My buddy's nightmare.

This is one of my buddies. This is his story,

His name is Daniel (one on the left) and he's going to prison for underage drinking, theft, and resisting arrest. Now the story of this poor mans great night turned into a nightmare starts when he and a few buddies were bored and had no idea what to do. They thought they'd sit at home and watch some tv, but after a couple hours of being bored they decided to go to a bar with their fake IDs and get a few beers. It's what many under age kids do for fun and they wanted to show the world how badass they are, but it didn't turn out that way for one of them. That's right you guessed it Dan.

Dan somehow managed to lose his friends and for a while they didn't seem to notice, but after an hour they decided to look for him, but it was too late. Dan had already committed his crimes. Dan entered a sex shop located near the bar and store and stole a blow up doll since he was lonely. He hasn't had a girlfriend in a few months and who can blame him for his actions? I know I can't I haven't had a girlfriend in 21 years, but that's beside the point. He was lonely and was only looking for a good time, so he stole a blow up doll. He didn't get far though and after about half a mile of walking he was picked up on the streets by LA's finest.

Now this is where the story gets bad. Dan didn't have his real ID on him and the police found out he was underage since he decided it was a good idea to snitch on himself, but we can't hate him for being honest now can we? Dan decided to do something dumb he lost control of himself and decided to try to teleport. The idea of teleporting sounds dumb, but when your drunk it's ****ing awesome, but back on track. He was taken down by the police and after a very little scuffle which no one get scratched and he was given another charge which was resisting arrest.

This is why I decided to make this page because it's an honest mistake and he is an innocent man. Now I know some of you guys are saying that he deserves the 19 months in prison for his actions, but he's an honest man who doesn't deserve 19 months in prison in my opinion. He deserves 80 - 120 hours of community service at most for his actions. If everyone who is charged with stealing a blow doll gets 19 months in prison then everyone should be in prison because at some point in our life well do it or steal something less useful like a cd. Even if you don't agree how can you guys feel no pity for this man?

I don't know what to do anymore :(. I have no gaming buddy for the next 19 months now.

Aligning Picture

MrGeeker — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 11:37:09 GMT

I am trying to align a picture to the right of some text. I want the text to wrap around the picture. Both the text and picture are in the same div tag.

I tried using float right but that doesn't work because then when the browser window is sized really small the picture pops on top of other div elements because its taken out of the normal flow.

I tried wrapping another div tag around the picture and using text-align to the right, that works, except the text always shows up below the image on the left side, so there is a big open white space on the top of the page.

I don't want to use float but I still want the text to wrap around the picture, what properties do I need to use for this?

I also seen a clear property; I thought that might work but it doesn't have any effect.

Slider

billy_111 — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 11:36:45 GMT

Hey,

I have put together a slider menu on this page:

http://www.freemanholland.com/cow/public_html/shop

On the left, but i don't quite like the way it works.. Was thinking of using a nice jQuery slider.. Is there a slider out there or examples of which do the same?

Also, when i click to go to a different page the slider returns back to normal again, so i would prefer it remains on the category the user has selected..

Any examples or advice would be much appreciated..

Thanks

Can i add effects to a "gif" picture ?

deotpit — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 10:03:49 GMT

Hi everyone,
I have a "gif" image which is a "jpg" picture i converted into a "gif" format.
I imported it to my Flash clip. I want it to be transparent at the first frame of its timeline and to gradually show up as it reaches ending keyframe .
I converted that image to a symbol.
At its' first timeline frame ,from "color" combo box in the "properties" area, i selected "alpha". At the ending keyframe i selected "none" from the "color"
scrolling list in "properties" area.
Now i'm having a white page at the first frame and an image at the end keyfarame.
In order to make the image gradually show up i selected: "shape" from the
"Tween" scrolling list at the "properties" area.
I get a dashed line crossing the time line and the gradually showing up of the image is not working.
Can i have an advice of how i should do that ? Whats wrong with what i was doing ?
Thanks

Security & Privacy Laws for Contact forms

baritoneuk — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 07:39:23 GMT

Many of our clients have contact forms on their sites. Most forms just ask for name, phone number and email address.

However some contact forms ask for the address and sometimes even date of birth. A confirmation email is sent to the person filling in the form with all these details. My concern is one of privacy and security. Is there a law that says we need to have the contact form secure, using an SSL certificate, and what level of SSL certificate should it be? If there is no law then is this good practice anyway? Is it wise to send a confirmation email with the information they filled in? Most people I think would find that helpful, but as email is so insecure, I was wondering about the security implications of this. I'd be grateful for any ideas with this one.
