[im a noob at php and mysql. need some advice]

The "}" bracket on line 46 looks odd to me, are you sure it should be there?

The code is very hard to get a proper overview of, as long as you use that many if statements and when they are nested like that.

What editor are you using when coding? If you are using an editor with syntax coloring and which shows linenumbers it really helps out when debugging the code. For Windows I can recommend Notepad++: http://notepad-plus.sf.net/

[Suggestion: Open source game for the LAN party?]

I would also suggest Warsow as a game which could be played - open source too: http://www.warsow.net/

[What's your favorite source code editor?]

I use Notepad++ on Windows, Kate on Kubuntu and nano in a shell.

[im a noob at php and mysql. need some advice]

Look at line 40 in register.php, you end the if statement with the "}" even though you continue to pour in data. The "} else..." part is on line 45, so I guess you should just remove the "}" on line 40.

[Creating MD5 hashes in Windows]

You could check out muCommander, it's not exactly a MD5 creating program, but it lets you select a list of files, and then generate a checksum file with either MD4, MD5, SHA*, etc. hashing. Just go to File -> Generate checksum when you have selected the files you want.

[Hak5's plan for HD]

Wow, I just checked the manual. The protocol is extensively documented, so there is a basis for geeking it out a bit around how it's controlled. You could probably also just make a PHP script which uses sockets to control it through, if you wanted :)

[Hak5's plan for HD]

I sounds nice to have the video digital all the way through the system, at least from the cameras. I hope that this also will improve the quality of the screens on the computers, so you don't have to use the zoom function which doesn't seem to be as smooth for you to use :)

What kind of protocol is used for communicating with the mixer over ethernet? Is it proprietary?

[Hak5 gear]

oh and i was wondering can you talk to jinx about making the shirts in bigger sizes cause I ware a 4xL and jinx dont have them that big so i cant buy them. im 6'5 370lbs so i need a bigger shirt

Do they have anything in 4xL? I just looked around a bit and I couldn't find anything in that size, so it doesn't seem to be restricted to Hak5. Maybe you should try to contact Jinx about it directly?

[Domains you have bought using the hak5 godaddy coupon]

Why?

[Hak5 & Revision 3 FTW or FTL?]

Hak5 is now twice weekly...

That's not correct. It was only for the first week here, due to the 4x01 episode was to be out on the 8th (for some reason), and all episodes thereafter are released on wednesdays. The coming weeks there will only be one release per week.

[seasons]

but there wont be one anymore so is season 4 the last season or will there be an episode number or something?

Are you sure that they won't have a season break at some time? Have the crew said anything about that at any time?

[Arrivals Hak5 Berlin Meetup]

That second pic is not you pwning a big ad screen..... is it?

That is Windows rebooting in 30 seconds (i think) due to Windows updates...

[Subtitules in espanish]

I think you meant to use "Subtítulos" instead of "submarino"

Orly? :D

[Putty client]

Something I do that is kinda lame but gets me by on Windows is to setup a batch file to launch PuTTy. It let's me do Start > Run > ssh x.x.x.x

Hey, check out Launchy together with putty-launcher-plugin, it basically does the same but gives you more possibilities, and lets you set up more things, like the window opened should be maximized.

When I need to SSH to something I just press Alt+Space (in order to activate Launchy) and then type ssh [tab] and then I can press "t", it will then suggest "tenzer.dk" as that is set up as a saved session in PuTTY. I can also type ssh [tab] hostname.com 222, if I'm connecting to a server I don't have in my saved sessions, and define the port number at the same time.

[php, apache problem....please help should be easy!]

First off, check that PHP is running correctly on the server, if you haven't checked that already. It can be done by making a phpinfo file, which simply contains:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Regarding the missing error messages, it may also be due to display_errors is set to off in the php.ini file. You should check that as well.

If that isn't the case either, then check Apache's error log. It may be due to some module behaving badly, and in that case it will be logged there.

[Hak5 Sticker Pictures!]

Are there any stickers left????!!!!!!!

Darren mentioned in the last Hak5 live show that he had to order some more stickers, so I guess he can get them produced according to the demand.

[Putty client]

If you use PuTTY that much, you may be lucky to find something else useful in this list of 12 PuTTY addons: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/08/turboc...re-for-geeks-3/

[Episode 4x01]

I've grown quite fond of the Oktoberfest and Dark versions of Beck's. Stick around I think you in particular will enjoy the...

While reading that last sentence, I was expecting you to mention some crazy booze or something like that, but instead it's just "sysadmin stuff coming up" :/

[hak5 veterans...]

I believe that I started watching around 1x01 or 1x02 :)

[I'm bringing this to the Darrens and attention]

From "Other female"

...

~"The other female"

Please don't catch on to that name, musicalpigs is much better and far more original ;)

[Episode 4x01]

Was the whole ep being 15fps intentional or was that related to the composite cable issues? Other rev3 shows appear to be 29.97fps if you're interested. 15 just looks too artificial.

I noticed that too, it's a shame.

Btw. the beers you had around didn't always point the sticker towards the camera, you should probably fix this in future episodes, in order to please the sponsor more ;)

[OpenBSD firewall rules]

I doubt that there is a program directly designed for OpenBSD firewalling, but can't you just set up some virtual machines, and then play with them?

[currently playing]

My games right now are Warsow and recently Racedriver: GRID. A FPS and a simulation racing game.

[If you go to Rev3 you won't be able to...]

Ok, speaking of doing segments, any chance of doing something with the iPhone 3G? This thing is marvelous, but yet nobody has really featured anything on it...

Haven't we heard enough about that already? ;)

[Google Chrome]

in the old days, that was called forking a process, apache used to run that way. threading was invented with the intent of being more efficient and using less resources. this is really nothing new at all.

It is new in browser context.

so, V8 does the JS VM, Webkit does the render engine and google takes all the credit for not adding a menubar and reintroducing fork();

V8 was developed in at a Google office in Århus, Denmark, so of course they should take the credit for it. I'm unsure if they hired other people to make it for them, or if it was Google employers who did it.

when you consider that the really hard work was done by others (webkit is mostly apple engineers, and no osx version?) and the vastness of googles resources in both manpower and cash, then this duct taping of other people's work under their brand is not really as impressive as the firefox or ie efforts.

A Linux and Mac version is in the making, and I don't have anything against Google for not having them available now, after all the entire "launch" was very rushed, and it wasn't planned to be out when it came it, from what I read out of this post:

As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome.

That means that they decided to release the Windows versions of Chrome as they were sort of ready, when the news came out, instead of leaving us waiting in days, weeks, months or whatever for the first hands on the browser.
