True. My salts do vary. In my example I see I just used the variable $salt throughout the entire thing. That would imply that I use the same one everywhere, but that isn't the case. (I was lazier than even I realized writing that example code) Generally for the password hash I use username...

I'm coding defensively against the exploits in my code that are sure to exist without my knowledge as well as any unknown vulnerabilities. A system like that is simple enough to implement and doesn't slow the login process enough to matter (you'll only notice if you're reading time in...

I think he means something like this: User A registers. User A gets default avatar. User A uploads new avatar. User A displays new avatar. User B registers. User B gets default avatar. User B displays default avatar. Maybe? Anyway, you can do a check to see if the custom avatar...

Yes it would. The way I usually do my session variables is something likes this. On login: $validation_string = hash('sha512', $username . $salt . $password_hash); $validation_string = $validation_string . 'x32' . tostring(strlen($validation_string . $salt) * intval($user_id))...

Another option is to use .co.cc domains. I just tested my site (http://segfult.co.cc) and I was able to post it on FB with no trouble.

C++ IMO. It's an old language that has mountains of documentation, as well as having good Object Oriented Programming support. Besides that, many languages borrow heavily from C/C++ (such as Java. Java and C/C++ have very similar syntax), which makes it easier to learn new languages.

Just bought Supreme Commander Gold a couple of days ago. That game is more than worthy of the money I spent on it. (which was only 6USD, but still!)

Same problem here. It's probably server load, because I can't get on cPanel to manually edit my files either.

Alright, thanks for the help!

I have an ad-free limited hosting account and I haven't been able to use mod_rewritten URLs for several weeks now. Has it been disabled?

I have a subdomain registered (http://evil.atlanis.pcriot.com) and all links that use mod_rewrite no longer work and have not worked for almost a week. I have not changed my .htaccess file since the 6th of April this year. Using rewriteable URLs is one of the primary reasons I chose to use x10...

It's an annoying but necessary requirement for such superb hosting as x10. It keeps the number of inactive sites down to a minimum.

You need to remove ShadowBane from the list. It shut down last July (2009). There is an EMU project going on, but it isn't ready yet.

The point of it is to allow people to use all of their signature images. It randomly picks one image from a list and displays it. A lot of people would have no use for it, but I know several that have multiple sigs that they want to use, but have to pick one. This gets around that by letting...
