  2. for you hard work and service here at Xisto.com I present you this Sig for joining the Staff. ok finally after 3 tries i got the name right YEAH!!!.
  3. Click for full article ok what are these people thinking first they made exact copies of the flu strain and now they want to distribute it to research labs across america for what find the cure for the flu, you have to be kidding me, that has to be one of the stupidest things someone can do. All it takes is for it to alter and go airborne and we will be really screwed. the 1918 flu killed millions of people across the world and it was destroyed now morons like this bring it back to study, I hope they get infected with it that will let them know how stupid it is to regrow a deadly flu virus strain.
  4. well it has happens this afternoon/evening, when three suicide bombs went off killing so far 57 people wounding 300+ at 3 hotels that base us contractors and other people who work for the US government.whats really sicken is that their was a wedding going on when one of the bombs blew himself up.well they are getting smarter I can tell you that, go for the people waiting to go into iraq before they get they so slow down the process.well i have nothing more to say cuz them i will be doing some harm.

  6. did you check your junk email, plus it takes some time for the domain change to register so check your email up to 3 days and then contact someone about it.
  7. nope i believe Xisto is being move to a new server but that should have been done yesterday, maybe a hiccup with the server at this time.
  8. well norton like to take alot of ram to run its program thats why you get the slow running of it, the best thing to do is closed down any programs before you scan with norton or anything else.Also a good suggestion would be to purchase some more ram to be installed into your computer as well help speed up the computersAlso i recommend this free program as well its called Ram Def XT, it basically frees on ram to help move your computer a little faster as well.
  9. thats your browser the alignment is fine, but was looking at the source code and sure know how to waste space on it, crunch down some of that wasted space to what is actually needed in the source code it would be even smoother, but it is i good set up with the Iframe tags they used.
  10. i don't think frace as a whole ever really recovered from when the french revolution happen. But people need to make an effort to discourage the racism (religious, race, way of life) and have people understand. But hte problem is though people are looking for the easy way and thats caue problems well.instead of Fighting with each they should work together but that has never happen since the days of WWI and WWII on how conflicts should be solved. But people are so coruppted when it comes to power and money they make sure peace never happens or they will not have that power and money.
  11. Well I picked Norton 2006 last night since my subscription ran out so I thought I give a review on it and let you the members of trap get a good idea what it all before getting it.The First thing I notice what was different then most Norton software after it install it automatically does the first scan of the computer (13 warnings_adware). Also for the first time it checks programs that connect to the internet as well but just a bit better as well then that awful 2005 where the block programs came up ever 2 minutes that was finally fixed. Also it does a tab FYI on your task bar as well (new feature, most anti-virus software that I know does that or closely related to it.)Another new feature it as is the internet security, in which it checks to see how well your computer is secured against everyone else (I got a green light for it YEAH!!), it install a small active X program (most annoying things in the world) and checks your computer for any firewall or other anti-virus stuff that you may have on your computer as well.Also they actually updated their adware/spyware somewhat, but not enough to catch everything still.Also the newest feature that EVERYONE WILL LOVE except for website owners is ad-blocking which litteraly blocks all ads on websites so you don't have to look that them and browse on your merry way, I have notice it work on trap but will look into it.Also another new feature they have put in is learning script where when you open up a program that somewhat requires a internet connections (updates and what not)it, learns the name of the program and what scripts/files it carries and in theory if it is altered Norton will let you know. (Of course that is what I think it does),The next new feature they have is called blocking internet traffic, basically saying you block it your connection is dead (while still on) meaning that all programs IM, browsers, games and whatever else you can think will not be sent to your computer, good idea for the corporate user.Next the added to the interface for Norton as well to it more in depth and bring you what you need.Security Basics is the basics of what you need for protection I.E. -firewall -virus definitions (has the date when you last updated them)-windows update -Auto-protect (pop ups and people trying to send a virus and Norton picks it up immediately)-Full System Scan (has the date when you last did one)Next is Data Recovery, basically means it protects you from disk crashes, missing files, and bad installs of corrupted files level (or something like that) And what?s bad enough I don't have this so they provide you a link to get yourself protect from data loss in which case you have to buy the Norton system works for that very reason, well lucky for me I have nothing really of importance to recover from this computer anyways so I will skip that and not get it for the $50 (even though I recommend getting it for your corporate people)But this is the break down to Data Recovery and what protection you should have.