Dani was testing stuff, and this thread was used as part of that which caused it to appear in the feed.

Hello there - that looks like a homework assignment question, what we need to see is the code you have completed so far and where exactly you are having problems. Post that and someone should be able to help you out, however members here won't just do your homework for you I'm afraid...

Agree with pty, it's the 'get pissed on cheap supermarket booze then go into town at 10pm on a Friday or Saturday night' tossers that are the main cause of what you might call casual violence in the UK. I can look after myself, but have to admit I haven't been in any city centre after 10pm for a bloody long time now - why put yourself in the firing line when you don't have to?

Does logging in to a system that requires no password count as "hacking"?

You may well have a point there ;-)

So what is the correct answer then? Do please share...

What Alan said, please post more details in order to facilitate the help you require.

Test what? The Link Collider thing you've mentioned in three out of your six posts?

It's invite only, and moderators are generally selected from veteran members of DaniWeb who have been helping others hereabouts for many years.

First become a moderator or admin, and then... ;-)

Hi Rizwan, welcome to the good ship DaniWeb. Be sure to tell your virtual, and real, friends and colleagues about us!

Sounding very much like a 'return to vendor and exchange for one that isn't broken' scenario to me. Why waste your valuable time trying to make something work that you've just bought, and which should be working out of the box?

I need to know the current SEO tips and tricks for generating more traffic to my site

In which case, seeing as your site offers digital marketing services including SEO and traffic generation, you are truly crap at your job and nobody should hire your company. Especially as you say you have

tried many off - page strategies but I countdn't get results

Why isn't your site in your profile so others can comment about it?

Because, it turns out, the site is a digital marketing one. So the question was just a precursor to the inevitable spam which I've just deleted...

I've been writing about various security risks in the health sector for many years now. Usually my articles cover patient privacy, data protection and health provider network insecurity issues. Occasionally, they spill over into darker territory where the cyber risk morphs into a very real one as far as the health of the patient is concerned.

Take my story at SC Magazine a couple of years ago which reported how researchers at Rapid7 had uncovered vulnerabilities in an insulin pump that had the potential to change the dosage supplied. Sure, the actual risk of exploit was low given that an attacker would have to have close proximity to the pump, and be armed with the hardware and knowledge to make the changes. Yet the fact that the pump was vulnerable to hacking is enough, in my never humble opinion, to demonstrate the dangers that life-saving technology can pose if security isn't built in from the ground up. That it wasn't can be evidenced by the fact that the same Rapid7 researcher had uncovered vulnerabilities in another brand of insulin pump some five years earlier. But what about now, has the security of healthcare devices improved?

The scary answer is not so much. As well as drug pumps, another medical device that has hit the insecurity headlines in the distant past has been the pacemaker. Ten years ago, in March 2008, The Register reported how some 'implantable cardiac defibrillators' which included pacemaker functionality, were vulnerable to an attack methodology …

Just tried to log in on mobile, did the Dazah thing (email/pass correct) and when it returned mt to DaniWeb I get an Oops! message saying: "Sorry, but we are unable to connect to your Dazah account. Please visit your Dazah User Settings and ensure that your account is not deactivated."

Going to Dazah shows the account isn't deactivated and all appears good. But I cannot login via mobile for some reason. I'm logged in OK on my laptop (obviously) and don't now want to log out in case there's a bug here that will stop me logging back in :-)

You contact Roadrunner support and ask them?
You follow the links in the help section at Roadrunner and reset your password?

The suggestion was to "Pare down the code to just what's needed and if some SQL database schema is needed to understand you have to share that as well" rather than just dump all your code, to be fair. Try doing that before giving up. You have to make it as easy as possible for the people who want to help you to be able to help you, if you see what I mean.

I think skiing (vaguely Korean) should be an Olympic sport, it certainly couldn't be less boring than ordinary skiing. :-)

I can't help with the question, but can let you know there's an edit window of 30 minutes where you can change your post. After that, if it's something material to the question that can't be dealt with in a comment then you can always PM one of the admins or mods and we'll edit for you if deemed necessary. Hope that helps a bit for future endeavours.

As you are in the Microsoft Windows forum, perhaps you could explain exactly what you are asking and in what context with this in mind?

Do you mean 'Smart Guesture' rather than guest?

What version have you installed, what isn't working as expected, and what hardware are you using?

Are you asking if Domain Authority and Page Authority are no longer factors in SEO?

