I am scared most when I look down from a very tall building or structure. It's not to the extent of a phobia that is extreme, I do go to great heights, but am just scared that I will fall down from there!I never have fallen, but I am still scared.

I am very happy that I have turned off uPnP and all other unwanted services from my OS. I don't even have MSN messenger, so getting a virus from that is out of question. But what about Yahoo messenger? IS that also as vulnerable as MSN messenger for viruses?

I totally agree with whyme and also the spirit behind Rik's post, when he says that 'Now that Firefox get's more popular each day people find more bugs'.The main disadvantage of IE is that it is popular and people will try to bring it down. Now that Firefox is catching up, they won't even spare it.However, being open source, it is more open for such attacks, and on the contrary also more likely that such bugs will be fixed very soon...

Good short tutorial. Will surely use it sometime soon when creating images for my site.And Senor, how are you getting along with GIMP?

I am not surprised that you have read almost the same somewhere else. Most medical information, when it is 'translated' for laymen turns out very similar. I have included content from many sources as I have declared in the post itself.

Hi, This tutorial is very useful for me. I am using CSS for navigation menu in my site. I use the display: block css code. What are the other options other than block that I can use? Can you also please elaborate more on different CSS styles? Thank you Googlue

I think this is the first medical tutorial here. Most of the tutorials are technical. But this shows the diversity of Xisto! I also think mst members here are very young and hence need to know this about Acne. Nearly 17 million people in the United States have acne, making it one of the most common skin diseases in the USA. Although acne is not a serious health threat, severe acne can lead to disfiguring, permanent scarring, which can be upsetting for people who have it. Anatomy: Our body is covered with hair, except for a few areas. Some of the hair is very smooth and barely noticeable. Hair is made of a chemical compound called keratin, which is made inside the skin by the hair follicle. Small glands located around hair follicles produce an oily substance called sebum. These glands are called sebaceous glands. Sebum seeps onto the skin surface through the opening of the follicle. Together, the hair follicle and sebaceous glands around it are called a pilosebaceous unit. Pilosebaceous units are biggest and most abundant on the face, upper back, and chest. These are areas where acne tends to show up. Acne: Acne is a disorder of the skin?s sebaceous glands that results in clogged pores and lesions, commonly called pimples or zits. Acne lesions usually occur on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. Acne occurs when sebum is not able to pass through the hair follicle. Cells from the lining of the follicle are shed too fast and clump together, plugging up the follicle?s opening so sebum cannot get through. The mixture of sebum and cells causes bacteria to grow in the plugged follicles. These bacteria produce chemicals and enzymes that can cause inflammation. When a plugged follicle can no longer hold its contents, it bursts and spills sebum, skin cells, and bacteria onto nearby skin. People of all ages get acne, but it is most common in adolescents. Nearly 85% of adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12 and 24 develop acne. People of all races can have acne, but it is more common among Caucasians. Most people no longer have acne by the time they reach their 30s; however, some people continue to have acne in their 40s and 50s. Causes: The exact cause of acne is unknown, but doctors believe it results from several factors. The main factor is high hormone levels. Male sex hormones called androgens increase in both boys and girls during puberty. More androgens leads to enlarged sebaceous glands, which means more sebum is made. Another factor related to acne is heredity, or genetics. The tendency to develop acne can be inherited from parents. For example, studies show that many school-age boys with acne have a family history of it. Several factors can make acne worse. Hormone levels in girls and women may cause worse acne 2-7 days before their menstrual period starts. Hormonal changes related to pregnancy can cause acne to get worse. When women start or stop taking birth control pills, hormonal changes can also cause acne to flare up. Stress, especially severe or prolonged emotional tension, may worsen acne. Certain drugs are known to cause acne. These include: ? androgens - male hormones ? lithium - for treating bipolar disorder ? barbiturates ? used to control seizures (epilepsy) Greasy makeup can change the cells of the follicles and make them stick together; causing acne. Leaning on or rubbing the face may worsen acne. The pressure from bike helmets, backpacks, or tight collars can contribute to or worsen acne. Environmental irritants, such as pollution and high humidity, can make acne worse. Acne may get worse if blemishes are squeezed or picked at. When the skin is scrubbed hard, acne can also become worse. Acne is NOT caused by: ? eating chocolate ? eating greasy food ? dirty skin Symptoms: Acne causes lesions called comedones, which are enlarged hair follicles plugged with oil and bacteria. A comedo is often called a microcomedo because it cannot be seen by the naked eye. If a comedo stays under the skin, it is called a closed comedo, or whitehead. Whiteheads usually look like small, whitish bumps on the surface of