  1. Just sends all form data to a specified email. Does anyone know a free script that does this?
  2. I actually had some problems finding this thread. Anyway, the replies are replied to in descending order. You could have just said that in one sentence. Well, seems like your only problem with Opera is the ads. You -can- get rid of that by editing its config files, but I recommend Proxomitron or Proxify, etc. Most actually say Opera is harder, etc, because it's easy to get confused with the wide variety of functions available. But I agree with you. Intrusive? Define that. P.S:Opera doesn't give you ads in full screen mode. Oh those things are wonderful, but they are not half of what Opera can do. And it's most likely the sites' fault, not Opera's. Do you know some sites actually send faulty code to Opera once they knew it was Opera? It's in the javascript, I would dig up the article/blog, but I'm lazy. Well, the other points are silly. OMG OPERA DOESN'T SCROLL SMOOTHLY. Memory? I never really notice it on a new comp. But it does seem to be a concern.
  3. Another browser topic... I am so original. Anyway, this is mainly directed to the firefox folks. Why do you think Opera is "weird"? As far as I can see, Opera has several times FF's features and is several times smaller. And please don't bring up how it's not open source blah blah blah. That reason's too overused, and I think it's too little a reason to stop using this wonderful browser. Notice from microscopic^earthling: Moved to Software > Internet & Network Clients
  4. "The Off By One Web Browser may be the world's smallest and fastest web browser with full HTML 3.2 support. It is a completely self-contained, stand-alone 1.2 MB application with no dependencies on any other browser or browser component. For Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP."Anyway, it's not the smallest. Opera is the best browser ever, and much tinier than Firefox with MUCH MORE features. But if the barebones is what you want--http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  5. Y'know, you're right. Look at this article instead. And it's funny. And I didn't copy it this time.
  6. Wayy cool. edit by qwijibow: In future, put all quaotes in quote tags instead of just " ". it sounds trivial, but it helps the system better calculate the credit you should recieve for a post.
  7. "FAQs about Internet2ÂŽ What is Internet2? Internet2ÂŽ is a not-for-profit consortium, led by over 200 US universities, developing and deploying advanced network applications and technology, accelerating the creation of tomorrow's Internet. With participation by over 60 leading companies, Internet2 recreates the partnership of academia, industry and government that helped foster today's Internet in its infancy. [top] Is Internet2 a separate network? Will Internet2 replace the current commercial Internet? Internet2 is not a separate physical network and will not replace the Internet. Internet2 brings together institutions and resources from academia, industry and government to develop new technologies and capabilities that can then be deployed in the global Internet. Close collaboration with Internet2 corporate members will ensure that new applications and technologies are rapidly deployed throughout the Internet. Just as email and the World Wide Web are legacies of earlier investments in academic and federal research networks, the legacy of Internet2 will be to expand the possibilities of the broader Internet.[top] How will Internet2 benefit current Internet users? Internet2 and its members are developing and testing new technologies, such as IPv6, multicasting and quality of service (QoS) that will enable revolutionary Internet applications. However, these applications require performance not possible on today's Internet. More than a faster Web or email, these new technologies will enable completely new applications such as digital libraries, virtual laboratories, distance-independent learning and tele-immersion. A primary goal of Internet2 is to ensure the transfer of new network technology and applications to the broader education and networking communities.[top] What kind of technology will be needed to use the advanced Internet applications and technologies? We expect the capabilities needed to use new technologies and applications being tested and developed by Internet2 and its members to be built into upcoming generations of commercial products. Internet2 corporate partners are working closely with the Internet2 community to expand the capabilities of their products and services as well as the global Internet. For example, just as most personal computers sold today include the ability to use the Internet, tomorrow's commercial products will include the ability to use advanced networking capabilities.[top] Does Internet2 have publicly traded stock? Internet2 is a not-for-profit research and development consortium and does not have publicly traded stock.[top] What is the relationship between the Next Generation Internet (NGI) Internet2, and other advanced networking initiatives? The university-led Internet2 and the federally-led NGI are parallel and complementary initiatives based in the United States. Internet2 and NGI are already working together in many areas. For example, through participation in a NSF NGI program, over 150 Internet2 universities have received competitively awarded grants to support connections to advanced backbone networks such as Abilene and the very high performance Backbone Network Service (vBNS). Internet2 is also forming partnerships with similar advanced networking initiatives around the world. Working together will help ensure a cohesive and interoperable advanced networking infrastructure for research and education, and the continued interoperability of the global Internet.