If you're using Internet Explorer, try using Mozilla Firefox... There may be a scripting issue involved.. or perhaps this is related to the post that Winx posted in this thread, called "not good".

I hate always having to be the one that seemingly defends microsoft, but...




This 'flaw' is already well known, and is not breaking news. The article was written by a well known Firefox supporter (named Chistopher Null), conincidentally, at the same time the 'Google Chrome' beta browser was released. This is a marketing ploy, nothing more.

The actually flaw itself is, apparently, a file that contains saved passwords in it. Which of course, EVERY browser that runs a saved password feature has to store the password to a file.

Perhaps the difference is that IE saves a username and URL in the same file, and other browsers store them elsewhere, and thus it is less secure because it is all in one file, Who knows? The fact of the matter is, if you DON'T save your passwords, while using the browser.. it won't be stored on your computer.

By the way, the way to access that file, and retieve the username, password, and the website url associated with them on your computer, is by HACKING your computer in the first place. You see the point? Inorder for this vulnerbility to be exposed, you would have to have already been compromised..

that's kewl, a friend of mine is in the process of getting an agreement with Apple finialized for his mobile game( although, I'm named in the apps credits) to be on iTunes App Store, where both the IPhone and IPod touch owners/user can download it.

I would tell you the name, but I don't want to be presumptuous. It's not a done deal yet.

excuse me, just download 'Microsoft ASP.NET web MATRIX' and 'Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition'.

'SQL Server 2008 ( Express ) SP1 x86' and '.NET Framework 3.5 SP1' are included in Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Epress Edition )



NOTE:
x86 usually stands for Intel Chip Architecture, x86 family. I'm not sure if this actually means the SQL Server 2008 optional download, when installing VWD2008, is stictly for Intel Processor computers, or not. There is no difference between Pentium and Celeron, in regards to chip architecture (i.e. Assembly Code computating), I'm not sure about Intel Mobile. I am inclinded to believe there is no difference, either, as it's a standardization issue.


If you don't have an intel processor, you might want to just use the link I posted earlier to download SQL Server 2008 express.

His first question was in another Topic post.



Download 'Microsoft ASP.NET Web MATRIX' for ASP.NET 1.0, 1.1 Developement

at http://www.asp.net/downloads/archived/web-matrix/default.aspx?supportsjs=true

Download 'Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP1' AND 'Microsoft Web Developer 2008 Express Edition SP1'

at http://www.asp.net/downloads/essential/

In regards to webapp data on the page, these programs are much easier to follow, and learn from, than visual studio.

'Microsoft ASP.NET Web MATRIX' will create Access files (.mdb), create DataTables in them, and allow you to add/edit the data within the tables. It's a nice free program to have around.

They aren't really an alternative to VS though, as you can always 'ADD EXISTING ITEM' when you're done using the tools in those IDEs.


Database connections really come down Authentication and USER/GROUP(object) Permissions. Inorder for your Web Application to gain access to a sql database, the database gets attached to a SQL Server Service (which will default as a Network Service) that checks an authentication string that you have to declare/pass it. The string has to point at the database as well, and reference a dataobject type (provider). This is known as a connectionstring

If you don't have a SQL Server Service running, download SQL Server 2008 ( Express Edition )

at http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/default.aspx

The general way to setup a connectionstring in ASP.NET is in the web.config file at the root level of your Web App( not in a subfolder on your webapp). You CAN write it to web.config files within every subfolder, but it would take tweaking the .NET framework a bit. There are .NET settings guides on how to do this. I'm not going to reference them, because if you're on the learning curve, it's best to stick with the standards.

However, a simplier way of generating your connection string is by going to the 'Server Explorer' window, right click 'Database Connections', and Click 'Add Connection'... choose the database type, browse for the file.. 'Text Connection' > Click 'Okay'

this will provide a data design mode to that database under 'Server Explorer'.

the go to your 'App_Code' folder (another .NET special folder) in Solution Explorer > Right Click > Add New Item > DataSet

Double Click the newly created File, and you will be prompted with a wizard, where you can select your database from the combobox and continue through, It will prompt to create a connectionstring at the application level, click yes. Go default on everything, except when you see the 'Query Builder' button. Click that, you will be prompted with a dialog that shows the Datatables in your database, select one and add it, then close the box and check 'All *', uncheck anything else and click okay. Then click next through the rest of the forms, and then finish.

That should generate a <connectionstring tag in your web.config

at this point, you can create a gridview control in any aspx page, Rick Click the control (design mode) > 'Show Smart Tag' > ObjectDataSource (you can try AccessDataSource here as well, I haven't)
reference your dataset.tableadapter, and continue through the wizard.



