  1. If you have problems with bad sector, your physical drive will start to deteriorate. Usually when the windows system files touches any areas with bad sector, it will totally destroys booting. Both bad sector and boot sector errors are pains of the neck. What you need to do, download BartPE Portable CD Booting Windows so that all your files on the hard drive can be recovered. Actually, it is good to have it on hand since it is compose of 3rd party freeware and open source software that could help you with diagnosis in hardware and software.
  2. I stick myself with the 90s and 2000 era in music. The genre I do love to listen so much is NU-Metal. Yeahm its a bit loud for my age but I feel so much comfortable with all the screams and distorted Drop D string. For once, the combo between rap and rock seems to mix well and for the extremes, my driving has never been that exciting. Here's my favs bands! great 1st and 2nd albums.. newer is not much the inspiration though. 1. Korn2. Tool3. A Perfect Circle4. Limpbizkit5. Mudvayne6. Slipknot7. Eminen8. Factory 819. Black Light Burns10. Sound Garden
  3. heres my list.Firefox 3 - internet browserVLC Player - DVD and other video format playerAVAST Home - One of the best freeware antivirus on the planet FFDSHOW - Audio/Video Decoder that extends what your Media player can doutorrent - Micro-mini Torrent client for safe P2PBricopack Win Vista Inspirat - Makes XP look Vista without the bloatInfraRecorder - CD/DVD burning softwareMirandaIM - IRC/Messenger Software All these I install to all my system and it perfectly works well even on my older machine running on Pentium 3 with 256mb RAM! Whats nice about it is that it has all the features needed for almost any job. The rest, I would go for the commercial software... There is no better alternative than the original like:MS Office vs Open Office - Open office suffers compatibility and user friendliness Corel Draw vs Inksacpe - A lot of the tools is still needed and shortcut controls to be consideredPhotoshop vs Gimp - Well, photoshop is photoshop and with all the plug-ins... Its worth the investment
  4. I do love the fact that these players can do especially with VLC that could play DVDs on its own but the fact remain that the real deal would be its decoder. which is what FFDSHOW can handle most formats so that the native media player could run most format without bloating too much program in your system.
  5. I do come from a very catholic and muslim religious country and in many ways, influences me and my being a person. Yes, now that I am also an agnostic, part of me still has fears of dying. Though I already have kids, I give them the independence of choosing their beliefs. There is nothing wrong about religion and beleiving or disbeleiving God. The only point of its existence is because people need some sort of a barrier to keep them reminded about social norms which prevents them from being insane or lawless like other animals. Probably in my later years, I will searching for a religion which will comfort me on my last hours. It would be painfull but, as what Darwin "I am not in the least afraid to die."
  6. On most cases, Battery on a brand new laptop dies out after a yearor two of use. This is really normal and if you are still on warranty, replace it ASAP. I have a friend who is A+ on electronics and he makes this improvised battery pack using 2pcs Lithium Ion Power Bar placed on a the casing of the battery pack with all the cells removed. Powerbar It fix so well on the pack and it even last longer than the original batteries.
  7. Um um... I don't know what to say. I belong to those people with bad grammar. Except for spelling. I am using Firefox and I have this red line when I write down wrong spelling. Now, next time, I'll just be brief to what I am writing down. This time, I have no excuse. Been a admin in my forums before, Its not that strict since almost everything is allowed from foul words and all. I love this peaceful place.
  8. 1. Dead or Alive - Nice chics, good graphics and gameplay!2. Rival School - Another good game I like. The concept is good but I dont know why it ended up in the sack3. Marvel Fighting Series - Great gameplay, fast and a lot of excitement even from its 2D predecessors4. Street Fighter Series - Nothing beats the original5. Samurai Showdown Series - Best Sword fighting game I have yet played, Nice storyline and gameplayNot on the list is Mortal Combat - I didn't love the concept of gore fighting, extremely violent even from its fist release. Tekken - I dont know, I just didn't like the way they have cloned Virtua Fighter, but I didn't like the concept of boxing like fighting game either(my opinion only).
  9. This seems to be a pretty good alternative. Or it would also be nice to have an edu with a .ph which is the country of origin of the school, darn, I never think about that in the first place. This one I could do. All I have to do now is to get more credits. I do think building a school site is good. Profitable in many ways. Not only because you could build a network of people on campus but also Alumnus members, friends could reunite. Some kind of dual purpose. Yet still. If theres a better way like still getting the .edu, suggestions are still open.
  10. I do not think that ROX exist.. The next in line would be ragnarok online 2. It was quite a delay in its release from its announcement way back in 2004. It has been in beta stage since 2006. Such delay pisses off much of the avid fans of Ragnarok Online fans. In RO2 South East Asia (English), it was to be open back in summer, but still further delays kept fans from even getting the feel of whats ahead. Probably because Ragnarok 1 still has quite a lot of users and this more could divide attention to those who are already on top. RO2 South East Asia
  11. How much is the server population? I do hope that real people populate the sever, not bots.
  12. I recently stumbled upon using OSX on regular PC.. I know, this is old school but before when I tried PearPC, It was so darn slow, I didnt get to install it. My desires to tryout OSX came to me again and tried to look for new alternative, and so it was, OSX86 from this site http://www.insanelymac.com/. I read on most of there forum but I still wonder how fast does it boot and can most application run flawlessly. Never get to join their forum though, I dont want to get the impression of being a lamer. But does anybody here have already tried it. I do want to hear about the performance and compatibility. Please also describe which distribution you use and the specs of the system you had used. Thanks
  13. great site. nice colors. but I don't get it. Why on earth will I need such service. Unless I'll be doing things illegal. Anyway, I click on your google ads for being a sport and I got a perfect color motif on my next site.
