  1. Does it make any sense having an open source AV??Coders could easily create virus for it.On the other hand, brains all over the world could contribute to create an unbreakable antivirus!!!
  2. Please post thumbnails bishoujo. We do have a lot of dial-up users and you are killing their bandwidth!!!!When you host images with ImageFilez or imageshack.us, they do give you the option to post thumbnails in forums. Thank you.
  3. I would prefer Blaze Media Pro. Beware it is not free though.BMP allows you to save your tones in a veriety of formats which is not possible with Audacity.I remember my previous cell phone(Sagem MyX6) would support audio only of the format IMA ADPCM format of WAV.BMP was the only software that could help me out.Some of the features provided by Blaze Media Pro are:-Invert, reverse, amplify, fade in, fade out, normalise etc.The biggest advantage is that you can save your sound clip in any possible format.BMP also allows video edition and conversion to any format.You could also extract just the audio from any possible video file!!!!
  4. Absolutely true untill the fourth decimal point!!!! Didn't expect you to be a fellow MU engg student OpaQue. Are you still studin or have you finished Engg??
  5. The author of the article must be such a sweetheart!! Bless her!!!!
  6. Hey I didn't know P2P is being used by games for multiplayer gaming! That comes as news to me!!!I'll do some research on that and put it in the article too. Thanks a lot guys!But whoever thought of the idea of P2P must be a genius though many people use it for wrong purposes.True it is always best to buy copyrighted music but P2P can be helpful if you want to distribute something like a customised version of some linux distro!!!! In that case you won't find a better solution than P2P.
  7. Since you have created the forum directly with smfforfree3.com, I don't think you will be able to change the 'new post' icon. Do put up new themes and a skin chooser that will allow people to decide what skin they want to see.
  8. Thank you for all your help guys. Mods please close this topic. I am very grateful to you all.Xisto rocks \m/
  9. I found my account suspended today and when I checked my credits on Xisto, it was somewhere around -4 (which I feel should have been around 0).Post I posted on the forum and now my credits are somewhere around 6. But now I get the error shown in this screenshotSorry, problem seems to have been solved. Mods please delete this topic. Sorry again
  10. To speak of the negetives, I don't like the black theme.One look at the forum and what strikes the eyes are the black bands! You also need a banner for your forum. Put a makeshift banner and then you can urge your members to create one for you in return for a reward or something.Also 'Rocketer' is a bad name for your forum. The name of the forum should explain what the forum is about.Rest will be taken care of when you get more members.What I like is that you have taken some pains and put up a gallery. That should really help your forum. And specially when it's a forum on gaming, a gallery with lots of screenshots and stuff can really boost activity on your forum
  11. Hey guys, I plan to buy the Sony Ericsson S500 soon. I've tried reading a few reviews and I stumbled across a post which said that the keys of the S500 are cracking!!! Is that true? Does anyone own the Se S500. I've already fallen in love with the phone and it would be sad if the phone was defective!!! Heres a peek at the phone. You guys will fall in love a well!!!! Here are some of the features that are unique to this phone: -- Lights very similar to the Nokia 6220 -- A theme based on nature which changes according to the time of the day!!! Please do let me know if someone has bought the phone and received any problems.
  12. I'm not urging people to leave trap 17!! I know Xisto rocks!!!But the point is that wetpaint.com the the easiest way to setup wikis. After the bit of research I did, I've come to the conclusion that there are scripts available whick help set up wikis but they can't really be customised as much as wetpaint. In fact mediawiki (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki/) allows you to create a wiki ditto as wikipedia but customising can be a real pain.So untill the concept gains popularity and you get better, more userfriendly, more customisable scripts to create wikis, I urge people to have a peek at Wetpaint and use Xisto for all their other needs.Now Wetpaint has even cutdown the no of ads on your site. So your final page no longer looks cluttered!!!Psst: Xisto rocks \m/ and even I've got my blog hosted with Xisto (angadsodhi.com/wordpress).
  13. Nice tut. Also take a look at the official phpBB Userguide at https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1385785&n= However there's a simpler way out. CPanels offered by most hosts allow you to install phpBB2 automatically without any hastles. You can forget the hassles about CHMOD values and stuff. The automatic installer does it for you. Currently Xisto YaBB only which is also as good as phpBB For those of you who are on Xisto (most of you should be), --Login to your CPanel --In the 'Pre-installed' box, click on 'AddOn Scripts' --click on 'Bulletin Boards' --click on YaBB --fill in the few details and you are ready with a rocking bulletin board!!! Hope Xisto puts up automatic installer for phpBB too in the near future.
