  1. I am not really sure if moon colonization would be successful. Sure, if you put enough money into it, anything is possible but, would it really be worth it? There is no atmosphere on the moon so the sun will do more harm than good. Not only will no heat be held to keep the moon at a suitable temperature for human living but, also, the uv rays will penetrate easily to whomever occupies the moon so constant protection will be necessary, as well as constant heating. With resources here already becoming scarce, there is no way it should be shipped up there so we would have to have projects to find and then harness energy on the moon which probably would be one of the easier steps. I'm guessing some sort of bubble would have to be created for people to live in. There would have to be some cheap method of shipping not only people but, also food and other resources until things are established to be self-sufficient and even after I am sure people will want to go back and forth despite how expensive it will be. I'm not real sure whether the soil is safe to grow vegetation as it may have harmful chemicals so it may be hard to filter that out. There is a lot that would have to be taken into consideration before setting up a colony. It will be quite expensive despite the technology and the way the economy is it will be hard to fund without taking money from people who do not want to give it.
  2. I am currently watching Taking The Lead. I did not think i would like it because it looks like a typical Hallmark Movie but it's entertaining. A ballroom dancer decides he wants to teach morals and ballroom dancing to a bunch of kids in detention at a New York City high school where the kids are called rejects in life. Ends up being pretty funny and quite entertaining.The last movie I saw in theaters was Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Despite being quite a long movie it was fully action packed and kept my attention despite it being the midnight showing. In addition to the action, it had it's comedic moments as well which were a nice touch. I can't complain about seeing Megan Fox either. Overall a great movie, maybe needs a little cutting of the time though.
  3. I always enjoy days that the have a numerical pattern or some sort of numerical meaning from the date. Normally I forget though that the day is actually the day or the specific time will go by without my taking notice. That is why I really only pay attention to specific dates and not time such as Pi Day on March 14. Or the devil's day or whatever when it was 666 i got stock an hour out of town because my friend's truck broke down but, that is also the day my brother got his license so it can't be too bad cause he picked us up. I want to know what 122112 meant to the Mayans for them to believe it will be the end of the world but, i haven't done any research.
  4. I have had a few Dell laptops and also a Gateway over the past four years. I must say I think I prefer the Dell from what I got with my money. I use my computers a lot and my first Dell and Gateway had a lot of use. The Gateway though had power issues and I ended up buying multiple plugs since they continued to break and the battery, by the time I was through, did not last longer than 10 minutes, literally. The only reason why I had to buy it in the first place was due to the fact that my first Dell was stolen. I now am a Dell owner again though with my new laptop having no problems at all. I'll admit the first one slowed down in time but so did the Gateway because I had bought the cheapest ones and could not afford to buy ones worthy for gaming. The current computer I have though is capable of gaming and I was able to get a good deal on it so overall I am a happy customer for Dell.
  5. Ya but they also said that they are the only two left but that they had been meeting each other and had a relationship earlier on and meet up every hundred years or whatever so they could also bring it back to World War II times or even ancient times. There are limitless possibilities and I am sure they can come up with some other twist for the future on what it would be like for them to meet up again. They could have a baby or something and have a Hancock Jr and have his life as a powerful baby.
  6. I never really used the rating system once but I did notice that once someone receives their first rating that is automatically assigned to that user. If someone had a couple bad posts and someone rated them bad for it once that basically hurt them from gaining a positive reputation. Really the first impression is the worst as it would be hard for it to be made up at least in my opinion or maybe I just did not really understand how it worked very well. I would not mind it's return but I did not really pay much attention to it in my opinion of people's posts as I used my own. I guess if you do not know a person and they are sharing something in your own topic that could give you an impression of who they are and how you should judge their view.
  7. I disagree, I thought it was a pretty good movie. It was pretty funny and although you did not really understand where the plot was going I thought it ended up being pretty cool. The beginning did have purpose introducing his power but I think it was more for humor than anything but I thought that it was comical. I think they were basically using this to set up as many prequels and sequels as they like and if they were to make new movies they can make them more plot specific based off the information people should know.
  8. Well normally when I am bored I will try and find some physical activity to do but seeing as you have a busted knee that might be hard. I usually surf the net or watch the television but that can end up in boredom as well. You could try doing some of those survey sites that make money but you will probably still become bored with that but listening to music can help. Other than that I do not really know what to suggest unless you try writing a novel or something because using your creativity and imagination can help pass time by.
  9. The purpose of the myCent system is not really to pay the users in money but rather to aid them in getting hosting and reduce the cost if not eliminate it. It also benefits Xisto in that it will bring more who pay for services and use the myCent system to supplement some of the cost. The Kontera system is a good way of possibly adding some true income with your posts as the more you post the better the chance you have of your ads showing up to be clicked on and it can also benefit you if you end up using it for your own site.
  10. It has been a pretty big topic seeing as it deals with many countries of the world. Here is a list with the rights being given to the countries. http://www.hrweb.org/legal/undocs.html
  11. Like the announcement had stated with the introduction of the myCent system, the credit system has been phased out and you will have to use your myCent account to continue hosting. You can set up an account and you pay monthly using virtual money earned through the myCent system. For more information on how to sign up please refer to this post... http://forums.xisto.com/topic/61592-credit-system-v30-online-resolved-free-web-hosting-domains-dedicated-ip-digital-certificate-managed/ There will be no hosting credits that go negative but rather you have to earn enough myCents to pay for your next month of your hosting package.
