Welcome To Wal-mart! The first post in shopping?
Iniyila replied to Jonnyabc's topic in General Discussion
What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word "shopping"?hmm many things i first think of those girls who really like shopping and if you tell them come to go shopping, they will be ready in 1 minute but if you call them for any other reason they need a whole hour to be ready . another thing that came in my mind in the same time is the script i'm writing for an online shop.What is your favorite shopping store and/or website?favorite store of mine is ebay, you can get very cheap prices in there but lots of scam is in it too, like recently i bought a external h.d.d for around 15$ under its real price but when i get it i found that its case is broken but it is working anyway and you can not tell if this is happened during shipment or it was broken from first. by the way eaby is my favorite one because of price and many things you can find in it but do not get food product which are cheap because they may harm your health.What merchandise do you buy most frequently (excluding groceries and other absolute necessities)?Computer related hardwares and electronic related modules and kits.How often do you make a purchase on a SINGLE item that costs $100 (USD) or more?this really depends, i'm getting two type of items one group is those that i get for myself and for using in my home and second is the thing i get for customers, i get 6 or 7 items per year for myself usage but for customers it depends to the time near christmas i can tell i get around 40 items in a week which all were above 200$ but five months before it i only get 2 - 3 items above 100$ for my customers.How do you like to shop (store, online, email/phone)?Most of the time i first see the price and details of seller on the website then i call him to get more information and then i buy it trough the website so it is a mixture of phone and online, but going out for shopping is something else if you have time.When was the last time you seriously shopped for a loved one (if ever), such as for a Christmas gift?Last time is 2 days ago i bought a gift (for not any special event) but not from ebay because i didn't find in it with good price, i get my gift which was a G700 logitech mouse from a local store around my house. i find that my local store was selling it a way cheaper than ebay or any hardware related website and i really amazed by that.Do you browse, even if you don't have money to spend, or plain didn't plan to spend it?yes, this is what i'm doing most of the times, if you know ebay then probably you know that you should always search in it for finding interesting items with really cheap prices, so i'm nearly browsing ebay for 2 hour every day. if i plan for buying something it doesn't take more than 10 minutes to find and buy my interested item. -
Help Needed: Making A Website Mobile Friendly How? What software? etc
Iniyila replied to Jonnii's topic in Mobile Phones
as you said technology is progressing with huge speed these days, if you want your website to be good one mobile phones then just make it a little faster to load and nothing else is needed and you know why, because many mobile phones these days are having huge screens with high resolutions like 800*480 , and most of them are even using a browser which is very near to our desktop browsers. for example many phones today are equipped with android OS and this OS is the ability of using FireFox but do not think this mobile version is so much different with the one you use in your desktop, they are nearly same and even they release with same numbers, so the only thing may be important is that internet connection on phones is not very fast yet but they are now capable of rendering your website just like desktop browser and even as fast as them without any problme with flash and java objects, so don't worry about creating a mobile version. anyway if you are using any CMS like joomla, wordpress or drupal there are plugins available for making a mobile version. for forum softwares there is same plugins available too. if you have created your own website then here is some steps i have done some years ago to make a mobile friendly version of a website (i say again these things are not very necessary these days): the first step that everyone knows, just make a sub domain m.mydomain.com or anything you want. in the next step you can use some scripts to detect the browser to see if the viewer is seeing your page trough mobile redirect him to you mobile version of website (many of these scripts are available on the net just google it), in the next step you can write a file to include a logo (if you want) and some footer and then include the rss of your website in it using some scripts (which again is available on the net) and it is very important to not to show more than five of them otherwise your website is not very mobile friendly. As i don't know what you wanna to do currently i will not go into details too much, by the way remember to do not spending so much time for your mobile version because mobiles are getting close to desktop computers and so they can easily render a webpage that is built for a desktop PC browser. -
Hello and welcome to knwoledgesutraI should say welcome to this huge family which members of it trying to share their knowledge with each other and solving each other problems (i feel this is just what i'm saying to introduction so i make it a little different ), here you will face many subjects to talk about, every thing you think about have a section or sub directory here so if you didn't find your interested subject just use the search button, i'm sure you will find. As you were on the sister site too then probably you are familiar with process of getting a host. wish you the best luck!

