  1. Obviously they are having a few problems with it. It was suppose to be released in 2008. What is the big deal about the Boeing 787? Like whats new? The design looks exactly the same as the Boeing 767 and Boeing 747. Sometimes I look at airplanes and I am astonished. In fifty or sixty years, we went from riding horses to flying around in the sky. Its really amazing.


  2. I don't think anyone really wants to know when they dead. The only way someone could possibly live knowing when their death is going to come is if they live in a culture that completely glorify death to the extent that people can't wait for it to come. People have tried to glorify death in the past. For example, Haven upon death sounds glorified. After you die, you live a happy life and walk on street paved in gold. That sounds like somewhere that I would like to go. However, in the subconscious people really understand that death is surrounded by mystery and men fear what they don't know. Therefore, its probably not wise to know (paradox) the date of an event that is surrounded by mystery. Then if you know how you die, that would be equally terrible. This would mean that not only do you know what day and time you're going to die, but you also know that the truck on side of you is about to run over your face. In a way though, I think that some of us may have to deal with knowing that death is on the way. It seems like some people know when death is near. They go to their family house and give hints without saying it directly, and tell their family that they love them and bye. Lets face it, most people would rather not tell their family directly that they think that death is near. The reaction of your family, if they believe you, would not be a happy one. The second biggest fear of death (for me at least), aside from not knowing, is leaving family and friends behind to mourn. I will have to briefly contradict myself because there are exceptions. If I was going to die tomorrow, I may want to know so that I can spend the time I have left with my family. However, I don't think I would want to know a year ahead of time or even a month. Of course this is all "I think" because I really don't know if I would even want to know about death a day before. Its a very complicated issues and I believe the best thing that we can do is live life to the fullest and do what we think is right deep inside (not what others think is right). If you live life in a way that it could not have been any different in the sense of being true to yourself, then there are no regrets at death no matter when it occurs. You don't have to wonder if you are going to cease to exist, go to heaven, go to hell, reincarnate, or whatever, because whatever happens was meant to be.


  3. Of course I am attending college in August and my passion is history. However, I have always wanted to know how to code games and software. I have actually wanted to learn at least one programming language well for a while now. However, every time I Google it, I get disenchanted and confused. Have anyone learned a programming language independently? Did anyone take a college class to learn a programming language?Also, how long did it take you to learn a particular programming language and what projects have you been able to accomplish with them?


  4. well harlot i will try to explain more about ASP for you:ASP is the shortcut of ACTIVE SERVER PAGES, it is a programming language that make you create dynamic and interactive web pages, just like PHP.
    a lot of applications and websites using ASP, especially now, after releasing ASP.NET which is part of MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO. it is so popular for those who use VISUAL STUDIO, and want to get a certification from micrpsoft.
    and just like PHP using MYSQL to manipulate with database,ASP using ADO to manipulate with database.
    also it could deal with AJAX, JAVASCRIPT and CSS just like PHP.
    hope this brief information will be useful to you. :)


    Thanks web, I am going to Google it tomorrow and see what it is all about. I have heard of Visual Basics, I think that is a problem similar to Visual Studios. I actually had Visual Basics but never learned how do anything with it except for create a crappy browser using a step by step tutorial where I just copy and paste what they told me to copy and paste.

    I do remember hearing about ASP on facebook maybe. It may have been regarding facebook apps or something along that line.

  5. I live in the Philippines where Gas prices are really high in relation to the average family income and people seem to think that when you have those v8 engine automobile even the old ones, your really rich cause you can afford to use them, well i think its really a bad concept. Because there really is no high mountains or any thing of that kind around here, they just use them for the pure arrogance of using them. Well mostly only celebrities and super rich people use them around here.


    Yeah, people love to show off and make it appear as if they have more money than they truly do. Where I live, to show off they buy expensive rims and most of the time the rims are worth more than the car. Some people are culture shocked when they see people buying rims that cost more than the car itself. In fact, there are some people who pay a monthly bill for their car rims and then drive around bumps on the road so that they won't damage the rims.

    As for gas, I don't think its a big problem in the United States. The people who are hit the hardest are those who living under the poverty line. But I don't understand why people try to show off. My uncle was actually jacked of his car yesterday at gun point. He had the big rims and nice paint on it. Its really dangerous in some parts of town to have an expensive car or expensive equipment on a car. They left him standing on the side of the road, but he was lucky because a lot of people are shot down and their car is just taken.

  6. I really have no idea what ASP is and I have never used it. I can't really classify myself as an expert of any programming language, not even html. I was introduced to php because most software such as forums, portals, and blogs use it as their programming languages. So when you have to deal with forums such as PHPBB and edit copy/paste hundreds of lines of php, you learn a little bit about it. It seems that those who posted before me, such as SemSem know more about it then I do. However, I do know that all the major softwares are in php. For blogs and portals, both WordPress, Joomla, PhpNuke, and etc use php. All of the major forums use php. I don't even know a single software that uses ASP, can anyone mention are popular software that uses it?


