Surely Google would object to such usage of the space? Not that I don't like the idea... I just want to keep my GMail account around, not lose it because I bended the rules a bit ;)

Now I'm kind of curious... you spent 3000 dollar... what other specs did you get for that money? :S

[resists urge to roll eyes] So you'd rather get instant "help" from the idiots in Runescape General than get it (still in less than a day) from the people in here, who actually know what they are talking about? Incidentally, you'd also want to work on your spelling and grammar. I think you may have managed to spell half of the words in that piece of text wrong, which is an achievement I guess. Just in the wrong way.

It uses a custom IE control. Thus, you'd need IE installed for it to work (well yeah, try deinstalling IE :roll: but anyway...) As to the Firefox client thing... it may be possible, but not without some programming :). I may try my hand at it when XULRunner (app that is currently under development on mozilla.org, and which is designed to run XUL applications like Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird/Calendar/Lightning, etc. etc.) is a bit more stable... Right now it tends to throw weird crashes, and there's still no official docs on how to make a packageable app for it...

Are you sure the host actually allows file uploads? ~edit: oh, and check the maximum file upload size. Somehow one of my hosts only allowed uploads up to 200kb. Which meant I had trouble getting my gallery online :)

That's very true, but who says you have to become friends through a game? I realize that that's probably what most people on this board are talking about, but it's definitely not the only way. I also think that 'general' online friendships made outside a game will last longer, because in that case, you're more like... friends with the actual person, instead of friends with the player of the game.

We read?

Sure. Store the number of days in a month, and the name of the month in an array of objects, and pick a random item in the array. Then you can use the days value in the array to generate a random day, too. (much cleaner). However, my C knowledge is quite lacking, so I have no idea how you'd do it in C. I could do it in JavaScript though (which might be a helpful reference): var months = [ {name: "January", days: 31}, {name: "February", days: 28}, {name: "March", days: 31}, {name: "April", days: 30}, {name: "May", days: 31}, {name: "June", days: 30}, {name: "July", days: 31}, {name: "August", days: 31}, {name: "September", days: 30}, {name: "October", days: 31}, {name: "November", days: 30}, {name: "December", days: 31}]; var randomMonth = Math.floor(Math.random() * 12); var randomDay = Math.floor(Math.random() * months[randomMonth].days) // Alert (pop up a dialog box) for lack of a print statement in JS alert("The date is " + months[randomMonth].name + " " + String(randomDay) + ".") /* Note that javascript doesn't have the oh-so-handy printf statement, so we have to concatenate manually, see above. * It could be done neater using a lambda replace, but if you just started learning C then that'd probably be way over your head for now. */ Again, note my C knowledge with regards to arrays and objects is lacking, but your teacher should probably be able to help you here.

The CHMOD (I don't know exactly how it works, just copying from instructions for a gallery script) on some hosts, for example Lycos / Tripod, may need to be set to a 4 digit code instead (which means it'll use some weird kind of extension to the regular CHMOD, again, don't ask me) Link to the instruction I'm talking about: http://yapig.sourceforge.net/doc/en/install.html

Might I suggest you stop being a moron yourself, insulting the regulars (also my friends) around here? It's not going to help you get help if you just act like a jerk (and a fool, since you're not reading what they're telling you to read).

When you use the MS Java VM, updates for it show up in Windows Update (there has been at least one that I know of). Last time I checked, support for it will continue until 2006. Which means possible exploits will get/are fixed. Plus who's to say the Sun one doesn't have exploits ? Maybe as-of-yet undiscovered ones ? Well, at least ByteVerify won't get you, will it? :) Either way, SUN *invented* JAVA. It's a) highly unlikely their implementation will have that many flaws still (as it's been around a lot longer than MS's) and B) Microsoft is, by law forbidden to distribute their Java, as Merc said. So, while they may continue giving updates for people who still use it, I wouldn't count on it.

For once: :roll: Get a life.

All of them in general believe the same thing. Same with juedaism. There are Orthodox Jews and the regular Jew. Just like Catholics and the average christian. It's all a matter of interpretation, and I believe all christian sects at the very least follow the New testament in one way or the other, which was the point... While it's true that they all believe in 'just about the same thing', I'd not want to go as far as comparing Catholics to Orthodox Jews as to how strict they are... Some protestant sects will in fact be stricter than some Catholic groups. Anyhow, there are way too many forms of christianity to really discuss here, so umm, yeah :). Just pointing out that Catholics are not necessarily more strict than other Christians (while, I believe, Orthodox Jews are indeed more strict than other Jews).

