    In Your Opinion- The Best Social Network?

    I'm a facebooker personally. The layout is clean, simple and with the new look it's impossible for someones profile to bring your browser to a halt with tons of videos and gifs etc. I used to use MySpace. It's strongest asset is also it's biggest liability and that's the sheer amount you can...

    java help with codes (please)..

    In the nicest possible way, do your own damn homework. And next time you have some Real Java code that doesn't compile, tell us the compile error since we don't want to have to read your whole script when it's probably just a semicolon that anyone who can read debug messages will know in a...

    Desktops vs Laptops: Which do you prefer?

    I prefer a desktop in nearly every context except travelling. Even then the only real place to use a laptop is on the train, with a plug and table. A desktop can pack much more powerful hardware, they're easier to repair/mod/upgrade and they can take a lot more usage than a laptop. Also, I've...

    How can I turn off my site temporarily ?

    I have a sneaky feeling that's not what is being gone for. Have you tried to get on a broswer game whilst it's been down for maintenance? Torn City and Kingdom of Loathing both do it - the whole site shuts down for about 30 minutes a night to do all the server processes. Anyone trying to play...

    Tips to secure home wireless connection

    What about MAC Filtering? Running encrpypted wireless can mean a 30% slowdown, so if you're not transmitting secure data (i.e. you're at home and not work) is it worth mac filtering rather than encryption to make the most of this extra 30%?

    How can I turn off my site temporarily ?

    If you're going to run with that idea, you don't even need it to be just true/false. If you used numbers you could set explanation pages. E.g. 0 = all fine, page loads as expected 1 = Scheduled maintenance 2 = Unscheduled maintenance 3 = In development / Under construction etc. etc. You could...

    Monitoring Server Usage

    So my site is coming along nicely but I've got a little niggle in the back of my mind. Let's say my site became popular. At the index page for each user an SQL query is run that essentially inner joins the entire database to show them the information they need. I can imagine that on a popular...

    How can I turn off my site temporarily ?

    It's more of a hack than a fix, but assuming you have an include(header.php) or similar throughout your site, you could add in a line to the header that reads an entry in the database (SELECT active FROM website) and if(active == false) //show Site Closed It's just a thought until someone...

    Javascript form to PHP

    Will it pass verification if you use <script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>

    Review my webpage

    A simple "Skip Intro" link will do nicely. Of course, if it's so unnessecary you have to ask the user if they even want to watch, why is it even there? Too much space given to the header. It could easily stop at the bottom of the logo but goes on a fair bit longer. (C) 2007? We've nearly...

    Pls review my forum site

    Dark red on dark grey? Even I had to squint to read that. Even then it was gibberish. So I get to your forum and the first thing I do is squint to read gibberish. A terrible first impression. It looks like some kind of black metal band site. All the red and black with the font to match. It even...

    Review my site

    Layout (FF3): Make the logo bg match the cell it's in. It's very clear where the logo stops. Administrator button is a big no-no. The search box is right against the planet image. It looks like you've just popped it into the template. Add some padding or at least a <br /> There's some weird...
