Easy. Just email me the MySQL Info and I'll make up a script. Done

Perhaps you guys could add a survey to getcontinuum.com that could also be posted to remotly. Then just have the user prompted at the end of the download asking if they would be willing to fill out a survey and have it ask where they found it with optional fields for name, country, sex, age, and comments. If this is something you'd be interesyed in doing let me know and I'll create a DB for you to use. Aside from the survey questions the only other information i'd want to track is ip and time.

All fixed, I am waiting for 1 more revision to correct the stated filesize.

You sure love to twist words and distort facts. I believe Israel is justified because Lebanon is incapable of securing themselves. You can't expect them to sit and wait forever for the government to take care of their own security. The terrorists surprise goes to show their expectations which defines the way they think. The result being that it supports the fact that Israel is forced to take security into their own hands to protect its citizens.

There is a copy of it in the skins folder on the Continuum installer i made.
-
Delete the Continuum directory and reinstall it with the new installer. It has an updated zone list as of yesterday.
-
Can you ping the directory server?
-
Can you ping 64.84.96.94?
-
remove all of the directory servers but sscentral.sscuservers.net If the problem continues then download the latest installer from SSDL.

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,...5007220,00.html THIS is the picture that ASSS Hezbollah. It is one of several, smuggled from behind Lebanon's battle lines, showing that Hezbollah is waging war amid suburbia. The images, obtained exclusively by the Sunday Herald Sun, show Hezbollah using high-density residential areas as launch pads for rockets and heavy-calibre weapons. Dressed in civilian clothing so they can quickly disappear, the militants carrying automatic assault rifles and ride in on trucks mounted with cannon. The photographs, from the Christian area of Wadi Chahrour in the east of Beirut, were taken by a visiting journalist and smuggled out by a friend. They emerged as: US President George Bush called for an international force to be sent to Lebanon. ISRAEL called up another 30,000 reserve troops. THE UN's humanitarian chief Jan Egeland called for a three-day truce to evacuate civilians and transport food and water into cut-off areas. US SECRETARY of State Condoleezza Rice returned to the Middle East to push a UN resolution aimed at ending the 18-day war, and: A PALESTINIAN militant group said it had kidnapped, killed and burned an Israeli settler in the West Bank. The images include one of a group of men and youths preparing to fire an anti-aircraft gun metres from an apartment block with sheets hanging out on a balcony to dry. Others show a militant with AK47 rifle guarding no-go zones after Israeli blitzes. Another depicts the remnants of a Hezbollah Katyusha rocket in the middle of a residential block blown up in an Israeli air attack. The Melbourne man who smuggled the shots out of Beirut and did not wish to be named said he was less than 400m from the block when it was obliterated. "Hezbollah came in to launch their rockets, then within minutes the area was blasted by Israeli jets," he said. "Until the Hezbollah fighters arrived, it had not been touched by the Israelis. Then it was totally devastated. "It was carnage. Two innocent people died in that incident, but it was so lucky it was not more." The release of the images comes as Hezbollah faces criticism for allegedly using innocent civilians as "human shields". Mr Egeland blasted Hezbollah as "cowards" for operating among civilians. "When I was in Lebanon, in the Hezbollah heartland, I said Hezbollah must stop this cowardly blending in among women and children," he said.

Yes, if you are not capable of something then it never was your responsibility to do it. Like if you're a doctor and you don't know how to perform heart byp!@#$%^&* surgery then it shouldn't be your responsibility to perform that surgery. If you're the only doctor there and you're forced to "try" the surgery then if something goes wrong you shouldn't be sued for getting it wrong. Lebanon only has one government and that government is incapable of the task of disarming Hezbollah. You don't go to war with them based on that because there is absolutely nothing the Lebanese could have done without descending into a civil war. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5570554http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/629/629/5218106.stm 1) They asked to be in power, they asked for their seats in power, they were swong in and accepted all of the responsibil!@#$%^&*ies of government. Just because they are proven to be completly failures doesn't mean they aren't responsible for how their country is governed. If the individuals are incapable of doing their jobs they should have resigned and asked someone else to do it. It was, is, and always will be their fault for failing to do what they are there to do. 2) It's calling bombing and yes, things do get blown up. If the rockets are near apartment buildings, or office buildings, then they will also be damaged. The Hezbollah place their artillary and rockets, it's not like Israel is saying go stand by that school so we can kill 500 helpless children. If Hezbollah doesn't want the fight to take place in a area populated by civilians then they need to move their artillary and people OUT OF THE !@#$%^&*ING CITY!!.

