  2. Interesting read, indeed. I don't agree with most of what he says, though but it's interesting nonetheless. Fortunately for the world, Firefox isn't Windows and it sure isn't made by Microsoft - meaning the Mozilla foundation is not trying to solve the problem of people being lazy and/or stupid to the point of not wanting to learn how to use something. Firefox already does that. I'm not shocked about this, I have two friends who used to do that - until they started to note a stricking resemblance between the stuff they were writing in the search box, and the stuff that appeared on that strange text box at the top of the browser window, after they clicked the search result link. IMHO, if people are stupid or don't have inteligence enough to use a computer, then they shouldn't even be allowed to use it, just like it happens with driving licenses. I know that if you put someone who doesn't know how to drive in the driver's seat, you're playing with human lives but giving a computer to someone who doesn't know how to use it is also dangerous - think viruses, for example. Seriously, if someone doesn't know what a search engine is these days, then that person was probably born onthe 19th century I don't have time to read the comments but in the end, I kind of agree with the guy when he says an unfinished product may leave a bad impression on someone who tries it and that person may never come back. But then again, he's assuming that Firefox is going to be developed into a gigantic monolithic browser that does everything for the user, like Internet Explorer. I totaly disagree with that. Software shouldn't do everything for the user. It shouldn't be made so simple to the point that my grandmother can use it. The user has to do something, too. Especially learn how to read help files and look for information about what he wants to do, instead of simply calling his/her friend and ask them to solve the problem. I mean, for example, the address bar is a friggin' text box, TONS and TONS of programs use text boxes to get input from the user and don't have any button that has to be pressed to achieve that. It's what I call a standard behavior. Is it really that hard to grasp such a simple concept? Conclusion: firefox is a good browser for people, not for lazy people, or brainless people. By the way, I don't mean to offend anyone, so excuse my words if you feel they are aggressive but that's just what I think.

  7. LOL Sorry, looks like I forgot it. Thanks, Thomas Edit: I think I should get some more sleep (forgot the link again ) http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/09/04/0157204
  8. Here's an interesting article about MS's marketing schemes. For me, the funny part is that I have been thinking about what this guy describes, for some time. The feeling I get from Microsoft everytime I hear them talk about their new version of Windows (and some other products too) is that thy're trying to make everyone look at their future products and forget about what already exists today. Another good example of the company's non-examplary way of doing business :\ http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/09/04/0157204
  9. Moving to a more appropriate forum for organization.

  11. OH, you're hosted by another company?? Well mister, then that will be $10.00, please. Just kidding, of course but if you're so unhappy with your hosting company, why don't you give TCH a try? You can try it for 30 days without a problem, if you don't like the service, you'll get your money back
  12. 7 meet me in heaven (does this game have any secret purpose? )
  13. I gave up on both phpNuke and postNuke a long time ago. Both systems are far too complicated and limited for what I usually want - meaning I can't really help you with any of them, since I hardly know them, now. Don's idea is pretty good, too! And it probably has some advantages, as you'd gain two tools in place of one, if you're interested
  14. 5 bees in a hive (is this supposed to rhime or can we write whatever we want? I think it's funnier if we have to make it rhime )
  15. Doesn't the good old "Print Screen" key work? It should grab the whole screen and put it in the clipboard. Then you just need to open your favorite photo editor and paste it into a new image. Or, if I recall correctly, if you want to grab just the active window, you can press ALT+PrintScreen and it will only capture the active window. If that's not it, then CTRL+PrintScreen will do the trick

  17. Beth, sorry, I don't know of any script that does what you want. Well, I do know but they're all complex :\ Here's a couple of topics from our forums you might want to read: Content Management Systems, opinions on any & using nuke in cpanel A Good Content Management System?, or a php portal... Anyway, I'm moving this into a more appropriate forum, where you'll get more exposure.
  18. Quite simple. Just change the line <DIV><A href="http://www.deliahfair.com/newsite/liveetc_htm.htm" title="Contact Me" onfocus="this.blur()" target="_top"><center>Contact Me</center></A></DIV> into <div><a href="mailto:email.address@you.wantb" title="Contact Me" onfocus="this.blur()" target="_top"><center>Contact Me</center></a></div> Notice I changed the tags to lowercase, for standards compliance. That was the geek side of me speaking But I agree with Bruce, you should use a contact form instead of a live e-mail address on your site, or your inbox will be flooded with spam in no time!

  22. Yes, your script will be able to access all those fields but I'm not sure in what form. The e-mail will be passed in it's "original" form (all the headers and stuff and the e-mail body included), so you'll probably have to parse that yourself but I'm sure you'll be able to find something about that on Google
