How big can the internet get? In a time where more and more Chinese people get access to the internet there rise some questions. India is 1 of the top computer software managing countries in the world. Africa did just start using the internet. In California the electricity supply becomes a problem. So the question rises how much more the internet can grow. The deliverance of internet addressed reaches almost its limits. A new protocol has to be made to be able to give out more internet addresses in the nearby future. Computers, storage servers and server farms demand more and more electricity. The computers need telephone wires. They are not availbable everywhere in Africa at the moment. So when the people in China start to use the internet in the same way like the people in America and Europe the use of the internet can explode. Are there enough supplies, computers, servers and instrastrucute available to enable the growth that can be expected?

1 of the things that is seen like 1 of the biggest innovations in the area of computer parts and the upgrade of the computer is the solid state disk. A solid state disk contains different flash cards and a controller to write and read information on the flash cards. A ssd is seen like 1 of the most expensive computer parts compared to other computer parts. And an ssd is seen like improving the speed of the computer in a big way. The computer starts much faster compared to a computer with a hard disk. The computer doesn't make noise made by the hard disk anymore. And the ssd doesn't get warm. So the ssd is fast, cold and doesn't need much electricity. The disadvantages are the price and the amount of disk space. Compared to nowadays hard disks of 500 GB, 1, 1,5 and 2 Terrybytes the averadge hard disk of 50 to 90 gigabytes is seen as pretty small. And bigger ssd's are much more expensive. Nevertheless some people consider building an ssd in the computer is 1 of the best ways to upgrade the computer in 2010. OCZ ssd Vertex 2 $ 145,90 at newegg.com. 60 Gigabytes.

Does Spelling Count Reflection on Jack Connors story
inea replied to Adell's topic in General Discussion
Does spelling count? This question can be make bigger by asking for whom and in what context and for what reason and for what goal. This might make it more easy to answer the question. And it is possible to set some points to what the subject in question, being spelling in this topic, has to agree to in order to be able to judge the subject. So this means that an attempt can be made to set some questions that need to be answered in order to give an answer that is based on a sort of fundation.For instance the importancy of communication can be considered. And the writer can find it important that the reader understands what the writer wrote. And so spelling can help to make the ideas of the writer clear to the reader. So if the cause of information and the desire to be clear are taken in account and when spelling helps the communication and when correct spelling helps to make the text and the meaning of the text and the meaning of the writer more clear to the reader it can be concluded that taken those points in account and for those points correct spelling can be of use. -
Thanks For Having This Forum On The Internet hi
inea replied to smithmary's topic in General Discussion
What is ment by this phrase? Does it mean that there are a lot of topics available on the Xisto? Or does it mean that a lot of users upload posts that have a content with a sincere meaning? An attempt to explain the difference between other forums and this forum will be appreciated. -
Gordon Ramsey is a cook. And he is a kitchen chef. He is a television program maker too. And he writes books. He owns a lot of restaurants. Some of his restaurants have high scores from restaurant star measure organisations. The rumour is that he is millionair. He makes mostly two kind of programs. In 1 of his programs he looks for a person who wins to run 1 of his restaurants. The other program is a show in which he tries to save a restaurant from getting bankrupt. His approach is a bit controversial. He swears a lot. And he has a habit to be angry to people in order to let them obey him. On the other hand it seems he can really help restaurant owners who got lost. His program is usually set up in the same order. He comes into the restaurant, meets the owner and orders a lunch. So he sees what the food the restaurant offers looks and tasts like. Then he meets the kitchen crew. He checks the quality of the kitchen and the refridgerators. He inspects how clean the kitchen and the place where the food is stored are. If necessary he let them clean everything. A clean kitchen seems to be his base for improving the restaurant.

