Is the original going to be in black and white, or is that just an artefact? If it's really in black and white, I can already see a minor glitch: I can't manage to make out one letter of the URL in the corner because of a contrast problem.As to the general design, it depends among other things on the style of the music, and since I can't make out the URL, I can't easily check that out.Also, the contrast between the background image and the overlaid print might be a little two strong. And wouldn't it be better if all of the band names were in the same type style, and if there were more coordination among the font sizes?

I have changed my email address with several domains registered through GoDaddy, and never had any problems. They use their own customer numbers or usernames as the main identifier. One thing one should be careful of, though, is not using an email address on that same domain with a domain registration. In other words, if you're registering example.net as your domain, don't use priscilla@example.net as your contact address. If you do, and you have some problem with the domain later, you may find it difficult to communicate with the registrar, or to convince the powers that be that you're really you. Similarly, when submitting a site to a major directory like DMOZ, it might be better not to give an email address in the same domain. If there's a problem with your domain or URL, and they try to communicate with you to save your listing, they may find it impossible if your email address is on a non-functioning domain. Also, it's good to keep a list of important places, such as one's domain registrar, to whom one has given each email address. That way, if you ever have to abandon that email address, it will be easy to keep one's important contacts up-to-date.

Here are two I forgot: Webcow: Simplifies downloads of large numbers of files from links on a page. The interface is a little clunky and takes some learning, but I do find it useful. Scanner: Clearly displays how your disk space is being used. Very Windows friendly: doesn't need to be installed. Just put it somewhere and run it. He's also got some other interesting freeware there.

People here might want to read this short article. It compares Google's mapping efforts with distantly related ones by Microsoft and A9, owned by Amazon.

Domain names are part of the public DNS system, run by an (officially) international and independent body called ICANN. The main purpose of the DNS system is to allow one to use words instead of the numbers of an IP address to find a website, or any other "host" on the Internet. It is much easier to type "yahoo" into the address bar of your browser, and have the browser to convert it to "http://yahoo.com/;, which DNS will then convert to an IP address, than to type in "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; . In addition, the use of a name allows the site owner to quickly and transparently change to a different server or network if there are technical problems with one. The DNS system is hierarchical. In general, except for the name of the protocol at the beginning, you read a URL from the right. Take http://www.broker-reviews.us/index.shtml or http://broker-reviews.us/index.shtml (one of my sites). Ignore the index.shtml at the end. It has nothing to do with the domain name; it is a specific document on my virtual server. Since the virtual server has a default document, if you just type in the domain name, with a protocol name and a trailing slash if you have a browser which doesn't provide them, you will get the same document. Once DNS starts to look for a numerical address corresponding to broker-reviews.us , it first checks to see if you are on the same domain. You aren't, because I "own" (really 'rent') that domain, and would know if you were on it. It then checks to see if one of the local DNS servers has a copy of that name cached, if it has been used recently by someone near you. Unlikely. It then goes to the end of the domain name and sees .us. It checks copies of the few main ICANN servers to see where it can find a list of "second-level domains" in that "top level domain". It goes to one of those DNS servers and finds the corresponding IP address, and then sends your request for a document to my virtual server. The www. near the beginning of the URL used to represent a subdomain, and if it were replaced in something like "george.broker-reviews.us" it still would, but today the www. means very little. On my server, like many others, it's a meaningless redirect. Some top level domains are called "unrestricted" and some are called "restricted". Anyone can rent ("buy") an unrestricted subdomain like .com or .org. Many top level domains are restricted, and some are more restricted than others. .us is technically restricted to US citizens, companies located in the US, or companies doing substantial business in the US. It is technically restricted, but very easy to get. If you try to get your own .mil domain, on the other hand, you will find it impossible. There are retailers for domains because ICANN, who really controls the domain system, doesn't sell domains to the public. Some retailers are authorized by ICANN directly to sell domains to the public, some are "resellers", who are in effect marketers for domains sold by others. You will find different opinions on the different retailers all over the Net. One warning: it is usually bad to buy a domain name from one of the more expensive retailers, like Network Solutions, because their service is no better and often worse. You'll just pay more for the same name. You also might want to avoid the very cheapest resellers, who may be fly-by-nights who won't be there when you need to renew your domain, which will cause problems for you. It's very hard to answer that one. Ask a more specific question, and I'm sure that someone here will try to help.

