  1. Wheres the manipulation? :PAlthough the grainy looks good the lines are bit much on the face as it looks like the top layer in this design. Also the blue stands out a bit to much and should be blended more too look like internal bruising.
  2. Read Story Here Yeah and I love this little quote First off idiot, second moron, and third duh. Now really why the heck you going to publicize something like that for? If that number is accurate i only could imagine how many have been successful, and the percentage break down of wannabe's to legit hackers is as well. Although they claim they have a server that is being used to test the security, but what are the odds that this server is still connected to that network in someway. Either way some legit hacker will find a way to get past that phony network they will in find a way to get to the whole network and then work there way into the system and maybe crash it. Of course I would doubt they got so many safety measures in place for this little open challenge so I think they are taken every percaution that will prevent someone to get very lucky and get further into the system. Either way doing something like this just so someone could win a $100-200 router could cost you millions and so I conclude idiot, moron, and lastly duh.
  3. Before you do the process set up you need to request the upgrade by going here. That way the admin can approve the request and then you can upgrade your hosting.
  4. Ouch, sorry about that Mich I guess it wasn't as simple as I thought it would be . Yeah I would agree that getting a second opinion especially from a back specialist to see if anything else can be done, because that will kind of suck. Hopefully something can be figured out without you being put in a wheel chair or put in a bed, plus who would I set up SOTW for if you gone?
  5. Its not that I care about it I just got it for the heck of it, and only use it if I have to email files, or talk to the few people on Gtalk, if you want to add me to gtalk my email is archangel.michael.a[at]gmail.com.Although you can use your gmail for file storage I wouldn't risk putting something in there, but I odn't since I got a EHD at my disposal to do that; However, why doesn't google get it over with and just unlimited the gmail accounts this small increases are just lame when yahoo has done it and I think Microsoft as well. That way people can start upload movies to there accounts and create google torrents from there .
  6. Well we all know about the steroid scandals for the last few hitting some big players, and of course Barry Bonds on purjury charges a few weeks ago. Now the Big report which you can actually download here. In this report includes the following players: Chad AllenMike BellGary BennettLarry BigbieKevin BrownAlex CabreraMark CarreonJason ChristiansenHowie ClarkRoger ClemensJack CustBrendan DonnellyChris DonnelsMatt FrancoEric GagneMatt HergesPhil HiattGlenallen HillTodd HundleyMike JuddDavid JusticeChuck KnoblauchTim LakerMike LansingPaul Lo DucaNook LoganJosias ManzanilloCody McKayKent MerckerBart MiadichHal MorrisDaniel NaultyDenny NeagleJim ParqueLuis PerezAndy PettitteAdam PiattTodd PrattStephen RandolphAdam RiggsArmando RiosBrian RobertsF.P.

So what does that mean for a lot of these players, it's very simple if the proof is there then there careers are over and most of them can kiss their entry to the Baseball Hall of Fame as well. Although I lost interest in baseball years ago due to strike I was slowly getting back into it as I was read news and scores about the Yankee's losing, but now with this report I don't even think I will watch 2 seconds of baseball anymore. So how does that work out for the fans who think of these people as there hero's thats on them to decide to drop them and look for someone else or stick with them until the end.

  7. OMG is all I have to say and when they mention hoax the first time I thought it until you get into the video later and the fact they talk to one of the original actors who was in that video. Of course you may recognize the guy as well as he was a popular gameshow host as well. Of course after watching that video awesome as it is, that video is a bit eerie especially when ARPANET was still in its early stages of development. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  8. I thought I throw in a SOTW bump so if your a graphic designing mood for the holiday's then design your Christmas sig.
  9. I am going to bump this because of how quickly it disappear, and so hopefully people will notice and vote in it, thank you.
  10. Since your looking to flash I would recommend checking out http://www.pixel2life.com/ They have quite a nice database of tutorials and have a nice section of flash so that can help you out as well. Also there are quite a few gallery scripts especially ajax galleries, and since your using lightbox you will like this website as it covers many different versions of lightbox and what else you can do with using this script as well. LightBox Of course here are the different Gallery scripts as well that are either ajax based or javascript based. However, if your interested in a flash gallery then you could try these out flash image gallery Or if you looking to gain coding experience then here is a nice list of tutorials on how to build a flash gallery. So as you can tell I can't provide with how to code since I am not a flash guy, but these resources should be able to help you on your way.
