  1. I have been using FL Studio for many years now and haven't had any problems with it. However, recently, I started having the problem of my music having a lot of buffer underruns on FL Studio when i play it. I don't understand why it all of a sudden has started happening bc it had never happened before. I am guessing that obviously something on my computer is robbing my cpu ram but I have no idea what. I checked my antivirus and antispyware programs and they seem to be doing the same as they have always done. I have avg free 2011 and spybot search and destroy and malwarebytes. I also have no messed with my sound drivers so I am baffled at why my FL Studio is all of a sudden having these buffer underruns. If anyone has any idea as to why this may be happening please let me know!
  2. I used to play tetris a lot. The first thing I played tetris on was an old gameboy that didnt have color and took four batteries to run. It's hard to believe how much technology has changed since the 90s. Anyway that is the only thing I've ever played tetris on besides facebook of course. I prefer the gameboy just because of how the buttons are placed to play the game. I dont like having to use the arrow keys on a computer.
  3. So I am turning my old desktop computer into a server. I am reinstalling an operating system on it and I read that fedora or ubuntu would probably be the best operating systems to use to run a server. Is this true or should I be trying to use something else? Also if it is true, which one is better fedora or ubuntu? Any advice would be great!
  4. I have made a website and it has a simple comments feature on it so viewers can comment on my page. I have added a filter to filter out swear words but what is a way to stop people from spamming and ban them from the site for a period of time if they do spam my site. I do not require a login to view my site and was hoping to do this without forcing people to login. This may be more of a php question than mysql but I will have to use both to solve my problem i'm sure. Anyway, any advice would be much appreciated!
  5. I have made some simple games in java but I have not tried to delve into really hard to make 3d games. I know a lot of my friends have used C++ to make games but I have never used C++ so I dont know whether it is the best language to use or not. I know C so I imagine C++ can't be too much different but like I said I just haven't tried it. Anyway, I hope this input helps some.
  6. I still remember when I got need for speed 2. I loved that game in the late 90s. I fell in love with the McLaren F1 and that is still my dream car today. Anyway, afterwards I got need for speed 3 high stakes and this was also a good game when it came out. It beat the graphics of need for speed 2 by a long shot and added the hot pursuit cop part. After that I got need for speed high stakes which was an awesome game. Not only were the graphics better at the time but also there were many more features available. Next I got need for speed underground. This game also improved. The last game I got was need for speed underground 2 so I can't talk about any games after that. But back during the times I got the games when they first came out their graphics were always amazing at the time. I assume NFS games are still keeping up with the graphics of modern times as graphics have became insanely good now and keep improving. Hopefully when I graduate and get this degree I can get a high paying job and get back into buying expensive NFS games as soon as they come out!
  7. I still remember when I got my first gaming system. It was a super nintendo that had donkey kong country on it. Later my neighbor got a computer and it had snake on it and we thought that was the coolest game ever. He also had a regular nintendo, a sega genesis, and of course finally eventually a playstation. It's hard to believe you can play snake on your cell phone now where as back then it was cool to have it on your computer. I am only 21 and I can't believe how much technology has changed since the late 90s and I can only imagine how much it will change in the future. Anyway I loved the game Gradius 3 on super nintendo. I wish they would remake some old like playstation games and give them better graphics because some of the old playstation and other games were awesome. I feel like a lot of games nowadays are fairly easy to beat and the game makers only focus on having amazing graphics.
  8. I first played super mario kart on super nintendo. I used to love that game. I would love to play it right now if I could. I can hear the game music in my head haha. Anyway I can't afford to spend money on a new game console like a wi at the moment because i'm saving money in college and I wouldn't have time to play anyway. Did they make a mario kart for ps2? If they did then I would love to have that.
  9. I am assuming you're playing this game on a PC and not a gaming system like a playstation or an xbox. Have you tried playing the cd on another PC besides your own PC? Maybe your disc drive on your PC is having a problem. Have you tried playing another CD on your PC? Just throwing some obvious basic troubleshooting steps out there. I have Fifa 2007 for my ps2. Unfortunately I have not played it much so I don't know much about it. I got it as a christmas present. Anyway hope I helped in some way and good luck beating your teacher
  10. Does the logic plan include being able to use curl? I see under the logic pro plan that the logic pro plan includes many programs like php, perl, Curl etc... All I want to do is get information off of a website using the curl function in php for my website. Can I do this with the just basic logic plan? I was going to ask so I would know to save and buy the 6.66 plan instead of the 1.75 plan that may not do what I need it to do.
  11. I just use youtube to post my instrumentals I make. I would be mad if somebody stole my instrumental without me knowing and unfortunately they can do that on youtube I understand the whole copyright issue and everything but as we all know there are two sides to the story. If I was a huge artist I wouldn't care as much about the money as knowing my music was getting out to peopl and people liked it. However, I just make music as a hobby and not as a career. If music was my career then I would be very mad if I was not making any money off of my songs.
  12. These are some programs I know about with their prices beside them.Sony Acid Pro 7 = 246.98 on softwaremedia.comAdobe Audition 3 = 339.99 on newegg.comCakewalk Sonar producer edition = 359Protools 9 = 249 on amazonAnyway I am familiar with Sony acid pro and adobe audition the most. I record my songs via a usb mic with sony acid pro. I then edit these files (do noise reduction etc) with adobe audition. I use FL Studio to put all my track pieces together. Anyway audacity is a good free program you can use just to edit your music and do simple things. I dont know how serious you are about what you're trying to do with your music. If you have any questions for me just let me know. I have been recording music for a long time so I can be of help i'm sure. Good luck!
