haha i just saw this post. you've seen me since then so no need to explain.i think it would be cool if there was an amber alert on me though. when people come up to me and tell me people are looking for me, i can just say, "oh no, that's just my twin brother". so when they tell me they are sorry and wish they can help, i could say, "sure you can help! can you spare 5 bucks?". then they would be obligated to pay me i could make a fortune!

well you could have told him how in your last post too :)to ping a site or in this case a server, you need to open the command prompt. then just follow the instructions opaque gave "ping <servername>.xisto.com"

i know it's not much help, ut it's all i can offer at the moment unless you ask the person you talked towhen information is not available, it means the server is down. they wont admit that fact, but any website hosted on alpha at that time will be down. i've run across that issue before on beta. now i am on gamma.since you talked to shree, then he should know what server is best for your needs. i've had a LOT of issues with servers lately and they finally put me on gamma which might tell me gamma is most stable since i doubt they want to continue hearing my *BLEEP*ing.

you or someone else(moderator/admin) edited or deleted one or more of your posts. usually when a mod or admin edits a post it is not within the rules of the forum where in that case, the user should be verbally warned and you would know exactly which posts got edited or deleted. since everything went to crap here recently, this isn't the case anymore.it's not uncommon to have mycents go down. i'm sure you are curious which posts affected your mycents but i think your outta luck on this issue here. at least until there is some new order around here.

server status

ha. yea, your funny bani. yea, i see it on your screen shot. i took a second look in my browser and noticed that i don't have a welcome box. weird.

are you sure he wanted that link posted? last i heard, he didn't want google picking anything up. also, it's a little premature to even give an opinion seeing there is still a lot of work to do.bani- i still don't see any global coordinates. where exactly is it listing the visitors coordinates???

well, she isn't feeling the same connection as you are. i suggest you try to go back being just friends if you can. if there is a possibility of taking things slow, do it because it sounds like after you two ended the "Friendship", you went a little too fast or maybe there was never a connection but a type of stronger love people have for eachother. in any case, slow it down and have a talk with her. the best thing to do right now is to talk. the truth may hurt, but it will save you from wasting your time. i would really just try to save the friendship personally if at all possible.

yea, you have to click on the link now for the flash intro. it was the main page before....

good luck with that. always remember....actions speak louder than words.

that's not funny. stop trying to depress people

don't anyone listen to alicia. she says she's in the executive offices like that is supposed to mean something. fact is, she is NOT an executive. no important person of any corporation will go online and respond to forum posts. executives have more important things to do. she's pretending to be someone important when she really isn't.notive how alicia said we can waive the programming access fee if we do automatic billing. no dish network is trying to use bribary. so now i wonder what the need for this fee is if it can easily be waived by setting up automatic payments. i am the originator of this thread and this is a classic example of how dish network scams people and uses fraud to extort money from people.i advise EVERYONE to NOT use dish network. if you have a choice, go with direct t.v. or a cable company. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH DISH NETWORK. nobody from the executive offices are going to pretend they are innocent here on MY watch! all they want is your current credit card or debit card information so if you cancel, they can steal your cancelation fees illegally through your banking information you provided. DON'T DO IT!alicia- you are welcome here anytime to acknowledge the bad service and illegal activities they promote to scam people out of their hard earned money. if you however lie about anything or try to convince people otherwise, i will have to respond. if you want to help, get some customer id # and look in to their accounts and help them solve the crap dish network did to them. that would be more productive than trying to make dish network look innocent in any wrong doings.get a clue

i haven't tried the resources given at this site, but you might find it very usefull...http://606u.dir.bg/avicheck/

you need to be more specific. is it a torrent you are downloading and then want to copy the avi or whatever file format to a dvd? is it another cd? if so, is there copy protection on it?i burn a crap load of dvd's but never needed to check the quality because i would just watch the opening credits on the computer before burning it to dvd. there could be two causes. it could be the original that is screwed up before you are burning your dvd, or it could be the program or the speed at which you are burning which is causing things to mess up.i think we would need to know specifically what you are burning first before we can answer that question or even research it to find a proper answer. i haven't heard about a program that does it either way but it seems like there should be something out there that can run through the video and audio for testing purposes.