There is a program on television about dogs. There is a man who helps the owner of a dog. The dog usually has behaviour issues. Like the dog pulls very much, barks too much, people are afraid the dog will bite. In general the dog shows a behaviour the owner doesn't like. The dog whisperer visits the owner and the dog. He teaches the owner how to understand the dog. And he teaches the owner of the dog how to approach the dog in order to get a nice behaviour of the dog. The question raised in this topic is if the approach of the dog whisperer is approved with. It seems the approach of the dog whisperer needs a lot of time and attention of the dow owner to get some results. And other dog owners don't usually have many problems with their dogs. So the question is if the approach of the dog whisperer is necessary for every dog owner. Or maybe other dog owners react towards their dog in the right way. And with the right way is ment a way that causes the dog to behave and react towards the dog owner, other people and other dogs and other pets and traffic and cars and the furniture in a way the dog owner likes and approves with.

How many members post regularly on the forum? It seems pretty hard to post more than 10 posts. Because after a while the posts with interesting topics seem to be full. And new topics and new posts and new insights and views are not added very much.There is a bit of consideration of the content of other members necessary to be able to post something about a topic and to answer the post of somebody else. If the posts of other members are not very enjoyable and not on topic this might spoil the pleasure the forum can offer. On the other hand people can offer new views on topics without being aware they offer great new ideas to the topic starter and to other members. So the results of using this forum can be of much more influence to somebody than other members realize.

A solar boat travels around the earth. The boat is powered by solar panels. The boat makes this trip to promote the use of solar energy. Will solar electricity become a way to get energy in the nearby future?

Windows seems to be the operating program that is installed in a lot of computers. And Apple seems to have got a small portion of the market. And Linux seems to have eaven a smallier part. This can be considered a kind of strange. Since Linux is free. And Windows costs a lot more. There are probably many reasons to find why Windows is used more compared to the operating programs of Apple and Linux. Maybe the efforts to get Linux working are too big compare to the price people are willing to pay for their operating program. And Apple costs maybe too much for a lot of people.Other options people take in consideration are maybe the service provided by software service companies, the availibity of other programs that run on the operating program and the easiness of Windows. Maybe the advertisement and promotion actions of Microsoft are of importancy too.It seems nevertheless strange that 1 company can earn big profits by products while other companies don't copy the approach and make their own product to sell on the market that seems to offer big revenues.

Death penalty seems to depend of the idea, that somebody lost his or her rights to be a part of the society. Or the staying alive of this person endangers of the well being of other members of the society so much that it seems better for the sake of the society and other members of the society that the person who committed a crime is taken out of the society.It can be possible too, that the death penalty is used to warn other people not to commit a crime. Because the execution of the death penalty warns other people, who might consider to commit a crime, not to commit this crime because this execution of the death penalty warns them what the results of their crime might be.This is not completely fair towards the person who gets executed. Because the acts and possible future acts of other people and the fear for them and the wish to prevend other people from committing crimes causes the execution of the death penalty to somebody, who has nothing or not much to do with the possible crimes of other people.China, the United States and Iran seem to be states where the death penalty is executed. This offers the question whether or not the death penalty is necessary in criminal law.

What is the best depends of the needs and the supplies of the user. If somebody has a budget there is the possibility to consider paid hosting. And the size of the website and the amount of expected viewers and the needed bandwidth and space are point to consider when looking for a webhost. The point here is if the offer of Xisto combined with the webhost makes some sense. When it is too hard to get a website and when it takes too much effort to earn a free website by posting the offer might not be as nice as it looks.If somebody who tries to earn the necessary points and credits gets told of on the forum it is for instance not a good deal. The pleasure of getting a free website is spoiled by the experience while posting and earning points and credits.If after a lot of posting and accepting the nasty comments made by other users a website is earned and the website is built and online and by reports of other users the account gets deleted, the points and credits are withdrawn and the website is put offline the efforts might seem to be done in vain. So there are more sides that can be taken in account to consider if an offer is a deal whit which the member of this forum can be happy with.On the other hand the free offer of webspace can be very enjoyable for people, who like to have a website without the need to pay for it. Or people who don't have a credit card have the opportunity to get a website too. Because sometimes it gets difficult to get something online without a credit card. An example is a webhost, that only accepts payments made by credit card. A person without a credit card doesn't have the opportunity to use the offers of this webhost.So the consideration of the apprication of the offer of a free website can depend of a lot of circumstances.

