Need Help with osCommerce

Hello, my name is Justin, and I work with EastCoastAirsoft.com. I have a question regarding subcategories. If you check out the site, you'll see there are many main categories, and then subcategories listed beneath them. I would like to know how you can selectively hide subcategories for certain categories. They need to be completely hidden, so that search engines couldn't see them, as this is for SEO purposes. This seems like such a simple issue, but I see no way to deal with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Just put them under hidden div like <div style="visibility:hidden"> but this is nothing to do with SEO because if you are trying to fool the SE by showing different content to user and bots you are getting into areas where you can have lots of problems

I don't want to fool the search engines, I want to show the same thing to both users and engines, and that is nothing. Will the hidden DIV class hide those links from search engines AND users? I'm mainly concerned about the search engines, if it's hidden from users but not engines, then there's a problem. Thanks for the help, though!

You can do that with the visibility hidden div

I'm afraid the links are not set up in a such a way that you can hardline any code into it like that. If it's there, it is very well hidden. If anybody could tell me where these links are located, that would be great. Or, if you have another solution, that is equally great. Thank you!

Saw the preview a couple of times - looked very good, almost magical.
Just assumed that since the previews showed a young boy, animals, special effects 3-D viewing options etc., this was a "kids movie" - NOT
Seriously, I won't recommend this film for anyone under 6th grade (and maybe older). Lots of scary themes and footage. Kid loses his family to drowning, animal on animal violence, beating of a fish for food and more.
Having said that, this movie was TERRIFIC. Extremely well made, fabulous imaginative story told so well. Famous acting (by young man and animals alike) and more . Probably the latter was computer derived. Simply beautifully filmed.
This movie had no business being marketed as 3-D - folks save your $5 bucks. Go see the regular version.
Basically the story of a boy Pi (back story on his biological 1st name is great) and his survival on a boat with a bengal tiger in the middle of the ocean.
This was a very, very well done film and no doubt a better fit for teens and up. Adults will love it. A big screen must see.

STORRS — For about the first 30 minutes of action Sunday, it appeared as though UConn, not Stony Brook, was the team that had played the day before and ferried from Long Island to Connecticut Sunday morning.
Then, the Huskies caught fire from 3-point land.
Starting with Shabazz Napier's 3-pointer with 10:45 left, the Huskies' next eight field goals were all from beyond the arc — including a rare four-point play by Napier. That was enough to overcome an otherwise sloppy effort and give No. 21 UConn a 73-62 win over the Seawolves before 8,474.
The Huskies (5-1) wound up shooting 73 percent (8-for-11) from 3-point land in the latter half and canned 10 for the game, their most since knocking down 11 against Florida State almost exactly a year ago (Nov. 26, 2011).
"We've got people that can shoot the 3," said freshman Omar Calhoun, who hit three of them Sunday, all in the latter half. "Three's always more than two. We were able to hit some 3's today and expand the lead a little bit. It was a tough game. They came out and played hard, but we were able to hit tough shots and expand the lead."
Napier finished with 19 points, Niels Giffey 15 (to go with eight rebounds) and Calhoun 14. Ryan Boatright added nine points and seven assists and Tyler Olander and DeAndre Daniels netted eight apiece.
"The first half, we couldn't make a shot, and they were just out-toughing us," said UConn coach Kevin Ollie. "The second half, we came out and played better. We rebounded, we got out on the break and we just started making a lot of 3's … I haven't seen this team shoot like this in a while."
Neither had Stony Brook head coach (and former UConn player and assistant coach) Steve Pikiell.
"They got on a run and made 3's," he said. "I didn't expect that. That's not what they've been doing. I thought we could score in the post against them. I may have overestimated our big guys." Continued...
The Seawolves, who beat Canisius at home a little over 24 hours earlier, fell to 4-2.
The Huskies missed 11 of their first 12 shots, trailed almost the entire first half and by seven early in the second and appeared sluggish throughout. Then, UConn went 3-point crazy.
A Giffey trey with 9:38 left capped a 10-0 Husky run, and after Stony Brook closed to within four (45-41), Calhoun (twice), Napier and Giffey matched Stony Brook baskets with 3-pointers. Napier closed out the impressive long-distance performance by knocking down a try while being fouled and hitting the free throw, giving the Huskies a 61-47 lead.
"I think it was Ryan Boatright's penetration a couple of times, pitched out to me and Omar, Shabazz, too," Giffey said. "That's what's going to happen. We've got a bunch of real good point guards, they can just break other people down. If they (need) help, our shooters are going to be there."
Ollie heaped praise on Giffey, who does a little bit of everything but doesn't always have the statistics to show for it.
"Niels Giffey was my MVP, and he's been my MVP this whole year," Ollie said. "He plays every possession. Every cut is hard. Every drill, there's never any moaning, 'Coach is practicing too long,' never any of that stuff. It's, 'What do I need to do? Once I do it, what else you got for me, Coach? What assignments you got for me? Let me play the toughest offensive man.' If it's two minutes, if it's 40 minutes, I get the same thing from him. I get the effort, the enthusiasm and the energy. That's every day, whether we practice at 7 a.m. or after Thanksgiving, I get the same thing from him. That's what I love about him … You get rewarded in life if you act like that."
♦ After beating Canisius on Saturday, Stony Brook stayed the night on campus then ferried across the Long Island Sound Sunday morning and bussed to UConn.
Why did the Seawolves play games in successive days? Well, they were originally slated to play UConn on Nov. 13, but got a chance to play an ESPN game at Rider on that day. The only date they could switch it to was Sunday, which the Seawolves agreed to in a chance to get in another TV game (SNY).
"It wears on you a little bit," Pikiell said. "Hopefully, it will help us when we move into our conference tournament. Playing back-to-back nights, this is the only time we do it." Continued...

