Gotta be careful though, if she really is a stalker, sitting down and telling her it's over might push her over the edge and make her do something drastic, lol.

Do You Think A Woman Would Be A Better President?

Now we just need to get an African-American elected into office. -
Climbing An Active Volcano just got back from one
s2city replied to brainless's topic in General Discussion
That's really cool. I had no idea you could actually climb a volcano... let alone, an active one! Excellent pictures, maybe the next time I'm in Italy, I'll go for a climb too. -
I've never really been a fan of SmartFTP. I don't like the way it's laid out. I like to have the remote connection on the right side, not the left - is there a way to change this in SmartFTP, because I couldn't find one? I'll stick with CuteFTP! But an excellent tutorial no less, you actually solved a problem I was having in not being able to see the active directory.

What are the requirements to run Vista? My laptop has the Windows Vista Capable sticker, but it was Designed for Windows XP. It's got 512 MB RAM and around 80 GB of Memory, is that somewhere in the area of what's needed?

Do You Think A Woman Would Be A Better President?
s2city replied to JasperIk's topic in General Discussion
As much as I'd love to see a woman in office, I don't know if they'd get elected. Simply because I believe many people today are still feminists and think that women are less capable than men. -
Please Review My Site! my first joomla site
s2city replied to MusicOnly's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I like the colors of the main part of your website a lot, the blues all work well together and contrast nicely with the black in your logo. The downloads page is especially cool, I really like the Tooltip that shows all the song's information.One thing you could work on is matching the style of your SMF to better match the theme of your actual website. But other than that, you've done a fairly good job in putting your website together. -
Ever find that found some people are listing items, images and tuts and linking directly to the download url (those that are like image.php?id=0). To prevent this, you can add a piece of code to the download pages that checks which page referred them to the download page: if it's your domain, it downloads the file normally, if it's not, it will redirect to your home page instead. Important: Not all browsers log referrers, so this won't work depending on the browser the visitor uses and this method can be also bypassed, but it will work for for the major part of visitors. <?php$yoursite = "yoursite.com"; //Your site url without http://$yoursite2 = "www.yoursite.com;; //Type your domain with www. this time$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];//Check if browser sends referrer url or notif ($referer == "") { //If not, set referrer as your domain$domain = $yoursite;} else {$domain = parse_url($referer); //If yes, parse referrer}if($domain['host'] == $yoursite || $domain['host'] == $yoursite2) {//Run your dowloading code here normally} else {//The referrer is not your site, we redirect to your home pageheader("Location: http://yoursite.com");exit(); //Stop running the script}?>

SOCOM 3 is quite possibly the greatest game ever created... aside from Halo. It's pretty much Playstation's equivalent to Halo; it's got vehicles, loads of weapons, 32 players online play, and so much more. You should check it out if you've never played it, it's worth it!

Yeah, Geocities is neat and they do have some fairly decent features at the user's disposal, but overall they're not that great. For one thing they've got those annoying advertisements on all their pages. Bandwidth is also an issue with GeoCities becasue you start of with barely enough to view your own page. My opinion is that while GeoCities has some good sides to its hosting services, overall I wouldn't recommend anyone but absolute beginners to the website development scene.
-
Trap17 offers like the best free hosting in the world... heck, the universe! We should be thankful that those are the only advertisements that we have to see. Lucky for us, Xisto isn't like HostUltra, sending you like 5 ads for every click! Besides, Xisto needs oodles of money to pay for all the resources that us users consume... it may be free for us, but it's certainly not free for them!

Are you taking ignorance pills or something? For one thing, you spend more time at home than you do at school, so if you think that school is "taking up all your free time", which as you must have stated that factor upwards of 3 times... you do; then perhaps you should get out more often! Knowledge is power and we need to go to school to learn. Secondly, school is fun; it's probably the best time of your life! Field trips, friends, proms, homecoming, dances, parties... would you rather spend every day cooped up in your house? I know that I wouldn't! If you think that school is so horrible, then perhaps you should consider just dropping out and becoming a hobo? Go get your G.E.D., see if you can get a job a McDonalds, and remember the phrase "Would you like fries with that?".

Sounds like you have a very... difficult life, lol. I think you need a hug. *Gives hug*:-)

Some people are just ignorant and... special. The only way they know to express they're dislike for a subject is to put it down. I run a forum and while spammers aren't necessarily taking a stand and putting us down, they are wreaking havoc onto the forum. In our case, we protect ourselves by using image verification and timers to ensure that the forum is essentially "spam-proofed". Maybe you should try doing this to your community? In any event, good luck with keeping those people at bay.

