Old but goodieRoad Rash 2Desert StrikeNintendoMario BrothersI cannot wait until Age of Empires 3 comes out for PC though... that might be a new favorite!

keep it all in one file, that way you can have a differnt css file for completely different sections of your site, if that's an appeal. But i like to have to open and save only one file to the server when making changes to my site.round

I have seen many websites do external stylesheets for the entire website, with internal stylesheets for the individual pages. I believe that Slashdot in fact does that now.

Im hosting a wordpress blog on Xisto currently, and I have noticed some problems with it as well. Im hoping, this problem resolves itself with no data loss. That would not be cool....

This code comes from a Post in developerfusion.uk.... I have myself controlled other keys but not exactly in this fashion. This will work for almost all other keys that you would want to control.

Private Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction As Long, ByVal uParam As Long, ByVal lpvParam As Any, ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long


Private Sub disablekeys(disable As Boolean)
SystemParametersInfo 97, disable, CStr(1), 0
End Sub


Private Sub disablek_Click()
disablekeys True
End Sub

Private Sub enablek_Click()
disablekeys False
End Sub

I'll have to check out wordpress.  I hadn't heard of it before, I just knew about movable type.  I switched from Yahoo 360, because I wanted more features for my blog.

So I came to Xisto.com got myself some free hosting, then set up movable type.  I've been really happy so far except for the Netflix plugin that I cannot get working.

Does Xisto's servers have all of the requirements to run wordpress?

From what I have been reading Xisto does have all of the requirements to run Wordpress. That is the main reason I have in fact joined, so Im hoping that I am correct in this assumption!

Yesterday, people were lining up at gas stations to fill up before prices go up. Some people were waiting over an hour to get gas. And this was all because of the rumors! By the afternoon, gas stations had actually run out of gas because of the high demand and had to wait for refueling before they could open again.

 

End result at the end of the day? No increase in price but they sold a ton of gas.

From an economics stand point, you answered you own question as to why gas prices are going up. "People were lining up at gas stations to fill up before prices go up." This demand in fact creates a smaller supply. Even if no shortage would have been caused by oil producers, the simple fact that people are filling up in anticipation of an event, causes the event to happen. Its a really messed up catch twenty two.

There are lots of possibilities of using old computers as routers.

 

If computerhas enough RAM (24 - 32 MB) it can be good router.

 

Just few Ethernet cards, Linuxoid software router installed and - it flies!

 

I tried, it works.

You mentioned the software router, what about installing a IP address block such as Peer Guardian 2? Peer Guardian 2 currently only runs on Windows, but the do have a link Here that is for linux and may work best for you situation.

I have never seen a downtime problem with Gmail, almost every problem I have experienced is on my ISP. Im not sure which way you are accessing Google, but one of the great new ways is creating a personalized homepage for yourself at Google Personalized Homepage. Plus another unique way to use it is to install Gmail Drive Extension and use it as a personal harddrive.

From what your describing, even though I have not yet played this game, sounds like Mech Warrior to me. Other games that it could be are Gundam Wing or a few others... What console are you playing it on?

If you have not purchased Nightlife, or University yet, I wouldnt purchase Open for Business and purchase all three together for a discounted rate. In the past people have saved lot of money waiting until Maxis has bundled all of the software packages together.

I personally believe that the best combination of search and browser is Firefox and search engines extensions. For example, if you want to find an encyclopedia article, add in the wikipedia search toolbar into firefox, or if you want to find a bittorrent file, insert the isohunt engine. Firefox's extensions greatly outweigh any other browser. On another note, I wonder if google will ever decide to create a browser....

After reading the following posts, I have seen one program I use and love, not mentioned: Peer Guardian 2. Now granted, the common use is usually to block anti p2p companies such as the RIAA, and may not be considered a "firewall", but I have seen it block spyware, adaware, and even popups that many of my previous firewalls have missed. Plus, the greatest feature of the new version is that it takes a very small amount of memory and cpu usage. The only problem I have seen is that it is a tad overzealous, but you can fix this by allowing more ip ranges. Just my two cents