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Whether it's new construction or upgrades, more and more homes now have solar panels. They save money and look nice, but they also present a new challenge for firefighters.
That's why members of the Fayetteville Fire Department took part in special training Tuesday. They were invited in by a local homeowner to get some hands on experience. The owner of CNY Solar was also there to lay out the facts about the product. Two of the biggest takeaways from training: cutting through the roof of a house isn't an option if there are solar panels, and shutting off the power to the house doesn't mean the panels are powered down.
"Can they step on a panel? Can they move the panels? And what can they take down? So, with some of it, some of the pipes can be hot on the inside. If you shut it off down in basement, it's still live on the roof," said Justin Williams, CNY Solar owner.
"Knowledge is power. So, the more we know about them, the more we know how to deal with them. We're now more comfortable with how to disconnect the power to make sure we're all operating safely," said Jansen Casscles, Fayetteville Fire Lieutenant.
The owner of CNY Solar said it's the first time he's even taken part in training for firefighters.

Roofing maintenance is very important so that you can make sure your roof lasts as long as possible. In order to properly maintain your roof, you do need to know your roofing enemies. And believe it or not, your roof has many enemies that can compromise its performance. However, regular inspections and maintenance can combat these enemies so that your roof lasts as long as possible.
Here are some of the Minnesota roofing enemies that you may have to contend with on a regular basis:
• Sun roof damage – Over time, the heat and UV rays from the sun can lead to deterioration of your roof. This can occur faster on the sides of the roof that are facing the South or the West.
• Wind roof damage – High winds can lift the edges of the shingles or other roofing material and cause water and debris to be pushed below them. Extremely high winds can cause the shingles to blow completely off and even break.
• Rain roof damage – When water gets under your roofing material, it can make its way to the roof deck and cause the deck to rot. This can lead to extensive leaking and even more damage to your home.
• Snow and ice roof damage – Ice dams occur when melting snow refreezes at the roof's overhang. This keeps the roof from draining properly into the gutter. Water can then back up under the shingles and this can cause damage to the roof deck.
• Moss and algae roof damage – When wood shingles and shakes stay moist, moss can grow. Once it grows, even more moisture is held on the roof, which can cause rotting. Algae may also grow in these shaded areas of wood shingles, but can also grow on asphalt shingles. Algae creates a black-green stain and can then lead to rot. It is ideal to trim back trees and any other vegetation that may be close to your roof to reduce this.
• Condensation roof damage – when the air is warm and full of moisture, condensation can build up. The way to prevent condensation from ruining your roof is to have a properly ventilated attic to blow out the hot air that can lead to condensation.
• Trees and leaves roof damage – When you have trees near your roof, debris from the trees can fall onto your roof and cause damage. Leaves can also fall into your gutters and clog them, causing water to backup.
• Shingle deterioration roof damage – The natural wear and tear of shingles is also an enemy. However, there is nothing that can be done about this since shingles do have a lifespan.
Knowing the facts about your roofing enemies will also help you to make responsible roof buying decisions. Knowing the enemies will also help you determine when you need to call a Minnesota roof inspector to inspect your roof. This should be done in the spring and fall anyway because you are preparing for the winter and summer and also taking care of damage that these two seasons inflicted upon your roof.