Meh... some parents just don't make a great match. I see what you're saying about your parents arguing and what not -- perhaps you should try sitting both your parents down and telling them how you feel and what you think about the two of them fighting. This is probably a horrible piece of advice... but maybe they should get a divorce, that is assuming, if the two of them are feeling as bad as you say they are. Some parents just need to fight to get out what they're feeling, for some that's the only way they know how to get everything out into the open. It sounds harsh... but that's just the way that it is with some people.

I have Young Jeezy - Soul Survivor as my ringtone. I use Virgin Mobile, they've got really great real music ringtones. I've also got the Foo Fighters - Best of You, Chevelle - The Clincher, Akon - Lonely, and the infamous James Bond theme song.

God I hate substitutes too Ham, they're incredibly annoying. I can think of one in particular; she won't hesitate to write you a referral for the slightest things... she once wrote one for a kid who yawned while she was lecturing. Our class had the unfortunate pleasure of her subbing for a week. Ugh, needless to say we we're incredibly grateful upon the return of our regular teacher.

Yeah I have Comcast High-Speed and they offer McAfee for free, which is great, because it's pretty expensive if you are buying it at retail price. It includes automatic updating and the whole-shebang and it also has a really nifty firewall, I love it.

I Wanted To Go See Brokeback Mountain. The respone I got from a classmate?
s2city replied to InvestADime's topic in The Vent
Sadly that's how a lot of people are... it's just like racism; people are afraid of things they don't understand, homosexuality is no different. Having said that, I'm not rushing out to see Brokeback Mountain. Not because I think homosexuality is strange and immoral, the movie just doesn't look all that entertaining. I think I'll wait until it hits Blockbuster! Two guys can get arrested if they kiss in public? What!? What a sad... sad world we live in. -
Yeah Killzone is a pretty good game. The single player is especially good; nice graphics, good plot layout, challenging -- but not too challenging, and very fun. The Online Play was originally done using Gamespot, which for those of you who've never played on a Gamespot server... whoa, they really stink. Awfully slow and featureless, not fun at all. Recently though SCEA bought Guerrila Software, they made the game. Along with purchasing the company, they also revamped the online play and it's better then ever! Clans, Friends List, you name... it's probably on there now. I think it's a greatest hit now too, so you can probably go pick up a copy of it for no more than 30 bucks. Most definitely worth the money.

My Spanish Teacher Argh enough to drive me to drink
s2city replied to Albus Dumbledore's topic in The Vent
Some teachers are like that... but just for future reference, you may want to go over your letters, in some parts it didn't make much sense. But overall, I got the general idea of what you were saying. You should get everyone in your class, or 3/4 of the students he teaches to write a similar letter, I'm sure he'd definitely be reviewed or something to that effect. If he acts how you claim he does, he'll probably be disciplined. -
Ha ha... Mr. Froop. I've got a Psychology teacher that's the same way. She doesn't teach... unless you'd call telling us what to read teaching. There are never any classroom activites relative to what we're studying. We basically teach ourselves the material... and she's the one getting paid. It seems like a wicked case of role reversal; I think we should be getting paid, I mean we're the ones teaching ourselves! In any event, I think you should direct Mr. Froop to this thread and perhaps he'll change his style of teaching. The song I can see as being relevant to the class, like a song for memorizing the order of the planets in our solar system... but constructing a UFO? What in God's name is Mr. Froop smoking?

I totally agree... I don't know what would motivate people to create malevolent coding. I've never had an experience with viruses, thanks to Ad-Aware and McAfee; I've downloaded them, but McAfee deletes it real quick, whew! You've just gotta protect yourself... it's a shame that we have to, but that's just how the internet is: a few normal users, some perverts, and hackers...

I've never had any problems with Xisto's server; considering the incredibly large number of people hosted here, it's no surprise if they do occasionally get the hiccups. Most importantly though... you're getting hosted for FREE!

That's not a very objective view... but I guess if that's how you think. I don't believe the US runs the world; our planet is called Earth... not America. The legal system isn't perfect, I doubt if any legal system can be. But anyway, I just wanted to throw my two cents in regarding the Atomic Bombing -- true it ended in an incredibly huge number of deaths, but in truth, had there been no bombing just as many allied soldiers could have died. Like I said that's just my two cents... take it or leave it.
