Whew ... I am back and I am glad to see this thread starting.
When I first started making a uA, I relied heavily on the forums. I only refered to the site for minor things. But here goes my first suggestion.
----IDEA 1----
The 1,2,3 steps that are current, are not up to date. There is software out there now (nLite, XPcreate, xplode, etc) that make it much easier to make the persons first uA.
Basically there should be a quick guide using specific software. I would definately mention an organization of folders as well. Its mentioned somewhere on the site but within the quick guide would be a GREAT idea.
Windows_uA_Stuff
-XP_Orig_CD
-XP_uA
--OEM
and so forth. Organization is very important as I have found out so yeah ... I hope you stress it too.
--IDEA 2----
Take any links that refer to the Forum and organize it for the site itself. I really dont like reading through mindless posts that have no informational value, just there to take time reading.
--IDEA 3--
Picture is worth a thousand words ... and in some cases very informational. Tells the person they are on the right track and so on. So on a step by step basis ... take pictures.
--IDEA 4--
uA isnt all about getting application switchs and what so not anymore. There are the pretty aspects such as the setup screen (WINNTBBU.DLL) and other stuff posted Giving Your Windows Cosmetic Surgery
--IDEA 5--
Kinda coming from IDEA 4. Those stickys ... if they are so important ... put them on the site.
I hope this helps get the noodle going and I hope you can organize this in a fashion that noobs and advanced users alike will enjoy going through the site. Obvious alot of reading and writing and rewriting is ahead ... good luck and ask for help when you need it.

If you like counterstrike you may want to get it. But I think valve did a horrible job putting this game together. Sure it looks pretty ... but I see some major flaws.
1) No multiplayer. And if you say CS:Source is multiplayer, hit yourself on the head. Half Life the original had Half Life multiplayer with Half Life guns and a mod called Counterstrike with Counterstrike guns.
Half Life 2 has no multiplayer.
2) I doubt they beta tested this game as much as they should have let alone prepared to take on the world to register their games all at the same time. This doubt comes into play as I notice not just within my own gaming system but all across the Half Life 2 related forums on the net. People are having severe problems with Audio // Video stuttering. A supposed fix is to come out Nov 23.
As for Valve and their great invention STEAM ... well good idea, I just wish when I buy a game (the day it is released) I can play it. In my circumstance it wasnt till a day later until I could register my game so I could play single player. Good idea ... but there is already a warez version for the single player that works 100% with no problems a day before the game was even released in stores, so why should we the consumer suffer a delay in playing a game we purchased due to a security precation that obviously failed. Anyway back on topic ... their servers were swamped and I had to wait a day to play the much anticipated game ... very upsetting
And another thing about the retail version. It requires the CD/DVD in the drive in order to play the game, while the people who bought the game using STEAM get to enjoy a CD/DVD less environment. I understand it has to deal with some court issues but ... this should have been thought of way before this game was released.
3) The game itself seemed extremely short and the storyline seemed weaker than the original Half Life, but I am gonna go back and play Half Life to hopefully prove myself wrong. But it just feels like this game had less thought into it as the original.
Ok lets recap. Buggy, Activation Issues (supposed security), Retail CD/DVD usage, Game had less thought put into it.
Oh and ... NO MULTIPLAYER! That is the original reason I bought the original. I loved the multiplayer way before MODs such as DOD, CS, and NS became so big.
Overall I suggest a wait till the game gets an overhaul with updates and maybe some mods. I am to understand there is a Multiplayer mod coming out soon ... I think the maps are the issue right now.
It's your choice ... I personally am upset at the release and I wasnt even hyped up for the game. I bought it cause I know its gonna be the talk of the town at the next lan party ... I wanna fit in after all

See the whole thing about games is not to get excited. I used to get excited and have that big let down, then I learned hey dont get excited ... It has worked so far, well except for those instances I forgot about the game I got excited about and probably lost out on a good game. Oh well saved some money

No No No ... You folks got it all wrong. Did you ever see Brain "Just earn money" or dominate one thing. Of course not. I think Pinky died off and Brain is incharge of his own things, which would be Google.
Yes thats it folks, Brain is slowly but surely taking over the world with Google. First the IT area, THEN THE WORLD ... MWA HAHAH.
HAIL BRAIN!

