It's late and I'm sleepy and just got home from work, so I'll have more to say tomorrow. But for right now ... I gave in to ya about the color, didn't I? :) As far as printer-friendly blogs and code snippets, that got delayed because I got sick, but it's still got a high priority on my list of things to do.

sorry, but i would have to agree with dani though, it does look so much better in one colour

I was just wondering what are "Referrals" and "User Notes" used for.
For eg. most of the people on this forum have zero referral but Miss Dani has many of them.

Also what is the concept behind, member groups ??

ah i had a similar question so i asked `miss dani` about referrals, its how many you invite to daniweb, i.e i have referred 1 person, so i have 1 referral.

lol that happens to me which is bad as my pda is wm2003 and so loses everything if it runs flat

its also really annoying when you forget to charge up your mp3/4 , then your left with a long boring train to work lol

Hi,
I've just completed my chess program in java.
Its at http://www.colin-java.co.uk/JChess/index.htm

I'm looking for a new project now, something to take my time up.
Any good ideas. :?:

draughts? lol welcome to daniweb mate! nice game by the way

i live in the uk and a member of my family was recently sent out to basra in iraq and he may have to go to afganistan and believe me, were losing the war

im not sure if anyone truely knows if we are or not, there a so few official press releases, and besides we are fighting a losing battle, our soldiers have rules / code of conduct or whatever you like to call it, guys like the taliban dont give a monkeys about any of that, its a similar story with the i.r.a, although i know on a completly different level

there is an investigation under way to determine who (if anyone) is responsible for the accident.
If anything the insurance companies will want someone to sue (yes, the UK is becoming ever more like the US).

To me though it looks like just a regrettable accident such as they are bound to happen when you're dealing with experimental and powerful machines.
The people using those machines know the risks and accept them, Hammond certainly is no different. He knew that an accident could kill him, he accepted that.
At those speeds a tiny fabrication flaw in a tyre that's too small to detect during QA can cause a blowout and a crash will inevitably result for example.

If people never had taken risks we'd still be living in the trees cowering from the predators roaming below.
In fact we're fast reverting to that state, just look at the space program.

We are now incapable of reaching the moon for heaven's sake, not because we don't know how to but because we're too scared to risk the journey as someone might get hurt in the process.

thats very true, i mean look at the current war in iraq, yes its sad so many solidiers have lost their lives, but the amount who lost theirs in ww1 or ww2 doesnt neven come close, yet its a front page every time. (i dont mean to sound heartless btw)

the car he was using was from a …

That's eBay, people are always paying silly prices there.
Remember that many people are addicted to shopping and they get a sense of achievement from "winning" an auction.
They often don't know the retail price of what they're buying, sometimes don't even know what they're buying, and/or get swept away in the competition to "win" and loose track of the value of what they're bidding on.
Auction houses survive because of that, if people were always sensible in their bids most auctions wouldn't sell anything because the buyers would deal directly with the sellers rather than compete with each other.

they're all crazy, especially as i got one yesterday from a proper phone store for little over 10% of what they paid for a used one :lol:

you get an angry miss dani lol

i put in an mac powerbook

Yeah, what he said. That's the reason I had to reformat my ******* computer; a friend of mine got a virus on my computer from AIM that way.

The guy who it came from said : "DONT CLICK THE LINK!!!"
My friend said : "It's too late!"
Guy : "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

yer thought so, yet my friend hadnt been online, so it must be able to sign-in and send it self by its self

you get jazzy apples

i put in my old phone

i got a budget novatech barebones pc (basicalyl maeans cpu, mobo, case, psu all rigged up and with that a £60ish xp oem version cd then baught the hdd, graphics card and dvd off of dabs and put them in myself

not bad, how much was the bare bones if you dont mind me asking

darren :cool:

In mitigation, I thought I had plugged it in, but did not think to check. Knowing too much can be as big a problem in the twit stakes as knowing too little, as it becomes ever easier to overlook the simple explanations.

ah i've done that many a time, almost a ritual now :lol: even worse when you get up for work and you relise that your phones flat as you forgot to plug the charger in! lol

the transporter

you get a pokemon plushie thing

i put in a fruit smoothy

exactly, i brought one brand new earlier from carphone warehouse for £140, heaven knows what those guys were on lol like ten times the value, but the first or second bid was £600? mad

yeah he was on the BBC waving and going into a helicopter not so long ago ppl are saying there rumours the bbc was negligent and that hammmond shouldnt of been driving but he ahd already done 3 laps in the thing and was an experienced driver so i dont see how

i know the bbc is or will be put under investgation though

I had come to this thread to post my postion and what do I see.