What is the best deal that can be made with the Knowledgesutradollars? Is this the 10yearsrpackage? It seems to offer webspace for a small website for 10 years in a row. Or is it the package that needs to be paid every month with earnt Knowledgesutradollars? The disadvantages of the 10 years package seem to be the relative small amount of server storage space. And it seems only 1 website can be hosted. And it needs about 100 posts to earn the knowledgesutradollars to buy this package. The advantages of this package seem to be that for 10 years a webspace is available. There is no need for posting anymore just in order to keep the website online. The advantage of the package with the monthly terms and payments is that after a few post and with Xisto$ 2,-- a start can be made. The disadvantage of this package seems that a lot of posts is needed to keep the website online. And a lot of posts made in advance or repeatedly every month or so is needed. So the 10 year package seems to have some advantage compared to the monthy paid package, when the amount of bandwidth and storage space is enough for the purpose of the owner of the website. Here is the link to the different options for a website. https://support.xisto.com/cart.php Here is a copy of the window with the different options. Copied and pasted. End of copy and paste. The almost $ 100,-- package with unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth needs about 1.000 posts. In an averadge of 5 posts a day 200 days are needed to earn this package. And this needs to be done each year again. So this package doesn't seem to be a package that can be earnt by posting easily.

The rights and stuff are probably easy to find on the site of the Facebook. But a link to the webpage where the rules were found would make it more easy to check the quotes.

Those are interesting replies to the topic. The interference with the freedom of people who use the internet for usual activities is indeed an issue. There is a balance needed between the defense of the weak and the freedom of the strong.

It seems that in history and culture science Western culture is considered to be the centre of the world. All emphasis is put on the achievements of Western society. The start of this topic seems to spread this idea too. http://forums.xisto.com/topic/40185-why-did-the-roman-empire-fall-the-reasons-for-its-decline-and-fall/page-3 The idea is that Europe was the known world. The history of Europe is important, if not the most important. This results in a big influence of the ancient Greek philosophy and ideas about the way politics and the state should be organized. It results for instance in the opinion, that democraty is the best way to give influence to the people about the government of the state. It can be discussed, that the history of about 5.000 years of continuing culture of China has its own influence and importancy too. And the same can be said about India, Asia, Japan, South-America and Africa. But the results of the societies in other parts of the world and other continents seem to be of less interest in Western societies and Western science. It seems that the benefits of other cultures are neglected. It can be argued that a balanced view of the world needs to take in account the results of the cultures and the societies outside Europe and North-America too.

There are several experts busy trying to find the reasons of the crises of 2010. One of the reasons seems to be the turning around of the purpose of selling mortgages. A mortgage is the money somebody gets from the bank in order to buy a house. If the person doesn pay enough money to the bank the bank will sell the house in order to get their money back. Mortgages are put together and sold to other companies and other banks. The original reason was to spread and minimize the risk. When mortgages are combined and controlled by several different banks and companies the risks are smaller. But this resulted in a policy in which the mortgages are sold in order to gain profits by them. The idea was that mortgages are safe investments, because the money of a mortgage will always be returned. If the owner of the morgage and the house cann't pay the interests and the costs and the peridioc payments the house gets sold. And the price of the house is used to solve the debt of the mortgage. But it proved that when the prices of the houses drop and when too many houses are sold by the banks and with other circumstances, the mortgages don't get paid back. So the companies and the banks that bought the packets of mortgages lost a lot of money. This was probably never expected by the chief officers of the companies and the banks. There are probably more reasons for the crises the Western countries face nowadays. The way mortgages were considered to be safe investments and the way mortgages have been traded seem to be 1 of the reasons that caused the crises.