Anyone who knows me will happily inform you that I am, as my username implies, rather tech obsessed. I'm not a happy geek when it comes to smartphone cases though, and it's been a long time since I've been able to say I've got the perfect case for my current device. Way back, when I carried an iPhone 5, I swore by my Otter Box for protection. It was bulky, but you could probably drive a tank over it with confidence. The thing is, the iPhone was tiny by comparison to the Samsung Galaxy S8+ that I am using these days. Wrapping this thing up in such a case would be reminiscent of the very start of the mobile revolution: I'd be carrying a brick.

For the past six months my case of choice has been the Spigen Tough Armor, a dual-layer heavy duty protection device that adds very little to the profile of my S8+. My phone has survived a number of drops from height without injury, including those where it landed screen first onto concrete. It's almost the perfect case, but not quite: it has a kickstand, which I don't use often but when I do need it then it's an essential, but it's not the grippiest case I've ever owned (hence the drops.)

So I've been trying out the Speck Presidio GRIP as an alternative. I looked at the plain vanilla Presidio, but this was even slippier than the Spigen so …

I would have thought that a web development outfit such as yours would already know the SEO basics such as this...

To be fair, it is in the SEO forum and it is an SEO question and the answers that remain are answering that question. SO only allows programming-related SEO questions, which is why you wouldn't find this stuff there. I get you don't like this stuff, so don't read the SEO or Digital Marketing forums - they are not aimed at the programmer members of the community after all. It's a bit like an SEO geek going into the PHP forum and complaining about all the coding questions asked...

You should post this question as a new discussion rather than a comment to a 13 year old, long dead, thread. That way you are more likely to get your question answered. Not all those who might be able to help will see this otherwise... All the best.

thanks for giving information i try this option

Now five days later, and I see no articles from you waiting to be published in the artcile workshop here on DaniWeb... Having problems?

Oh look, here's another of YOUR OWN ANSWERS on the subject:

Facebook ad is best way compared with other media ads. Its drive more traffic to your website & easily create brand awareness.

Anyway, in response to your question - here's an answer you gave yourself in another thread:

Many social media platforms are available for advertise your product. You choose the social media platform depends on your products, services & targeted people.

I'm sure one of your other accounts will be along soon to 'answer' as well...

What rproffitt said.

Go to the section of DaniWeb that covers the topic you are writing about. Select 'start new discussion' and then the 'need to do something else instead?' link from where you can use the 'topic type' dropdown to choose from news, review, interview or tutorial - whichever best suits the article you want to share. Then write the thing, and hit contribute. The article draft will then be checked by one of our editorial team here at DaniWeb, and if it is suitable for publication will be published.

So there's one option for you, why not give it a go?

That makes no sense kavi_3. If you agree article sharing is useless then why ask for ways to share articles? Unless I'm missing something here...

I'm betting someone will be along soon to 'answer' all these various movie player questions (member has posted lots across various forums) with spam about some ripping/conversion/player software...

Yes, feel free to ask your questions here on DaniWeb, in the forum, where experienced members will be happy to help free of charge. No need to take it to chat with a 'consultant' who will no doubt charge for his services and where other members will not benefit from the solution.

Just saying...

Be warned though, the likes of Music Magpie (and the others) pay pennies for such things. I had a bunch of DVDs to sell, and was offered prices as low as 50p for a Big Bang Theory multi-series boxset FFS! and 10p for individual items. I would imagine the prices for CDs are even lower. I ended up giving them to a charity shop rather than letting some commercial outfit sell them on at a quid or two each time.

Did you have a question to ask other than repeating the title of that two year old post? Best to start a new thread if you do (rather than hijacking an old one) and explain fully what the problem you are having is so that others are in a position to offer some help. Thanks.

Erm, you joined DaniWeb an hour ago according to your profile...

To think in terms of white/grey/black hats is, IMHO, way too simplistic. Perhaps there need to be multiple terms rather than multiple definitions of one term? Take a look at the definitions here http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hacker.html which include everything from programmabkle system tweaking, obsessive coding, expert coders, enthusiasts/experts of any kind. The one definition missing, it has been deprecated from the list, is the malicious meddler/information thief - which it uses the older yet term of cracker for.

