Welcome to Xisto.I don't believe this is related to the security site Astalavista, though I'm not certain. I hope you enjoy the community here at Xisto, and I hope you can help people while enjoying yourself!

This review isn't very good. Can we know more about this host, it's speed and u-time for example?

There's either 9 planets (if Pluto isn't one), 10 planets (if Pluto is one) or 11 (if Sedna is one).I believe the 11 planets idea, just due to the fact I do!

It's comical, I can't get into Yahoo! Mail as it doesn't like the browser and it says 'Upgrade to Internet Explorer 6.0' More screenshots at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I'm on a PC which uses both Linux (with various distros, mainly Xandros and ubuntu) and Windows XP Home Edition SP2. Athlon 64 3400+ with 1.5GB RAM.I wish I had a Mac, cause there great. But currently many hackers have managed to get OSX running natively on a x86.

I think it wouldn't look good having a gap in the middle of your desktop, in between the monitors. LOL.

I must admit too many EPs were released for TS1. Hopefully TS2 won't be the same, but they seem just to be remaking EPs. Doesn't Nightlife look like Hot Date?The EPs took up all of my old PCs HDD up, I had to get a new one!

I don't believe in any religion, as it is impossible that a 'god' could exist. However, the theory of evolution doesn't answer all questions; why are we here in the first place.The only way we can ever know is if we know how the universe was made, and the big bang isn't correct (where was the matter in the first place).

Hello all. I'm after reviews of my blog, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Please note my blog is technicalish, so if you are a technophobe please don't go on it! Reviews maybe quoted on my blog, in which case a link to your site will be provided, so please include that. It would be much appreciated.

Angelfire is rarely used any longer. It's part of the Lycos network. Tripod is too, and that is there 'flagship' host. I find it strange how Lycos owns different hosts, but don't just make them one?

The networks I generally use are:Gnutella - For music it gets search results fastestGnutella2 - For more common music, lots of sources, and for TV episodesED2K - Old warezBittorrent - New warezAnd the never...nevers...Direct Connect - Too common, most clients bundled with malwareOpenNap (WinMX) - Ancient, slow, ineffective search.

And schools... stop kids from hacking! Poor kids.I see the point of this now.

Some of those text tools are old. I love Crimson Editor.

Audacity along with LAME is great - and open source - I use Audacity for cleaning up tracks as I have no other use for it.If you don't want to use Audacity for some strange reason you could use Nero Wave Editor, but there's no point.

MySQL is easily the best. More scripts support it. If you can't run MySQL use PostgreSQL.

I don't follow any religion, apart from Star Trek! Of course aliens exist.... Vulcans, Romulans, Cardassians, Klingons, Deltans, Betazoids, Bill Gates....

In Britain it's illegal to use a handheld phone in a car, and people actually follow the law. I was on holiday recently in MA, and we nearly crashed due to the fact a driver near us didn't see us due to the fact she was on a mobile. It is better for everything to ban it on that level, but don't ban hands-free.

CSS is a pain. Internet Explorer cannot generally render blogs with sidebars as it wants some extra CSS, which isn't generally included in the template.Internet Explorer 6 is too old, I hope/think IE7 has better CSS support. Still I think gecko is superior!

Windows XPs clock is quite boring, and loading the calender can be irritating due to the fact it pops up in a new window. In Longhorn/Vista a better clock was added, but not all of us want to make such a radical change, so Ying Han made LClock. To get this Longhorn style clock first head over to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and download LClock. Once your download is finished open the archive and run the program, this will install LClock on your system. It is really just a case of pressing next, but remember to choose if you want LClock to run on start-up (you probably do). Once installation is complete the program will launch. Now you can mod LClock. Right click on the (hopefully new) clock and click LClock Properties. Modify the settings, such as the font until you get something to your liking. Close it, your done. To see the new calender which is added simply click the clock once ad there it is!

Does it work in IE7?

Computer managemnt is also useful for creating NTFS and FAT32 partitions. Better and easier than PM8 for that!

I wouldn't use Ad-Aware. If you have 2000 or XP, Microsoft AntiSpyware is the best option, but note it's in beta and currently free but may go commercial. Ad-Aware is good, but I prefer Spybot S&D, though most people don't!

I like BorgChat. Good, simple, works on most Windows versions.

1) Microsoft AntiSpyware (MS isn't always bad)2) Spybot S&D (gee, freeware)3) Ad-aware (paid version available - boo)