[top] Why are universities taking the lead in Internet2? University research and education missions increasingly require the collaboration of personnel and hardware located at campuses throughout the country in ways not possible over today's Internet. Moreover, universities are a principal source of both the demand for advanced networking technologies and the talent needed to implement them. Researchers, instructors and students at Internet2 universities are able to explore capabilities beyond today's Internet as they teach and learn and conduct science in disciplines ranging from the fine arts to physics. [top] How much is being invested in Internet2 and where is the money coming from? Internet2 members have committed to actively collaborate in the development of advanced networking technologies and applications. For Internet2 universities, this means providing high-performance networking on their campuses--investing to upgrade their campus networks and connecting to a national Internet2 backbone network. For Internet2 corporate partners, this means actively collaborating with Internet2 universities and in Internet2 initiatives. Internet2 universities have committed over $80 million per year in new investments on their own campuses and corporate members have committed more than $30 million over the life of the project. In addition, Internet2 member institutions may receive funding in the form of competitively awarded grants from the NSF and other federal agencies participating in the federal Next Generation Internet initiative.[top] What about educational institutions that are not Internet2 members? Participation in Internet2 is open to any university that commits to providing on-campus facilities that will allow advanced applications development. The investment this requires may be more than many institutions can manage right now. However, Internet2 also supports collaboration by Internet2 universities with non-member institutions. Fifteen years ago, connecting to the Internet could be as expensive as participating in Internet2 today. As the technology dropped in price, the entire academic community benefited from the efforts of the initial research participants. Deployment of Internet2 technology will follow a similar pattern.[top] What are some of Internet2's long-term goals? A key goal of this effort is to accelerate the diffusion of advanced Internet technology, in particular into the commercial sector. In this way, Internet2 will help to sustain United States leadership in internetworking technology. Internet2 will benefit non-university members of the educational community as well, especially K-12 and public libraries. Internet2 and its members aim to share their expertise with as wide a range of computer users as possible. This approach characterized the first Internet and it can work again today. [top]" Here is the FAQ. Dug up by a SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH. Where I stole it from.
  8. By copying and messing with others' source codes and reading HTML for Dummies.
  9. Gawd. Stop talking as if Linux is a OS. There are hundreds of distros! Haven't you ever heard of Games Knoppix?
  10. Click on my signature and never have a problem again!Seriously. If you aren't a complete newbie/idiot, Opera does it.
  11. The below list was shamelessly stolen from here. You can just Google for links or go back to the original site. Free DNS Services and DNS Servers The Public DNS Service This is one of the oldest and longest running free DNS services providing 2 name servers for your website. If you need a name server or two for your site, and don't wish to use your web host's name servers or pay for commercial DNS services, try this one. Managing your domain records require some expertise though, since they do not provide you an easy interface like some of the other free and commercial DNS servers. However, you really get to control nearly every aspect of your domain records. You can add A records, CNAME records, MX records and nearly everything else that can go into the name server records for your domain You can have unlimited number of domains here. Note: they rely on donor hardware and connectivity for their name servers. Mydomain and MyDNS Domain Name Services They provide free DNS services for your domain name, free email forwarding, free URL redirection for your domain (with or without cloaking/stealth, with path forwarding), free parking, the ability to change your MX records, A records, SOA records, etc. Hammernode Static and Dynamic DNS They provide free static and dynamic DNS services, as well as web redirection for your website. You can use the static DNS (virtual DNS mapping) on your own domain name. For dynamic DNS purposes, you will be given a subdomain name like yourname.hn.org. If you like, you can also configure URLs like http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ to point to your existing website. PowerDNS Express The express version of their service appears to be free. There is little information about the services they