Microsoft produces IDE's for them and the .NET framework can be used. C# differs from C++ as it's supposed to be a completely rebuilt language, not just an o…
  • I also found this to be a problem. I'd reccomend using a font of at least 11 pixels in size, which should be viewable on 1024x768 resolution monitors (like mine, till I get a SVGA cable and link my PC to my 17" LCD TV... but I'll probably do th…
  • (Quote) No, I was trying to find a version of Linux which would easily allow me to access my WiFi network using my USB PRISM2 card without too much coding, which resulted in me installing SuSE (also, I was being lazy so I couldn't be bothered to dow…
  • Apple has now officially announced that they are selling Ipod's with movie playback capabilities. The Ipod Video is the replacement for the Ipod Photo, which had it's features built into every new Ipod since the release of the Ipod Nano, which is a …

  • IE7 does have tabbed browsing (about bloody time, not that I'll ever use IE again) and there's a good number of pop-up blockers which work with IE. IE7 should have pop-up blocking, but IE7 is only in XP Service Pack 2 and above, though beta versions…
  • Well, pop-up blockers still aren't perfect and some sites do get through. Pop-up advertising has died down considerably since browsers like Firefox and Opera started gaining popularity as it's simply not effective. Banner advertising is still rather…
  • I usually work alone unless I'm working on something other people have started or if I'm doing work for other people, when I colaborate with the person or group I'm doing the work for so I know what they want :/ Some of the stuff I work on isn't rea…
  • Seems decent... You appear to have feedback on the main page from somone living pretty close to me. Bradford is joined to Leeds and both places shair the same airport. Leeds and Bradford are supposed to be in competition, but we have the countries b…
  • Sessions are destroyed when the user closes their browser or turns the PC off, nothing is saved to the PC. This is why sessions are commonly used on sites which are high security as it makes it harder to turn off and stay logged in, which is bad if …
