  1. On the 28th of June, Microsoft released an Update Rollup which is expected to be the last major revision before Windows 2000 moves from having Mainstream support to Extended Support. Microsoft doesn't add features to products which is in the "Extended Support" period unless it is really necessary so the Update Rollup is just alot of security patches bundled together, with some new ones for low to medium security breaches for Windows 2000 before it moves into Extended Support. Lots of people expected it to be a service pack, going to be known as SP5 but Microsoft announced last November that it was only going to be known as an Update Rollup, not a service pack. The final service pack for Windows 2000 will be SP4. Service pack 4 was released in March 2003. Although Microsoft's Windows 2000 operating system has been around for a long time and has been followed by some other Operating System versions (latest is Windows XP), a survey by AssetMatrix showed that Windows 2000 is still quite popular among Small Business and Corporations. Nearly half of all Windows-based desktops now being used by computer users are Windows 2000s. Find out on the survey at http://news.a.com.com/. For more information, go to http://news.a.com.com/ My comment: Well, I just think that Windows 2000 should be special and have a longer mainstream support than other previous operating systems from now on, along with the operating systems after it. As the survey shows, lots of people are still using the Windows 2000 operating system.
  2. Is this the one I've heard on the news about US courts and people using programs from Internet Cafes and how Internet Cafes are liable? I find that document that you have provided us too long and too time-consuming to read, so i'm saving it for later and so I don't know about what you're saying yet. I thought that it was already that by law, I don't understand. Please explain. Turiddu's post: Yea, people just keep doing it even though it's against the copyright laws. I have no idea why this has been brought up again and again.
  3. I would if it was more well-known and more supported. Like, most programs need windows to run on. VB, VB .NET need windows. VBScript needs MSIE(Microsoft Internet Explorer) and Windows Software Developement Tools need windows to run as well. I personally can't find anything on windows that is for linux also(or very few, I should say). Well, I know that linux has some features that people want that Windows still doesn't have but they don't interest me more than my two Window XPs. I hope that Windows Longhorn in the future will have more skinnable areas and have in-built programs to skin your computer. I have no idea what Linux looks like(well, I do, but not alot). It's simpler... I can't find anything on QED though, so I can't comment on that. All I remember for windows WinCustomize products is that I could change Windows to exactly Linux interface with a few products(a desktop product, windowblinds and one more, I forgot)... I wonder what QED will do.
  4. Well, what I'm saying is just that if you don't like WMP you can remove it, dunno what the EC is doing all this for
  5. You can use the Microsoft Webbrowser control in there and use PHP
  6. Urgh. Yuck! Google is offering it and now Yahoo is offering it as well! Well, they are TRYING... Here's the URL: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Anyway, Yahoo's adsense is called publisher... I rather prefer Google better because they were the ones who made it first. Anyway, you never know what Yahoo! Publisher is going to be like, so I can't decide yet. I don't think Yahoo! Publisher is out yet. You can only register on their website for the mailing list and wait patiently while they make it. I like google better than yahoo somehow, maybe it's because of the roomy space google has on it's front page. I dunno, but I'd stick with google if it's like nearly the same
  7. Nah, Hotmail didn't just 'recently' do it, and not just for US residents. 1. You had to be an existing user 2. If you were a new user, you had to wait like 30 days (so that people don't create multiple accounts for lots of extra space) 3. It's not just for the US. Check out http://www.mess.be/, it 'did' have some information on it and it was for the whole hotmail system 4. It wasn't recently, quite l ike half a year ago I think Well, I 'think' Gmail will win the email battle because neither hotmail or yahoo mail said that they increase their space like every minute. Look on gmail's website. https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue= https://mail.google.com/mail/ it says that it's growing every minute(and you can see it grow, too)
  8. No no no, Windows Media Player is free. You don't have to pay for it. It's just that they bundled it with Windows XP for more performance without more downloading
  9. I got WindowBlinds I use the Longhorn slate skin. I once unloaded windowblinds because it was lagging my computer a bit because I was doing like 15 things at once and I don't know how to load it again... Usage can be a little bit complicated but it's okay once you get used to it. You can download a free trial version at their website and there's a sh areware version with more features if you've bought something from their company online before .
  10. Quote from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Due to the European Commission's decision that Microsoft was 'forcing' their users to use Windows Media Player by bundling it with their Windows XP, Microsoft had to remove it from their newest operating system. Because of the European Commission's judgement, Microsoft had to make a new system for users in Europe so that they can use Windows XP. Microsoft came up with Windows XP Home Edition N and Windows XP Professional N. They both don't have Windows Media Player on them. Windows Media Player could be downloaded at http://www.windowsupdate.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx. I read somewhere that Windows XP N isn't popular as it doesn't include any new features, just a removed feature so that Microsoft's trading partners aren't stocking that version. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  11. I totally agree. Well, I remember a security thing where Javascript could be used to cover your normal address bar address with a different one, so you can forge microsoft or bank addresses. As most people use Internet Explorer the hackers targeted IE so it didn't work on Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox showed the address was fake because the bar was out of position
  12. Woot! Finally I can transfer 10GB of information from one computer to another! (The Computers I have are in different countries and I don't want to buy 10 1GB memory sticks lol.)Thanks for recommending this to us. Do they display your information on the web? (like give you a url?) or do you need their program to download your files back?
  13. How much credits does it cost to upgrade from plan 1 to plan 2? 50MB (or was it 20, I just forgot) isn't enough when I upload my existing site to this new server (I think).
  14. All I can say is... wow! There's alot of search engines there. Must've took alot of time to build and gather all that information lol. Where did you first see the URL?I can see one thing missing: Google isn't branched out... Google is in australia and new zealand I know but the search engine database only displayed Google in United States
  15. HI everybody! Xisto is the nicest hosting out there, I can tell you that Well, I'll tell you a little bit about myself here. (I hope I didn't post wrongly, as this is my first TOPIC here)I like computer scripting and programming. I also like a couple of games which are multiplayer. I have no degree at all on any of these. I just do it for fun as a hobby. The games I like are http://www.runescape.com/ (runescape) and http://www.mapleglobal.com/ (maplestory). I only quite like 2 games. Other small games available on MSN Messenger like hexic and bejeweled I sometimes play with my friends wh ile chatting. I like runescape the most. I program in VB .NET and script PHP and HTML. Nice meeting you here. Please do say hi back to me, I would like to know you guys well.
  16. I personally still use Internet Explorer just because it's more simple and the default 'theme'(not like you can change it anyway) suits Windows XP... Nothing else... I don't use Firefox or anything else because they need the Sun Java SDK for Java while IE uses Microsoft JVM. Those are the only reasons I still stick with Internet Explorer
  17. yea, I'm talking about the process website. Thank you for your help
  18. I'm trying to get my website hosted HERE and not Xisto, but when i read the activating your account thing (pinned message on the new account section) the only option is to create a _____.trap17.com and th ere's no option for creating _____.astahost.com. Can I only create it on Xisto? I like Xisto better.
  19. You can disable ads altogether... I have one and I disabled ads. Also, You can just set it to redirect and not use frames
  20. To make it transparent, I use Adobe Photoshop (paint doesn't have transparent ability). You first create a file, make the background 'transparent'. Click ok, design your picture, etc, etc. Save it as a .gif (or .png I think) and put it on a page! When the page changes color, the parts of the picture that you left transparent will be that page's color(therefore transparent)
  21. I recommend Firefox. 1. Firefox blocks out all spyware and adware off picture files2. IE doesn't have the security update yet3. Firefox has more security updates than IE4. My favourite game's company uses Firefox, so i think that Firefox is more secure
