skype is great...i used it on windows, but now i am just using gaim from linux...and this has support for most messenger services, i.e. msn yahoo icq and gmailtalk...but unfortunately, you cannot use a mic and talk to people using this software...but i think tey may add this feature soon, because it is very much needed nowadays...people working from home on linux boxes trying to make conference calls etc...there must be some standalone software for linux that allows you to do that any but so far, i havn't found it. I mya try skype with WINE, but i doubt that it will work...

Yeh, it is down at he moment, but watch out...by friday it will be up...so bookmark it, or keep in touch with this thread...

Hey, think that a bit of green around the edge of the text would work...make sure you have a spare copy before you start messing around though, you woudn't want to lose your original sig...that would be a pain.

Umm, I am in a time warp or is everyone just being polite...these mini macs ahve been out for a really long time, they are by no means 'new', although i do admit they are cool, but in true mac style, they lack a monitor built in...but for the price, does it really matter? If i had the money to spend on a mac, i would definately just go out and buy a 20" imac..and i would be content for a long time...they are wonderful, in every sense...power, design, and stability...all great

hehe, just looking at the title of this topic, i thought it was about playstations...anyway, i use the gimp so this does not concern me much, but i would assume that the pro version would be the same as the non-pro but you get more features....

Boyoh, TV is getting really bad...isn't it. Lets' stop playing with these ideas, I would be truley awful if anthing like that did happen, and it would be really stupid for it to ever start, some mad scientist might do it later this centuary though...better watch out, it could be anyone

Well, i will join up but i am not going to do the 100 giveaway thingy, it looks like it is part of the forums and i do not have any interest there...but i suppose a renewal of a domain is worth getting, especially if it is for free...maybe i will get another domain instead of renewing...not sure yet...can anyone tell me what the offers are like before i join up and commit?

Yeh, using network places is sometime alot easier i would recommend that also...

Well, do you run one of these servers? Have you been remotely accessed through a network? Does this security threat have any relevance to you?

I only ever won something when i was about 12...i entered an art competition, i.e. send a drawing...it was for the funday times i think, or something like that...it was a pic of daffy duck, and i won a pair of rollar-blades...i still got them, but they dont fit. I have a friend though that went to a NEW YORK nicks game, and won an ipod...becuase he got the expensive seats, so he was in the stands that actually had a chance, like courtside....he always has really good fortune and mine stinks...

Iit is not really ready for visitors yet, and once i get enough forum credits i will be applying for package 2 so i can host it with Xisto, at the moment it is with profusehost.com which in my opinion is not nearly as pleasant an environment...any, the site is basically a directory (or will be) of making money programs, and these will be my categories: paid to play paid to surf paid to refer paid to take surveys paid to search paid to sign-up IS that all my bases covered? Please do reply in this thread to recommend anything to include in my website, and do also keep check the url http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ to see when it is up and running...and tell me what you think of it, thanks melkonianarg P.S. When everything is running, i may also advertise on this forum ,'making money', if Aanyone wants their links swapped, or someone belongs to a site that needs referrals, i can include your banner on my ad rotator for a really small fee...more details to come on that, thanks again...

Forgot to link you to it: http://www.quinnware.com/ there you go...

Well, personally, if i were on windows and cared at all, I would not use either of these: This is the player I used before i started to use gentoo linux, and now I use xmms and mplayer, both superior to anything like winmediaplayer.... The best feature of this player is definately its quick loading and skins...awsum

Ah, that is excellent...very useful when it comes to mambo, whic i love so dearly aswell.

Ooooo, nasty...hope that has not caused you any problems...

Doesn't sound that good, but then again, I do not like HYIP anyway...hope you have good luck with it though, and thanks for the recommendation anyway...regards,melkonianarg

I am a both person also, i design some of the site and then make it professional with the CMS systems...stuff i couldn't dream of doing....

I am interested in doing some sigs aswell, out of interest:Do you start with a load of images, (in your case the background, name, and guy on side)and then put them together?DO you also 'make' these images yourself, or are they borrowed?Thanks for any answers, or advice given...melkonianarg

I can't even find anywhere to sign up!!! I must be blind, or is there nothing saying SIGN UP on the front page? Very strange...well, I dont think i'll join anyway, I am non-US so they probably wont except my registering anyway...

Roses, wow, how old are you? How much did they cost? Really going all out, eh? Well nice to see that some us are still thoughtfull enough...hehe, although i have never purchased roses before....

I use gentoo on my laptop and, i am sorry to say, windows on my desktop, but the other people in my household need to use the desktop so i need something VERY user friendly for that, hehe hence windows...although i dont see the problem with KDE or GNOME on gentoo if i just defaulted the boot directly into KDM which is what i do on my laptop anyway...maybe i will do that some day...

Yep, that is the smallest OUT OF THE BOX linux that i know of aswell...though i will keep lookin, for me and for you...

I think that the poll speaks for itself...it is an overwelming majority that prefer linux, and personally my fav. distro at the moment is gentoo...had very few problems with it...i have also posted a bit more about it on a different thread somewhere in this section if you want to know more...also visit: https://www.gentoo.org/

Also to answer the question 'is it free?', well yes and no...Many very good linux distros do infact come at a price, like redhat or suse, but then again, some dont like ubuntu debian gentoo to name but some...For the person that said setting up gentoo was a lengthy proccess, I would have to ask the question : What part, installing or getting hardware and internet to work after install? The install was generally problem free and I was able to do it within a day...getting a GUI setup and everything after that took me closer to 4-5 days, but i learnt so much it was unimaginable, so if you wan to learn about linux, and be able to use your OS from the command line like me, please do try gentoo...but if not stick with ubuntu, or something like that...hope that covers some of the questions asked...regards,melkonianarg

Well, if any light is strong enough there will be a small amount of refraction anyway, i.e. th elight will bend and bounce off other materials such as the ground and walls...the only answer I can give is this...There is no light, or lack of light, where what you call a 'shadow' is, because there is an object blocking the light from reflecting off the ground...therefore, because of your arguements above, we cannot actually call the 'shadow' a shoadow, because nothing is casting it...it just so happens that light cannot reach the spot where the pole and the mans shodow would usuallyy be cast...How is that for an answer? (It may be a little hard to follow, sorry, but it was flowing from my mind and i didn't want to have to re-write for perposes of actually making sense! )
