  3. I guess by a football you mean european soccer ball since you started with an Ngon.Are you gonna follow up with a mapping tutor for this ball? And please, upload some pics to http://www.imageshack.us/ and then link them here.
  4. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the communication technology of the future for sure. Legacy technology carries voice signals over analog circuits and lines. Voice over IP converts the analog signal to digital and transports the signal to the receiver where it is converted back from digital to analog and the receiver hears the sender's voice. This provides a more efficient and economical means of communication.I have know VOIP for quite a some time since i started online. Most of the time i use msn messeger or yahoo messeger to chat with my friends. Recently, I have try a new VOIP product from a US company, it calls Telextreme. Don't know u all have heard of it no.With the package that i have sign up, i call call to my friend's cell phone or fixed phone with only USD59.95 a month with NO AIR-TIME LIMIT. It provides Crystal-Clear calling and to others countries as well like US(All 50 states), UK, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands and mores. To use this product, u need to have a broadband line to support it. Otherwise, u will wait a few second hear your friend's voice.
  5. Slow start to speedy net servicesService providers are in a race to be the fastestFaster broadband in the UK is becoming a reality as more internet providers offer super-fast services.Some lucky Britons can already take advantage of UK Online's 8 megabits per second service, which was launched in November 2004.BT Retail has announced that it will trial the same speed service, with a national rollout by year end.Other service providers are expected to follow suit and a glut of new voice and video services will follow.Losing market share"If the bandwidth is there then ISPs will buy it," said Jill Finger, a research director at analyst firm IDC.Others will be watching BT Retail's trials, which is initially for employees and later in the summer for customers, with interest.For BT Retail, she said, the super-fast service could be a way of differentiating it from other players."It has been losing market share and this could be one way of gaining some of that back," said Ms Finger.Wanadoo is set to trial an 8Mbps service in the summer and also plans to roll out unbundled services - which means it takes over the network from BT - which will provide speeds of up to 15Mbps.There is no timetable for this at the moment. Cable firms ntl and Telewest are also bound to increase bandwidth at some time in the future and, according to an ntl spokesman, are in a better position than BT in the long term."BT's network is limited compared to that of cable. With all the other services coming on stream such as video on demand, the question is will 8Mbps be enough?" he asked.----As we know now acording to BBC - ISP's are now offering 8MB connection and soon 15MB, you think this is really nessassary for a home user? I know I think it is, anyone disagree?
  6. holy cow http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ i was wondering if anyone has these headphones or anything like them these are amazing i love these. i got those headphones for my birthday and as good as they are im a bass lover. i love bass these are amazing ive never FELT anything like them its like having earth shattering sound system in headphones. what surprised me the most were that they were amazingly cheap for such nice headphones. Well they are very very very poorly made. Not the cups or anything just the head strap part. But if ur careful these are awesome the bass vibrates all around ur ear and it feels awesome. i just wanted to share this information for those who dont know about these. i think everyone should try these. very cheap so if you dont like it, they wont be a huge investment. im not bragging im recommending them to everyone because theyre worth the price so if u dont like them then dont get them theyre cheap and awesome, what more can u ask for.
  7. How to make your PC silent?yes, I know all PCs will make noise, but there has to be products or materials or things you can do make them or help them become silentI know how to make a PC quiet... buy every component, etc that is very quiet..... fans, harddrives, cases, PS fans, CPU fans... or even use water coolers.... BUT for those who didn't think about case noise and besides starting from scratch....What products out there work?What products or components can we change that make a BIG difference!?!?!?!Please give pros/cons and reviews if you have tried or found anything that works good.I just changed 2 of my 3 PCs the 2 case fans in each.The existing fans were "cheap" I guess, not any good name brand, etc. I tried to look up their decibles on the web... I think most were about / around 30 dba.I replaced them with Vantec, 80mm, double ball bearing "stealth" case fans. Their rated dba was 21.I was hoping the 30% less dba would make a difference.... I "THINK" I can bearly tell....they cost $10 bucks each from Fry's... but I would not replace the current ones... if I would have know I would tell the differenceAnyway...that was my 2 cents.thanks for your reviews and input....PS. I'm hoping someone has some new Technology that quiets the PC by 50% percent!!!!All I want is a quiet office!!!
  8. FireFox infected my computer! I was doing a memory usage comparision between FireFox and Opera here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I opened a lot of sites in FF including some cracks sites. All of a sudden I got multiple virus warnings from Avast antivirus, and an Internet Explorer window popped up!!! A toolbar was installed, and a spyware search thing by 180solutions was running in my system tray: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Nothing happend when I opened exactly the same pages in Opera.
  9. whyme says: you have copied and pastesd this entire chunk of text from the link below. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Please note that your warn level is at 80% right now.
  10. trillian is in the beta stages right now and still has a lot of holes to patch up. like sometimes it auto-accepts the incoming files on my MSN IM. That means that anyone can send me a trojan anytime. Is that crazy or what?
