Er... Good luck with that...

Why would I need an XP recovery disc when I already got XP the complete CD, CD's work in DVD's don't they? If they don't I need to know how to copy it to a USB Hard Drive, My music CD's work in the tv's DVD.

Because the recovery disc should also contain XP drivers for all the hardware in the machine.

Good thinking, I'll send them an email.

I didn't think of that, they say they enclose all discs boxes cables that comes with the hardware, and I got separate discs for drivers for this thing.

Got the first yesterday while at my web-host using firefox which crashed, and the second my be the first, but I was looking at my webpage.

I've never understood the idea of backing up files after a virus is detected, mine are backed up on a regular basis.

Do you know of a free javascript editor; I've spent all day trying to get free preloaders to work, couldn't so wrote my own, and it didn't appear to work.

Put IE up and thought I'd have a look at the preloader and it worked, all the others probably did aswell.

"Do you know of a free javascript editor"

Notepad?

Got notepad, and firebug, but they aint any good. You run the code and it doesn't do what is expected, looking in firebug, it tells you it just don't work, image.complete isn't recognised in firefox, stick it up on the web with a fix for firefox and find it worked all the time.

What a waste of a day, one of those free ones was an OOP program and looked great, but I'm not doing it all again.

My pc is in production, they are just waiting for a phenom cpu.

They started making the pc today Good job because my pc has started making those chilling noises, and I forgot to say, the reason the wires are not caught in the cpu fan is because I didn't like to admit that...there aint no fan.

I'm giving up this javascript lark, this time my apache server won't start. I re-installed and it still don't start. This is in the error log, the last entry.

[Thu Sep 04 01:10:52 2008] [notice] Parent: Received shutdown signal -- Shutting down the server.

But Javascript is a client-side language; the server serves it up as plain text. If your server is breaking it can't be the fault of Javascript.

It took ages to get a program to work, all the time it was a problem with syntax. For a timer to work in a program with a user defined object as in this case to simplify the passing of parameters, different syntax for the timer has to be used.eg instead of setTimer(function,milisec) it is

this.setTimer(referenceFunction,milisec,Object,ParameterArray,unknownObject)

I couldn't find out what the last parameter did but it's not needed anyway.

Since it took a long time I put the working model up as is, and when I go to clean it up nothing, blank page because the server has gone down. It wears you out spending all day fixing that,which is now working again after including it in an exceptions list in my security.

I'll try the javascript again a bit later.

Is mathematics secret. You might get that impression from the many explanations in notational shorthand. But it is re-enforced when I find a page in-between my page and the page I'm on in the BBC discouraging me not to proceed.

Did you know 'A' level A grade students in 1994 mostly couldn't answer this 'o' level question.

Imagine a circle divided into quadrants. All the radii are 4 units. A chord is drawn with a perpendicular line bisecting one of the radii. The circle its quadrants and an area bounded by a chord are displayed on the test paper.

Where the perpendicular and hence parallel to the opposite diameter line 2 units from the centre cuts the circle defines an area, and the area of the segment bounded by the chord and circumference is the area wanted.

Only 5% could answer this 'o' level question; 35 years ago this was 'o' level and things are even worse now.

So why the warnings not to proceed to my site eh.

Er... 42?

'o' level should be elementary level, not easy level. Some science undergraduates were asked to add 1/a+1/b, they couldn't do it, but what's different now' (to the recent past where they were equally as bad), when shown how to; they either can't or refuse to believe the truth in the method shown.

When I did 'o' level, it included differentiation, systems of equations in more than two variables ect. GCSE should at least be challenging and where I can get 100% on a GCSE paper doing it in my head even with a brain injury, I at least have to put pen to paper to answer the above question.

And in the past you had to have 'o' level maths to get on any degree course.

PC starting up even worse now; hard drive light on during start up to crash, cd burner light on until I restart again, and corrupted files on start meaning yet another restart.

They still aint done that pc.

They changed my order, and replaced blue orb II with mini orb, and how long does it take to make a pc.

Well, it goes to assembly and 35mins later it's in testing, then back to assembly
