I have just started watching WWE again after a few years. Last I watched Nexus had pretty much taken over. Now I have no idea whats happening. Triple H and Kane seem to be in authority.

Can someone quickly run down whats happened majorly?

Thanks

I have a server running server 2008 which will eventually manage the rest of the network. At the moment it is is both the DHCP and DNS server for the network, active directory is also installed and group policies applied. All services are running fine an correctly, however I question my setup/connections.

Right now I have my net connection coming in through my router (no choice in that due to it being a coax) then an ethernet cable from router to server and another from server to the rest of the network (through an old router reconfigured to act as a wireless switch only).

My question is will I have the same managment control and recieve faster network connection if I connect my network to the router instead of the server?

Ok, Im not great with words but I will try my best to explain.

I am setting up a home network with a server running Windows Server 2008 R2, I will be using two wireless adapters bridged one connects right to the internet which I will have my server connected to, before any web surfing happens I want the traffic to travel the network into the router like would happen normally, except take a detour to the server get processed there with whatever I decide to do later whether it logs or proxies etc and then travel to the internet back through the same router.

I would just have the router go into the server one side and out another to a modem/router to the net, but I dont have anything to hand for that.

Im sure there was something about routing tables but I have completely forgoton.

Anyway any help would be greatful, im fairly good with this stuff, so if you can just state some main points I would be very greatful.

I had written a little script that asks is the width greater than the height, and made 2 possible answers, so really i asked is the image landscape or portrait, if landscape then width = 800 else is portrait height is = 600.

an issue came about because some images actually enlarged itself to fit the width or height, for example 1 image is 600x500, using my rule it would stretch to 800 width and 667 height (this keeps the proportions together), but as you can see the new height now exceeds 600.

my brain is really battered now and for the life of me i cant think up the pseudo code for it and that's before i even get it into php code.

so would be great if someone out there can help me with this, even if you do not know php or coding, just coming up with a simple formula might be able to help me out, using if then this else that, if you get what i mean

Simple question, I have 2 fans, CPU and chassis, both work no problems, problem I have is the wire on the chassis fan will not reach the chassis fan slot on the board, but is right next to the CPU fan slot, and the CPU fan wire will easily reach the chassis fan slot.

Will this be OK to swap the plugs, as I am not 100% sure the same power is going to go through them.

If it helps my board is an ASUS K8V-VM.

I am making a script that will login or return to login page with an error.

I have this actually working, but it is a bit of a mess and really want some tips on how to make it easier to read, and maybe even program.

Here is an example of what I'm writing, though not in correct syntax, as I am just trying to show the structure more.

I start off with:

if (username and password has been entered?)

{

if (username exists)

{

if (passwords match)

{

login

}

else

{

error password mismatch

}

}

else

{

error username does not exist

}

}

else

{

error username and password not entered

}

There is no need to mention too much about whether the code works or not, I may have made a mistake here, but my code works perfect, what I am looking for is a quicker way to write this, or better present this, but really any general tips on presentation of the code would be appreciated.

So I have finally figured out PHP pagination script to display images across multiple pages on one URL.

I use lightbox to pop up full size images and scroll through them.

Now the problem is getting lightbox to continue scrolling through all images from the one clicked, with no repeats, but the pagination prevents that making lightbox only show pictures on the current page.

I tried posting the images at size 0 as a sort of hidden list, a bit messy I know, but still kind of new to this, but that just caused the page to repeat the images, which makes sense now.

Also tried using anchor links, didn't work, doesn't click to pop up.

So what I need is all images to be scrollable through lightbox no matter what page I am on.

for example, I have 50 images, spread across 5 pages (10 per page), the user clicks image 15, image 15 pops up with lightbox, lightbox then goes 14 - 1 on left side and 16 - 50 on right.

Really hoped I explained this well enough for a good answer.

If it is at all possible to leave the pagination script alone, or minimize changes as much as possible that would be great.

If it helps Im using this in the code:

This is to sort the files to be displayed

$selectedFiles = array_slice($filelist, $start, $per_page);

And to echo out:

foreach($selectedFiles as $file)

echo '<a href="'.$dir.'/'.$file.'" rel="lightbox[a]"><img src="'.$dir.'/'.$file.'" width="100px" height="75px" Hspace="15" Vspace="17" align="left">';

This all works as is, but not as I want.

