  1. Hah, imagine if that happened in Finland. It would be a huge public scandal, I doubt you have anything to worry about.
  2. If I had a school laptop, I would do a few spyware checks first- Because spyware is exactly what that is. After making a big deal of it, I'd install Ubuntu and forget about the whole thing and make use of the laptop. :-)
  3. Indeed, make sure that session_start() is before anything is printed. That means that this will not work: <!doctype html> <head><title>Blah</title></head> <html> <body> <?php session_start(); //Rest of your code here ?> </body> </html> Because session_start() needs to send the headers, if headers are sent before it's called, you'll get an error (Headers already sent in file.php on line X). This is how you'd do it: <?php session_start(); ?> <!doctype html> <head><title>Blah</title></head> <html> <body> <?php //Rest of your code here ?> </body> </html>
  4. I think there's a way to not set the status if you haven't set it already (Technical stuff: By removing the entry from the HTML form with firebug/greasemonkey or similar) but I can't think of a way that could remove it without actually going into the database and making a few queries.
  5. Smoking makes you incredibly cool, it just kills you in the process.
  6. OGG/Theora is the best choice if you ask me; It is both open source and free from patents, unlike H.264, and although H.264 requires no license as of now (And won't until at least 2016) and has an open source implementation it is still a non-free codec that users must download separately in open source operating systems/get a license just like MP3 on Ubuntu. Not only that, but OGG/Theora produces competitive, if not better image quality.

    Today...

    Oh really? Also my avatar = best on TIF now. Don't try and argue it. I was going to argue that it's ugly and I don't know what it is, but you're Nadril. You can't argue with that. :/

    Flattr

    ^ You get the product for free anyway, whether you press the flattr button or not. It works using the principles of wanting to share and spontaneous combustion impulse purchases. Usually by the time you've decided to hit the paypal button and are typing in your account password, you've had plenty of time to change your mind. And then there's the fact that you're giving away money that you can almost certainly do without.

    Flattr

    I don't know. There are still other ways of getting money, like selling physical copies of your content before releasing it on the internet. Some projects that have done/are doing that? Big Buck Bunny, Elephants Dream, Yo Frankie! and now Project Durian/Sintel. OT: That video is also proof that they can't speak Swedish properly in Sweden.

    Silly fears

    Something similar happens to me, but I have found I can ignore them.
  11. Don't you mean 2038? Or maybe that was a typo. Yeah, in 2038, all systems that use 32-bit UNIX time (Linux, Mac OS X, etc.) will reset, or to be precise, think it's 1901. A lot like Y2K. Year 2038 problem
  12. Even though I don't live anywhere near Australia, this worries me pretty badly. It could have a domino effect.
  13. I suppose this is ready to sticky then. If you want to make those examples, Cloak, it's fine and I'm sure it would be interesting to have a more abnormal language like Lisp on the guide too.
  14. Why would they code their own browser instead of just using HTML? o_O I suppose if the site is incredibly high-traffic, that it could cut down on bandwidth, but otherwise it seems kind of strange.

    Silly fears

    I saw that happen the other day- The door just opened again. It's just one of those mysterious things that you never want to find out. Homemade floury tortillas give me shivers. I'm not afraid of them, it's just whenever I try to eat one and feel that weird rough feeling it makes me shiver. o_O I suppose that doesn't really count as a fear then.
  16. Interestingly enough, the other day I plugged a USB BT card into my computer and I had to do absolutely nothing to get it to work. I mean, BT is a standard by now, you should just be able to get something pretty generic and plug it in.
  17. [spoiler=Chevrolet Camero] And, maybe not big or fancy, but I really like the look of the BMW 1 series. [spoiler=BMW 1 series four door]
  18. Used Tiigon's C++ and Makoto's ARM. :) I think that this is done now, unless someone has some correction to make. If someone would read through this/get someone to read through this it would be great.
  19. I need an example of C++ and then I think I'm pretty much finished. Anyone got one?
  20. ...And Nokia, naturally. :) Saw that a few days ago, I think on Slashdot.
  21. I don't really like it, it seems unnecessary to me, and always annoys me when I log on to my parent's Windows machine. Good that they have a Linux client now though.