There are a few simple rules to manage a company. The management of a company often involves the management of people. And to manage people these steps are important:1. be clear.Make it very obvious what you want. People tend sometimes to like to do what you want. The first thing to make sure people do what you like them to do is to make clear to them what it is what you want.2. offer the possibilities to do the job.3. control if the task is done.4. if it is necessary, make changes.For some managers it seems that giving a task is enough. After given the taks to the workers the manager expects that the task will be done. But this is not always the case. So a part of manage people is to check if the taks is done the way the manager wanted the task to be done. And the second part of this controlling is to make changes if the task is not done the way the manager wanted. So then rule 1 applies again. And the cyclus of being clear, let the job be done and check if the job is done properly and change things if necessary starts over again.

Some years ago it seemed that international business was all about making debts. When the interests of the debts are lower than the profits the money of the debts offer it seems good management to use the money of somebody else to increase the profits. The bad part of making debts is that debts are risky. In usually situations the debts have to be paid back. And if business is bad it might become a problem to pay back the debts. This can result in a situation that the company becomes dependent of the banks. If costs are paid from saved money, earnt by the company with its own activities, the company faces losses if the business goes bad. But the company doesn't get into trouble with the banks. And the company stays independent. Doing business with money from loans seems interesting and profitable. That is probably the reason why loads of companies have made debts. With a small amount of own money it is possible to make big profits by using debts like a financial tool. And there was and is a huge admiration for managers who manage to get loads of profits for the people who invest in their company, the stake holders and the owners of the company. The financial risks of debts seem to be forgotten. The results are like the play of the little stones, that throw down eachother when the first 1 starts to fall down. Because in the system lots of companies and banks are dependent of eachother the fall of the first one results in the downfall of a lot of other companies and banks. So this means that the financial and economical system of international business is not stable. For the short term big profits are reachable. In the long term big losses are made too. This results in the idea, that it can be important to give more attention to the opinion, that debts are risky.

Lets suppose a person is the manager of a company. Or maybe the person is the owner. It happens that a manager sees that the company got in a situation where it has big debts. And the profits are not high enough to solve the debts. So the solution to get out of this situation looks like this: Increase the income and decrease the costs. The increase of income helps for several reasons. First it helps to pay the usually and necessary costs. Second more income provides space to pay the interests of the debts. And third it provides the possibility to pay off the debts. The decrease of costs helps to improve the situation too. Less costs make it more easy to run the company with the income the company earns. Less costs make it possible to find money to solve the issue with the banks, that provided the debts. If it seems that it is not possible to increase the income and to lower the costs the result might be that the company has in the long term no reason and no economical stable base to exist.

It seems loads of those emails are sent. And if a large of amount of people are reached it is possible to find someone who wants to take the risk and who sends their relevant information to the email senders. It seems harmless. But it is not. It seems that they know ways to take money from bank accounts. Or after sending some information which assures the email is correct more and more requests come to send some money. Like for the travel costs to come to Europe. There have been reports and articles about those activities in the newspapers. Off topic: What is said about free tickets is without a doubt very interesting. It just seems the issue about the free tickets is not what this topic is about. So it seems the new member ment to post in another topic.

Is there a special Internet Police Department needed? Since internet crime and internet safety differ very much from old fashioned crime and things like bank robbery, car thefts and burgling a special police force especially trained and working on digital crime fighting might be a bit successfull. The advantages are that people know it exists. so the pure the existence of an internet police department can prevent some people from starting a crime. Another advantage is that victims know where to report what happened. And an Internet Police squad can gather knowledge. The Internet Police can address the internet hosts more easily, because the internet hosts and internet companies know the existence of the Internet Police. So they know that a request to block a website or some other action comes from a trusthworthy source.

Lets suppose this example happens. Somebody starts a topic. After some time the topic starter realizes the topic could infringe the rules. Or some other members indicate that the topic can break the rules of the forum. So the topic starter might like the topic to be removed. Or the topic starter wants to change the content of the topic. It is possible that somebody changes the mind about the content of a topic. Changing what the topic is about is a sort of deleting the content too.
