As for Zone Alarm's advisory, I doubt the new "features" really add anything to the function of the firewall. Anyway, I found version 6.0 slowed my 98SE machine considerably, so I went back to version 5.5. That, and earlier versions of many other programs can be found here:

In this script you will learn how to generate a thumbnail from an image. all you need is PHP + GD support.



//--- source image file name

$filename='baby.jpg';


//--- create a JPEG image from source file into memory

$image = imageCreateFromJPEG($filename);


//--- get image width and height

$image_width  = imagesx($image);

$image_height = imagesy($image);


//--- set thumbnail width and height

$thumb_width  = 100;

$thumb_height = 110;


//--- if you want to set only width of thumbnail, uncomment this line

//$thumb_height = round($image_height * $thumb_width / $image_width);


//--- create an image for thumbnail into memory

$thumb = imageCreateTrueColor($thumb_width, $thumb_height);


//--- genterate thumbnail from source image

imageCopyResampled($thumb, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $thumb_width,$thumb_height, $image_width, $image_height);


//--- save thumbnail in JPEG format and quality 70%

imageJPEG($thumb,'thumb_'.$filename,70);


//--- free the allocated memory

imageDestroy($image);

imageDestroy($thumb);


print('‹img src="http://www.dev-tips.org//baby.jpg"›‹img src="http://www.dev-tips.org//thumb_baby.jpg"›');

If you want to only set width of your thumbnail then uncomment the highlighted line and thumbnail height will be calculated automatically for you.

Top 10 Worst Company URLs

Filed under: Wacky Web — Admin at 3:09 pm on Wednesday, August 2, 2006

The top 10 unintentionally worst company URL
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s
world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name
selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do
this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies
who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give
their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents’ where you can find the name of the agent
that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange
advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South
Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their
whacky website:
www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
www.gotahoe.com

Top Ten Open Source Window Apps

Companies like Google and Microsoft give away free software as a courtesy to their users to hook more people on their services ("free as in beer.") But open source organizations are often non-profit and made up of volunteer developers who release free software because they believe users have a right to control their data ("free as in speech.")

Open source roots are in the Unix operating system, but these days many "free as in speech" applications are available for Windows as well - and today I've got a list of my top 10 favorites.

1. Mozilla Firefox (Web browser)

Crikey, another Firefox plug! Yeah, we love the 'fox, and we'll keep talking about it until EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU USES IT. It really just doesn't get any better when it comes to a cross-platform, open source web browser.

2. Mozilla Thunderbird (Email client)

Firefox's much less celebrated little brother is one helluva email client. We especially like its customizable message filters, built-in adaptive Junk mail filter and ability to install useful add-ons (like Firefox).

3. Open Office (Office suite)

4. Gaim (Instant messenger)

Chat on any service you'd like - AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN, Jabber, ICQ - with this multi-platform, tabbed IM client.

5. ClamWin (Antivirus)

Norton bugging you again to break out the credit card and subscribe? Uninstall! ClamWin is free anti-virus software with automatic updates and scheduled scans, no credit card required.

6. VLC Media Player (Audio/video player)

Got a video or audio file Windows Media Player or Quicktime can't play? Betcha VLC can.

7. KeePass (Password manager)

Another app you really don't hear a lot about, but for anyone with more than 6 different passwords, KeePass is indispensable. Check out my previous feature, Securely track your passwords for more on using KeePass.

8. Cygwin (Unix command line emulator)

9. Eraser (Data deletion utility)

10. TrueCrypt (File encryption utility)

Browster- speed up your browsing experience

Browster

Browster is a very cool add-on that enhances your browsing experience - for example mousing over a link gives you a preview of the website. It enables you to speed up your browsing experience and can save a lot of clicks in the long run. It does this by automatically pre-fetching links. It's a free add-on for both IE and Firefox - and hopes to make a profit by putting ads in the pop-up previews.