Curse you hijackers (To Wolfie and Mr. DMR)

Hope Mr. Happygeek comes down on you with his stick which he is at present bringing down on blog spammers (its really a big one from what i have heard :P )

lol, i was 55th last time i checked! well happy with that! :cheesy:

Well, I did installed a new hard drive and try to install windows earlier and half of the way when it copied the files it just stops. Then I had to remove the memory and put back again to continue the installation. So I am not really thinking that it is the hard drive because the same freezing up problem during the install occurred until I remove the RAM and put it back in. That is why I think it is not the hard drive. Thank you for concern again. I also plug the laptop in to a different monitor and same thing happened after a while. So it is not the hard drive, it is not the monitor and it is not the processor because when I run scan disk processor is working 100% and should freez up at that time and it never did. :rolleyes: So :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: right now I am going to get a memory and see what the problem is.
The question that needs to be answered is what makes removing the memory and put it back in does not make the screen goes blank while I am in the windows? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

you say you put laptop onto a different monitor, are you using an external monitor with this laptop? if so try it on the laptops screen rather than an external one, this tends to put an awful lot of strain on the laptop otherwise, i …

tired lol

hello

When i installed the blue soleil 2.3 ver for my usb dongle it was working
fine till i restarted the system, after i restarted my comp freeze and no display no beeps nothing, i disconnected it for 10 mins then it started again, this is the same thing happening when ever i use that software
when i dont use blue soleil 2.3 the system is working fine.

3000 Mhz cpu
Intel 915G Mother board
512 RAM
80GB Sata HDD

any suggestion dude :rolleyes:

ah, i have the same software, is that for a class 1 bluetooth dongle by any chance?, firstly uninstall it, then do any windows updates, restart and try again, if that doesnt help look on the net for a newer version, otherwise i dont mind emailing you the one i have.

darren :cool:

I like it. I find the spell checking software useful on other forums. Of course it still needs some work.

you can get an add-on for ie7 (maybe ie6 as well) called i-spell, it'll add spell checking abilitys to your web browser.

darren :cool:

Cedar Point is one of the reasons I love living in Ohio. We take a field trip there for school every year and I go there several times during the summer. Its fun stuff. I highly suggest it to anyone interrested.

sounds good, i've never been, nor to the states either, so its another reason to book up a trip to the u.s, i'll prob wait till i've passed my driving test though, then hopefully i could hire a car out there! :cheesy:

darren :cool:

hi all,

this amazed me, how much people were willing to pay for a phone you can buy new for £120!

what do you guys think - scam or just some odd-balls willing to pay way over the odds?

darren :cool:

thanks, here they are...

nice! looks like my card reader has packed up, and unfortunatly the other pics are on my cf microdrive so.

darren :cool:

i use firefox 1 and i probably won't get firefox 2 as it is basiclly the same as firefox 1. i think that firefox 2 is just for publicity

without a dought, although a professional journalist also said this;

Quoted by happygeek:
Yes, the memory usage has improved a lot and it's now quicker to load and render pages than before.

When I put it through the default set of tests for standards compliance, memory usage and JavaScript performance, FF2RC1 beat MSIE7RC1 hands down on all counts (this for a PC Pro news analysis piece.)
darren :cool:

dont know, a friend showed me it on his pocketpc

ah no worries mate, prob be able to find it on avantgo then

darren :cool:

they don't need a special license at all. In fact there have been race drivers (at least in F3 and I think Nascar, not AFAIK in F1) who didn't have a driver's license.
All you need is an endorsement from a team (else you won't have a car) and a FIA race license (which is mostly about knowing the rules).