  7. I would have to agree with many of those in this post. There are so many dumb things that I have done in my short life span, and I guess I have a lot more dumb things to do in the future. I just try my best to learn from the mistakes of other and observe the mistakes of those older than me. I would have to say mistakes including stealing, smoking, and hanging around the wrong people. Many people in my age group have died hanging around the wrong people or being seen with the wrong people.One of my class mates from the 8th grade only has one leg now because he was hanging around a dude that was robbing people home. The people game to the guy house, and when the guy wasn't there they took him instead and tried to kill him. There are other people who I know that were shot down in the streets or killed and thrown into an abandon house. I use to hang around a guy in middle school who got to high school and shot down a old woman down in the streets while trying to rob her. He now has life in prison. The majority of people I hung around ten years ago are probably dead or imprisoned. I was always told that, but never believe it. My teachers would always say, "Look around you, in ten years the majority of them will be dead or imprisoned, I hope one of them isn't you". I ran into one of my years a few months back at an awards ceremony. I was receiving all these awards and I bumped into her after the program and she start crying. She said that I must have hit a 360. However, I think the best way to minimize mistakes is you have knowledge of yourself and find something to be passionate about. I placed on my focus on studying history and politics, and that is when certain people stopped hanging around me. I read way too much and we simply couldn't relate anymore. Some of the friends that I run into, I can't relate to them at all anymore and both of us notice it as soon as we open our mouth to greet one another. A revolutionist named H.Rap Brown was great at articulating in his book "Die *BLEEP* Die" not being able to relate to old friends who have spent most of their early life on the street corner while you have spent a significant time of your early life in books.


  8. It may have more to do with the culture and society that you live in web_designer. My surroundings indicate that both genders are picky. The men want the perfect women and vice-versa. I believe that is a large difference in societies who oppress women rights and it resort in women having less of a say-so about the standards that the perfect man should have. It really depends on where you live. If you come to the United States, women are really out of control by Eastern standards. Men really don't have control over what a woman wears, or how see conducts herself in public (unless he is willing to beat his wife or girlfriend). A lot of Eastern women come to the United States and after meeting a few American women, they are murders for disobeying their husband and enjoying the American way. "Girl why you wearing all those cloths" "Girl you don't have to do what he tell you to do, this is America""Girl, he aint yo daddy""Girl, my husband told me that and I put him on the couch"You just have to find the person who is right for you and respect you as a woman. Many guys get a little taste of power and they abuse it. It starts off with them wanting to know where you are and next thing you know its a full blown beat down.


  9. I am not sure about the relation between dreams in reality, such as the assertion that if you die in a dream, you could die in reality. However, I did hear of an incident where an individual had a nightmare and it resulted in an heart attack. I believe it was some sort of medical condition however, and not the typical nightmare or dream.


  10. Q: So are you saying that I should let her call me a...?A: The customer is always right. Q: What do you mean by "We have to take our county back"? :huh: A: Nooo, you don't know me, I voted for Obama!Q: Are you the father?A: NoQ: Why should I take you backA: Baby, I am a changed man.


  11. I no longer believe that all these singers are Satanic. Even if they are, I believe that it is being completely overblown by conspiracy theorist, which is what usually happens to every issue. Some nut comes in and start saying that the music industry is hiding aliens and literally sold their soul for wealth. Maybe they do worship Satan and hide aliens, but what evidence does anyone have to even come to that conclusion in the first place? I was talking to a guy at school a year ago, and he was telling me about the Illuminati and how the entire music industry is controlled by them. Hey, it may be true, but why was he so certain? He really had no evidence to come to such a conclusion other than a thirty minute YouTube video that was filled with propaganda. I had a brilliant history teacher who use to say, "The Mind is Delicate". That was one of the most truthful things that he said and it stuck with me. If you can convince people that the music industry is controlled by a Satanic group with a few thirty minute videos, the mind is definitely delicate. The amusing thing is that about a week after I talked to the guy about it, half of the school was talking about the Illuminati and the music industry. They begin to listen to the music backwards, but the funny thing is that despite the fact that they felt the music industry was Satanic, they continued to listen to the music. Some even said that they wanted to join the Illuminati...hahaha! There are so many conspiracies that I don't believe any of them without at least a small tad of proof. The Bilderberg Group conspiracy makes a little sense, or parts of it are believable. I say this because why would all these powerful people be meeting. What are they discussing and why it is behind closed doors? I am going off topic a bit, but the point is that I don't believe that the subliminal messages are necessarily Satanic or intentional.


  12. I really don't like the new look, and I prefer the old way. If something is not broke, than it shouldn't be fixed. It Google Images was more simple before, and that is how most people like it. It seems like websites are trading in simplicity and becoming more complicated. Even face book recently redesigned their events page, when it was in fact already fine.