hello again, today i want to talk a little about "BioShock" , it got 10 of 10 from many websites in its year and it got a 9 of 10 from gamespot so it is a good game for reviewers .The game starts with you trying to survive in a ocean and you will find a strange town under water which is called "Rapture", in game you will find this place is built for people who want to be safe from world war II but a war were happened in it because of a material called "adam" which makes people more powerful and more violent. there are something in the game which called "little Sisters" and depending on killing them the ending differs, i suggest you to kill all of them because i really don't like them. so the story is not a copy and it is something (somehow!) new, nad if you like story based FPS ones then this will satisfy you. The game is not a FPS completely it is a RPG too, there are many items which can be bought bye the money player gains during exploring the Rapture. Most electrical things in the game are hackable (like wending machines which with hacking them you can get discount for purchasing items) but for doing this you have to play and complete a mini game which is a puzzle game based on pipes. in game you can also take picture of camera and analyze them to get more damaging hits when you face that type of enemy again. there are many other items in the game like plasmids which i think talking about them to someone who played or not played this game is not a nice thing to do because if you have played it then you know what it is and if you haven't then you have to know it trough the game, saying here do not help too much.So there are many things you can do in the game, but kill'em all thing is not very enjoyable in this game. the guns are limited to pistol, machine gun, shot gun, grenade launcher, cross bow so this FPS doesn't have so much guns and as it doesn't have a sniper then you don't have to be worried about shooting from distance, and as the guns collection can tell i can even decrease stress of "S" in FPS , so comparing this game to titles like COD or even those who have better stories like F.E.A.R is not a nice thing. the game story is beautiful and the design of the city is great and as i said it is somehow a RPG too and you should not expect to see hundreds of enemy in a room to kill.The game environment is not scary but may be a little dead like, sound effects are well built and very accurate and it really does matter to have a great headphone while playing. the puzzles was a little annoying for me but not for many peoples who played it, the game tries to involve you in what is going on in that city so after sometime the player thinks that he is really doing a thing here. for getting the whole story you should listen to the tapes (i think what Singularity have is somehow an inspiration from this game) and so if you are a COD fan then probably you will get bored so just do not listen to them and do your work. the game is a combination of RPG and FPS and they have done it just great so i really suggest you to try this game.

'smokeless' E-cigarettes - Are they really safe?
Iniyila replied to filmdesire's topic in General Discussion
@ PhoenixGFX : actually i don't think this will work to honestly, i'm not a real smoker, i just smoke occasionally but i have tried these to see if they have any effect it is just trying to fake yourself, i mean you know it is not cigarette so every time you try to use it you really don't feel like smoking, so i don't know why peoples are using them. just like gum, smoking is not only keeping something in the mouth, smokers know what i mean when you are smoking you can feel a real different process and nothing like gum or this electronic cigarette doesn't feel like that and you soon will get tired of using it. if you want to try them you can just go to a super market they surely will have it because it is getting popular these days but as i said you will soon through it away because of no similarity with real smoking.These e-cigarettes provide nicotine, scientists think that after some smoking our body gets addicted to nicotine so we smoke again and again but they say smoke is dangerous way of getting nicotine so some of them have invented this thing to provide you vaporized nicotine without smoke and so it is healthier. they say it will give you similar sensation but in fact it doesn't, just think about it if this thing was really like a cigarette then nobody was smoking in the world anymore, you can not find someone who is happy from being a smoker so this thing is not giving you the same sensation or even half close to the real one. another strange thing is the LED light in the end of it, it is not so natural .Another problem is that most of this e-cigarettes are not standard and are not confirmed as healthy devices by world health organization. the liquid they are using in these cigarettes consists of many materials and no one exactly knows what are they so using them may cause dangerous health injuries. in some countries like Australia these things are confirmed and they sell it in their drug stores but in many countries they are still unconfirmed. when i was using e-cigarette for about 4 or 5 days i was coughing regularly and when i stopped using it and used my regular cigarettes again the problem solved so as i was not enjoying it as real cigarette and as it had side effect of coughing in me so i never used them again.I think if you want to quite smoking you should not try to find a replacement for it, some replacements like special gum or these E-cigarettes are having nicotine and many other things in it, so using them will not make you get ridding of nicotine addiction only you have replaced your paper built cigarette with a plastic one that may even be more dangerous and you will never enjoy it as the paper built ones. So if you want to really quite smoking just do not smoke and do not use anything instead too. its really hard but i think it is so much better than trying to find alternatives for smoking. -
As i said before the best way to choose a nice laptop is first trying to search internet to see if any major problem exist related to the model you want to buy, a nice place for searching is notebookreview website, search in their forums and you will find any major problem related to any specific model. some problems aren't really important like some dell keyboard getting dirty very soon or the problem with the lead of some hp ones which is a little loose or getting loose after some usage, this are not important as they do not affect the performance of your laptop. but there are some problems which can affect the performance like overheating of graphic card in some old HP models.Any good brand like sony, hp, dell and many others are completely reliable but if i have to choose a laptop by the brand factor then i go for sony ones, i will never buy a laptop without warranty because we can see many reliable brands like sony are producing laptops which needs serious repair after a month or two. Apple Mac Books are reliable too and very durable even i put my foot on my friends laptop when it was running and nothing happened and nothing braked. i think it is very important to buy a laptop which is not made in china, nowadays finding such laptops is a hard work and even if you find one most of its inside equipments are made in china, but i can see those sony laptops which are made in japan or u.s.a are having really more rigid body than those which are made in china. so the brand is not a very important factor but you should not choose from those brands which are not even having a website.Choosing a brand is really depended on the time, i mean look at 4 or 5 years ago, back then no one knew about MSI notebooks but now they are producing really high quality and durable laptops with very nice prices. so i think it is very important to see some reviews on the net from popular websites (like note book review) for finding if the brand you are looking for is any good or no. MSI is doing well with new laptop cpu like the second generation of corei7 for laptops and is producing very high performance laptops like their new GT680, so do not always think about those old and popular brands you know from years ago, there are always new and reliable brands coming out and you can give them a try.

