Since it was no already function for random letters in PHP i was google on it and found this one some where i do not remeber but works exemplary.

function randomletters() {
$chars = “abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz023456789″;
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$i = 0;
$pass = ” ;
while ($i <= 7) {
$num = rand() % 33;
$tmp = substr($chars, $num, 1);
$pass = $pass . $tmp;
$i++;
}
return $pass;
}

If you know who made this one please tell me and i will link to the page in this post

For random numbers please take a look at rand.

Today was the first day I ever heard of the new sharing client that have already got great success. Since a lot of new laws have make it hard to legally download copyright products it have also come a lot of new ways how to get around thoose problem and OneSwarm is one of them. OneSwarm makes a new network, based on your friends and your sharing. One problem already found is that you do not know what kind of people that your friends invite, if wrong person access to your network it may cause some problems.

This will be my first review and I will write my opinion about Firefox version 3.

Short information about Firefox

Firefox 1.0 was released in November 2004 by the creators of Mozilla. Firefox is as many other web browsers free to download and use. It have Open Source and does work to operative systems like Linux, Mac and Windows. Today the version 3 is out and is a very popular web browser. The goal with version 3 were to be the most downloaded software in 24 hours, the result became over eight million downloads.

My own opinion

I did my first download of Firefox for more then a year ago. Before i did download Firefox I was a true Internet Explorer user most because of their FTP client, that they did remove in Internet Explorer 7 -_- Any way, my first impression of Firefox was good. That i did like most of it was their tag system which i never seen before. But what i did not like was their FTP client which for me is worth nothing. An other good thing about Firefox was that i never seen one more “can not respond” error… But the happines wouldent stay for long. In the newer version of Firefox they have a new problem with closing down the browser. If you shut it down and will start it again you will with big possibility get the error “Firefox is already running”. The only good thing about this is that the error is only comes on Windows, atleast for me, but since I am half Windows user i really do not like this error. Any way, since it fast and works on Linux is it the best web borwser that i have used so far.

Score:

8/10 – Good score, still it can be better!