1) So responsibility is based on capability in your opinion? 2) Israel is not killing indiscriminately. If you have a source to show they have no care of who they kill feel free to show it. I already posted a portion of a interview where Israel admits they are limiting their attacks to try and limit loss of life. There is also the fact that they today decided not to expand the offensive. As to my beliefs, i i do beleive in a high power regardless of the name other chose to use. I'm sure there is more to the existance of life. I may not be the textbook idea of agnostic, but its about as close as it gets to any deffinition.

Hezbollah is using everyone they can as a shield from attack. They use citizens and now there is proof they used the UN post. So now how do you feel? http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...a9-7f94d5fc6d50 Hezbollah was using UN post as 'shield' Published: Thursday, July 27, 2006 The words of a Canadian United Nations observer written just days before he was killed in an Israeli bombing of a UN post in Lebanon are evidence Hezbollah was using the post as a "shield" to fire rockets into Israel, says a former UN commander in Bosnia.

Since i asked you to answer the question these have been your responses. Are you going to keep dodging the argument to make these baseless sentences that offer nothing other than proof that my opinion is in disagreement to yours? I haven't bothered to re-explain it because you don't listen. You have a general disregard for responsibility and make excuses of why their actions should be tolerated. You also lack the moral and ethical foundation to comprehend what people have attempted to communicate with you. Perhaps you've been trained to think the way you do, I’ve been trained to be a technological analyst. So when I consider a situation I start by considering the root cause. If you neglect to address the root of the problem then you have already failed to address the issue. If you do however figure out the root cause of a problem you can then figure out how it got fubared and how to stop it as well as keep it from happening again. This is what you keep ignoring and making excuses about. The situation was caused by a long chain of events that goes beyond this conflict. It's not about who attacked who, it’s not about the kidnapping. It's about the thought process of the people involved and how they came to decide what is acceptable and what is not. You don't understand why their expectations were important because you don't see how it's relevant to the way they think. Until you are willing to analyze the situation to understand WHY it happens you'll never be able to accept the situation. But just to be a good sport I will make 1 final attempt to explain the importance of their surprise as it’s really quite simple. Hezbollah performs these acts because they believe it's OK to treat people as pawns. They don't look at other people as souls with an inherent right to live. They don't look at other people as being equal. Instead they look at people as their pawns. They believe they have not only have the moral and ethical right to steal people's lives as a political tool, they believe they are obligated to do it. The reason the US supports Israel on this particular attack is because we agree with the intention of not allowing terrorism to drive the government's responses. The US has adopted a simple policy that means we do not EVER EVER EVER negotiate with terrorists. We won't trade prisoners, give money, nothing. We will do our best to talk them down, but if that fails the ONLY acceptable action is force. Hezbollah EXPECTED that Israel would agree to a prisoner trade using Germany to negotiate it. They were surprised now because Israel said no and decided to attack them and treat the Hezbollah as criminals. But the fact is that kidnapping makes them criminals and deserves to be treated as such. Negotiating does nothing but gives them power and enables them to treat human being as cattle. They use fear and kidnapping and human trafficking as a way to strong-arm others into agreeing with their political views. THEY ARE CRIMINALS AND DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE IT. The other thing you don't understand is that the Lebanese government is responsible for the acts of its people. There is no exception to this. When Osama Bin Laden attacks the US and the Taliban refused to do anything about it we attacked them. In this case the Hezbollah attacked Israel and the Lebanese government has done nothing about it, so Israel decided to attack. I !@#$%^&*ure you that if the Lebanese government stood against them and did everything they could to restore order and get the citizens released that Israel would never have attacked. People are not cattle, pawns, or anyone’s toy to use and abuse how they see fit. I am not Christian, atheist, Muslim or Hindu. I am agnostic. I believe in god and that he loves everyone. I believe that we all share the same god in one name or another. I also believe that god would never excuse, forgive, or justify treating people the way the Hezbollah treat them. And for this reason it is no longer the time to turn the other cheek. It is time to defend the right for everyone to live without fear. If I was younger and not married I would join the military to help that cause directly. While I believe Bush is a complete jack!@#$%^&* and has attacked Iraq based on lies and deceit, I still believe the Iraqi people will be better for it. We are all equal in god’s eyes and should treat each other with that same regard and respect. And if talk and education can't secure everyone’s right to live then force is required. If this does not help you to understand the moral, ethical, and logical reasons of why Israel is doing what they are and why the Lebanese government is ultimately responsible for allowing the Hezbollah to continue then this discussion is over.

It is the responsility of the government to find these things out and monitor the populace to ensure the saftey of its people and that their laws are being followed. It is also the job of the governemt to secure and maintain their borders. The situation does not change who is responsible. If the minutemen organisation started attacking Mexican imigrants the US government would still be resopnsbile regardless of if they were involved in the planning.

