That is if you play latest games, if not, than windows XP with 512 MB RAM is all you need. Your surf speed won't increase because of RAM and anything past 512 MB is not noticeable in XP, unless you play games that need a lot of resources.
1gb of RAM for XP has always been the recommended amount because of RAM hungry apps and background processes. Yes it's usable with 512, but it leaves you with very little wiggle room if you use something like PhotoShop or use multiple applications at once quite regularly.

Ubutnuru (sp?) from what I hear is the easiest to learn. I'm not really big on linux knowledge however.
Ubuntu. :P
Ubuntu would be the default choice most people will through up because it comes ready to use right after the install. I think Fedora is another usable desktop distro right out of the box but I haven't used it personally (maybe that's something I can try tomorrow :anxious: ). Both use Gnome (the desktop system) by default so they'll look fairly similar at first.
-
Scanning with Adaware and Spybot, would be a good first step.

They always lose connection to the internet, they're confusing, and they freeze too much.
I'm sorry that:
1) My 1ghz XP machine has been on for 6 weeks straight
2) It's held a connection to various IRC servers for 5 of those 6 weeks (the drop was due to the server I don't control)
3) That you're that damn short sighted

1gb of RAM with vista will get you by, but 2gb is usually recommended to be able to take full advantage of all it's "features".
As for the router, I swear by the Linksys WRT54 series. I've had a WRT54GS (v3, v4 and up have different firmware and suck) for years now and have had absolutely no problems with it running 2 wired machines, a wired xbox and 4 wireless machines. They swapped over the G and GS to a crap firmware so I'd recommend buying the GL (which uses the better firmware) if you go this route.
(I'm obviously biased since I
my router)Edit: Clarified a bit

I suggest you get a clue and figure out what's wrong with your computer then. The cache folders have nothing to do with the login applet. I just wiped both cache folders and the browser cache just to check. Guess what? It loaded fine.
-
If you delete it then the rs client loader will just install it again next time you play runescape. I don't know why people are saying you won't be able to play rs :S maybe they should actually try deleting it before they talk about it.
Exactly. All it does is force a complete reload of the game files.
-
Stop spreading BS. Deleting the cache files DOES NOT prevent you from playing. Deleting them just forces a complete reload of all the RS game files instead of the typical updates. The cache refered to in that thread also has nothing to do with the services login applet used for the forums and other website areas.

Cpanel is a web manager, what use would it have on a regular windows setup?
Cpanel is actually more than just a web manager. You can use it to manage things like Apache versions, MySQL, and who knows what other software on the server. It also has options for managing user accounts and other aspects of the entire machine. It's only linux based though.
Plesk has a windows version, though I don't know how well it works or how to use it. I've seen it offered by multiple hosts as a cheaper Cpanel alternative.

Yea, thanks. And wouldn't the online/offline toggle be more efficient then last online? :-s
Doing both where would they even go? The online/offline is in it's own place, but the last online, would go in the profile as well? Clogging up space?
Online/Offline is only useful if you find the user online when you want to talk to them. If you don't hit that sweet spot, you're left clueless just like any other time.
The Online/Offline tag appears both on the profile page and in the avatar area of each post the user has made. Adding 'last online' to the profile isn't really a big deal either. PhpBB3 has about the same amount of info in the profile as PhpBB2. It's a bit more spread out on the skin we're using at Rscript but nothing you couldn't fix with a bit of skin customizing.
-
Also, we don't even know of the staff is going to change to phpBB3 or not. It's all up to them first.
It isn't a matter of if, but when. The admins have already said we will be upgrading to phpbb3. There is going to be a bit of time between release and implementation regardless because staff need time to get use to the new setup before it goes live, any necessary modifications need to be made and other tweaks behind the scenes.
I'm sure I read that it was scheduled for the 13th of this month. Whether it did occur or not I dont know. Perhaps it appears nothing has changed when actually we are already using it or maybe it takes a long time to upgrade.PhpBB3 was released Decemeber 13th, if that's what you were referring to. You can bet good money Albosky isn't crazy enough to roll out a brand new forum system the day of release without testing it and modding it to his liking too. :P
Tip.It is still using PhpBB2, there isn't any crazy hiding of the upgrade going on.

:Lol. He bumped this after 18 DAYS. Look at the dates.I don't blame him. He probably deals with impatient people a lot.
Bah. My apologies. I saw 2 and 0 in both dates and apparently mixed it up. #-o
Is this happening without any images open? With certain images or any random image? I've got multiple copies of Elements scattered around the house and my dad constantly uses CS2 and we've never run into an error like that. :?
-
Still error-ing
Impatient aren't you. Waiting more than 2 hours for a reply on a forum is generally a good idea. We don't hover like vultures 24/7 waiting for questions to answer...
Googling around, several things come up. Have you tried just flat out uninstalling and reinstalling? Have you tried the registry fix that is suggested in some of the google results (removing the Save to Web registry key)?
-
I'm expecting to get comments like "you've got no idea what your talking about, you're going to get in over your head and regret it" or something along those lines.
Pfft, you obviously haven't read around the T&C forum much. There are several people here that are very helpful when it comes to people wanting to build their own machine.
Let me be the first to say, Newegg.com is now your new best friend. :P
Vista would be a good choice just because of DX 10 (as much as I hate saying that). Any high end Core 2 Duo (or quad if you're feeling adventurous) will be plenty of processing power and 2gb or more of RAM is recommended if you go with Vista. The video card nuts will probably be along shortly to give you something for that department (not my area :P ). After that it just depends on which parts you decide on and how much you're willing to spend on disc space and prices on each part.

