I KNow WC is over, but I just wanna get this out there:

Brasil must've been paid bank to play like they did against France, because I think we all agree that Brasil is a better team than France, but their performance left much to whish for in their game. I mean, they didn't even make it to the Quarters.

Brazil have better (and younger) players than France (arguebly with the exception of Ribery, Zidane and Henry). France were the better team.

The reason france won was because their midfield prevented Brazil from playing how they like to play. Makalele, Viera and Zidane bossed the midfield.

good players != good team

select 	@newrowcount = 'NUM'
from ExcelToSql
where NUM = @rowcounter

this bit is wrong. it should be :

selec @newrowcount = NUM
from ExcelToSQL
where <the id field of your table, so it can scroll through> = @rowcounter

hi, why not try freebsd, openbsd or netbsd? They are derived from BSD (the University of California's version of UNIX.

hello Bernard,

feel free to ask away

Firefox!! If it is compatible with Firefox, it will certainly be compatible with IE. IE is way more forgivable than Firefox.

just make sure you don't use semitransparent png files, activex components, various css techniques...

Just wondering if any rails experts could give me a hand with this problem.

I have rails/fcgi/lighttpd set up, when I use script/server it loads up fine. However if I try to run lighttpd as a service /etc/init.d/lighttpd start using the config file in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf it doesn't quite work.

It displays the welcome to rails message but in the "About your application's environment" box it has 404 error, I also get a 404 error when trying to view any dynamic pages.

Here is my lighttpd.conf file :

missed the from and where clause off the select

I'm working from a powerbook operating OSX and I've not been able to log into MSN Messenger for Mac since I installed it (several times, mind!). This has been about two months.

MSN have been spectacularly unhelpful over this two month period, taking at least a week or two to respond to each query/reply to their suggestions. None of them has worked.

I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing, everything! The error I get is that my user name or password is incorrect but I know absolutely this is wrong because a) I can sign in on other computers and b) I can still sign in to Hotmail on my Mac.

Help! Please?

just wondering, have you tried adiumx

ok, i'm assuming you have an id column as your pk

i probably have loads of errors in here but don't have mssql to try it with, hopefully what im doing is apparent though.

What is the most popular scripting language on the internet?
what is the most popular Database?

my guess would be perl for scripting language and access for database.

note, i'm not ranking those guesses on how good they are; just how many people use them

edit: i didn't read the 'on the internet' part of your post. in terms of dynamic sites its got to be php/mysql

Is anyone here familiar with this? It makes a lot of promises, particularly that [with hard work] you can get enough programming knowledge within six months to get an entry-level job. In the same author's book, Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days, she explains that if you put in 12 hours of study a week, through about six months, you should know enough C++ to get an entry level programming position.

So what I'm wondering, has anyone had success with these books, or simply from teaching yourself a programming language and skipping any sort of college or technical university? To make this clearer, how long did it take those of you who have jobs in the programming field to get those jobs (from the point you knew near nothing about programming to the day you were hired)? How old were you when you got your job? Is it considered atypical in the IT industry to hire someone under the age of 21?

Unfortunately employers seem to want either a degree (CS/IT or something similar) or lots of experience - when recruiting they indicate that the candidate will be able to do the job.

From my experience, when you apply for entry level jobs you're likely to be up against candidates who will have degrees. Generally, people with a Degree have a better chance of getting to the interview stage - its just the way it works.

Even if you become extremely profficient in a given language, employers will …

Can any of you give me advice as to how I can restore sound on my 2 desktop pcs???

turn them on?

plug speakers in?

turn the volume up?

put a sound card in?

do a voodoo dance around them til it works?

sorry but how do you expect any decent information if you don't give ANY details on the machines?

How can I connect to SQL Server database using VB.I have received some errors during connection.Plz give me a replay as soon as possible

Hello, is the savior of my work out there?? Problem: How can I transfer data /names from a database works (horizontally) into a spreadsheet (vertically) in order to sort the names A-Z ?? I am a teacher and need to do this very often... but????:rolleyes:
I have ms works 6.0 and as well windows 98 and also windows 2000.
No help in sight from the HELP!! button :-|
Thanks if someone can help me!!
friedolin:lol:

Didn't know MS Works had a database.

If you open your database and click 'file', are there any 'export' options available?

