I don't like the idea of this being a required field. What business does anyone have knowing my username?

Gosh, how original! People, grow up, and instead of feeding 'funny' answers to bots where all the hard coding has been done for you, go do something actually useful. It's like the people that say 'I made a website design', and then link to some piece of ... default freewebs design. Seriously.

And then to think Newptor won't even allow encoded hostmasks from a whois reply to be pasted into the IRC chat. (note that the hostmasks are encoded such that the result is unique, but the encoding is irreversable without knowing the 3 unique numbers that IRC server uses for its encryption. Those numbers are in the server configuration file, which nobody can access, unless they have access to the server's filesystem, which is far worse than just knowing your IP.

And you want all that, for free, Azvy? Some idea about what rewards (apart from eternal gratitude) are connected to the thing would be helpful. As well as an idea of when you want it finished. My time is limited, especially the next two weeks (exam preparation, then actual exams). However, the amount of time I have available sort of depends on what the return for spending that time on X is. Sure, playing games is fun, but earning something on a fun project is also fun. Lastly, could you show a preview of the design? What it's like will likely determine how much work it'll be. And how do you want to update it? Because it sounds to me like you're looking for a CMS-like solution :)

I'd argue he's at war with his people, whom he oppresses, which can hardly be called peace. And he has been at war with the US at times. Anyhow, that's not really too relevant to the discussion, but I do think a military commander will at least *in general* not come in peace.

bjbj was actually supporting you, I think :) I don't have the time to read it all at the moment, but I do have one nit: String foo = new String("bar-" + someVariable); Why are you using a string constructor here? You've already set the variable type, isn't java okay with: String foo = "bar-" + someVariable; ? Also, I'm not a native English speaker and have enjoyed my Maths education in Dutch. I'm not familiar with "Cramer's rule", but is your program correct in reporting NaN for 3 out of the 4 result values? :) You could maybe use isNaN to check for it, and display something else instead (maybe that there are no results with these parameters or something).

I don't know python very well, but shouldn't you set a double/single data type on those variables? I'd be guessing their integers at the moment :) Sharper's right though, a python forum would be a better place.

Err, let's get one thing straight. I never even commented on how good the actual program was. I was just pointing out that what you said in your first post was absolute rubbish. One program is not enough to keep you safe. Common sense works much better. Anyhow... can I ask how the RIAA even got onto your computer if you were actually running a good firewall?

I never did any'thang' on these forums. Haha thankyou :) see i'm not making it up.. tsk tsk If Chris says you're a cabbage, things must be pretty bad - I wouldn't be too happy with that if I were you :? .

However, as Mad pointed out, the consequences of that racism would be less severe. I do agree that the justice system seems to need fixing as-is, though. (meaning, they should appoint new (black / latino) AG's).

Bye Forceape, best of luck with your life :). By request, no more comments to mr. Nice Guy...

For the love of all you and/or anyone else considers holy, can you please try and make readable posts? Capitalization, spelling and grammar are no crimes, you know... I haven't played any of these games, so no comments from me.

the partition resizing/bootloader was my main problem. i tryed to instal a copy writen aroun 2000 and i got an err message saying it wasnt compatible. dose the verson that you linked to resize the partition and installs a bootloader? Every Linux distro that doesn't run off a cd installs a bootloader (unless you already have a good one running (good means: not a Windows-only one), otherwise it can't even boot (gosh, wonder why they call it a bootloader, eh?) LILO is one bootloader, the other one Keb Ryo meant is probably GRUB. Anywho... I'm rather confused why you're so intent on installing Linux while you can't even find a distro on your own. http://www.debian.org http://www.ubuntulinux.org http://fedora.redhat.com/ http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/ ... etc. Most importantly: http://www.distrowatch.org Just googling for 'Linux distro' gives all these sites (save Debian, which I added myself). Personally, I've always used Debian, and I love it. It's exceptionally easy to maintain debian systems because of the package management system (which is also included in Ubuntu, and I think also in Mandriva, but I'm not sure). Incidentally, I'm pretty sure a lot of the partition resizers that are present in installation cd's will erase the data present on the partition in order to resize it. Read the installation manuals, FAQs and the installation screens themselves very carefully.

If you only have one account, that account must have admin privileges. Don't just auto-login into an account with admin privileges, that's a potential security risk. There's a registry key for this if you still want it, google around for it.

And WinAmp global hotkeys will probably cease to work (along with Bob knows how many other programs), and browser hijackers will still be able to log your rs pass. Good job, lad, good job indeed.

So is this a problem? Or do you want recognition for this amazing less-than-20-lines program? What's the point of this post, exactly? :?

Well, it's rather simple. You can't do that with just javascript and HTML, unless you mean every person who plays it gets a separate highscore table with just their own results. Which isn't too useful, to be honest...

Your theme no longer works, or has been uninstalled. To try and fix it, you could do the following: 0. Close ALL Firefox windows, including theme, extension, or other windows from Firefox. Make sure that the firefox. exe program is no longer in the list of processes (Ctrl + Shift + Escape, Processes) 1. Locate your profile directory 2. Find the prefs.js file in that directory, and open it in notepad or a similar editor. 3. Find the line that starts with: user_pref("extensions.lastSelectedSkin" 4. Change the last thing between quotes to: "classic/1.0" The line should now look like this: user_pref("extensions.lastSelectedSkin", "classic/1.0"); 5. Open Firefox again. If everything went alright, you should now see the default firefox theme, and everything should work properly again. If this doesn't work, then there's little choice but to make a new profile. Start Firefox with the -profilemanager option, and click Create New Profile in the dialog that comes up.

No, it won't resolve DNS names (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136789). You can use a PAC file, however. That's a javascript file that specifies exactly when to use a proxy, and when not (it's the last option in the Connection settings dialog). I'm not very familiar with PAC files, you should be able to find some documentation on the net, I'll look for some links as well, but I'm not promising anything, I'm rather busy atm.

Yeah, put in the hostname itself? :)

In your case, you probably want to use the following in the no-proxy field: 147.109.224.0/8 147.109.225.0/8 (you can use a space or a comma to separate addresses)

Yup, and that won't work with the wildcard format you're using. Firefox uses a more flexible, though somewhat more cryptic format. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/No_proxy_for As for the crash, that's unfortunate. :( I don't send those reports to MS, but I do send them using the mozilla.org tool, because those reports do actually get read and acted upon by the devs (they're publically accessible as well, so if you know some C/C++, you can figure out what's causing the bug you're noticing should you fancy). Run the talkback[Caution: ExecutableFile] utility in the %Program-Files%/Mozilla Firefox/ directory to see what reports you have submitted. You can use the talkback ids on http://talkback-public.mozilla.org Edit: It's currently flooded, they're working on getting it to munch the queues of reports faster, but for now there's a bit over 15000 reports waiting to be put in... May have to wait a few days. Did you manage to install the web developer toolbar on a second attempt? It's a very nice extension, I think :)

As long as tis a good legacy... ;)

I wouldn't do that. Basically tuning a cheap car to look like a better one just makes it look stupid, not cool. If I was you, I'd rather save 10 years to buy it than tune a cheaper one look a bit like that. I think you need to finetune your sarcasm detector ;) Calling 2 Fast 2 Furious a great movie was a dead give-away :lol: If it hadn't been for the complete lack of capitalization and/or grammar, or the use of 'btw', 'omg', or, for heavens' sake, 'so cool'. Hi to Herr, by the way. Good to see you, especially in this way ;). As for the original poster: uhh, yeah, whatever :). Get your keyboard fixed. I don't agree with you, I prefer a DAF.