there are many sports that i'm interested in, just like football, basketball, volleyball, etc. but the most favorite one is online PC-Console gaming i don't know if you call it a sport or no but i can prove it is a sport. you may think than a game is not a sport because you are not moving your body when you are doing it, then i should give you an example which proves games needs movement too. just think about microsoft XBOX kinect,watch the advertisement in youtube and see how it needs you to move to control the game, so it is a sport too. Another favorite sport of mine is football but only on TV i watch nearly every football game all over the world and i even record their exciting moments but i rarely play football in real life, some times when my friends insist on playing then i go and play some with them. but the only sport which is real sport (from your point of view) and i'm doing it everyday is running which i first started to do it for loosing weight but after some time i found it as a daily thing to do which when i don't do it, i think i have missed something. I think another sport that i'm doing is racing, here on our location every month they create a race for those who are interesting in car racing, the race is not a professional one and everyone with every car can participate in it so this made it a real fun but this race really destroys the cars because the road is not asphalt and it is a mountain road. so most of people bring their old and crappy cars and this doubles the fun as you can freely hit other cars and everyone is going too slow because the cars are not capable of going fast in such a road. these are my favorites sports but some of you may think some of them are not sport but anyway a sport should just make you happy and fresh and all of above things just do it for me.

@ Quatrux: all the reason why people are using solar energy is because they don't want to pollute air and using our fossil fuels , if we use diesel generator then why we produce electrical power at home ? getting it from a gas based power plant is so much cheaper and much more efficient. if you want a backup then use your town power network. using batteries only is wasting money because as i have said before you have to replace them with new ones regularly and so you have to pay a lot of money every year, but now in modern countries they do not save the electrical power that they get from solar panels, they sell it to their power network, so in the daylight you will sell what you get from sun to local power network and in the night you will buy your needed energy from that network again, by this way you don't need any batteries any more but the main problem is amount of energy that you can get by those solar panels in your roof.i think those things like the solar boat we can see above only is a fake competition between countries trying to say we have more solar technology than you have, because they are not a practical things to use. solar energy sometimes really can reduce costs, i can see some traffics lights having a little battery and solar plate on their head so they do not need extra wires that comes from underground to provide their energy and here you can save the cost, but you can only use solar energy for those traffic lights which are only a warning light (like blinking yellow ones) because if you use them in a crossroad then if the weather goes cloudy for a week it will not function any more and can cause serious problems but for a warning light not working for a day or two is not a very important thing. another example of good use is the calculators, you can see many calculators based on solar energy and they even work with light bulb above your head so they don't need batteries any more and this is a great feature. i think solar energy should be used in its right way, we should not try to do every of our daily works using it otherwise we have just wasted our time and money. right now selling the solar gained electrical power to your local power network is a nice thing to do rather than buying batteries and trying to save it for using in night.

I finished a game just right now and i was thinking about writing some review about it, actually i will send this one to a local game magazine too, the game name is "Dead Space 2" and i finished it just a minute ago.I don't know if you have played the first version of this game or not, but there were many people waiting for the second version of this extremely well built game. Isaac Clarke, the main character of the first version, is again the main character and again will face many problems. EA has used a new system for you who enjoy from torturing your enemies, this system is Strategic Dismemberment 2.0 and will let you to cut your enemies into pieces if you like (it depends on how you like it ). the game starts with the main character in a mental hospital and you will face many strange things from the start, every thing changes and every one transforms to monster then back again and the author tries to get your focus on what he wants to plot during the game. The game environment is not scary at all, but you should scare from what is not scary and never put down your gun. the game is really an strategic TPS, when you play it you will get what i mean, you can hit a fast enemy in his leg and decrease his speed of attacking and as you do not have enough ammo for killing by spraying your bullets all over so you have to really plan for killing every single enemy. some annoying things still are existing, you can not jump down from a little gap and many other things but as the game is always frightening you will not really see those problems. you can stop (or slow) the time to kill your enemies with a well plan and without wasting too much ammo. your enemies are still Necromorphs which are not a complete zombie because the story of their creation is a little different, in the second version you will find more collection of Necromorphs attacking to you, and you have to use your brain for killing them. most of the time the situation is build for you to kill your 5 or 6 enemies only with one or two bullets so you have to think if you don't want to die soon. you will be given upgradable guns which you can upgrade them in specific places using somethings called "NODS" and then you can upgrade your guns but even this upgrading need a lot of thinking too!If you have played the first version then you can probably remember its really annoying camera which was not very friendly, in this version camera position is improved and so it is not annoying any more. the music is just not as great as the first version, i think the first version had real nice music and sound but anyway musics and sounds are completely acceptable in this game too and they will complete the scariness of the game. i finished this game only in 5 hour, i was hoping for a longer version but it is just short and if you are a game worm then it will not take you a day to complete the game. this game was one of the best titles i have played in 2011 till now and i think it really worth it, so give it a try.

