Oh wow.... Didn't realize that I forgot to even say what card haha. GeForce 8500 GT And yeah, it's the factory fan on the card. If it makes a difference: Driver: 191.07 OS: Windows 7 I noticed something odd. A few minutes ago, I entirely removed the card (as in uninstalled the drivers and software and everything, not as in physically removed), and when ever I turned my computer back on, the fan was still going full speed. Like, before it even hit the OS, when it was just the BIOS. So I'm guessing the problem lies in the actual card, not a driver or something (although I guess maybe the fan always bursts at startup... Wish I could remember). I think I'm also going to go post on the nVidia forum (I guess they have a forum lol).

Hi, um, got a question about my GPU fan. So, the other day, I don't remember what I was doing, but my GPU fan went crazy. It kinda weirded me out (at first I thought it was my hdd and I was like "Uh oh!"), but it stopped after a few seconds so I just dismissed it as my computer taking drugs. That was about 2 weeks ago, and these random fan bursts have been growing in frequency, and now today, the fan refuses to stop. I'm fairly sure the fan is stuck at 100% speed, but I have no idea why. The temp is 138 F on the card right now, which isn't all that low, but it's definitely not high enough for the fan to be at 100% speed. I haven't changed the drivers, and I haven't used any tweaking tools, so I'm just curious if anyone can think of a reason why my video card fan would have decided to go crazy. Earlier today I cleaned some dust off the fan which actually helped a little with the noise (now instead of sounding like something is dying it just sounds like a really fast fan lol), but it's still stuck on full speed. I've tried changing out drivers and some random stuff, and I managed to slow it down with nTune, but I can't figure out what originally caused it to go crazy. Any advice would be awesome!

Notepad++ or Netbeans depending on what I'm doing.

Building a PHP Search with MySQL - script advice needed
corbin replied to CountryGirl's topic in Application Design
By the way, depending on what you're doing, that search solution might be horribly slow. Using %keyword% doesn't use indexes (since any wildcard string starting with % cannot use an index). That means that for each row, the entire description will have to be scanned and compared. (It might not be all rows if other constrains are used, but it can still be bad.) If you're going to have a lot of rows or a lot of content per row, you might want to consider something else like full text searching (it has limitations too though, such as being limited to the MyISAM engine). -
[SOLVED] very frustrating permissions problem in PHP
corbin replied to michaellunsford's topic in Apache HTTP Server
Is Apache allowing PHP to follow symlinks? Try setting FollowSymLinks to be allowed in the directory. If you have access to httpd.conf you can do (make sure to put it after any other rules that might conflict with it): <Directory "/path/to/dir/"> Options +FollowSymLinks </Directory> Or if you don't you can try with htaccess: Put a file in the same directory named .htaccess: Options +FollowSymLinks But, AllowOverride is not set to allow that, it won't work. -
Oh wow... I wonder why everyone decided to troll that lol. Guess because the concept of a steering wheel desk is stupid.
-
Sounds like it could be a schema problem. Is everything indexed properly? Also, do you have any MyISAM tables that have lots of modifying transactions in quick succession?

Should I use PHP for a website with many users?
corbin replied to csteff24's topic in PHP Coding Help
That's like asking if C is a good language to write a desktop application in. Yes, it is. But so are 10 other languages. If PHP is what you want to go with, go with it. Personally I prefer it over ASP, ASP.NET, Perl, Python, etc, but a lot of people prefer something else. As far as the actual creation goes, it should be fairly simple to do (as mikesta707's advice showed). -
What line did it occur on, and what is that line? A fairly common way for an attack to try to gain a full system path through an error message is to use a GET/POST/Cookie key of name[] to try to cause your script to error. For example: <?php $name = (isset($_GET['name'])) ? $_GET['name'] : ''; $name = trim($name); ?> Would give an error if someone went to script.php?name[]=blah Since that would set $name to an array and then pass it to trim(), which does not accept an array.

[SOLVED] Fetch auto-incremented index ID while the row is being created
corbin replied to Errant_Shadow's topic in MySQL Help
You could probably get by with mysql_insert_id. Depending on what you're doing, you might should read the "Caution" in the Notes section. -
[SOLVED] very frustrating permissions problem in PHP
corbin replied to michaellunsford's topic in Apache HTTP Server
Can you show us an entire message? (Feel free to edit out the paths.) Is there an open_basedir restriction in effect that might be blocking it? -
So you're confused about how to store it, right? Not the math? (The math is just half everything.) I would probably just put it in a table like so: CREATE TABLE breeds ( breed_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, breed_name VARCHAR(255) ); CREATE TABLE horse_breeds ( horse_id INT NOT NULL, breed_id INT NOT NULL, part TINYINT NOT NULL ); And part would range from 1-100 and represent a percent.

AJAX isn't inherently slow. I think it would be more accurate to describe it as difficult to properly scale.

The easiest way I know (because I have no idea where it is in the settings menu) is to open langs.xml in your Notepad++ installation folder and edit the following: <Language name="php" ext="php php3 phtml" commentLine="//" commentStart="/*" commentEnd="*/">

European Commision objects Oracle's take over for sun
corbin replied to nrg_alpha's topic in Miscellaneous
Oh, I thought the deal had already gone through haha. I do have to wonder what Oracle would do with MySQL.... -
Eh, with a company that big, he could've left for any number of reasons. Or maybe he's just moving on to other things.

The "Tabs" Tab FTW Of course a lot of that depends on how the developer set up the links too. Most sites don't have all their links set to _blank but instead are set to _self. Where I pulled these statistics? I have no clue.. But now you're assuming that I use Firefox ;p.

You could set up a samba share or do it using a protocol like FTP.
-
Hrmmm, things do not always open in a new tab for me if I do not either right click and hit open in new tab or click with the scroll wheel.
-
You can do it with a onkeypress event on the text field, and then if the field is empty, set disabled = "yes" on the button, and otherwise = "no". (You'll need to get a DOM object reference to the button, then it should be the disabled variable.)
-
Yeah, sounds like you're a bit more paranoid than you need to be Pug lol. Anyway, I use tabs. Being able to click links with the scrolls wheel and have them open in a new tab is wonderful.

[SOLVED] How do I select only the lowest price for each unique ID?
corbin replied to daydreamer's topic in MySQL Help
You could use a group by clause along with an order. SELECT ID, MIN(minPrice) FROM tblPrices GROUP BY ID
