http://www.ronaldsteelman.com the first post on there. I wrote it up real quick like for ya. Has sample code and a site with a list of ALL the bots that exist. Pick your favorite ones and go with it.

I'm currently enrolled in Programming I for this semester, and the required curriculum is Java language. Naturally, my professor says it is the best language to program in, but mainly because it is universal. From a few other sources I've heard that Java is not a very good language, but I've since second-guessed myself with the reason purchase of MySQL by Sun. So, I was basically wondering if anyone has had any experience with Java and what you thought? Should I put in the extra effort and really try to learn the language inside and out, or just do what is required to pass the course? Surely there are other languages out there that can perform the same projects as Java, but are they any better? Thanks in advance.

On the front page of youtube.com there is a small ad on the far right, scrolled down some. It is hard to see, you kinda gotta look for it, but if it is a google ad (i assume it is) and it is pay-per-impression, can you imagine how many people see that ad PER DAY?! Just clicking around I can see ads on Youtube...their not very stand-outish but they exist. You have to actually be looking for them to find them...that might explain some of their profit. I see a large ad here, though: http://youtube.com/community

wow! crayon! long time no see! Gladd to see you back. On a more related notes, do you happen to have the restore cd with drivers? drivers are optional, but I would just pop in the restore cd, format the comptuer, and go from there. It sounds to me like a system recovery has been made to reset his comptuer back to the exact date and time that a system recover was made, thus creating a loop. I've seen this happen with our GeekSquad counter at Best Buy. Pretty much we deemed the computer a lost hope, orderd restore cds from the manufacture, and just wiped the drive. C:\fdisk in essence

Java can be ran from command line, and I thought basic PHP scripts could be too. Also, I know that ms-dos has use of the echo command...there might be other similar commands, such as loops and if statements, that are native to windows that can be ran from the command prompt.

and there is a solved feature which is installed

if you play your cards right. like i said, free hosting with a 9 dollar domain pointing to it. or you can do this route: http://www.webhostfreaks.com/starter-hosting.php + $9 per year domain name With that plan you only pay 4 dollars a month. Figure that into the final bill, if you feel you must.

one thing is to get some free hosting and point a domain towards it. dyndns allows you to point a domain to a subdomain, domain masking i think. so all you pay is the $9 sum odd dollars for the domain name for a year and just point it towards a free host. then when the site is live, put a thing that says, Site for sale. Click here to learn more, and it takes them to a page with pricing and stuff like that. be sure to write up a contract and post on there in pdf format so they can see the contract before hand, and you will ensure payment this go round

Admins can do everything. Global Mods can edit posts, delete posts, warn users, etc..Normal mod stuff. Super Mods can do all that a global mod can PLUS ban users, delete users, prune forums, add words to the ban word filter, etc. Moderators, which I don't think we have any, are per board basis. Meaning I might be the moderator for the PHP Help board. That means that I can edit, delete, and do basic moderation in the PHP Help board ONLY. Hope that helps.

It doesn't necessarily have to be bad ideas, or laziness, red. I've seen people say, "Man i like this <insert software/site here> but i wish it had <insert feature(s) here>". For example, i wouldn't mind a good PHP based client management system. Manage my clients, send bills, have an upload place to upload files to sub directory that will show them what their live site will look like, etc. Only problem is i'm so busy that i don't have to make it myself, so if someone else did that would be great! It would solve a lot of my problems.

those submissions that have, for all intents, vanished from the database. Kind of like the tutorials that still exist, but the content is deleted.

UPDATE i was right. any normal user can add a tutorial, but a mod must approve.

no, i'm fairly sure that normal users can now add tutorials but mods have to approve them. I thought I made this feature avaliable not to long ago, since the User Submitted Tutorials was down.

Hmm...I'd suggest a change in hosting. ace-host.net, webhostfreaks.com, serverpowered.com All three are good, reliable hosts.

Yeah, well it says something when your on your EIGHTH version of something and the competitors only on the second or third version, and they are STILL better!

Your services are listed at the bottom of EVERY page. I don't much like that. It doesn't remain consitant with what that particular page is saying, so to speak.

I would personally go with a BluRay player. The quality of BluRay currently surpasses that of HD-DVD. At Best Buy we sell way more BluRay than HD-DVD. Plus, I've even had a customer return their HD-DVD for a BluRay because they seen BluRay at a friends and liked the quality more than their HD-DVD. Granted there will be others who swing the other way, but I can tell you that not only do our customers prefer it, but so do our employees...There are so many other reasons as well, but I would actually have to copy and paste all the posts about it from our cooperate forums in order to show you just how many people like BluRay over HD-DVD. On the other end of the argument, currently HD-DVD has more movies out than BluRay...such as transformers

Well, I don't know how hard that is to get. Best Buy gets about 3 shipments of them per week, and I could easily get my hands on one. Granted I work there, so I don't know how much harder it is for a normal customer. You don't need a car. You'll only kill yourself. Ummm....The Orange Box isn't that good, IMO. How old are you? Hmmm....... What is wrong with yours that you can't get new parts??? So, it seems like you don't want much for christmas. I hate people who want everything, or only want expensive shit. I asked for a new watch, new pair of sunglasses, and this shirt that I seen in a store display. Other than that, whatever my family chooses to get me is their own choice, and I don't want them to get me more.

Well, we always get stray kittens, and end up feeding them, and then turning them into house cats. We had four, but one got ran over. Now we have three: Mignon (Or Kitter) Pronounced Me-non Hurley (Like the clothes/skate brand) Gizmo (Gizzy) Yeah, we love our cats. Granted I'm in college, three hours from home, and never get to see them.

it sounds to me like you need to take that hard earned cash and see a doctor. Talk to one for an hour, see what he thinks, tell him why you sit in front of the computer, and see what he recommends. If you feel better when you come out of the office, or think it might help, schedule another visit. Also, follow his advice. Mainly, get out and do something. I LOVE PHP, but I also rock climb. So i balance it all out

Prepare the meal, because then you know if it is poisoned or not. Best Buy or Circuit City Well, since I'm a hardcore best buy fan...and I'm a best buy employee, I'll go best buy. besides, circuit city sucks, all you get is gay mail in rebates, and there is no customer centricity.

BTW, you could also use a negative number. Since you can't rent something for a negative amount of time :-/

seems like a great project for you to do. Get the source code, go find yourself a forum that can help with the langauge that PHP Engine is written in, and make a french version of PHP

well, i just wish this topic would get off topic, and fast, so i'll have a legit reason to lock it

if you know anything about programming and databases, then your database should never go down...and if it does you should have it back up in just a few minutes
