  • I don't know. It sounds like something you could use for a Q&A style site, but there's already a fair number of those, and it might clash with Tutorial Dash, which wouldn't be an overly great thing as although the DXN and PDN are different entit…
  • Ok, so it would have been better to say that some do it, but the fact remains that you shouldn't knock something unless it's done something to you. Yes, you can say that Windows crashes and lacks tools for power users, but I don't exactly remember L…
  • Yeah, I know. Goa often tries to make it look like it's it's own place rather than just another state in India, which is probably partly due to the fact that unlike the rest of India, they weren't always part of the British Empire, if I remember rig…
  • I once got roped into doing a design for a friend who lives in Puerto Rico, so technically, I was the oversea's guy. I must have done something right as I ended up with a years hosting on Powweb for nothing and he bought me a domain name for my birt…
  • So basically, CBG, you're saying you don't despise Windows, you haven't called Linux a 'poor man's OS X' and Mac users are nice and friendly towards people not using Apple computers? That's pretty much the oposite of everything I've ever known from…
  • I know Ubuntu isn't the only distro out there, and all it basically is is Debian with more updates and a few other shiny things installed (most of which can be obtained on their own), but out of all the distro's I've used, Ubuntu was the only one th…
  • There's work being done to make Windows apps run under Linux distro's such as Ubuntu in the form of WiNE and a few other projects like Cedga. WiNE can already run Photoshop 7.0, though Save For Web doesn't work on it and it might be like running Pho…
  • I live in Leeds, which is in North West England (West Yorkshire). It's a short drive from Manchester or York, but is regarded as one of the better cities in England and is rightly called the Capital of the North. They never stop building in Leeds, e…
  • I must warn you, I know how to use trains and we're not very far apart, so I will probably crash your nightime party and, if I can find them (because you know that technically, it's legal to chase Welsh people with crossbows in Chester at midnight :…
  • The URL was posted above. Also, it will not work now as Daniel has since moved hosting providers and probably didn't move it over to his Bluehost account. Of course, if you had chacked, you would have seen that this topic is almost a year old, mean…
  • It's more a case of it not being an issue when they started out with HTML 4.01 Transitional really. If they didn't need it in the old days and nobody can challenge their massive cut of the market without being bought out, they don't feel threatened …
  • This topic was created in January, which makes your post a necropost. It's usually not a good thing to necropost and if some resource from the topic is no longer accessable, please refrain from necroposting to let people know when chances are that t…
  • Well, if you look at how PageRank works, it basically counts each link from external sites (like WP linking to TD) and chacks the PR of the site linking to the site it's evaluating (in this case, it would check the PR of Webmaster Post while evaluat…
  • Usually, I sleep till about 10AM and then spend much of the weekend either gaming, coding or doing other various computer related tasks. It's 3 miles each way to my nearest computer shop, so I sometimes walk down to see what they have in (busses are…
  • Mod_rewrite is an Apache module which lets you basically point URL's at different places using regular expressions. Because mod_rewrite is an Apache module, you'd have to make sure your host has it installed (most do and this site is already using i…
  • Actually, that would depend on the buyer. If the buyers are aiming to buy up sites with high traffic and high revenue, they aren't going to pay a lot for a site that doesn't get as many users as it could. It's worth remembering that not everyone has…
  • To add to the line about SEO: Try to avoid long and cumbersome query string URL's such as site.com/index.php?act=add&id=35&n=3 or site.com/articles.php?art=123 as search engines can have problems with these, meaning they won't always index t…
  • It's hard to put an estimate on GENERIC SITE 101 since the price you can expect to sell a site for is based on the site itself. If you have a site that's getting good traffic, that will increase the selling price. If you've got a site with a desirab…
  • It wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't a shop owned by Dell, but someone franchising. The company my brotherinlaw used to work for, PCIdeas did this, which resulted in a small shop near me, which uses their name, but is absolutely horrible. Dell's not…
    in Dell Shop... Comment by Nuvo August 2006
  • (Quote) Dell has shops? What kind of evil is this??(Quote) Well, Celeron CPU's should be avoided at all costs. You'd be better off with a Pentium 4, or anything recent from AMD. 2.8Ghz is almost as low as the dev box I have, which uses a Celeron, bu…

  • Actually, PCIe is faster than AGP, so if you're going for a new main board, get one with PCI Express along with a PCIe graphics card, if you want pretty 3D things.
    in Upgrade? Comment by Nuvo August 2006
  • I'm going to be infinitely obvious here and say DeviantArt. Seriously, it is a god amongst art sites.

  • $10 is cheaper than ?10, so hosting on servers in a country with a lower currency than us is better value. Over here, we pretty much have 1&1 and not much else in terms of big name hosting, and companies like ASmallOrange, which don't punish use…
  • Hmmm... I used to be pretty interested in a project called Nutch, which is now an Apache Lucene project (Java). Basically, it's an open source search engine system designed not to beat big names like Google, but to promote fairness as you're not fo…
  • Coppermine is supposedly decent as a gallery script. osCommerce might be worth a look if you're after a shop managment system (I'm assuming it's decent as a lot of hosts offer it over other products). If you're not bothered about hosting your shop …