A survey of attendees at Infosecurity Europe earlier this month showed 70 percent in favour of the dictionary definition (in this case the Cambridge Dictionary) of a hacker being amended. The amendment in question being to remove 'illegality' from the definition. The current definition of a hacker is "a person who is skilled in the use of computer systems, often one who illegally obtains access to private computer systems".

So what do you reckon, DaniWebbers? Is it time that hacker was reclaimed entirely (rather than relying upon black and white labels) and if so what word should replace it as the default for those who illegally access systems and data? Cybercriminal (bit of a mouthful, and covers a much broader group than just 'hackers') or maybe the much less used these days cracker (which has a different pejorative meaning in US slang of course) or, well, what?

Discuss :-)

silpa_1 Please repost your question as a new post, this thread is eight years old and you are unlikely to get much help by tacking a new question onto it...

What an odd question for the owner of 'India's number one mobile and laptop reparing institute' to ask. Anyone would think that either the question is some kind of failed spam attempt or you don't actually know that much about repairing computers at all...

Methinks you are going to have to explain that question, as it isn't immediately clear what it is you are asking.

I can't remember the last time that 'paint' (ps. it's ink - there's a clue in the name) dried up in an inkjet printer. You'd have to leave it unused for a very long time for that to even stand a chance of happening. Unless you actually mean 'runs out of ink' in which case there's no difference there between the two types as lasers 'run out of toner' as well, neither will print without food.

As has already been mentioned, quality comes down to more than the printer itself (and most printer models are pretty much the same with regards to quality these days, the differentiators tend to be speed of print and other extras with regard to paper handling etc - unless you are looking at printers designed purely for photographic work, for example, which will be tweaked for this usage.) The inks you use make a difference, and some cheap third party inks aren't as good as the OEM ones - just to confuse matters not all OEM inks are equal either; some have better longevity than others for example. The paper is probably the biggest difference the end user can influence: use crappy, lightweight, cheap paper and the results will not be as good as heavier, more expensive and better paper. This is especially apt when printing mixed text and image sheets.

If you are an average office, with average office needs, then the speed of duplex printing you get from a laser (which doesn't …

Not making fun, but hinting that if you are doing a BSc, and if you are considering a title for a project as part of that, then understanding the language you are writing it in (and getting your spelling right) is actually quite important...

Not so. All sites require a SSL cert unless they are happy being either flagged as insecure by web browsers (or the user refused a connection) and being hit with a search ranking penalty. Your comment is now very dated indeed I'm afraid afia_1

Is that dog gromming or personal gromming?

There are three things wrong with DaniWeb: no traffic, no traffic and no traffic. Pain points were never an issue before Google sunk DaniWeb search results.

I am at a loss as to how to solve this issue, I'm sad to say. We have a superb core of experienced members happy to help those actually looking for help. We have a great community feel that stretches across everything that DaniWeb does. What we don't have is the exposure on search engines, well Google, and without that nobody gets to discover the good things about DaniWeb. I'm no SEO expert, but there must be some traction in looking at what Google doesn't like about DaniWeb and changing that (even if only at the cosmetic/surface level) to be more Google friendly?

Oh, I get more than enough requests from recruiters. However, I apply my usual common sense filtering and 99.9% of them are just diverted into the etherial dev null trash. Ditto the the crap that's designed to get you to sign up to the totally pointless (as far as I can see) premium subscription plan.

The offers of work that turn into client contracts have all come from existing contacts or people requesting contact who are what they say (and a quick Google on them/their company usually confirms or otherwsie).

I must be the only person on DaniWeb that doesn't think LinkedIn is a steaming pile of poop. Not that I'm a huge fan, but I've had a profile their for the longest time, post links to my editorial and have had (and continue to have) offers of work that turn into paying clients. Beyond that, I've also made some interesting contacts that I wouldn't otherwsie have done (differrent to my Twitter or Facebook networks).

Skype, can't comment as I don't do videoconferencing or phone calls for that matter - I've been phonephobic for many years so it's email/sms/f2f or nothing. Yes, as a journalist this can make life more complicated than it should be :-)

As for Github, can't see much bad coming out of the MS acquisition if I'm honest - other than maybe the haters finding an alternative, just because they've gotta hate.

Excellent! Glad you are sorted now, but hang around for a bit anyway :-)

What an odd question, from someone who has just posted an advert for their SEO/Social Media Marketing company (now deleted, as is the case with all such spam).

Of course, if your idea of SEO is posting adverts on forums then you need all the help you can get buddy!
