    Well you don't need assembly to do that.... scripting would suffice.

     

    I'm not sure what exactly you want. You want to make something that generates a list of input names, in alphabetical order?

     

    You should look into Python or (judging by your avatar, you are on Linux) shell scripting. Ether should do that task with minimal work. *buntu has Python in it's repos, so just install it from there.

     

    What is this for?

    I've always liked "Malik". I have had a few characters by that name in RPs. It's middle-eastern but I got it from Dinotopia.

     

    http://www.babynamesworld.com/ is a good place to look (I use it to name made up people whenever the need arises :biggrin:)

     

    I guess it would depend on the family name. Some good first names just don't sound right with some last names.

    Perhaps one of the best sites I know is Getting Down With XHTML.

     

    Don't let the X scare you, it's just a newer version of HTML. If you pardon the cheesy title, the site is actually very good. It complies with the internet standards that are set by w3c and gives you a head start with CSS, which invisionfree also uses.

     

    If you want me to check out your site layout and stuff I'd me more than happy to give you a few pointers!

     

    XHTML is best. If you don't use it, you risk incompatibility and other problems.

    I never see anything and I even have a very wide vision range (maybe too wide... I can hide the fact I am looking at people/things very easy).

     

    However, I do think I have predicted the future a number of times in dreams, only I don't normally realize it until after the event has happened (sometimes I can think back though and remember I had a dream about it, but I never realize it until after it has happened or when it is happening). Proof of this being true is once it happened, and I knew what was going to happen next for a split second, and it happened.

    Someone CALLED ME OVER TO THEIR HOUSE, to take out a cordless phone from it's wrapping. And I almost broke it (I am partcialy a professional box-opener B)).

     

    And it's worth noting that most meds that are sealed in “child proof containers” are easily opened by the child, and no one else.

    Just my luck! I put this thing on EBAY and they pulled it today because they won't sell anything connected with hate symbols or discrimination! I have to figure out a different way to word it I guess.

    That's just dumb. Ebay just lost my respect.

    You can sell German WWII military items on EBay. I think it is a matter of describing it as being German rather than being Nazi.

    Running Firefox won't solve the problem. In fact, MSIE 6 Sp2 (which you get when you upgrade Windows XP to Service Pack 2) can now block spyware, so for anyone keeping up with the updates, that point is moot.

     

    A system integrated browser will always be less secure then an independent one. And you must remember; many times in the past MS was thought to have a secure browser. But every time it has been shown there were security holes just not yet discovered.

     

    The difference between firefox security vs. IE security is that firefox only allows safe things (scripts and such), and IE attempts to block unsafe things.

     

    Besides, Spyware can also come in with other programs. Kazaa (filesharing) was notorious for installing a few spyware apps such as Cydoor, Brilliant Projector, and Bonzai Buddy.

     

    True, but the same as one should avoid known insecure browsers, once should avoid known unsafe programs.

     

    It's not that hard to understand that you should avoid running things from unknown/questionable sites REGARDLESS of what a virus scan of the file says. Many viruses and spyware are UNKNOWN by most virus/spyware scanners.

     

     

    And reinstalling windows XP IS very easy (unlike some other windows and other OSes), all you need to do is put in the CD, turn off the computer, turn it back on and do what it says.

    Yeah, but unfortunetly a lot of people haven't had a clean install, and a lot have used other less secure browsers.

     

    There are some thing that only a disk format will fix. I would recommend reinstalling windows at least every year under heavy use, as the registry will become full of junk and windows files will become corrupted; resulting in the computer running slower, crashing and maybe even take a major dive.

     

    Windows is NOT a stable, secure or easy to fix OS.

     

    I have always been under the understanding that a heavily used hardrive needs to be formatted about every two years. No matter what OS you are using. That is why a regular backup is a good idea.

     

    It was that way with older file systems (FAT*), but with most now it will outlive the drive itself as long as it is not corrupted. It can also be repaired via defrag and disk-check to a point.

    I am well aware of that, but it happens to be the most commonly used OS. So until either Microsoft produces a better OS (ha!) or something else becomes more widely used

     

    It goes for all OSes to tell you the truth, just some last longer.

     

    Most problems people attribute to viruses and spyware; yet never seem to find said spyware, are really caused by system degeneration.

     

    I had an old computer that every 6 months would totally lock you out of windows. It added a password; but never told you said password and it was impossible to find/crack it; as there was still no password.
