There are some songs that everybody just can't forget. I hear them all the time on the radio (that's NYC's z100 and KTU, whatever number that is). They are a mix of old aand new songs. So here's my list:-We Be Burnin' (Sean Paul)-Temperature (same as above)-Everytime We Touch (Cascada)I just can't get these songs out of my head. They sort of drive me nuts when I hear them. Music these days is weird.

Firefox != Gmail (!= means "not equal to") And now we do have Google Pages, basically a nice little service for making non-interactive web sites. pages.google.com

If you want to set up a web host of your own, with multiple sites, like here at Xisto, I suggest you buy a cPanel license (http://cpanel.com/). Sure it is expensive, but it will allow you to set up and maintain shared hosting accounts much more easily. If you want to see cPanel in action, it's in use right here. If you are hosted here, log in to your cPanel, and explore all of it's wonderful features. When you install cPanel on your server, it will automatically set up Apache, some FTP, POP and SMTP servers, as well as Bind DNS server. Basically, it transforms a machine into a powerful web server.

Yes! I finally found a version of Opera that is free and doesn't have ads. I downloaded Opera a long time ago, but ditched it in favor of Netscape 7.2 (more on that later.....). It looks pretty much the same as the other version of Opera I used, but has a few less things in my face. I do want some more things from Opera: AOL instant messaging and a way to move the tab bar below the address bar. Other than those things, it's one fast and slick browser.

I haven't really played any sport, but I enjoy skiing. It doesn't require a ton of energy, or make you sweat up a ton, but heck is it expensive (varying prices at differentmountains, plus all your gear), and in some cases, not that close to home (although Camelback, in Pennsylvania, claims that the 2 hour or so ride from NYC is short, and I agree).

I sort of like this service. There are no ads (yay!) , it has a nice clean interface, and I think 1 GB of storage is enough for a while. Sure, Gmail can sorta be used for storage, but it's not that efficient, as it was designed as a mail service, not a file storage service. For the meantime, I will use Box part time.

Ah, yes, Apples's latest toy. I suppose that many people, assuming they here of it, will get around to using it. But for the most part, I expect nerds/geeks/sys admins to play with it, hack at it, and just ingeneral play around with it. Of course, I don't own a Mac (behold I have a nice HP), so I won't be getting anywehre near that program anytime soon. I also read somewhere about someone getting a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) on a Mac running Window$ (here's the link: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/).

I waited aout two months or so I think. But as far as I can tell, it's well worth the wait, especially if you are a marketing-type person. I mean, there are so many businees-oriented reports, and so little really webmaster-focused reports (despite there being a section on the navbar for webmasters).

Currently I use StatCounter (http://statcounter.com/; free with max log size of 100 hits), and just last night did I get my invite code for Google Analytics (https://www.google.com/analytics/; also free, with up to around 5 Million hits/month I think). After using Google Analytics for just about two nights, I have discovered that it's way fancier than StatCounter, and takes some difficulty in doing things that I can do very quickly in StatCounter. But as I said, it is more fancier and therefore more capable.

It's only fair that I add my 2 cents, before every single member posts here. I think that it is a little strange of OpaQue to create that new forum name. I wonder what Free-webhosting.com would think about that name.So, I think that what should be done at the very least is to only show that forum to registered members (which I know is possible, I've seen it done with phpBB so surely IPB must support that), so that potential customers (and Xisto's biggest refferer) won't go bye-bye right away.I mean, just think about it: a new visitor comes to the site. He sees "Trapped in ****". He thinks, "This is Web hosting?" And there he goes, looking for another host, potentially causing you to lose money he might have paid at Xisto - Web Hosting if he didn't want the free hosting of Xisto, or needed to go on vacation for a while.So it all boils down to this: Use the word, lose the money.

And here comes the good part. Aplle has recently released software (called Boot Camp; currently in beta, available as an 83 MB download from their site) that guides you with installing a licensed copy of Windows XP in your Intel-based Mac. Basically, it gives you a CD full of drivers for the Mac hardware components, prints an install guide, and partitions your hard drive. You then insert the Windows XP CD and install it. Sounds simple, eh? I bet it's not.

According to my school's 'marketing', the teachers are very dedicated. and I sort of agree. Yet the kids in my class still drive them nutso. What I like about my school (for now or forever): -Our computers are laptops -We get to go to 7 Eleven and Baskin Robins every so often -It's in a nice area -Not as much work as in other places And what I don't like: -Work (obviously) -My english teacher giving us endless amounts of homework (for example, we have to do TWO DBQs - PM me if you want to know what those are - over Passover vacation) -Not enough time with a computer (two 40-minute periods a week is not enough) -Lack of public transportation to school (I used to take the city bus to school, which I really liked doing - I didn't have to deal with all of the loosers in the younger grades) That's a typical list of complaints (except for the one about buses lol). But overall, I like my school.

My neighborhood is generally safe. We have about 2/3 Chinese, some Russians, and a nice handfull of Jews. It's generally quiet around here, but on my street there are cars coming by every few minutes, with their blaring stereos playing at pretty high volumes (almost high enough to hear clearly from inside your house with the windows closed).BTW This is my 360th post!