Johannes Kepler was born in Weil der Stadt in southwest Germany. His paternal grandfather, Sebald Kepler, was a respected craftsman who served as mayor of the city; his grandfather was an innkeeper and mayor of the nearby village.
In 1601 Johannes Kepler became the imperial mathematician to Rudolf II (emperor of the Holy Roman Empire), succeeding Tycho Brahe. Kepler supported the heliocentric theory by Nicolas Copernicus, defending it in his first major work, Mysterium Cosmographicum (1596).
"Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer, and key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution. He is best known for his eponymous laws of planetary motion and his works Astronomia nova, Harmonices Mundi, and the Somnium..."
As well as formulating the first Universal Laws and correctly describing the universe in terms of science and math - Polymath Johnan Kepler knocked up a huge list of firsts in a range of fields. Take a look...

Johannes Kepler's stance on science and religion and church and math is illustrated here with a variety of quotes from the genius mathematician and astronomer.
Hear a middle school student, Thomas Covington, interview a Johannes Kepler about his early years and his schooling in Weil der Stadt. New Kepler also discusses the current astronomical beliefs of 1590 and 1605 for the Year of Astronomy website.
In 1611, Kepler proposed that the closest sphere packing has a maximum density of pi/(3sqrt(2)) approx 74%). This assertion is known as the Kepler conjecture Listen to Simon Singh describe it in this BBC Radio 4 program
"The main purpose of this recording is to present Kepler's Harmony of the World for a period of several centuries, beginning with his birth date, 27 December 1571."

Any of You thinking of EMIGRATION?
Thats IT enough already ....I am just an ordinary LAW ABIDING guy aint we all who reside on this forum.
I am ..thinking of emigration. The real mgtow
EXODUS. I cant beat the system so I have no option LEAVE:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYjnMfgzgcM"]YouTube - the great scape[/ame]
Any of you where to though?
Its my aim to leave the British Isles inwithin a year for somewhere with:
Less nanny state (feminism)
No fanatical religions
Healthy quieter way of life - no rat race.
Somewhere people just respect one another
Is that utopian. Would Africa fit it Belize Mexico?
Japan? Where?
Any thoughts any onefeminism is a disease the Doc is working on a cure. Symptoms include compulsive liar, constant aggression, allergic to logic, often affects women who are fat with short hair and big earings, but can be normal looking.
Reason tablets three taken daily. If the sufferer displays shaming tactics double the dose. Remarkably the illness disappears in disaster zones.

Re: Any of You thinking of EMIGRATION?
Japan comes to mind, but if you are not Japanese you'll never really be accepted there.
Bits and pieces of Latin America also.
But really, most places are infected with the same disease at this point. Sure, some countries have a worse strain of it than others, but the disease is still there mostly everywhere outside the Islamic world.

Re: Any of You thinking of EMIGRATION?
Gee, look for resources from other British expats that decided it was better to just leave than
enter into the hallowed halls of Parliament (Guy Fawkes comes to mind).
I've run into several "yachties" around the (formerly) British Virgin Islands that called themselves tax refugees, and seemed to be willing to pay exorbitant prices for
"traditional" comforts in parts of the world where they don't have to learn a foreign language,
adopt foreign cultures, and can retain the illusion of elite status amongst "islanders".
I understand that (with the appropriate introduction) one can buy an instant citizenship/passport/ship's flag from the "governor" of Antigua for about US$60,000 . Very quiet banking laws that attract "off shore" business, tax evaders of "the peerage" class, and other wholesale "discouraged commodities" trade folk.
But that was about 10 years ago.
Know how to sail? Got a boat?

Re: Any of You thinking of EMIGRATION?
Is this right? I always heard that the Japanese were a very welcoming and friendly bunch; truly, I have never heard a bad word said about living in Japan, especially in this sort of context. Everything I've experienced about Oriental women is positive.
My problem is that I'm only attracted properly to white women; which leaves only Europe, America and Australasia, which represent limited hope. Within this lot, I'd say Eastern Europe is probably the best bet; Russia perhaps being one of the safest bets within this group. However, if you want somewhere WARMER than the UK, then the south of France springs to mind, and possibly Italy; still feministic, but better than here. I've half-heartedly toyed with the idea of France, but any language barrier is off-putting to me, as I never did take to foreign languages (French was my worst subject, in school).
Guess I'm stuck on this feminised island!