wow i'm surprised with this thing, so there is 77 millions dog in united states! i know many families like my neighbour having two or more dogs in their house, so maybe in near future number of dogs will be much more than number of humans on the earth. i'm not a pet owner myself but in our house we have a dog which my mom takes care of it and as i'm 5 days of week with my family in my parent house and other 2 days in mine house, so i'm seeing it most of the times, so maybe i can call myself a half pet owner or something like that, but i really hate from going a dog to monthly checkup which i have done it twice under force of my parents till now.Abut Xisto pet section, i can say if you look around you will find every one is keeping up his/her interesting section so you can do it for this section too, i think "anwii" will come around too if sees your activity in pet section, so start the good work . i done a little searching and found that united states is the country with the most dogs in it and after that is Brazil with around 30 million dogs, but i think Brazillians are keeping dogs for some different reasons than americans do. by the way it is not correct to count number of dogs because you have to consider population of that country too and if you consider that you will find Brazillians are as same crazy as Americans are about dogs.as i was interested in your topic so i searched a little and i found some amazing things, it seems Australia has the most number of cats so if you want see a real fight between u.s.a and australia just lets the pets doing it . it seems to be 413,283,800 pets in u.s.a which is greater than number of its people (the source is wiki.answer.com) and i was thinking that some day pets will rule the world again just like many years ago. it seems american peoples are tired of this mechanical world and are trying to come back to nature by getting some pets and plants in their homes. as i was searching for pets statics i found some shop selling really beautiful hamsters, i really like their faces so maybe i go and buy one and become a full pet owner not a half one, but it really is time consuming so i need to think about it first.

hello again, game of today is "Prey".again another FPS game actually in action section i like FPS more than 3rd person shooter until some nice title like resident evil and DMC comes around. This was the first time i ever hear the name of its company, the company which produces this game is named "Human Head Studio" which made me laugh a lot when i heard it. the plot is sci-fi with the main character (Domasi) which is in a bar at the first of the game and something unusual happens and some starships attack and so the story begins with him trying to find his girl friend. so the story is not a unique one but very amazing, maybe a little more funnier face for the main character were better. in the game you will face different gravities, which is a little annoying some times for me because i want a FPS to be made for killing not for focusing on how you should go from here to there but many reviewers said that this type of game satisfies all peoples so it is better, but i like those FPS which doesn't have puzzles and doesn't want you to find the way or go through hard places which needs a lot of accurate walking and jumping just like half life.The spirit of the main character is detachable and can go around to find a way or solve a puzzle which is a great feature, some times you can use its bow to even attack to enemies. soundtracks are nice and well composed and just right in their places, so you will enjoy the synchronized game scenes with sound tracks but they reduce the excitement a little. the game is based on portals, so you are always traveling between different places and exploring the Sphere. the game is violent, you can make some injuries on the face of your enemies and you can see bloods pouring everywhere but the game it self is not horror like the doom3. the guns is a big plus for this game, they are different and most of them are alive, the grenades are walking on the floor and you have to capture them (just remember some alive guns in Half Life which were moving in your hand) and even some walls in the game are alive so the graphic is really a big advantage of this game, details when you injure an enemy, the way the walls around you move and any other thing is just beautiful. So the game is not a complete FPS and you can see many other things in it like puzzles which are not few too, and many other things. the enemies have a grate AI and they will find you even if you hide but this doesn't make game hard to play. you can hear aliens speeches but you will never understand what they say so i don't know why they have putted this feature in the game because some times when you are killing some of them this will get on your nerves. the game is not so short not very long also, so you will not get bored. i suggest this game to those who are interested in a FPS game which is also included with puzzles and many other things that you usually don't see in FPS games.

First of all i should say those who are very addictive to coke can use sugar free ones, i don't know if they are available in your location or no but in our local stores there is nothing than sugar free cokes. even every drink that comes with sugar like juices are sugar free too, but there is difference between a sugar free juice and a sugar free coke , a sugar free juice is really sugar free without any sweetener it only pure juice but when it comes to sugar free coke they use artificial sweetener in them which is not very healthy too but at least doesn't make you fat or cause you to be diabetic ever, but they are dangerous too and can cause cancer, and if you are too addictive you can not use them more than specific amount daily because you will get problems, a little bad problem which makes you go to W.C. very often . i think this behavior of sugar free cokes is nice for those who want to reduce their daily usage, so you will use less otherwise you have to stay in w.c. for the night. As i said sugar free cokes are harmful too but their side effects will show themselves a lot later compared to normal cokes, so this is not a complete solution for those who want to be safe, the solution is water, using water is better than anything so just use water. coke is not so addictive i can say at least not as addictive as online games. so you can easily prevent from drinking it, you can easily replace it with water. i'm a water addict i drink more than 3 liters a day but i can feel no harmful effect from what i'm drinking so you try it too and soon you will find that you no longer think about coke. by the way these cokes with the "ZERO" brand on them seems to be completely calories free (as it has written on them) so drinking them should not be so harmful because you get zero calories. anyway water is still better so go for a combination of water and sugar free coke and you soon will find water as your main drink. actually i saw a new coke drink with a natural sweetener and near zero calories, i haven't bought it yet but i will buy one tomorrow to see if it is any good.

