Windows....It started of its life as a cheap and quick hack of an OS for home computers.....and it was.... well it wasnt brilliant, buy you get what you pay for....then the price rose and rose and rose.... and now its an expensive cheap hack of an OS.

t seems this site (or maybe just this forum) seems to often go down with either "mySQL" error's or simply juust stops reponding...am i the only one experiancing this downtime ?are the servers that host the websites the same as the ones that serve this forum ?or are they more stable ?

Lol.. im using Linux :)you can re-compile any Linux Distro, but Gentoo (https://www.gentoo.org/) is especially geared towards home compiling.just make sure you set CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=athlon -mcpu=athlon"(or -O3 instead of -O2 fif you are feeling dareing and your machine is in perfect condition)replacing athlon with the name of your processor.... athlon-tbird athlon-xp pentium pentium-xpthat type of thing.But the best speed boos will prbably come from re-compiling the latest source code...http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ the latest kenrel, and after you unzip it...make menuconfigmake bzImagemake modulesmake modules installmake install

USE THE GIMP.... (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) https://www.gimp.org/ proffesional, powerfull, and best of all FREE.

Yes ! i posted a minni tutorial on the site ! basically you need to update to the latest version of Xorg, and tweak the config file. http://forums.xisto.com/topic/448-topic/?showtopic=448 it reeealy is an amasing feature ! looks great !

the words used by a windows beta terster describing longhorn's winFS capabilities were that MS was going to "serverely scale back winFS" although some winFS code will be in longhorn, the feature will not be activated. ive Used a Linux implementation of WinFS... and i was not very impressed ! didnt like haveing to write down keywords and short descriptions when i saved files... ii prefere just so save-AS ad give it a file name,... Someone was talking about OpenGL and Direct3D... these are both Graphics Libraries.... its Just that OpenGL is portable, and DirectX is not. The End result ot these graphics libraries are very similar to the end user, but very different from the developers view.. Ut2004 for Windows used DIrect3D but the Linux Version used OpenGL.. hand up who could tell the difference.

take your keyboard apart and clean the contacts on that key with soap and water.or maybe the contact just fell out of place.

its a bit early to be planning ! your going to have to wait anouther couple of years ! Longhorn WAS going to be a big change ! there was a great new filesystem called WinFS. what winFS was going to do, was chnage the way you use your Home directory, instead of seperating you files in a hierachy.. for example.. $HOME/music/ $HOME/music/Rock $HOME/music/classical $HOME/work $HOME/work/Project1 $HOME/work/Project1/documentA $HOME/work/Project1/documentB $HOME/work/Project2 all files would be saved in one place, and you would open files based on a database system. the advantages... would be that instead of giving a file name... you could open a media player, then tell it to play Music Files, with Keywors Relaxing... and the media player would open all music that you told it you find relaxing. or you could open MS Office, and instead of a file name, tell it to open the project you were working on yesterday. However the Critics said Ms had set the bar too high... they were right. Longhorn will NOT be shipped with WinFS.. however they are still planning to add winFS as a service pack maybe in 2012 (from memory) Also, they are completely replacing DirectX. i believe it will be called Avalon, and all graphics wether it be the desktop windows, or 3D games will use Avalon.... im not sure what this emans for my beloved OpenGL... but i do know it will be in favor of MS is OpenGL was done away with... (currently, OpenGL games are quite easy to port to MacOSX / Linux / Unix.. if all games were only Avalon / DirectX capable, then ms would have an added advantage on the Games market) Basically..... in my opinion... Longhorn will look and feel and have all the same features as XP... But for developers, there will be Huge changes... Death of the .NET framework..... (or a big upgrade) i don know if the new API sets will be any easyer, but i have heard developers are not looking forward to MS making all there knoledge on the old API sets opsolite.

Yeah... Firefox got a great Kick in populariity when slashdot reported that many security advisors switched there advice from keeping the firewall on, and keep automatic update on, and all the usual to Stop using IE, and download and use firefox... There was a quote of one systems admin putting stickers on all montors saying "Dont Touch the Blue E" which got passed around alot, and even made the subject of a few a wallpapers on kde-look.org. i actually find all this quite funny !!! a good example of irony ! a long time ago, there was the broser wars... MSIE vs Netscape Navigator... and Just like the Old VHS vs BETAMAX, the superior product lost the war... in the VHS case, i dont know why, im too young... but with the browsers, it all ended for Netscape when MS started integrating IE into Widnows... anyways.. in the death throws of Netscape, it relased its source code as open source, and began the development of a few open source browsers... Years later.... Netscapes great great granddaughter.... firefox, is back with avengence and kicking *bottom* ! they should make a spoof movie about it ! no.. I SHOULD make a spoof flash animation about it ! somthing like DIE HARD ! or well.. i dunno.. surgestons ?

