  1. Yes I hate it the most. it is a crap in modern context. I instead use opera and firefox browsers. I prefer to use Opera because it gives a complete internet experience, as they claim. Notes, POP-Mail (having direct configuration script for Gmail), searchable history, tabbed browsing, user panel, sidebar, download manager, contact and bookmark manager with awesome simplicity, can you get all these in internet explorer? Not at all we all should dump it in Atlantic or at redmond.
  2. My opinion about all these new forums is that if all 6.4 billion people setup their own forum, what will be the usefulness of it? LIke these days, so many new forums are coming. These not only have fewer visitors but become frustrating for the host/admin. If atm is really interested in creating a scout forum. He must advertise it ewell or have some means to get members. The forum scripts or software that he may use arePunBB, PHBB2, SMF as in the order I prefer to install.
  3. You seem to have a wrong impression about cloning technology as do common men in the world. Aclone need not look like or behave like the original. A persons behaviour or look depends on thousands of other factors, such as upbringing, environment and education. For example, if someone clones Osama, the clone need not turn a terrorist in future if he is educated in US. Second, he will die prematurely. If Osama's age is 55 now and his genes are programmed to go into "programmed cell death" or Apoptosis after 70 years of age, the clone will die natural death after 70-55=15 years.Second example that I can site is cloning a hollywood actor/actress or a famous singer. Their clone need not turn to be flumboyant in time. They may be shy cant sing well if they are not given the growing environment exactly identical to original. Isn't that interesting how nature has made all firewalls to hackers? Cloning technology isn't an evil thing but we must start using it for good purposese like life-saving techniques.
  4. You think you are not having any health problems now. But as and when you get older, problems will start arising. Your body clock seems to have shifted 4-5 hours. And although you did not mention, but you may be getting late in the morning. You must be feeling lousy. Uninterested in normal worls, girls etc. There starts the problems. You need to rectify your habits soon. rvalkass has good habits of sleeping early. I can bet he behaves like normal persons during daytime. I want to get feedbacks from the persons I commented on (wheter my predictios about their lifestyle are right or not).
  5. How can you be so sure that the girl will always like you if you can manage her parent? Its immaterial what relation you share with a girl's parent. Second, its the rule tough ones win. I agree to it. The one who can throw the crowd, gets the girl, as in case of other species. A male deer first fights all males in a herd. The one who wins, gets to be the head of the herd with all female deers to his disposal. The law equally applies to humans. LOL.
  6. I think if you have cPanel access, setting up PHBB2 is few seconds job. You dont really need to upload files. Second, did anyone tried punbb? Its lightweight forum software and still gives most of the features. However, it is be not suitable for bigger bords (with 1000+ members) because its admin panel is not fully featured. But you may add adsense ads after first post using just a small module available to be downloaded from their site.
  7. I just checked your site works fine. Its Invision board. Are you sure you did not really get to your site or you wanted to advertise it here? Moreover, if you have created your site, i must say you had access to it. One cant blame on the nameserver propagation.If you really feel to advertise, do so politely, as please review my site, rather thatn spamming out here.
  8. life is just meaningless. we are here because we had to. I am typing because it was sceduled for this day time and till nanosec scale. Its hard to get the philosophy. But let me try to make you understand. If all galaxies, stars, planets and heavenly bodies are moving at a particular pace under the physical forces, how do we supposed to make moves on our own? We are tiny creatures and with respect to massive bodies like galaxies, black holes, we are non existent. So, if we think we are making moves independently on our own will, its false assumption. I beleive all that we do, we think and act are because of moving chemicals and electrons in our body. They are 100% influenced by the same physical forces. So, our each and every movements are fixed and can be calculated in advance, if someone can bring an equation. Meaning, life is meaningless. Just keep doing what you are or will be supposed to.
  9. Googlepages! 50% of times the websites are down. Some glitches in WISGYS editor. and lot more. Beta is a beta. May be we should stick to Xisto for the moment...
  10. confirmed! its server error that is showing unlimited account. Only there is error in words "unlimited" all the restrictions are still on. I tried addon domain. It said I had 0 possible addons. Which means if someone try to beleive they got unlimited space, they will loose files when error is fixed. Beware!
