Thad: Can you set your "shortcut link" to the website to the "Main Page", and not the login page?

http://brainking.com/en/GameList (English Main Page)

Fencer: It would be nice if it ALWAYS remembered me. ;-)

Yes, it's only one click, but it seems like we could do away with it.

Thad: Which Browser are you using?

Thad: Yes, that's how it's supposed to work. And with the option suggested by chessmec, the only thing you must do is to click on the Login button.

chessmec: It is already set to that. That was the first thing I thought to check.

Thad: At start page is this:

User Name:


Password:


Remember on this computer:
- nothing
- user name only
- user name and password

What about using "user name and password"?

Every time I restart my browser, I have to login again. Is this how it's supposed to work?

Thad

thanks to all for the answer!

my problem with http://mec.tuwien.ac.at/ is the following:

one pc in our work ( IE 6.0.2800.1106, W2K with all patches) does not show the logos (all firewalls off). but two other shows it ... (and all other browsers: no problem)

the tag is:

div style="background-image:url(background2.gif); " ...

which made the problem in one pc ... but I think it is the problem of the one pc only ...

The logo remains (though changed to the appropriate language) in IE 6.0, Netscape 7.2, and Opera 8.01

chessmec: Yes (Firefox 1.0.6).

chessmec: Using Slimbrowser I see the same logos left above.

http://mec.tuwien.ac.at/

please go to this website and switch between english and german. and tell me, if you can see in both the main logo left above.

(if one IE-user can not see it please tell me the IE version)

Thank you!

ScarletRose: No.

WhiteTower: I wonder if it is due to the level of your membership??

Fencer: Working fine. From all BrainKing pages, it's those 3 that return the mysterious blank page:

- Who is online
- Online opponents
- Bug tracker

I used to be able to see Bug tracker (if you check, I had an entry or two recently)

WhiteTower: What about http://brainking.com/cz/Statistics and http://brainking.com/cz/Statistics?p=1 ?

if anyone is on ICQ try the new warsheep game its a riot..wanna game? my ICQ#92-438-518

Anyone ever try this?

It's a screen saver - which communicates with other computers to share "sheep" and such. I normally don't like when things "share" things with my computer, but for some reason I just felt like trying this. Kind of interesting - thought I would share it.

Luke Skywalker: lol :)

playBunny: and in C==

Summertop: lol .. might be an idea .. just finished my can of coke for the day though :)

if i go wireless though i will go wireless on both .. today in the free newspaper in the train (spits) there was an article about mice (are computer 'mouses' also called 'mice' ?) and keyboards .. will read that now .. will see if there is anything new on the market since last time that i checked about 2 years ago :)

Hrqls: Keep the mouse and spill another Coke on your keyboard.

Summertop: ah thanks!

i really hate those keyboards without an insert key at the right place :)

i also hate it that i have 2 keyboards at home .. one with insert,home, pageup and below that delete,end,page down and below that power,sleep,wake

while on the other keyboards i have printscreen,scroll lock,pause and below insert,home,pageup and below delete,end,page down

so the delete key has been shifted one row down .. therefore i always miss it when i am on the other keyboard :)

i dont use the quick launch keys .. most of those functions i dont use or i access about as fast via another way (although i sometimes do use the volume key on there)

but it seems my keyboard is working again .. i cant find any flaws anymore :( ... which means i cant allow myself to buy the wireless stuff :)

(patrially because i have a logitech mouse with softgrip and thumb button ... i love the thumb button .. and i love the soft grip .. so far i havent seen any mouse with those 2 combined .. and i cant bring myself to lose one of those 2 features :))

cute ? nah ... but sweet it is ;)

somehow a night rest seems to do my keyboardf good .. it seems to work a bit better .. the 'df' was a normal typo for me .. not the keyboard this time :)

Hrqls: hahaha.. you poor thing.. haha.. sorry it is so kewt

Hrqls: Coke is VERY hard on keyboards. If you go wireless (I did) make sure you get a keyboard that has the same layout as you are used to. For example, Microsoft's wireless keyboard combined the Insert and Delete keys into one BIG Delete key. Then they moved the insert kety elsewhere. also, on the Microsoft Wireless keyboard, by default, the Function (F1-F12) keys don't work.