Its either emigrate or stagnate ..Pirates yep I know they exist I know that the world is a dangerous place. If you retreat to the wilds though wild animals are vicious and dangerous but not treacherous. I am an avid fan of Ray Mears. The way things are going it would be prudent to take notes...
I am weary of the materialism and the 9-5 drudge .
Someone suggested becoming a monk.
The celibacy I can just about cope with giving up booze would be harder.
I have to have realism about it all what is depressing is the long list of western nations that are socialistic and therefore feministic.
I cant think of one English speaking nation or one European country that is not stifled with commissars and nannyish interference quotas pc workplaces etc etc. time do do some research...feminism is a disease the Doc is working on a cure. Symptoms include compulsive liar, constant aggression, allergic to logic, often affects women who are fat with short hair and big earings, but can be normal looking.

Re: Any of You thinking of EMIGRATION?
I recently read an article about Japan running out of engineers. One of the solutions that was discussed was importing engineers from abroad. The main problem with this, apart from the language barrier, was the strong ethnocentric attitude of the Japanese. That's why some companies moved their R & D facilities out of the country in stead.
- 21st-June-2008 #7
Re: Any of You thinking of EMIGRATION?
Quite a bit of racism in Japan, actually, directed against caucasians and africans. Language barrier is one thing, but the cultural barrier is significant. There are pockets of greater acceptance, but the people I've known who have lived in Japan have said that even if you get Japanese friends, you are always a "gai-jin" (foreigner). You'll never really be one of them, simply because you are not Japanese. The women are beautiful, in my opinion!
Within this lot, I'd say Eastern Europe is probably the best bet; Russia perhaps being one of the safest bets within this group.
However, if you want somewhere WARMER than the UK, then the south of France springs to mind, and possibly Italy; still feministic, but better than here.

Re: Any of You thinking of EMIGRATION?
To increase your odds think about the Far East. To increase the odds yet again think Japan. You need a working holiday visa and then a company will give you a visa to stay longer.
Polling shows tha Japanese women will marry western men with less money as a group.
Yet it is no winfall. I once got into an argument with a guy who said that Asian women aren't better. I said to him that you still must find a traditional girl from a good family who respects her family etc. I said you can't go to Asia and marry a whore and get a better situation. This New Zealand bloke said, "Yea, I had married a Vietnam whore and had a evil time." Hmm....
dyslexic_banana: My problem is that I'm only attracted properly to white women; which leaves only Europe, America and Australasia, which represent limited hope. Within this lot, I'd say Eastern Europe is probably the best bet; Russia perhaps being one of the safest bets within this group.
Western men have problems in there choices too, as they watch porn that sets their tastes for them (Pavro's Dog), yet these same men think western women are stupid for following the consumerist culture. Yet you may be following it too, as you want a blonde hair blue-eyed big bossom girl etc. The hair is often dyed, the eyes could be contacts, and the big tits get saggy or can be fake! Wow you can't even get a looker these days.
Keep your catch in her own country, and she won't learn the attention whore culture. Asian women are cleaner in my books, have better skin and longer hair, have younger looking bodies well into their 40s. They are all less fat by large numbers, and most important of all have a better brain. This is all generalizing of course. Yet only a fool doesn't increase the odds.
Most men can't take the jump. They want to stay where they are, marry something that the porn has made them desire, and still long to convince yet another bad women that they are really a nice guy. This is why so many of you keep sweetening up to these trolls that come on, as you lock horns with other men so easily.
Get a good wife and then you won't need to hold your fire with women, and keep up your fire with men as you compete for the trolls affections.
Yet once you get a good wife you better not give up the cause, or you are just a dishonoarble SOB.