I'm your typical teenage computer nerd (OK, maybe not sooooo typical ). I run a web site, I post here, I read tech news. So here's what I am trying to accomplich on Xisto: -Spread my belief in hybrid buses (especially the Orion VII hybrid, which we use here in NYC) -Get my wonderful free hosting -Make a few friends (which I desperately need) -Get away from the rest of my life (ex. school, family, etc.) -Occupy unused time -Find free stuff -Learn more in general about computers But all in all, I hope to help expand this community ever more than it is already. Great job OpaQue!

As far as most normal email messages in your inbox are concerned, nobody reads your email. The ads are the same as the Google ads you see on web pages, which are computer analyzed and picked.

These guys (some of them anyways) can be real jerks sometimes. The real problem is that this assignment is a WEEKLY thing, and for some reason or another, the guys like manipulating my teacher's forgetfulness (he's not an idiot, BTW, in fact he's rather strict sometimes). I thank you all for the fact that you agree with me on that if I have homework to be given in, then I should give it in and not care whether or not I will be pushed around. One of these days I will be angered to the point where I will simply eiher start beating the **** of of them (I bleeped that four-letter word, I'm not really known for using bad language) or just run out of the building and take the railroad home. The rabbi I mentioned above is a very nice man. He mostly sided with me on this I should mention. He was a principle in another high school before too, and he has pretty much devoted his life to our 30 some-odd students' education.

I don't really have much of a social life , and I agree that they can act very childish at almost every point in the day (except when they are out playing basketball). If you saw these guys, your head would fly off (almost literally). It seems that they care more about sociability (which get you friends) than grades (which get you into a good college).

Here's my problem. My english teacher wants us to write four pages of 'journal entries' per week (not everytime he collects them). So the kids in my class didn't realize the every week part, and figure that they can just save the entries until the next week. That however, did not work, because one week I decided to hand in my journal while the rest of the class (all of 6 other guys, not including me) had not done their entries, and therefore got no credit for the four entries of the week (and probably 2 or 3 previous weeks that he had not collected the journals). The rest of the week, they all started to drive me nuts. They would pretend that I was not there (figuratively) - they would say things like "Why is Michael's bag here if he's absent?" and if I would talk they would say something like "Who just said that?" and also they would go around telling everyone that the school is haunted (I hope you know why after you read this post).I spoke to my principle and the teacher who both said that I am doing what I am supposed to do by giving in my homework. The hebrew principle however, stated that I am 50%/50% right/wrong. He argues that yes I am supposed to give in homework, but if it will get my classmates mad at me, then I shouldn't have done it.Any suggestions? My new policy is to give in the work after everyone leaves the room at the end of the period

There is a script for both Windows and *nix servers called ZPanel (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/), but it's not nearly as powerful as cPanel. Basically, it's about 30 MB of PHP scipts that you copy to your public_html folder (or whatever) that can manage users and their web hosting features (there's this WebFTP thing, phpMyAdmin, a script autoinstaller, and some other stuff which cPanel is either just as good or better at). It happens to be free, but it's not open source. Also, check out InsPanel (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/), which costs $500, and works on Windows. It has slightly hefty requirements (including IIs, not Apache), but I'm sure you can manage to fulfill these requirements. There is also CubePanel (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/), which has a free light version and a very low price for the full version (I don't fully understand their licensing, so I won't quote any numbers here). I'm sorry to say but this one also needs IIS to run. Basically, the only thing here that will fit your case is ZPanel.

For you to properly run and manage a shared hosting server, you should probably invest in a cPanel license (http://cpanel.com/) for your sever. It's just not very possible for someone to run a web host without a product like this. Also, you need a cPanel signup script, which you can find on Hotscripts (try this script: http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/web-hosting-tools/) to allow your users to set up a hosting account on your server. Sorry that it's a ton of money to spend, but that's my best solution.

In Mambo/Joomla, a ton of design possibilities are hidden in the template_css.css file. You can find style classes for just about every letter on your site (with the exception of pages produced by components). And you can use a different template for different areas of the site. The abilities of a design system only relates to how many things can be styled. If you sketch out a template design on paper, I bet that if you know enough HTML and CSS (and maybe Javascript) you will be able to produce a template that's one of a kind, and is pretty much exactly what you dreamed of. Now just be aware that, yes, you do have to follow certain guidelines while designing a template, but ultimately, it's up to you on how your template looks.

I've seen deals from Verizon where you get a free wireless router wen you sign up for their DSL service. I don't know the specific details of your router, but it would be in the admin console (as noted above, at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/). If you give me the exact model of your router/modem, I could probably find a manual for it on the manufacturer's web site (which happens to be [url http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/). Regarding the quote above, Verizon does distribute modems (Westell branded ones, I think 2200 series or something like that) that have a network-accessible admin console, which can be accessed at 192.168.1.1. I can confirm this based on the fact that I have actually played with one of those modems before.

Correction on this post: Anyone can now edit their posts.

I was lucky that my site made it to Google, but after I changed my domain, it went bye-bye for around a month now. Before typing Mesivta of Roslyn into Google brought up my site as the first result, but now, after changing it to an addon domain, it doesn't come up. Oh well.

The whole base behind AJAX is the XMLHTTPRequest() JavaScript object (implemented in almost every browser aside from IE, in which case you use an ActiveX object, which I think is MSXML.XMLHTTPRequest). You need a fairly good understanding of JavaScript and the XMLHTTPRequset() object before you can really make an AJAX app. See this article on IBM's web site for more on developing AJAX apps.