  14. I get it. Thank you. The switch that I have has 6 terminals. Please tell me if the connections are correct. I hope I've got you right. Plannin to make a 4 wheeled simple vehicle for college fest.
  15. Hey guys, need help connecting a DPDT switch. I have a motor and want the switch to be able to rotate the motor both ways.Please help me out.
  16. I'll give just one advise: For people who use Orkut regularly, put up your URL in your profile name. Orkut/Facebook can be a great place for publicity!!!
  17. Google's started a referral system which allows you to put up specific company ads. I think this will definately help you. You can put up ads that are high paying only and relevant to your subject. Expect a higher income if ads are relevant. If you decide the ads, they have to be relevant!For eg: If you have a site on motoring, you can choose to put up ads only from Bajaj Allianz or some auto insurance/loan company.If you sell the same stuff, you can put up ads closely related to your product.for eg: You could have an ad for automobile accessories!!!
  18. Yup. It's benefit is that the user won't have to scroll horizontally. The visitor gets a full view of the table in one glance.But CSS would be better. You can set the width in percentages as well as define 'minimum width'. Don't know much about CSS though (just what I've come across customising themes in WP), but there is an attribute 'min width'. That should give you floating columns I guess.When I first created my site, I did it using tripod.com Then I whacked the entire code, removed all traces of ever having used their site, put up my ads and hosted somewhere else!!!Even pages.google.com can be helpful. Once you get the basic framework right, you can always make minor changes instead of creating everything from scratch!!!
  19. My pick would definately be Rise of Nations!!!I'm even addicted to Age of Empires 2.
  20. Do not use -- height="141" --Different browsers interpret it differently. Also Depending on the screen resolution, the table can get distorted. Either use all values in percentages or write length in px for all values. But never combine both.If you are using height as 141, it might look neat for the 800 x 600 but if the visitor is using a res of 1024 x 768, that particular size may remain same but the rest of the table will get expanded thus distorting the overall look.
  21. True the page looks horrible!I'm no expert but would like to suggest a point that I've learnt through experience. When having problem understanding tables (especially if they are nested), Set the border attribute of each table one-by-one to a high value(say 8). This can really help understanding which is the table that is distorting the entire page.Always save a copy of the orig code so that you can always revert back in case things go messy!!! :XD:
  22. Thank you guys!!!! My site is up and runnin!!!!!I had actually used the redirects option in the cpanel. It struck me when in a lecture today that I should have removed redirects before applying for change of domain name.I think you pinpointed the problem correctly BuffaloHELP (bless you).Thank you BuffaloHELP, jlhaslip and OpaQue(you are a genius) for all your help.
  23. The domain isn't locked or something. They do allow me to change the nameservers (as seen in the screenshot!)I seem to have done everything right. I can't see where the problem lies!Will cancelling this account and starting a new one help? But then how do I transfer my database? I have my wordpress Blog hosted with Xisto. It's been over 4 days since the site has been down. I'm losing visitors!!! :XD:
  24. I've registered my domain through web1. (http://domains.web1.in/) park4.web1india.com park1.web1india.com park2.web1india.com park3.web1india.com were the previous default values provided. I changed them to ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com Will writing ns1.trap17.com instead of ns1.Trap17.com work? Does writing a capital T cause problems? The values of the nameserver are just the two provided by Xisto. How do I take off those other 4. As seen in this screenshot, there are just 2 values. Please tell me what to do. Thanks.
  25. Well, to put it in one word I thought the book is PATHETIC!The story is good. A shocker for most of us to get an insight into the happenings at the IIT. I used to think IIT must be a paradise for the brainy lot. But the truth seems to be completely different!!But the book is not at all well written! You cant swear all the time in your book. The book if full of F*** OFFs and more F*** OFFs (all unsensored though). I call it inability to express anger. Take any book from the Potter series. The book is full of heated conversations - Potter vs Molfoy, Potter vs Snape .....But you may not find a single swear word. Rowling really expresses anger well.Personally I feel expressing anger is one the hardest emotion to express in writing and Chetan Bhagat fails miserably at it!!!