@ sheepdog : all mental problems doesn't mean you are crazy (neither i am ), every problem you can face in your daily life can have a mental issue related to, just like when you go out and can not find taxi easily because some peoples are shouting so loud that you think it is not a good thing to do for getting a taxi, a doc will give you a patch for forgetting that shouting loud is a bad thing and you will shout from tomorrow (actually you can make this patch for yourself too but sometimes people are so busy in their daily life that never find out these simple and easy to resolve problems). actually the thing that no doctor says is that give yourself some time to think about yourself and your problems, they do not say this because if you do that you can find a solution for all of your problems so doctors will get poor without your money . so i think those who are very busy need to go to a doc just once and you know some peoples like myself think doctors know more than myself because they have studied and saw many peoples with same problems so they will show you the solution faster (some times the worse solution ). so i think doctor is needed for those who don't know their problems, if some one is crazy this doesn't mean he knows it! so tell him and you have saved his money.@ Parubilla : i completely agree, doctors have the thing that we don't have and it is their experiences. they have saw many peoples maybe you can find your problem yourself but it may take you some years to find it and a doc can say it to you just in a minute. actually the thing that is hard to believe is that we have some problems, i mean when someone has a mental problem (i should say again he is not crazy ) he doesn't want to believe that he has a problem, so if there is no one around him to tell him his problem then the condition can get worse. but the interesting part is that when someone do not believe in his problem then he will not ever go to a doctor (my case is different i only went to a doc because i was nothing else to do in that day ) so maybe seeing some advertisements in newspaper or seeing a friend going to a doc can make him thinking about it. this is what i'm trying to do with this topic, i thought maybe someone who feels to need help with reading this topic can decide for going to a doc. i think going to a doc is so much better to believe in some superstitions and trying to find solutions in bottom of an empty cup of coffee, these things are really growing around us and some people are earning huge monies from these things.

Hello everyoneNow we can see intel atom cpu (those with a little power consumption and also not very high performance) are just coming to PCs and intel has released some motherboard based on them. so lets see what are the advantages and what are the disadvantages, so i will start with Intel Desktop Board D510MO board. this board is based on D510 intel atom , and according to this benchmark :http://www.cpubenchmark.net/midlow_range_cpus.html it is nearly same as Intel Pentium 4 3.73GHz, so the performance is not very much. The price of this board is below 80$ i found some markets are selling it even for 60$ and with this price you get a motherboard with a cpu on it so the price is not very bad. the power consumption of this board with 2.5 inch h.d.d and a module of ram will be around 25 watts in normal usage and it gets up to 60 watts in its full load, so just look at the psu of your case and see the difference , have you ever tried to see how much your pc consumes in idle mode ? i tested one of my pcs which is a core2dou and in idle mode it uses around 150watts, so here we have a 125 watts gap, ans this is the biggest advantage of using these boards. this board comes only with one pciexpress 16x slot which you can use it for extra graphic power if you don't like the onboard intel one. so there is no pci and you should only buy external usb devices, it comes with 8 usb support so there is no problem in that. So i was thinking that this board is not very fast in daily works but it has the advantage of low power consumption, and as i was searching for seeing its performance in playing hd files i found the below youtube link, it shows the board playing a 1080p movie trailer and the cpu usage is not very high as he shows it using task manager. our home theater is broken and we were deciding to buy a new one but i saw this and i thought getting one with a sata dvd-rom or an external one will do a huge job, we can use the load speakers and the amplifire of our current home theater (because only disc playback is broken) and connecting one of these boards in their little cases (which are much smaller than our current DVD player) and buying the full case (motherboard + 2GB ram + psu + mini itx case + dvd-rw) costs around 200$ which is a nice price too because a new home theater will cost us at least 350$, i thought about getting one of these for using it as a media center, so we can play dvd as well as connecting to internet and many other things because it is a PC. what do you think ? will it work ?here is the link to the mentioned video : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ should another version of these boards with nvidia ion is available which is around 150$ but it is much powerful than this board in graphic things and you can even play games with it too, so maybe it can be a worthy upgrade even for a PC.

i'm not a very old member here but i'm so glad to hear such a news, as i don't have an account on face book it is good to hear the news going on in Opaques's facebook. so we can expect new changes soon ? this is very great because in pas days they were a lot of topics trying to give some advices for better and more active forum, but none of them are actually working without Opaque being here.Can't you tell some more of these leaking news ? some new features ?

The previous post was not the game of today, it was just a reply so game of today is "Battle Field" have you heard of it ? the first version seems to be released under the name "Codename Eagle" which i never played it because i only heard of it when the main (which i say the first) released. it was named "Battlefield 1942".The game is about world war II but not like those bloody games, they have done it in a better and funnier way so you will never get bored of playing it with your friends. in the game you have to do two things in the same time, first killing enemies and second keeping some specific areas under your control, by capturing more spaces you will decrease your enemies rate, i mean if you kill an enemy he will be created again in the place where he has came from so if you capture that place, then you have decreased number of enemies that came to live after killing. so playing it with bots is really annoying because they do not think like a human and can not listen to your words so if you want to feel the real team work you have to play it with your friends and keep contacting with them during the game because it is very important to keep some good defenders at the captured place and get some good attackers for capturing another point. So in this game you will loose when you loose all of your points so you can not respawn again and exactly this is what you have to do with other team, but for winning a round there is a ticket system in the game which you will loose the round if you do loose some tickets and will win if you gain some tickets and tickets depends on how much your team mates die or how much points you have captured. it seems the game is capable of handling 64 players in multiplayer mode but i haven't seen any 64 player server, most of them are 32 players server and you can even create one with your not very powerful PC and have a dedicated server for playing this with your friends, i should say again this game is only for multiplayer mode so do not even think about playing it in single player mode or you will hate it. i can't remember name of the maps but there is one which is a town and you will walk on the streets, this is my favorite one as you can fight with your enemies face to face and from near distance. there are many maps for this game which even are increasing these days but only few of them are really enjoyable (just like counter strike and its familiar De_Dust2).

