Sure you should be able to transfer the license... remains to be seen if this was allowed originally or not.

Beside you will find all sorts of tutorials on the web as C# is one growing language (not like others which are shrinking), it takes me a whole day to produce a tutorial like that. So I may do a second one, but I shall really see some interest about it. Also I would like to have some input about what you want to see as next one in case.

Indeed he didn't answered, but that still doesn't put the code under public domain. In the worse case (where he will never answer) it will be impossible to purchase new licenses, but you will still not be allowed to copy / share the engine.

Ok I created a demo account: Username: testme Password: demo (as it is not possible to have the same username and password). - I don't like to login just after registering. While not enter directly? - I don't like to be forced to click on the vote while login in. - The look is under par. - I don't see the story under. - User interfaces like for the training are not... really user friendly. Beside that I like the change of context from a normal "mafia" game.

While registering: Notice: Undefined index: gamenr in /home/civilian/public_html/empire/registration.php on line 49 and impossible to create an account. So not a good start.

50$ for a really custom ad banner is certainly not expensive. Of course you could find some kid doing it for much less but don't expect custom art on it ;) And... graphic design (true one) is not cheap. As true custom development too... even if here it seems different.

Well some times it could be useful to have somebody doing the researches for you. But certainly not simple one, and the results must be somehow reported within a good document. Yet, I doubt you will do that for 10$ and I doubt you will get that many customers here. :D

Simply the script tries to access something which is not there. So either you check with isset or you remove the notice report (to be placed at the beginning of the script): error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

As I work for a research institute I can tell you that 2TB is NOTHING. We have systems which have a lot more than that, and yes we do need it. However, for most users it is indeed way too big and it starts to be marketing to simply have bigger and bigger disks as the usage doesn't grow that fast. Now for FAT32, the theoretical max size is of 8TB however Microsoft limited the size for windows 95/98 to 32 Gb to force the adoption of NTFS and also due to their 16 bit addressing. Now who use those systems anymore? Don't know...

Ok here you are with a complete tutorial and a complete source: http://garg.web.nowhere-else.org/web/tutorials/ The code works, and allows to browser FTP sites, you may navigate from one directory to the next via double click on the icon. I hope you enjoy it, as overall it took me a lot of time :D

Ok invested 1 hour time and worked on a first steps: Link removed as old... It's in PDF as it's much easier for me to copy / paste images into Word and then simply generate the PDF. This first steps will allow you to create the layout of our application, without even writing a single line of code. Let me know if you manage to get the result or if you have troubles. Once this is done we can continue.

Well as we will pick a standalone GUI based application, I would say you just need this one: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2010-Visual-CS It's free, and contains all what you need: a great IDE, compiler and debugger all in one. If you have the professional version or whatever else version you don't need any thing else. My idea was to build a FTP client which would allow drag / drop operations. What do you think?

Well my spoken english skills are not that great, also I cannot register my voice here, so I would prefer to work on a step by step basis.

Well we would have to decide what kind of "simple" soft we want to try to work on, and with which technology (web, standalone, etc)

Great source of inspiration / information. I made the topic sticky.

C# is a language which has been developed by Microsoft and is now a standard ECMA (like Javascript). Support on Linux and Mac is offered and could be used even on smart phones (iPhone, or others). Now... C# is a great language (don't be fooled by the fact it has been developed by Microsoft) which can be used in nearly all the possible usage. Here is a short list - Windows services - Standalone console applications (linux, mac, windows) - Standalone GUI (linux, mac, windows) - Web development (linux, mac, windows on iis and on apache) - Browser applications like flash (linux weak, mac and windows good) - Smart phone development (windows phones, iphone (released) and android (beta)) But that's not the main point of the language. What really makes the difference is the quality of the code you have (compared to PHP for example) and the HUGE library you may use (either directly offered or the huge number of additional lib / tools / sources you may found on internet). Said all that, who would be interested, for once, to go away from PHP and check together (in a bunch of threads / posts as tutorials) how you do things and what it can do for you? Requirements: mainly run on windows, even if you can develop on Linux or Mac, and then agree to download the development tools (free). So let me know, as I will invest time to write stuff ONLY if there is really some interest.

Of course I agree that #000000 is not #000001 => as the last one is a very dark blue and the first one a pure black, even if you should nearly not see any difference, specially with those LCD screen we all use.

How a zero after the last number after a decimal point will make it any precise? It will have simply NO impact: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_0.10_equivalent_to_0.1 And your examples are rounding, nothing to do with trailing 0... So of course if you round the number it is not the same anymore where you stated originally 0.1 or 0.10 which are 2 identical numbers. Sorry but really here you are wrong ;)

Well indeed it's a lot more important to make your site work. The golden rule of optimization is => do it at the end. Why? Because generally when you optimize you make your code harder to read. Yet of course a bad design will be badly optimized too... For the real effect, it has some noticeable effect, yet again depends of your project.

Dayo: 0.1 is the same as 0.10 or 0.100 etc... The hex code of the color is so build: RR GG BB => Red Green Blue where you have 2 characters (hex number) for each. The numbers are between 0 and 255 (inclusive) where 0 is 00 and 255 is FF then it is simply matter of transforming your decimal number in hexadecimal. Also, 0 is the darkest and 255 is the lightest. You may use this tool to build visually the color or photoshop will do it too ;) http://www.colorsontheweb.com/colorwizard.asp

Sent him an email, let's see if he answer.

Even if the site went down that doesn't mean the script went to the public domain. Therefore for me this script is still a proprietary script even if it is not possible anymore to buy it.

reducing include file or size of the include will indeed speedup the PHP execution, even with some accelerator. Why so? Because PHP is an interpreted language and therefore for each include it will take time, even if an accelerator will help as it normally caches the "pre-parsed" code.

True, table locks are evil, however they are very quick and less resource intensive. Also, before jumping on InnoDB really evaluate the pro and cons, as InnoDB is not the best solution in all cases and will actually less features in some departments like backups. What you could do is to try to convert some tables from MyISAM to InnoDB, the tables which seems to produce the higher number of locks and see if you see an increase in speed.

You don't need that. What you need to do is when you do a select you do it with a left (or right) join where the user table is the main one. Check that: http://engine.nowhere-else.org/article_5.html
