Linux: Lamp

This doesnt give you epic flexibility, but for your needs it would be fine.

Please note that this is only if you want to have like a dedicated box at home.

If not

x10hosting is pretty good for freehosting.


In regards to your website making, try and steer away from tables and the like, try and use div's and CSS.

Never use Lamp/Wamp/Xampp for actual hosting.

they work fine...

i use wamp for my home server

i did mention it doesnt give you epic flexibility, but most functions for php/mysql are all readily plausible.

They are made for development and as such, are pretty lax on security. So if you use it you might want to tidy things up a bit.

Erm, 2 sec delay when moving AWAY is not normal... My 7 Home starts fading as soon as the cursor leaves the icon..

true dat. For me it shows up almost instantaneously and starts fading away as soon as I move my mouse.

So ebug its definitely abnormal behaviour since I doubt there is an actual setting for it

Some problems go away by them selves.

Ccleaner + Spybot MalwareBytes + Defrag + Virus scan + reboot = most slowdowns eliminated

No I haven't tried safe mode, but I know I haven't installed anything recently that would do this.

Got some annoying problems with HD 5870 and all available ATi drivers. Texture flickering, flickering back squares in BC2, force AA works 1/10th times, AF seems to be working pretty sketchy and can't OC or screen flickers because of powerplay issues (downclocks when it shouldn't) on 120Hz screen.

At least no more of the grey bars issue with latest few driver sets.

Hm, I've never experienced any of those problems with my 5870.

It's not Firefox because it happens in other browsers...

I've searched several times for google-analytics popups, and everyone just says "oh that's probably malware"...very helpful.

My last few ATi cards seem to throttle down the clocks when at idle... if I monitor it with GPU-z, they drop to like 50%. But as soon as I do something, they go back to correct speeds. Maybe this is what is happening...

So, as I browse websites and click links and stuff, I keep getting a popup in a new window, with a url of search.google-analytics.com ... and then it usually redirects to google.com

I use Firefox 3.5, but tried other browsers and I get the same thing. So I figure it must be a nasty that I picked up somewhere. I scanned with MalwareBytes, and Avast, and no threats found. What the gay?!

It's freaking annoying.....any ideas?

http://hostgator.com

That takes longer than just waiting a second to click the right window lol.

Well that's a very annoying solution.... lol.

Thanks for taking the time to figure it out, but I guess I'll just wait for a better solution. C'mon Microsoft, make it happen.

Doesn't seem to work for me. Or maybe I just can't figure it out...

I hate the dreams where you are holding something, like a wad of money or something. Then you wake up and clench your fist, and realize "aww shit it was a dream".

That's exactly what a want...however that link is simply asking the same thing I am asking. There's no solution.

I guess it's not possible........ :sadpanda:

I don't think that's doable just through Windows settings.

I'm open to "not just through Windows settings" as well.

I love the way the Windows 7 taskbar is, with the small icons. I like the way they group, very convenient for when you have lots of stuff open.

However, there are times when the grouping just isn't practical. Is there a way to ungroup specific programs? For example, when using X-Fire if I have more than 1 chat window open I have to hover over the group, then select the chat and I'm pretty lazy tbh.

Yes I know you can ungroup all of them, but that's not what I want. I want the rest so stay little icons and grouped, with only the ones I choose to be ungrouped.

Possible...yes? no?

Hmm, not much you can do with XP. It's pretty barebones as it is. With Vista/Seven you have a tonne of shit you can turn off..

I did a little google, look through some of these

http://www.tweakxp.com/performance_tweaks.aspx

There's a bunch of services you can disable in XP, but most of them are already set to manual and aren't running anyway.

Then of course you could make a lightweight nTune install, but that probably won't make too much difference either.

Hahaha Vista. Almost as bad as someone running XP.

While you often are wrong, Finny, this takes the price. If you disable all the services in Vista that aren't active in 7, you pretty much end up with the same OS. If you're still going at it, it just proves that you used XP while the rest of the world were using Vista.

It's funny how all the Vista-fags always jumped up to defend it when people say it was bad, just because they thought they were cool to run the newest O/S, or maybe it was because they thought they were leet to make it run as fast as XP (which...it doesn't...ever).