  13. I didn't see anything on your post about where you were buying your parts from. I was going to ask where can you normally find the best deals on new computer parts. I know newegg.com has some good sales usually. I dont think it would make sense to buy off of ebay as the parts may be used and of worse quality but maybe ebay is a good idea? Anyway where would you suggest buying all of the parts? I have an old gateway from around the year 2000 and I am going to re-do the whole thing. I have never built a computer so hoping to learn a lot from this experience. I am also a computer science major so I need this experience more than others probably. Anyway post something about where to find good deals on parts if you can
  14. Minus the physical part of cleaning a laptop and making sure it doesn't have dust, another thing that will improve speed is to make sure your laptop doesn't have spyware on it. Maybe you're laptop has been having problems because it needs spyware removed from it. I use avg free with malwarebytes with spybot search and destroy and spyware doesn't stand a chance on my laptop. Also if you're using firefox and are having internet loading problems check your addons. I had to disable the newest java on my addons and my internet loading problems have been fine since. I hope this helps you with your problems in some way!
  15. I am a college student who is always on the go so I definitly prefer using a laptop. I can use it anywhere on campus because wifi picks up basically everywhere now. The only reason I would prefer to have a desktop is because I could build it myself a lot cheaper than buying a whole new laptop. So if you can use a desktop then I would choose it just because you could save a lot of money with a desktop. However, if you think you're going to be on the go a lot and have a lot of work to do then I would buy a laptop. Hope this helps with your choosing!
  16. I noticed Xisto was slow also. I'm glad it seems to be back up to speed now. Does Xisto give warnings when there will be site maintenance going on. Maybe they were working on the site or something and that's why it was down?
  17. Every question I have had so far about Xisto has been answered within 4 hours or so on the forums. I have never used bytehost so I dont know anything about it. I used xtreemhost first and it was a good free webhost with the cpanel control however I could not use some php functions that I needed to on it
  18. I have not bought any plans yet with my myearnings. I was going to ask what is the best plan to start with. All I am going to be using my website for is to show music charts. I will also need to use php and mysql on my site. I saw that there is a 1.95 plan is that the cheapest. I also saw there is a 10$ 10 year plan. Should I save up and just buy that plan one time? I was thinking it would be best to just get the cheapest one month plan for now and get used to everything. Also if I buy a one month plan and run out of mycents to keep it running after a month will my site information be lost? Thanks for all the help!
  19. I dont know what to consider as oldschool now. I was born in 1990 so my first system was a super nintendo with donkey kong country on it. My neighbor had a regular nintendo and a sega genesis. Anyway then I moved up to a psx. My psx came with test drive 4 and intelligen cube. One of my favorite games on super nintendo was gradius 3. Anyway my favorite playstation games were need for speed high stakes and Tony hawk's pro skater 2 to name a few. I also loved computer games. I got my first computer a gateway in 1998. It came with battlezone, dark reign and many other computer games. I fell in love with battlezone and bought battlezone 2 when it came out later. This is still one of my favorite online multiplayer games. Anyway I also played gameboy color games like pokemon red, blue, gold, silver and crystal but haven't played any since crystal. I haven't been keeping up with today's newest games so I am definately behind because I've been saving money and trying to survive the college life. Anyway hope I gave you some suggestions of some good oldschool games!
  20. I first bought need for speed 2 in the late 90s when I had my first psx. I loved that game so I also bought nfs3 hot pursuit. It was also good. The last nfs I bought was nfs high stakes. I loved nfs high stakes and still play it to this day. It was an awesome game and I wish nfs could go back and remake it with better graphics.
  21. I got need for speed 2 a long time ago when I got my first psx and I loved it. I ended up also getting hot pursuit and high stakes. I still have them all and I love need for speed high stakes even though its graphics are sub-par now. I wish nfs would go back and remake some of their old games and make them have better graphics. Anyway I loved putting in the cheat codes in nfs 2 and driving like an outhouse and a schoolbus to name a few.
  22. That is awesome I had no idea about this. They're many old playstation games that I would love to see on the ps3 in an upgraded graphics format. I still play my old psx games even though the graphics are crappy. Do you know where you can find like a list of the games that have been reformatted?
  23. I first started using the host xtreemhost.com. I loved their hosting until I tried to use php and curl and they had curl disabled. So I needed to get information off of a site to put into my sql database and couldnt because not only did curl not work but also could not use fopen or file_get_contents or exec and many other functions. So I am hoping with Xisto to be able to make my website be able to use these things. Anyway xtreemhost wasn't bad other than the curl and other functions problem. I am a computer science major and taking database for the first time this semester. For my semester project I am making a website so I am hoping to get my mycents up so I can make my website. If I can't get them in time then I will have to use my school's server but I am using that for a last resort. Anyway hope I helped somebody in some way with this information.
  24. I used to play battlezone 2 a lot. It was popular and came out back during the same time as counter strike. I would love to make a server sometime for battlezone 2 did you buy your stuff online or how did you find good deals for it? I know newegg.com is pretty good but is ebay or something like that probably better to find cheap computer parts?