yes unreal tournament 2003 was a great game, capture the flag is really fun but we were playing that Last Man Standing mode more than other modes with my friends and i always was the winner (i'm not ling ), actually as i remember musics were very nice too which were increasing the excitement so much that you couldn't leave the game. Cliff Bleszinski is designer of this one and he has many other great games in his career like gear of wars. i really suggest you to play the 2007 version named "Unreal Tournament 3" i was waiting for its linux version for two years until they said they will not release a linux port which was a really bad news.Unreal Tournament 3 is having mostly same playing modes like the 2003 version but some added like the vehicle capture flag mode which the name says how is it working. in this version you can play the single player mode which even has a story and describes every character personality and other things which is very great in the times you can not play it online, i mean playing it online is so much better than single player even with its story based single player mode. the graphic is so much improved and you can feel it in the game, the characters now have a identity so this is a big different with precious versions. again music is great and it really makes game more amazing.the multiplayer in 2007 even with its huge graphic improvement doesn't need a very high speed connection, but it needs your ping to be under 100ms other wise you will be killed by others instantly, by the way the experience of playing it online is more fun than the 2003 version which i think you have played it using lan. there is some freezes during the online play but not happening regularly so it is not very important. i don't know why it is not so addictive, i played it for a year but not everyday so i think this is a great type of game for me. i found that i should be on the mood for online playing so sometimes when i go online i loose all the rounds some other time i win them all so its very strange behavior and i think it should be played on the right time other wise you will not enjoy it too much .I never played the 2004 version, i have planned to buy it in summer. i want to play it under linux to to see how it works. they are working from 2003 on UT4 which is a little weird and i don't know when they will release it.

Hello everyonei just saw this phone yesterday in hands of my friend and i tested it a bit. the first thing you will see is the home screen of Microsoft Windows Phone 7 and with its green color (from the default theme) and black body looks so beautiful. at the first see i found that the thing that rounds the camera lens is movable and you can use it as a stand for watching movies or doing video calls using your phone but the camera lens itself is not protected, i think a lens protector is needed in new phones but we can't see those nice old protectors with this new slim deign. the camera is just like other 5MP from other phones without xenon flash. when you open the stand thing behind the phone the color of behind it really annoyed me i don't know why they have chosen that color. the LCD is big and with many natural colors you can enjoy every image you have taken in it, it is really strange that this phone doesn't have a memory card slot which seems related to its operating system.the camera quality is average as many phones today are equipped with a 5MP camera but when it comes to video recording then it has something to say, video quality is better but again it doesn't seem to be a real 720p and much like an upscaled version of lower resolution but it is enough for a phone. the wifi seems to be a little low range , i mean i was able to connect to wifi hotspot with my htc desire but my friend didn't even succeed to locate that hotspot and so when we went indoor then it located the connection and connected to it. now about the operating system, actually it is a beautiful operating system, many menus are beautiful but scrolling is a little slow. the first thing that was interesting for me is the cloud service which will synchronize your phone with live.com mobile service and so you can share your photos and many other things. when you browse their website using your pc you will be able to locate your phone if it is stolen and you can manage your data remotely. the default gps map is bing map which is not very detailed and user friendly but you can use some unofficial release of google map which was completely functional and enjoy finding your way easily. but what are disadvantages ? actually there is nothing available in WP7, for every simple thing to do you need another software, it is more like a beta release. for example yo can not do a simple copy/paste ! or seeing flash files in browser, you can not send your favorite picture to your friend using bluetooth because file transfer using bluetooth is not available and we didn't find any alternative software for doing that and it seems to need a firmware update to be released for doing such a thing.these problems made this phone a little uneasy to use and you even can not do many regular things with it, this is why in xda-developers there are many peoples wanting android to be ported for WP7. so here we can see another mistake from microsoft just many worse than their previous mistake (win vista). again android is rucking the world of smart phones and maemo is still available for professional ones.

