I'm getting awful lot of spam to my forums where only registered users can post and captcha is in use. What could we best solution to stop spammers registering to my forums?

I've had some success by making the image a background of a DIV (instead of using an IMG element). Most spam bots ignore background CSS styles.
If you want to make life a little bit harder for the spammers, leave the IMG in, use an different image in there, and set it to display: none;. The bot will have a hard time to figure out that the IMG isn't visible.

FUDForum is somewhat better for me. It has been pretty much hands free and I have installed a few. So far no spam no bots.
The reason I believe fudforum has survived spam bot challenge is because it uses ASCII text for captcha. You could try to reuse it in other forums.

Is it possible to make a website that connects to my discord js bot and shows user count?
Yes, it is possible but you are going to have to host it yourself. Typically with these websites, you will have a profile page for all of the servers with your bot in it. You can then modify it on the website and it will store that data in some form that will affect how your bot acts. However, it does look like it requires a lot of research and experience in a couple different languages. I say that anyone can do it with enough time, so I encourage you to try it out. You might learn a thing or two!

So I found you can use
https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/blob/6b3bfdd7dede049ba592e94ef1b1acc40a5e37fe/docs/topics/web.md
and
https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/tree/webpack
to make a website using discord.js but the connection can be controlled in the chrome console like a full eval

I feel like this is a simple enough question that it should have already been asked and answered, but I have not seen anything on it in my searches.
I am creating a website for my club at school, and need to publish it/make it live/public, whatever you want to call it. Thusfar it is a simple HMTL-only document, but once I get it up and running I will expand it with CSS and Javascript (as I learn them, haha). So how do I turn this HTML file into a real website? Here is some key info:
The HMTL code is sitting on my desktop in a file (blablabla.html)
I have server space allocated for me, provided by the school. No need to find a domain.
I am familiar with using ssh to visit said server, and I have successively used scp to upload my html file to the server address, but when I navigate to the webpage though Chrome, I get an Object Not Found/404 error.
I'd like to do this the old fashioned way for now, but if there are any reccomendations for web publishing suites on Ubuntu, they are welcome.
So what exactly do I need to do to make it a working webpage? Is there a specific place I need to put the .html file, a specific name it must have? What am I missing?
P.S. For once I do get it working, how do I obtain/upload some MIDI music to give my website that good old fashioned early 90s feel?
yes, try to rename it to index.html if that file is you home page.
At what URL are you trying to reach your website? http://example.com/mysite/ ??? or maybe http://example.com/mysite/blahblah.html ??

I am putting together a little site run on Google App Engine (python27 + django + webapp2). The objective of the site is to serve paid for video tutorials, much like lynda.com.
I'm trying to find the best (and cheapest) way of keeping the videos behind a paywall. In other words a customer is only able to view the videos on my site and if they've paid a subscription.
I've considered simply putting them on GAE, however the recent price increases have made me reluctant to do so and I was wondering if there were any other solutions available?
Cheers,

I am noticing a lot of possible applications of mobile software is limited due to screen glare from the sun. What are ways a software developer or UI designer can mitigate this, and what are the fundamental hardware problems that need to be addresses and who is working on them?
It is a compounded question, but this is a compounded problem!
Insight appreciated
The higher the contrast in your image, the less of a problem it will be. Beyond that, tough cookie.
The fundamental hardware problem is that surfaces which aren't shiny are translucent or otherwise blurry.
You can manipulate the refractive index but there are trade-offs. Cost, propensity to crack/smudge/scratch/tarnish, etc.
Thinking laterally, if you write a scary videogame, people will want to play it in the dark :-)

i am currently undergoing the branding of a place that is in the outskirts of a major city. the situation at hand is that the place is unknown and not easy to get around, so my associates and i have planned to develop a gps application with specifics eg safari lodges, conference venues of this area and make it possible for people to download it onto their smartphones (nokia,iphone and black berry) and be able to navigate their way around.
the issue is how much would it cost to develop such an application and run it?
need an answer ASAP. thanks a mil.
The answer to this question could be 1000$, but it could be 100.000$ as well. There are so many details to a project like this that must be taken into account that it is almost impossible to answer your question more precisely.
To give an example - consider details like (but not only):
who will supply the necessary content
does the content need to be updated on a regular basis -> CMS
should the app navigate the user around in turn-by-turn style or should it be more like an interactive map
These three details alone would make a huge difference. So, the best thing you can do is contact a company or a freelance developer, brief him precisely on the matter and see how much it'll cost you.
