I my average transfer rate with other hosts have been about 50-60kb/s, I was uploading to asta at about 10-20kb/s. Thats about 3 times slower.I now use CORE FTP and my uploads have been over 35kb/s now. It may or may not have been my FTP but just a Xisto FTP problem but I do get a little fast uploads through using CORE.

Yeah the Arachnophilia 5.1 has undergone a major change at version 5 and is now written in Java so can be run on any platform. If you havn't already got it, you need to download the version 1.4 or higher Java runtime package from Sun, a major job as it is over 10 Mbytes and the program itself which is much more modest at under 2 Mbytes. You may already have a suitable Java or be able to get it off a cover disk. So far the program seems more flexible but less powerful but I am sure it will grow rapidly. The tag colouring and beautification is still there but the site analysis tools which check for link integrity throughout the site and page layout and analysis tools to do check tag matching and overlapping etc on the page are missing. The browser support is for via a separate window rather than an internal display which allows you to check with many browsers but is less convenient in some ways. The global search and replace through many pages is however even more powerful and well thought out. I like the Arach version 4 and this the program I have given to a few of my students to use and explore. They have been coming back with great reviews, but they all understand that there are more complex programs out there. But with the ease of use, this is a good basic program to get you really going in the right direction. But I believe it is always good to learn the HTML basics at sites such as W3Schools. REMEMBER that Arachnophilia is a CAREWARE...It does not cost money it requires a different form of payment. It is best to go to the site and read about the CareWare concept yourself but to give an idea I quote an example of a deal suggested by the author if you wish to obtain Arachnophilia: Stop whining for an hour, a day, a week, your choice, and you will have earned your copy of Arachnophilia. Say encouraging words to young people, make them feel welcome on the planet Earth (many do not). Show by example that we don't need all we have in order to be happy and productive. blix, I love the visicommedia website. I have never used their software, but you have sparked my interest to see what type of interface and scripts they have implemented in to their AceHTML software. The prices seem a bit high, but I can't judge for sure how overpriced it is until I use it. I will try it out later today and give an honest review.VG

Google is by far the best search engine out there. I can count hundreds of reasons why I choose google over and other main search engine. I just wish I could get my darn webpage from the 2nd page to the 1st on google. I have it 1st page on Yahoo but not Google.

No.. that doesn't make sense. VG

Huh? The Catholic church IS one of the Christian denominations. It would be correct to recognize perhaps four main "branches" of Christianity depending on how you want to group them. The first would be Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox. Some like to group these two together as a single group of related religions. I will call them separate. The next group includes the Protestant churches. These would be those denominations that split away from other churches in protest of things that they saw as wrong in those other religions. Though these churches do have various points on which they disagree, they also tend to have many similar doctrines and practices that come from there related origins. The Lutheran, Methodist, and Anglican churches would be examples of Protestant religions. The next group I will call the Restorationist churches. Unlike the Protestant religions, these churches did not break away from other churches. Nor do they necessarily share a significant body of beliefs beyond the absolute most basic of Christian doctrines. The only thing that relates them is that they all claim that the traditional Christian religions had all gone astray and therefore, did not have the authority act in Gods name. Therefore, the only solution was for God to call a new prophet or prophets with whom He could directly communicate and restore truths lost, correct error that that had crept into Christianity, and/or restore his authority. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Seventh-day Adventists are examples of members of this group. Finally, I will add the Baptists. Personally, I am inclined to call them another Protestant denomination. So, depending on just how you want to group them, we have 3 to 5 major divisions of Christianity. Only the Protestants can really be said to trace their origins back to the Roman Catholic Church. The rest claim to have origins that are independent of any connection to the Catholic Church. The fact of the matter is that each of our religions are branches of the larger group of religions that are collectively know as Christianity. Which one of us is the trunk, the one and only true religion, is a matter that we can debate ad nausium. However, that is outside of the scope of the question and in no way invalidates my answer. VG

Some excellent tips there! One tip you didn't mention is something you should do when you are not sitting in front of the computer. WORK OUT! Working out for at least 4 times a week for just 20mins or so and get rid of those aches and pains. Also, try stretching for about 10 mins before going on the computer. This will loosen the muscles and keep them from tightening up. You mentioned taking frequent breaks. At the webdesign company that I own, we have 9 team members who I allow a 10 minute break every hour. You will be suprised at the amount of work they succeed in getting done. It also gets their creative juices going. How many times have you thought of your best ideas when you are not sat at your computer desk?? Many of the worlds largest, powerful and most famous inventions were invented by individuals while on a lunch break, vacation and other relaxing activities. I do pay them for the 10 mins they are not at the computer. I believe this is the way you should treat your staff/team members, it is a much better environment when everyone is relaxed, well rested and happy. Sorry for going of topic, VG

I completly agree with you rapco.. I would never do such a thing... j/k VG

I think you should change the <title> tags and add some color and graphics. Its a start anway, at least you have a little bit of content.VG

I have been playing my skin flute for the last 7 years or so and lately I have been training a few girls how to play the blue vained piccolo

Your saying a Nuke bomb is less powerfull than the human/creator? Thats BS! We will kill everyone on this planet if we continue to build and allow these machines and robotic creations to work and fight for us because we are too lazy to work and fight ourselves. VG

IPB has those, but you have to pay for them.They are well scripted and I have been using them for a while.My 2 cents..VG

Google uses networked storage but in the form of networked clusters of Linux servers, which are cheap x86 servers with one or two internal drives.A cluster will consist of several hundred, even thousands of machines, each with their internal disk. At the last Google public count, in April 2003, there were 15,000 plus such machines with 80GB drives. Lets say 16,000 machines with 1.5 disk drives, 120MB, per machine. That totals up to 1.84TB. In fact Google probably has between two and five petabytes altogether, if we add in duplicated systems, test systems and news systems and Froogle systems and so forth.VG

The best way to get on Google is to trade links with other sites that are share similar interest to what your site is about.When the spider visits their site, the bot will follow the link to your site and BAM, your listed.This is only 1% of SEO, though.If you need to know how to succeed in staying on first page for various well searched keyword, start another topic and I will answer and questions you may have.G' LuckVG

spickid101, just out of interest...What was your search query that resulted in this porn site?VG

Google has been my homepage address for a long time. The page loads quick unlike many sites that include search engines. The results are fast and the links are clean and navigation through the results in superb.Google is easily the best search engine out there!VG