game of today is "Crysis"this game was a nice title for testing graphic cards power for many days, it is still a heavy game and will not give you high FPS until you have a modern graphic card, so we were able to see its name in many benchmarks in recent years. because game is so heavy, i even upgraded my pc in 2007 for playing it, even with upgrading my pc i wasn't able to play it with above 30 frame per seconds in 1440*900 pixels. maybe now with newer PC it is more fun to play and enjoy the nice graphic of this game so i'm currently installing it again to see if i can play it in high details with my ati 5870, i found the disc is a little crashed so i hope it completely install.The game story is available everywhere so i won't talk about it, like far cry you can do your objectives in many ways, if you want to do it fast and with so much noise and killing then just use every vehicle that you see in the game which get damage by hitting but never stop , or do it silent and kill enemies from far distances, so you can do it in your style. graphic is just impressive, days nights and everything is so detailed and so accurate that i think no one expected this game to be released in 2007. in some scenes you really have to take a screen shot because they are just so beautiful but if your hardware is a little slow then just forget it because it may take you a minute for taking a screen shot. The main character is named "Nomad" and you are member of a team with some other characters fighting with your enemies. there was an annoying thing in the game and it was the mini map, it would better to provide some more information with this mini map but anyway i didn't looked at it more than a minute in every hour. just like far cry or project IGI if any member of squad of your enemies sees you then he will rang the alarm or do something to call the other members, so in most parts you may suggest to do your works silently and with killing single enemies from far distances. this is sometimes a little boring so you can make the second choice if your aiming is good, just kill'em all. guns are just many and you even can use a sniper shotgun ! but only some of them are really handy, again i suggest that old style reloading just like counter strike, i know crysis reloading is more real but game should not be like real life because it is a game.You can use 4 modes in the game (i think it is a little inspired from that four modes of dante in devil may cry 3 but with different look) they are "Armour", "Speed", "Cloak", "Strange" so form their names you can find out what feature they will give you. now i should talk about multiplayer, in the time i was playing this game it was only playable online using game spy network so i don't know if any extension or patched came later for playing it using your dedicated server or no, this game needs high bandwidth for online playing and really low ping , i had enough bandwidth but the delay time was so high that i never enjoyed playing it online. game is really well made and really heavy so play it !

Hello everyoneSome friend has bought a mazda 6 2010 just a week ago and after being in it for 6 hour i felt this car is so great and i came to write a review about. the first generation was introduced in 2002 which was a lot popular in that time, second generation has been born in 2008 with nice collection of engines starting from 1.8 liters straight four up to 3.7 liters V6. the one my friend bought has a 3.7L V6 and with two persons in it, it was capable of doing 0-100kmph just in 6.5 seconds which is nice, with one person it will do faster. the cabin is well built and you can not hear noise of the engine but i should say the noise is nice to hear also. you will get some default options like CD-player and ,in brochure they say you will get leather steering wheel but we didn't see such thing maybe it depends on your location and also on who you buy from because he didn't buy it from representation so i suggest you to buy from representations of company, trip computer and some other things. steering is so much better in this gen because of their independent rear and front suspension. the fuel consumption is not very nice but good enough we used 40 liters for about 420 km so it slightly lower than 10 liters per 100km (i should say this is completely acceptable from a 3.7 liters engine). the safety rating is 5 star so it is a safe car too and you can be sure you will not die easily in it. Cornering is better and so much flat compared to first gen and car really is controllable in hard situations. when the car is new after the first start of engine when it gets hot for the first time you may smell like a burning plastic but it is not annoying and soon will be disappear for ever. it was nice to see after 6 hours no button came out or anything fall or burn and everything was fine and no problem at all , however we can not connect our phones to it using bluetooth maybe we need more instruction using users manual or maybe it only works with iphone, my friend hasn't got time for reading the manual for finding any instruction. satellite navigation is great too and really functional so you will not lost too easily. on that they it was a heavy snow out and so it was a great day for testing how weight distribution has worked in the new generation and i should say it is far better than the first gen and in steep places you will not face any dangerous reaction from car and it most of the times goes straight but you have to remember it is not an offroad car and you have to behave with it like a normal car. some plastic things in the cabin are annoying but for the price they are completely acceptable. this car is really a japanese practical car and you can rely on it as your daily car, many cars these days are coming out with problems even at the first start so finding a good car like this is a miracle .

First thing you can do is to see if you sound card audio in is working or not, because i think you have to connect audio out of your tv tuner to audio in of your sound card. for doing this test get a dual 3.5mm audio jack and put one end in a player like mp3 player or mobile phone or any other player and put the other end in audio in of your sound card, now open a sound recorder software like the one comes default in win7 and choose audio in (not the mic) as input device and then play a song in the player and start recoding so you should be able to hear recorded song if nothing is recorded then there is a problem either with your driver or sound card settings.if the audio in is working then you should check settings of your player, i suggest you to use win PVR , try it and see if you can hear the audio, if the software doesn't recognized you card then probably your driver is not installed correctly because this software nearly recognizes all of TV Tuner card which are based on popular tuner chips. if it played audio then i suggest you to forget the default program which you have received on your card because this one is far better than others (only for watching not for recording). for recording i suggest you to go for Ulead with many special features and very better performance and quality.if none of above worked then try to reinstall your driver and use the original ones from their official website : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and if you can do a fresh install of your windows. these problems never have a specific solution and you have to check many things to find the solution, in the end you can test your card on another system to see if there is not any hardware problem, if hardware is working in another system then you can change the PCI slot you have planted card in. it seems to be a software problem because you have mentioned it was working in win xp so you can call their support to see if their driver is compatible with windows 7.

