I came across this while surfing CoolQuiz. Today In History September 5, 1980 Switzerland’s St. Gotthard Auto Tunnel, the longest underground motorway in the world, opened. Traffic moved along the 10+ miles that took ten years to build and cost $417 million. 10+ miles is very long, mind you.

Well, i think it's fair enough because Xisto is after all offering free hosting and it needs funding.

I've found something related: the new image format, PNG. PNG stands for the Portable Network Graphics format. It was designed to replace the older and simpler GIF format. I quote from their homepage:"For the Web, PNG really has three main advantages over GIF: alpha channels (variable transparency), gamma correction (cross-platform control of image brightness), and two-dimensional interlacing (a method of progressive display). PNG also compresses better than GIF in almost every case, but the difference is generally only around 5% to 25%, not a large enough factor to encourage folks to switch on that basis alone. One GIF feature that PNG does not try to reproduce is multiple-image support, especially animations; PNG was and is intended to be a single-image format only."I hardly use PNG images; do you?

Better still, dowload and use spyware/adware killer to prevent your browser and computer from being hijeacked or bombarded with ads. The leading application is Adaware which is free for personal use.

I wonder who created the logos? But I think it's a brilliant idea too, esecially when the olympics are still ongoing then. I've noticed that the log also changes accordingly to events and holidays liek Christmas day

I'll fill in the backup part: Backup This is where you can make a full backup of everything in your account, a home directory backup, and mySQL databases backups. Simply choose your option, and you'll be able to download a zipped file of your backup. Here, you can also restore the backup you've made in the case of you losing any data.

I was reading this article (https://news.slashdot.org/story/99/08/29/0722236/unisys-enforcing-gif-patents) and I didn't know that it is actually illegal to use GIF images! Apparently, the company that holds the patent for GIF was threatening to sue webmasters who use GIF images. But I think the patent has expired recently, not very sure about that. Interesting

Thanks for the info, my 233mhz, Pentium II com seriously needs some speed. But what does the editing the registry do? I don't want to screw up my computer

If I'm not wrong (I'm not very sure for this too), the mailing list is something like a bot that runs on the server. It has more to do with the mail server than anything else.Not very sure too, it something like Yahoo or MSN groups i think.Hope that helps

What exactly is mySQL? Is it a programming languauge like HTML, etc? I know that tables are very important in mySQL, and that the tables store all the data. But can you actually go about writing the code for a mySQL database?Thanks

I'm quite confused about programming languages. My friend told me that you can make web pages with C++, but I thought that there is only one programming langauge for web pages: HTML? I know that languages like C++ are using for writing programs, but can they be used too for web pages?

You mean there are software like Frontpage that specially cater to PHP? Wow, i didn't know that. Are such editors the same as Frontpage for editing PHP as FP is for HTML? Are there editors for CSS, JS, etc?

I use IE 5.0, but I've tried Mozilla. There were a lot of reviews saying that Mozilla is much faster, but when I tried it out, it was pretty slow. Is it because of I having 2 browsers installed on my computer?Mozilla is good, it allows me to access some sites that IE doesn't, like Paypal
