  1. Thats been a common problem with the current version of live messenger as I have been booted quite a few times, but this was on XP thus the reason its the client and not your computer. Just a matter of waiting for them to update messenger and dealing with the problem.
  2. That is a bummer man, heck my yahoo is going on 13 I believe and had change my very weak password not even two years ago. Well we both know this wasn't a typical hacker he was there to do damage and from the looks of some serious damage at that. Odd are got a hold of your email from some website you visit and began their quest to destroy it, well hopefully the password is a lot stronger and he won't come after you again.
  3. One that I enjoy because of its simplicity and how easily it can be redesign to fit your site, I would check this website out: https://www.hscripts.com/scripts/php/usersOnline.php. You can see it in action on my site on the left http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and what I did was add all the various counter and user scripts together to develop a nice state sheet.
  4. The book I am going to review is based off the flex gallery I did and the title of the book is Foundation: Flex for Designers which was written by Greg Goralski and LordAlex Leon. I actually enjoyed this book or rather the Friends of Ed company that produces these books as they provide good information in a step-by-step process, they gives you files that are based on those examples and in short makes it easy to work with. On top of that the book is design to provide several Flex applications and so by the time you finish the book and going through all the examples you would have learn to develop full working applications. Though it is a simple step-by-step process, they take the time and break it down to you what all the code snippets mean and how they work and with the help of the pictures they use in this book it helps you find out where you have to go to make sure you do it properly. Of course, one of the best things about Flex is that you can run the program in real time to debug it and see how it will look thus savings lots of time to build the package and then uploading all the files to your server or hosting account to see it in action. The reason for that is Flex is an offshoot of Flash or rather it uses flash technology in order to run, thus the reason ActionScript and XML are used exclusively to get the various applications running. Although, Flex does have its own language to set things up and put everything together, you can however use HTML, CSS and even work in PHP and JAVA as well. So there is a big use for this program especially if you connect it to databases with lots of data in it. Of course, the big thing is that you develop a full website out of Flex and again it falls back on using Flash technology in order to make that happen. Like I mention earlier, Friends of ED have produce some great books for Flex such as Flex Application Development, Flex Solutions: Essential Techniques For Flex 2 And 3 Developers, and The Essential Guide to Flex 3 to name a few. In a way, if plan on learning a new programming language either Flex or Flash or even HTML, then you have to check their books out.
  5. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ April Fool's. meh it seems that they are not trying anymore with these gags, wonder if China has gotten the joke yet.
  6. Ok I see were your coming from now, but you have to remember though Xisto would still need access to the members accounts or rather to their kontera id numbers and somehow set it up for bulk use. Odds are though Kontera wouldn't allow it and all acounts part of it would get terminated because it would be considered a scam or something like that.I would most definately agree Xisto would make that $100 in no time but since everyone is allowed one account per person it wouldn't have been possible. Granted we have a lot of forums to put an ID number in but still addresses would have to be the same and even then all the money would be tied into one account and so regardless of where it comes from website or trap kontera doesn't take that into consideration.
  7. How are you trying to delete the folder through FTP or through Cpanel? If you going through Cpanel try deleting it through the Legacy Cpanel and not the new one and if that doesn't work try a FTP program I recommend using FireFTP to get in.
  8. The problem has been fixed and you should be able to upload and update your wordpress blog.
  9. It had something to do with Apache being corupted and so wordpress should be working again since I test out my account and it works fine.
  10. With the xbox you may need to check your NAT settings and make sure its open as that is usually a reason why you get downtime through a router. Also how do you have your router configured as it may need some changes to work properly and you may need to upgrade the modem from comcast and of course have them check out the connections around your house.
  11. Oh so your saying that money that isn't being used under Xisto accounts get pushed to cover costs in Xisto? If so then that isn't possible since those kontera accounts are tied into other websites, I know I have it listed in several websites I am running and so that would be a problem. On top of that it would not be ethical and in a sense Xisto would be doing a Google and that it waits for you to build up enough money and then take it. Besides I don't think Kontera would allow that because of privacy issues since users need to put down contact information in order for them to recieve money. On top of that the use of Social security numbers is in use and so if Xisto had access to all those accounts and got hacked into then Xisto would be sued quicker then butter melting on a hot plate.
