Ooooh... interesting Microsoft have actually registered the domain http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/! Have a look at this WHOIS search here - http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch/?ip=he=off&email=on Is there any reason they chose to call it Windows Vista? Windows XP was an abbreviation of experiance, is there anything like that with Vista/longhorn?

You don't have to use Limewire (I do though), you will get the same results with any P2P program that uses the Gnutella network. Kazaa runs on the Fast Track network, so results will be different.If you really don't want to illegally download songs, and risk going to court, etc, try getting a legal alternative such as Napster. You'll have to pay for every song, but it's not much (79p in the UK).

I used http://www.ukreg.com/ and got a domain for roughly £5 a year (sorry, I'm not sure what that is in dollars) which is pretty cheap in the UK. Use that domain with free hosting from Asta and it's one of the best deals I'vew ever had!

I couldn't care less about Internet Explorer 7, Firefox will always be better in my opinion.Will this new version be standards compliant?

I was disapointed with the time it took for Google to make a toolbar, and the fact that it has so few features. I much prefer the unofficial Googlebar (http://googlebar.mozdev.org/), it has so many more features than the official one - if you look, Google actually link to it anyway!

That's great, thank you!

Mine must be JetAudio Basic. It's free, innovative and way much better than all other media players I've seen.I also use Irfanview, which seems to be able to handle practically any type of media, be it images or sound.

Oh, just found Avast! I was tight about the Home Edition thing - here's the link https://www.avast.com/index

You can try Avast! 4 Home Edition for free, but you have to pay for corporate (I think).Has anybody used AOL's Spyware "Protector"? It is terrible. Also, I couldn't agree with you more about Norton.I've got Norton AV 2004, and it is pathetic. It can't seem to delete or fix anything, even it detects them! I'm seriously considering switching to Avast! when my subscription expires.

I think Google's Desktop Search is brilliant. It works so well, and is so much better than windows's built in search. All though it doesn't provide "real time" results like windows does (it collects an index, a bit like the Google search engine) the results are still accurate and up to date, seeing as Google Desktop Search automatically updates the index whenever your computer is idle.Everyone goes on and on about Google stealing everyone's privacy and everything, but they don't! In my opinion, its all stupid paranoia. Why are you so afraid of it?

Hey I'm looking for a review system for a website I'm making. I've seen a few ones on the internet, but none of them seem to be that good.What I need is something where people can specify a product's name and producer, give a rating and short review. Then, these are sent to the adminstrator who approves/denies them, before they show up on the site.I know it sounds like a lot, but does anyone know anywhere where I can get something like this, preferably for free?Thanks in advance saxsux

Yep, the film is called Deep Impact, released in May 1998. Its strange that you should bring it up, I was thinking about that film recently (ooh, ESP ). Anyway, more info about the film here - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120647/ and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ A while ago Horizon (BBC Science Program for those of you outside the UK) had a program about megatsunamis, it was pretty interesting. They said about the island mentioned earlier, and showed pictures from after the tsunami hit; the whole side of the island had the trees torn off it. It would be terrifying to have something like that happen somewhere populated, although I doubt there are large enough land forms to create a landslide big enough to do that sort of thing, so I think we'll be okay.

I don't have that problem, and I haven't heard of anyone else having anything like that. Have you had a word with vujsa or and of the other admins about it? They might be able to sort it out. Hope this helps

That does look pretty good, but like AzNxSuperNova (phew, what a mouthful!) I'd be interested in what software you used to make it. It would be pretty good as a signature, its just the right size. In my opinion it could do with a bit of colour though.

Wow! Thanks for that, very useful. Where did you find this? Are there good sites on the net for this sort of thing in Firefox?I've been using http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ recently, which hasn't been that bad, do you know of others?

Not many? 33 dead on the Underground, at least 10 on the bombeed bus, hundreds injured...Okay, compared to 9/11 it's not many, but for us in the UK, this is big. The underground's back up now, with the exception of King's Cross, DLR is up and running (I think) and I'm not sure about the buses. My thoughts go out to those injured and the families of those killed...

As everyone has already said, you're not hosted with Xisto. Be active in the forums, and you can apply for free hosting :PIf this is another host you are talking about, have you canged your nameservers on your domain? That can be quite a common problem, remember that it takes 24 hours to do.

Wow! I've jsut noticed that Google are now offering sattelite maps of the UK too! They're not the best quality in the world, I think [link=http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/] photos are better, the quality is better and they cover a much wider area of the UK, however I can't stand the maps. BigmanB, Google Maps do give directions. Type in where you want to go to, the word "to" and then where you're going from, for example "Norwich to London". You can use postcodes, street names, place names or anything like that to get directions, not just the name of towns or cities.

AVG Free Edition is pretty good, considoring that it's free, but I've heard that it's quite easy for virus writers to get around (defeat) it. Another good free one is Avast 4. The home edition (https://www.avast.com/index) is completely free, and seems pretty good (I haven't tried it though), and if you want it for commercial use, you have to pay. On my computer, I currently use Norton Anti Virus 2004 along with Microsoft Anti Spyware Beta1. They do a pretty good job together (but you should never install more than one Anti Virus package, they could clash with each other). McAfee doesn't seem a bad chhoice, seeing as they currently have 205 off thier Home Edition (see http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) I hope this is helpful, enjoy your time at Xisto ailentkarma

Like quite a few people, I find Ulead Photoimpact quite useful, as well as CorelDraw!You could try looking for some free alternatives, I found some a while ago, but I cannot remember the names at the moment.Also, Paint Shop Pro isn't that bad either.Hope this helps

I think that Google is brilliant. Its fast, and Google Labs is constantly coming with new, brilliant tools which make Google better and better by the day.

Its down for me as well... :lol:Quite annoying, whenver I really badly need to access my site, it goes down. But the service here is so much better here than at any other free hosting providers.

By the looks of things, he isn't hosted yet so he's asking before he gets an account (it would be a waste of time if he got a hosting account, just to find out that it didn't do what he wanted). Perhaps you could try emailing or PMing the admins, or if you posted an example Ruby CGI script here I would be more that willing to try it on my account to see if it works. Enjoy your time here at Xisto!

I can't stand IE. No matter how better IE gets, it's always going to be either inferior to or a rip-off of Firefox.

I really can't stand Hotmail, it's really terrible. I get so irratated by loads of people who (after offering Gmail invites to) go on about how Gmail looks horrible and Hotmail is lovely and blue - how can Hotmail look good, almost the entire screen is taken up by hideous adverts and tons of spam.Yahoo must have been so gutted, after finally managing to up thier capacity to 1GB for free users, and thinking "yeah, we can take on Gmail", Gmail more than doubles thier capacity overnight.In my opinion, Yahoo and Hotmail are always going to be inferior to Gmail. Gmail's features are so much more advanced, it is so much more powerful and generally better than all competition, Yahoo and Hotmail don't stand a chance.