  13. How can YOU say that Google is going on the RIGHT Track?
    I have a NETWORK setup and I do research with my friends here in my office. Why is it that I see ads about topics that my friends are researching while I m browsing my forums? I have wondered about this.

    Do you think they invade privacy?


    I can not believe that you just stated this OpaQue, it has been in the back of my mine for the last few days. Recently, I went on Google to look for some hair clippers. I spent quite a while looking for some and I eventually found some that I liked. My intentions were to find them online, and buy them from the store due to the fact that I don't have any money in my paypal account. Come to find out, none were available in the store, therefore I just simply decided to do without them.

    Believe it or not, I keep seeing those clippers on Google Ads. Not only that, but I also continue to see the 1 or 2 advertisements that always appear on my blog, on other people website whose niche does not even relate to those advertisements. I definitely believe that Google is violating privacy. It appears that they are making ads appear to people based on what they previously searched for on Google.

  14. This "MyCent" system really sounds interesting. I been trying to get it to work for quite a while, but I believe that a certain amount of post are required before you can begin to receive or see them. If your "MyCent" is based on the traffic and usefulness of your post, thank it brilliant. It actually reminds me of revenue sharing put in place by many freelance writing content websites such as Associated Content and Suite 101. I think that we should just take note of the beauty of the system and stop trying to figure it out :lol: I think the purpose of making credits based off of characters rather than post, was to simply stop spammers. If you look at most free hosting based forums who use post as a medium, they are spammed out. When you factor in characters and usefulness, even those who are simply in a community to get the benefits, will post useful information. So once again Kudos to Xisto!


  15. Opaque it really sounds like you need to get some managers at Xisto Corp as you seem to be doing to much work. Get a financial manager to do the financial stuff to pay your staff etc and get them to tell you the money you have made on a daily schedule. You are going to explode soon Opaque!


    I got excited when I saw that someone post, I thought I was getting a response to my question that has been sitting here for days :lol:

    However, I believe I found a thread that explained my problem. I may not have enough post yet. As for Opaque, stay strong and keep the faith baby :blush:

  16. The thing that I perhaps agree with the most is faith. I am not the most religious person, but I believe that one of the primary purpose of religion and faith is to help people deal with hard times. It is to give them something to believe in, to hold on to, so that they can have the courage to continue to move forward without burden. The most fearful thing about death is that we lack knowledge of it. Sense the existence of men, we have looked to the skies and asked ourselves two question. Those questions have been why are we here and why do we die (or what happens when we die). Most faiths answer both of those questions, even if they are not true, people want answers and explanations. The unknown is people biggest fear.


  17. I have the exact opposite problem. I need to gain weight, and it will probably not happen anytime soon because we can't afford enough food for me to eat three meals a day. I probably eat once a day on a good day, twice if I am lucky. In fact, sometimes I go an entire day with eating only a few snacks and it hits me hard in the morning. I just feel sorry for the homeless. I was attending a campaign event and I took a walk through a park that is filled with homeless people. I don't see how they maintain their weight. I think maybe my mom priories are not straight, and even though we are poor and make less than 10k a year, there are places were we can cut spending. But lucky, I just graduated from high school and ill be going to college in August. Maybe I can uplift myself out of this condition. My sister is already enrolled in college and she intends on being a nurse. My mom got pregnant and decided to drop out of high school, which explains out situation. Also dad is a deadbeat. Anyway, if you want to lose weight, much much much less. Instead of eating meals, eat peanuts and just enough to keep you moving. Exercise is good, but usually what happens is people eat more in order to compensate for the calories used while exercising.Therefore you lose little weight.


  18. I don't think that is a big surprise. I don't know anyone, as in corporations, who use wood as their main source of energy. In all honestly, I simply don't see the current alternative energies that are in existence as feasible. Solar energy, in my opinion, is the only clean form of energy that I believe has great potential.


  19. The fact is that we have had this oil spill leaking in the gulf for months now. It is becoming more and more evident that BP and the national government have no method of stopping it except for a nuclear explosion at the moment. I agree that setting off a nuclear explosion in the gulf could have terrible consequences and I am not an expert on the issue. However, it is really short sighted to dismiss the option, especially due to the fact that many experts support the move. We much also consider the historical use of the nuclear bomb in order to resolve problems such as these. Russia has nuked many leaking oil/gas wells, and it has consistently worked for them. The only difference is that those nuclear explosions were set off on land rather than the sea. But, I have yet to see anyone present any reasonable solution to stopping the oil spill in the gulf, which will eventually spread to the East Coast, except for the nuclear explosion. As I stated before, yes it could turn for the worst. Instead of facing a terrible oil spill, we could be facing a terrible radiation guzzling oil spill . There is no lack of risk, but I don't believe it is such a terrible idea when looking at the list of options that are available. The options that I have seen are.......errr.....I can't think of any. We tried to cap it, that didn't work so we can check that off the list. We tried putting golf balls in the leak (yes we were desperate), and that only gave the fish something else to chock. Now it seems as if we are out of ideas.