game of today is "S.T.A.L.K.E.R" which stands for "Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber" and is the first game i have seen that has a weird title .The game series starts with Shadow of Chernobyl that you can guess what the plot is about from its name. its about what happened in nuclear plant of Chernobyl. the game starts completely mysterious with unknown identity of the main character (the main character has a stalker tattoo on his arm), the story goes on and the main character enters to a weird village with some supernatural things going on in it. he will fight his way to find out what happened to him and who is he and in the game you have a choice to make which affects then ending of game. so this game has a nice story for following and its story is really amazing as sometimes you really don't know what will happen next or what you hear is a lie or no. so you can play a FPS which is great on story side and even great in many other thing which i will say.The area you can explore is relatively big and you may do not see some of them or even do not interact with some characters during your game play. so we could name it FPS+RPG too and many reviewers has said that too. there is a down side and it is that you can not explore all of the places because you will get bored, i mean you have to go everywhere on foot so it takes so much time for exploring all the map and even you can not sprint all the way because when you carry weapons the time you can sprint decreases. i found another annoying thing in this game and it is the radiation, sometimes you have to go to a place which has radiation then your health will start to decrease and you have to use specific items for stopping this procedure. other things are great, graphic is very nice and very detailed, many places are designed very nice and accurate but as sometimes you have to kill many peoples from out of the house so do not think of very intelligent enemies but they are intelligent enough for such a game.enemies consist of humans and monsters and anything is completely random meaning that maybe you go to a specific place for 1000 times and you may face different or no enemies in there each time, this is a real great feature. so because everything is random and the area is really big, the game is really scary in its style. there are many guns in this game like pistols, shotguns, rifles, snipers, machine guns and many other things, so you can enjoy action style really nice in your style (silent or kill'em all). if you haven't played it yet go and give it a try.

The car you have saw is Honda FCX Clarity which i mentioned a little about i my previous post but i will say more about it. this is not a new car and if i'm true i think i have seen in first 2008 in Top Gear reviewed by James May. they said this car will be the next generation of electric cars.This car hydrogen fuel cell based so it is an electric car but it doesn't use electrical power which is saved in batteries, it itself generates electrical power which is needed for powering its electrical motor. this car is currently in production and some has been sold in Europe , Japan and U.S.A but the cost is just high right now and they even do not produce enough so they only sell them to specific peoples. i read somewhere they have planned to release 200 more within 3 years which means two things , one there is no one interested (i will say later why) and second even at this cost there is a little or no profit for Honda. there is no one interested because there is not enough hydrogen filling stations around the world. in Germany there is only one hydrogen filling station and it is in Berlin so the car still is not practical because when you buy it you can not use it. The process of getting electrical power from that built in hydrogen power plant is completely green and environment friendly and the only thing comes out of the exhaust is H2O which is water, so every thing is perfect and you don't need to wait 16 hours for charging it. refilling it is just like petrol as the hydrogen in stations is in liquid form so the process is completely same as filling your car with petrol, the only difference is some safety features because hydrogen is under pressure so it doesn't act completely like petrol. this car produces 134 bhp which is enough for a car that can carry 4 people and other things like accelerating and top speed are completely acceptable too so we have a green car which for the first time can be used for your daily works like going to your work and do not worry about running out of power because you can refill it only in 10 minutes. As the car moving parts has been reduced while they replaced the mechanical motor with an electrical one so it will not brake down regularly, transmission is single speed so it will brake down less too. many things in this car are only luxuries and isn't too necessary like the string wheel which can change its position or those cameras all over the car and many other things so they can easily reduce the cost but when there is no filling station available so why they should do it ? this car is introduced in 2008 and in this 2 - 3 years we can't see any government concerning about building hydrogen filling stations fast. i think this is because of those factories which are currently producing battery based useless electrical cars and because there are currently many factories doing this so maybe policies aren't allowing Honda to shows its technology. anyway i think it is waste of time to try produce better batteries or light weighted bodies for getting battery based electrical cars to real world just go for hydrogen based one and this is the future.

no i don't want to know it, many of us are living for doing some things and we hope we have the chance to complete those jobs before the time for saying goodbye comes. so maybe knowing that time will kill all those hopes and people will stop doing things they have in their minds and they will become depressed. there are many people trying to find out what gonna happen in future or how much they will live but no one has answered this question yet and i think these type questions will be unanswerable forever. i think if people know when they will die they will not try to reach their goals any more because they will think their time is not enough.also some peoples are thinking knowing the goodbye time (i really hate the word "Death" so i usually say goodbye time instead) is nice because they can plan their works according to that timing and they can do all necessary things in the time. they think knowing when they will go is better than not knowing because if they know they only have 3 days left they will do many things like seeing some persons who hate them and seeking forgiveness from those who hurt. but i think we can do these things all the time by thinking of that maybe my time ends just tomorrow, so if we work in our daily life just based on thinking about no tomorrow then knowing the goodbye time is not very important because we have done all the things we want in end of every day and we will not regret for things that we have or haven't done when we had enough time.by the way i think may things we do in our daily life will increase or decrease our life time, so i don't think anyone will be able to say when you will go at all because no one can say what you will do tomorrow. maybe knowing the future will stop some crimes to happen like when a person knows if he kill somebody he will be arrested in specific date and time and he will be in jail or be killed (depending on country) then he will not do that so knowing future is not bad always but i think if we all know what happens in future then life will loose it fun. i mean if you know what happens if you do something then it is not fun to do that thing anymore, we are enjoying surprises in our life so knowing future will kill all of those surprises. i prefer to not know what happens in future and just do my best to live my life (remember the song ).you can know if you gonna die soon or not very easily too just go to a doctor and if your physical health is in a very bad mood he can tell you but anyway time to go depends on what GOD wants.