  11. I agree to sqlbyte that wordpress have got no match in terms of performance vs low resource consumption. It looks elegant and costs nothing. Recently I used content management software Joomla to build my website. This CMS doesn't have a good blog script. The rescue came from wordpress. I installed a module and it got going. everything integrated at a place. with RSS feeds. I am trying cms and live journal features. I hope kawasu may also try one of these. All comes in the cpanel for free. If kawasu had the intention to build a live journal, I think I answered him.
  12. yeah, I agree. I never tried to generalise my statement though. It could be probably as a result of misinterpretation. I told that no religion is bad in its real / unmodified form. But muslim clerics these days are trying to change the meaning and morale of Islam. This is probably under influence of proper funding from rich men in saudi arabia. these are the people who fund Jihad or in true sense, terrorism and massacre worldwide. They want to get hold in world politics by using these dirty tricks. Its well known that Osama gets maximum funds from Saudi ameers. Now the question comes to mind, why should Muslim men follow these clerics? Some are mindless illierete men who know nothing about politics, others just join terrorism (Jihaad) in sake of money. In Kashmir, 99% jihaadis are paid by ISI to kill innocents. These men are basically poor and so poor that they may be ready for this job only for few thousands. They basically come fro Afganistan and rural Kashmir. In the similar trend, wherever there are poor and illiterate muslims, there lies a strong fort for terrorism. Be it Indonesia, African nations or Chechenya. In my opinion, the only force that can contain the spread of fIslamic violence and contain saudi ameers from taking hold of global muslim politics, is literacy amongst muslim youth. More number of children, one has, there is strong possibility that parents can not be able to upbring their child. Poor nourishment poor education, social denibility and an affinity towards multigamy all mixes up and produces a corrupt and criminal brain capable of joining the strong army of barbarian mercenaries. (why I talked about multigamy is because terrorists are given rape as incentives at some places). Two child policy, mandatory higher education and monogamy amongst muslim youth can stop the spread of jihaad and terrorism. I hope I am not preaching or insulting someone. If someone is having a difference of opinion with me, please feel free to quote my sentences with proper reasoning, why you are not convinced?
  13. If you install wordpress in your server, you get it pretty cool. Just write a mail to your own 'undisclosed address' and it will be automatically blogged for your account. Do checkin into your cpanel and install Wordpress blog script. You may create a mail account on your own site (yourname@yourname.com). Remember not to post this ID to anyone/spammers. Else all spams/personal conversations will be blogged. LOL
  14. Trap17 usually suffers lots of glitches. As you can see in cpanel when was the server rebooted. Other paid webhosts last for months but free server at Xisto for days at most. So its not surprising to see unlimited space error. btw: We are using free service, so shouldn't expect much of it. Its great still that we r not paying anything for our fun/hobbey sites.
  15. Yep. Its true that clones have same natural age. Chromosome has its ends called telomere. The length of it reduces everytime a cell divides. This is because of a kind of defect in cell replication mechanism. Most of the healthy cells can overcome this defect by invoking a repair mechanism, but as and when human age progresses, the repair mechanism fails and telomere length becomes shortr and shorter. Eventually it leads to what called ageing. Since clone is derived from same donor, the telomere length in father and clone remains same. Therefore, under normal or usual death sequence, theoritically father and clone should die simultaneously. I wanted to convey this fact in earlier post, but it was llittle more scientific.
  16. Neither of the religion in its original form can be regarded as bad. they all preach to love people and live in harmony with society. But Islamic clerics in past happened to build masses with corrupt 'Jehadi' mentality. Their idea was to conquer the world and spread Islam by unacceptable means. That is what paying now. With muslim populations getting violent day by day, becoming intolerable to other culture & scociety, converting minorities in their viscinity by force, and increasing their population for misdeeds, there is no doubt other socoeties and religions will turn against them. This is called 'xenophobia'. A hatred to someone looking stranger. Why stranger, because they don't behave rationally. Nobody knows how that could be stopped? Possibly with World war III???
  17. I already have accounts with targetpoint, adsense, affiliate sensors, adbrite and allfeeds. Do I need more? May be yes. Dont know when and how or may be siting which reason, any of them ban me and seize my earnings. They do so to many of guys, whom I know personally and know they can't be involved with click fraud.Any explanations?
