  1. That is truly ridiculous and stupid. There is no reason for one to kill himself, let alone in public over the internet. The people watching should have at least reported the suspicious activity not knowing whether it was real or not. I wonder how they could even bare to watch that stuff, just the thought of it gives me chills running down my spine. That teenager must have had some severe problems in his life or something to have the desire to kill himself like that, bipolar or not people should just not wish to be that way.
  2. My question is where does she think the money is going to come from. If a long lost cousin/relative of hers needed money, how was that person or whoever helping them going to all of a sudden give her over twenty million dollars in repayment? Yet again, how does she know what an official looking document would look like if she had not received them before. Anyone can photoshop something to look authentic or professional. She says she was not an easy target but don't you think that she should have at least done research to see if these emails were scams or not? It is not hard to look for a name and look for people with similar names to guess if they are s scammer. When something seems too good to be true, do a lot of research before you go and jump on a runaway train with no brakes hoping for a miracle.

    Mccain

    Being close to the age of election I paid a bit more attention to them this year, but I do not know all of the details about each of the candidates. I do know that there were lots of allegations into Barrack Obama's past and friends and whether he is even a citizen but I would not go and judge him by his middle name or who his dad was friends with. In politics everything is reworded to make an opponent look bad or unpatriotic whatever the case may be. This is true for both sides but I think it was more highly publicized due to Obama's race and relations. I personally did not have a favorite in the race because of all the bias I was influenced by so I gave up this time seeing as I can not vote anyway. The way I see it, we should not judge Obama until we see where he takes the country as a whole and whether his plans benefit the majority or not. It is not fair to criticize his job as a President when he has not even been inaugurated. It will take time for him to even make change in the country as change does take time but hopefully he may prove you wrong.
  4. I like it for the most part. The text I think could be a little more legible but I am not really an expert so I could not tell you exactly what to do to help. Maybe something that spreads out the letters a little more or a bit less of a border. Other than that it is good in my opinion, especially for the first attempt.
  5. I have heard from many people that once you have learned a language, you know you are fluent once you are able to have a dream with the language. Of course that does not mean that that is the only way to see you can speak a language fluently but it does show understanding as your mind is able to think subconsciously in that language. Another way to know of course is if you are able to switch from one to the other while speaking. I have been learning Spanish for quite some time now but have yet to achieve any sign of fluency but I hope one day it comes.
  6. It is not supposed to be a bike for leisurely rides around the park or anything. It is supposed to help those in developing countries of the world that do not have the technology to purify their water. They generally have to walk out to their wells to pull up water but this comes from underground and can be filled with pollutants or dirt and parasites. This bicycle is supposed to be a way to kill two birds in one stone by giving transportation to and from the well and also a means to purify their water with ease and hopefully cost efficient.
  7. This is a pretty cool concept for areas lacking fresh water. I would like to know though how much each of those bicycles cost. I guess if they were to purchase just a few per town then they could share it and people could go get their water and bring it back and hand off the bicycle to someone else, this eliminates some of the cost by not giving one to each inhabitant. I would like to learn though more how it works and how effective it will be. Hopefully the filter is easily changed and is not costly as well as the bicycle itself.
  8. That is pretty amazing to be able to transplant something like that. It is a good idea to remove the cells first though because otherwise she would be attacked by her own cells as they would see the trachea as an intruder or some sort of sickness at it would be irregular to them or unknown. That was one of the many problems of transplants before because if you tried from animals or sometimes from another human, the body would attack itself. I am glad to see things worked out for this woman.
  9. OK if it is being processed then you should be receiving another email shortly that says your account has been set up.
  10. If you signed up using the myCent system as long as you had enough Xisto Dollars to cover the plan, it should be set up within 5 hours. You will receive an email notifying you that it has been created.
  11. If someone builds up all of their credits and transfers them over, using a public IP or not, by banning both of the members all of the myCents are deleted as well as their hosting account so even if they do change IP's they would have to start all over. There has to be a history of IP's and member names that transferred myCents. As for too much posting, the whole point of this forum is to have as many members as possible posting. The more posts and members there are, the more both the users and Xisto benefits. I do not think Xisto is going to have any problems with space seeing as there is almost 50,000 members already. The goal for them is to attract many people to their hosting services and that at some point they will transfer to just paying separately and using myCents as an aid or a discount if you will. Xisto I think has plenty of room for expansion which was probably taken into consideration when creating the myCent system.
  12. Seeing as I am 135 pounds and close to 5' 10" I would say you are healthy. I am on the skinny side but considered health, at least last time I checked.
  13. The great thing about Xisto hosting is that you can build up your myCents earned by posting and put them towards paid hosting. If you earn enough you will not have to pay anything. For the basic plan this is very easy to do and you will have full features because it is the same packages as Xisto - Web Hosting (Xisto paid hosting).
  14. I was not so sure on whether or not to try and purchase this game. I have only played Call of Duty 3 which was fun but I figured it would be hard to go back in time during the series and still create a good game out of it. With the different technologies and trying to create a more vintage look I had been told that the graphics were not as good and it was not as good as Call of Duty 4. Reading these posts though I figure maybe I will try it out and see if it is likable enough to purchase and play online.
