Re: What kind of car do you drive?

A 2002 Hyundai Santro.

Compact, maneuverable, comfortable, great mileage (16 kilometers per litre) and a great AC system. Ofcourse, the Sony CD System packs a wallop too.

Re: Home page + firefox=weird prob

Here's a cheesy fix. Why not add some sort of promotional/informative notice for registered users? That ought to take care of your problem. I know it's not an elegant fix from a programming point of view, but if it works, well...why not?

Re: Custom page to login to Yahoo, Gmail, MSN etc

No, you should use as much security as you can.

I'm saying, though, that if the page you posted is itself accessed securely, via HTTPs, then you've taken a reasonable first step.

Access from that page to the various sites, should already be secure.

The page (whose code i posted) is hosted on Geocities, so https is out. In this case, if I use the page to login, it willnot be secure, right?

I guess what I'm asking is: even if I use https, will it be as secure to use this page as it is to use gmail's home page? I'm guessing it won't be.

If possible, can you please examine the code and let me know ?

Re: SATA install problems -- I'm Frustrated!

First off, check if the HDD is detected in the BIOS, if it is, you need to enable the SATA channel in the BIOS. Once this is done, boot to Windows (from your old HD). You'll be prompted with the Add new hardware wizard. Follow the prompts and insert the mobo driver disk when you're asked to. This should take care of your problem. Just to be doubly sure, go to Device Manager and verify your new HD is correctly detected under the 'Disk Drives' category.

So you're saying that I could pass the username and password without hashing it, but use https and be assured of a relatively safe transmission?

Re: Changing HD between Computers

Try powering the computer with the most minimalist setup. ie. CPU, one RAM stick and a VGA card (if you dont have one onboard). If the computer doesn't work, try cleaning up all the contact areas and make sure all hardware is plugged in tight.

Re: Custom page to login to Yahoo, Gmail, MSN etc

If he hosts it securely, using "https" to access it, and it links to the various services securely, using "https", then it should be reasonably secure.

I don't know. I'm guessing gmail (as an example), does hash the passwords during sign in. This is in addition to the secure http channel used. If you take a look at the code, I don't think it's being encrypted anywhere.

What do you think?

Re: Bad Motherboard, processor, ram

Sometimes, resetting the CMOS can help. Remove the CMOS battery and leave the mobo for 10-15 minutes. Re insert the battery and see if this helps.

Some models may have a CMOS reset jumper. Try to short this jumper and the CMOS should clear itself.

Else, as nizzy suggested, check to make sure the CPU is seated firmly, theres no dust on any sockets and the RAM is plugged in firmly. Then, leave only the VGA card, one RAM stick plugged in and see if the system powers up.

Custom page to login to Yahoo, Gmail, MSN etc

Hey all

A friend of mine just designed a page and added the yahoo and gmail login boxes to it. Now, it works. What I want to ask is this. If I he was to host it, and use it to login to yahoo, gmail whatever, would it be secure? My guess is it wouldn't be, but I could be wrong. By secure, I mean will it be possible to sniff the username and password when he uses this page to login?

The code for this file is as follows. Also, the page is a regular HTML page (.htm) and not ASP, PHP etc.

Re: if then statement

>You do realise that in C++, the main function, when an integer, expects a return value.
As a matter of fact, I'm quite familiar with that rule and all of the details that go along with it. Are you?

>So you shouldn't snip off the "return 0;" part.
In standard C++, if you fall off the end of the main function, 0 is returned implicitly. When I'm writing pre-standard C++, the rules for C89 apply and you're correct. But I'm not, so you're not. I would appreciate not being incorrectly corrected, so you would best do your research before asuming that I've made a mistake.

>If you don't want to return a value in main(), declare main() as void
This proves that you're not yet qualified to correct me on technical details of the C++ standard. void main is:

1) Non-portable on a hosted implementation that explicitly allows it.
2) Undefined on a hosted implementation that does not allow it.

At least one very common implementation doesn't allow void main, so your suggestion is very poor. Even on implementations that allow it, void main buys you *nothing*, especially in standard C++ where it doesn't even save you keystrokes.

>int main(void)
This is also a matter of style. C++ doesn't require empty parameter lists to be designated by void.

>void main() is never ever acceptable
It's perfectly acceptable on a freestanding implementation. The rules we refer to when talking about main are exclusive to hosted …

The WORST Web sites

Hey
We all know there's no dearth of badly designed web sites out there. Well, why don't we start listing them here? Anyone who thinks a web site is bad in terms of design, content, implementation, whatever can post a link here so we can all see what NOT to do when creating web sites.

Remember you're free to pass comments about the web sites already posted as well...

I'll go first with www.asusceo.in

What do I hate about this site? Pretty much everything. The color combination, the bad spelling and grammar, pathetic layout, no logical flow of content.

The worst part is that I was supposed to design the site, but someone else came up with this design first and the authorities loved it. As soon as I saw this design, I pulled out of the design committee.

Re: Dell 8500 DIMM B problem. Cant recognize memory

First off, I'd try cleaning the slot. If that doesn't work, you're going to have to contact Dell, as the slot may have to be changed. If the system is still under warranty (and you haven't voided it by installing the new RAM), you can ask Dell to replace the mainboard.

Re: New Problem

try lookin on the video card itself, if that doesn't work go to Start, Programs, Accesories, System Tools, System Information. Then go into components then display. Under name it should tell you what type of video card you have. Then go to manufacturers webite and download drivers from there.

Sysinfo only queries the drivers installed for the hardware info. hence, it will show "Standard PCI VGA bla bla bla"

The best way to find your manufacturer is to simply look at the GFX card.