  18. This isn't that cloning always means creation of a new individual. Cloning technology has got plenty of usefulness. Lets say an example.. A person's liver is damaged sevely due to cirrhosis. It can not be replaced without killing other healthy human. As everyone has only one liver in 'stock' nobody can donate it. What remains in option? Transplantation from other species like chimpanzee. This option is only temporary and the person will survive only for few days or months. His own immune system will start rejecting the transplanted organ saying it of foreign origin. Who comes to rescue in this situation is cloning technology. A small healthy portion of cells from patient's liver can be sliced away by operation and grown in laboratory condition. One of these cells can be fused with an egg from a donor and allowed to multiply quickly. The lump of cells can be quickly transformed into liver using stem cell and tissue culture techniques. (stem cell are capable of developing into any organ or tissue). The liver grown in such way can be transplanted to patient. His body does not reject this piece of tissue, as it contains antigenic protein from his own body (although egg was from a different donor). The patient will survive ultimately. Now here comes the ethics part. Since the new organ is developed in-vitro or in laboratory condition, it can not be regarded as a life-form, even though its origin is an human egg. During menstrual cycle one egg dies every month. Instead of wasting it, it can be used to save one person's life. And as heavensounds said about foetus being killed during abortion and ethics committee doesn't seem to bother about it. It just shows partiality to the new and life saving technology. The false concerns in general public about possible misuses of cloning, is baseless and remains miles ahead in future. Even if Bill gates clones himself, He and His clone will die together in normal death, as telomere length will be same for both individuals. So nobody will get benefitted eventually in such misdeeds. We hould not worry about misuses of a technology much. Computers have been of so much use to humans. There is still fuss about possible taking global control by machines or computers. An't we are still using it?
  19. I listened to Buddha Bar I - VI.I heard about VII from you only. But now I'll get VII. How good is this part? I-VI are an excellent collection to have.
  20. I prepared this table based on everyone's sleeping pattern. I shall be updating it with comments. (PS) My advise should not be taken much seriously, as I am not a certified medical practiotioner. However, its based on the knowledge of sleep disturbances, body clock and symptoms and cause of depression. Here is the table of users with comments serenity: OK, timing not mentioned inyourarms: OK ameribass: OK Dragonfly: OK Thorned Rose: sleeping 12-16h can be dangerous Albus Dumbledore: dangerous for future ciroxyz: It should be natural, hypnosis & other means again may disturb cycle if you stop it. Albus Dumbledore: Dangerous for future
  21. Yes, exactly this much....please. And do also add what time you normally go to bed. AsI forgot to add poll, I'll have to compile result manually now.
  22. How Much Do You Sleep And When? A regular night sleep of eight hours a day is important for proper body functioning. Body and mind relaxes during sleep, and so the most used muscle of our body too. Guess which is it? Nopes, you are wrong. Its not heart, but eyes. Guys who thought the right answer should pat themselves. A gland called 'pinial body' (I hope i spelt well, anyways ) secretes two very impostant proteins. named 'per' and 'tim'. 'per' represents for period and 'tim' for time. The concentration of one protein riser and other falls within the pinial body cells in a harmonic fashion. i.e. the exact time when the concentration of both will be equal is 12 hours. This is the basis of body clock. Our body clock decides when should we fall asleep and when to wakeup. It is also harmonized with sunrise and sunset in healthy individuals. When we fall asleep, body hormones levels become different than the active body. Sometimes, in the condition of stress or related, this clock gets disturbed, giving the condition of insomnia. Sometimes we wakeup late night to finish some assignments of during exams. Few days or weeks doesn't affect much. But a regular habit of getting late to bed permanently alters 'per-tim cycle'. So we cant sleep till late night even if we want to. This totally disturbs hormone balance and give rise to a situation of depression, anxiety and various misconcequences. We no longer concentrate on work, and socially we start isolating ourself. This may be a cause of social distraction, break-ups in relations and in short, a devastating situation. I wanted to attach a pole to this post to know, what is your sleeping habits? To, just lets see what percentage of bloggers and forum posters have regular and healthy sleeping habits. Somehow I messed with it and posted the topic without the poll. Anyways, this may be a consequence of my staying awake till late night. Now do post your replies against the post. Please be honest in poll, if you think of getting a good and valuable survey results (which I 'll compile from all posts: no other options ).