Alternatively, if you click 'file'->'save as' can you select a file format? If you can, try saving it as .xls (or whatever the MS Works Spreadsheet file extension is)

I concede; VB is good for doing things quickly.

I did mean the actual language itself was uncool though :)

thepiratebay.org is legal under Swedish law. The reason they were raided was due to the Swedish government being put under pressure by the US government and the MPAA

Also, referring to the downloading of music, films and software as theft is totally incorrect. It is copyright infringement. The two are completely different.

With the internet flooded with over the top flash sites, it refreshing to see a company use flash just to get there point across. On top of that they provided a fun ass game. Here’s the link to the site and direct to the game:

best way to use it sucessfully is to use it as little as possible

in some instances it may be required; a cartoon/movie/animation being the obvious example. using it for intros, navigation, content, adverts stuff should be avoided at all costs, in my humble opinion.

i can't believe how many people seem to think vb is cool.

can anyone give me one cool feature about vb?

hehe

Hmmm, would it make sense to wait until theres a decent amount of interest then look at the spread of people before we decide on a city?

I don't know London too well so can't really reccomend a venue.

Definately sounds a good idea though.

Hi to everybody,

I'm running Mozilla on a RedHat Enterprise with GNOME and the xserver is in a remote computer with Cygwin.

The size of the window is tiny, almost the same of the gnome-terminal. I'd like to change the Mozilla window properties. I've looked in the preferences menu in mozilla but the window size does not appear.

Do anybody knows which file or which menu contains these porperties?

Thanks a lot.

hi, if you look in ~/.mozilla/default/blah.sit/localstore.rdf

there should be a section that resembles the following:

<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul#main-window"
                   sizemode="normal"
                   width="767"
                   height="400"
                   screenX="5"
                   screenY="52" />

if you change the width and height values in there it should do the trick

can you paste the surrounding code/function?

sounds good to me

heres the same os with compiz/xgl.

here's a video to see it in action link to google videos

this should be of some use

it's ubuntu linux running gnome 2.14

mine is nice and simple. and i never liked the idea of icons on the desktop

tried the latest version (windows live messenger / v8 ) ?

its out of beta now

Anybody can help me in this situation. Now I’m using MS Access to create a system but I need to install the MS Access in every PC that has use the system. So if I put the MS Access in server and then all the user just point to that server that means I only need one MS Access. Anybody who is known the step and the source I need to do and have? Can anyone give me some advice on this? Thanks.

unless you plan on writing a client or web interface you'll still need access installed on each machine.

you should be able to write a client in vb or delphi fairly easily, or use asp/asp.net if you're that way inclined.

it was only the other day we were talking about retro ms internet-related products in irc

Sooo..
I'm having media problems.
This has been an ongoing problem, and no matter what I try, I can't seem to fix it.

I can't get AmaroK or Kaffeine to play anything. They're using the Xine engine, because it has oh-so-many great reviews and I thought it'd be a good one to work with. But Xine hasn't got support for --anything--. And it frustrates me because I can't seem to find the plugins I need. I installed Realplayer to play mp3, and that's the best I've got so far. I also tried other engines but none work, and I want to use Xine, I just need it to function.

What I want -- codecs/plugins for playing basic DVD, Mpg, Mp3, and that's it.
They should be included by default, and maybe they are, but I can't get anything to work.

Someone please help :cry:

what distro are you using? and on what architecture (x86 / ppc etc)

if you're using ubuntu you should check out the automatix

This may be a stupid question, but can someone explain the advantages of XML over HTML.

you should be able to find that out in about 10 seconds on google. or wikipedia.

there are probably thousands of articles on this subject. did you do any research at all before you asked?

in Delphi :

program simplecount;

var
   i: Integer;
 
begin
   for i := 1 to 10 do
      WriteLn(IntToStr(i));
end.

and in perl (because everyone loves perl) :

#!/usr/bin/perl

for($i  = 0; $i < 10; ++$i)
    {
        print $i . "\n"
    }

I use Ruby mostly these days. From previous posts you can tell why; so so elegant

or, my personal fave: format C: /u

<hehehehehe>

No, seriously. If you need to bering it back to the "new computer stage", I'd suggest you get your hands on the OS media and format the HD completely. Then, setup your OS afresh.

yes. if it came with a recovery disk try to get hold of it and restart the computer with it in the CD-rom drive

if it didn't you're best trying to get hold of a plain windows XP disk. i wouldnt buy a retail one maybe try ebay or something. no point spendin £200 on windows when you can get a new laptop with it installed for like £400

or, if you're feeling confident go to ubuntu.com

Hi,
After having discussions with friends about what they prefer to play their games on, whether it be ( a PC or a games console such as an xbox ) and the findings were rather more favourable of the computer. So i'm just wondering what do you prefer to play your games on?

