It will not be positive (again ) but true (again ). So let's go: 1. Gray vs. yellow (is it yellow? some kind of pastel). You can't make such a drastic change in colours! I mean the sides (the revesed U) are dark gray, and the middle is pastel?? Don't mix it so much! Even dark gray and white would be better! 2. The 'hover' of links in the left menu. Here... here you crossed the line! One thing is that the links are black, and the background is dark gray. It must change!! But another thing is that you change the link on hover into red!! You can chardly see anything there! I mean the colors just mix together, and you can't read anything red writen on mixed gray... Change it let's say to light gray (the text), and then on hover make it white! I don't know if it will work with the bacground, but if not, darken the bacground picture! 3. Transparent pictures. When they are well used, i'm totally for them! But when they are not, they just use very, very lousy! Whay i mean? The google sign on the top... The dinosaur on the left (i mean very colorfull thing on mixed gray...)... The 'Tirol' sign with white borders... Man! These gotta go! Either put them into frames, or consider changing the bacground for them, and use the background as the filler of transparency! I know, i know - again i wrote only negative things... I can say that i like the new design better if that satisfies you But these things i wrote, have to go! Pity that i don't have time to make my own version of your layout, cause i would. I'm not saying i'm great at it, but showing you what i mean would be better than just describing it. With any comments PM me. Hey.

I've tested a few of Linux distros, and sticked to Mandrake. It's easy, works with all my hardware, there are many sites that have rpm's pprecompiled for Mandrake... Much to say - just test it, and i believe you will never stop using it. Another thing is that many people use Mandrake and they can help you if you've got a problem. As for the apps... Well there is a list of equivalents beetwen WIndows and Linux. Check it and i believe you will find there everything you need. The table of equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux.

I don't believe the real tv idea will come to live, but i do love it Especialy after this viodeo where (as i remember) Windows 98 was presented and it crashed :)Another thing is that i've met few let's say workers of Microsoft that use Linux as their main system, and the same goes with Linux users using Windows... And i'm 100% sure that Bill used Linux not only once! I'm sure they've tested it, and are thinking 'how the hell can we get that functionality'

Meny users write about 'upgrades' as a con for laptops... Of course - you can't upgrade a laptop, but why would one need that? Let's say you buy a laptop now. You'll probably get a 3.0 MHz processor, but one with a good graphic card, and that's all! If you'll need a larger HDD you can change it to a bigger one! If you'll need a larger amount of RAM, you can get more! And you probably won't need a faster processor for let's say 3 years from now, and the graphic card should hold for even longer!There is one thing that can break everything that i've said. If you need the computer mostly for gaming - a desktop would be a better choice. But if you work on it as much as play - choose laptop! I'm working on mine, and i play on it casualy. It's an old model, but still i find it good for games!It's all up to your needs.

There is a slight problem, and it was even mentioned by someone. O tried downloading a whole section about pl/sql from techonthenet sites, and used teleport pro for it. Teleport pro is great, and i've used it many times before. But this time there was another problem - not the app itself.Normal website copiers work like this - they get a page, scan for links, and get sites that are linked, including images and everything else. Where the problem lies? The problem is that the problem generates http calls very fast and frequent. And a server that you receive from notices it! So one can think that it's a DOS attack (very fast and frequent calls to server to load it up fully), and cuts off the IP address that the calls from.That happened to me on techonthenet So be carefull about it...

Don't be so happy about it. It may look nice. It may even feel nice. But think about how it should work? Get your graphic card to do it, and you'll be pissed with seeing how the windows change bit by bit, and doing it in few seconds taking your precious time.Thow fings that worry me - one as i mentiones is the speed how it should work, because 3D calculations are really expensive for the computer. Second one is also connected with speed. Java. I have to say i really do like Java! But it has the biggest flaw of all - it is slow and hardware consuming! And connecting 3D with Java... I don't think i would have time to wait for all this to happen on my screen...

The biggest number of problems concerning Windows XP SP2 is connected to it's new internet security policy - the build in firewall. And what goes with that, mostly the programs using network connections may be failing or will stop responding. But in most cases you can set the firewall in a proper way, so the programs would start. Some programs that may work inpropertly are listed on these Microsft sites: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/842242 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/884130

Heh... Funny thing that you write something like this (an app like this one) can be distributed for free. FOr few months now i've been taught that getting something interesting from weblogs (or any large portion of data) is available only by using data mining, and the process of data mining is made mostly by large applications like MS SQL Server with it's Analysis Services, or SAS Systems. Both cost a lot - and i mean a lot especialy in case of SAS Systems.I don't know if raw statistics can say you anything, but mayby they can... The problem is that sometimes you can get lost in these statistics, and guess something wrong by just assuming something. If you have the facts (logs are your facts) you should use them wisely. And data mining is the way! Not statistics...

