Norton Antivirus Vs Nod 32 Software
PhoenixGFX replied to dino-m's topic in Security issues & Exploits
I would definitely recommend NOD. Have been using it for years and never had a problem. As one user said before, it's superfast and detects all of the infiltrations.On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 9.5... -
What are your opinions of Joomla and Wordpress.I'm currently developing a site that Joomla Based and so far have found it easy.I did have a wordpress blog, but from some of my collegues they coaxed me into going Joomla.Is it worth the time, or do you prefer Wordpress.The great thing about my experience is that there are so many extensions available for free and easily customizable.

Actually, You should do some research on it. This is the best alternative there is. It's better than doing the whole Multi OS thing at startup.

I always like NVidia cards... they are solid in my opinion.I'm considering getting the GTX570. Looks like a good card for graphic design and gaming. But the price is a bit too heavy now. Will have to wait until it drops to something affordable.

Space Trip Space tourism is getting nearby
PhoenixGFX replied to zenia's topic in Science and Technology
That's pretty expensive... well not for those who can afford it. I would rather spend the money on taking a trip around the world.Thanks for the info though... I actually printed this to show to someone.Give me a buzz when they're planning on going to Mars... that will be a trip of a lifetime... or several. -
I believe that the Free Version of AVG is good. I install it on all of my clients computers who doesn't want to pay for an Antivirus Software. But it's better to actually spend on a good Decent one. You'll be better off in the long run. I personally use Eset Smart Security and haven't had a problem since the initial install.My choice and advice... go with AVG!

I think the easiest way to get your files safely and quick is to log in using Safe Mode. This can be accessible through an option when you hold/press F8 while your system starts.It makes not much sense to use a pirated copy of windows because you'll eventually be harming yourself because you won't have legitimate access to the Updates/patches, etc.

Windows Vista... that's an Operating System that I haven't seen in a while now. There's too much problems with it. Almost everyone I know is running Windows 7 and/or Windows XP. I had Vista installed on my computer when it was first released and after a few days uninstalled it and did a clean install of Windows XP.I'm sure that most people agree that Vista is probably the most crappy operating system ever released... well that and Windows ME...Windows 7 is the way to go, almost everything runs on it and if there is a problem with Hardware Compatibility you can just install and use Windows Xp through Windows XP mode which is free from Microsoft.Just my opinion!

I think the myCents idea is good. And also think that the capability of purchasing other items other than domain and webhosting should be added.It's a good way for someone who doesn't have the ability of actually getting their hands on a credit card or wire transferring funds to a host.I'm glad I found this forum. Hope to get my site up and running soon.

I stumbled upon this youtube video of a guy reenacting one of my favourite games:http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is indeed a funny video, especially when he waves the finger at the cops.Just thought I'd share to make you smile!

Is Atheism Classed As A Religion? What are your views?
PhoenixGFX replied to Alex Cicala's topic in General Discussion
Quick and Simple, Religion is the belief in a God.I think Atheism is just a way of life, not a religion. -
I won't suggest the iPhone to anyone. Maybe I'm a bit biased. But I'm a lover of Android Phones!Android Phones has a better User Interface to me. Android is Open Source so this means instead of just 1 company working on the code, an unlimited number of people are able to do so. This has many advantages because open sourced software tends to be more secure than proprietary software because thousands of eyeballs are pouring over the code every day. Holes in the software are quickly found and patched.

