 | Happygeek used to write for the real Times (and had a column in the Sunday Times) back in the nineties. What goes around comes around :)  |
 | Re: Cache Files If that's a serious question, then I doubt *anyone* can help you other than a therapist of some sort...  |
| | Mea Culpa. Bad habit from some time ago when we used to sticky news/editorial content to prevent if from immediately being drowned out of sight in busy forums. I need to wean myself off of still doing it :)  |
| | Welcome to DaniWeb Gary! |
 | As a gamer myself, I thought that last year was a pretty good one. After all, not only did I get to play both GTA V and Call of Duty: Ghosts (indeed, I'm still playing it and working my may through the prestige levels) but if I had enough spare …  |
| | One of the oldest technology truisms must be that you only realise the importance of backing up your systems after disaster strikes. This is especially true if you have no backups to turn to. There are, thankfully, few excuses aside from sheer laziness not to backup your data these days; …  |
 | Re: Lagging again Not just you, I was experiencing the same lag earlier with DW taking much longer than expected to post replies (this was mainly while sending PMs in my case) and then get back to my inbox. [edit} seems to have improved, for me, over what it was an hour ago … |
| | Try asking this as a new question, with specific details of what your problem actually is (the more information the better) and in the appropriate forum as I'm guessing it's got nothing to do with either web development or JSP, and you might find that we can help you. Hijacking …  |

| | anna - Have you ever been able to send email via hotmail or is this a new account? |
| | Small/Regular (depending upon coffee shop) black Americano with an extra shot. Nice and simple, hits the spot. My other half is a liuttle more complicated, she always has a regular decaf soya cappuccino with no choc sprinkles but with a small jug of hot water on the side. Can't remember … |

| | What's you favourite first line, or start, to a song? Mine varies according to my mood, but currently it has to be: **"Everybody here comes from somewhere that they would just as soon forget and disguise"** Supernatural, Superserious - R.E.M |
| | |
| | That's kind of to be expected though. They are probably looking for help on a specific subject, and so searching through postings initially related to that. Then they start browsing/exploring the site in more depth as they discover just what a vibrant community we are. Those members who have been … |

| | Nintendo is sitting firmly at the top of the games console tree right now, having just been 'bigged up' by the release of the US sales figures for October which show the Wii on 803,000 and the DS on 491,000. Both well ahead of nearest rival, the Xbox 360 on … |

| | Geeks' Lounge is pretty much meant to be eclectic by design; it's where 'everything else' goes that doesn't sit well in other forums, all the non-support chat in other words. I'm not sure that any kind of further sub-categorisation would achieve much, to be honest. The Games split happened because … |
| | OK, this thread is just a spam magnet now. Closed. |

| | Apparently it's Data Privacy Day tomorrow (January 28th) which, if you will allow me to quote the [Stay Safe Online](https://www.staysafeonline.org/data-privacy-day/about) website blurb, is an "international effort to empower and educate people to protect their privacy and control their digital footprint". Given the Edward Snowden NSA spying revelations that broke during … |
| | Or even [this one](http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/threads/471649/how-to-convert-julian-date-to-date-using-php) which is also abandoned? |

| | I think that this whole concept of forever slicing and dicing SEO into ever more precise, specific and narrow colour-coded categories is less than helpful and just serves to confuse what is essentially a fairly straightforward topic. However, trawling back through the online archives I see that generally speaking 'pink … |
| | If you have never stopped to think about language in terms of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) then the results of a survey by digital marketing agency Greenlight might make you do just that. According to the global Search and Social Survey, some 76% of people do their online searching in … |
 | Re: Hello Yes, we remember you. Hopefully you have developed a thicker skin and are more prepared for forum/chatroom life now... What happened to your project? I note you say 'used to own'. |
| | That's the surprising consensus reached at a meeting of 30 CSOs representing some of the UK's leading enterprises held in London during the past week. This despite a poll at the bi-annual [URL="http://www.csointerchange.org"]CSO Interchange[/URL] event revealing that those same CSOs view social networking as the most over-hyped threat. When it …  |
| | [ATTACH=RIGHT]22094[/ATTACH]Facebook Vice-President Chris Cox has [announced](https://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=10150251867797131) the latest in a seemingly never ending run of privacy updates for the worlds' biggest social network. The improvements can be summed up as tightening up the question most often asked by those users worried about their privacy, namely "who can see this?" Unless … |
| | I have been turning my USB thumb drives into fully encrypted data containers for years now, but readily admit that the prospect of rolling up your sleeves and getting down and dirty with encryption software is not as exciting to everyone as it is to me. However, with removable USB … |
| | Cool new feature, Dani. Here's mine http://www.daniweb.com/members/67225/happygeek/cv |
| | The Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is becoming the crowbar of the online criminal. In the past we have got rather used to DDoS attacks being one of the favoured approaches of hacktivists, with perhaps the Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) and later the High Orbit Ion Cannon (HOIC) …  |
| | When it comes to web browsers, my general rule of thumb is that the latest version is usually the most secure and this is certainly the case with Internet Explorer. However, when I started using Internet Explorer 11 on my new Windows 8.1 Pro laptop I soon discovered that latest … |

 | Re: Happy 2014 :) > 2014: The usual evening, an inconvenient day off, and now I have to remember to write 2014 instead of 2013. Hehe, what he said. Apart from the day off, as I'm in the office working now while all the bozo's recover from last night ;) |
 | He trolled DaniWeb forums using another account, which is banned for three months as a result. The mace_windu account is also banned, permanently, as it was an attempt to get around the other account ban which is something we do not allow.  |
| | Seeing as his signature is for a cell phone signal booster, and his username is signal121, and he has already had posts deleted for spamming signal booster adverts, I would imagine that this really isn't the 'problem' that the original post makes it out to bhe. Just saying... |
 | Glad we got you back Matthew (PS. you have another email which should help solve the final leftover problems you were having) |
| | Re: Gamer Define hardcore? I got to Prestige Master in Black Ops 2 on the Xbox, and am now working my way through the Ghosts ranks having completed the campaign over a couple of days. I completed GTA V in a week and am working my way to a 100% rating. Both … |

| | According to Dell SecureWorks Counter Threat Unit (CTU) security researcher [Keith Jarvis](http://www.secureworks.com/cyber-threat-intelligence/threats/cryptolocker-ransomware/), the CryptoLocker ransomware that has been written about so much of late has infected as many as 250,000 computers during the first 100 days of distribution (staring on the 5th of September, 2013). What's more, Jarvis estimates, based … |
| | Re: thankyou If it makes you feel any better I'm turning 50 in a couple of weeks, think how awful my birthday will be :) |
 | The single best way to get reputation points is to help people, participate positively in threads and answer their questions correctly. There really isn't a shortcut to better rep, it just comes naturally. Think of it as karma; rep is what the DaniWeb community gives back to those who give … |
| | My post count has dropped by something approaching 20,000. That's some re-tallying :) |
| | There are lots of reasons why I could say bah humbug today, but the primary one right now is aimed squarely at the spammers who seem to think that there will be nobody at DaniWeb to deal with their crap. Wrong. Happy xmas spamming losers, another day of your life …  |
| | Happy Xmas, or whatever you celebrate, to each and every DaniWeb member. Have a good one. Personally I'm trying to pretend it all doesn't exist, and that's why I am at work at the DaniWeb helm at 8am on Xmas morning - but apparently I'm just a bit weird... :) |
| | I always tend to think of an OS upgrade as a false economy. You may save time (or not as AD has discovered) in not having to reinstall applications, but if you keep your data separate from your applications the fresh start option must surely always win out in terms … |
The End.
