I want to just ask and see if anyone has any interesting / unique thoughts on this "event" I am having.

In one of my yahoo webmail accounts I (fairly frequently) am receiving an email that has
...

thanx

;->

yeah, this IS an old post. Just noticed it...

I don't suppose you are familiar with the old Quick-Basic? are you? (and if you happen to be able to make/compile an executable dos program to call from a batch file?) you can read/change the string...

I just located a site called "getforum.org" but, as I said, have no experience with such things. I am looking this site over.

For instance.

ONE site I just checked was BUDDY JIVE
http://buddyjive.com/

I corresponded with one fellow there, it sounds like THEY would host EVERYTHING free, and if you got a domain name...

I am looking to setup a small tech/business site for myself. I'd LIKE to have a forum a lot like this one. I guess this is called a "bulletin board system"? I was wondering what options I had. ...

I just read this now. *sigh* Yeah. It's like everything everywhere is utterly going to be monitored and controlled.

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script:...

I am just wondering if someone can tell me what this message means, even roughly. The following is the error message box that pops up when I try to access/open a yahoo email account. The error (in...

Crunchie, I am trying to follow along on this. Often I can locate within my pc's either the offensive infiltrating programs or registry settings that don't seem "right". In THIS case I can try to...

"better" is very relative. Depends on what you mean by "better"

depends on what you have to work with also.

"Ad hoc" is usually better for homes and small office.
on a cost vs performance...

GOOD FOR YOU man, all I can say is, good luck, and happy hacking.... actually, I feel like I'm pretty much in the same shoes as you... minus the job. I actually WANT to be an admin of some type. ...

could the USER have changed settings or installed software that caused trouble??? for any reasons?

You know when you bring your car into a mechanic for a "problem or noise" and you ask the mechanic what it COULD BE, and he says "it could be anything?" well, I honestly have, in the past done funky...

Appreciate it.... thanx!

I also use DownLoad Accelerator software to help speed up software downloads. What it is--- is a multithreaded manager with "resume" capabilities (IF your download gets interrupted you don't have to...

also, do not forget. ... this is really important too...

You could try everything under the SUN to speed up your own connection. But--- if the site you are downloading from is slow/overloaded...

People often report that using WEP does slow the connection.

So, maybe if you disable the wep during a large download, (or any major file transfer) it'll improve things. (that DOES defeat the...

Oh ! okay, that should work too! That'd be a good thing. Much easier (hopefully).

...and, you Never Know, THIS user, whom you describe as "average user", might be ready to learn something like THAT. After all, you are taking him down a path of software (and learning) all I...

it's only a suggestion. and it is ONE possibility --- among others.

You can reboot, rescan (wait an hour or 3) reboot rescan AGAIN wait another hour or 3...

or,

work from a CLEAN hard drive and do it ONCE. scanning the infected drive with the clean updated...

take note above. the user says he's already "spent a whole day" trying to clean it.... I am assuming he's already somewhat familiar with what is going on..... all I did was suggest.... a...

I myself HAVE come across "infections" that were SO BAD, that ... from WITHIN the operating system it's virtually impossible to clean... 'twas the only reason I suggested it...

I suggested what I did above... because, if the owner DOES have a second drive, and can EASILY setup a second (clean) o/s it MAY be easier for him/her to clean it THAT way. It all depends on what...

Are you able to change the hard drive? Are you able to load a new XP system onto this PC and use it to scan the infected hard drive? After that, might you be able to copy over any important info...

How're you making out with your notebook?

What do you think? Did you obtain any other recommendations?

all right!!!!
finally.

I think I'm getting past all the "simple stuff"!

I just assigned strings to a variable,
measured variable (string) length
AND counted in a loop as well...!

cool

What a noob... LoL
I think I'm "getting it"
just simple syntax errors.
everything is probably fine.

for i in range(10):
print (i),

That's the ticket. (paren around the 'i')

THERE we go....

parenthesis. I was missing parenthesis.
that's all.

I'm on the python.org site. looking at their tutorials. I've got to just be mis-typing something.

WELL!!!

what do you know? I finally got it to print "Hello world"
now
the simple loop.

I should also mention.
in the tutorials it LOOKS like they are saying that I --SHOULD-- be able to simply type in a command at the prompt, like:

>>> print "hello world"

and get it to just...

I click on "ok" in the "syntax error" popup, to get rid of it and acknowledge it. And go BACK to staring at the tutorials and the screen trying to understand what I am missing.

I THOUGHT I...

Okay, basic progress.
I went into "New Window" since that gives you the editor in 3.1
then, I SAVED it (the small counting loop) as "test1.py"
THEN when to the drop down menu for "Run/ Run Module...

re: "if >>> shows you are not in the editor"