I don't know about spelling, but Passover is simply the English word for Pesach (which is a Hebrew word :) ). I'd also want to add that Jews consider some kinds of food 'unclean', and will for example not eat pork. 'Clean' food is called 'kosher' (see Rease's title). This can sometimes even go as far as not eating some colors of smarties, since (for example) the red ones are colored by a chemical which is not kosher. How strict jews stick to these rules will vary. Christians (in general) have no such thing as 'kosher' food - they can eat pork if they want to, or anything else for that matter :)

Cameron, you missed the point. The hardware goes slower/faster, and then spling can use the control panel (where the settings haven't changed) to correct that. At least, that's what I'm reading here. As for the new mouse bit... generally, these kinds of warranties make you pay shipping to return the old one. Now, for me, that mostly means to someplace foreign, it might not be the same for you, but since it's a package, that tends to be more expensive than just getting a new one... You'd have to ask in wherever you bought it (if you can still prove you have a warranty), and take a decision depending on what they tell you. Using the warranty and shipping it might also mean you're without a mouse for an indefinite amount of time :( (They tend to take a while if they want to repair it). On the other hand, if the shop had any warranty on it, they might give you a new one. Depends how/where you bought it, really :(

WMP + Firefox = Mud. Seriously, I have no idea whose fault it is, but using 'WMP' as a keyword, Bugzilla gives 17 open bugs (mostly evangelist) and using 'Windows Media Player' gives 39 (about half being evangelist). I don't know what's sucking, but something is :( I don't know enough about the crash you're having in order to try and see which of the bugs you're seeing - if you installed Talkback, that would definitely help (if it's invoked, that is). You could also try if you get the same problem using Firefox trunk nightly builds - but I'm not recommending you trying that option until you're really desperate. Nightly builds tend to be unstable. (Just yesterday there was a bug that crashed nightlies whenever you closed a tab with an image in it (regression). So meh. (fixed now, I hope)) As for the hijackthis log, like Cameron said, only a full log would be really helpful here :)

Keiphus mentioned them already, but if you read LOTR and Harry Potter, the Narnia series are pretty good too (and yeah, the new movie is looking good so far :) ) Anyhow, you can basically read any of the books by itself, IIRC. I started with the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but the order of writing is not even equal to the chronological order of the books, so meh. You should be able to read them in any order. See: http://books.narnia.com/chronicles/cslewis/creation.htm And: http://books.narnia.com/chronicles/books/index.htm

But the security of the entire thing will suck, and you will have no idea how the setup works (unless you have experience with doing it all yourself, which will still mean you'll have to check what the hell wamp did to your setup). Oh, and excuse me for not quoting you literally, but your spelling, punctuation and grammar was so abysmal that I thought I ought to try and make it readable for others without them having to reread everything three times.

Its possible ;) and its done so that people who abuse sig privaliges, such as releatedly putting images against the rules, lose their rights. Yes, but then they'd still be able to view other people's sigs, right? And judging from what the thread starter has said, that's also a problem.

That's bull. Dell and just about all the other main sellers out there let you pick components. Try it yourself - it may be more expensive than getting stuff yourself, but you can definitely customize whatever Dell comes up with. Good thing, too. if I wouldn't have upgaded my RAM and a few other items it would have been $600 I sort of guessed that ;). There's not a lot of Dells that come with 1GB of RAM by default, and most would have had a larger HDD by default (and been a lot more expensive, etc. etc.) As for Norton, are you trying to remove it through add/remove programs in the control panel? If so, check under the Control Panel's user management thingy if your account is set to be an Administrator :)

Huh? So if he installs what he needs, instead of installing crap he doesn't need as well, he's wasting time? Weird sense of logic... :?

Actually, everything but the first is a sunrise. I took them at about 6.30 local time (the time on my camera was dutch time, so one hour earlier). We had to be somewhere near a hotel place, somewhat uphill, for an excursion. So I took the opportunity to make the above. I suppose that you're right though, so it may have been better to go there earlier (in this case). Thanks for the hints though :D

Thrawn was one of the Emprors Grand Admirals - in fact, the only non-human. He was the last one left ten years after ROTJ and basically used the remnants of the Empire's fleet to mount an offensive against Coruscant and the New Republic. The books start with this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... s&n=507846 And go onto Dark Forces Rising and the Last Command (this is of Timothy Zahn's series - not the entire Star Wars "Saga") Sometimes I *am* glad that I know absolutely nothing of Star Wars... Anyhow, everybody who does care, have fun at the movies :)

Umm, yeah. Well, you asked for it. *shrug* I care more about the originals than about the sig - if I wanted a goodlooking sig, I could just use stock photos.

Orff would be a good pick, yeah. But you may want to be more explicit about HÃÆÃâÃâändel - a Sarabande is a dance. HÃÆÃâÃâändel and others wrote hundreds if not thousands of them - which do you mean? :P I'll see if I can think of something :)