  14. I have also tried globaltestmarket.com It seems that after a month, I only two surveys and still pennyless ever since and I dont think that $12 is enough for being a member for almost two years. Such scams that these site bring. How can they cash in on us?
  15. Paypal is much more of a standard. I love the service and its fast and easy right now because merchants can now accept credit card payment directly without using other gateways or application. Whats cool is that its easy to build site that accepts payment or ask payment from anyone. I don't about the negative review since its useless to subscribe to other online payment schemes that could only steal much of your money.
  16. Its not that I want create a fake site or anything. Im doing this as a favor to my friend, now, the principal of the high school department of a school. It actually is existing for for more than 60 years now with complete primary and secondary education but they still didn't have enough standards for a University. They have a website, I don't know who made it but its kinda old too and un-updated. http://www.tripod.lycos.co.uk/ . Too bad, I could make it a little bit better.
  17. I also have a lot of tabs open and it doesnt show problems with those. I have freshly formatted and updated Windows Installed in the system, so there should be no OS related concerns. It seems that it has eaten a lot of memory when using it with sites that has flash on it. It is always the pages with flash got some problems. I have the same problems with firefox before when it was ver 1.5.xx
  18. Great game. did tried it out.. still on the lower level. Whats your race and name?
  19. Looks like I am classified to be one of those who hasn't felt good lately. Actually, thats the metal part of it, which is great to exercise a positive feeling so that everything else flows like air. There are always 3rd party distractions involve and there is no way that could be reversed like, physical health, home economics, environment and the people around you. Its just lucky to have a very pleasant a positive day. Not all of these shrinks experience so much struggle in their lives that could guide us to do something we always feel like doing. What I like to do it to get a friend, a very good friend, do something crazy, and everything will be fine, you'll feel a little bit more positive in life.
  20. Hey, linux is not a walk on a park OS like Windows. I have invested some amount of time to it and yet until now, Im still not quite familiar with all the install commands and the rest of the packages that needs to be installed. Its pretty much confusing when choosing a lot of flavors and distribution since not all Linux software runs easily like the EXE file in DOS/Windows. You need to learn a couple of installation methods or if you have a good internet connection, then your OK. Then you'll realize that working on linux means you'd become incompatible with the rest of the world that runs Windows softwares! Im not discouraging you or anything, its just the way it is..I suggest you try Ubuntu! It has good compatibility with everything. All the fancy stuff works and you can now brag around using something different other than a Mac and Windows. Yet, better stay with Bill. He's a good guy.
  21. I know a little about domain name and such that you need to buy em, but later on, I realize there had been two known top level domains that was not in the option. I googled it up and still nobody is selling it or such. Then got to read some info about you need to http://net.educause.edu/edudomain/ for eligibility and so I went there. God, it there a better way than reading some bunch of text and a whole lot of paperwork to be done, which I do hate the most. Is there like a godaddy version of it.
  22. excellent.. i love to try this one. post back as soon as i set it up. thanks guys
  23. I have this bunch of computers at home with users; my wife, my kids and one on the garage and my laptop with two of my desktop with different uses. I was wondering if theres a remote desktop software out there that I could use on my local network the has the same functionality as Windows Remote Desktop. One thing that I dont like about Windows Remote desktop is that i need to supply an password for those PC i would want to connect. I don't like passwords!Second, I could not be able to collaboratively use the desktop with the current user. It goes to this logout screen. How could I possibly help someone in my family if he/she could not see the things Im doing.I dont want to just try out softwares available since it is mostly web based and I just want a local one. So If you could give suggestions or software that you've already tried, thanks.
  24. Freeware Here is what I tested.Avast - Free and does not give you any ads while you register it for free. Does not ask for anything and does a lot of things other that scans, I protects you from worms, trojans and stuffs, there is a weakness in its real time scanner though which gives virus an opportunity to overrun the program. It updates frequently which is neat.AVG - Same goes with Avast but it does not have a very powerful scanner, a lot of scenarios were worms and trojans got to my PCs. It has a cool webscanner(link scanner) which checks for site before getting to it. Updates frequently too. But slows down my PC a bit that can be noticeable at times. Avira - One of the best Antivirus out there that really removes what needs to be removed. It finds even those recent virus I have even if it was not updated frequently. It also has a fast real time scanner. One con about it is that the free version keeps showing their ads about the latest version of their commercial antiviruses. what pisses me off is that there are a lot of this not included on the free version like; anti worms and trojans.All in all.. average users like me should be getting one of the 3.. Anyway, it will still never guarantee a 100% protection. Even with commercial ones.
  25. Im not a very professional when it comes to how nice one's engine does but one thing I don't like about Chrome beta is that i crashes a lot. Especially with flash oriented sites. A lot of site also does not render well, I do hope that this would not be like this on its future release. Usually when I view youtube and yahoomail, everything crashes like hell. I switched back to firefox as soon as possible, who needs speed with comfort. Probably when its ready. I love the interface though. neat and clean. Sad thing it that it depends on Windows Internet Connection Settings.Im using Chrome Beta on WinXP SP2
