I was going to say that after using a desktop for 10 years, moving to a laptop is now a more feasible solution for me, just because I don't have a permanent address, and would like to create stuff on the go. Although I will have to agree with Mafamba Team's comment. Having both is the ideal setup, since a laptop is very expensive, and a cutting edge PC will always be cheaper.

This is very alarming.I've been deciding which setup to go to and this must be the third instance I've heard about phpBB getting SQL injhected (if that's a term being used now).So I guess I'm left with SMF then. Is there any other free forum out there that's noteworthy that anyone here can recommend?

It's something that will be a part of the Internet. We've seen it all and it definitely will be a part of how we use applications. In the future, I will not be surprised if there's a new service that will only be available in online form. Wait, that's already happened, and it's called GOOGLE. LoL.

Microsoft is good, in the sense that it provides people a benchmark to exceed on.

My dad uses a satellite phone to call me up, time to time, from guess what. The Sahara Desert. They are pretty cool devices, but signal acoustics should be improved if this is something that will be taking mass appeal. I can say that Satellite signals aren't much to talk about.

I don't get this discussion. Nothing wrong with putting up a site with no content? Hello! Everything is wrong with that kind of attitude! Of course, unless that's what you really intended to do, you're better off learning how Search Engines work.

One site that I have found useful is http://www.submitexpress.com/ where they submit your site to 40+ search engines right away, but of course, most people will only use no more than 5 different search engines in a month.

Google takes usually a few weeks to fully get your site indexed. Yahoo's servers are much faster.

It could be better, but I agree, there are a lot of websites out there specifically clansites that are too demanding. Yeah, they demand too much patience!

SimpleMachines 1.1RC2 is what I am using right now and in terms of functional usability, it scores pretty high. The only thing good about phpBB is the installtion, LoL.vBulletin, has a nice following, certainly you get the bang for your buck. Anyone here ever compared InvisionBoard to vBulletin? What do you think?

@OpethianIf Indians started making movies solely on Hinduism and ancient Indian history, how many Indians do you think will watch those movies. Movies are mostly meant for recreation and that's what people expect them to be. Of course, in the dawn of Indian Cinema, many movies were made about the epics Mahabharat and Ramayana (in Black and White of course) but then slowly, as cinema progressed, times changed.

I see your point but unfortunately, I don't see the logic of having the majority of movies have the same theme, which is the same-voiced women and dance numbers the size of Chicago (The Musical) in an exponential sense! It's one of those things that, you'd have to be an Indian to understand, I guess. Same goes for the Chinese and their martial arts, it's overkill!

But I'm getting off topic, my apologies.

That is some nice ActionScripting there! Although I had to click on the link to understand your topic...

pyost, I never got to where I am without enthusiasm and practice. If I can do it, I won't be surprised if you reach the same level as I am, or even surpass me if you have a hidden talent in you, hehe! Your photos are already on a par!

I'm one of the biggest San Antonio Spurs fan ever since I saw David Robinson make 50+ points in one game. I know it's nothing compared to Kobe's last explosion, but hey, he's still the admiral! LoL

I may be mean, but people like that aren't deserved to live in the street. They should be locked in a sheter/psychiatric ward until they get better. They will just attract the wrong attention and harm themselves in doing so.I may be mean, but I'm going to use a blowhorn in front of his/her face just to waker him/her up. LoL

You wouldn't believe what the other things out there are.The Internet has made information sharing an easy task, and because of this, you get a lot of garbage too, unfortunately.If you can think of something, somebody has probably done it, and to a degree, probably took photos, or even *gasp* captured some video footage.What am I talking about?Umm... it has something to do with hotdogs being used as projectiles...

I have read an article regarding LiNUX Gurus being the downfall of the OS itself. There are just too many newbies out there and a large portion of those newbs get shotdown apparantly for almost nothing at all.I think it's an elitist attitude, as being a person knowing a lot about LiNUX (pardon my spelling, LoL), they took the time to learn it, and probably have something in their life making them grumpy, like say their GF suddenly decided to go Vista... or sumthin... ;)Anyways, I think "no pain, no gain" applies here. You want to learn the best OS out there? You have to earn the respect then. Everyone starts out as a noob, in one form or another. I know I was, and somewhat still is, to a certain extent.

It's nice to see that there are DA's here as well! I am also a member of th community there and you view my works via the link at:

I use Terragen, Apophysis and several other forms of generating art. I find it very relaxing to create pieces and my favorite form of photography are nature scenes.

DeviantART surely is a goldmine for talented artists!

I tried Notepad2, NoteTab and even TextPad among the almost dozen free programs out there and nothing beats the effectivity of NotePad++. I am using it in an almost daily basis, the only limiting factor being that you can't create cool scripts internally with it. But the tabbed interface and the exclusion of a huge and confusing options menu leverages that out.

You can try all of those programs but I'll rather save you the trouble. :PThe best one so far, has been WinRAR for me. IZarc can be a good candidate, although 7-Zip exceeds it because it "feels" like a better overall package, although I have experienced lousy compression with 7-Zip at higher settings, rendering my archives useless.If space isn't that much of an issue, I will recommend the newest version of WinZip, it has the fastest engine out there!

This is a very rough request! There was a lie detector program available for mobile phone and I even had a friend that got into a ifhgt with his girlfriend (now his ex) because of this.There are several things that you may want to think about before requesting such a thing. First, how in the world will you be using something like this? Are you talking about guides on how to become a "human lie detector"? Second, what are you going to use it for? Maybe you're just paranoid hehe!

Damn those tiny balloons! I used to experience the same thing with several of my Generic MP3 players. It would tell me that the device was now ready to be used, hell I plugged it of course!

If and only if, the QWERTY keyboard was not so standard, I would have changed to the DVORAK keyboard a long time ago. Yeah, I was pretty much moved by the cartoons! LoLLers.

Yeah I agree on The GiMP. If we are talking about free programs, it's definitely the best out there in terms of graphics.

Where can I get Microsoft Frontpage express and a full version of a mpeg4 or avc converter?

 

And what is a good email program and a good website builder?

 

FrontPage Express is an outdated program, try going for NVU:

http://www.nvu.com/

 

Regarding email clients, I second Thunderbird:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/

 

 

I think you'd be better off with SeaMonkey since it has a built-in webeditor and a browser at the same time. Download it at:

You'll need to understand that you can't open EXCEL files in Photoshop ok?

SoftPedia.com has a lot of good reviews although I find it hard to believe their "No-Spyware" rating system. Worth a check though, since they really have their categories organized.