  12. Nice layout with a digg/yahoo answers type deal going on and yeah I wouldn't be calling it a forum since its more like a question and answer service then actual interaction between users.
  13. As for Gamma, from what I told, Apache had to be reinstalled and if your a wordpress user on gamma you had some problems. Well I just went through my account and your wordpress should be working again and as for the cause it could have been anything but my experience leads to file permissions as part of the package that caused Apache to be reloaded. As for the rest of the problems its seems to be random but the problems are being worked out and thats a good thing.
  14. Yeah you do not lose your money, although they only do six month blocks of displaying your earnings, meaning if you go from Jan-Jun and then you hit July, then you will not see Jan's earnings. Of course, since you can download the data it is a good way to keep track of your earnings for that year.
  15. Your not the only one who has problems with wordpress on this server as you cannot auto-update plugins along with uploading images and what not through posts. Rest assure that this issue will mention so it can get fixed asap.
  16. I would say for your tutorials that you provide images and more detail explinations and that way you provide more content for those posts. The Tag Cloud plugin can be instealld through wordpress, but trust me its more useless later on once you hit 100+ posts and so your best bet is to make sure you properly tag the posts and use a tag plugin that is being used on this blog.
  17. I have used only two wiresless routers in my time, though I still think the other one works, but the one that I like hte most was the Linksys WRT54g series since it is a cheap router that offers a lot for that kind of money. As for hte current one I am using it is the netgear 150 Rangemax, I haven't had too many problems with this router, had some minor disconnection issues but most of the time it is up and running especially now that it has a laptop, desktop, wireless printer, and a PS3 I have to say it has handle the load pretty well.
  18. Well you know my thoughts about this, and I do hope you go that route and have it as a seperate entity. That way you can develop a new socail commjunity instead of trying to replace an established brand and program.
  19. Well I am gad it is gone, I don't mind features but the features need to help promote quality posts, fresh topics, new member etc. We know the hosting is great and it will only get better with technology and resources, however the forums need to to start get topic and post quality up. Seen a lot of complain topics coming up and old stuff being brought back up and not enough new stuff to get members posting. Granted my schedule has kept me from being more active but when I left that is what I saw and of course there are forum mods that will prevent one-liners from getting posted and I am sure spam mods have gotten some recent updates as well. So that is what the forum needs, not another chat program.
  20. If members want a live chatroom thats fine, but this needs to be put somewhere else as in a link in which members can open seperately. It just seems so out of place and makes the forums look cluttered and what not. I briefly saw some of the posts about hte problems that could and can be created with this could affect Trap as a whole and the possibility of getting hacked because of that chat. Granted its a bit extreme but it needs to go either way.
  21. I pick the Saints to win just because I have a good feeling about them winning the Superbowl. Oh wait they did WOOT WOOT WOOT!!
  22. You could be right, Avatar had no competition since it has been out, granted a few movies made 100 million plus, but the line up has been horrible since December.
  23. Sadly me and misses are into games, we cry ourselves to sleep, but at least we are smart enough to know when to put it away and not be stupid enough to drop thousands of dollars into a virtual farm. What is really sad about this is when you show up on Dr. Phil and him telling you that you have a Farmville addiction...oh wait that did happen to some woman LOL. We play because its fun and its something to do while we chit chat about this and that.Of course, it started expanding to other games like Cafe World, Fishville, Country Life, Farkle, Farkle 2, but that is all and we are smart enough to plan ahead and not stare at the screen 24 hours a day. Other then that I am not addicted to these stupid Facebook games
  24. All arguments aside about the politics of this movie and economics, this movie deserves to knock off Titanic. Of course, how many 2.5 hours movies do you know tell a good story without rushing it? Not many movies could do that, even back then and now. I can't wait for the DVD, definitely going to get this for blu-ray, so I don't feel like driving two hours for the IMAX experience.Now the one thing that gets me though, everyone is talking about hte fact that this movie is making so mch money is because of IMAX, however, they never really talk about how much it would have made if it did not have an IMAX release. Though I don't think it would beat Titanic, I still say that it would sit comfortably in the #2 spot.Either way I enjoy this movie and it does warrant seeing it multiple times. Of course, I only can image how much movie this would really made if not for bootleg copies spread out all across the world.
