That is one weird controller... The specs aren't too shabby tho Why can't they make home computers like that?

When the file doesn't exist in the destination directory, the code I posted works. When the file does exist in the destination directory, however, then you need to use -o after the alias (ie: copy -o source destination)

/copy c:/path/to/image.ext d:/newpath/image.ext Alternatively, for the lazy person alias cimg { var %a = $sfile(c:,Choose the Image,Copy) copy %a $sdir(d:,Destination) $+ $nopath(%a) } Just type /cimg

Nope, that sort of design doesn't appeal to me. But then, none do for long...

Or even better, don't bother Personally, they're not to my taste. I really don't like huge banners flooding my own script either.

(Tye's) Ftr, if someone leaves the room (kick, quit, etc) wouldn't the room limit need to go down instead of up?

Not what I'd call bad, retiring from scripting. I basically retired some time last year; now I just help out with snippets. I might finish off my last addon some time...

anyone needing that kind of storage for emails should use pop3 accounts imo. At least now Google have provided its users with a much simpler way to transfer CD copies over the internet

Internet Explorer users spent much more time during 2004 with holes in their security pants, compared to securely-clad Firefox users, web consultancy, ScanIT, reckons. The consultancy says Microsoft's IE was "unsafe" for 98 percent of 2004, while rival browser Mozilla was "unsafe" for only 15 percent of the time. The figures come from ScanIT’s free online Browser Security Checker which, the company says, 195,000 surfers used to check their systems for vulnerabilities during the year. The reports suggest that surfers using Mozilla’s Firefox browser enjoyed the shortest "exposure period", where a patch for known vulnerabilities in the browser was unavailable. By comparison, Internet Explorer users were fully protected for just one measly week in the whole twelve-month period - between 12 and 19 October 2004. "This means fully-patched IE was known to be unsafe for an incredible 98 per cent of 2004," said ScanIT's CEO David Michaux. "And for 200 days in 2004 – that’s some 54 per cent of the time - there was a worm or virus exploiting one of those un-patched vulnerabilities," he added. There were only 56 days in 2004 where there was a publicly-known vulnerability – a remote code execution - in Mozilla’s browser and no patch to fix it, ScanIT said. Users of the Opera browser spent 65 days (17 per cent of the year) with their security pants around their virtual ankles, according to ScanIT’s browser checker figures. "Security researchers seem to be more inclined to report Firefox vulnerabilities to the Mozilla development team than IE flaws to Microsoft because of a better general attitude towards them,reckoned Alla Bezroutchko, ScanIT's Senior Security Engineer. "Mozilla’s Bug Bounty Program, which pays users $500 for reporting critical security bugs, is also a major incentive," he added.

You should change the send button to match the colour of the rest of the switchbar (if you're keeping it). Personally, I'd only use one switchbar; you can divide it into separate servers by using main items (ie: branches) in the treeview.

on *:input:#:{ if (/* iswm $1-) && (/me* !iswm $1-) { halt } var %a = 1, %tt = $1- while (%a <= $numtok($1-,32)) { var %tt = $replace($left($gettok(%tt,%a,32),1),$chr(3) $+ $r(0,9) $left($gettok(%tt,%a,32) $+ $chr(15)) inc %a } } I think that's it...

Personally, I use Visual IRC as it has all the features I want, works on any IRC server and I don't bother learning the programming language

Despite previous indications, the upcoming Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) will be available for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 SP1, as well as Windows XP SP2. When Microsoft chairman Bill Gates unveiled the project two weeks ago at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, he stated that the software would become available for Windows XP only. The improved version focuses on security enhancements, but Microsoft has given few details about the product's features. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment on features or technologies in IE7 for this article. However, the browser's development team has shed some light on the software on Microsoft's Internet Explorer blog. "We currently plan to make IE7 available for Windows XP SP2 and later," said a recent posting. This means that the browser will support both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. The blog stopped short of addressing questions about support for Windows 2000 users, although the earlier statements imply that those users will not be able to use the upcoming version because they lack the security enhancements in SP2. Next to XP, Windows 2000 is the version of the operating system with the highest number of deployments, according to Joe Wilcox, a senior analyst with Jupiter Research. Microsoft's decision to limit IE7 to Windows versions that have SP2 makes sense, the analyst told vnunet.com. "Microsoft has already made the decision that the security enhancements [in SP2] would be for XP only. I would expect new features in IE 7 as well, but the foundation is around security," he said. The move also contradicts the largely held belief that Microsoft is speeding up development of IE7 purely as a response to increased competition from open source browser Firefox. Redmond has always maintained that security concerns are the major factor. Microsoft has announced that an IE7 beta will be available in mid-2005. A final version will be released "once IE7 meets the quality standards our customers demand", the company said in an email to vnunet.com. Wilcox expects this to be around the end of 2005 or early next year. ----- Personally, I'd dispise the idea of the update being available to only XP SP2 and up because I refuse to use SP2 - it's more hassle than it's worth. So what if SP2 has a few security updates; Windows (initially) made SP2 completely optional. Although IE is not my default browser it's still run by other programs, such as mIRC and MSN Messenger. Therefore, I prefer to have my IE as secure as possible. If Microsoft are going to restrict any further updates to SP2 and up then I'm switching to either LongHorn or 2003 (not Linux or Mac because they don't support the games I play ). Microsoft, in my opinion, should stop making stupid changes to allow for new Windows users but try and keep the users they already have. As previously stated, Microft has never been no ever will be as easy to use as MACs so they should stop restricting computer-literate users. Windows 2003 was good in that aspect as it was an advancement of 2000 Advanced Server without comprimising anything. SP2 is annoying to me - it blocks safe content that computer-literate people would be aware of anyway, such as stopping downloads unless accepted; downloads have to be accepted anyway!