This is more what I was shooting for. The code I use is a bit different because I use mod_rewrite, but it's the general idea.
// If no page, use the default if (!$_GET['page']) { include('pages/default.html'); } // Include page if we know its a web page we want to include elseif (is_file("pages/".$_GET['page'].".html")) { include("pages/".$_GET['page'].".html"); } // Choke and tell them it doesn't exist else { echo 'Page not found'; }This limits the ?page= setup to just files found in your /pages/ directory, which stops any browsing of other files you may not want being spit out by include() or require(). If it isn't in that folder, it doesn't get used.
-
Could also probably do it the other way around :
if ($_GET['page']) { include($_GET['page']); } else { include('main.php'); }The above is my preferred method. You must include some kind of is_file() check to a specific directory with the pages in it or limit the include to a certain set of files if you do use any of the posted snippets though. If you don't, you're just asking for someone to come along and use the get method to find ways into your sensitive or OS related files.

(I know this because we've already moved the Rscript forums over.)
Just curious, what do you think of PhpBB3 overall? :-s
1) It's only been installed a couple days now (I wanna say 3). 3 days isn't enough time to play with everything, even if i didn't have #2 to worry about.
2) I havn't had time to look at any of it due to finals.
3) I won't know till I get around to working on customizing our skin in between other things I've been putting off because of school.
-
If it didn't work, you didn't do something right. I use the exact same piece of code on my site (down the favicon file name and location) and it works perfectly.
-
Will/is there something like this in PHPBB3?I think so.
No there isn't. A standard phpbb3 install still only has the usual avatar and signature sections.
(I know this because we've already moved the Rscript forums over.)
-
Or, you know, you could use the 2 worlds that are labeled for BA on the RS worlds list. That was kinda they whole reason Jagex implemented that...
:wall:
-
Yes they will be moving to it. How soon now that it's been released isn't known by anyone outside the admins. Regardless of time, implementing something in phpbb2 only to have it overwritten by phpbb3 is a waste of time that could be better spent modifying other parts of phpbb3 to suit what is needed by Tip.It.
-
I have just informed Jagex of the issue, and I am sure they will investigate.
Thanks for bringing it up.... sounds nasty.
Yeah, good luck with that, I've been telling them about this for 3+ years now. I seriously doubt they care. I've sent bug reports, I've talked to the Pmod curators. Nothing changes.
I'm guessing that it's probably just a lazy shot on their part. People aren't supposed to see the specific link available. Now then, thanks to the miracles of Firefox, I can see the source code for the website, and the very first bulk of code I noticed included a Javascript line...if(self.location.href.indexOf("/de/")!=-1 || self.location.href=="http://www.runescape.de") top.location.href="http://www.runescape.com/lang/de/"; else top.location.href="http://www.runescape.com";Now I may not be a coder, but I do know that when I turn off Javascript, then I can see the links just fine. So my guess is that this little bulk of code right here is the one that resets the link to Runescape.com (or .../lang/de/ for the German version) regardless of where you go (note that I pulled this code from the High Scores table). It probably goes along the lines of the following, where my rough translation of it is in the brackets.
if(self.location.href.indexOf("/de/")!=-1 || [if own link does does not equal (-1)...] self.location.href=="http://www.runescape.de") [this] top.location.href="http://www.runescape.com/lang/de/"; [or this] else top.location.href="http://www.runescape.com"; [make it this]The javascript code is used to redirect the browser when you try to access pages within the website directly. It stops people going straight to the worlds list and other sections of the site. The entire concept is flawed because you can just shut off javascript to get around it. On top of that, the entire website is wrapped in frames to protect the idiots that don't know any better, so no matter what they browse to, they always see 'runescape.com' in the address bar, even though the actual URL is changing. Once again, it's flawed security because some people middle click links, opening them in new tabs, which drops the frames. They're playing the security through obscurity game and it just plain doesn't work.
They've mostly like pushed the login bug aside for exactly those reasons. They assume most people don't find the real urls, so they don't need to worry about double checking who is accessing the secure session. That alone tells me the Jagex web team is incompetent. It violates one of the basic rules of website security, YOU ALWAYS VALIDATE EVERYTHING. You clean user input, you check that the person sending it is who you think it is, you check it again before sending it to the database. Jagex doesn't do any of that.
-
As many times as I've said it before, I need to say it again. This feature is already present in phpBB3, which means it would be a wasted effort to implement at this point. True more than ever now that phpBB3 has been officially released to the public.
-
I'd say just take it to Best Buy or someone who knows what could be wrong and check if it is a power problem.
Don't take it to BestBuy. Ever. If you're ever going to take your machine to a shop, take it to a dedicated repair shop that have staff that actually have a clue. It has the nickname 'WorstBuy' for a reason.
New Ipod Registration Help
in Tech and Computers
Posted
You shouldn't need a credit card number to register your Ipod. All registration is suppose to do is put it into the system that you now own that product with that serial number and they have a record of it if you ever send it in for warranty work. That's all I ever needed for my 3rd generation Ipod anyway. :?