I prefer the Memorex wireless keyboard/mouse combo. Very standard layout of the keys, plus all the quick launch keys that many people like.

i want to appologize in advance for any weird messages. i spilled a whole glass of coke on my keyboard and now my :

o = o + right mouse click (key next to right windows key
n = nu
u = nu
b = br
r = br
p = /p
/ = /p

my abrbrow keys donut wobrk anuymobre eithebr its like i am nusinug the numebric islanud withonut numlock onu

so fobr the abrbrows :

left = + (anud goinug left)
bright = (goinug nu/p)
downu = (goinug left)
nu/p = (goinug nu/p! ;))

the numebric islanud still wobrks thonugh anud so does my bracks/pace :)

(brnut i am too laze to nuse that :))

i gnuess its time fobr a nuew keybroabrd (finually a breasonu to go wibreless inu thebre as well :))

Maxxina: a few years ago there were a lot of websites where you could send sms for free ... about a year ago i wanted to find such a site again ... but couldnt find any which was totally free .. often you had to purchase another service and would then get the sms for free

but i think i found one site which offered 10 free sms per week for free, where you could sign up for free ... i forgot which site though (it was a dutch site) .. i will have a look if i can find it

i wrote myself a program which could send sms .. it encoded the message to the sms format (plus a few control characters) .. made a modem connection to an sms server .. send the message .. receive the answer from the server .. and break the connection

it used a dutch sms server .. but i guess it would work in czech as well when you know the phone number of an sms server there

last time when i tried my program it didnt work though .. but that might have been because i tried to make it work via an isdn modem line
(the traffic controllers we make still use the same sms server and it still works)

my program is written in visual basic 6 .. if you want i can send it to you via email

Maxxina: short answer is no however in my experience is that you usually have to sign up for those that allow you to send via internet and then they are from your country of origin as they ask what your mobile number is. So you will probably have to do a search on the internet.
Here is Australia, I'm able to sms overseas from my mobile at the same cost as if I were smsing to another aussie mobile number. I use it a lot to keep in contact with my fiance' that way.

cheers playBunny! Thats what I thought but I wasn't sure.

Can anyone tell me how you measure the size of a monitor? Is it just the screen, side to side - or the screen diagonal, or everything including the casing?

Is there somewhere on internet chance to send to sms abroad free . need send two to singapore .

chessmec: thanks! it works perfectly! and its free ;)

i managed to turn the movies easily (and resize to reduce the size) and to cut them in pieces .... its a great program!!

the only disadvantage is that it can only save as avi ... does anyone know a nice free program to convert avi into mpg ?

i did a search on google, found a lot of them .. tried one .. and it gave me a really artistic mpg .. lost of moving shapes .. but you couldnt really recognize any human forms anymore ;)

does anyone know an avi to mpg convertor which works better ?;)

chessmec: thanks!!!! i spend most of yesterday looking for something .. but couldnt find anything

will try it this evening (or this weekend) .. will let you know about the results ;)

Hrqls: http://www.virtualdub.org/

does anyone know of a program (preferably small and free ;)) to rotate a mpg movie ?

on my holiday i made a few movies with the camera dangling on my belt (i was sliding along a cable through the canopy myself) .. so the movie cant be viewed easily

is there a way to rotate an mpg movie ?

ArtfulDodger: My husband also did some checking and being it was in local papers made it public news.I know it gave us a wake up call.

BIG BAD WOLF: That's true. Sometimes they don't know about something and wouldn't have tried it had they not known! Catch22

ArtfulDodger: Just be carefull - a lot of times information like this for adults is good, but once kids read it - they think "Cool - I've got to try that" and puts new ideas in some kids heads.

Rose: :) My biggest concern is for my students. I worry about them when they move on to middle school and beyond. It's kinda like the kids moving out of the house. It's good to know these things and I intend to let every teacher in my district know about this. Parents too!

ArtfulDodger: I myself was glad to have read the post. I followed up on google to find out more about it as I have cans of that same product in my basement and have teenage boys down there alot. One never knows so now they are locked up. Thanks!

Summertop: The warning itself wasn't. Ive seen it many places when I checked out the story and there is no copyright at all.

I can't imagine anyone copyrighting a potential life saving warning so others wouldn't be able to share it.

Foxy Lady: Yeah, don't mind Pedro. Besides, there's a moderator here and he's not one of them. :) And besides, it was an interesting article and was probably fitting here. The basic letter was not copyrighted either and I doubt any laws were violated anyway. I say thanks for posting. ;)

First i posted on only 2 boards.Second i really didn't see the copyright.I posted on this board about the product because i thought some of you may use it.

Firewolf: no,but I had an out of body experience...
sigh...So many peripherals, so few ports.

does anyone out there have any proxy experience?