  11. Well we would need to see how you have the pages set up before we know how to fix the problem, so if you can load a demo page to your account or post the code to the gallery page to take a look and see what it looks like. Just remember although your loading an external page that page needs to have the proper coding, and so make sure your gallery page has this in your header <script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script> and of course have this connected to your pics as well rel="lightbox" If you need more help I know lightbox pretty well, and enough ajax and php to fix the problem, but before that just post a demo or the code your working with and we can fix it right up. Also let us know what method your using since you didn't mention in the post which way you went.
  12. All I have to say thank god I never set up my cell phone like this because damn that is a lot for a phone bill. Of course I guess when you look into using your cell phone as a modem MAKE SURE TO READ YOUR PLAN about how unlimited that plan is and the limitations on that modem as well. Well at least they were nice enough to knock down that bill to $3,400, but of course they are going to fight that as well and it they don't get it lowered anymore he should be lucky that he is not paying the full amount. You know how anal phone companies are about getting their money Source
  13. Wow first off let me say I am shocked that your not studying World War II in your history class that was practically a requirement in every grade when I was in school; well not a requirement but we covered a lot of it but luckily for you I know plenty off the top of my head on this. Germany was the primary country but as for the others countries it was basically any country Germany had control of, and that was most of Europe as this image shows "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png /> But it was primarily Germany that did everything, and so those who work were either German Soldiers, Nazi's, or slave labor. As For neutral Switzerland was the only country to be neutral, well publicly, but most likely they did underground resistance. As for resistance pretty much everyone in Europe who fought the Germans and that also includes United States, Russia, Great Britain, Canada, India, Most African countries but thats when the war was brought over there, and Australia. There were other countries as well but in the European conflict you will know mostly US, GB, USSR that participated. However, I would suggest turning on the history channel as they mostly talk about world war II or well they did a few years ago, but you will learn a lot more from books and maybe a few websites. So this should give you a head start on what ever project your trying to do.
  14. After reading this article and somewhat experience some of the problems, but I would say some of these annoyances can be fix and this article is rather a rant in some cases such as this one. 1. The Antipiracy Inquisition Yeah I can understand the business aspect of this situation you don't to many people access to that kind of information especially with software that have keys that can be a used a certain amount of time. But if your a home user or have a small business creating a log with these keys, both hard copy and word document), would be helpful and that way you can just work from that file and not have every manually stacked on your desk. So its not really an annoyance its rather a inconvenience when it comes to product keys and installing software. There is more I want to say on this but trying to find the right words for it seems a bit difficult on this and so I leave this one up for interpretation. 2. DRM Confusion It's it obvious it's a way to make more money , and with that note I would have to agree especially with how cross-platforming has gotten better in the last few years. Yeah when it comes to music though there are to many compression methods for music, of course no one really cares when they have spend $25-$30 for one CD, and I think thats why I don't listen to music all that much, but either way what can you expect since the dawn of napster the music industry has been hit hard and so I think they are taking there revenge on the illegal downloads by doing this, thus my first statement I made. 3. Never Being Able to Say Never Yeah this is annoying, but all it takes is two seconds to click cancel or exit for those screens and be on your way. Although it is a bit funny thought that I never really ran into this problem with the anti-virus. 4. Registering for Spam Yeah I like to know who registers their software outside the business level, and as for updates I just have to click a button or do an automatic thing. Plus who really read legit spam they signed up for anyways? I don't. But I will admit though when install software I HATE that they have search engine toolbars like good or yahoo and year I understand the partnership deal with companies like that but that is more annoying then recieving the spam. Also I don't think its hard to hit the spam button when you select the email that is considered spam to begin with. 5. Whatever Happened to Please and Thank You? Personally I rather know that I am getting these updates and then lettings getting installed in the background for all I know those background updates could be something else. So people should be happy that they know these updates are legit when a pop up message comes up, on the other hand I don't think it would be hard to google or yahoo to find information about removing the quick launch application by finding what registry to edit or something like that. Look here its the method to remove the Quick Time from start up, Wow so hard 6. Don't Get Too Attached to That Software Again its a money thing thats why they say NEW FEATURES and stuff like that, so its not the annoyance its all about capitalism right there, but still for software that is supposed to protect our computers the company are not really focusing on that as much as they should. Yeah they let us know when some bad virus or worm is out they let us know and junk, but if want to add a new feature or something, is is that hard to create a patch that would change the look or something? 