First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens neat stuff

That looks cool... Would like to go there and have a nice dinner with my fiance. She'll love that.I bet the prices for a meal are justified because the atmosphere there looks pretty awesome! -
Which Is The Best Company Of Pen Drive?..
PhoenixGFX replied to tinoymalayil's topic in Hardware Workshop
If you're looking for a solid drive I suggest the Patriot Xporter XT. There is a 8GB version that gives you speed up to 200x read and works with every single OS because it's driver less. It also has a water and shock resistant RUBBERIZED housing so you'll be safe if you someone like me who occasionally drops stuff. And it's selling at a good price... you can get if for about $15 to $20 at most stores. The bad thing about it is that it has a cover, these things get lost very easily... most of my drives are without them... I'm such a goof! -
I really hate locked phones, especially the smart phones. It's better to get an unlocked one and pay the extra.The Android Phones are far better, way more customizable in my opinion. The only downside is the battery life on the Android phones.The Good thing about the Android Platform is that it's open source, Open Source has an unlimited number of people are able to share their knowledge. Open sourced software tends to be more secure than proprietary software because thousands of people are pouring over the code every day. Holes in the software are quickly found and patched.

What Is You Favorite Mobile Phone Platform?
PhoenixGFX replied to livepcportal's topic in Mobile Phones
Seems to be a war between Apple's Iphone OS and Android.For the Battery Life the iPhone beats the Android devices. Don't get me wrong, Android devices comes packed with great feature, but by doing this it looses out on battery Life.Both are great when it comes to multi-tasking. The android is better when it comes to Speech to text but the iPhone has a better release and update consistency. Android devices are more customization and has great integration with Google Apps.When you look at your personal choices, I believe that the Android devices are better suited for everyone. But that's my opinion. Don't want to get on anyone's bad side, especially the iPhone lovers. -
What Is The Weirdest Thing You Eat? regularly or occasionally.
PhoenixGFX replied to arnz's topic in General Discussion
The weirdest thing I eat has to be Ice cream topped with ketchup. Taste remarkably well. You guys gotta try it.Other than that, I've eaten the chicken liver before. Goes down well when you're have it as finger snacks when you're drinking. -
Seems that alot of us won't get rid of our cameras for a camera phone. Almost all phones has the feature but it's just a waste of time. Only useful when you're gonna use a Facebook app or similar.You can't sacrifice quality when it's a hobby taking photos. Hey, a friend of mine has a camera phone and the camera specs are great. But he had to shell out alot of money just to get it. There are some pretty awesome ones on the market now. But I'll wait until the prices drops!

What's The Best Wireless Router? For u, whats the best?
PhoenixGFX replied to jlrr94's topic in Computer Networks
I use Linksys E-series nowadays. It's great for connecting your Gaming Consoles and Computer. The E-1000 is a good 2.4ghz at 300mbps speeds. It's worth the money.Someone once recommended that I get the 4200 series but that's too much for my needs. -
Wow, a love triangle. LOL.You just just muster up the guts and tell her how you feel about her.Trust me, I've been in a situation like this before and regretted it.Two thing can happen, she'll probably say she has the same feelings for you can dump the other guy.or she'll think it's awkward and tell you it's better to be friends and she prefers it that way.There's only one way to know... you gotta tell her what's on your mind.You can even give her a letter explaining your feelings if you feel shy... it's a great time too.. Valentine day!

I believe it's a natural habit.Dogs normally lick to show that they trust you and have affection towards the owners and even other dogs. Sometimes dogs overdo it though... this just shows that they need some extra attention and a sign of bad training.It can be seen as soon as a pup is born, mother dogs usually lick to clean their puppies and by doing this create a bond between the pup and it's mother!

So, What Is The Best Free Domain?
PhoenixGFX replied to ivantoar's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I was using dot.tk for one of my sites and came across this forum.I'm hoping to eventually get hosting from Xisto soon and hopefully it's be worth the time. Most of us know that frames are bad for a site. I learnt that too late. It's better to have a top level domain for any website including a Forum as you mentioned. Xisto seems like the real deal and I suggest that you give it a try. -
'smokeless' E-cigarettes - Are they really safe?
PhoenixGFX replied to filmdesire's topic in General Discussion
I just saw 'The Tourist" with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. he was using one of the E-cigarettes. It looked cool, even blowing out "Artificial Smoke". It looks that Hollywood is now promoting non-smoking and not glorifying smoking in movies as it did before. Thumbs up for the writers and directors who think this way!
