    Its just the sound of reading a harddisk. You must have gotten those harddisk with loud reading speed from seagate. There's no problem with you harddisk. If you want to be safe. Do a chkdsk in command prompt and check for bad sector. Chances are your harddisk is fine. Solution will be change a new harddisk from hitachi. Those are pretty silent. Tested and proven. Encounter such a sound in my new laptop too. ^_^

    Sony has confirmed that PSP users will be able to run Skype on their PSP devices, and make free calls to other skype users and free calls to landline users. The catch is, of course, that you'll have to be in range of a wifi connection to enable this feature. The firmware upgrade is expected to be released in a few weeks time, and will only be for the new psp slim, which was released last year.


    Why only PSP Slim?? ^_^ Currently owned a PSP generation 1 and bought a mic that able to plug into. Did read some articles that the currently PSP generation 1 are able to do a VoIP calls out with the upgrading of firmware. Not an official firmware though. BUt still haven't really got it to work.

    Flickr is a good choice also, it allows you to specify Creative Commons licenses for your photos, which in my opinion is a good thing for legal issues nowadays.

    Flickr is one of the best I've tried. And its amazing.. Uploaded all my 3000++ photos and never look back. Although I paid a yearly fee of $24, its worth it. Full resolution and looks of API which can be implemented in websites easier. Highly Recommand... Used sony imagestation and kodakgallery. Their paid service is not as good as Fickr.

    Is Hosting a World of warcraft server Illegal?I ask because I was playing and I spotted a ad for a server. I do not have anything to make it with but would like to know before I do anything.
    Thanks, Apez


    That's not illegal. But hosting world of warcraft needs a lot of configuration and it won't be crowded though, unless you recuit all your friends in. There's already quite a number of private server available to play with thousands of players. So just register and login. ^_^

    You can watch videos on YouTube, but you may want to save them off-line for later viewing, this is not possible by default. Although there is a free program that allows you to download videos from YouTube. The name of this program is YouTube downloader, download it from here > http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

     

    Some sites will give you a direct link to download the video, but this program just needs the video's URL in YouTube then it will save the video in either FLV, MPEG, or AVI file format for you. You may watch the videos downloaded in Windows Media Player. This program is adware, malware, popup, and registration free. It can also download from Google videos, and supports proxies.

    Nice.. However its a 14 days trial. Formally known as Youtube downloader. Anyway if anyone is using mozilla, then the add-on is faster and more convinence since youTube is from the web. ^_^

    Previously I got some error installing iTune as well as. After much searching in the net, the main cause was due to installing Quicktime Alternative in my computer. It detects that the version of quicktime installed was out-dated and with errors. The solution I did was to uninstall all codecs (with registry removed) and re-install iTune with quicktime. It works for me after that. You might want to try that. Or maybe the iTune itself is out-dated. Uninstall previous iTune+Quicktime+Codec and installed the latest. If not, then maybe its a virus or system error. Then Formatting of your system is unavoidable. Hope it helps

    Still, I'm curious why you reckon Zone Alarm don't offer a free version any more. It's by no means their full internet security suite, but a quick google search shows that they still have the Zone Alarm Free Firewall available to download. Just make sure you click on the basic firewall download instead of the 15-day trial link after you follow the "download now" button on the right.

    Just confirmed that Zone Alarm are still providing free Firewall, and just Firewall. If you are talking about the Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite, then you will need to pay. I've been using the Free Firewall version all along. Downloaded, upgraded and using the free firewall now. So you don't have to switch. ^_^

    I dunno. MacOS looks great, is rather easy to use, but it does lack the amount of freeware that is available for windows. If only Apple didn't remove the maxxus patch so we pc users could run MacOS too ^_^ (even if it were to try it out before buying one of those ridiculous expensive macbooks)

    Agreeded on the amount of Open Source program available for Windows comparing with Mac. Its rather expensive to maintain Mac as you would need to buy most of the software. But of course you like the slick of iBook, and the cool software, Mac will be the choice. However I would still choose Windows as I'm used to using some Open Source software that doesn't comes with Mac. Just some personal view. Cheers

    Just another cool program that stream some good quality online TV program. http://www.joost.com/pause/

    Like the interface and the list of programs available. If you are a fan of Sci-Friction show, then this would be good. Quite a number of that in the site. Its pretty active in the development and I guess that its going to have more channel added in the future. Worth a try out if anyone have high broadband speed. Cheers

    I second SnagIt's software and use both the screenshot capture and video capture feature. This is not a free program though. You can get the trial program at:
    https://www.techsmith.com/

    If you like it, I highly recommend buying it.


    You can actually use SngaIt for FREE. Its not a trial program. Just not a full feature one. Anyone if want, go to

    http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

    That is for version SnagIt 7.2.5. So the software you can download at

    http://www.oldapps.com/download.php?oldappsid=SnagIt725.exe

    I personally feel the great of USB 3.0 is not only for the high transfer speed comparing to USB 2.0. But the power that USB 3.0 provide will be awesome as well. For those 500GB 3.5" Portable Harddisk that need an additional power supply will no longer need with USB 3.0. I find it quite a hassle for my harddisk to another power supply. ^_^ But hopefully it will take off like USB 2.0. There are some technologies that never take off as in get popular in the market. eg. Bluetooth.