Yes, you can. Not only do I remember that from the whole theory behind the router on the way to my Network+ Certificate, but in fact my own sysem is set up that way, and I transfer data from one machine to another all the time. As far as using the hub to divide your Internet connection among two computers at once, I don't think that that can be done, but I'm not absolutely sure. The problem will be that your ISP will not see the hub; the hub is a passive device, and your ISP will see two or more different hosts, the end-user computers, hooked up to one connection at the same time, which isn't allowed in TCP/IP.

Hmmm. It looks like everyone here agrees that 'amateur' means 'bad'. Of course, the artists and art critics of the Song Dynasty in China prided themselves on being amateurs (and even sometimes pretended to be amateurs when they weren't), and their opinion formed the main stream of Chinese opinion until Mao decided that it was a no-no.. And quite a few of the most famous artists in the West started out as amateurs: if my memory is holding up, Van Gogh and Gauguin started out as "Sunday painters", and the douanier Rousseau remained one all of his life. I like some Gauguins and Rousseaus, but if the learned gentlemen say that they're no good, who am I to argue?As for being touristy, I am also unenthusiastic about Canaletto, even if I have all of the museum curators and critics against me. I do like the Early Christian and Byzantine "pilgrims' bottles" which were originally tourist dodads, and now fill the world's museums, but once again, if the learned critics on the board say that they are no good because they are amateurish and touristy, who am I to argue?I'm sorry that I can't really say anything about your photos themselves, MizLiz, but in order to make sense out of that kind of photograph I have to know something about the context, and in this case I don't.

I don't think much of the late Susan Sontag's work, but she has one good line in her book about photography. She says that Weston's nudes aren't in the least sensual, but his green peppers are very much so. On the subject of German salade nicoise, I can only say: I've never seen a purple cow; I never hope to see one. But I can tell you anyhow, I'd rather see than be one.

I have used both for a long time, and actually prefer Open Office. Many of the features are similar, once you get used to them. OO starts faster on my system. It's also much easier to install OO, or to install new components which you didn't know you wanted when you first installed.And here's a strange one. I've now got Windows 2000. I had bought MS Office for Win 98, I think. The Word part of office now almost always crashes, but OO runs fine. That means that my version of Windows is more foreign to MS Word than it is to Open Office.

There are at least two problems, though, for the people who like it: 1. We won't be able to buy any more copies. 2. There won't be any more security updates. What do you mean "for a windows"? What specific complaints do you have against Windows 2000?

You can find Microsoft's explanation of the Windows encryption system here. That article is aimed mainly at XP Professional users, but the same encryption system works on all of the versions of NT and its descendents, as far as I know. Some points, translated into real English: The Windows Encryption system, EFS, is intended to be used with NTFS permissions. The permissions are intended to prevent unauthorized access through normal Windows procedures, and EFS is intended mainly to prevent access by people who have gained physical access to the system, and are attempting to use low-level procedures to bypass the permissions. Neither is a substitute for the other. Unlike third-party password-based encryptions systems, EPS is intended to be transparent to the legitimate user. Once a user has logged on to Windows, he needs no additional password or log-on to access the encrypted files or folders, if he has appropriate permissions. There are free and paid third-party encryption systems for password-protecting files and folders. I use AxCrypt, a free one, and am perfectly satisfied with it. EFS cannot be used with NTFS file compression. If a person attempts to encrypt a compressed file, it will be automatically decompressed. If I remember correctly, if he tries to compress an encrypted file, he will get some kind of error message. Encrypted files will become unencrypted if moved to a non-NTFS volume, but not if they are moved to an unencrypted folder on NTFS. Certain files, such as system files, cannot be encrypted. Encryption does not protect against directory listing or deletion by unauthorized personnel. It only protects the internal contents of the file or folder from being read.

For many years I've liked the story of Cassandra, which you can find here, as well as many other places on the Web. I find a lot of morality and beauty in it. And it happens to me too often that I tell the people around me about some disaster which is about to occur, get ignored, and then have to watch it happen. I've also particularly liked this image from a Greek vase painting since I first saw it several decades ago. It represents, of course, Cassandra. In addition, Jane Austen's sister and best friend, the recipient of most of her known letters, and the most interesting ones, was called Cassandra. Jane called her "Cassy".