A good example of version updates is available on Maxthon's history. Maxthon started at v0.1 and is currently on v1.2 with many fixes, additions and updates.

I could comment further but it's too far

Regardless of the script's content, it's only in-chat commands that you would need to change in order to make a script compatible with another server. By that I mean that something like an MP3 player would still work as it has nothing to do with the server itself. On the other hand, a sockwrite kick command or operator commands (+a, +q, etc), for example, would require changing. Universal commands that do not use sockwrites (eg: kick # $nick) would obviously not require changing.

Wish I had time to work on my scripting skills more frequently. Both work and college work are reducing my spare time, which is when I socialise. I should get some done within the week though as my job will be less demanding. ---- The scripts look good but what do the nicklist icons mean?

I'm not a fan of huge banners advertising the script you're using but apart from that it's ok.

On Sunday Intel officially launched five new processors, the Pentium 4 600 series (which includes the 630, 640, 650 and 660 processors) and the Pentium 4 XE at 3.73 GHz. All of Intel's new processors include support for eXecute Disable (XD), AMD's x86-64 (by way of EM64T), Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology (EIST) and 2MB of L2 cache. All are based on the Prescott 2M core. XD is a technology that helps prevent buffer overflow attacks in processors and is also supported by AMD64 processors (called NX), the Pentium 4J, Celeron J and the Itanium 2. EM64T is what Intel calls their implementation of AMD’s x86-64, and EIST is a means for changing the processors speed in order to make it run cooler. Pricing is expected to be $999 (USD) for the XE, $605 for the 660, $401 for the 650, $273 for the 640 and the 630 at $224. Personally, I don't see why they can't just give them all (or at least most) the same name.

PORTLAND, Ore. (Reuters) - Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG - news) has bought 30 acres of land from the Port Authority of The Dalles, Oregon, for a new technology infrastructure facility, the Web's No. 1 search engine said on Thursday. The new facility would be Google's second operations outpost in the Pacific Northwest. Last November, Google opened an office in Kirkland Washington, just a few miles from the headquarters of Microsoft Corp., which recently launched a rival search engine. Full story...

Didn't see it.

Napster Inc. on Wednesday denied what it called "inaccurate statements" on the Internet that the company's new music subscription service had been hacked. "It has come to our attention that there are a number of inaccurate statements posted by various sources on the Internet regarding the security of Napster and Napster To Go," Bill Pence, Napster's chief technology officer, said in the statement released Wednesday. "As Napster's CTO, I would like to officially state that neither Napster To Go, Napster, nor Windows Media DRM have been hacked." Full story...

Microsoft Corporation will release a new version of Internet Explorer, the world's most widely-used Internet browsing software, with new built-in security features, Chairman Bill Gates said on Tuesday. In a speech at a major security conference here, Gates said Internet Explorer 7.0, with new anti-spyware features, will be released for preliminary testing this summer. The move comes three years after Microsoft, the world's biggest software company, launched a major initiative to improve the reliability and security of its software, which runs on about 90 percent of all personal computers. ---- Personally, I don't think that it will differ greatly from 6.0, with most current anti-IE users continuing to use Firefox, Maxthon, etc.

Personally I use mIRC to remotely control Winamp as mIRC isn't surround sound compatible. There's a very small amount of MP3 players that are (and free)

Just modify the coding below to suit your player then just use a normal sclick event. icon 1, x y W H, thisfile.ico, 0 I'm 90% sure that works but if not, the way I did the last MP3 player I made was to use the cursor's co-ords. The dialog was a single picture though.