Sometimes, pages on my site have been known to apeare on B3ta.com's front page and newsletters... (once it was on there for a whole month)and while im bosting.... i know a guy who knows Weeble.... and im told he loves the video's on my site. !anyways.....lets say the webpage in question is 300kb... and it is on the frontpage of b3ta.com for a month... or maybe slashdot for a few minutes...How will my free account (when i request it) stand up to this kind of abuse ?any predictions ?

This is the way i understand it....any version number below version 1.0 is an unfinished project....for example firefox 0.9, great, but the creators still want to do more work before they announce it as "finished"after that, its generally uncreace the first number for Major changes... the first number after the decimal for minor changes.. and yet anouther decimal and number for minor bug fixes and tweaks...for example version 2.4.26 might have the same functionality of 2.4.25 but with a bug fix, or performance tweak.there are also other versioning than some people use... for example 1.0-rc1 1.0-rc2 1.0-rc3 where RC stands for release candidate.... which is a bit like a Beta releace.and the Linux Kenrnel untill very recently (and a few other projects) used to use odd and even numbers to indicate stable or testing releases,,, for example..Stable Release ||| Testing Release2.2.X ||| 2.1.X2.4.X ||| 2.3.X2.6.X ||| 2.5.Xbut itn the end its pretty much up to you...The latest stable releace of Java is 1.4.. however the next version is going to be version 5.0no reas reason..and i have no idea why they do this.if i had to guess, id say its because Java vresion 5 sounds better than Java version 2 ?who knows.... whatever it is its confusing !

its not an application..... its a 74 page on how to hit your hard drive ! first page... doesnt fill me with confidence. a while ago i accidently formated a hard drive with semi important data on it. i started searching the web for tools on how to retrieve text files from formated disks. (for reasons ill not go into, formatting / deleting a file doesnt actually depete the data, just the link to it) anyways, i was looking for a retrival program, but found loads of advice like this. the problem was, that it seems to be for very old hard disks.. (you know... the ones that you are not meant to turn off !) and from they usually used names of very old equipment... like UNIX 2, and i386. i can See how Freesing a hard disk may solve problems like dry solder joints. (electricians terminology) but this brings into question other things like the Greace used in the bearings.... when greace gets reeeealy cold it goes stiff (or more viscous.. (spelling ?)) also, even in a plastic bag, unless the disk was put into the plastic bag in a comlpete vacuume, there is bound to be some condensation !!! ALSO... as soon as you take the disk out of the bag and into the machine, then the humid aid is going to condense on the hard disk. has any1 attempted this ? i would strongly advise againsed the freezing or hitting parts of this guide.... (but the other section on bios settings and jumper re-adjusting could be suefull)

There is a Hige Link for advertisments...looks like they use you as targets for advertisements... do you use the account ? how many advrtisements are you sibjected to ? it looks good, but it doesnt have the other advantages of Gmail like GmailFS the thing i like about gmail is the no frills simplicity. Loads fast, even on 56k dial up users. if it wasnt for my ISP POP account being discoverd by spammers i would still prefere that account. im paying for it, might aswell use it.

Interesting....i have a question id like to add..... I used a similar method you descripbe to generate an animated Flash (.swf) media file from jpeg's (see http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) anyways... im trying to add sound ! but cannot work out how ! ive generated a flash sound file, but i connot work out how to merge the video and the audio into one flash file. pleas enote im using the Free flash tools on sourceforge, not the official comercial version. thanks.

Im getting Gmail invites faster than i can give them away... as are most gmail users i think.most online forums have a htread dedicated to giving away gmail invites.ask and thou shal recieve.

i would LOVE to find a webserver that supports RSYNC aswel as FTP.infact, im surprised RSYNC isnt used at all ! okay... there IS a drawback ! RSYNC does use more processor power on the server tha FTP, but for the customers, its a life saver.. basically... lets say you have your website, there is one uploaded to your webserver, and one on your local machine that you work on / update. after working on your site, withthe current method, you have to find all the files you added or made changes to, and upload them individually.. but with rsync, you just set it running on your website directory, it automatically work oout what needs to be uploaded, and what doesnt. for big webpages / projects its PRICELESS !

