  1. Overall, I'm satisfied with my 2 months playing Guild Wars so far. I play it in my spare time, which with school isn't so much I like the amount of interaction that there is, and how multi-player oriented it is, as it's much more fun to go on a mission with other people instead of all alonesome. If they really are going to increase the level cap in expansions, that will be awesome, I dislike the lvl 20 cap right now. I only have 1 character, as I only have time for 1, a lvl 20 Necromancer/Mesmer, which I like a lot, because she has a lot of tricks that work well together, especially in PvP. Overall, i would recommend buying it if you want to play a game online without a monthly fee, as it makes life a lot easier, especially for people without jobs like me.....
  2. Is it just me, or does that just really disturb some people! I want to go 6 feet under like normal, I don't want to see myself on someone's finger/neck/ear! Taking a consensus of my friends in class next to me, 5/5 find the idea of this disturbing, although one of them had the first response of "which relative"
  3. First off, has anyone even heard os Shadowrun before? It's a pen and paper game similar to Dungeons and Dragons, but geared towards a more mature audience. There are several different races, including human, elf, dwarf, and troll to pick from. There are also several different paths that you can talk, either through magic, training, or bodily implants/replacements. This is set in the future, so the possibilities are quite amazing! My current character, Decessus, is a simple troll, 8 ft tall, 185Kg, guy. He loves to do jobs, and is very hard to kill, especially when I have him armed with his all time favorite gun, and assault cannon, which does 17d6 damage on a direct hit(fyi, the average character has 6-7 health, and maybe 10 armor, so 17d6 can be anywhere from 17 to 102 damage there). It's a great way for your friends to waste an afternoon/overnighter, post or PM me if you have any questions.
  4. Well, they finally did! Introducing GoogleTalk! If you have Gmail and want to use Gtalk, you can get it HERE, but it's only in beta, even more basic than Gmail was when it started up
  5. I know the feeling, I'm using Bitlord as well, as my friend recommended it to me. I'm also on a 256k DSL line, shared with 2 dektops, and 2 laptops. so bandwidth is an annoying problem sometimes. Overall, I like the performance in it, but i really dislike the inability to change the default search page I would have to give it a 7/10
  6. I was just wondering how you created the little box whenever an admin or moderator edits a post? I'm an admin at another forum i created for my school, and was wondering exactly how such a thing is accomplished, as it helps to point out to other members what not to do, and how to fix it a lot better than simply editing the post. Any help here would be appreciated.
  7. Just wondering, but since we already have an Internet forum, what about a webcomic forum? I know that there are hundreds of webcomics out there, and there are people who read them religiously(I admit, I fit in that category), so what about creating a webcomics forum, so users can discuss what their views are on different webcomics?
  8. Just a random question, has anyone actually tried the talk feature on GoogleTalk yet? I haven't had a chance to yet, so i was wondering about someone else's experiences with it
  9. Recently (2 days ago) Google released their own Instant Messanger program, in a beta release. If you would like to try it out, go to this link https://www.google.com/hangouts/ to download the free app. It's a 900KB download, so even those on 56k modems can get it in minutes. What I've seen so far in GIM: Automatic addition of all your Gmail contacts to your friends list Check your Gmail from the app. Custom away messages, as of now, do not save when you sign out There is not a way to change fonts or and other richtext options yet, will be in a later release The only text formatting I know of is when you type with an asterisk on each side of your text, it shows up in bold. I.E *hello* will display as hello You can invite anyone from outside of Gmail to a gmail account, and GoogleTalk at teh same time, with 3 easy steps. Unfortunately, GoogleTalk is in beta stages, and is only open to users who have a Gmail account.
  10. Unfortunately, I'm not special enough to have a Chinese name with an English name of Siebren How sad........Good lucek to everyone out there with non-normal names!
  11. Tuesday, November 8, 2061 Seconds left to live...1,773,664,148Grr, looks like you'll beat me out grr
  12. It's really amazing how much Disney pours into R&D for their parks. All of the rides are designed so that they will remain popular for years, in order to make the most profit. A neat thing, if you have a friend who is an albino(I know, there aren't many), you get to use the employee tunnels in the park, because an albino burns so easily, and has to stay out of the sun from 12-3, you also get back-passses for all the rides! Awesome little trick, but hard to pull off(you have to have a friend who is an albino!)