Hope someone can help.

There are so many languages and tools out for everything now, I'm starting to confuse myself between them.

I'm looking to make some games, but at the same time I am also developing websites which is a bit of a side job for me with a friend.

Stuff I do know now, HTML, CSS, PHP MySQL along with programs I know how to use at varying levels but mostly basic still, flash (CS5), dreamweaver, and game maker 8 (more earlier versions of gm8 but all look the same to me).

Im not sure what I should go for, obviously I can't go for php, but I am becoming so familiar with that now I would hate to forget it or confuse it with another code all the time, and I also like to see things like in flash or gm8, but I know nothing of the coding's in them gml or actionscript, but I do know how to do other tasks within them, animation in flash and building basic games in gm.

I would like something that works very close to how php works with html.

I want to make a couple of games with the idea of tv game shows in mind, all basic games in pseudo code anyway.

What would you suggest I use?

Thanks

I have a paypal account and have used it both as a buyer and seller, but only used it as a seller once, where I lost a little money to paypal, that didn't really help my calculations when I was deciding a price to sell at, was like a hidden charge to me, ok it might be stated clearly somewhere but I missed it anyway.

So my question is, how much do they take? I know eBay takes 10% thats simple enough but my second question here is, if I leave the money in my paypal account and instead of transferring to a bank account like last time and instead spent it on other items using paypal, for example eBay will that let me miss out on bigger charges?

Not 100% sure on this and I am no good at finding the answers on their site either.

I have CSS (external) and pages, all is setup fine.

Issue I have is I have <p class>writing <a href link class>link</a></p>

the first class has css assigned using external sheet, as does the link, both the fonts work, the first part is red and the link is blue how i want it, only issue I have is through the use of text-decoration.

The first part is set to be underlined and the second part (the link) is set to none, as i don't want it underlined.

This works if I take the link out of the <p> tags, but then the link is on the second line.

How can I fix this? I know I could remove the underline property out, and just use <u></u> before and after, but doesn't that really defeat the point of an external stylesheet?

Just a note, the code isn't written in syntax above, I know how to code, just wanted to make it easier to read and write, so no need to mention that, I am aware I wrote it down wrong.

Just looking for a nice friendly and busy site, maybe a forum of some sort where I can post questions, find help, tutorials etc. on PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS etc.

I am trying to teach myself things in web development and while I'm using sites such as w3schools and youtube videos and other video tutorials from the internet including lynda.com, it would be nice and easier if I could post any issues I have and actually speak to someone directly online with someone who knows and understands.

Ok, I am very new with this stuff right now, but I am following some training videos in PHP and MySQL databases and other parts.

One part I am stuck on is creating any databases on the host site, the reason being is in the video it says find the controls to create a MySQL database on the host site control panel, only the issue is to be able to use that feature on the host site I am using I have to upgrade to a higher package, which would cost more money.

What I was wondering is there something that creates a MySQL database, that saves as a file that I can upload into my root folder of the website and work everything in the same way from there?

Also can someone simply explain the difference between a MySQL database and a database that I would make with something like Access?

I've never really watched a western movie, but then in some way they have never really managed to interest me really.

Instead the only things I know of westerns is from other media and movies, for example the billy the kidd part of bill and ted and games such as gun and red dead redemption and they are really the only reasons I want to give the genre a shot.

Some of the movies I've already seen include wild wild west (will smith) and the desperado movies.

So I'm looking for a fairly good movie to watch for a first to the genre, fairly modern (as in made in the last 20 years or so) and a color movie.

I just need to know the basics of it, I'm playing a game not doing anything in real life.

So say you have 2 identical cars and one has 750BHP at 6200 RPM and the other 750BHP at 8000 RPM.

Which of these is better?

Then also another example if one car has 750BHP at 6200 RPM and the other is 552 BHP at 8000 RPM which of these is better?

And finally if one car has 750 BHP at 6200 RPM and the other 750 BHP at 8000 RPM which is better?