lol... speed is important to me too.. so i went overkill ! the problem with XP is its onl one Operating System. and there are many many different processors in use by home users... AMD K6 / Athlon / Duron / Athlon XP / Athlon-Tbird / Pentium 3 / Pentium 4 / Pentium XP Some have HT (hyper threading) some dont. and So windows is Compiled with Optimisations that allow it to run as best as possible on every porcessor. However... there are better processor optimisations.. BUT, if for example you Optimised a program fully for an AMD Athlon-Tbird then it would run lighting fast on that porcessor, but it wouldn't work at all on a Duron, or pentium ! like i said, i went Overkill... i Re-compiled my Whole Operating System for my Athlon Processor. i used the veery highest optimisation flags, so most of the programs on my computer will work on a pentium computer. and i have to say, you can definatly tell the difference. dont get me wrong, OPtimisation is not the only thing that affects performace, but it does help.. alot !

I have a dual boot machine.... Linux for me, WIndows for the family.i use IE when im performaing the usual maintenence on XP, but i dont like it. its not so much the security, its the adware... osmehow, 5 diffeerent pieces of adware have atached themselves to IE ! ive got the normal URL bar, then a google Search Bar, a Yahoo Search Bar... a Bargin Summthing Search Bar ! its mad ! a while ago i needed to un-bluck popups... so i turned it off in IE... but still the site wasnt working... i eventoually found out each searchbar had its own as blocker ! also... i just cant work without tabbed broswing... im always using several sites at once.. and having serveral Ie's running at once just grinds the system to a hault... not to menton the clutter factor.

if you WANT a static IP well, you cant always have one... but the best substitute is DynDNS.orgSign up for a Free account, and download there Client software (and yes ! they even have a windows version !) The freee software grabs your IP on bootup, and sends it to your DynDNS account.you then choose a Domain Name... they have LOODS of great choises of free SubDomains..But there not the usual sub-Domains that have the company name in...for example....ANYTHING.homelinux.net or (.com or .org)ANYTHING.homeunix.net or (.com or .org)ANYTHING.gameserver.netANYTHING.gotdns.netANYTHING..... well goto there site for a full lst, there are LOOADS !I found this site just after signing up here... so untill i get 50 posts... im using my Own computer to Host my website !!!!!!FREE HOSTING.... UNLIMITED STOREAGE ! UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH !!!if you have a fastish internet connection, setting up your own web server is eeeeeeeeasy !however i would recomend using Linux.....my Intrusion Detection programs are logging quite a lot of Windows Specific Hack / Exploit attempts.i dont have any windows machines on my network... but i log the attempts just out of interest (and so i can mail the logs to the would be hackers ISP's)

There are some Great Open Source Free alternativs to Triliian....Gaim and Kopete are great multi-protocal chat clients that support all the usual MSN YAHOO ICQ JABBER IRC and a load more ive never heard of... Gaim is available at gaim.sourceforge.net.. its FREE, and OPEN SOURCE... source code, and pre-compiled versions exist for download for Windows and Linux. Kopete is a much better client in my opinion, and comes as part of the KDE-Network package from Kde.org (only available for Every operating system except windows ) Firefox is also my Favorite Web Browser.... Also Thunderbird for email CLient. I Hear that Firefox is Growing in use and popularity even faster than Microsotfs IE is being droped.

Well,, its not a very Fair Comparason. You compare Compiling the software yourself in linux, to using an install Wizzard in WIndows.... If you Compare using an "install wizzard" in linux to compiling your own software in windows, then the results would be LINUX is easyer... you HAVE to make fair comparasons... For example, why not compare Windows Install Wizzards againsed Emerge (Gentoo's install "wizzard") ANywaw, like you said, you are fully locked into microsoft, your grown to depend on it (which is what every ocmpany wants or its customers) Its Like Me Telliing you that french IS a BETTER language... even if i proved fresnch is better, you would still prefere english as you already speak it. Just like for me... Ive have 2 different computers... ive tried windows95, windows98 windows 2000 and even windows XP.. and i cant get any of them to work preperly ! which is to be expected, im a linux user ! i need to be in controll of my system.

to be honest i think this was just a shamless atempts at free hosting rather than actual tutorial...i just tried to salvage it by actually converting the messs into real C++ code. maybe it will now be slightly usefull to some1 ? as for an explaanation.... well... it just prints out a year calender... if naything its just a creative program that gives examples on how to use simple if structures.

Longhorn is the Next Version....if there is a planned "Reloaded" then i cant see it being anything more than a Servie Pack made to look different.Lets Face it... Longhorn as fallen through and been "exposed" as market freezing vapour-ware.