I've been using Godaddy.com for years and I'm very satisfied. I can't lead you through it by the hand, because they've changed their interfaces a few times since I last listed a new domain. However, if you run into problems, I'll be happy to try to answer any questions. Just post them here. The most important thing to know is that they have good phone support. Just call the number on the pages you're using, tell them you want them to walk you through, and they'll do it.When I last signed up for a new name, Godaddy also asked for a company name. (That's what "entity name" means.) If you leave it blank, like I did, it will stay blank in your official ICANN registration, but that presents no problem. As an individual, I'm still listed as the administrative, billing, and technical content for that blank entity, so I'm still the big cheese for anything connected with those domains.

Except for "The first time", it doesn't sound to me like he has gotten past BIOS. As soon as BIOS is finished loading, and the machine looks for a drive to read the MBR from, he gets a message that there's no drive.

just wondering how this is in the photography forum ?? I thought that they were good photos, and good editing. In fact I considered the photos, not the food, the main subject of the posting. It's not my fault if people around here are sunken deep in the lusts of the flesh (instead of being abstemious like me), and prefer thinking about food instead of art. So does that particular cake make u drunk? Not likely. There's about 1/3 cup liquor in the whole cake, about 2-1/2 jiggers. It does give a very noticeable taste, though.

Savarin Montmorency. It's a yeast-based cake - the same one used in the famous baba au rhum - soaked in rum or brandy, filled with sour cherry preserves, and topped with whipped cream. This one started out as a two-line reference in a very ordinary cookbook. The Montmorency family was closely connected with the French royal family, but I suspect that the name comes not directly from the noble family, but from the variety of cherries named after them. Strawberry Shortcake. Typically American; don't say that I'm not patriotic. It's hard to find real strawberry shortcake these days, unless you make it yourself. Most of the commercial imitations are just ordinary yellow cake with strawberries and whipped cream. The "short" in short cake refers to a very high-fat dough, as in "shortening". Don't tell my doctor. This was just part of the table setting at some kind of family occasion; I think that it was a minor religious holiday, but I don't remember. The characters are, from the top down and left to right: pickled ginger (to accompany the sushi), traditional Jewish jam-filled cookies (storeboughten; we all have our weaknesses), traditional petit fours (storeboughten), nagari sushi, some other kind of sushi which doesn't have a name because I invented it, different nagari sushi, marzipan petit fours (storeboughten), maki sushi, and traditional petit fours (storeboughten). Salade Nicoise. It was much better than the one I had in Paris, but then, who would trust a Frenchman to make salade nicoise.

What exactly do you want it to do? AI Roboform at https://www.roboform.com/ is good, and performs the functions of most password managers, among other things.

Mine is pretty good at the moment. Using http://www.dslreports.com/ , from Western Asia: 2005-07-13 15:36:50 EST: 1186 / 97 Your download speed : 1215430 bps, or 1186 kbps. A 148.3 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 99477 bps, or 97 kbps. My nominal is 1500kbs download, 98 upload, and this is the worst time of day where I am.

It sounds like your master boot record might be gone. First read the Microsoft article about Fdisk /MBR https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/69013 , and then boot with a DOS startup disk which includes Fdisk and use Fdisk /MBR to recreate the master boot record.

Some small freeware utilities for Windows which not everyone knows about. Real freeware, not adware or other ickkies. some of them are also available for other OSs. Productivity: Yankee Clipper. Windows clipboard enhancer for text, images, and other formats. Includes a boilerplate handler. Also seems to have a paid version now, but I don't know anything about it. ExamDiff. Makes it easy to check the differences between 2 text-based files. Also has a paid version which I've never used. WWW: Naviscope. A pre-fetch type Web accelerator with some other functions such as DNS caching and ad-blocking. No longer being developed, and no longer has a website, but available from many old freeware sites. The most recent release is 8.70. I think that Proxomitron is very similar, but I've never tried it. AI Roboform. Form filler. There's also a paid version, but I haven't tried it. Lynx Browser. Text-only Web browser has several uses in this multimedia age. Among others, it makes it easy to check HTTP headers and to at least try to view pages whose scripts have gone crazy. Security: InstallWatch. Records the changes which a program makes in your system while installing. Helps to get rid of junk which badly written programs or malware leave all over your system even after uninstalling. AxCrypt. File encryption. AnalogX Script Defender. Simply asks you if you're sure before you can run scripts or programs of types which you can specify. Especially good for keeping yourself from accidentally running or installing malware from email attachments. AnalogX also has some other freeware utilities worth looking at. (Freeware by Gibson Research.) Many small utilities for testing and tweaking security settings on Web-connected machines.

