Well, I bought an Akasa AK821q (Google search about this cooler). It's made for AMD Athlon XP 2800+ and above (I have a 1600+, so I'm way above what I need), copper base, alluminium heatsink, max fan spped of 4600 RPM (from what I've seen, it stays around 4440 RPM), fan air flow of 23 CFM, noise level of 32 dB(A). All this for the low price of 15.90 Euros (around 19 USD). I'm quite happy with it so far, it's keeping the CPU at a constant 25.5 Celcius (78 Fahrenheit) and I can barely hear it. A friend of mine has been using this brand during the last year and he says he's been quite satisfied. I ended up buying this unknown brand because the local computer stores didn't have anything from CoolerMaster, Thermalright or any other known brands with a price tag below 50 Euros (around 60 USD), and since I don't need something that good, I decided to save some money Thanks for the advice, everyone

Moving to a more appropriate forum (the title even says "Looking for" ).

Jay, you're probably using the wrong database name, not the wrong user/pass. The database name is in the form <cpanel username>_<database name>. So if you created your database as "dbgpx" and your cpanel username is a_a, the database name you'll need to use when connecting to it from PHP is "a_a_dbgpx". Try it and let us know if it works

First of all, welcome to the family forums, Jay! Second, I'm moving this to a more appropriate forum. Now, about your question... (By the way, Ali, I believe Jay meant "configure", not "installing" but yes, PHP is already installed on every server ) I'm using smarty on many of my own sites and never had any problems. Besides, those errors you're getting have nothing to do with Smarty, they're session related. Actually, those are not "errors", that's one single warning, which is causing the other three. Basically, there's an error in your session code, which is causing PHP to output that first warning and after that, it cannot send any HTTP headers, because HTTP headers need to be sent *before* any other output, so PHP spits out those three other warnings. If you get rid of the first warning (the session warning), you'll get rid of the other three - assuming there's nothing else wrong with your code after the session stuff. You have to keep in mind that the configuration of your machine and TCH's servers can be very different. You should take a look at the output of the phpinfo() function both on your local machine and the TCH server and compare them. Lastly, it would be easier for someone to help you if you could show us the piece of the code that's causing the warning. I'd say you're not calling session_start() before calling session_destroy() (typicall error, which would result in the output you're getting) but I can't be sure without looking at the code.

Yes, I know what you meant, Mike But although I know there are many folks who associate "security" with "opensource" and I think that's wrong, I'm kind of biased towards that kind of thinking myself and I know I shouldn't Thomas, thanks for the link! I guess we have that question answered, now

Sarah, there are two things you'll have to wait for, in order to access your new account: 1 - TCH account being set up (fast); 2 - propagation of DNS changes (slower); You can access your account right after the it's set up. You'll receive instructions by e-mail when it happens. But if you want to access your account via your domain name, you'll have to wait until the DNS changes propagate throughout the DNS servers around the world. There's no way to know when this happens unless to constantly check if you can access your site by typing the domain in your browser.

Thanks, Mike. I don't think that having "many eyes" looking at the code does something all by itself but I do think it's a better way to create software. I'll try to get that book (if it's not too expensive, since my finances are a bit low, lately ) and perhaps it will change my mind Edit: Well, it's not a book, it's an online publication! Thanks a lot, Mike!

Although I find this vulnerability a little farfetched (but coming from Secunia, it doesn't surprise me that much, anymore...), here it is, so you guys know about it. The proof of concept wouldn't fool me, since my Mozilla browsers are set not to allow the status bar, menu bar, buttons bar and a bunch of stuff more to be hidden via JavaScript but in a default Firefox instalation, I think it would. The Slashdot article: http://it.slashdot.org/it/04/07/31/0037210.shtml?tid=154&tid=128&tid=172 The advisory: http://secunia.com/advisories/12188/ The proof of concept: http://www.nd.edu/~jsmith30/xul/test/spoof.html

Thanks for the tips, Mike, I'm heading for those sites now. I already knew Coolermaster and heard of Thermalright but not the others. What about Thermaltake? They were the first ones I ever heard of. Are their products any good? I think they're a bit too expensive but I may be wrong, as I never bought any of their products.

The fan I bought along with my computer just died, so I need to get a new one. The problem is that with all this case modding vogue of lately, I don't know anymore what's a good cooler and what's just a nice-looking cooler. So... does anyone have a suggestion for a good cooler+fan I can buy? I want it to be good but I don't need it to be stupidly powerfull nor pretty. I'm not into case modding and all that stuff, so I want it as simple as possible but to last as long as possible and also to have the lowest price tag as possible. In order of importance (from most important to least important): Good Quality Lifetime Low Price Silent Any suggestions? Thanks

Exactly By the way, I forgot to mention this in my previous post: I believe "Bliss" isn't the only Linux virus around but can anyone confirm this?

Here's an interesting article from newsforge.com: http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/07/30/052254 Some quotes: and another from Evans Data Corporation: Note the difference between "hacking" and "cracking", which is something, as the author says, that people confuse a lot. For those of you who are not used to these terms, "hacking" means to change something to better fit our needs, in this case, the software code is modified (hacked) to fit the author's needs. On the other hand, "cracking" means to gain unauthorized access to a system (and note that it can be any type of "system", not only a computer system), by means of exploiting a security hole, social engineering, reverse engineering or any other unauthorized means.

Well, I guess it's more an Operating Systems question, so I'll move it to that forum About your question, I'm not sure what kind of password protection you mean but NTFS does allow some protection schemes that FAT doesn't. What exactly are you trying to do? Edit: Oops, BoB was faster than me

I'm sure they'll get along just fine, Thomas. Just give Piggie some time to get used to Guess

Cute I'm sure Guess will be happy in his new home

Those are not good news... http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/07/30/belgium.gas.blast/index.html

LOL @ Bruce Well, I suppose we can count that, Bruce Thomas, if you do come to Portugal, do let me know

Then that's where it comes from!!! I'm talking about the whole extra disk space Windows seems to take up for no apparent reason, after a few months of being installed on a clean machine!

I was just wondering how many of us know other TCH family members in person. I sure would like to meet some of you guys but it's not very likely, since I live in Portugal and the majority of you are in the US, some in Sweden, etc. But anyway, tell us if you know a fellow TCH family member in person I'm especially curious about the mods and staff, since we all get along so well

Adobe Audition is the "new" Cool Edit? Cool I didn't know that, thanks, Ty

Mike, nice house!! Thumbs Up Which state are you moving to?

There's no need to double post your questions. Please, post only one message per question and in the appropriate forum. I'm moving the other thread into the appropriate forum and closing this one, because the other has more replies.

It's loading fine here, too. Firefox 0.9.1, Linux. What's the problem you're experiencing, distorted layout or something more serious, like server can't be reached?

Tracy, I don't think Audacity can open WMA or CDA files, so I guess you'll have to use another program to convert those. Unfortunately, I don't know which program to suggest, because I always use OGG files and I don't use Windows anymore. When I still used Windows, there used to be a darn good audio editing program, called Cool Edit. As for Adobe Audition, I don't know, I didn't even knew Adobe had a sound editing software package Now for the last question, I don't know the .CDS format but I'd recommend you use Winamp's Disk Writer plugin (it basically "plays" the music into a disk file instead of playing it through the speakers) to record the file you want as an MP3 and then load it into Audacity. That should work