provide, but presumably at minimum it allows you to point your domain name at a static IP address. EveryDNS EveryDNS provides static DNS services, dynamic DNS resolution, redirection of your domain name to an existing URL, etc. Although the service is free, they solicit donations to support their services. DYNU Dynamic DNS Service This dynamic DNS service will allow you to host your own website, FTP, email, telnet, chat server on your own machine. You get a subdomain name (yourname.dynu.com) and a small program which will inform the DNS server whenever you're online as to which IP address you're at. CJB Dynamic DNS and Web Redirection This was originally a free web redirection (offering URL redirection) service that has extended its service to provide dynamic DNS. Your subdomain name, whatever.cjb.net (in fact, *.whatever.cjb.net) will be directed to your website when it is online. The only problem with this service is its sluggishness and the frequent downtime. 24LINK Dynamic DNS Most of the other dynamic DNS providers listed on this page allow you to change your dynamic IP address by either using a small utility that connects to their servers and updates your IP address, or requiring you to update your IP address manually. 24LINK provides you with a free web server which you can download and install on your computer. The web server will automatically update their records to point to your current IP address when you go online. You get an address like http://www.joinus.net/ for your website. There are no ads on your site. Yi.org Dynamic DNS and Web Redirection Want dynamic DNS or web redirection? You get subdomains like yourname.whyi.org, yourname.yi.org, yourname.weedns.org, yourname.b0b.com which you can point to any IP address you like, and a URL (eg, yi.org/yourname/) which you can redirect to any URL. DYNS Dynamic DNS Service If you run a web server that has an ever changing IP address (such as one that is "live" only when you are online through an ISP that issues you a dynamic IP address), you'll like this free service. They provide you a hostname (as a subdomain of dyns.cx), which can point to an IP address that you can change through a program running on your computer. The other services provided by them include dynamic DNS for multiple hostnames pointing at the same IP address (eg, ftp.yourname.dyns.cx, http://www.dyns.cx/, *.yourname.dyns.cx); web redirection, etc. DynDNS You can get up to 5 subdomain names like yourname.dyndns.org which you can redirect to either a static or dynamic IP address. Alternatively, they also provide URL or web redirection where you can get hostnames (subdomains of domain names like doesntexist.org, webhop.net, webhop.org, etc) that are redirected to your actual URL. I'm not sure if there are any advertisements imposed on your site when you use their web redirection service. ZoneEdit ZoneEdit allows you to get free DNS services for 5 domains, provided your domains do not get a lot of traffic (according to their FAQ, "a lot" means something like a million hits per year or 200MB worth of traffic per domain; note this is 200MB worth of DNS queries, not the bandwidth used by your web pages). You can also forward your email, park your domains, and run websites on your own computer with their dynamic DNS services. No-IP Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for your Dynamic IP No-IP offers you Dynamic DNS so that you can run your websites from your own computer. They also provide you with a short hostnames (like yourname.hopto.org) that you can redirect to your existing website, ie, URL redirection. They also redirect email sent to you@yoursite.no-ip.com to up to three email servers/addresses of your choosing. DNS Made Easy If you use the domains provided by them (ie, subdomains of domains like wwwcrazy.com, jobsearchus.com, likethathouse.com, thewwwinternet.com, freedns.us, etc) you can get free dynamic or static DNS services for your website. For example, if you get a subdomain like yourname.jobsearchus.com (or whatever), you can set up the DNS for that hostname to point to your dynamic or static IP address.
  12. First of all, which Linux? There are hundreds of distros.Second, anything you can get from your dad, you can get from the Internet. Third, MACS ARE PRETTY. BLASPHEMY!
  13. Wanna find shiznit, ya beotches? "Frosty The Snowman Frosty tha snowman, was a J-O-Double-Lizzy stoked soul, witta corncob pizzle n a button nose, n two eyes made of coal. frosty tha snowman, is a fairizzles tizzle say. he was mizzle of snow, but tha children kizzle he came ta life one day. there miznust have bizzy some magic in tizzy old silk they found, for W-H-to-tha-izzen they placed it on his heezee, he began ta dance around! oh, frosty, tha snowman, was a live as he could be; ans tha children say he could laugh n play, just tha same as you n me. thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, look at frosty go." OMG. I LOVE GIZOOGLE. Pleaze dizzy H-to-tha-izzurt thizzay wit yo almighty lawya, Google. Translation: Please don't hurt them with your almighty lawyers, Google. Here is another bit: "From The Bible In tha perpetratin' God created tha heaven n tha earth. And tha earth was witout form, n void; n darkness was upon tha face of tha deep ya feelin' me?. And tha Spirit of God moved upon tha face of tha wata. And God said, "Let there be light . Keep the party crackin while I'm steady rappin'": n there was light.

