Is your name really Meet John? Sounds unlikely...

Welcome to DaniWeb, Ruby.

Hi Toby, welcome to DaniWeb.

See the rules: "provide evidence of having done some work yourself if posting questions from school or work assignments"

Cutting and pasting your assignment does not count...

I must be the exception, as the size doesn't bother me at all here (at least on the lappy and big screen, not tried the tablet yet)

I Think Bob has hit the nail on the head in as far as for DaniWeb the majority of users are coming to find the answer to a single and specific question. They succeed and then go. Attempting to retain those people is the challenge, and that can only be answered by user engagement. In terms of community building that means we have to tempt them into becoming more engaged with what we have to offer over and beyond the immediate 'solution fix' that they came for. Maybe the related articles section needs to be both more impactful and better tweaked towards content that will hold interest? Once members have hung around a little by way of content exploration, then they have to be motivated into participation; the member rewards scheme is a good case in point although most of the long term and most valued members participate because they want to. Finding out why they want to, what drives them, may be a good idea? Perhaps a valued member survey of some sort is in order?

Welcome aboard!

Off for a bone scan today as it's the scaphoid bone (one of the carpals) I have broken and there is some concern about blood supply to the thumb apparently. Still mighty painful, but could be a lot worse I guess. I'm in an immobilising splint/brace thing rather than a cast at the moment, although that could change after today. The main problem is that I haven't been able to rest it as much as I should, as I still need to work and that means being at the keyboard for a few hours a day. Only relief I have had was last week when I was at the hospital for a few days while my old mum had her heart valve replacement.

I play CoD:AW far too much (on xbone)

Am taking something of a forced gaming vacation at the moment though, courtesy of a fractured wrist :)

Thread closed as inhabited mainly by same person with multiple accounts talking to themselves...

How bizarre that the 'Bangalore SEO Company' should need to ask such basic questions about how to bring new visitors to a site. Either you are just here for the spamming, or you are really crap at your job. Or both...

No.

My idea of final is the end. Does that help at all?

Yes.

You will need to elaborate a lot more than that.

I certainly think whiskey may have been involved.

No need to apologise, knew exactly where you were coming from.

Read the dates...

We will not provide help with anything that could be illegal, see the rules...

Thread closed.

What?

Let me clarify that: WHAT?

Seriously, if you want help with something you need to be a LOT more specific...

It's all splinted up and immobilised at the moment, back to the hospital for more x-rays and possibly a bone scan in 10 days when it will either stay in splint or get potted for three months :(

say hello in your language of choice

OK, in British English:

'Hello'

Go on then rishiforum, if you can add anything of value to help the OP then fire away. Do it in this forum though so everyone can see and benefit from it. This isn't a place to try and sell your services through...

I broke my wrist this week (scaphoid fracture) which is fun. Didn't involve any tool bashing though.

Adobe Flash users have been under attack from cybercriminals again, this time courtesy of a zero day exploit kit by the name of Angler. The exploit kit has been readily available on the dark market, and hits vulnerabilities to be found in Flash Players up to 15.0.0.223, as well as the latest release.

There is some uncertainty as to who is at risk from this kit, with some sources claiming Windows 8.1 and Google Chrome users are safe, while others tell me any version of Internet Explorer used with any version of Windows is at risk if Adobe Flash player 16.0.0.287 is installed and enabled.

It's best to assume, therefore, that if you are an Adobe Flash user you are at risk. Adobe has issued an emergency patch for the Angler exploit under CVE-2015-0310 which covers vulnerabilities in the older versions, and a patch for the version 16.0.0.287 exploit should be available in the coming week.

Adobe recommends users update their product installations to the latest versions:

Users of the Adobe Flash Player desktop runtime for Windows and Macintosh should update to Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.287.

Users of the Adobe Flash Player Extended Support Release should update to Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.262.

Users of Adobe Flash Player for Linux should update to Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.438.

Adobe Flash Player installed with Google Chrome, as well as Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x, will automatically update to version 16.0.0.287.

Here's some info: please do not use this site to spam your products. Read the rules before continuing my friend.

If, after NINE YEARS, the OP has not solved the issue then I don't think downloading a trial of Kaspersky AV is going to help much...

But, if you had actually read the posting, you should have noticed the problem was solved NINE YEARS AGO.

The forum description pretty much covers it then: "Our Internet Marketing forum category encompasses everything related to running, managing, maintaining, and growing a successful online presence"

Are. You. Serious.

Welcome from a very snowy West Yorkshire, England.

It's a welcome from him, and a welcome from me. (random reference to The Two Ronnies thrown in for free - I blame the weather)

Really, are you?

Antivirus is protection against infection (the clue is in the name).

Spyware is something malicious that infects your computer (the clue is in the name).

One does one's best :)

anyone can help me in getting the whole java technology details

What stultuske said, plus Google and java.com

Excellent. You know what you need, now you have to code it. Good luck.

I have never played games on my laptop, despite it being sold as a gaming lappy. I'm a confirmed Xbone man. So why a gaming lappy then? Simples - the power and build of the thing provides me with something which can survive the bashing I tend to give my work tools. Over to Diafol for the double entendre comment :)

please help me i have to give teacher after 1 hour

Ding! You've failed. Next...

I currently don't have a desktop, only laptops, because I found that I could only use the desktop in the office :)

Actually, I have three laptops: my main work one (something of an overspecced powerhouse which was built to last for the long haul), my old one (stays in the office as an emergency spare) and the family one at home (which I rarely use as there are always teenage boys on it).

Don't feed the troll.

I would have thought a genius NASA programmer would be able to find a decent source of tutorials himself.

According to François Beaufort who is a French 'Happiness Evangelist' at Google (and no, I didn't make that up), Chromebook users will soon be able to choose what operating system they want. In a publicly shared post from last week, Beaufort states that "in order to support installing and testing custom code on Chrome OS devices, the chromium team is currently adding the ability to easily enable Debugging Features when the device is booted in Developer Mode." This will mean that such things as removing the rootfs verification top enable OS file modification will be possible, along with enabling SSH access using standard test keys and, importantly, booting from USB for installing an OS image off a USB drive.

OK, so the ability to run your Chromebook on something like Ubuntu isn't exactly new but these changes will likely make the process easier. That said, you are still talking about having to 'powerwash' the Chromebook into the Dev Channel and enable debugging features, so it's still not for the feint-hearted and there's always the opportunity to brick your device if you get it wrong.

So is anyone here already running a dual-boot Chromebook, or inspired to get rid of ChromeOS following this news? If so, let us know how you get on.

What tune?

What do you mean by play your laptop?

I have worked on a laptop when ill in bed before now.

Dani, don't feed the troll.

Don't feed the troll.

Creating multiple accounts and posting multiple piles of crap on each is a good example of how not to get to become a moderator. Ever.

Jack/Perpy is just some loser troll. Ignore him and he will go away. Simples.

It will be back in another form, I think that's a given.