  15. Few corrections first, regular season is 162 games long, ya not that much of a difference but anyway, then the postseason will be a maximum 19 games but ends by November 1. The Marlins do not play in a dome but the Rays do but so do a lot of the teams who are getting new stadiums. The weather is not really that much of a factor in my opinion, it just means that your hands might hurt a little more when you use a bat but that will subside within a few minutes. The length of the season is what I like about baseball. It allows the truly good teams to come out and show their stuff and then the best of each division plus the wild card will battle it out at the end. Not every team is going to be good for every game but the length of the season allows tweaks and new strategies to see what works best. Seeing as they play 6 out of 7 days of the week I could see how it becomes tiring with all the traveling and practicing before the games and what not could effect them, despite the millions they are paid they still need a break. I can see why you would want the season to be shorter but I like being able to watch games for a majority of the year as there is always entertainment but if they were to shorten it I would keep it at at least 100 games. It would take some experimenting to see what would really work best. As for the doubleheaders, that would be cool I think but only once or twice a week like on the weekends. I do not think they would ever do it though because MLB airs their games when a majority of the people are going to watch them. That is why all the postseason games were at 8PM EST because that would be 5PM Pacific and most people would be able to stay up and watch the game after work. So if they started the doubleheaders at 4 that might work I guess but I do not know how popular it'd be with the fans at the stadium, it would be a long day.
  16. My first language is English but I have been learning Spanish at school. I have been learning Spanish for probably four years or so and have become pretty decent at writing it and speaking but it does take some thought and a delay in translation. For the most part I can understand it but it depends on the accent and of course I constantly have to add to my vocabulary but I can understand the main part of a conversation. The true test though would be to try and communicate in a Spanish country.
  17. I would probably even clean it for a few thousands dollars. All you really need is a few shovels, gas mask, and a dumpster. Of course it may take a bit to clean the bathroom but if they pay enough I would just buy new appliances and stuff. Imagine how sick some outside person would be if they tried to live there for a weak. The people eating all that and stuff have gradually been exposed to that environment as they created it but someone else could probably become very sick as I am sure there is plenty of bacteria and viruses waiting to find a host.
  18. No one really knows whether they will ever go to heaven or hell or whatever comes after life. Those that do not believe in heaven probably will not go there as you most likely have to believe in it but then again if they were a decent person and just were never opened to the idea of heaven but there is one, then they still may go after life not being left out due to ignorance. Also those that do bad just because they grew up in a bad environment and had bad influences in their life, should they be left out of heaven? It was not really their fault in the first place as maybe they grew up that way and it is hard to change after that. Of course some people do bad things like murder and then in jail realize their faults and ask for forgiveness which God grants, at least in Catholicism, but does that mean they will go into heaven because they are sorry? No one really knows except for God himself supposing there is one if there is a heaven. Therefore I do not really know if I will ever go to heaven, assuming there is one, because no one really knows how your life is judged.
  19. I have run into the same problem when looking into designing a site and I end up having to recreate the name or look for an abbreviated version of the name. People know that there is going to be sites of the same name but they should realize it if they go to the wrong site. Like the others mentioned try looking for a different TLD type or if possible think of a new name or a way to abbreviate to make it more unique.
  20. I bought my Xbox 360 a few months ago and it came with a free trial of Xbox Live so of course I tried it out. I played Call of Duty 3 on it constantly for hours and then when my trial ran out I realized how important it had been into my liking of the system. Online play really adds to the enjoyment you can get out of the system as it takes out the boring feeling of constantly opposing the computer and adds other people into it making it more unpredictable and new each time you play it. Of course there is also the feeling of beating out other people.
  21. The thing is they have to set up their myCent account and what not online first before they would even be able to transfer them at least I would think they should and then they could transfer. That way any transfers can be tracked and if this person is banned then one could just go back to look at their records and remove the myCents transferred and punish the members involved accordingly. As for the actual question as to whether it'll be transferable in the future Opaque had said that it is not allowed at this time but I don't think he mentioned his plans on the future. I am sure it will take a lot of work to make this possible to make sure there are no loopholes.
  22. Ha jlhaslip you beat me to it, I also saw this earlier today although I never knew that Homer and Bart were the creators of the word. I have never felt the need to say or even write out the word but I know people that do use it on a regular basis. I thought the sentences they decided to use to help explain the definition were funny. I've never actually heard the word used that way before like the examples.
  23. It looks like they come to this place just to deposit their trash. I can see why the cups would be neatly placed on the coffee table as they probably sit on the couch and just leave it there when they are done. As for the stacked pizza boxes, I guess they constantly put them on the same spot and grab some pizza and when the box is empty they just put another box on top. I really wonder how in the world they get around that place without falling or tripping, maybe they have a hovercraft. I can not even imagine how that place must smell as well with all that trash. It must be filled with a more disgusting odor than a dumpster that is for sure.
  24. Honestly I had downloaded it a little while ago and thought it was cool but I am so used to using Firefox that I do not really even remember that I have the browser. This topic made me remember that I had it. Of course if I find the need to switch to Chrome then I am sure I probably will some way but I do not really see the need to at the moment. The same thing happened to me though when I used Internet Explorer though because I never thought switching to Firefox had a point but now I use it constantly so it may take Chrome a while to build up popularity.
  25. The myCents is soon going to take over for the hosting credits but for the moment Hosting Credits run your account. In order to keep that account you have to purchase a package using your myCents but make sure to apply for the same subdomain as the one you have on your Hosting Credit account. In the notes area you just have to put your cPanel user name and password into the note field for the admin to make sure your information stays the same. This then will transfer you to run off the myCent system and keep your account once Hosting Credits are discontinued. This also will essentially take you off the Hosting Credit system as if you go negative it will not matter because you have paid for a month or more with your myCents. Hopefully this helped you as it seems a little confusing.