the skin. A comedo that reaches the surface of the skin and opens up is called a blackhead because it looks black. The black discoloration is not due to dirt. Whiteheads and blackheads may stay in the skin for a long time. Treatment: A dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in diseases and disorders of the skin. Acne is usually treated by a dermatologist. The purpose of acne treatment is to prevent scars. Acne treatment also aims to reduce the number of lesions and minimize embarrassment caused by acne. Dermatologists usually use medication to treat acne. Acne medication reduces: ? clumps of cells in the follicles ? oil production ? bacteria ? inflammation Depending on how severe acne is, the doctor may prescribe a topical medication or an oral medication. Topical means the medication is applied to the skin and oral medication is taken by mouth. Sometimes, the doctor prescribes more than one topical medication, or both oral and topical medications at the same time. Some common over-the-counter topical medications for acne are: ? benzoyl peroxide ? salicylic acid ? sulfur ? sulfur and resorcinol Some common prescription topical medications for acne are: ? benzoyl peroxide ? clindamycin ? erythromycin ? tetracycline ? tretinoin Prescription medications are different from over-the-counter ones because they include antibiotics and other chemicals that decrease the growth of the bacteria. In some patients, acne medications cause side effects such as skin irritation, burning, or redness. Side effects usually stop after the medication has been used awhile. Severe side effects should be reported to the doctor. It may be 4-8 weeks after medication is started before improvement is noticed in the skin. If severe acne does not improve with other medications, isotretinoin may be needed. Isotretinoin is an oral drug that is usually taken once or twice a day for 16-20 weeks. Other treatments for acne include: ? hormonal treatment ? low-dose corticosteroids ? anti-androgen drugs ? removal of the comedones by a dermatologist ? steroid injections in the lesions ? skin peeling therapy ? cosmetic surgery to reduce scarring Skin Care: People with acne should wash their skin GENTLY with a mild cleanser, once in the morning and once in the evening. If acne areas are scrubbed, the acne could get worse. The skin should be washed after heavy exercise. The face should be washed from under the jaw to the hairline; rough scrubs or pads should not be used. It is important to thoroughly rinse the skin after washing. People with acne should wash their hair regularly. If hair is oily, it can be washed every day. The skin should not be touched very often. People who squeeze, pinch, or pick their blemishes risk developing scars. Men who have acne should find out whether an electric or safety razor is more comfortable. If a safety razor is used, the blade should be sharp and the beard hairs should be softened with soap and water before shaving cream is applied. Tanning should be avoided. Even though a tan may ?hide? blemishes, the benefits are temporary. The sun can damage skin, promote aging, and cause skin cancer. Also, many medications used to treat acne make the skin burn faster. Choose cosmetics carefully. While taking acne medication, cosmetics may need to be changed. All cosmetics, such as foundation, blush, eye shadow, and moisturizers, should be oil free. It may be difficult to apply foundation evenly during the first few weeks of treatment because skin may be red or scaly, especially with topical tretinoin or benzoyl peroxide. Lip products that contain moisturizers may cause small, open and closed comedones to form. Hair products that touch the skin along the hairline can cause burning or stinging. Products that are labeled ?non-comedogenic? should be used. Non-comedogenic means the product does not encourage blemishes to form. SUMMARY: Acne is a very common, treatable skin condition. Frequent follow-ups, different medication options, and lifestyle changes may be necessary. Most patients can control acne with current medications and have little to no scarring. With the help of a dermatologist, you or someone you love can control acne and go on enjoying life! DISCLAIMER: The information given by googlue here is just for your information!

Excellent tutorial on how to host your own site.But just asking, why do you need it when you can have all that and more effortlessly here at Xisto?

Well, Benz1435, I checked that and you are right. It has been posted earlier at the tutorials section.However, I have reason to believe that mukund has not copied and pasted here from your tutorial. This is a piece of information that is not seen in your post, but only in Mukund's post: This piece of information is seen in your post, but not in Mukund's post: But I would suggest to mukund that he should search for such a topic before posting new ones.

It seems okay, but very heavy due to graphics. Making it a little less on graphics would help a lot in terms of page loading speeds. Talking of CMS, the only CMS that I have ever fallen in love is Mambo. I have tested almost all CMS, all tested on my Xisto hosted site in the last one year... but I have ultimately decided for Mambo and sticking to it! Come PHP-nuke or whatever, Mambo is the best and sweetest CMS of all times. It is available here: http://www.aavictoria.org.au/ All add-ons for mambo here: http://www.mamboportal.com/ Check out my Mambo based site here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It is based on my own template

Uncle, I must tell you something about Nokia and Sony Ericsson. You may prefer a Sony Ericson anyday! You will never drop your Sony Ericsson!