Sorry for my typo. That doesn't change the fact that you have proven to be incapable of understanding the simplicities of human behaviour.
-
We can't teach you common sense and logic as your too ignorant to learn via this medium. sorry...

Wow, thats the most stupid post yet.

I fail to see how Hezbollah's expectations could possibly be irrelevant. Their expectations dictate their actions which caused this entire mess.

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/07/25/D8J37I5O1.html Hezbollah Says Israeli Response a Surprise By SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI !@#$%^&*ociated Press Writer BEIRUT, Lebanon A senior Hezbollah official said Tuesday the guerrilla group did not expect Israel to react so strongly to its capture of two Israeli soldiers. Mahmoud Komati, deputy chief of Hezbollah's political arm, also told The !@#$%^&*ociated Press in an interview that his group will not lay down arms. "The truth is _ let me say this clearly _ we didn't even expect (this) response.... that (Israel) would exploit this operation for this big war against us," said Komati. He said Hezbollah had expected "the usual, limited response" from Israel to the July 12 cross-border raid, in which three Israelis were killed. In the past, he said, Israeli responses to Hezbollah actions included sending commandos into Lebanon to seize Hezbollah officials or briefly targeting specific Hezbollah strongholds. He said the Shiite group had anticipated there would be negotiations on exchanging the Israeli soldiers for three Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails, with Germany acting as a mediator as it did before. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/07/25/D8J3579G0.html Israel Would Prefer NATO-Led Coalition By SLOBODAN LEKIC !@#$%^&*ociated Press Writer BRUSSELS, Belgium As world leaders scramble to secure a cease-fire in Lebanon, a crucial question arises: Who will ensure the peace? Israel has suggested it prefers a NATO-led coalition _ not the traditional U.N. peacekeeping force that has tried but failed to bring peace to Lebanon the last three decades. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,205378,00.html While admitting that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) is working at a "slow pace," the official insisted the plan was constructed out of concern for human life. "We could do it much faster if we would be willing to inflict high civilian casualties," the official said. "The decision was made to move in a methodical, slow way." Your welcome to draw your own conclusions but here are some highlights... 1) Hezbollah admits they kidnapped them figuring it'd be business as usual. So kidnapping is nothing more than a common tool to try and force the release of others. 2) Israel wants NATO to take over the operation of securing the border as the UN has been failed to do it for 30 years. 3) Israel is taking it very slow and easy and making their attacks with the intention of LIMITING casualties. Put them together and its fair to say that after 30 years of failed attempts they are no longer willing to allow kidnapping and minor strikes to be used a common political tool by their enemies and have decided to deal with it in a firm and direct manner while trying to limit the number of people killed intentionaly as well as unintentionaly.

Let me put this another way. If your kid kicks an animal and you don't immediatly stop him, then i'll step in and stop him myself. If you don't like it thats too bad because i do have an inherant right and RESPONSIBILITY to protect that animal. Nothing you do or say is going to change that. If you don't like my method then you should deal with it yourself. Here is a great article. “All the politicians are saying, ‘Great, great’ to the idea of a force, but no one is saying whose soldiers will be on the ground,†said one senior European official. “Everyone will volunteer to be in charge of the logistics in Cyprus.†There has been strong verbal support for such a force in public, but also private concerns that soldiers would be seen as allied to Israel and would have to fight Hezbollah guerrillas who do not want foreigners, let alone the Lebanese Army, coming between themselves and the Israelis. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/24/world/mi...agewanted=print As you can see Israel is happy to step back if somone else want to secure the border. Hardly the act of a terrorist. But for everyones words no government wants to commit. So alas, no one but Israel is willing to step up right now even though they ALL AGREE THAT FORCE IS WARANTEED!!

I believe that the Lebanese government's inability to control its own border is justification for Israel to respond to the attacks. It's not like the Lebanese government is trying to help recover the people or stop the rockets. If Lebanon was to stop the rockets and activly force the terrorists to return the prisoners then i would say Israel should stand down. But as they have still failed to take any action to secure their country they have nothing to !@#$%^&* about.

Your so intent on pointing blame that you consistantly ignore very simple facts. Instead you respond with hightened emotional responses lacking logical arguements. If the Lebansise governement was doing their job this would never have happened. In order to stop the attacks they only need to return the hostages and the government take responsibility for border security. While the entire thing is unfortunate, you need to accept these facts and quit making excuses. 1) Security is the responsibility of the government. 2) Kidnaping is immoral and unethical and deserves nothing less than the full force available to combat it. There is no excuse or justification for it, ever. You might as well use rape as a method to extract information. They are both unforgivable acts. Now if you have a logic argument of why either of those facts is wrong plerase share it with us. But until you address the CAUSE of the issue your still making excuses to point blame.