7. Inconsistent Windows Apps Why don't we let Microsoft buy out all the companies and that way we all have one plan, yeah if you pick up the sarcasm you know were I am going next with this if not read on. There is no universal plan on how a software is supposed to look so bare with it and either double click or single to do what ever application your using. Now for that InCopy thing I don't remember anything like that situation from happening unless you consider when a program freezes and you minimize it and its still there as your desktop. Like I said earlier this article is more of a rant then anything else now I will admit what I don't find annoying others will, but really now if some of these problems really annoy the heck out of you then I think you people need a break from your computer and figure out your priorities on what annoys you and stuff. With that being said have any of these things annoyed you or something else that is not listed here when dealing with computers? Then let us know.

  15. After doing some research o this topic it would seem to be that DNS records are at admin level for the subdomain so you can't change anything. I know you can add and park Top Level Domains and or create more subdomains for your site and so I think that is the limitation you have in terms of DNS. You can find those tools in the Site Management Tools which is right below the Email Management Tools.
  16. To answer your first question yes that would be your ftp address, and to answer your second question I did a small test in dreamweaver and if you follow these quick steps you will have access to your account. 1. Open up dreamweaver 2. Go to Site > Manage Site 3. Click New Site 4. Select FTP & RDS Server 5. Put in your ftp address, login name and password 6. Click Ok and you will be connected Now the FTP will show up o the right side or just hit hte F8 key and it will appear where ever that menu is.
  17. Well first off I can't I never posted in this topic :POk I as for what I use this my computers for is pretty much everything; school. work. web design, graphic design. After all that I play games, chat with people, read, post in forums such as Xisto (cheap promo), and going surfing looking for stuff on the net in my spare time as well.
  18. If you have ever watch the history channel they did an episode on real world technology based on star trek and star wars that have shown quite a few other tools.However, I would like to point out that their is a HUUGE difference between Antarctica and a moon colony? That difference is simple gravity and oxygen. Outer space lacks that and all it takes is a golf ball to create a very bad situation; however, I doubt they would have glass domes and junk like that but still an object going through outer space at like a few hundred thousand miles an hour is going to do some huge damage to something.
  19. Ok although I am aware about animal experimentation to better mankind and all that stuff and how cruel some of these experiments can be but I have to ask WTH and OMG. Although it looks cool and eerie looking I have to say though I don't want to glow like that. I wonder what PETA has to say about this . Here is the story about this um side affect. Like I said I am aware of it but it is a fight I don't want to participate in, does it mean I am ugly person? No I say in my defense the less I know whats really going on the less I have to think about. I am person who is in between the fight do I think some of things that do go on that screw with animals and people is messed up yeah, but I don't believe in some of the tactics these activist do to fix the problem. Either way I would say that this "side effect" is one of those things that scientist should be worried about and or fix it somehow without the need to kill these animals to start over again.
  20. To answer your questions as for an average hard to say really maybe 1-2 hours depending on how much you type because the longer your posts are the more credits you will get. So if you a fast type and you know what you want to say you maybe able to a few minutes off the time needed to make 30 credits. As for the the price of getting that free domain I just ask this would you rather pay for the domain in cash once a more or once a year or would you rather posts good quality stuff in the forums and renew that domain once a year with little to no effort and save yourself some cash? As for the deduction yes you will lose 10 credits however, just a warning that if you have more credits 10 or 30 you will lose those as well when you apply for hosting. So think about which hosting plan and get the right amount of credits you need that way you won't lose any earn credit past that, and just remember to make sure your posts are of quality and not one liner, spammish, or off topic. Of course I would recommend reading the Xisto Read Me as that will explain everything you need to do before and after get hosted.