I think answers to those 3 questions should help me understand better.

And for good measure, why not tell me what your favorite car is?

I like the lamborghini Diablo myself.

Im creating a website, and to keep consistency I have used copied code for each page and each page is linked to each other. Like I said I have completely copied the exact same code for each page.

Problem I am having is, when I click the different pages the index.html page is different to all the other pages slightly. The size of everything seems to be slightly smaller on the other pages from the home page, which I have found very strange.

Another thing is running the same test with Internet Explorer and Google Chrome there is no differences between the pages, which is exactly what I want. It is just firefox giving me the issue.

I know this seems like a tiny issue, but where consistency is important it is rather a problem.

I think what I will do is just edit it to be home.html or default.html file instead.

Is this something that should be posted in a firefox forum somewhere?

Let me know what you think of this? If you think it is a glitch or something you have heard before?

I'm only asking this question for more knowledge and have no problems.

I was wondering what speed the game uses at general times and how much bandwidth it uses in say a couple of hours or a day.

The reason why I am asking this is because I'm currently downloading some files using a download manager at (what i believe and have been told from using speed tests online) at top speed. I have virgin media which gives me 10meg broadband on fibre optics, after I use so much bandwidth during certain times (lets say 5GB between 9AM and 5PM) and then after that, my speed drops to a third, so its about 3meg now, and I'm still downloading at the top speed (of around 3meg) and I am also playing the game at both of these times and yet while I'm downloading even at the slower speed I see no difference in performance on the game, I still get the usual lag in busy places, but nothing more than usual.

And if I have not been downloading, I never seem to reach my bandwidth limit (or I haven't noticed)

So I'm asking how much bandwidth does the game use and at what speed does the game use and require before even affecting any performance?

Thanks

How can I get rid of the WoW2 account that is under my 1 email, I only use the first one but it's kind of annoying it being there, it is an expired trial that I setup before I decided to buy it and just want to get rid of it.

How do I do this?

Thanks

The pill is a small round pill about half a centimeter in size, it is pale blue in colour and has a capital D written on one side and blank on the other.

I have searched various websites trying to identify the pill, including google searches on the images with no luck.

Please can someone help me, My mum found this in my 15 year old sisters room and shes very worried at what this could be.

I have a hunch that it may not be a legal pill at all since I cannot seem to find anything on it.

I am just starting a free trial of world of warcraft, I had signed up and downloaded the game but had download issues, anyway a bought a 14 day trial version from my local game shop and it has an authentication code for the free trial, but I still have days left from when I signed up on the site.

Will I be able to play the 10 day free trial and then extend to the extra 14 day trial after before I decide if I'm going to continue paying and playing?

I guess I could probably use different E-Mail address's for each but I would rather keep to my own.

I have had this very random idea, I want to write a story, a proper book length story.

Problem is, I have never done anything like this before, I have a brilliant idea, I think in my mind (you'll understand if I don't give away too much), I have issues in reading books myself, but have written good essays and assignments in school and college, but these were on facts rather than any type of story.

I feel if I can just get past the opening, everything in my mind will flow freely onto paper and fit nicely into place, but I just need to get the initial setting and ask a few questions in story writing techniques.

1. the opening

The main focus is on the main character who is a homicide detective, he arrives at night (possibly around 4am, but this will be decided later) at a murder scene, it is raining very heavy (location hasn't been decided yet, but possibly a park) the victim (who I haven't decided on who or any information yet) has been killed by a serial killer (who I would like to leave anonymous at this point, but has been decided), the same signature's and injuries have been left as other victims the detective has investigated, but has no leads and is frustrated.

After I have that sorted, apart from the next few questions the story I feel will drop into place.

2. I want to talk about other characters individually, should I use different chapters for these?

3. I will want to use flashbacks and current thoughts in the mind, as though as he is living it, but still made clear it being a thought or a flash in his head.

4. Now for basic writing tips, how long, when and how should I finish a chapter and start a new one, how many chapters is too many or too little, and finally how many pages using Microsoft Word is enough for an average sized book and at what font? (Not too small as my eyes tend to hurt reading too small font)

Thank you to all in advanced
