MSN is down atm. They do this. Sometimes firewalls, cookies, windows security settings and network settings (if you are on a network) can affect these things. Usual is just updating windows (if any updates are released), reinstalling MSN and checking your settings. Also, being patient and leaving msn for a …

I've skimmed the manual and cant find the answer to this anywhere: In basic, to add an Input function you would do (for example): [CODE] Input "What is your name? " name$ [/CODE] How do I do this in Python?

This sounds like a simple string. I know nothing about C, but I know you'll need a string or function for this. Look through any docs or manuals you can find. It would be something like count$() but dont rely on me, im a newbie too :D

Ok, time to get off my ass and learn C and C++. However, I'm having a bit of trouble finding a free compiler; I'm a newbie so it needs to have a friendly and explanatory GUI if possible. Just post name and/or link, thanks :D

This could be a number of problems, but I dont think it is a heating problem. Your PSU is quite a low voltage, but if you could post your computer stats that would be very helpful. Also I had a similar problem with my gfx card. Whenever I played an …

Ok, I know absolutely NOTHING about php. However, at a guess, you have set the default access to pages too high maybe? You might have to edit the files manually so anyone can visit the page. Remember, I dont know much about php, but it sounds logical ^^

The first problem that comes to my head is maybe your hard drive is not connected properly, or your IDE/SATA cable is not connected properly to your motherboard. Just check they're not half connected, and remember to be gentle ;D

Software is stupidly expensive, and I'll admit I have copied/given cd keys to friends. Microsoft is a major problem with it, because they charge outrageous prices. However a lot of it does go to charity....

Depends what you use your pc for: If its just general home use, 256 megabytes will do fine, while gaming or large office/work will need 512 and up. However, RAM is a pain in the behind as you need to get the right RAM that will go with your Motherboard. …

When you say "spam", you really have to be more specific; Many malicious users will simply spam threads with useless/inaproppriate (spelling!) materials. This can be stopped slightly by enabling "Spam control" of about 30-60 seconds. One thing you MUST disable is HTML in signatures. Users can create spam codes such …

Personally, I hate Runescape; it's slow, it's laggy and the community isn't friendly (as far as I have explored). I don't enjoy it, and I just find I am surrounded by immature players. I love mmorpgs, but I hate Runescape. However, don't let my cynical comments stop you enjoying it …