  21. Yeah I have to agree with pleno that for space travel to possible several factors have to come into play: 1. Money And I mean a series load of it like in the hundreds of trillions of dollars to fund this project which includes mass producing ship parts, developing a energy source that can pull off star trek speeds, and some sort of hull that can take small objection without puncturing a giant hole from a meteorite or something. 2. Space Ship Now if we have this huge source of money covered the next problem is the ship, basically you would have to make the space ships be like the Enterprise from star trek. Not only does it have to be fast it has to be huge so people can move around and sleep comfortably and not be in such a tight space. As for speed thats a given we need to be able to hit the speed of light or close to it ( the speed of light is 669,600,000 MPH), and I believe the current space shuttle can only do about 25,000 MPH. So we already know that either a nuclear engine or something more powerful would need to built in order to sustain that kind of power, even if its small burst just to get the motion going. As for the hull of the ship it needs to about 1000x more better then the current hull system as it needs to be able with stand objects the size of softballs from putting a hole into the ship and collapsing it. Thus you would need the most advance weapon, tracking, monitoring system in the known universe to be able keep tabs on all the objects in space. Like I said we would need to build a enterprise for that to be even possible. 3. Water/Food We need food and water there is no doubt about that, and right now only the planet Earth has was we need to survive. 4. Time Using this website to explain it, no human can live two hundred thousand years or if oyu read further down nine trillion years. So in order turn years into hours in space travel you need to pull off warp speed like speed to not have 360,000,000,000 generations (9 trillion number) of human bodies floating in space once they die. Lets not forget time is different in space as well, and if I remember correctly if you travel back and forth in a set number of years the actual age of the of the planet is double that. Not to sure how that works so if someone knows what I am referring to clear that situation up. 5. Human race For this to work everyone has to stop the BS, but we all know peace on earth will never happen, and so in that conclusion after rereading these points I would think it would be impossible unless the hypothetical worm hole appears out of nowhere next to the planet earth traveling to outer space will only will happen to those who have deep pockets and the means to actually get out there and perform science experiments. Although I saw an article a couple of days ago that the Voyager spacecrafts are now reaching the point were our solar system ends and the universe begins, and that took 30 years for those 2 tiny satellites to get there. Of course during that time no contact has ever been made, and so it leads to my final point. 6. Why Do it? If we are the only living things in this universe why bother risking the dangers of this unknown universe? Although we have about 5 Billion years left on this planet give or take a catastrophic event The human race only chance of survive would be find a planet that is a exact duplicate of this planet, and out of the 200+ planets found so far none have come close to earth like yet. Early 20th century had high hopes for the future such as by the year 2000 we have flying cars and stuff like that but its 2007 and we haven't done anything to cure disease, hunger, global warming, and so us as a race now in a period of time that all it takes is someone to press a button and that would be it. Could it be possible to leave this planet and travel the stars? Maybe will it happen in the generation-x life time, not likely. The 21st century children have to realize that we their parents and grandparents and great grandparents have done a lot of damage, and if the 21st century children cannot get past our mistakes it might never happen.
  22. Wow I have to say that this is the most useless item on the market just because that peppery spray better be very effective for such a small amount. Of course if that fails you can always leave a imprint in a person's skull with that ring when you punch the person.
  23. Well before I get into the article I would have to say this, they didn't know this already and it has been a medical mystery since the dawn of man kind? Although we know that 6-9 months during the pregnancy that a woman's spine works over time just because of the weight of the child they carry, thus the back pains and what not. Now after reading this article it would give a better explanation as to why the back pains are really bad sometimes for women when they are pregnant, because of the rapid change in body posture. I say that loosely because that change happens gradually over the 9 month period but between 6-9 months it would change rather quicker I would suspect. Like I said you would think the medical world knew why, but I guess thats the mystery of the human body. SOURCE
  24. Paid-to-click is what PTC is, and interestingly enough I know that template very well it is the Multiflex series of XHTML 1.1 templates, I know hte guy somewhat on who designed it .