Take a look at the program: ASP.NET Web Matrix.
create a 'New File' > 'Data' category > 'Editing Grid' (toward the bottom).

When the page pops up, Go To 'View' ( at the Application Menubox ) > 'ALL'

This is a coded implementation of what you are trying to do. Connecting to a database, using sqlcommands to retrieve data, and then bind it to a control object.

the difference being..

Dim ConnectionString As String = "server=(local);database=pubs;trusted_connection=true"

is setup at your application level (web.config), using a data source (because that is the newer .NET method I believe)


Dim SelectCommand As String = "SELECT * from [DataBaseTable]" (I'm cleaning this query up a bit)

is in your TableAdapter which goes hand and hand with your Dataset, which is just a nice data-structured object that keeps your retrieved, stored data in memory for your app to use and manipulate/modify.


that should pretty much cover things.

I could stand to learn more about linux.. didn't the NSA develop a version of Linux?

I've recommended this before, but 'Spyware doctor' seems to be one of the most reliable spyware softwares I've used for detection and removal. It's free, and the url is http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/

Use CCleaner prior to running any scans, as it will thoroughly delete/shred non essential data files.

Some viruses are simply difficult to remove, as they attach a registry value to winlogin.exe that points to a malicious file. Winlogon.exe is a system file that 'contains' the system services that explorer.exe is both dependent on and not dependent on. Also, The virus will usually load a registry value into explorer.exe that points to a trojan file to ensure the registry value under winlogon.exe is present. It will load this registry value into an area of explorer that has full access of your system. BHOs, or Browser Helper Objects, are common areas to place this registry in.

(I don't want to get too technical with registry directory paths/locations)

It's a vicious cycle, and although there are multible ways to deal with this issue, the easiest solution, and most reassuring method, is to have an anti-virus/spyware software that can detect and remove registries and files prior to winlogon.exe and explorer.exe being loaded into memory. winlogon.exe is loaded before you see, or would expect to see, the user logon screen. Explorer.exe begins loading after you logon with your user. So the removal of registries and files must be before the user logon screen appears.

ad-aware and, possibiliy, AVG have this feature, if I'm not mistaken.

Booting to safemode will not keep a file associted to winlogon.exe from being loaded. It will, however, prevent a lot of other system services from being loaded.

I have to clarify this statement



What I meant to say was...

I still can't understand how people can have bad sex, expecially routinely bad sex, when their 'intent' is to have good sex.

The only exception being, your first time.

when I made this statement...

...I was thinking of my first time.

I don't know about most people in here, but my first time was a serious let down, considering all the hype. I focused too much on the physical, there was no longer an idea in my head to be excited about. It was 4 hours long, bad sex.

I still can't understand how people can have bad sex, expecially routinely bad sex.

Obviously, there's a stimulation factor that is being overlooked, or simply not present, here.

If I were in this predicament, I would have to ask myself several questions.

such as....

What am I comparing this sex to, that makes it bad?

Is it by comparison to previous sexual partners and experiences?

How is the physical act of sex with them more stimulating?

Do I have an unrealistic, or ideal, expectation of sex that is not being met?

Could it be that I am inhibited by the idea of having sex with this person?

I think you would agree, the excitement you get from the idea of having sex with 'this' person is more stimulating than the physical act of having sex. The physical stimulating is just reinforcing the overall stimulating of sex. It's the supporting role.

How in the world can you be in love with someone and have bad sex?

Can you be in love with someone and not be excited about the idea of having sex with them?

My answer is no, so .....



my response is... DNE, or does not exist.

By my perception, there will never be such a situation. If you are having bad sex with a person, you aren't in love with them. (This does not mean that sex with the person you love will only be great, but to precieve sex with them as bad, is to say you did not 'enjoy' it at all )

Still, as I said in the beginning, I can't see how people can have bad sex at all. Unless, these people feel duty-bound, like it's a chore or something (like a prostitue would.. male or female I imagine).

why don't people have more senseless questions?

don't thank him/her until you get their creditcard

I haven't had much reason to troubleshoot dryers before, so I don't know much about them. However, like any issue, you should probably give a little more information on what the problem is exactly, so that more knowledgible people may be able to help.

Has the dryer worked for you before, is it new?

Did the dryer make any unusual noises or sounds before it stopped working?

was there an event that occured that might have caused your dryer to stop functioning properly, i.e. a power outage, a flood, etc. ?

