Living Room / Wi-Fi Makes Trees Sick!

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on November 23, 2010, 10:29 AM »

Radiation from Wi-Fi networks is harmful to trees, causing significant variations in growth, as well as bleeding and fissures in the bark, according to a recent study in the Netherlands.

All deciduous trees in the Western world are affected, according to the study by Wageningen University. The city of Alphen aan den Rijn ordered the study five years ago after officials found unexplained abnormalities on trees that couldn't be ascribed to a virus or bacterial infection.

Additional testing found the disease to occur throughout the Western world. In the Netherlands, about 70 percent of all trees in urban areas show the same symptoms, compared with only 10 percent five years ago. Trees in densely forested areas are hardly affected.

Ah, now you see, I never specifically said I would do these on my own I am mearly wondering which is the best route to take, as im sick of project switching.

I am honestly more of a team leader/ideas person than anything else, so actually sitting down to finish a project myself, without getting distracted by 200 things has become difficult.

And in answer to your questions, im employed and no super mutant

Living Room / Decision making time.

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on November 22, 2010, 12:25 AM »

Over the past 7 days I have been looking at what my skills are, and where I want to go with them.

So far, I have aquired a good few life skills, and can develop almost any website I want to and have been looking into programming, but theres still a few other things I want to do.  The two main ones are as follows:

Create a MMORPG
Create Poker Client/Server Software

I know these may seem like large projects, but thats because i want them to be.

I need something that I can dive into and spend my time on, rather than doing 2% of a project, moving onto another and doing 2% of that and not seeing those projects for months cause I keep moving to something else.

I am literally SICK of project jumping, and want to do something that will eat my spare time.


I honestly feel like its time for me to stop thinking about how many things I want to do, and focus all my time and energy on one thing, no matter how long that thing takes, whether that be 1 month, or 2 years.

lol awesome photo, but with in 30 seconds, i found a few editing mistakes.

When you load the software, look straight down to see the construction site, then move left up a road where there is an ambulance, 2 taxis, and a red bus, zxoom in near the taxis and look at the shop 'Foyles for Books'

The people outside this shop must be ghosts as they have sunk into the pavement, and one has no legs! (Im sure, with another 30 seconds, i could find some more)

Also, theres a double up of the woman in the orange jumper and black skirt.



(And yes, im one of these people who get bored when on google street view and find as many errors as I can lol 


Just because I found the mistakes, doesnt mean I do not appreciate the time, effort and skill thats gone into this project, and think it is amazing.

I kinda like thier style...not thier website...but thier style.

Everywhere you look on thier site, there are sly little digs which are aimed (without specifically saying it) at google lol

Search the web from your couch without having to zoom in. Yippy Wii has been carefully designed from the ground up to address the issues we've discovered while browsing web sites with our Wii. Once you've entered your search terms, just click "OK" from the full-screen Wii keyboard and Yippy will process your query immediately without needing an additional click on the "Search" button. Point and click with confidence with large target areas for both search results and clouds!

It also chooses NOT to collect ANY results from Google:

Developer's Corner / Re: Best way to get user count?

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on November 19, 2010, 05:35 PM »

failing that, ask your users to opt IN (NOT opt out) of an anaonymas data collection , collecting ONLY the data which shows how many times a user opens said software(s) - and NOTHING else.  Most people wont mind clicking yes to this if asked, but will bitch and moan if they are tricked into doing it.

The server would be located at Peer 1 Data Center in California

Our network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines from Juniper and Cisco. We utilize Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in our distribution layer and Cisco 6500 switches in our aggregation layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer. Our network is fully meshed and redundant with 9 backbone providers.

prstorm is a black hat spammer's tool used to spam the referrer logs of websites in an effort to somehow create backlinks to their own sites for SEO purposes, if a host publishes the referrer logs (I don't know many that do). It hammers servers sometimes 50 times a minute.

Now I don't know what you need to clean from your urls, but I am not likely to help you if you plan on using prstorm, and I am not sure anyone else on this forum would either.

Agreed.  I thought you might just want some nice privacy tools for yourself, not to spam links.

Im gonna go ahead and assume you mean a URL Cleaner (Privacy Tool)

If so: http://advanced-priv...ftware.informer.com/


(Click The Thumbnails To View Large Images)

Review
There is a way to feel safe when you are visiting websites, reading articles or making use of important data. With Advanced
Privacy Cleaner you will be able erase your
tracks so that no one can view the websites you visited, the articles you read or the
information you wanted to maintain private. There are a lot of users that have to share their computer with family or people at their jobs. Sometimes you just don't visit a website because you're afraid someone could see it. Maybe you're at your job and you don't want your boss to figure out that you were navigating the sites you shouldn't be navigating or you just want to keep it for yourself. With this program, you will no longer have to worry about anything. Advanced Privacy Cleaner will enable you to erase Internet history, Internet
cookies, auto-complete data, auto-complete passwords and more. But that is not all this
program allows you to do. The program takes care about your files too. You will be able to delete Microsoft Word recent files
list, images viewed by you, Windows Media Player recent files list, WinZIP recent files list and so on.

The program has got an intuitive graphical interface that will make things easy for you. With this program, you will feel safe to navigate or use your computer the way you want. There are plenty of programs like this one, but this one is absolutely free and
it's better than many others.

It comes with a lot of advanced options for programs, files and Internet
history.
It's free.

If thats not what you mean, please let me know.

Might be an idea to place a small banner about this on the main homepage (not forum home, the sites homepage) so users who try to register can see it without having to hunt through forum categories.

Something small perhaps (Like an image containing the text "Registration Problems? - Click Here") with a link to this might be ideal?
