Do I trademark the title, logo or slogan for a website?
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in Miscellaneous
I've already skimmed through that wiki entry. I'm trying to figure out where I apply to the TM symbol to i.e. logo, title of organization or slogan. -
When designing and using logos where and when should I apply the trademark symbol ? The name of organization? The logo? The slogan? A combination of these?

Problem with unwanted bootleg installation...
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in Miscellaneous
Understood. Thanks D. -
A friend has stupidly tried to install a bootleg version of Photoshop CS5 on my computer. After uninstalling it and a little further research online I read an edit made to one of my system files is supposed to ping Adobe with my IP address. The edited file: host The edited file's location: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc The edits: Addition of Adobe IPs Is this something I can fix or do I need to be worried?

Difference between somefolder.somesite.com and somesite.com/somefolder?
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in HTML Help
Thanks for the explanations. -
I'm installing a software on a hosted web account. My web host doesn't allow use of shell_exec() unless I upgrade to a private server. I need this for object caching. Does anyone know of a work-around? I read an article that suggested replacing the function with something like curl. Here's the installation report:

Picking a wiki (lighter alternative to Wikimedia)
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in Applications
I found a great Wiki choice wizard here: http://www.wikimatrix.org/wizard.php You basically enter your requirements to limit your options and compare. Very useful tool. TikiWiki has grabbed my attention for being an all-in-one software with an ACL. -
Picking a wiki (lighter alternative to Wikimedia)
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in Applications
Also, it would be great if anyone could explain to me what the downside to using Wikimedia for a low capacity site would be. -
Hi all, I'm trying to find a suitable wiki software. Wikimedia, as used by Wikipedia, seemed like the obvious choice until I found out it's designed for high capacity sites accruing about a million hits a day. Question: Can I not just use it for my modest requirements or should I look at a lighter alternative? The wiki is intended to be private up to a year and thereafter public. This is also a problem for Wikimedia though a series of hacks/edits exist to remedy this.

Recommendations for a light weight forum, wiki and chat box?
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in Miscellaneous
By 'lite' I mean minimalism in terms of features. To be frank, MyBB and all the other 'lite' alternatives look like a poor mans SMF. I'm trying to string together a wiki, a minimalistic forum and chat box all bound by the one ACL. Any other suggestions? (thanks Taz! ) -
Any suggestions on how to piss off spam emailers?

That's wrong on so many levels and yet I rofl'd. -
Any suggestions on how to piss off spam emailers?
webmaster1 replied to merylvingien's topic in Miscellaneous
I'd like to think that finding/creating a page with extremely explicit/disturbing content to redirect them each time might work but we already know that spammers are soulless bastards. -
Don't worry. If IE6 passed me on the street I'd punch it in the face too.

How do I explain security/insecurity/privacy to a client?

I see what you mean. I'll make that clear. *targets ignace's brain with laser -
How do I explain security/insecurity/privacy to a client?
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in Miscellaneous
Very cute indeed. Does anyone have a suggestion that won't result in the clients head imploding? -
How do I explain security/insecurity/privacy to a client?
webmaster1 posted a topic in Miscellaneous
I'm developing a quick site for a hobby conspiracy theory community. The site is not public and therefore privacy and security is an issue. Their original idea was to share a communal email account and save all their information as drafts. Try to think about this from a Big Brother/Orwellian perspective where the 'elite' are continually surveying the 'serfs'. I'm trying to explain that in theory, if 'the powers that be' wanted to screen any given email account then they probably could since even drafts are stored in a database. I'm trying to sway them over to creating a private website using an ACL (purely because this is something I know how to do). How do I explain to the client how secure/insecure the ACL approach is and is there any approach that will quell their paranoia? These guys like the notion of privacy more than they need it as all of their content can be found on the major publicly accessible conspiracy theory websites. -
How do I combine these two queries correctly?
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in MySQL Help
Sorry for the confusion. Aside from very basic select and insert statements, I haven't touched sql in good while so my explanation was probably as screwy as my querying. The LEFT JOIN done the trick. Cheers! -
How do I combine these two queries correctly?
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in MySQL Help
I've finally got the query to work. I tried sub-queries and sets/union but in the end the left join done the trick. Rather than using max and min on the two datetime fields, I simply used the order by. Any tips/criticism welcome. SELECT id, agent, record.life, contactname, contactemail, contactphone, recordid, /*max(inputdate) as maxinputdate*/ /*min(renewalclosedate) as minclosedate*/ FROM record LEFT JOIN notations ON record.id = notations.recordid WHERE (notations.result IS NULL OR notations.result= 'Non-connect') AND (record.agent = 'Bob Dole' AND record.life = 'active') AND (record.stage <> '08' AND record.stage <> '09') group by recordid order by closedate asc, inputdate desc LIMIT 0,1 What a nightmare for something so simple! Note to self: Write out what the query is doing in plain English before coding. -
How do I combine these two queries correctly?
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in MySQL Help
The WHERE condition of the second query doesn't filter the 100 rows to 14 rows. 100 rows represents total rows 14 rows represents result = 'Non-connect' The WHERE conditions work fine on the first query in the UNION by filtering 400 records to 100 records. The WHERE condition has no effect on the second query. -
How do I combine these two queries correctly?
webmaster1 replied to webmaster1's topic in MySQL Help
I've gone about the UNION approach as suggested by fenway: SELECT id as id FROM record WHERE agent = 'Bob Dole' AND life = 'active' AND (stage <> '08' AND stage <> '09') UNION SELECT recordid as id FROM notations /*WHERE result = 'Non-connect'*/ The query as it stands returns 100 rows. When I include the commented where statement I still end up with 100 rows. I should only have 14. Why doesn't the WHERE condition have an effect? It works by as single query. -