I just thought that you youngsters would like to see the specifications of my first system. It will give you a laugh. It was an Apple II+.8-bit 6502 processor, running at a bus speed of 1 MHz. (No, children, that's not a typo. The processor could really handle a whopping 3 MHz, but Apple, like Intel, believed in underclocking.)64 KB RAM. (No, children, the K is not a typo.)I can't tell you how big the hard drive was, because it didn't have one. One normally booted off of a 5" floppy.OS: DOS, which I think was written by Microsoft. In any case, it was very similar in use to the early MS DOSs, written personally by one Mr. Gates. It came with a version of BASIC which was indeed written by Mr. Gates. It was a pretty good system for its day.If you wonder how a system that small handled a GUI: it usually didn't. One normally worked from the command line or text menus.If you're wondering how one even wrote scripts for such a small system: one wrote a lot in assembly language. This was less difficult than it sounds, since the machine was supplied with the complete source code of the OS, so that one could hook onto its subroutines easily, or write substitutes. The source code filled about 5 or 6 small pages.

The TI-99 was a good machine. It came with the best processor of its time (the only real 16-bit processor available then), and had solid state cartridges instead of 5-inch floppy drives as standard equipment. Their big problem was that they priced it way too high, compared to the other home machines of its day. The cartridges were also too small for storing BASIC programs, which were popular then, or source code. The average user also had trouble getting used to the idea of working without a floppy. In general, great technology but bad communication with the customer. RIP.

Most webmasters and other SEO people believe that getting your site listed in the major human-edited directories helps it to rank high in the search engines. I have listed some comments on some important general, human-edited directories where many sites can be listed for free. First, some general notes: 1. Read the submission rules carefully before submitting, and follow them exactly. This will often greatly speed up your site's acceptance, and in some cases will make a difference between having your site accepted or rejected. 2. Most of the human-edited general directories only accept the default entrance page of most domains, not individual pages of subdomains. They will, however, accept subdomains which are equivalent to independent sites, such as frequently happens with sites hosted by free hosting services. Zeal accepts individual pages and domains which otherwise satisfy their requirements almost without limitation. 3. Many directories require you to become one of the directory editors, in some category, in order to submit your site for free. Most of them don't object to people joining just for that purpose. (I don't know about ODP.) However, they will be pleased if you stay and continue editing. It's an interesting hobby, and a good way to keep up with what other webmasters in your field are doing. 4. If there are also subject-specific directories in your field which accept free submissions, submit to them. My experience has been that they help one's search engine ranking, and also send directly to your site more of their own users than you would expect. Some general directories: ODP, also known as DMOZ: The most important general directory which accepts free submissions. They are also the only major one which accepts free submissions without asking that you become an editor first. Submissions can take a long time to be accepted, because they are desperately short of editors. They have a forum where you can communicate with higher-ranking editors more or less directly if you don't like the way your submission is being handled (or ignored), but the senior editors tend to be unpleasant, in my opinion and that of many others. On the other hand, despite what you might expect, the regular editors who handle most submissions are usually competent and honest. If your site belongs in a small directory low on the directory tree, there's nothing stopping you from applying to be an editor of it, and then submitting your own site (if it qualifies) as well as others. JoeAnt: You have to become an editor to submit your site for free. It's easier, but not necessary, if you immediately apply to become an editor of the major category in which your site belongs. Skaffe: I think that you have to become an editor to submit your site for free, but they may still have a limited free public submission program. They editors here seem friendlier than most. They have some interesting perks for editors, including right to post banners and free Web hosting, with some limitations. Zeal: You have to become an editor to submit your site for free, and you have to pass a formal test to become a Zeal editor. Zeal itself accepts only non-commercial sites, but they are owned by LookSmart, which does accept commercial sites according to some kind of payment scheme. If you have a site or page, supported with a lot of free information supported by a little advertising, you might want to try to submit it. The editor who checks it out may consider it sufficiently non-commercial to be listed. Some people say that Zeal is dying; I don't know, but it does seem to have less influence on search engine ranking than it used to. On the other hand, you may get a significant number of visitors from the LookSmart network itself, which is very diversified.

Worked fine for me at the end, but one piece of advice:I'm usually logged in as a "user", for security reasons. When I tried to run Windriver Expert like that, I got an error message. It apparently needs to be run with Administrator permissions.

If I remember correctly, you should get the serial number by email. Did you give them a real email address, and did you make sure that it will get through the spam filters? If not, try again, giving them a usable email address. I have been using AVG for years, and like it better than I liked Norton or McAfee. Free doesn't hurt, either.
