I'm not really sure where to vote, i use Vista on my main desktop, but it dual boots into ubuntu, I've got my server running Ubuntu Server, and then laptop running XP, along with loads of Virtual Machines in VMWare Server

I'm not going to turn this into an argument, but it is all down to personal preference, personally i hate them, I've got a VB book and never touched it, but still can do basic things with it, and never considered buying one for PHP, and have taught myself using the internet not too badly so far.

Hmm, personally I learn best through tutorials (http://w3schools.com/php/default.asp) and http://php.net/ function reference, although if books are best for you then that may be best, before buying you may want to look at some reviews, the for dummies one doesn't look too bad, you might want to...

I'd say it would be worth learning bits of PHP + MySQL, once you get the basics it generally isn't too difficult to expand, admittedly it wouldn't be the easiest of projects, but most of it would probably be done using quite complex SQL queries, so at least you wouldn't have that much really...

I'd reccomend Xubuntu, it is basicaly Ubuntu with a different window manager, and designed to be used older specced hardware, see more about it here: http://xubuntu.org/

I wouldn't expect many hardware issues, since apple provide you with most (if not all) of the drivers, and software should run as it does in windows, since it is essential similar hardware, although it is still in BETA so may have some glitches.

Also you may want to make it more autmated, so you don't have to keep updating everything, in that case you will need a programming language, I';d reccomend PHP + a MySQL database to store user info in

You would probably be best starting off with linux as your OS, then installing something such as VLC or Shoutcast - http://www.shoutcast.com/download/serve.phtml Also theres darwin streaming server @ http://developer.apple.com/opensource/server/streaming/index.html

It would (in theory) be doable, but it just isn't worth it, the chances are it could have been encrypted using a couple of methods (md5+sha1) and a random string added to it to make it even harder, would just be easier to re-register or contact the admin of the forum!

right, I'm assuming that you have a web host, and this is only applicable if your host uses apache. In the root directory of where your site is you need to create a new file called ".htaccess", then in that filw put the following code: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule...

Do you want software to manage it, or to design? Nvu is free open source design software, but if you are after a content management system then I think joomla & drupal are supposed to be good, with a wide range of templates to choose from, or you can make your own

Alternatively to DrCuddles suggestion you can use mod_rewrite, that way you don't need lot's of folders, but it looks just as good, and is probably easier for you. Use the following code: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^contact-me /contact_me.html </IfModule> Then just...

I always tend to use plenty of folders, so that I know exactly where everything is (css,images,includes,content etc.). The I use htacces in folders that only the server needs access to, such as content and includes, and generally just try to keep it all as organised as possible. The name of the...

Just give it time, nothing is instant as it takes time to check that the click was valid, if nothing isn't showing up after a few days, then consider contacting them. Although remember that asking for somebody to click is against their term's of service, so considering they can just ban you for...

Who is your web host? and what software are you using to connect? If the problem continues contact your host, see what they have to say about it, also make sure that you are using the ftp protocol (ftp://mywebsite.com)

But you cannot include content from an external website in tables, without using a server side script, so frames (in this case) would be better.

If you have limewire running all the time, that could be hogging all of the bandwidth, try closing it.

Actually, there is something pretty similar to this: http://www.google.com/trends

1. a) 2. a) 3. a) 4. a) 5. b) - I would expect this for free with any half decent web host 6. b) - As Above 7. b) - If I owned my website by paying for it, I wouldn't expect ads on there in the first place 8. b) - As Above 9. d) - It would depend what the advert was like. 10. d) - As Above 10...

Yep, they're mine, on a "2 gig monthly cap". Always found them to be very quick in terms of speed, i.e. on my 2.5 meg connection I always get about 240kb/s, and they don't seem to care about the bandwidth caps, i always go over them (by quite a bit) and have never been warned about it.
