Hi everyone, My site, http://ixedix.x10hosting.com was mostly written in perl. Now it is all broken, because "My little brother uploaded a proxy" *LAUGH* Do I have to re-write all my code in PHP ?

So, why didn't X10 administrators simply block pearl(sic)/python execution, instead of blocking cgi-bin directory access ? Now I have to move most of my pages/scripts and edit them to reflect the changes. What is so special about PERL that warrants its banning, compared to PHP ? And...

Hello everyone, For two weeks now, my scripts (Perl and PHP) are being blocked, apparently because they are in my cgi-bin directory. I just thought that it was the right place for them when using POST and GET methods. So my question is this : can such scripts be in another directory and still...

Thanks for your replies about GD/PHPlot, and your views on the hacking elite. Here is some text rotation written in perl, no anomalies. http://ixedix.x10hosting.com/cgi-bin/GD/TextCheck.pl (hit refresh for different number of rotations). The code is here ...

Thanks misson, I will try PHPlot 5.1.2, and report the result over here. As for Eric Raymond and Rick Moen with their arrogant rambling about an imaginary hacking elite (We the Hackers, you the imbeciles), I think they are a disgrace to the amateur (hobby) and professional programming...

Hi everyone, Please take a look at this : http://ixedix.x10hosting.com/MathRec/ (fourth problem) and at : http://ixedix.x10hosting.com/MathRec/plotit.php (invoked by clicking "See a plot here" on the above page). Why is the y_title rendered incorrectly ? In "time (seconds)", the i...

Problem solved Thanks a lot Corey, resetting my password (via "Forgot your password ?") did it :>)

Thanks Brandon, but no-go... On FTP I use host name : ftp.ixedix.x10hosting.com user ID : rocambol@ixedix.x10hosting.com password : the one that worked two weeks ago. My FTP client calls 69.175.120.122. and I get an authorization failure. Same on cPanel, with proper username and...

Hi overworked admins, My site http://ixedix.x10hosting.com is working fine now, but both FTP and cPanel accesses are denied. ping gives me 69.175.120.122, which is starka. network-tools returns 69.175.6.102 rain.x10vps.com as the last hop. username : rocambol Any hope for me ...

Maybe it's not a good idea to use accented characters (like "à") in file names on an UNIX-like system. French is my first language too, but I avoid doing it, afraid of strange side effects...

Isn't if($size>500*1024) { ... } a mistake ? You're rejecting files larger than 500 kb, not 500 Mb...

Did you try this Maple construct ? for n from 1 to number do read theta, r from input file sub into your expression/function write result to output file end do; But the way I'd do it would be to use Maple only for the symbolic part, then implement the resulting expression into...

I worked a lot with Matlab, maybe I can help you. As for Maple, I only used it do lengthy polynomial multiplications. If you have access to newsgroups, look for comp.sys.matlab. Maybe there is a Maple group too. Also check IRC for such channels.

Thanks for the pointers, misson. I have around 60000 images (art, technology, eye-candy :>) ), with an average fike size of say 200 kb. They are spread over 3 drives. I now realize that I must give more thought to the subject, notably about the ">= 3" case. My PC is very low-end...

Thanks for the suggestion, lordskid, but calculating a CRC for each candidate file would be even slower than doing a plain byte-by-byte comparison... On second thought, the above is clear if I have only 2 files of the same length. For more files, maybe your idea is the best way. Here is...
