i doubt it will happen, Adobe Photoshop costs more than the whole Studio MX 2004, but maybe for loyal customers like myself i might get a deal, who knows
/me wares his hands out by praying to the software gods

Can you imagin, that FireWorks and FreeHand will possibly be replaced by PhotoShop and illustrator, that would be fsking awesome to have thoes thrown in with DreamWeaver and Flash. If it did happen i would die happy ahh sweet sweet dreams

the only thing that i can think of is that they are listed as a "power user", it needs to be turned all the way down to guest account.
what i was saying in my last post, is that you can keep going through the install because the required dll files and registry settings are still present, thus allowing an installation of msn 7. If they are at guest account level, and they can still install msn7, id recomend downloading a registry cleaner, as well as a dll tool to remove un-used dlls.

yes the great thing about windows, once you have the registry entries, dll etc etc, its easy as pie to install software that requires all that extra permissions.
solution? uninstall windows msn messenger (why well because windows and microsoft want you to use it, and they want you to communicate to your friends).
then install another im application,
Trillian http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/
gaim http://gaim.sourceforge.net
miranda http://www.miranda-im.org/
though even trillian once installed can be installed on other accounts...
however gaim, miranda dont use registry's and dont use dll's so your good to go
alternativly you could just lock the whole computer down, but thats nasty and you dont want to do that, every time you want to go to something your asked for a password etc
if you want to know some of thoes programs let me know

Also heres the biggest bestest killer app for an iPod, a set of stage headphones (yeah the company has had an increase of sales of 500% since ipods starting being made)
http://www.shure.com/earphones/eseries_e5c.asp
anyhow they are $499(rivals the cost of an ipod), but more relistically here are the more consumer friendly ones
http://www.shure.com/earphones/eseries_e2c.asp
which are $99,
now your probably saying, WTF, is this pierce guy like made from gold, or something?
well no, i dont even own an ipod, nor can i afford one
, but i did see these on an IT news site, what makes these so special is that they totaly block out the surroundings so that you only hear the music. If your a person who encodes music as WMA at 64kbps these aint for you, but if you encode your music as mp3 or any other apple ipod compatable sound @ 168kbps or greater then these are definatly a looker.Pierce

ahh they beauty of linux/unix, im on a windows 2k3 server, Athlon XP 3000+, 512mb of ram, and 180Gbish of storage
divxing a live video stream (a live anologus singnal to a DIVX format), i can just barely get 30FPS, (which is what TV runs at here(well 29.9fps), not the 25fps you NTSC people run at), and its bumpy and skippy, i have to put it down to about 25 or so fps to get it smooth and then i cant use this pc at the same time..

certainly an interesting idea, i google for on-the-fly spell checking and came up with this
http://www.alcodasoftware.com/spell-magic.htm its $24.95
which was one of the first, but you can do the reasearch as im proud of my miss-spelling
http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&q=on+the...le+Search&meta=
thats the link (and yes i use the google.ie, not the .com one hehe)

or even better, say "please hold" put the phone down and go back to it when you remember or in 30 minutes and say "your call is very important to me, you are caller 1 in a line of 1, i am currenly playing my ps2, please hold"

You can do really neat tricks with linux cli (command line interface for you newbies) called shell scripting, if you have been in #besttechie im sure you would of heard that crrj's dad is publishing a light reading book (500 odd pages i think) on how to script commands.
So, if you wanted to automate the process of getting email to your local server before you even see the main screen it should be simple enough task, try doing that with windows....
Some basic linux commands for your command line interface,
cd : change directory (same as dos)
ls : list directory (dos dir)
ps ux : list all processes of your logged in user
su - : change to root
passwd : change password
bash/csh/tsh.. : change shell
vi / pico : text editors
kill : kill a pidnumber from ps ux
kill -9 : force kill a process pid number
top : a bit like windows task manager

you can also go to
Start -> settings -> control panel -> Sound & Audio devices,
From that panel click
HardWare,
Scroll down to Audio Codecs or Video Codecs
Click Properties
Then from thoes tabs
Click properties and you should be able to see all the codecs your system has.
Damn why does windows burry everything under 1001 clicks?

Unable to connect : java.net.NoRouteToHostException : Operation timed out,
the problem exists between resolving whatever.wyldryde.org to an ip address, which gives you that error, SVCHOST usualy takes care of DNS functions (i figured that out by watching my fireall as i did numberous /dns something.com's)
try doing this the next time your on, when you get that error type in
/server 72.20.28.246
that will connect you to wyldryde,
then do
/join #besttechie to join this forums chat room,
ill put this on e-mail alert so if it doesnt work and im online ill have your updated reply within 10 minutes or so.

I am in my spare time a professional web designer. And yes the first thing i do when i need to make a site is break out the pen and paper. The main reason is that ive found i always have this wonderful idea in my head, when I sit down at dreamweaver its like, wtf do i do now? Other people usualy like to draw out the layout in some sort of picture editor and then convert it into a web page.
The reason for drawing it out on paper is simple, it gives you an idea of how to tackle the code/tools to make that page. Also if you end up at the "what am i doing moment" its a nice way to reference back to paper. Your site may not be complex or overly dramatic and simple text, but even the correct layout of text is vital if your going to convey what your trying to show people.
Some people have the ability to sit down and do a layout from scratch, some dont. But remember the 6 P's, Proper Preparation Prevents Pissy Poor Performance. If you wanted to upgrade your site at a later date can the current design handle the future or does it need to start from scratch, what are the bandwidth loads this design will place on my hosting, how long will it take to render. These questions may not apply to you, but the future is always untold.

the char is a wierd number, that makes the system loop continuosly forever, as it doesnt make sence F*48 = ??
you could add checks, which you should do but for something like this its okay
its soo big because the compiler i believe is adding all the debug crap to the .exe, i think you can change the settings of the compiler and the file will be smaller but im not sure
Form On My Site

Posted
Okay, if you want to cheat, but unfortunatly you get a security message,
put the form action to "mailto:[email protected]"
but if you want to go down the cgi path then you need to do this

however, i would STRONGLY recomend php, as i just love php and its the easyest way of processing data methinks.

PS(if you want to check if your host can support php, make a file like test.php , and have one line inside it <? phpinfo(); ?>, if it does nothing then you dont have php then your stuck using cgi, if it gives you this huge blue and white page then your good to go)
