    Extremely SLOW phpMyAdmin

    I just installed phpmyadmin on my own webspace, and it does login faster, but seems to be having problems connecting to the db. (Or rather, getting data from the db.) Edit: It seems MySQL is being slow...

    OS choiches

    Ok, Microsoft might have had a *Nix, but Windows wasn't developed on that basis, rather, windows was developed from DOS, which was based on 86-DOS. The Xenix system was completely separate to Windows. And for those who want to have a fast efficient computer without having to spend lots of money...

    OS choiches

    Windows and *Nix? I don't know where you read that, but the Wikipedia article mentions *Nix twice, and that in relation to how different the architectures are (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows#cite_ref-21) as well as emulation. Windows was actually started as a competitor to Mac, in the days...

    Space travel is a dream…no..myth! Impossible!

    The LHC has very little to do with space travel, but rather with the search for the Higg's Boson and other physics problems. The influence any discoveries would have on space travel is probably minimal.

    OS choiches

    The problem with windows isn't that the updates take a long time (they do), but that it needs to restart after an update. The last time I restarted my GNU/Linux laptop was... errm... I can't actually remember, so long ago I did that. Oh, just so that you all know, modern macs run on an OS based...

    Space travel is a dream…no..myth! Impossible!

    Someone sees the light... Many things seemingly impossible can happen. 200 years ago hardly anyone would have believed that flight is possible... However not everything is possible. I give you the challenge of entering a black hole and coming out again. That is physically impossible (and proven...

    Do you speak another language/tongue?

    Well I can speak and write (properly that is) English, Polish and German. I'm also learning French, but I'm not that good at it (I could hold a conversation, but not that easily). BTW, French is hard to learn if you are a native English speaker, since it, like many other languages has the idea...

    Tips to Cleanup Your Harddisk

    Not using windows is also a good tip, it uses much more hd space than is required. Compare Vista with 1 dvd(?) or multiple cds which gives you not much more than an os with Ubuntu where 1 cd gives you a fully functional system with office software etc. And Ubuntu also uses a filesystem not...

    Shell access

    If it creates html files, then you could run the script on your computer, and write a script which then uploads the files automatically for you.

    Advice needed about rubbishy internet

    0.4mbps? You're lucky, my Internet was sometimes at 0.3mbps with BT... (During the summer it was consistently at to 3mbps, in the winter it varied.) The problem with dsl connections in the UK is the telephone line quality is usually rubbish, meaning low speed. I would recommend Virgin since...

    Use .htaccess to redirect everyone except you

    If you are currently working on a site, say at a subdomain sub.example.com, and would like to have all traffic going there redirected to example.com/page.html, but you still want to be able to access sub.example.com, you can use these htaccess commands: # Where you want to redirect to...

    php if argument

    I was doing some more research and discovered: http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/t-25029.html The gist of this is you could have extra escape characters in your string, e.g. a new line etc, since the string you are checking is coming from somewhere external, i.e. an Array. Try...

    php if argument

    The difference using strcomp() is that it is binary safe. (Whatever that means...) I'm just used to using methods to compare strings, since that's the only way in C and Java. The other thing I'm thinking is that the input variable isn't capitalised, i.e. you are comparing "m" to "M", which are...

    php if argument

    The double == is the comparison operator for php, = assignment (as already said), so leave that as it is. (Single = definetely won't work). The problem is you shouldn't compare strings directly using $StringA == $StringB, rather you use a function for this: if (strcomp($StringA, $StringB) == 0)...

    Anyone here have a home server?

    My current wireless router has NAT and all those features. I would prefer to replace the router with a server taking over the router functions as well though: security isn't too much of a concern, since nothing would be served to the outside world, so I only need to set iptables up to block...

    Making a little C-L OS?

    If you've only ever used VB.net then you definitely need to practice with C before trying to write a kernel. C is quite different from VB.net, notably being a procedural language whereas VB is object orientated, so programs in general are structured quite differently. In C you also have to learn...

    Need Help!!

    There are several Window$ password cracking programs available which let you retrieve / set a password from a bootable disk. E.g. http://www.openwall.com/john/ Edit: The easiest option is probably http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/

    Making a little C-L OS?

    Maybe look at the Linux source code. At best that from the early days where there wasn't as much of it. But if I remember correctly even the Linux kernel has some ASM in it. Getting the kernel into memory and starting it is probably the hardest part, so you might want to look at how kernels...