THe problem is you've stated only few computer manufacturers - there is no Toshiba, there is no Macintosh...Another thing is that my voice will be based upon using laptops, cause i've never worked on a normal PC that was manufactured by any company - all were build from parts.So for laptops i choose DELL - great insides, altgough the laptops are heavy and the look might not be so great and astonishing. I never had problems with it (though something is ticking in it for some time now...) and everything runs smoothely.I also worked on TOSHIBAs - very good too, but i never liked their harddrives because they make a lat of noice.None of my friends had problems with Compaq laptops (and i have few friends who have them) so i believe they are good too.But if i was to switch my laptop again, i would look for a DELL one.

Maybe something/someone buzzed in your BIOS settings. Some BIOS's do have an option of turning on/off the LPT ports. So go into your BIOS (hit DEL while the post is on - the black screen at the begining of turning the computer on), and search there.And in fact - sometimes software can change the BIOS settings, so it could be done if someone dissagrees.

Sorry - there are none... At least from what i know. I've looked for something like this for quite a long time i have to say, and found nothing. There is something like flash for linux, but i can't find it now. Anyway i'm not even sure if it was free, and for sure it was lousy and in early beta versions. There are many much cheaper solutions than the original Macromedia Flash, that are fully functional, and easyli you should find those. The only free thing for flash that i found, was a ActionScript editor Sepy, but that's hardly what you asked for... If you manage to find any write here or even PM me

Replying to your questions: Have your anti-virus failed? Every one does! But sometimes people don't see it and think that everything is ok. are you full of trojans? hopefully not, because i tend to scan my computer with different software once at a time. although i have a troyan - it's called windows But the application... I don't think it can work easily. Why not? DIfferent things change - in the registery, files change, settings in apps (and that results in change in the registery or in files). If i had to accept every change that is made on my computer, i'm sure i would freak out! And how are you supposed to know if a change made is done by the virus or by the system? Windows does change lots of things on the run, and most of the time you can hardly tell what these changes are for! And backing up settings, and being sure everything is backed up and safe... That's imposible! You would have to back up all your data, and store them safed somehow... I just don't know how... And it's not just me - the problem is one of the biggest safety problems! Oh! And as for now, and my computer - the site doesn't work...

SilentWarrior is right - all you have is links.But although the template is nice, i would have something against it :D1. There is left space beetween the gray blocks...Try reducing it because it takes space and is useless.2. The content space is too little...You can't throw layout over content! And there is too much layout in oyour page. Considering that the content will be in a very thin place, and people will have to scroll it all the time... Than ain't gonna work - internet is full of websites, and when people use a bad one (or tireing, like your's might be with this little space for content, and all the time scrolling) they instantly close it!Hope to be helpfull...

I believe 'the owners' have so many requests for 'something' that they already know what people want. And i don't think this post will change anything on Xisto, because it's hard to say what they don't have - it's up to you how you use it! But to be precise, and answer your question - uptime is the most important, because what's the use of bandwith or huge amount of space, when the server is down? The second is the contact between the administrators and the users (i may not be hosted, but i see that there is something like this, because all the people get e-mails about some changes or etc.). It's important that users should know what's going on with the service.

Pros: Colours... Nicely matched, you keep them the same on the whole site, and that's great. Logo... Looks like a proffesional logo. And you use it well - one knows that one is still on the same site. Cons: The start page... How should anyone know which button to hit? Or even more - how should one know that one should hit a button?? Show in someway, that the buttons at the bottom are hyperlinks. The content... The scrolling arrows are glued together (odd!!), and are to small - one has to be very precise to get on them... And again - as far as they are together i didn't know that there was a scroll there... (by the way - i'm using Firefox 1.0). Spacing... Try to make some more space for the content section, because all the time someone must scroll it (and even more - as i said it is hard on your site). Affiliates section... One thing - reduce the height of the 'navigation' section (cause it's too big, and there is free space left), make the 'affiliates' section heigher, and loose the automatic scrolling of it... Conclution Quite good. I like it... But make the content section bigger, and better scrolled.
