Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
I didnt see the show but it sounds like something similar that was done on The Springer Show in the UK a few years back. People for the show would go on the streets of London and New York and vox pop people on what are supposed to be easy questions like "How many moons does the earth have". While obviously its edited to only show the stupid people it was still scary to see the nhumber of people who didnt know basic things, especially the Americans who seemed to lose almost every week lol.

Star Trek 11
Same thing with Tremors: The Series :( Loads of episodes of Tremors were also cut because SciFi didnt like them which totally made the plot broken and viewers confused and its never been released to DVD :(

Copyright laws...
Good luck with that, "poor mans copyright" is bunk. US Copyright office says "There is no provision in the copyright law regarding any such type of protection, and it is not a substitute for registration" United Kingdom Office says "it may help copyright owners to deposit a copy of their work with a bank or solicitor or send a copy of their work to themselves by special delivery (which gives a clear date stamp on the envelope), leaving the envelope unopened on its return; this could establish that the work existed at this time" Note the "may" and "could". you'd have to convince a court against a person who can probably afford a better lawyer than you.

Star Trek 11
I don't really care for Sci Fi such as Star Trek. Its a bit too geeky for my liking and its all too perfect with talking aliens any stuff. I much prefer more naturalistic scifi such as Firefly or Battlestar Galactica.

How I get my flash into my sig??
The clue is in the error message... "file type not allowed" If you read the rules you'd also know the answer to your question.

Had a run-in with a fox or somethin
I like foxes, they look cool yet also slightly evil. I live in the west country so quite often ill see a fox skulking about at night or in the garden. I wouldnt wanna go face to face with one though.

So, they think they found Jesus' tomb...
It really annoys me that peoplehave to bring in bunk religious theories into such an amazing archeological find. Why not just accept that its an incredible find as it is without trying to convince people its Jesus?

Pulling text from an external html file (not runescape!)
Thanks to Rick here is the final code I used: <?php $urlofstats = "http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Special:Statistics?action=raw"; $rawstats = file_get_contents($urlofstats); $num_values = explode(";", $rawstats); $remove = array("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z","="); foreach($num_values as $x => $value) { $num_values[$x] = str_replace($remove, "", $value); } echo $num_values[1]; ?>

[web-help]How to get high scores
Thats because noone is going to tell you the exact code that they wrote for themselves. It would be like Microsoft giving the source code to Apple. You have to work it out for yourself

Pulling text from an external html file (not runescape!)
Ok so ive got a page on my webserver which dynamicly generates statistics in the following style: total=0;good=0;views=0;edits=0;users=0;admins=0;images=0;jobs=0 where 0 is a number between 0 and well.. infinite really but no more than a 7 digit number really. I want to be able to pull the total number from this file and display it on another php page using cURL or file_get_contents but im totally lost by it and cant find a tutorial thats any good for me. I want the number between total= and ;good=....etc anod nothing else so I need to strip all the other stuff. I worked out how to use file_get_contents to get a certain number of characters after a string such as total= but because I cant guarantee what the length of the number is the script varies between 13337 (total=13337;good=....) and 96;go (total=96;good=....) I need the script to start after total= but stop before ;good= Some help would be really appreciated :)

er...a question about the bank cards...
I've only got three cards. 1 x Maestro Debit Card. This is for my current account. It is the one I use the most for buying stuff in shops and online from UK based shops. I don't like using my debit car to purchase things from America because their data protection laws arnt as strong as the UK 1 x Visa Credit Card. Only really use for large purchases and for things abroad. Its good to have the security and protection you get by using it but its scary the minimum payments you have to make each month. You could put a few hundred quid on a card and never pay it off if you only paid the minimum, forever paying off interest. Its no wonder ppl are in such financial difficulties these days 1 x Solo Card. This is for my joint account thats used ot pay mortage. I dont use it for anything really except to buy stuff in Homebase, Focus or B&Q.

Copyright laws...
If you make something completely yourself then its automaticly copyrighted to you. registering just means you get better protection if someone steals it but you can do whatever you like with it so long as it's entirely your creation.

Unfortunately it doesn't come with the figurine. I love Tremors tho, the 3rd one is a bit crap with the whole [wagon] blasters thing but the series was redeemed by the prequel ^_^