    Well, I rather go to work and get more money in a standard way ^_^

    Well, agreeded with you on that. You will definitely be getting more out of standard job rather than internet marketing. Currently the Internet seems like it runs on the Advertising Bubble. Everyone just seems to follow the wave but its not impossible to excel in this business. So if you are into serious internet marketing, you can maybe come out with your e-book and sell it online. That's how some people get bigger money from the Internet by Internet Network Marketing. It happen to someone I knew.

    By gaining massive traffics do helps too but not like $1000 a day. So you still need to have a product, not just a website. Just my 2 cent.

    Google doesn't use meta tags however to rank (I dont think they do at least). The only way to improve you listing on google is to have links onto your site. Google check how many link are directed at your site then calcuates some odd forumla to find you ranking.

    Anyway just to add-on, not only sites, but well-recongized sites and high ranked sites. These can get your site up to a higher rank. But that will be tough to get a link-back from those sites.

    Back to getting a better listing, I think it is against googles TOS to use "link farms" to get a higher ranking for your site but you might want to check that before you sign up for something that clames to get you ranked higher on google.

    Sounds interesting. Mind to explain more on 'link farm' techniques?

    Cheers

    I downloaded, is very small (44kb) and is running now.
    Could you tell us what is the behavior of the software, because is something weird to testing something without have a clue of what is cheking.

    At this time it restart my explorer, then, apparently, change to show the file extension of my files and reports that my hard drives are clean.

    Any other thing that we must to know?


    After running the program, it should tell you whether your system is clean. Basically if you use your Flash Drive like a floppy disk, plug in and out of systems. Then this software will be good for you. Nothing will happen except showing the result of the scan. Oh, and of course you will need to get the latest virus definition for this program. Anyway a link where you can try for anti-spyware on the Flash Drive.

    I know many peopl out there who don't how to get listed on google.The main thing you need is that by just sending your website on the add url page on google won't do it.I know lots of people still waiting to get listed by no page on google till now.I can give you an advice for start is to prepare your meta tag well as it is the key.You need to make a list on your meta keyword, description ect...You choose the best keyword for your website and if you get good keyword it better for your website.After making this you will need to search for a directory list with high page rank.Forum posting is also a good backlink.You will need to visit one by one directory and enter all these detail and choose the proper category or you will get rejected.If you have about 20 pr 6-8 in one day the next day you will get index on google for sure.I have myself tested it and it work fine.


    Actually adding your website URL to Google will fasten the process of getting listed but Google have some kind of bot that will scan the whole Internet for newly added website. For those people who are lazy, just concentrate on how to make your website to the higher position.

    Another tip for getting a higher listing on Google is by putting some words that are related to your META TAG but yet not those commonly used word. eg. don't just use 'Car', use 'Fastest Car' or 'Well Tuned Car'. I've heard that by putting Titles or Alt to all images help to bring your website to a higher listing on Google as well, but yet to confirm on these. No harm trying as its free if you don't want to pay Google for putting your website at the top.

    Backlink to those well-known site helps a lot to get a higher listing. Like those government or commercial sites. If you are really interested in getting your website on the top of Google, hire some SEO expert and they will do the job for you.

    all they would need to do was exploit the database so it could be remotely downloaded, then you would be able to open it up and look at the user name/passwords. Go back to the site and enter them in. I would recommend using php / SQL if you want it to be done securely.

    I think by exploiting the database is not by having what kind of database, rather how you work on your SQL structure, eg. one-way-hash all password for security. But in the first place, they need to get into the server to download the database. So if they do, then even MySQL can be downloaded.

    Or is there another easier way to exploit Access database compare to MySQL? Just curious. :rolleyes:

    Actually declare Y = new Array() is for the top level of the array, not a 2D array. So afterwhich you've declared that, you need to declare another array inside of Y. So like,Y = new Array();Y[0] = new Array();Y[1] = new Array();Then you are allow to put data into Y[0] array. eg.Y[0][0] = smith;Y[0][1] = smith2;Y[1][0] = john;Y[1][1] = john2;Now then you'll have a 2D array. I've gotten error not declaring new Array() for both cases. Hope this help. Cheers

    Building your own computer is actually quite easy, there's barely anything to it. You just need to know basics, what is what, and it's a breeze putting stuff together. Unless you have absolutely zero knowledge or interest in it, and then a preassembled computer is maybe better. But I will never buy a branded computer.... a waste of money.

    Yeah. My first 2 computer are from branded companies and they serve me pretty well for normal usage. However, if you are into extreme gaming, like sound surround with sharp smooth graphics, then I would choose my own specification. Current computer, my 3rd computer is a self assembled and it rocks. :rolleyes:

    The place I'm living in have a lot of wireless network protected and they are always on. Just thought of trying out the program you've mention and see whether it will work. Anyway its illegal here in my country and seems that now I hardly find any wireless network without WEP encryption. Seems that people get abit more technical here. :rolleyes: Anyway nice post. Cheers