My father and myself do stuff like that for free ... well sometimes we get a good job let me take you out to dinner offers or something like that. As for corporate, hell I work at 9 an hour and do stuff like that which isnt even in my job descritipion.
Use common sense and be fair ... if the job is to easy give them a break. Then again this is my town ... lots of tech people around.

I personally say yes. You ask why ... cause Microsoft can. If they can build a better OS at an effective price ... why not? Its not like they cant keep support for their current OS's.

2 Days - **** MSBlaster...
Now thats funny.
I dont sleep for 2 days and then sleep for about 8 to 12 hours and ready for another 2 days, really odd sleeping pattern or so I am told by my doctors. As for my record of 4 or 5 days ... week long lan party. Had to sleep a couple of hours the last day so I could drive home ... felt like I was drunk, or maybe I was?

and to add to #3, game releasers also "inocently" get their games "leaked" and then have to push back the release date *COUGH* HL2 *COUGH*.

To an extent the old days of IT are dying but new ones are being reborn dont ya think (probably not as fast as it should)? If it is dying, I am not too worried ... along side with my ping pong playing nights, I also do some mechanics and carpentry ... I got my back covered just in case IT fails me

TeleSync is pretty much the best quality from within the cinemas you can download. Support the films you like, tell Hollywood what movies are worth making
More info on this subject can be saught here http://www.vcdquality.com/faq.php
PS - I am no moderator, but "What is...." should be elaborated when you make a topic (see forum rule #12

Alright tension is high, and I think hackers are being misunderstood in the mist of this battle between morals. So lets all tickle each other with a feather and leave it to the question of "To pirate or not to pirate ... ARRRG"
Piracy can be good and bad in the long run for all business's. Look at bittorrent ... INGENIOUS idea to transfer a large file between several people. I highly doubt that kinda program would be around today if it werent for piracy. So piracy creates ideas ... good. Piracy also spreads the word of software fairly fast ... this also gets the consumer used to their product rather than someone elses. In turn companies will buy certain products that the incoming employees are used to. They dont buy products based on this ... but its a factor non the less.
Piracy takes profits from companies, however, companies plan for this or at least should. Piracy is not purely based on price. Some people just dont want to spend 5 bucks for great software, hence a markup on software to compensate.
Personally, piracy doesnt bother me, but it may someday as I further my programming career (if I am destined to do so
). There is one issue that does bother me about piracy, and that is if the software is used to develop something for profit. Example - I develop websites ... I use photoshop and an HTML editor, both in which I own because I make profit from using such items.I dunno ... it's your folks morals. Its kinda like relegion, belief on using drugs, etc etc. Just remember not everyone thinks like you, just take their ideas into consideration, and dont attack something you dont like.
PS Blacklisted! 411 : Hackers and the Media A good read!

How does a game title go gold before it is released? What does this freaking gold title mean? WHY GOLD AND NOT PLATINUM! I dunno I feel like complaining because people say this game is gonna rock, its gonna be the best game ... blah blah blah. Well I understand it is very likely its gonna rock ... but should we place a stamp of "gold" on the game before half the population that say its gonna rock actually gets to play it? For all we know its gonna suck a** ... not to be mean to doom3 but it sucked multiplayer ... and multiplayer makes or breaks a game these days (first person shooter wise).
Ah well

on another post u had said u just got your 1 star, i'm sure if everyone on this board 30000 users where to promote their stars by posting "hi i've got 1 star" that'd be very awefull, don't u think?
Eh it was ment as a joke ... you know with talk about Halo gone gold and all ... obviously it wasnt that funny ah well.
And just to think about something, if all 30,000 users would post a "Hi this is me post" that would pretty awful too dont ya think? Now if this happen all at the same time, yes i would understand. But isolated incodenses dont need to be flamed upon (got 3 messages saying how bad it is and why). Alright alright i get the point, I broke one of the first 10 commandments ... Lord will smite me for pete sakes .... I said my sorries, FORGIVE ME!!!! WAHHHHHH ... leave me alone <curls in corner and cowars>

ASP VBSCRIPT
in Web Development (HTML, Java, PHP, ASP, XML, etc.)
Posted
names=request.Form(names)
arr = Split(names, "," )
for loopCounter = 0 to ubound(arr)
response.write ("Hello " & arr(loopCounter)
next
this "should" work. It takes your TEXTAREA and Splits it up using the comma as the delimiter. Then after the array has been made it will loop through the array till the last member (ubound) has been reached.
Hope this helps