Hey, mukund!Thank you for this excellent tip!I just did this configuration change and I can see the results...The pages are loading much faster.Come to think of it, I was not aware that so many configuration options are available for Firefox!! BTW, I visited your site and you have a nice layout on your site. Good collecton of news items too...Thank youGooglue!

Do you have a Sony Ericsson mobile phone? Then if you do not have this ONE software on your PC, you are not using your mobile phone effectively! SE without FloAt's Mobile Agent is like a computer without an operating system Check out their website for details. Connectivity between the phone and PC is by the three options: 1. Bluetooth 2. Infrared (IrDA) 3. Cable These are here listed in the order of speed with bluetooth being the fastest. I am using bluetooth for connectivity and I am very happy with the connection speed. I can save all SMS/MMS messages, pictures taken using teh camera and all settings/themes/games and others on my PC. This can be as a backup too! When I found out about this recently, I was amazed that it is not that popular so far! It deserves a mention at this forum! I did a search on "FloAt's Mobile Agent" and there was not even one result! It has changed the way I look at my SE T610 now!! In another post, I will write about a free online resource for SE phones. Googlue

Well, If they are really at it, it something that we all should look forward to! Google has revolutionized the industry wherever they stepped in.Who knows what they will bring into an operating system?With Google's privacy policy, even if security is at risk of being breached, I sincerely do not think that they will breach it.So far they haven't, so there is no need to become paranoid about it here.Operating systems need to be lean, fast and userfrindly. That is the motto of Google wherever they operate, in my opinion.So, I am looking forward to Google OS...Will certainly give it a try...

You can also go to http://yoursubdomainname.trap17.com/cpanel/ Then go to add on domains or parked domains wherever you set up the uni.cc domain and delete that entry. You are done!

Hahaha! So you had to look there to be sure? LOL!! Well, TripleX, welcome back to Xisto. You are in good company here

I must write this about AdBrite:1. Even though I opted for their 'good, clean ads' they showed an ad of a dating site that was using explicit language. I am concerned about that.2. They have not paid me the dues, even after crossing double of the minimum required amount for sending a check, this after a week of the last Thursday of the month!

Gmail anyday.Gmail loads faster. Easy to navigate and retrieve old mails.Most importantly, the feature of 'conversations' is unique and that is what like Gmail most for!

Sorry to tell this to you, but Google does not anymore depend on meta tags to index your pages. It only scans the content of the pages. And this is being followed for a long time!Certainly, it is no harm to have a meta tag too, but don't have high expectations. Nothing can beat good content.

My site www.medspan.info/ was included and indexed in about a week after I submitted using the 'google add url' page. When I searched with the query 'medspan', my site would be the third in the list.Due to some weird reasons, my site was not functioning for a few days, and googlebot probably tried indexing again. What happened was that it assumed that medspan.info does not exist anymore and took it off the search results! :DNow I have resubmitted the url, but it is not yet 'indexed', but included. It ranks somewhere between 6 and 9 in the search results, with the title 'Home - Medspan.info', but other pages are not shown.Hpe it does it soon, so that any page can be queried with search terms from google.

Exactly my opinion. I was impressed with Opera. I am dumbstruck with Firefox which I am using right now... I will certainly install and try IE & but am sure will not continue to use for long with my current opinion regarding IE... But I will try to be as non judgemental as possible when I try to use it... I hope I like it too... Googlue

I tried to access your cpanel home page. I do get a login pop up. Since I do not know your username password cannot login and se the page.Are you also getting this pop up? Or not even that?

He has been noticed to do so and OpaQue has already warned him. I have also increased his warning level.If he does not change his behavious now and get straight, he will be initially subjected to moderator preview of his every post. The last rsort would be to ban the user.All these should and will follow a time course and the clock has started ticking for this member...Hope he corrects himself.

Oh, I assumed you have already done all that. Here you go: You have set up DNS and not web forwarding, if you want it to behave like a full-fledged domain. If you are content with web forwarding, go ahead. Example of DNS setting: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (PS: I am still developing it, just for your preview of domain settings...) Note that all links start with googlue.uni.cc. Ths will not be the case with web forwarding. DNS setting is superior to web forwarding. However, this is what is posted on uni.cc's home page: So you can have these only if you registered before the said date. Assuming that you have, set up you DNS as in the picture below: Write here again if you have any queries Googlue!

You don't have to feel sorry. This is the Vent! The issue you have raised is like that. If this goes out of hand and the discussion turns personal or becomes in any way demeaning of any gender, race or nationality, it will be closed/deleted immediately as the case needs.