  11. All the buzz about mp3 players, iPods...manufacturers have started to sell mp4 players (claims to play video and audio).All the mp4 players out there...i think they're only 3 big name ones now, all running Windows media software, kinda bricky, and have relatively short battery lives, w/ hard to get used to interfaces...w/ a coolness factor of about million. All rumor sites all think that apple, whatever steve jobs says, is going to get one out soon.Has anyone actually purchased one? if so, are they small and futuristic?
  12. I use Firefox for security and IE for the features. new IE7 looks very promising and might be a great combination of both, i really hope so anyways because firefox is very low on features and it has couple exploits too. There is much debate over the security of Web browsers, stemming mainly from Internet Explorer's vulnerability as a common target for hackers and virus writers. Microsoft regularly releases patches and updates to fix security holes in Internet Explorer that might allow someone to install malicious software or steal information from a computer. Firefox has not been the focus of hackers so far, but that doesn't mean it's inherently safer. For now, Firefox is enjoying a reprieve from viruses and hackers primarily because, compared to the widespread use of Internet Explorer, it is relatively obscure. Hackers haven't bothered exploiting Firefox yet, because the low yield means it wouldn't be worth their efforts. If Firefox ever achieves dominance among Web browsers, that can be expected to change. But I believe that IE will be the dominant browser in the end because its packed with tons of useful features.
  13. I like hot summers so I always wanted to visit the Brazil. The capital of the Alagoas State has wonderful beaches, and the color of sea varies from emerald green to blue, but the water is always clear. The sand is white and there are a lot of coconut plantations. This natural beauty combines with its urban coast, with a lot of hotels, restaurants and bars. The scenery ? inviting and attracts Brazilian and foreign tourists during all over the year. Its a dream
  14. Yeah I travel a lot and from what i heard it gives you the same speed as cable when the reception signal is good. still though i suspect the cable is faster and cheaper at the moment but it lacks mobility.
  15. That would be nice indeed, and much more intuitive. Also, is it true that you need +4 credits to unsuspend the account?
  16. DMC-Xclef 500. Currently available in 40 and 80 gigabyte capacities. Now...one hundred gigabytes of music. 25 000 songs...man that looks good on paper. I predict it'll be used as much as a portable hard drive as it is used as an MP3 player.Wow...remember three years ago or what not everyone was marvelling at how much music the original 5GB iPod could hold in such a pocketable package? Monitor the CNet Review Page if you wish...there's currently a 'first take' video. There will definitely be a review soon enough.
  17. Check out this review for the ATI X850 Card http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/,176.html Expensive but got FABULOUS reviews. I am still waiting for the 'real' next gen cards though. After all of that reading it seems the final verdict is the only thing I really had to read. Seems like the BEST pick for the most unexellent price. ATI has to release these to try to fix the bomb that was the X800 Pro, and the 6800 series is still standing strong. No 6850 needed! else, the next generation video cards wont be around for awhile. Its gonna be some time for the 512 bit cards to hit the market.
  18. Doom 3 is one of the the kewlest game I've ever played but im sure that you know that already since you said you played the first two. campaign was great and then i tried multiplayer and im hooked ever since.
  19. Does anyone have it? If so, do you like it? I personaly love the new spyware remover from Microsoft, its very powerful. Seeing as its made by the developers of the OS itself, atleast I think its that way. My pc's IE was hijacked and the home page was locked at yahoo.com, I've been searching high and low for something to help me remove it and finally after months of living with yahoo as my start page, Microsoft Antispy extended a big helping hand! I love the program, and I strongly recommend it to anyone who cant afford another (payware) antispy program. Since I just got it I wont delete my common antispy program (Ad-Aware) but I did an Ad-Aware scan before I did the MSAS scan and Ad-Aware didnt find anything, but MSAS did, so it might be replacing Ad-Aware soon. I wont delete it now because MSAS is currently at the dreaded BETA state, so there is no telling what could happen.
  20. Well actually he didnt, he claims he improved it some but he didnt actually install all those mods. He got the prepacked ipb board from http://www.vshare.us/showthread.php?t=34 and claims it to be his own, which is not true. But nevertheless, thanx for sharing it with us odomike and good luck with your forum. i'm gonna register on your forum either way but don't expect me to start posting right away.
  21. Hi, I was wondering about having an internet service based from a satellite connection. This mostly comes from this article: http://www.informationweek.com/default.asp The service promises 432 KB per sec but I am wondering how might work as I've heard the connection speed for satellites connections (phones) had a large delay due to the range of transmission. Would anyone recommend this?
  22. 90% of the time it takes more than one attempt to login. If you keep trying and trying you might get lucky but most of the time I leave frustrated.
  23. SO i downloaded the beta to see how it works. i will use it in conjunction to my xp pro (dual boot). I was just wondering if anyone knew what drivers i would need (b/c i think you have to download them before installing the OS) and where can i get them from.THX.
  24. Mercedes is much heavier than BMW but more luxurious. I would prefer neither because I like lightweight sports cars. BMW is not too bad though overall so I'd choose that between the two but I will withold my vote because i couldnt care less for either of these cars. Every poll should include 'none' or 'other' options.
  25. It doesnt seem like admins are reading this. Oh well, I guess I will need to take off my sweater and start posting quick to pull my account out of this hole.
