  1. Line 4 of your Javascript you have a spelling mistake. Missing an 's' in password. Define variable 'pasword' and then do a comparison with variable 'password'.
  2. Yes, I know. Another f***ing windows 10 thread... Can anyone help me with this one?
  3. Soma looks cool, but I wanna see something really exciting at this conference tonight
  4. Mint is a great, I used to use that on an old desktop for a year or so. Ubuntu is the most popular by far, but as you said you weren't a big fan. I use Elementary OS on my laptop occasionally and I love it. It's based on Ubuntu, but is a nice, easy to use fresh take on the traditional Ubuntu gui. Raspbian is meant for the Raspberry Pi, which if I'm not mistaken means it is extremely thinned out, and is not exactly optimal for a full blown desktop machine. My advice is to get a flash drive and download a couple iso's of different distros and play with them each for a day or two and find out which one works the best for you.
  5. There is a large percentage of people who are willing to pay for it. It will sell no matter what. I mean, is $120 really that much for something that you will use everyday for 5-6 years? I don't think it is
  6. I'm looking for a device that will take a 3.5mm audio input, and have multiple outputs so I can switch between my speakers and head phones easily. Can anyone recommend a small, reasonably priced, good quality switch?
  7. I mean, I'm selling a 1080p 24" Samsung Syncmaster on eBay.... Probably against forums rules to promote myself but if your in Canada it might be a good option. PM if you want a link. $90 and in perfect condition
  8. They do, but this device compares the actual physical input before it gets to the PC (mouse > Game:ref > PC) with what the PC is reporting to the game. So even if the cheats disguise that way, the info they are sending to the game still does not match the movement info coming from the mouse. That is how the device is supposed to work, in theory.
  9. Dazmode.com He runs his site out of Mississauga. I have had nothing but great experiences ordering from him! Highly recommended
  10. Believe me, it ain't that simple. Setting up a decommissioned aircraft with the latest avionics and electrical equipment isn't an easy task. Again, if anyone was going to test this, it would be engineers at a manufacturer. And if it is a severe flaw, they would already be all over it. We definitely would not be the first to know about something like this.
  11. Problem is it isn't all that easy to convince an airline or a manufacturer to just let some geeks test out an Android tablet with Linux on it by borrowing an aircraft for the afternoon. If there is some legitimate concern over vulnerabilities in the aircraft's systems, it is likely that the manufacturers (Boeing, Airbus etc.) are already all over it. We definitely wouldn't be the first to know. Also, they wouldn't even need the engines at full power. They would probably only need them idling to see if they can be remotely shut down.
  12. Well, maybe. It means "we think its possible, but have no way of testing it". Obviously they don't want to test it (unless someone is really nuts), but it still doesn't validate it in any way.
  13. The quote says "we could theorize" about turning engines off while the aircraft is cruising. That doesn't mean they can. I'm not trying to downplay the severity of something like this, and the implications are scary, but generally these communities of grey/white/black hat hackers like to exaggerate the dangers of technologies like this. I don't think there is anything to worry about here.

  15. Ya you know that is starting to seem like a pretty solid option. And I honestly have no problem working on OSX, I didn't really need to specify windows in my first post. Definitely something I will be considering
  16. I have thought about a Chromebook, but I will probably be running programs like Mathematica and some dev studios like Visual Studio or Eclipse
  17. Probably won't need a dedicated graphics card, and also forgot to mention I am in Canada, so amazon.com might not ship lol thanks anyways though
  18. I currently have a Sony Vaio T series "ultrabook". Battery won't last longer than 1.75 hours. It's a piece of s***, and won't do me any good at school. Gonna sell it. I'm looking for some suggestions for a thin (ultrabook?) Windows laptop with very good battery life. I am a Goodle Docs / Dropbox user so hdd/ssd doesn't have to be large. I don't need a high performance laptop because my desktop has performance on lockdown. Basically, I need something that can run chrome, word and a mathematics or development program. To summarize: Thin Long battery life 128GB or 256GB ssd No smaller than 13-inch Enough horsepower for a couple programs at once Under $1000? I know not all these conditions are easily met but I am having trouble finding something that will suit my needs. The closest I can come up with is the XPS 13, but if there is something with better reviews or specs/price let me know. Many thanks! p.s I am in Canada
  19. There is no such better answer; you have to put a lot of time and work into learning to build a dynamic website! It IS a LOT of work, no easy way unless you buy some template PHP and JavaScript code. But thats no fun To build a site with login/signup functionality you will at least need to know your way around HTML, PHP, MySQL databases and obviously CSS to make your site usable. Also, for it to be a dynamic site where the user is interacting with parameters and such, you will probably want to know JavaScript / jQuery. To test your site you will need to setup a test Apache server, as well as a MySQL database on your localhost (your pc I would imagine). You can download WAMP if you are on windows and it installs all the packages you need to get started. It isn't all that intuituve, so search on YouTube or Google for tutorials on how to get setup! Best of luck!
  20. Start with Python or Java, and if you're ambitious dive right in to C++. And Windows should work just fine for you, assuming you have a license. If licensing is an issue, go for Linux. Search around and find a distro that suits your needs best. Good luck!
  21. CM Storm QuickFire XT (full size) or a TK. Great quality for very good prices. I would recommend MX browns, feel great and aren't too loud.
  22. Excellent price to performance on this deal!
  23. CM Storm QuickFire XT if you want a fullsize keyboard. I have it and love it!
