I was thinking slightly along those lines, but on the other hand, if a user does something bad to their data by accident/stupidity, it is, in the end, their fault. They should be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. You can be just as malicious to the user's data through this method as...

The terms of service don't state that there's anything wrong with running shell scripts: they only have to be related to your site (and this one would be assuming you need to execute a program from php as part of your site, e.g for backup from php etc.). And more importantly, shell scripts...

As we all know, the php function exec() isn't allowed on X10Hosting. However since shell scripts are allowed, it isn't particularly hard to get around this. Is this meant to be the case, since it's rather inconvenient to use a roundabout method to get the same result. Just so that you know...

Good luck to the US Government trying to convince other governments to follow with the plan... Shame the US just isn't the Global Power it used to be. In most (normal) countries ID cards work / are widespread. It is true that in the USA and the UK you get some rather silly people opposing id...

For python scripts that are outputting content you will also need to add: print "Content-type: text/plain\n" as the second line, otherwise the script won't send you anything, and you get an error 404. (Sorry for second post, but it isn't possible to edit the first one.)

You can execute files on other servers using wget, assuming the other server is set up to execute the file AND the file is accessible via the web. What wget does is it requests the file, and requesting a php file usually causes the web server to run the file. (I.e. wget is like a browser except...

It would be quite nice to add a cron testing facility, to test what the output of a particular cron script may be, i.e. where you type in the command, press a button, and the command is run directly (and ideally the output is shown on screen, not sent by email). This would be quite useful, since...

Yet another thing where Vista gets beaten to bits: (Unfortunately my main pc, i.e. my laptop, is a bit too old for this stuff, so I can only use this on the desktop pc.)

It doesn't matter what is communicating, it matters from where it is communicating. If it isn't running on the server it won't be able to connect to the database, since only internal connections are allowed. If it is a java applet, then you won't be able to communicate with the X10 db since...

It took ages for me to get dvds to work (that was under debian), and since that laptop I haven't actually bothered. (My current laptop has no drive.) Part of the problem might be your missing libdvdcss (the library decrypting the dvds) which I think Fedora doesn't include (wouldn't wonder me, a...

I assume you're using the Java program on your own pc (From what I have read there's no Java on X10, at least it isn't listed here)? If so, you can't connect to the X10 MySQL, since remote MySQL access isn't available on free hosting.

You do know you can access encrypted dvds under Linux? From what I hear the libraries doing it are possibly illegal to use in America because of the whole DMCA joke (Yes, that is correct, in America it is possibly illegal to use unapproved software to play back copyrighted content YOU own), but...

You hit the nail on the head. Most computer viruses and other security problems are caused through social engineering, changing it from a computer/software to user problem, i.e. the problem is sitting in front of the screeen. Those who don't know how to use a computer properly are those getting...

I know a few systems that are mainly booted with windows, but still use Grub as the bootloader. The problem is when you install windows, since it just ignores what bootloader you currently have during installation. After that it should be fine. And I only need 1 OS at all (GNU/Linux) so I don't...

You can only use shared ssl with https://server.x10hosting.com/~username (Replace server with your servername, and username with your cpanel username.) Strangely enough, this doesn't work for starka, but seems to work for other servers.

I can mostly understand Slovakian (when spoken) as well because of my Polish. Croatian is a bit more complicated for me though, and I only understand bits of it.

Everything is working fine for me (i.e. the site works fine), it could have been a temporary outage of the databases.

Sorry, it seems with Swing things are more fiddly: It seems you have to use something called SwingWorker, a good tutorial is: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/progress.html#bars (The java tutorials are a really good resource, try looking there for ideas when your...

Yes. You should probably use a thread to do the file searching, which has access to the JProgresBar. Look at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/runthread.html (I would reccomend the first method used, since that means you can add the thread code within the same class...

The Facebook architecture just isn't up to the user numbers it gets now: the FB chat function hardly works, and sometimes the whole site just goes slow. Also, a reason that FB isn't as popular outwith english speaking countries is because its translations are pretty poor: The German and Polish...