  12. That seems to be a pretty bad decision on the hands of the Governor-General who I am guessing must be a Conservative or does not want to lose their spot seeing as government reform could cause that. I have no real knowledge of how the Canadian government works but it seems like those in the government are trying to hold onto their jobs in power as long as possible just like most others do. If opposition comes up then generally instead of making concessions they try and silence them if possible which is my guess on what the Governor-General is trying to do since they do not want to see Prime Minister Harper resign. There are people that when they first run feel they would do what is best for the people but when it comes down to it and they have the choice, they choose what benefits them the most, it's the corruption of power really.
  13. I do not really care for Xfire. I find it annoying to be in the middle of a game and then have to open up the Xfire window to talk to someone in game. It is a lot easier to use Ventrillo or Team Speak because you have your microphone and can just talk away when necessary and still concentrate on the game. It is a faster source of communication anyway seeing as you do not have to wait for your friend to die or hide to see what you said and respond.
  14. I have signed the petition, number 799 and counting. This seems like a good idea as it is very important to pass along beliefs in human rights as a lot of countries ignore them for their own benefit.
  15. It has been a year since I last posted here and I was in between jobs. Now I have been working at a pizza place for about 11 months of course still managing school as well because this year I am a senior. It does make for a lot of long nights but I hope to run a business some day and like having extra money for enjoyment. I am close to becoming manager but seeing as I am not 18 yet I am not allowed to be so I can only have so much responsibility in the place.
  16. I think this is a pretty cool idea. I guess this makes the tags for the page very important as well now seeing as the ads will probably be based off them as well and the more people that come to the page the better chance they will click the ads. Great work OpaQue, always finding new features that benefit all. That's why I love this place.
  17. There is no official post as of yet. If there is going to be one they are probably waiting for the bugs to be fixed and all of the mods to be modified to work with the new skin/theme and then announce what is new.
  18. I definitely am in favor for the new changes. The theme looks a lot nicer and more professional but also gives a cool look to the site. Everything seems to be more accessible in a way even though not that much changed. I noticed there is an about me page now on the profile, not sure if that was there before but it's a nice addition. I noticed a few other small things too that I like to see such as the date someone last logged in being under the avatar so you do not have to search on their profile. Once all of the bugs are fixed I am sure it will be a great change/upgrade for Xisto. Shoutbox is back of course which is most important. Just kidding.
  19. I certainly enjoy secondary school more than primary school. Seeing as I am older sure there is more work but this also brings more freedom and responsibility. Of course you do not have to carry as many books but I have made it so my locker holds foods and snacks which we can eat in class of course and they sell sodas there for us (definitely needed). Of course there is having more friends and more things to do and once you are able to drive it brings a whole new freedom. There are clubs and more things to do and sports to play as well as more meaningful relationships with people rather than just people you color with and your teachers are more your friend than your teacher (at least many of them are).
  20. Well for one look at the operating system itself, it is not hack proof and this is how he created it so I am pretty sure his own edition will be hackable seeing as all of his software is already. Seeing as Bill Gates owns the company, I am pretty sure he could have his own edition if he really wanted it or anyone could if they paid enough money I am sure but it would only really be personalized with software made to be like his secretary in a way. I do not see why this would not be plausible really. His computer probably does have protection and this may just be a lie to see if it's really out there but I still would not be surprised if he really had his own edition but if he does it's probably testing of future versions of Windows.
  21. Happy Birthday OpaQue. Hopefully you take a break and relax or have a party Make sure you invite me if you do.Story Time: A long time ago, there was a planet known by some but was held a secret to most. It held data and provided services only to few at a low cost. There was little asked in return. The services ranged from web hosting to customer support and even offered the exchange of people's of ideas and opinions and the sharing of knowledge. This planet was known as Xisto. The planet had been divided into countries united as one. Xisto was where the population discussed their opinion and shared knowledge in return for web hosting. Xisto - Web Hosting was for those towards the upper class, of mansions and wealth where services were offered in return for money. This planet's life was relatively short lived as it was tragically destroyed by an asteroid when it collided and caused complete and utter destruction of the planet. Only one person managed to escape the mayhem, and it was a new born baby who hid within one of the servers. After wandering through space for a long time his server landed on Earth where he learned to adapt. As he grew up, OpaQue (the newborn) slowly began to remember the planet Xisto of his past and wished to recreate it's services and community but with unification and better quality. Thus, Xisto was born with it's sub sites similar to the countries of the planet. OpaQue worked day and night programming his way to make the site better and better to keep Xisto and it's services the best on the web.
  22. I had been wondering the same thing but the problem is if it were online then the stuff probably has already been typed up unless they are sending transcripts or something through the mail. Only true data entry type work I know of would be at a medical clinic/office but that of course is not online. There may be some where you are typing what someone says I suppose but I know many are scams so be careful.
  23. I do not know of any site off hand but if you would like I would recommend searching for a web site that reviews web hosts and breaks down the requirements and features for easier searching. That way you can find multiple sites. Xisto does offer top level domain names though if that is what you are looking for. Not sure if you knew that but they way you worded it it seemed like you did not.
  24. I heard this this morning, it is really sad that the guy probably never had a chance. Someone brought up the idea of looking up the video tapes and finding the faces of all the customers that stepped on him or trampled over him and charging them with man slaughter. Of course some people never saw him until he was under their feet so that would not really be fair but I thought it was an interesting idea. I feel bad for that man and his family as it's a tough time to lose someone and for a stupid reason as well.
  25. There are countries that already have tried to implement this but people will always find ways around it. They have created programs that connect to proxies automatically and you do not even have to install anything on your computer. Those who really wish to access or start a site like this will always find a way as that is called perseverance. The government can try all it wants I suppose but it sounds like it has major flaws already.