well i didn't want to respond at first because i don't know exactly what you are looking for. you said some programs aren't giving the effect you want. is there an example you can show us? i am not really an expert in this area but since nobody else is respnding my unknown knowledge is better than nothing i guess. if your looking for high quality, then any good high end video software will be perfect and will do the job faster. other than that, you can't create animation with one photo. you have to make several photos and put them all together. you can do this in photoshop or any other high end graphics program. if you aren't getting the effect you want, then it means you just aren't using the software correctly. there is a lot to photoshop and can take a while to master. especially when you are trying to create pictures for animation with the right effect and even possibly creating multiple layers for the effects like shadows. with a quick search, you might want to check out these sites to download one two three four also, there are some good tutorials on youtube to create a waving flag effect in photoshop or premiere and other softwares like effects, etc....

well if you want the cheapest price like you said, then get an acer. you might be able to pick one up $100 cheaper than the other brands, but like rvalkass said, it's a crap shoot. personally, i wouldn't trust 'm but you get what you pay for and you wanted cheap i guess.so best price- acer/gatewaybest laptop with the price to go with it- sonybest all around- toshiba with hp/compaq coming in a close secondeverything also depends on the features you want. i mean, you said hard drive doesn't matter, but does the processor matter or the cpu speed? how about a webcam? how much ram?i think sony is out of your price range so it would pretty much be between an acer/gateway or a toshiba(satellite series) or an hp/compaq. i don't know too much about the lenovas or asus to even comment on them, but they are both sorta in the medium price range and if i am gonna pick a cheap computer, i would stick with the acer.another thing you will have to consider is if your computer breaks down. is there a certified repair place near you(depending on the laptop you choose)? can you easily drive their or mail it in for cheap?also, once you have narrowed down the brand, you will have to narrow down the series or model because all laptops made by the same manufacturer are not the samenow i had an acer before, but it was given to me used and it held up pretty damn good. with my research when buying my first laptop though, i could tell that i was one of the lucky ones. i forget what model it was but it's like a 5 year old model now.now when you have figured out what you want, i would go to new egg, fry's electronics, and amazon to search for the best deals and even check out the user ratings. if you go with a toshiba though, toshiba direct will have the best prices within the link i posted but no reveiws go go by.also, hp seems to get pretty good reviews on the sites customers buy their laptops from, but i think they are bumped up more than what they really are because hp is an american company(and some people are biased) and you have a lot of newbies buying hp's or a good name brand that don't know how to review a computer.for me, when i was extensively researching laptops, i researched for a month or so before i even bought one. laptops are more expensive than desktops and what i was personally looking for was the best price with the best repair records. after that, it's a crap shoot just like with any electronic component you buy. there will always be some risk, but i was pretty confident that i did pretty good research and if anything DID go wrong, it wouldn't be from my research.that's pretty much the extent of my knowledge without going in to all the specifics with my research. there are so many manufacturers out there and models of laptops that it can get very confusing. so my advice would be to pick a manufacturer FIRST(based on good repair records there are only 3-4 to choose from really if you did good research), then decide what features you want, then decide on a series(based on price and features), then a model. if you do that in order and without getting ahead of yourself, it will be a lot easier to choose.

i recently had a discussion about this with someone and we disagree. thing is, i researched laptops for a while before i bought my first one and i can tell you that toshiba is the brand to go with. their repair history is excellent which means they hardly ever break down for no good reason. check out the specials going on at this website here. you just missed the fourth of july specials but they usually always have something going on the thing about toshiba is that they hold their value pretty well too. i bought my laptop a little over a year ago and i can sell it used for the same price i bought it for so it makes upgrading pretty easy. i wish i woulda known about this website before i bought my first laptop. coulda saved me a little money. they beat walmarts prices which is pretty good i would have to say. the other place to go searching for laptops once you know what you are looking for is fry's electronics. anyway, i HIGHLY recomend the toshiba. god forbid you buy one and it breaks down on you. i will feel guilty as heck...but i doubt i will be switching brand names anytime soon myself. they are not only good computers, they price their laptops VERY competitively!
