Well, it is that time of year again and the holiday season is upon us. Which means I get to wish everyone the very best and say a very big thank you for being part of our community here at DaniWeb. ...

If you are expecting a nice shiny iPhone or BlackBerry as a gift this Xmas, your joy may be short lived if network crashes this week are anything to go by.

Earlier this week Twitter users in the...

File under FAIL: social network widget maker RockYou has fallen victim to a SQL injection flaw and as a result some 32.6 million users are being urged to change their passwords as a matter of...

At least it proves that Dani does still listen to what members of the community say...

I think it is a difficult balancing act, and one that a lot of people end up having to face: your business (substitute site, community, project whatever) hits a certain size and you have to make the...

I've been a freelance journalist for 20 years now, and can honestly say that the iPhone has changed the way I work more than anything since wireless Internet access came along all those years ago....

A new search engine officially launches today, the same day as the World Climate Summit in Copenhagen commences. According to Ecosia (http://www.ecosia.org) you can help battle climate change by...

I refer you to the DaniWeb acceptable use policy (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/faq.php?faq=aup):

You could apply that same logic to pretty mjuch every forum on the web: most forums have a certain level of spam becuase preventing every spamming idiot means that ordinary members would be hugely...

Just because some dullard abuses a system that does not mean that the the system itself is bad, nor does it mean that the dullard is some kind of hero - it just means that someone has abused the...

I am closing this thread as a fire fighting precaution

Rupert Murdoch is not a stupid man, his business empire is evidence of that. For anyone to become a media mogul requires smarts, but those smarts seem to be deserting Murdoch as he continues to play...

Clicking on 'clear' is exactly what I do, simplest solution and saves my brain exploding :)

The down votes simply mean people do not agree with either your opinion on the matter, or perhaps more likely the way you have expressed. They certainly do not mean you do not have a right to reply,...

I think, perhaps, now is the right time for this thread to wind down - or at least for participants to step back and take a deep breath before posting.

Let's not have it become a slanging match,...

DaniWeb does have a proper office you know :)

Address can be found by clicking the Contact Us (http://www.daniweb.com/contactus.php) link at the bottom of every page.

There is free music out there, which is legal. You just have to do the donkey work and find it.

We will not be pointing you at sources of illegal music downloads however.

Not only do I still read the printed word, but I still write books that are published in dead tree format as well.

As an author, I have to say that there is nothing quite like getting the...

This thread is now closed - DaniWeb will not be party to discussions about taking down websites.

Sorry, jbennet is correct.

I also suggest that you reference the work in your report and cite any code which was given to you.

You asked for help, got help and now that help is available for...

I put the kibosh on it by saying everything was running fine :(

I believe it is calculated using the up and down votes your messages get, probably involving the number of individual members and number of individual posts which have been voted upon along the way....

I think that it needs time to settle. The whole idea of such a voting system is that it employs the 'wisdom of crowds' and as such we can only see if it is actually working or not over time.

The...

Don't forget netbooks, increasingly popular with the tech savvy user :)

The posts in question were deleted after being flagged as bad by other DaniWeb members. Upon investigation it turned out that not only did they have no bearing upon the thread/topic/forum in which...

Melvin, we will all miss you - but then you know that :)

Thanks for all your hard work here over the years, it really has been appreciated. Not just by your fellow mods and us admins, but by the...

Did you just say 'cluck' a link, AD? Is that avatar of yours really a chicken then? ;)

While we would love people to post on DaniWeb, people are quite welcome to participate by reading and learning as well. This community is about sharing knowledge, we do not exclude lurkers....

> -What are the skulls most important for a position in this field?

The bigger the better, preferably without fractures.

You need to leave this active thread, go to the forum you want to post in by using the drop down navigation menu at the top of the page and when you arrive there the 'start new thread' button will be...

Forget the ho(e) debate, I am more interested in the suit thing. Quite funny really, considering I currently do not even own such a thing let alone wear one. I am more a jeans, t-shirt and tattoos...

Rashakil Fol was not banned for flagging a blog post by me, or indeed for anything to do with me.

He was banned because he posted an offensive comment attacking another DaniWeb member in a way...

Done, Kebab Man.

>Uhm, I think its quite obvious what my name is supposed to be, would you mind changing it

You are a Hemswort no more :)

Are they professional bots? ;)

When I saw the thread title I thought "at last, I can find out how old that tree in the garden is" - imagine my disappointment when I discovered we were not talking about radioisotope carbon-14...

Big fat nerd, 44, bald, no social skills - seeks young dolly bird for a good time.

Somehow, I am not expecting a deluge of PMs... ;-)

In fact, I have edited to be even less offensive now - and would restate what others have said: tone it down in future please.

My experience of people asking for account deletions, in general rather than this specific case, is that someone joins up - asks a question - does not an answer they like - then throws a hissy fit...

Nope, but I can tell you that you really should trust your wife a bit more, and be a lot less paranoid or the relationship is likely to take a nose-dive. Especially if your wife is using this site as...