-Install & PC Recovery-Fix Disk Drive Problems-recover Deleted FilesUp next in the command center of Norton is my favorite little tool Computer Performance (basically make your computer run fast smooth and not god awful slow). And what this basically does is from the definition I am reading: Protection from registry problems, disk fragmentation, file clutter and more.(Yeah for me I am halfway their for that, again purchase the Norton System works for complete protection again) So here?s the break for Performance-Auto Protect-Spyware Protection-Improve Performance-Clean up PC Clutter-fix Windows Problems (to fix that don't get a windows OS )Well that?s it for Pc protection and now for Internet Protection (yeaaah )First Part to Internet Protection is web browsing basically it says protections from downloads, music, games and more. That?s obvious of course when on the internet. So it breaks down to this-Auto Protect-Spyware Protection-firewall-Intrusion Protection-Parental Control (don't have but neither do I have kids, but if you recommend software is Norton Internet Security which basically has everything firewall, spy/adware, anti-virus parental control at $50.00)-Ad blocking-Pop up blockingUp next is Email protection, this is for the likes of outlook express or when you download something from your email or open it like a sucker when they say you won $5 million dollars . Of course another new added feature is Instant Messenger programs well only AOL MSN and YAHOO are on so ICQ users to bad for you . Also somewhat new even though I doubt this will work is spam protection and from what I seen in the config Norton can delete the spam email right as it get sent to your email box) warning outlook express and gmail only (maybe) and which means you have to type the words in that you want to have deleted best part you only need one word cause it will cover all combinations of it (by reading the letters) Any ways here?s the break down for the email protection-Email Scanning-Instant Messenger Scanning-Work blocking-Firewall-Privacy Control-Spam protectionUp next in the Main Menu of 2006 is Internet Security and for you Norton users the only thing new is Outbreak alert which tells you of a major virus attack and statistics which basically tell what ads/cookies are blocked or permitted (cookies trying to figure that one out meh) and what attacks where done on your firewall as well.Next is the Virus menu which is self explanatory lists the current viruses and its updates, lets you know your current status in updates to the virus list and what protection you currently have running.Next is the Anti Spam feature which?s gives a little more detail so I will break it down for you.-Anti-spam (Norton prevents the spam emails from getting in)-Allowed List (basically is which people are allowed to email you could be convinent for keeping the crazy ex-gf or ex-bf or those bullies at school from emailing you.)-Blocked List (the emails that will not be accepted in your email box (warning outlook express and gmail only)-Outbound Training (new one) (from what I read it basically helps filter out going mail to improve spam filter-AD Blocking (basically blocks all of those ads no making money that way anymore AHAHAHA ) (Seriously though it prevents slow ad and children seeing the naughty ones as well)-Pop up Blocking (really do I have to explain this, the answer is no)-how many Days remaining (tell you when your subscription is yeah whoopiee)Also in your Protection center all the option are linked to its configuration meaning you click on its link and you can configure it to your liken.To me I give this 4/5 rating it?s a big improvement but Norton need to get with the program and start working in the spyware and adware improvements. Its better then 2005 protection wise with the added new features but still lacks the spyware adware protection you really need.Also like to add a Little more info also you get a 1 year download subscription, meaning if your computer goes the way of the dodo you can redown load the software with no problems at, which is a good thing.Also for those worried about size and space everything that comes with the budle package which includes norton 2k6 anti-virus, password mananger and live update is a simple 76.88mb of space, which is pretty good for an update I think.
  12. even with the 700+kbps it slow hmm well that went out the window unless its...what kind of computer do you have?