Re: Any of You thinking of EMIGRATION?
My brother and I have been scoping out Latin America.
There are points of feminist infection there...any of the places that have experimented with Marxism and Costa Rica has become Americanized...but where the predominant religion is old school pre-Vatican two Roman Catholic...divorce and abortion have not been trivialized to the level of a haircut. Also in Latin America very few people tend to trust the government more than they trust their own relatives, so family values remain strong...
But here is the winning point for me....with the exception of Mexico City homosexuality is still illegal.
I hold no animosity toward male gays...in fact drag shows are one of my favourite forms of entertainment and I would miss several of my gay friends...but what comes in the package with gay tolerance is that the likes of Rosie O'Donnell become policy pundits.....THAT I would not miss at all...in fact THAT consideration, more so than WINTER, makes Latin America attractive to me.
Now before I get any knee jerk reactions about how it is politically verboten to disparage gays in any way shape or form do this...
Consider the term "misandry"
Consider the women who have been the most notorious for promoting it
What do they all have in common?

Re: Any of You thinking of EMIGRATION?
Yeah to me gay men are invisible. They do not really try to interfere in hetero relations. And the TVs/TSs are sometimes very cute. But the lesbians, these are the ones who are trying actively to undermine hetero relations, and that is the issue. It's not the gay men, as much as we may find them repulsive, it's the lesbians, because the gays dont care how straight men interact with women, whereas lesbians take a keen interest in how straight women interact with men ... in part because they want to recruit more lesbians.

You can run but you can't hide.
Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum
Love the Sinner but not the Sin.
(St. Augustine)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
(and within ourselves)
(Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)
A Feminist is a human being who has lost her way and turned vicious.
If you meet one on the road as you Go your Own Way,
offer kindness but keep your sword drawn.

