I think you totally missed the point. The whole point of the experiment was to target people who formed negative opinions about the OS before even seeing it in action. That's exactly what they did.

:eek: This is the strangest thing. The program ignores all of my for loops in this method. I double checked the syntax and everything. Am I missing something? BTW, I know that it skips those, because I tell it to play a sound when it enters, and it doesn't play …

Does it loop? Does that mean that when it gets past Generation Z it becomes Generation A? :P I have an opinion about the "Baby Boomers", but you said don't be bashful...

No, the column is to simple. Change it to store a timestamp of the last activity on the site. Everytime the user visits a page, the time stamp gets updated to the current time. When checking for what users are online, check for timestamps within the last 5, 10,15 (whatever …

This seems like more of an html question than php. Have you tried using the non-breaking space (   )? Two of these characters should give a reasonable indent (or four if you need something wider). However, I have no idea which context you are trying to indent in, so …

As of PHP 5 I dont think there is anyway to do this. PHP 6 is supposed to have better support for UTF-8. What you can try doing, is everywhere you output to the page, encode it to UTF-8 using uft8encode(). And in the actual HTML markup, use html escape …

Imo stepping into an advanced API such as Direct X for something so simple is overkill. What you need is to learn how to use sockets well.

Assuming the month is a string and the others are integers: [code=php] if(($date = strtotime("$day $month $year")) === true){ $db->insertintodateintcol($date); //$date is an integer timestamp } [/code] To get the date and reformat it: [code=php] $date = db->getfromdateintcol(); $formatted_str = date("jS F Y", $date); echo $formatted_str; [/code] The code above …

Im actually a fan of a nice fight from time to time. Anthropologically speaking, fights are a way to assert dominance. But the thing to remember here is that this is at work, and less importantly, he's your boss. Picking fights in a professional environment (unless you're a boxer or …

Call me grandpa but I don't like it. That convoluted pointer device scares me beyond words. And while they did try to show how it might be useful in the real world, I really can't think of any scenario where I might be inspired to actually use such a system. …

Have you tried defragmenting? I read somewhere that vista's defragmentation engine arranges the files on the physical disk in a way that makes loading quicker (since the files it needs are placed each one after the next, so seeking is minimized). I'm not sure exactly what parts of the loading …

Yes it's a tactic employed to trick. Next time look for screen size "viewable".

Take a look at this page: [url]http://tejerodgers.com/[/url] and type four or more characters in the search box on the right. My problem is the div box that pops up. I'm only getting the behavior I want with Firefox. in Opera and in IE the page widens to fit it. What …

Anybody who uses prescription drugs for illnesses they dont have are stupid, and do not deserve to pass any kind of tests. Plus it's unfair to those of us who have any kind of standards and don't pollute our systems with that nonsense, because in the end our hard earned …

I actually never thought about this. 24 of my favorite songs would loop aloud from thin air(one for every hour) as I went about my normal routine, only I would spread cheer to everyone I meet.

"The windows vista home premium key you typed is invalid for activation" I'm getting this message about 4 - 5 days after re-installing Windows with a valid key at the side of my computer. Wtf is going on? What can I do?

yes it's possible. I did it. Install them on separate hard drives and boot from the one you want. Something odd and expectedm yet helpful that I encountered: I installed Vista second on its own hard drive, and it wrote the Master Boot Record to my XP hard drive instead, …

You mean the key is a home basic key? But how would you check for that in store? The reason I ask is because I thought the Vista disk lets you install any version so long as you have the right key.

Double precision is more precise than float, and performance really shouldn't be an issue on today's computers. Just thought I'd mention that. As to your question; usually when i get a problem like this, I would write a python script to go through my file and make changes. It normally …

Rule of thumb for submitting new threads. Re-read your new post before submitting, but pretend that you are reading it for the first time. Does it make sense to you? Pretend that you know nothing about you motives or your problem. Now does it make sense to you? Pretend that …

Yeah it's a known problem. What is the name of the video card model that you have? Also try using a different codec other than the default Microsoft MPEG-2 codec (this can be a little difficult; it needs a program called vmcd.exe (NOT SUPPORTED BY MICROSOFT) and an actual separate …