  14. You really should have followed the first part of my advice: add an OTHER. Even though the list is long enough to satisfy any average user, my personal favorites include Hikarunix and Dynebolic. Now where could they be?
  15. Xandros was absolutely a breeze. Ubuntu actually sends you their CDs (installation and live) for FREE. WOW. SuSE wasn't too amazing. I recommend against Debian and Gentoo. You can always try the live cds and emulators, too. Check Google for "DSL Qemu".
  16. I'd hate to see you reacting to some darker things if you freaked with that little surveillance.
  17. NO. I will NEVER survive with TIMED SINGLE CLICKS in Debian! OR imagine pressing Ctrl + click!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Please don't do this, almighty Gates.
  18. There is a pile of gray junk beside the XP PC in the library. I didn't realize what it was until one day, I bumped it and it gave out a logo music. A Mac has turned on.Eww.
  19. "Opera Beta 8 continues to innovate Internet browsing Internet Browsers have been hogging the news since quiet sometime courtesy Mozilla Firefox. However, there is another browser, which has been continuing to innovate and raise the standards since many years. Opera today officially released the much awaited preview of their latest offering in the form of Opera 8 Beta 1. This version will not bring many changes for users on Opera 7.60 series but for those who try it after sometime would be amazed by the changes and latest features. For starters, it comes with a brand new interface, which is simplified compared to earlier offerings. Most of the advanced features are now hidden from the front view and can be activated if desired. Opera reaches new levels of usability with this version as it incorporates latest innovations like Fit-to-Window-Width, Fit-to-Paper-Width, improved RSS handling, and Start Bar. It also for the first time brings Voice functionality to the web browsers. Opera can now take voice commands and can read back webpages. In the future, this technology would be enhanced to handle Web sites offering interactive, voice-enabled shopping and booking systems. Moreover, Opera users can now check for any existing updates from the interface itself. This version was under development in the form of preview releases of version 7.60. However, as per the official press release, the company found the browser to have reached a stage with so many improvements that they decided to release it in the next logical version number. Though the company is yet to announce the official name they would give to Opera 8 Browser Beta when it would be finally released. One of the most exciting news that would make all the current Opera’s registered users happy is that they have decided to make Opera 8 release free for all Opera 7 owners. In addition, they have changed their licensing and now a registered owner can use one key for all the desktop versions of Opera! Overall, Opera Software ASA seems to be in festive mood for this Christmas and have given a beautiful gift to their loyal users who have supported them in their quest of creating the best and the fastest web browser on the Internet." Get Opera here. Only 7.6+ versions support voice, though. And I took the article from here.
  20. Well, looking at all the GIMP recommendations, I feel that it is compulsory to add some more... Dogwaffle--Paint on the computer the same way you paint on a canvas, with oil! Really FUN to use. Pixia--Japanese graphic freeware. Wonderful photoretouch and design. Wings 3D--Wings 3D is a subdivision modeler inspired by Nendo and Mirai from Izware.

    Rip Microsoft?

    "The health of established firms, especially great ones, is more difficult to diagnose. The balance sheet can give some clues, but, because it captures the recent past rather than the near future, it can fool you. Most veteran reporters look at more subtle clues, like the comings and goings of key employees, slippage in the release dates of new products (or missing features), and subtle shifts in the tone of company news releases, advertisements and executive speeches. But most of all, at least for me, there is the smell test: the faintest whiff of decay that comes from dying companies." Here is the original article.
  22. But please, PLEASE, don't make the text color some ugly white on black or similar. Light blue may not be catchy, but at least it doesn't burn.