Level 3 Studios Photo Shoot
After two weeks of dying to actually pick through these photos, I finally found the time this past weekend. My schedule has been ridiculously busy, and as such my blog updates have suffered; that precious buffer I had going: gone!
Anyway, this batch of photos is from my first photo shoot, which I did at Level 3 Studios with a bunch of friends. This was a great first experience in a photo shoot scenario, but also very daunting and intimidating. I'd love to do it again, but I might need some more ideas before I go into that.
Because I was rushed, I never had the chance to do any major photo manipulation with these, and I think a fair number of these will look better after some simple changes, such as a grey scale or sepia tone added to them. I'd love to do that to a selection of them and upload them later.
As per usual, I really appreciate your comments. Post a comment below; I read all of them, I promise!
February 1 Photography Update
Well, more photos! I have had people breathing down my neck for me to put these up, and I've finally given in. Because this week's update spans almost two weeks, I've got almost 50 photos here (48, to be exact), ranging from the hoar frost we had a while back, to the Black & White Swing Thing, to Oldies Night at the Legion.
As per usual, I really appreciate your comments. Post a comment below; I read all of them, I promise!
January 18 Photography Update
The latest batch of photos is in. This time, all are from this past week's Legion, where we got a great turnout. I was able to try out using my flash in slave mode, where it gets controller by a 580EX II which is mounted on my camera. Overall, I think I got some great shots this week, including one or two I'm considering getting prints made of (such as #11, the one of Sylvia & Kiral).
I also did a bit of shooting last night in my room with my macro lens of a plant I have. I love some of the colors that came out of the shots, and I included two at the end of the gallery.
Hope you enjoy, and feel free as always to comment below.
January 16 2010 Photography Update
Over the past week, UMSwing has had a recruitment table up in an attempt to get new members interested in the club. During that time, we do a lot of dancing (a couple hours a day), hoping that some people will be impressed by it. We think it's working, but we'll have to wait until the open house to see.
As always, I welcome your comments. Add a comment below!
An Exploration Into Using An Off-Camera Flash
Recently, I bought a set of Cactus V2 remote flash triggers off of a friend for my camera. These allow me to use a flash off-camera, which can give me a number of different lighting effects based upon position and intensity. I've been trying them out a lot so I can get a grasp on how to use them, and it's been an interesting experience. Below I've got a few sample photos, as well as some of my learning experiences.
The first photo I ever took with an off-camera flash was of my living room. Needless to say, my first shot was not impressive. It wasn't even good. Hell, it's barely worth posting, but it was a step forward. I was learning, and also testing the triggers to make sure they actually worked. If nothing else, I was really interesting at this point with some of the potential effects that I'd be able to do with it.
As with anything, practice makes perfect, and despite the rather bland first photo, I stuck with it, trying a number of different effects. I looked around my house for things to photograph that might make for some interesting photos, particularly with some different lighting. An improvement came when I took a photo of a decorative house and Christmas scene that my mom had set up on an antique radio. A bunch of random adjustments and a dozen-or-so photos later, I came up with something that looked decent. Again, definitely not a masterpiece, but a step forward in the right direction.
Eager to try out my new toy at a swing lesson, I decided to try my hand at photographing moving targets. Looking back at the photos, very few of them turned out well at all. Some turned out okay, and two of them are below. A few turned out well, and ended up in this week's gallery entry, which I hope you'll check out. I think jumping into the deep end was a little too hard for me; there were far too many variables to juggle, including the flash position, flash power, camera focus and zoom settings, and the position and orientation of the people I was photographing. It was simply too much to handle all in one shot when I'm still learning the basics when it comes to the lighting, and I'm still learning things about my camera. In retrospect, I should have waited a while before bringing them along.
But, some of my stuff did turn out well, and they're in this week's gallery. Some of those are shot with an off-camera flash; others are not. As far as cost-worth purchases go for aspiring photographers, these flash triggers are the best purchase I've made (just surpassing the 50mm EF 1.8/f lens). If you have an external flash, pick yourself up a set of these and a cheap camera tripod; you won't regret it.
If you'd care to see some of my better photos (ie. this week's gallery), you can take a look at the Jan. 8/10 gallery here.
Random Post: A Programmer's Desktop
Just for the heck of it, I decided that I would post a screenshot of my desktop right before I start programming (ie. before too many windows get opened and clutter my workspace). Those of you that are sharp might notice that it looks a little…wide. That's because I have three monitors on my desktop — two 19″ and one 22″ LCD monitors. That gives me a total resolution of 4560×1050: far bigger than a single monitor could reasonably give me.
Extra brownie points go to those who can answer the following questions about the screenshot:
- How many cores does my desktop have?
- What music player am I using?
- What scripting language server is running in the command line?
- What is the symbol on my desktop, what is it's significance, and who came up with the idea to use this symbol for this purpose?
Anyways, I have some new photos that will be going up tomorrow, as well as some of my experiences with using an off-camera flash. Stay tuned for that!
Dec. 29 2009 Photography Update
Although I posted them last night on Facebook (they won't stay up there forever), I'm also posting some photos that I took in the past month here, most of them being from last night.
