  1. And how long will this offer last exactly? Buying domain names on such a scale will be expensive
  2. According to the results of AV, Kaspesky is by far the best anti-virus solution. However, don't load all your eggs in one basket. I use CA eTrust Antivirus, and nothing gets on the machine. However, this does not mean it can't. I suggest you get two or three antiviruses (if you can), that way you keep your system going. I know antiviruses can conflict, but I have only seen that happen with Norton rubbish.
  3. For antivirus, I use CA eTrust Ez Antivirus, it is small, powerful and fast, just what I need. I would recommend to anyone to get this, at only $20 (or so) for registration of the product (indefinately), it is not bad (plus the constant auto-matic updates).As for anti-spyware, I use a two, as they miss things from each other. I use Spybot S&D and Adaware. When setting up Spybot, don't use the immunize, I did and my system literrally went on super-defense mode. I couldn't even access java games.And for my firewall, I use the all-time favourite, Zonelabs Zonalarm. I think it is great, and nobody can change my mind.At one point, I did McAfee suite, but then I realized that haven't all your bases covered with one porgram set, can be useless. That is why I use a variety of software/freeware to defend my computer.

    EZ Antivirus

    I know this is an old thread, but I don't care. CA Ez-Antivirus is used by a lot of the major companies around the world. And a lot of retail stores, like PCWorld use it. I have the full version, which only costs $20 or so for a license (compare that to the likes of Norton). If you combine your antivirus, antispyware and firewall, you should never have any problems, so an antivirus that has 99.65% results, that costs hundreds of british sterling is uselss.
  5. They said that we don't have to worry about people sending e-mails to existing addresses. Example, me@gmail.com, becomes me@googlemail.com. However, people sending mail to me@gmail.com will still go through to me@googlemail.com. I see no confusion, and don't think it is as complex as some people I have seen on other forums make out. If people really want to have a free personalized e-mail account (name@anythingyouwant.com) then check out https://www.mail.com/int/ (rather simple name), the service is not all that great, but it is good for those that want me@me.com.
  6. I think they could work on it a little, they have taken simplicity a little too far. Anyway, I checked it out, and I don't think it is all that great. I'll stick to my current homepage.
  7. You look like the Hulk in some strange way. It would be cool if you used it as your avatar
  8. If you add a slight outline or shadow to your text, it will be fine.The size, for me is a little to wide. Normal singatures follow either 540x100 pixels or, maximum size allowed on the forum.
  9. Promotional banners or a header? For promotion, I think you could come up with something more professional. Afterall, Asta is about the professional side of things. Your third one would be perfect for Xisto (with a few alterations).The second one is very neatly done, however the graphic in it looks a little like not your work. Please say if I am wrong. It just seems weird, that you have excellent CAD/CAM (3D modelling) skills, yet fall down when it comes to layering text to fit in with an existing element. Perhaps if you made the text on this one "knocked-out" into the metal, it would look a lot better.The first and fourth ones look childish, and as though you couldn't be bothered with them.
  10. This is a very sad topic. Can someone fill me in, what is neopets?
  11. Well, 2,305,843,009,213,693,952 individual addresses can be used for IPv6. This is better than the IPv4, helps with security and is a lot more long-term.
  12. I think Nintendo are deploying something that only I thought I had thought of. Each console will cost them very little money. If you then charge the public very little, the profit margin will not be small but not big. However, with such a technology, and at such a low price, millions will be sold.
  13. E-mails make me laugh even more. Most of the junk I get is from other teens with messages like: Now, translated into English with grammar. As you can see, the second one is more readable and is, for me, easier to read. The first one however, took me longer to type and started confusing me, the one who was making it. As I have said in a similar thread to this, it is people that don't take there time. One of my pet hates is coz. It doesn't bother me to see it with full gramatical sentences (the way m^e does it), it is only annoying, when people are reckless. For IRC/IM/SMS, I can see the relevance of l33t, but otherwise, it is just annoying.
