Hi! Welcome.

Hi and welcome :)

Hi Nicky! :)

Hi! Welcome :)

How important is keeping in contact with your members via email?

Is it necessary to add the plural form of keywords into an AdWords campaign? In other words, would I need to have keywords: widget, widgets, blue widget, blue widgets, red widget, red widgets, etc?

I believe that .htaccess files are unique to the Apache web server (although I may be mistaken). Apache is the httpd server of choice for Linux ... there is a Windows port as well, but most Windows servers use IIS. I'm not sure how to do redirection on IIS.

Slow down :) What type of website would you like to start? Since you're posting in the Growing a Community forum, I'm assuming a forum? If so, I would recommend starting with buying some Linux hosting space for a couple bucks a month. You could then start off with the …

I think it has to do with each and every individual community, as each one has its own ettiquette and ideas of what is and what isn't acceptable. For example, I would probably consider it spamming if you went through the DaniWeb memberlist and started contacting them to advertise your …

I'm confused between LEFT JOIN and INNER JOIN - the differences and when it's appropriate to use one over the other. I tried to wrap my mind around it but it seems to me that INNER JOIN statements can always be rewritten as LEFT JOINs?

From what I understand, there are no features gained or lost using connect() vs pconnect(). The difference is strictly related to how the server manages its memory resources. With connect(), every request from Apache to MySQL needs to open a new connection (and if you have your web and database …

From a usability standpoint, is it alright for a dynamic website to require the use of browser cookies in order to be fully operable (ie is it still necessary in 2006)? Or do messy session URLs still have a necessary place in Internet land?

Is SEO a big part of how you do business online? If so, stop! The number one piece of advice I could give anyone is to design and develop your websites for your target audience - for your users - instead of for the search engines. In fact, doing so …

I'm thinking (theoretically) you could accomplish this using only CSS (no JavaScript) by encasing the menu in a <div> and absolutely positioning relative to the top left coordinate of the browser window? Not entirely sure if it will scroll with you this way though ... I guess you would need …

I just found out about a shell script /etc/daily that mac users recommend running daily or weekly. It supposedly removes old system messages and junk. Does OS X invoke this script automatically every so often or must it be manually invoked? Is it very necessary?

Hello there HappyGeek! Welcome to DaniWeb :)

I know I'm late, but I just stumbled upon this thread and couldn't resist ... [tex]glove*2[/tex] ... there ya go, some LaTeX gloves

Please post what you have so far. Thanks!

Better late than never: [code]#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> #include <math.h> using namespace std; enum run {TERMINATE=0, LOOP, NoRoot, HighIterations}; double f(double x, double k, double n, double l) { return (((x*(1 + (k*n))/((1 + (k*x))))) - l); } double derivative(double x, double k, double n) { return 1 + ((k*n)/((1+x)*(1+x))); …

It's always a very nice thing to have tech celebrities on the site. Actually convincing them to take time out of their busy schedules is another matter entirely ... of course, I'll see what I can do ... whatever that is :)

I'm just frustrated with Disk Warrior. I bought the darn program, and when I tried to run it, it told me I couldn't because the disk I bought only supported Jaguar, and not Panther. So then I had to wait for a Panther version to be released, and then shipped …

There's a new feature for Google AdWords ... You can essentially pick various demographics you wish to target, and the system will create a list of Google Network sites that are popular with that audience. The demographic information comes from comScore Media Metrix.

Welcome to DaniWeb ... whether you're a lurker or a frequent poster, there is a lot for both novices and experts on this site, so enjoy :)

I'm really confused what you're asking. I don't see a **quote** anywhere in the snippet you provided. Also, what does this have to do with GeSHI? Are you passing all posts through it?

If you bought this machine off of someone else, I would recommend reformatting and starting completely fresh and clean.

For those of you who don't know, fink ([url]http://fink.sourceforge.net[/url]) is a debian-based package management program for OS X which ports a number of *nix programs to the mac. Using fink, I installed mc (Midnight Commander), my favorite terminal-based file management utility for linux. During the install, it told me it …

As most of you know, Apple's Mac OS X uses a custom version of Unix (more specifically, a BSD variant). This makes much of the operating system feel like home to many Unix and Linux people. (For example, you can compile code using gcc, and have full acess to a …

Hopefully there is a way to do this. But basically, I would like to use Panther's built-in firewall. It works perfectly, except I would like the other computers on my home network to be able to always go through the firewall, and have firewall rules only apply to machines outside …

I, too, use Apple's X11 with Fink.

News and Internet Discussion - This is where our Blogging feature comes into play. Currently our blogs serve as the perfect place for IT news ... members can name their own blog, categorize entries, members can comment on blog entries, it's all searchable by username or category, and there are …

I'm experimenting with a new advertisement spot to compensate for the two new servers we had to buy this month. It's a Google text link spot and it's displayed below the first post of a thread. Does anyone have a big concern with it being there or is it pretty …

Hi! Welcome to DaniWeb. Good luck both on the job search and finishing your degree.

Hey shadowphoenix. Welcome to DaniWeb! Only one powerpoint slide, eh? Looks like you have your hands full :)

<offtopic>When I was in school, I was hanging out in the Computer Science Student Lounge when a professor walked in to get a soda out of the vending machine. Then, he exclaimed he had this great idea to give the first year students a project with vending machines and we …

As some of you may already know, if you're not getting very relevant AdSense ads, you can use [inlinecode]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->[/inlinecode] and [inlinecode]<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->[/inlinecode] to direct the MediaPartners bot to focus on your content areas. Has anyone has a very noticable increase in AdSense revenue after implementing this? How …

Hi fellow PHP and MySQL person :)

Hi and welcome! :)

Sorry for the late response. I would try either the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum92.html"]Windows Software [/URL]or the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum7.html"]Hardware[/URL] forum, depending upon the particular issue you're having. Be sure to provide as much information and as many details about the issue that you know. :) This will help us get to the bottom of …

This is very strange. However, I can't get the [INLINECODE]overflow: auto;[/INLINECODE] and, more specifically, [INLINECODE]overflow-x: auto;[/INLINECODE] behaviors to work properly on any of the Mozilla browsers (Firefox, Camino) on an Intel mac and yet they work fine on a PPC mac and in Windows. Regardless of whether scrollbars are needed …

In the past we had a problem where visiting the Viruses and Spyware forum would throw back a whole bunch of browser errors because apparently there was something going around and when people posted infected HijackThis logs, Internet Explorer would pick up the malicious code from within the log and …

If you run a dedicated server, you should be able to configure the mail server to handle autoresponses. For example, that is what I do. :) Using the Plesk control panel, I have the ability to send different autoresponses to people depending upon who the email is from or the …

I didn't even know about a new FS at all. Shows how behind the times I am!

Congrats to you.

Happy birthday!!

I apologize for the downtime we've experienced over the past couple of days. We were in the process of moving servers, and it's finally compete :) Sorry for any inconvenience, Dani

What is a BCA? I think he means his favorite foods are pizza as well as Indian food. Not Indian pizza :)

I have an all-CSS drop down menu with a z-index set to 100. However, it still appears behind some form elements and flash advertisements. What can I do to fix this? Thanks