I just picked up a new Sigma 70-300mm 4.0-5.6/f telephoto lens for my Canon XTi body, and decided to try it out at swing last night. I'm also starting to use my external flash more now, and it's taking some getting used to, but I'm liking some of the results so far. Thus, take a look at the gallery or the Dec. 29/09 album for some of the shots that I took. Let me know what you think!
Switching To DVORAK
Recently I made the decision that I would try to switch keyboard styles. Almost everybody I know uses the standard QWERTY-style keyboards because they are so common, but because I use a keyboard so much, I want to protect my fingers.
A bit of background knowledge before I go any further: the most common style of computer keyboard is the QWERTY keyboard, named such because of the first six letters in the top row of the keyboard. It was initially designed during the typewriter days not to improve typing efficiency, but to prevent the keys from jamming up. DVORAK, on the other hand, was designed with computer keyboards in mind, focusing on efficiency and ergonomics. As a result, those who are comfortable with DVORAK typically type faster and cause themselves less repetitive stress injuries.
Now, I think that those are both two very good reasons to make the switch to this different style. There is, though, the obvious drawback of having to learn a new keyboard layout. Thankfully, I don't need to buy anything to get started; any newer operating system has the ability to remap a keyboard to a new layout. The problem with this is that the writing on the keyboard doesn't match what I want to type, so I can't look at the keys to help me learn.
So the goal at this point is to work on my typing speed and hopefully get it to a speed that is reasonable. On a regular QWERTY keyboard, I can type at about 75 wpm (words per minute), but on a DVORAK keyboard I'm at a lowly 20 wpm. In order to help improve my speed, I've decided that I will type all of my blog posts on my DVORAK layout. After all, they say practice makes perfect, and if I plan to keep up with my blog posts on a regular basis, I should get better pretty quickly.
So, if anyone else out there is on their computer a lot, I challenge you to try out DVORAK some time and give it an honest shot at becoming comfortable at it. It's certainly a challenge to pick up, but would be beneficial to preserving the life of your fingers, and when you're in the Computer Science industry like myself, it's game over if I can't use my fingers. So to make things a little easier, instructions are below to enable the DVORAK layout on both Linux (Gnome) and Windows:
Linux (Gnome): System –> Preferences –> Keyboard, then go to the Layouts tab.
Windows XP: Add the Language toolbar by right-clicking on the bottom bar, then go into the Settings section under there to add a keyboard.
ViM Made Easy – Part 1
Well, after the massive spike in traffic to my site after writing the blog post on GNU Screen and Byobu Made Easy, I decided to do another quick tutorial on another Linux command-line tool, ViM. ViM, or "Vi Improved", is a command-line editor that has been around since the dawn of Linux command lines, and is deceivingly powerful. Although we won't get into the more powerful parts of the program today, stay tuned for some power tips later.
Now, anyone that has been around two or more Linux command-line junkies I'm sure has heard the Emacs vs. ViM argument at some point. Regardless of which one you like, they're both great editors. Give them both a shot and choose your favourite.
ViM Overview
Vim can be very overwhelming to start off on, but is great once you get used to it. When you first open ViM, you will be presented with a blank document and you will be in Normal mode (see below). Soon, we will be able to start writing text, undoing a mistake, perform cuts, copies, and pastes, as well as some search-and-replace.
A quick note that almost everything is case-sensitive!
Program Modes
There are six main program modes in ViM, listed below. We will only cover three of them in this tutorial for the time being.
- Normal Mode. This is where you type all of your commands, typically to move into one of the other modes.
- Insert Mode. Here is where you'll actually type text into your document.
- Visual Mode. Visual mode is mainly used for yanking (copying) and deleting (cutting). Although it can do more than this, we'll focus on these for now.
- Select Mode. Similar to Visual mode, Select mode is typically used for deleting a selection of text and immediately typing over top of it.
- Command-Line Mode. This is where you type your commands, such as saving, searching (and replacing), and the ability to edit ViM's options.
- Ex Mode. All-in-all, this is pretty much command-line mode, except after typing a command you end up staying in command-line mode instead of reverting back to Normal mode.
Let's Write Something!
You've just opened up ViM, but every time you try to type text, nothing seems to happen? What gives?! Well, right now you're in Normal mode, and ViM is waiting for an instruction. In order to start typing text, just type "i" (for "Insert") or "a" (for "Append"). The Append mode will move your cursor one character forward before you can type, so keep note of that. After you're finished typing what you want, just hit Escape to get back into Normal mode.
Let's say, that you just wrote "ViM is awesome!" in your spiffy new document, but saying it once just isn't enough! You want to say it over and over again, but typing it out so many times just seems like a waste, doesn't it? Time to go into Visual mode! Move your cursor to the beginning of your text using the cursors, then type "v" (lower-case). This puts you into Character-Select Visual mode. Move your cursor to the end of the text, and press "y" (for "Yank"), which copies the text into it's built-in clipboard. Move your cursor to where you want to paste, and type "p" (for "Paste"). Note that "P" will paste BEFORE your cursor, so keep that in mind.
Fixing Screw-ups
Whoops! You pasted it one-too-many times, or you pasted it in the wrong spot! Never fear, the Undo tool is here! Make sure you're in Normal mode (just hit Escape if you're not sure), and press "u" (for "Undo").
What if, for example, you ended up typing "ViM is awsemoe!" (hey, your fingers got tied up; it happens). It doesn't make sense to undo all of that, so let's just do a search-and-replace. Go into normal mode and type ":%s/awsemoe!/awesome!", then hit enter. Poof! Problem solved! I'll discuss the search-replace a bit more in the cheat sheet. If you just want to search for text, type "/your-text-here" in Normal mode, then hit enter. "n" will move you forward through all the findings, and "N" will move you backwards.