Did the dryer seem to be getting power(before you opened it up), did it 'turn on'? Did you rule out the possibility of a tripped circuit breaker, bad outlet, bad wiring (you can safely do this with a socket tester that supports 240v, available at most hardware stores)?

I'm assuming you're refering to ASP.NET and VB.NET

datasets were a bit of a change up of how programmers structured data manipulation. Most people praise the concept, but it hasn't really been a new concept since implemented before 2003 edition. I'm glad you have it down.

It's important to know how you want this value changed,

server-side (IE runat="server", that the server will execute using a codepage or 'codebehind')

or

client-side (a script of some sort, that the client browser will execute)

' Server-Side:

<asp:textbox id="mytextbox" value="" runat="server">

' .:codebehind:.

Class myClass
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub mytextbox_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mytextbox.Load
mytextbox.Text = "BrettBrett"

End Sub
End Class



says that when the asp.net control, named mytextbox, is loaded by the server, it will change the value (.text) of that control to "BrettBrett"

' Client-Side:
...
</head>
<script type="text/ecmascript">

function MyFunction(document)
{
MyTextInput.value = "BrettBrett"
}

</script>

<body onload='MyFunction(document)'>

<input type='text' id="MyTextInput" />
...


This doesn't involve any asp.net or vb.net codebehind.

It is simply ECMAscript and an HTML input tag

even built in webcams need correct drivers to work, the difference is.. since it's built in, The driver is loaded onto your computer before it ever leaves the factory. Also, the driver for the device is in the factory CD shipped with the computer labeled DRIVER SOFTWARE (not for distrubtion).. or something to that effect.. haha

Sooo, if you ever get a computer that has a built-in device that isn't working.. download the driver for it, which you can often find the model of the device by searching the model of the computer that has it built-in.

More often than not, this is going to be a driver(software for the device) issue.

questions...

1.) Is this a new device?
IF NOT, Are you using this old device on the computer in question for the first time?
IF NOT, Has the webcam ever worked on this computer?
IF SO, have you recently reformatted/reinstalled your operating system or allowed someone to 'optimize' your computer?

2.) is it plugged into your computer (or in the unlikely event that it is wireless, connected wirelessly)?

3.) What type of webcam is it? (brand name and model #/name)

4.) What program are you using to 'verify' whether your webcam is working or not? ( if unknown, or 'you aren't using one', try yahoo messenger or another messenger application and verify whether the program recognizes your webcam, and gives you picture feedback when you open the webcam dialoge/screen/page/form)

5.) Does the webcam have and show a power indicator light as on, has a power indicator light, but does not show it as on, or has no indicator light?


Before you actually even post a reply to my post, if you have the answer to question 3, please put that information into a google search, along with ' driver download ' ... and begin to download the latest driver for your webcam.

To be contempt, does not mean you will always be happy; but to be always happy, is to be contempt.

either way, you're not bettering yourself.

it takes unhappyness for you to pursue change. And if you don't pursue, then you are committing an ultimate injustice to yourself.

You're going to have to find a way to be self-motivated and gain confidence.



Oppurtunity is a Door, Confidence is your knock, knowledge is a key.

Life is a series of oppurtunities.

and it takes determination to find oppurtunities.

make them yours!

I'm not a motivational speaker, I just play one of mingle2 forums.. good day.

alright, fine.. the answer is, they are pilots and they crashed.


For future reference people, riddles in highly active forums don't work.

He's a midget.. he can only reach the 20th floor button.



not to deminish the, 'oh, I didn't even think about that,' moment you are probably having. There are a few things you need to assume and discount for this one, like, 'other people in the elevator?'.. nope, you have to "assume" he was always alone in the elevator, for if I would have stated he was alone, you would have probably considered the possibility of him not having that routine if he were not alone. Which would have lead to a lack of capability, which would have probably lead to answering the riddle quickly.

You have to discount the buzz word, "work", a lot of people answer this one with, he washes windows, but if you think about it.. how is that relevant to the riddle?

wow, common.. this is the best riddle I have.. people aren't even trying here.

How about the best pickup lines that worked?.. cause I don't use the bad ones!..because they're BAD


actually, I don't know if I've ever used a line. It's usually just approach them and say hi, tell them your name, get their name, ask them a bunch of personable questions, while smiling and nodding slowly.(no need for you to talk about yourself, they don't care for that) Then offer them a drink, invite her group over to meet your group, make introductions, start talking smack, jokingly, with your friends to lighten the mood.. blah blah blah.


But I do have a line I just made up, maybe one of yall can make it work...

"I had a bad pickup line I was going to use on you.. but I forgot it" *wait for dramatic laugh* Then say hi
