  1. I really hate Windows Genuine Advantage or the Genuine Validation System/Program. Every time I want to download a program from Microsoft i'd sy 75 percent of the time I have to do this all again. IVE DONE IT BEFORE. Its just like I have to download two programs to get one, yes, thatsx exactly what it is. I hate it! I hate it!
  2. Mzlingling, thats not hard to believe at all. Many of us go on Google 20+ times a day if we are researching something. Google is even my homepage. Its not hard to go on Google alot if you are information hungry or you just want to utilise thier great tools. Google has everything, right?
  3. I didn't mean put out of business in a money or business sense, I mean no one would download Ubuntu from their site anymore, just the Google tweeked version. I wouldn't mind if Google and Ubuntu teamed up. That would be awesome.
  4. I was just reading about this on Digg, Slashdot and TechCrunch, Newsvine, everywheres running this story. I can tell this is going to be big. I've got to confess: i'm a sinner to the name Google. I have not yet downloaded Google Talk. Now I think i'll be using this online version quite alot. Its just a shame no one uses it really, but I suppose this will give it a huge boost in popularity and people will start using it. I just hope theres a disable option, as maybe some people don't want people constantly being able to message them, eh?
  5. My thought on the first post:So?Tell me why I should care if Google release a modified Ubuntu. I hope I don't sound too arrogant, but it wouldn't be that great. It would be Ubuntu packaged with all of Googles products. Sure, it may have a few tweeks to make it better, but basically it would just be like Google pack. Its a pack of Google products to get you to use thier products.I mean, it would shove Linux into the public eye, which is overall a good thing for Google to do, but, I mean, no one will use it. If they do, it will put Ubuntu out of business with everyone just downloading Google's supposed better version, when really its just a bunch of software they've deved. Google can use it if they want... Do us a favour though, don't release it.My two cents.
  6. Well, PHP is the in thing pretty much right now and Xisto supports it, so its a pretty good option. First though, I strongly advise you learn HTML. Don't just skim over it or brush up on it. Read all the tutorials for HTML and CSS at HTML Dog. The reason for CSS is that, if you ever want to make a good website and complying with standards, not using tables (which is a good thing), you need it. So, once you've learn HTML and CSS, i'd say its time to learn PHP. The best PHP tutorial out there is the PHPBook, from hudzilla.org. This long book will take time to complete, yet do not skip any of it. I was very tempted to skip some to get to the good bits, yet I wouldn't of understood them if I did skip. Finally, learn CSS using the PHPBook too. It teaches it pretty well. Hope I helped.
  7. Uuugh. This just basically means more spam for us right? I mean I wouldn't mind if it was like $1 an email, it would put them out of business, but it seems like we'll all be getting spam again, just like the old days. Am I right? - By the way, I hope Google doesn't follow this. I mean, they do do no evil =P.
  8. I think Google, I also think the majority of replys will say Google. I mean nowdays not many people use AOL or MSN and when they do its often becasue its their browsers default search engine. Google is quite obviously winning the search engine 'war' if you want to put it like that. Yahoo Search Google MSN Search Don't you think they all look abit similar? They all copied off Google, aside from Google that is. I mean, its all the same layout that Google so famously got famous off. The simple Links above search bar and options to the side. The only extra thing Yahoo! has added is the junk at the bottom. My two cents, I guess.
  9. I'm with GMail for one reason: I like to be able to keep all my email and never throw it away. Is it just me, or does GMail really succeed in doing that, you know? Not ever making you throw stuff away. I also use it for GDrive or whatever it is, to store some files. Which is pretty cool.Also, when did AIM get email? I thought it was just AOL.
  10. Nvu is not actully an FTP program. Its a web program that can FTP files you create in the Nvu program to a server, hardly useable as a full FTP program. Its a pretty good program if you use it what its for, i've used it before, its got some cool features and stuff. If you're looking for a real FTP program try here.
  11. I use CuteFTP personally, and thats really cool, but you have to pay for it so its not what you are looking for. For a free FTP client I would highly recommend Filezilla for Useability and Portability, as you can put it on your USB drive too. If your a newbie to FTP and stuff though, i'd recommend SMartFTP as I find it more newbie friendly.You can also try some online FTP clients. Try net2ftp.com and web2ftp.com (Recomend the former)
  12. Twitch, I am really sorry. After reading your posts anyone could realise that your a really coll guy, who is helpful and tries his best. I lost my Dad, I know what it feels like. I'm really sorry.
  13. 1) Counter Strike: Source Its just a damn good game. Theres an awesome choice of guns, the graphics rock and there isn't many hackers. You can always find a good game in less than two minutes and its what lots of people play. 2) Doom 1 Its oldschool, just damn cool. 3)America's Army Pretty much the same reasons as Counter Strike: Source, plus a few hackers. 4)James Bond: Nightfire I love playing with all the gadgets. 5)The rest of James Bond Again, the gadgets really get me. So cool!
  14. It depends kinda, in a wierd way. I don't mind either KDE or Gnome, yet i'd say I like KDE abit more. In the short time i've messed with Linux i've found it incredibly useful to be able to hide the menu and the way its like Windows. Yet Gnome is special in its own ways, like its small and slick. I'd go for KDE Overall.