  14. As I understand it, XBOX, being a Microsoft product, will contain en embedded OS, to make it work. Now, this embedded OS will be by Microsoft. As Microsoft are the sole propierters to XBOX, I would think putting Linux onto a Microsoft product would be illegal.Linux is funded by many organisations and lone donators, therefore, it essentially is a company as the money must be going somewhere. There are millions of dollars in the Linux program, and it will grow.------moving on-------I personally use Emulators on the PC in order to play games that have been made for the PS2, XBOX or GameCube. Although, I do this in a blue-moon occasion. I finder it a lot cheaper than buying the console.
  15. The link I gave messed up (probably becuase it is in Capitals). Try https://www.templatesbox.com/
  16. I can't believe noone has said it. https://www.templatesbox.com/ it has got to be the best free template site (click on the free templates button at the top to gain access). Although I don't use templates, they are pretty decent and are ALL free.
  17. They don't have a site anymore, it is more than likely that all members of the site have lost their accounts, please check.
  18. Thanks for that m^e. Seems I was far from the truth. I thought they were similar, and ran like a background process on an existing OS, like a live-view OS.
  19. News is still news, it has no time limit. This may have come out ages ago, but I think it is still important.You may be wright about the idea of not having newspapers, but I think traditionalists will not agree with you, in fact they would be dead against it. And he said that there will be no more CD/DVD (in sort of speak), as for the screens, Siemens have developed a paper-thin screen (see forum post somewhere).
  20. So ebbinger is making the High School website, or is that your lame excuse for funny (no offense intended). As you haven't put up the image, I can't see what it looks like. A school is an organisation, therefore should have a detailed and well designed website. The reason you probably had a slow loading time is because of the size of your images, in Fireworks you can compress images, which in affect helps a lot. And if http://www.clintonville.k12.wi.us/ is your schools website, it really needs re-doing. A picture of a Fire-engine is a little OTT, especially when it is fake. Try going for something either classical or technical, depending on your school type. The subpages look a lot better than the home page.
  21. Together, our suggestions (or slags) will help him/her through it.
  22. The specs for Xbox have always been low, yet for some reason, the graphics quality is high, personally, I don't understand how this is so.Anyway, putting Linux on an XBox, may have legal issues. If Microsoft have the grounds to, they can take this organisation and the Linux kernal Company to court. Then where would Linux be?Personally, I would not like Linux on an XBox, although I do not have one, it is still better to know that my machine is as-is. Putting an OS into a games console could have effects on the performance.
  23. A college? xboxrulz, if you became a game designer (and developer) you could be earning £30,00 annually and a company car (taken from advert ) As a game designer, and taking the course in it, employers would expect you to be able to program/design for Windows and the other large OS. Becuase Linux is a freeware based system, it will be slightly harder to find a company that will pay you a good wage to make games for Linux. Although the market is out there, and you would do well to start now, there are not so many companies with specialists in designing games for Linux. Killer008, sounds like you will be making a lot of money in the future, good luck. Thanks for the poll and pinned and moved topic m^e, the demeographic view so far, shows that most people (that have voted) are School kids (I suppose it is High School (secondary), College or Uni).
  24. The graphics were not bad on the 360, and I was quite impressed. The PS3 results, I have not seen yet and expect it just to be a slight improvement on performance from the PS2 (with the added features). GameRevolution: as far as I am aware, there have been no OFFICIAL spoilers of what anything looks like except the actual console, as for this new controller, it sounds large and cumberson, I wonder how well that will go down with gaming fans. I actually liked the Nintendo GameCube, and believe it or not, 4" CD media can hold more than you think. If you read the articles given and the technical information, they can hold anything (depending on manufacturer) up to 4Gb of data storage. I have used several of these disks (for burning music and such) and they are quite neat. They work in any player/disk drive and for me, are much better than their larger 8" counter-part. It is either the 360 or PS3 that comes out 3 hours after the other one, which is slightly conning of the one that gets released last, because even a short gap like that, puts some question into peoples mind's about performance and system specs.