  23. Well, I explain you in slightly scientific way. When we are born, we are like computer with only OS (Windows) installed. It comes from mother 'for free' The type of OS deepends upon nourishment inside mother, whether it would be Windows of fedora or a Dos. Then our surrounding starts feeding random data in it. You are a boy or you are a girl with such and such name, its called 'A' its 'B' and this is red. etc. You begin to process the data. If you are windows you are bound to hang sometimes. but most of us do process things well. This forms a permanent memory in us, which decides what decisions we will take in the course of time. All human desisions are taken in the frontal lobe of brain. but memory ir not stored anywhere. It circulates in the form of electron in an infinite loop of circuit made up of neurons. Whenever we start to get inputs (not from keyboard) through our five sensory organs, frontal lobe cals the RAm or the memory loop for an existing description. If electron is lost means memory lost. The things appear to be unique to the individual yet again. If brain still can process the memory and finds a match, it recognises whether you have dipped your hand in a hot water bucket. We sometimes see dreams, often get hallucinations or feel like talking to other individuals without using any meand (mouth, eye contact). This is because of a subatomic particle, which quantum physicists describe as 'tacheons'. Hope I got the spelling right. This is the particle which is postulated to travel faster than light. Its not yet discovered. But explanations are convincing. This is thought to be the unit of brain waves. We talk to persons using this wave. Its called telepathy. In India, thousands of years ago, monks use to follow this technique to communicate with each other thousands of miles apart, without a mobile phone. For us, Lets do an exercise. Close your eyes and think of Pluto. What you saw? Probably a round planet in dark space with sunlight on its front side? You have never seen Pluto. Tacheon theory would will explain it as your brain waves have travelled upto pluto, gathered data and sent back to your brain for processing. But the description in your brain suggested Pluto as a round planet which you just saw. This means, ultimately, we are no one. we dont even know who we are? we dont know how we look like? Do you think you look the same as your mirror shows you? Nopes. A green leaf looks green as it absorbs all the electromagnetic visible radiation except red. Green is its complimentary colour. So if your skin looks brown, you are absorbing all the visible radiation except that complimentary to brown. Which is your actual colour. We still live in a Matrix (not the one featuring Keenu Reeves). So don't bother about it you are not alone. 6.4 billion people beleive they are humans with a given name and they should love, earn money and do partying. They just lie to themselves, so if you do, just dont bother.
  24. Well unicornrose, its good to have a biologist here atlest. As you told about symbiotic theory, you forgot to mention the evidence on which the postulate is based on. Its the ribosomal DNA or in short rDNA. All the species have unique rDNA sequences. Scientists found this fact serendipitously. They tried to sequence rDNA from chloroplast as well as mitochondria. They found it to match more to prokaryotes rather than being originated from their host cell. They also had unique and self-sufficient replication, respiration and food storage mechanisms. It was surprising. After maping the evolutionary tree from the DNA sequence, it was found that these two cellular organnelles were a replica of prokaryotic cells. Therefore, it was 'assumed' (as there is no theory yet to confirm) that the mitochondria or chloroplasts had formed symbiotic relation with blue green algae and in the course of evolution were differentiated into modern eukaryotic cells. They helped algae in respiration and photosynthesis and in turn, algae protected them from invasion of fungi and harmful bacteria by releasing antibiotics. This is not entirely an unique case. In root nodules of plants, nitrogen fixing bacteria follow the same symbiotic relationship. They fix nitrogen for plants using their enzyme system (which plants dont have or not too effective) and in turn take nutrients from cell sap. In our body, the microbial flora, that we always think of getting rid of (by using antimicrobial soaps) protect us from pathogenic invasion. In turn they degrade sweat to find their food. (poor guys). I personally feel, boys, who dont let themselves clean, often dont have pimples (a kind of infection by propionobacterium acne) but girls who wash their face 10 times a day are always prone to get pimples. This is a good example of symbiotic relation of humans with microflora. Our body secretes 'sebum' a fluid, that keeps pathogenic organism at bay. But still it dont harm the bacteria already having symbiotic relation with the individual. There is too much to discuss, provided someone is interested. Although Xisto has lots of good people, discussing quite a good subjects (than most of the forums where people keep posting rapidshare links: useless), biologists are, I feel rather not much comfortable with internet. Its hard to find them discussing. 'unicornrose', I formed a forum for research scholars and scientists, running at Xisto free accunt, if you are interested, please pm me. I'll send you link. Thanks Opaque to have such a good community work.