  25. rayzor rayzor haven't you learn from the posts and topics that the most expensive stuff is not always the best, and lets see how I can top the recommendations from the previous posts and save your just a bit more money. Remember that building a PC is all about compatibility and getting what you pay for, I spent about 3 hours going through parts just to make sure the computer I get works for what I pay for. Computer Case Case #1 Case #2 Case #3 Of course if none of these are to your liking this list of cases listed by rating and for less then $100 would help you decide. Processors Yeah like truefusion said you don't need a quad to run a gaming system dual core is plenty for what you need, and although I can't save a ton of money for the processor, I did find one that has quite a lot of power for its price. Processor #1 Of course if money is no option then you can get a seemingly identical processor for twice the cost <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115002; target="_blank"> Processor #2</a> RAM To me RAM is RAm and as long as it works for the right machine then I am happy, case in point first off your Patriot brand I found it for cheaper, and funny enough if I had sets to get 4 gigs it would be somewhat cost effective. You know why? because hte most you will ever need is 2-3 gigs and that being said you have your self a spare set just in case your first set gets trashed. Either way its about $60 dollars cheaper. RAM #1 Now I will have to agree with dre that the COSAIR RAM is good ot have case in point although just a bit more expensive then Ram Set #1, it still is undred $100. Although I am bit surprise dre didn't mention anything about kingston, and I think this is the right company then they are awesome in the memory department especially in the USB arena. RAM #2 Since were are talking about COSAIR here is a set from them $100 even RAM #3 Cooling Devices You might as well drop them from the list since they are not really necessary, and if you plan to overclock your system you might as well look into water cooling as that would be a bit more effective then adding fans. Also processors usually come with a fan so that second one really isn't needed. Motherboard Depending on which processor you go with usually you want to stick with the motherboard that they recommend as they are the most compatible, but it seems that some people had some problems with this one. So with te money you saved so far from everything else you could spend a bit more on a nice motherboard, and just a reminder since I have listed a Intel processor you need a Intel motherboard but if your going the AMD route then start with the suggestion from truefusion. Also before I forget even more usually when building a computer you start with the motherboard or the processor that way you will have the best compatibility with the rest of the hardware. Motherboard to look at Hard Drive Only comment I have is do you plan to blow threw 1TB of hard drive space? If not drop one of the hard drives. Power Supply First off you are way under powered for the set up you have already you would need to push it to 700-750 watts to keep that system stable, but since we have calmed it down a bit a 650 watt would be sufficient for your needs. Also remember the higher the efficiency percentage the better the distribution of power through out the system and so I would recommend one of these power supplies. Also make sure whatever case you buy doesn't come with a power supply as they are usually under powered when building a computer, and make sure the power supply fits the form factor of the case as well, forgot to mention that earlier with the motherboard. Just Remember if you get a ATX or Micro ATX motherboard make sure your case and power supply is ATX as well, and so here is a list of power supplies I would somewhat recommend, just because your build could change and you might need less or might need more. Power Supply List CD-ROM Drives Those are universal along with floppy drives just remember you want speed over anything else the max being 52x, and so if you can get a good distribution of that speed across the board then your fine so double check the speeds before making a final purchase. GFX Card For someone who wants a gaming machine you don't have a graphics card in that list; as for the graphic card that really depends on where you want to go then 8000 series are top of the line and very expensive, the 7000 are just as good and more affordable if you have a budget, and if you really can't spend that much money then the 6000 series is the way to go. As for memory the more the better that way the gfx card won't rely on system memory. So I recommend one these based on what I read. Card #1 Card #2 Card #3 Card #4 Sound Card Like dre said if you plan to have a sound system connected to your computer to fully get into the system then its the way to go, if not then you can drop it off your list. Monitor Flat Panel LCD is the way to go they are expensive so bear that in mind as you choose the right size and usually 20-21" would be a recommendation in the gamer arena but if you want bigger then 22" is it. I would say at most you would save about $400-$500 tops with the hardware that I compared to with the list you posted and everything else that you forgot to mention would cut that savings in half give or take $100.