  13. Building your own computer is of course the best way to go. I recently finished building mine 2 months ago, and can't complain at all. course, I got most of it as a gift, and only paid about $100 for it.

  14. yeah, the reason for the absolute path is using dreamweaver and drag and drop. thanks for pointing that out gotta fix it, and thanks for all of your help, Gotta go do some coding now
  15. Problem solved, I was right, it's my school's network blocking ports. *note to Mods*This post is no longer necessary, the problem is gone.*end note*
  16. hmm, I think it might possible be a blocked port in my school's network. I'll try again when I get home
  17. I win It had a 133 MHz proc, 6 Mb RAM, and a 256 MB hard drive, running on the version of Windows 3.1 that didn't have mouse support I can't believ how long I had that thing, mom made me toss it 2 months ago It still worked, thats the scary part
  18. I'm actually using Firefox as my browser, and I don't see any options like that, except for the allowed pop up sites and the allowed sites to install software. I'm still getting the same error, no matter what options I'm changing.
  19. Overall, if you are networking wirelessly, it depends on what you are getting. I am using a D-Link router at home, with my dad's comp hardlined into it, and my sister's laptop and my desktop on wireless. My sister's laptop has a D-Link airplus wirless G Cardbus card, and I can get a signal with it anywhere in the house, and it doesn't drop anything, or lose the connection. My desktop on the other hand is running on an airplus as well, but I got a cheap $10 one. It doesn't lose any packets or corrupt/change packets, but occaisonally it will simply drop the connection, annoying when I'm playing guild wars Overall, if your router and wirless PCI/Cardbus cards are from the same company, you are going to get a better service than if you mix and match. If you are atually on a satelite connection, you will get extremely fast connection/transfer speeds, but there is a major catch in the contract. If you download more than 100MB in a month, your connection speed will drop to less than a 56k modem, because you will get that 100 MB file in less than a minute, and the satelite companies don't want all of their bandwidth eaten up by massive downloaders. DSL on the other hand, can be fast, but it depends on who you are getting it from, and how close you are to the nearest repeater. I am on a DSL connection through SBC, but we are a ways from the repeater, and only paying $30 a month, so we get about a 266k connection, I max out at about 60kb/s download, but the upside of DSL, is I can get about a 500kb/s upload time. Cable, overall is your best choice if you want to download files, but it is also the most expensive besides satelite. If you get cable through Comcast, and you have Comcast cable, it will cost you $40 a month, but you also pay $8 month for modem rental fees, and a little more for slightly hidden fees. Cable is faster than DSL for downloads, but you will not get very great upload speeds. You have to be very careful with cable, and watch your bills, to see exactly how much you will pay a month.That's about it for now. PM me if you have any questions about what I've posted, or just ask it here.
  20. Whenever i try to access my cpanel through the URL, i get an operation timed out when contacting error. I can access the default index page HERE but whenever i try accessing the cpanel from the same place by adding/cpanel to the end, I get the operation timed out error as in when you click HERE I accessed it just fine yesterday, it all started today when I tried to access it to change/update my settings with Dreamweaver.
  21. It took her about a month and a half to do, then another 3 months to get it to me! She kept forgetting it at home, and she's a 45 minute drive away
  22. A trick I use when I'm struggling with reading the bible is to simply open to a random page, pick a spot, and read. It's always interesting to see where you end up, and it will really surprise you sometimes. Another really cool thing, is my ex-girlfriend gave me for a birthday present a little tin, and inside it are about 200+ folded slips of paper, and on each one is a verse, and it's a realy great encouragement to see the work that went into it.
  23. There is a free online version, but I have to talk to my friend, I haven't had a chance to look it up yet. He says that it works perfectly, and you can make your decks out of any cards that there are, so you can have a lot of fun. I'll post the link as soon as I get it.
  24. what do you use to skin an XBOX? would you use the same process for a PS2? I have had a PS2 for the last 2 years, and would be very interested in skinning it, it's looking a little worn
  25. This is amazing Swat. It is exactly the encouragement I needed to give to my friend. Prayers are amazing, and listening helps always.