( p.s i'm new here, hello :) )

used to spend all my time playing counterstrike.

nowerdays just play the odd game of pro evo on xbox live

I'd like to know if I have to change security settings or something on my SQL Server in order to applications like ASP or VB to return a recordset. When my applications in VB or ASP return a recordset from a VIEW, I have not problems at all, but when I try to return a Stored Procedure I get the following error:
"Operation is not allowed when the object is closed"
BUT, the object is open, It works on views, if I use:

objRS.Open "SELECT * FROM VIEW", Connection

I have no problems, but when I use

objRS.Open "EXECUTE spProc", Connection

I get problems. Is this a SQL Server side problem that I need to configure??

Thanks

this article on Microsoft's support site may help

if you just type random words (ie not a web address) in the firefox address bar afaik it does a google 'i'm feeling lucky' search on them and directs you to that page

Wow that was fast, thanks!

I did the first one but I am skipping the second, I was hoping to have username populated but still require authenticaion (not a big deal.)

ah, i see what you mean. don't think i read your question properly :)

you could always try the login style with the face browser - then you can double click on your icon and put your password in (kind of like xp home style).

i guess unless you have a long name just typing in your login is fastest

Hello everyone,

I have a fresh install of dapper drake and I would like to change two things from the default behavior:

1) How do you change to a "single click" desktop?

2) Can this system "remember" the last logged in username and go straight to the password prompt?

Any pointers in the right direction will be appreciated.

1) in gconf-editor go into apps->nautilus->preferences and change click_policy to "single"

2) system->administration->login window; click the security tab, then tick enable automatic login and put your name in the box

yeah - i wasn't having a dig or saying you're wrong

i'd agree with that however for personal finance Grisbi is probably more suitable than GnuCash

what do they call vegitarian pot-noodles in Korea?

not poodles.

ahahahahaha

I need to "clean" the database so I only have data starting from 1-1-06. Can anyone help? Thanks.:)

if you don't have date fields in the tables you want to 'clean', or tables you can easily join, it could be tricky.

can't you just revert to a backup?

this may be what you're after.

you need firefox and java installed.

I am planning to have Linux as my main operating system.
However, I have following concerns

1) Do all the programs I use in windows can be use in the Linux?

2) Do the Linux offer better the internet connection than window in term of stability and speed?

Anyone can tell? thank you.

1) No. Although there are alternatives to most.

2). Not sure I understood the question. Stability depends more on the applications than the OS itself, both operating systems left to themselves are pretty stable. Linux however, is probably more stable when applications crash - ie there is less chance of the app taking down the OS (in my experience). Speed wise, for web stuff the difference is negligible.

If I were you I'd set up a dual booting system and evaluate it yourself.

where can i find good articles about Delphi?

what is wrong with this loop?

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var a: integer;
begin
for a:=1 to 5 do
begin
ShowMessage('Window: '+InToStr(a));
end;
end;

end.

i receive this error
[Error] Unit1.pas(31): Undeclared identifier: 'InToStr'

any help is appreciated

InToStr is not a function. You're looking for IntToStr which, funnily enough, converts Integers to Strings.

try goin to about.delphi.com if you need tutorials etc

whati s wrong with this loop?

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
var j: Integer;
for j:=1 to 5 do
begin
ShowMessage('Box: '+InToStr(j));
end;
end.

you need to declare the var first:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  j: integer;
begin
  for j:=1 to 5 do
    begin
      ShowMessage('box : ' + IntToStr(j));
    end;
end;

I frequently find tutorial sites that have screenshots that are taken outside of Window XP such as a "how to reinstall windows" tutorial.

One way would obviously take a photo with a digi cam of the screen and crop it. However these tutorial screenshots I have been finding are screenshot quality rather than cropped photo.

Anyone know how to take a screenshot outside windows?

VMware :)