And driving a car like the one Hammond was in is easier than an F1 car. Not much need for steering, braking, etc.
It's flat out straight ahead until you hit a predetermined point at which time you hit the brakes to get it to stop before the end of the track. No corners, no other traffic, no pitstops or traffic rules.
Of course it takes some training to keep it straight, and he without doubt had that.
But suffering catastrophic mechanical problems can't be fully trained for, and at 300mph+ even a tiny unballance can be catastrophic.

Anyway, he was driving on private property. On private property the only one who says what goes and what doesn't is the owner.
I'll oppose ANY plan by the government to tell me what I can do in my own home (or my own garden, racetrack, or as in this case airfield), as that's the establishment of a total police state.

good point well made!

I use IE6 at work and IE7 at home. Years ago I used Netscape, but the make a new version that I really hated and stopped using it.

i find ie7 so much easier to use than ie6, especially the tabbed browsing, by using ctrl + the number of the tab, you can easily flick to the one you want.

My father-in-law, bless, had a problem whcih I thought might be down to malware. However, he insisted that he had a security suite installed and scanned his computer every week.

I went round to take a look, and the first thing I wanted to do was a full security scan. At which point I discovered that the last set of definition/signature updates was a couple of years old. Apparently he didn't bother to re-subscribe after year one, thinking that he had the application and that was good enough.

Not funny, at all, but oh so common a mistake it seems...

im sure thats no just the older generation, i have step-parents and cousins who think on the same level, the same people who would pull out the power cables to their pc at night in fear of getting a `virus`

darren :cool:

Actually i have already taken a look at those things and trust me they lack some or the other features.

The sites which i have recommended have support for both MySQL database and PHP files. And what more you can convert the space you own into a blog just with the press of a single button.

Hope it helped, bye.

ah, i have used dot.tk many a time but that was a couple of years ago (back when you had to look like your average geek to be one :lol: ) the other two i googled.

darren :cool:

Am really happy someone actually understands my thoughts and is a good candidate of being a global citizen.

Otherwise nowadays ideas like these are considered demented by the younger generation ( its not that i am graying, just 21 here )

Wish everyone just thought out of the box and leave the MY WORLD and MY THINGS idealogy, then the world really would have been a better place.

Thanks for the feedback.

:cheesy: im just waiting for the day when someone starts a computer orintated religion (proberly one out there already :lol: )

darren :cool:

Well we can offset that pain a little by trying to sort a date out amongst us folk who have said yay nice and early.

So let's get the ball rolling with:

Weekday or weekend?
Lunchtime or after 5pm?

Makes no difference to me, to be honest. Which isn't exactly helpful and decisive, but is at least honest.

i can do either, weekday - lunchtime, but both on a weekend, depends where we go as well.

darren :cool:

I don't have any grandparents that are still alive, am much too old for that. However, my mother is in her late seventies and not very technically minded. She takes an interest though, mainly because she is proud of her son for writing books about it. Shame she didn'r read any of them though, then she may not have had to ask 'do I need to turn the computer on to receive email?'

LMAO!!!! :lol: i think the matrix could and should be added to this list as well.

darren :cool:

Yes, the memory usage has improved a lot and it's now quicker to load and render pages than before.

When I put it through the default set of tests for standards compliance, memory usage and JavaScript performance, FF2RC1 beat MSIE7RC1 hands down on all counts (this for a PC Pro news analysis piece.)

ah thought as much, thanks happygeek!

darren :cool:

have they made any hard to see improvements though? such as faster page loading, better security, and security flaws patched etc

darren :cool:

exactly i used an encryption program i found on the net which makes your text only readable aloud by humans so that spyware e.g cant search through your documents. I just wanted to know your opinions on that piece of software.

also, if you liked that take a look at the othe poems in the "taking off emily dickensons clothes" anthology

sounds good,whats the program if you dont mind me asking?
