  1. It's 7am, I'd rather get some sleep than debate some mundane ideal to people who couldn't change anything if they wanted. Everyone is right in multiple ways, so you can assume it will not get anywhere. Keep the badge system, Make the owner happy, Then it's all okay, Alright?

  2. We're here to chat, in one form or another, not to be entirely focussed on getting things done.

     

    Moderation should be completely transparent to the enduser, unless of course some tyranic complex is in order, Sir! Badges? Useless flash so people may see this, Place, Is under order. Although the opposite is observed once someone observes it first hand. The use of someone trying to find a "promoted" member is deprecated by passive contribution and moderation features. Badges are rendered and render it all pointless.

     

    Lets look at all the posts you've done over the.. Year? You sure as hell weren't presenting yourself so "flashy" and redundant full of useless filler than before, Maybe you should conform to it.

  3. @Salathe, It's common sense, While you're going off topic yourself to not speak to him directly in a PM , I don't know. This place obviously has too many nonsensical values and obstructions to make it, "Ideally productive". I agree lectural thoughts on abolishing the badge system for what it impedes on a so called pseudosociety. This and most threads that are but a very valid example of the end results.

  4. Posting things when others who are comprehensible in such won't, Try solving atleast 5 people's threads a day, then you can say that over me. Although agitating me when you're stating something so broad and biased doesn't get anywere, so have you learned.

  5. Thanks alot guys  :D , so what does the backslash do ? src=\  please dont flame me lol

     

    Oh, I came from a VB.NET background from 4-5 years back but must've forgotten how the more simple things were done.

     

    A backslash is an escape entity, Well, best I show you a tutorial on them:

    http://www.htmlite.com/php008.php

     

    If you're using double quotes within double quotes, they need to be escaped from the current context, Such as:

    print "This is a double quote: \"  <---";

     

    Dollar signs have precedence in double quotes, so variable can be displayed:

    $var = "foo";
    print "\$var = $var"; //Will print: $var = foo

     

    I'd really recommend looking up some basic PHP tutorials such as in Tizag, As you can trust from an ex-.NET programmer C is much different in its syntax than VB.

  6. Do what the other people do.

     

    Learn SGML markup and make a full traversal parsing engine along with atleast one RDF compliant semantic syntax, Easy? No: Make it fast. I'd start there. Although it's been a problem of people for atleast longer than you were born.

  7. Try the following; PHP isn't responsible to catch SQL problems at front:

    <?php
       $order_num = 'xxii8ir3iaqr7155';
       
       $result = mysql_query("SELECT AES_DECRYPT(ccnum) FROM orders WHERE orderNum = 'xxii8ir3iaqr7155' LIMIT 1") or exit(mysql_error());
       while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
          $ccnum = $row['ccnum'];
       }
       
    ?>

  8. As i'm sure what is a necessity of programming language, is maintaining the integrety of strings. PHP is based off of C, So it's not too alien, Just escape:

    <?php 
      echo $mail_sent ? "An email has been sent to you.<img src=\"images/green_tick.gif\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" />" : "Mail has failed. <img src=\"images/failed.gif\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" />";
    ?>

    Or of course you can use single quotes, either to wrap or to use within double quotes:

    <?php 
      echo $mail_sent ? 'An email has been sent to you.<img src="images/green_tick.gif" width="20" height="20" />' : 'Mail has failed.<img src="images/failed.gif" width="20" height="20" />';
    ?>

     

     

  9. i have made up my mind for awardspace, what do you guys suggest? any bad experience with them? the only thing i want that the site dont disappear when im sleeping at night :-)

     

    I've actually tried awardspace many many years ago when I was looking for a quick host for a project, It seems to be at the very top in "Quality free host" lists and things that I've seen, Atleast of the time.

     

    Only thing I disliked about it is its bandwidth, but free you can't complain with. Just expect things to be a bit more difficult setting it up, and the settings you should definitely brush up on them (unless the host actually disables the phpinfo command, which some ironically do).

     

    EDIT:

    http://www.awardspace.com/web-hosting/free-shared-hosting

     

    That doesn't look too bad, but if you look, 5GBs/mo transfer and 10MB for SQL. So all in  all you'll be teaching yourself efficiency on your scripts, as you're forced to. :P

  10. GoDaddy uses automatic disk caching on albums for ASP.NET (Most likely from a predefined application, or just filler when the account was created) instead of caching them into memory, Why? I'm not sure, But they're obviously a good enough host to shut out any memory being used up by the average user.

     

    I'm sure if you were intelligent enough to know hosts sometimes place predefined things, such as for wordpress admin templates that are so often available with cPanel (etc), You would know or assume why if there is no documentation on it, But apparently you need things told to you because all you expected was an empty server for you?

  11. @Mammoth

     

    No-IP supports free subdomains (Last I used them) and is transparent regardlessly on your domain, As per DDOS you can easily use an IDS, I'm sure that's not so hard.

     

    May as well end this debate on this post though, As regardless prices can be matched either way, a cheaphost may have bad support from time to time, but it's much better support than a computer newbie would get doing it him/herserlf. My current power supplier charges $0.0627/kWh, I'm sure it's a lot lower for my uses if I were to do something like that.

  12. A beautiful site, Such an example is "Windows Movie Maker" coming up with some classic programs for *nix. Impressed me enough to bookmark it and show others who would be confused what there is for linux in place of Windows programs, keep up the work!

  13. You are completely wrong on most ISPs letting you run a server unless you pay their extra fees.  Cox and Verizon both prohibit use of using their internet as a server unless you pay an extra 40$ or so a month, unless of course, you don't consider Cox and Verizon as big ISPs.

     

    I don't live in the states, so I wouldn't be able to quote myself for that, but Comcast, RR, AT&T seem to allow them (Friends had done it a lot). Regardless for free you can run it on any other available port provided you set up the DNSR records for them, unless those are throttled too (Man I'm happy I don't live there :P).
