If you are going to upload lots of audio and video files, I suggest getting the higher package hosting, because 20MB on the starter package probably wont be enough.I dont actually know which hosting package you have, but I'm just saying :lol:Ed

You would certainly get a very good gaming rig for $1500. Check out https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ Top quality site.

The forums are also very useful. There are litrally hundreds of topics based on 'Recommended gaming rig for ÂŁ800' etc

The hardware is fairly cheap, and deffinately of the highest quality.

I really like the simpleness of it. Everything looks clean and professional.One point I would make though is try shifting the whole page to the center. (Like Google for example)At the moment, I feel like I'm looking up a little to much.Ed

Try using these different FTP clients.

https://www.globalscape.com/cuteftp
https://www.smartftp.com/

Both very good programs. You can at least try them

Yeh, I've seen this at someone's house, its pretty cool , both tft's as wellthis will certainly be a thing for the future.Thinking of that, I need a new monitor, stuck with a very old CRT :lol:Ed

The best OS is the one that makes YOU happy

Yep, totually agree, its all up to you and what you enjoy doing on your computer.

the MAC OS X has a much nicer user-friendly interface for graphic designers, and that is why they simply use them throughout the industry.

However I have been with windows all of my life, so I am just used to it, and as I have not got a proper job yet, there is no need for me to have anything more at the moment.

I play quite a lot of games, so I'd deffinatley stay with a PC, for now anyway.

I would seriously consider getting a mac in the future though.

Adsense is deffinately worth it, I know one site imparticular that has earned a fortune out of it. Even if you dont get much money, you'll still at least get a profit. As someone above mentioned, I think they start paying you cheques monthly AFTER the required credit has been met.Adsense is going to be put on my site soon for sure (when more content gets put on)Hope I have helped.Ed

http://www.istockphoto.com/ca/landing/unsupported seems pretty good. A huge variety of stock photographs. You will find almost anything you want there.

Hope that helps a little.

the games brilliant, it's as simple as that, lol

I found the original Battlefield was just sooo boring, with emtpy space and the occasional building on a HUGE map.

With battlefield 2, buildings are everywhere, and close combat firing is very common.

I think the planes are a little to fast, but updates will sort a lot of the problems.

There aren't many bugs as far as I can see, which gives a really good impression.

You can see how popular the game is going to be, thousands of people playing on it constantly.

I think the game will be really popular for clans as well, as they have introduced more squad play and tactics.

The ranking system will be really good, with medals and that. The higher you are in the rankings, and the better you play, the more weapons and accessories you can unlock for multiplayer, this is a cool addon for advanced players so they do not get as bored easily. The added weapons will not be any better that the original standard weapons, so the not so good players will still cope fine!

I'm deffinately going to buy this game!

Ed

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ gives some cool stats for all of the people playing games of Gamespy Arcade.

in my opinion, the second one is the best.I see you have used a pixel font. You have increased the font size to much, and it looks stretched. Try setting it to size 8-10.Nice sig though :(Ed

I'm really surprised no-one has mentioned System Mechanic 5 Professional, this is a great tool for improving your computers performance, it also gets rid of spyware, adware etc, and also sorts out and cleans your registry. There are lots of features and its well worth buying for only $30 or something.

Another great tool is tuneUp Utilities. This pretty much does the same thing, but helps in different ways.

I highly recommend both!

I used to use all of the rubbish spyware tools mentioned above, but cant stand a lot of them.

Ed

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ give fantastic offers on just about everything to do with hardware and certain software. There are many very affordable laptops there that are very well built with the top components. They certainly know what they are doing over there, so I highly reccommend them!

It depends a lot on what kind of things you will be doing at school. I would get plently of ram, that would be a main factor for me. Just get a standard/average intergrated graphics card (thats if your not going to be gaming on it) - afterall, it is a laptop! Try keeping the components you dont really need to a minimum cost. This should help a lot!

Hope you find a laptop that suits your needs.

Yeh, I was thinking of getting a .co.nr domain, but wasn't too sure about the loading speeds that it gives you etc.

.TK domains give the worst possible impression of a site, I cant stand them, I see the ad, and think "Oh no, another rubbish website is coming up". They also make your website unbelievably slow.

I think I'm going to buy a cheap .com something at https://de.godaddy.com/ or something. They are highly recommended, just look at their prices.

Ed

lmao what a stupid domain.They are getting loads of traffic due to everybody being interested in it, lolIts a good idea actually, lol, have two domain linking to each other, one long un-professional one, and the other one being really professional (.com domain)Ed

cinema4d is good

 

heres a list of loads of tutorials to help you. Even if your a beginner, there is lots to get you started!

its a debate that while go on for ever, until blizzard release another title anyway.

just search google to be filtered by all of the arguements and articles

https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=wownG=Search&meta=

In my opinion, wow is far better

Ive never actually played pes4, although everyone goes on about how much more realistic it is to fifa games. Does anybody know if there is going to be a fifa 2006 anytime?Ed

wotever rockstar do is going to attract the gamers, all of their grand theft auto games have been a massive success.

Well I like source and 1.6 but now I don't play it anymore because of those noob hackers. I drives me crazy when someone goes on like a rampage with a speedhack and kills of an entire team in less than 2 minutes! 

 

haha but anyway source has way better graphics. lol X800 XTPE oh yeah! 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

you just have to find the right servers with decent commmunities, where there is no hackers.

 

I dont even play in public servers anymore anyway

I used to always play it, until counterstikre source was released anyway. The gameplay is amazing, nothing will beat it for a long time. multiplayer objective match is kinda boring after playing it for around two years tho, the same three, old maps

yep, 64 players on the battlefield, new engine, new maps, new everything!

around 20,000 people playing on the Battlefield 2 demo already, and it was only released last night!

Its a hefty 500mb but its certainly worth the download.

Search for it on google, there's plently of mirrors to download it from.

Battlefield 2 system requirements aren't that harsh either, but with an amazing pc, the graphics would be brilliant, as shown in the official trailers.

head over to eagames.com for info!

Yep windowblinds is a good program, especially the latest version that I think is $19 or something.

I've been using it for a while. However most of my downloaded skins result in jogging windows when on the internet. its really annoying, and its a struggle to concentrate sometimes.

theres also another site similar to wincustomize called themexp.com

hope this is useful

Ed

one really addicting mmorpg game is runescape.  You can waste a lot of time on that game.  Some people love it, some find it annoying...I love it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I tryed runescape for 1-2 days, I absolutely hated it.

 

although thats probably because i'm used to playing such better non-free games.

 

I suppose runescape is good in the way that its free of charge and no monthly subscription is needed.

 

For those of you who have the money to pay a monthly subscription, world of warcraft or guild wars is for you. Links are below:

looks like a have a few more months to wait, I cant see it being better than firefox, they release new versions and updates really often.

heres an article on IE7 http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I would say only get an amd if your into games. Intel is usually better for programming etc.