But then Windows 7 comes out, and all the Vista-fags still defend Vista. Why? Windows 7 is what Vista should have been...Vista was fail.

And yes, I did all the super leet Vista tweaks to disable services and bloatware and boost performance, but it still ran slower than XP, and still runs slower than my Win7 which I haven't touched.

So let me get this straight. You buy an over-priced, under-spec'ed machine, and then take off the only feature that actually makes them sell, just to run Windows?

Why not just buy a Windows machine?

i didn't buy it.  if you would've read a little further you would have seen it was a mac book air given to me by my work.

Oh, well... I can see that then.

Sorry for my douchiness.

funny this was on yahoo this morning:

doesn't have anything to do with paypal, just thought the timing was funny.

im sure paypal is secure for everyday use, i guess i'm taking a very paranoid point of view of online banks.  i just don't trust the industry, since it's so prone to attacks and blunders.  just because something could happen, doesn't mean it will... of course i could always get hit by a bus walking down the street; doesn't mean i should stay in my house all day. 

Yeah but anywhere you pay with checks or credit cards, you have the risk of it being stolen. You could use your credit card at a restaurant, or walmart, or wherever and they could remember the numbers.

If you're that paranoid you might as well use cash, tbh.

I've always had a thing for Sony Vaios, they usually seem quite sturdy. Never seen an ASUS before, I'd think coming from them their PCs should be good.

I have an ASUS laptop, it's quite good. I did a lot of research and couldn't find a better laptop in my price range.

I said 7-8 but I forgot the front panel.

I have 8 on mobo and 2 on my front panel.

Try disabling the second screen so you only have the primary screen.

I just install new ones over the old ones. I think drivers have advanced to the point that you don't have to fuck with them to update anymore.

You could just use Winamp couldn't you?

No, Apple doesn't like to share.

Make sure voltages and timings are set properly in the BIOS. Sometimes AUTO doesn't quite do it.

Other Thoughts: Nice looking unit that will give you 7 channels from your laptop to your home theater system, however it is in Prologic only I wanted 5.1 (7.1) Dolby Digital and this won't do it. Returned.

If you look at the pictures of both products, on the back it says [___ 5.1 ___ ] ... so that pretty much tells me it was made to work with 5.1 too. Never trust Newegg reviewers, they usually have no idea what they are doing.

It doesn't matter that they are 7.1

No.

Kudos to whoever actually made it through the whole video.

Looks sexy.

ATi 5970 should be the "money no object", not the 5870.

Also,

Brands worth getting imo:
ASUS (Mobo & GPU), Sapphire (ATi GPU), Corsair (RAM & PSU)

Gigabyte makes awesome motherboards too. And XFX is the only manufacturer worth getting for GPU's, if you have the option. G.Skill RAM is good for price/performance.

well one is Matx and the other is atx, which suits your needs better? Which has a better layout? what cards will you be using? OCing?

I have a cheiftec dragon case, so I'm presuming that'll take ATX. I have a 4670 atm, will probably save up for a 5870. 3x2gb of ram will be heading my way as well. And I'll probably want to overclock slightly

You do realize  P55 only utilizes dual channel ram so you'll only be using 2x2 gig.

No...he will still have 3x2GB of RAM.

It just won't run in triple channel.

No need, nvidia fails at competitive pricing.

No, but as far as 3D movies go, it was nothing special. Stand out characters, that's about it.

I want shit to fly at me.

EDIT: The previews before the movie where Shrek shoulder charged me was more exciting.

The 3D was used to create depth in the movie, which was never done before properly. 

Most people, including myself, find stuff flying at you gimmicky and takes away from the movie.

Well, I had never been to a 3D movie before this and I was frankly pretty disappointed.

$11 for a little bit of depth of field. Gay.

You're just going to pay more for shipping, so just buy it all at once.

Also, get cheaper PSU and better GPU.

old.

You can try hotwiring the psu and with something cheap thing plugged into it as load like DVD-Drive. And then go multimeter rampage.

Which probably won't tell you anything, because PSU's behave differently on and off loads.

Relevant.