Saving and Exiting
Saving and exiting is really easy. ":w myfile.txt" will write the file to myfile.txt. If you opened an existing file, you don't need the file name, so ":w" is all you need. To do a save and quit at the same time, type ":wq".
What if you want to quit but don't save your changes? The best way to do this is ":q!", which will quit without heeding any warnings about the file not being saved.
Command Quick-Review
- a - Append - i - Insert - /<your-text-here> - Search for <your-text-here>. Does NOT use regular expressions - dd - Delete the entire line that your cursor is on - x - Delete the character your cursor is hovering on. - :42 - Move to line 42 - G - Go to the last line in the document - :s%/<search>/<replace> - Regular expression-compatible search-replace. - :s/<search>/<replace>/g - Same as above, except replaces everything on a single line. Remove the "g" to replace only the first occurrance. - :s42/<search>/<replace>/g - Same as above, except replace on line 42. - V - Line-select Visual mode - v - Character-select Visual mode - y - Copy (yank) the selected text - d - Delete the selected text - :w - Write the file to disk - :wq - Write and quit - :q - Quit - :q! - Quit without saving
Hopefully those that are starting out on Linux will find this useful. I plan on going in to greater depth in the near future, so stay tuned for that. If you like this article, I'd love for you to Digg or Reddit this page below. It's such a great feeling when your traffic spikes to 1000 hits in a day. And, for those Emacs lovers, I'll be doing an Emacs writeup as well.
Five Steps To Protect Against Browser Attacks
Some days, it pains me to see how woefully insecure some web browsers are. Every day, it seems that ten new browser-based exploits (or client-side attacks, as my presentation will tell you) are publicly released, and just because you're on a site that you think is legitimate doesn't mean that somebody hasn't compromised it.
For those of you using Internet Explorer (IE), I pity you. IE, still being the #1 most commonly-used browser in the world, is the target of the most attacks by far out of all the major browsers. If you're smart enough to use another, better browser, then you're already one step towards protecting yourself. I'm going to assume, though, that you're using Firefox or one of it's derivatives such as Flock, since the plug-in libraries are huge.
1. Use the Web of Trust
My Web of Trust (MyWOT) is a plugin for Firefox that warns you about potentially risky sites. It can alert you to known scam sites, spam sites, and pages that are known for hosting malware. It's great for getting an idea of how trustworthy the site you are visiting is, and is a great extra level of protection against attacks against your computer.
2. Block Javascript and Popups
AdBlock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
NoScript: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
3. Use Different Passwords
This always seemed like a no-brainer to me, but I know many other people who won't do this. Using the same password for multiple sites is just stupid. If somebody manages to steal your password from one site, what's stopping them from going to the other site (and no, having a different user name isn't going to prevent anything). Instead of using the same password, use different ones, minimum 8 characters, and random characters. If you can't remember all of those, take two 4-character random strings, and take the domain name, and put each random string on either side of the domain; there's your password. For example: "4n$sFACEBOOKn4%l". Swap "e" for "3″, "s" for "$" or "l" for "1″ – think L33T!
4. Clear Those Tracking Cookies
Although you may not realize it, tracking cookies are used to track your movement around the internet. Although you may visit very different web pages, the company that displays ads on the sites may be the same. Beat these cookies with BetterPrivacy, which removes tracking cookies and LSOs from your browser cache.
5. If You Didn't Expect To Get It, Don't Click It
I hate to have to reiterate common sense, but sometimes it escapes us. If you didn't expect to get a link from somebody, or they sent you a file that you weren't planning on getting, don't open it. I don't care if it came from their MSN account; if you didn't follow rule #3, there's no reason why their account couldn't have been hacked. If someone sends you a link, do yourself a favour and just ASK the person what it is before you click it; if you get a reply that is something that your friend would say, then you're probably okay.
Well, that took longer than expected. Hopefully that's of some use for people. As always, I appreciate your comments and feedback. If you like what you read, help me out by posting the article on Reddit, Facebook, or Digg (or sending the link to a friend). See you next Monday!

Despite the importance of credit reports to one's overall financial picture, the agencies that maintain these reports are often less than 100 percent accurate. Millions of Americans may have mistakes on their credit reports that could affect everything from getting a loan to getting a job.
Sometimes these mistakes are innocuous, something as minor as misspelled personal information, but sometimes they can have serious financial consequences.
It's our job as consumers to police our information and take care of mistakes in a timely manner. That means ordering your free credit reports at least once a year and checking them carefully.
What do you do once you've found a mistake? Regardless of which of the five resolution routes you choose, you'll need to be able to prove your case. That's why it's helpful to keep your billing statements and payment records. Don't toss them after you've successfully disputed a mistake and it gets removed; there is a chance it could come back. Keep records for as long as the information is on your report, seven years in most cases. If you're like me and live in New York-sized digs, don't fret. We live in a digital age and scanned copies work just fine and save space.
1. Do-it-yourself repair Contact the credit reporting agency, or CRA, who reported the error -- it would be Experian, TransUnion or Equifax -- and send a letter of dispute. That agency is obligated by law to notify the other agencies, launch an investigation and contact the creditor who reported it. They give the creditor 30 days to verify or dispute the information.
Do this one of three ways:
