Ah ok, its something ive only used once as a little test to run a .htm page as a .php, but this link should see you straight: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Here we go: http://www.webweaver.nu/html-tips/web-redirection.shtml The first little example is what you need Just type something like: Redirect 301 /blog index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1 Redirect 301 /contact index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2 Redirect 301 /about index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3 Then if i go to yoursite.com/blog it will send me to yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1 Note: Search engines dont like 301 redirects.... So it wont be the best method for your SEO but for a user it is so much better to remember /blog than /index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1 etc...

Wow, really?Jeebs.... You think that radio-carbon dating is wrong by a factor of 65 million years minus one day...? You think that science cant tell the difference between 65 million years ago and today, and the difference between this morning and this afternoon?You sir, are deluded. (actually more than that, but i dont want to flame. I would seriously never take an IQ test if i were you) Right.... Explain then the hundreds of feet of solid, sedimentary rock that has piled upon the bones of the dinosaurs and the fact that human remains are much higher up in the rock layers? You actually are a fool.Trufusion raised the only plausible argument regarding the 6 days of creation... His argument was, in essence, that because god hadnt created the solar system, including the sun, for a day or two (whenever he gives light i would imagine) days did not exist. For a day is a measure of time taken for the earth to spin once with a nightday cycle caused by the sun. If the sun didnt exist then a day would be an infinite amount of time. However, as soon as the bible says god gave light a day is defined as 24 hours. Hence you are an idiot. I agree that radio carbon dating is not accurate to years, even decades, perhaps even millennia. However, when you tell me that radio-carbon dating can get confused between 65million years and 36 hours i simply pity you. Do not be afraid to question your religion. Do you think your god would be happy that you blindly follow the words written by mere mortals? No. Neither do i. *face/palm*This is going nowhere, if you honestly believe that humans and dinosaurs (and lets not forget that other animals existed even before the dinosaurs, millions and millions of years before) lived together and god created one in the morning and one in the afternoon then you are simply deluded and seriously in need of help.

This is going to be fairly inaccurate, but it should suffice (unless you happen to be stephen hawking, in which case this is just going to seem very wrong....) Before i start, there is one thing you must understand about the quantum world. It is NOTHING like the "normal" rules that we are used to (where energy/matter cant be created destroyed, things can be in only one spot at one time etc...) For example, the electrons whizzing around a nucleus of an atom, they dont orbit it like the moon and the earth, no. They disappear and re-appear all the time. Flashing in and out of existence. If there was one electron you might see 3 or 4 or zero as the electron can be in more than place at the same moment of time, or in no places (ie it doesnt exist). Now, quantum tunnelling is thus: Imagine a brick wall, and you are kicking a ball at it and it bounces back. That is how things work normally if you fire an electron or sub-atomic particle at another particle (where the electron is the ball and the other atom or particle or molecule is the wall) However, in the quantum world, if you kick the ball hard enough it will go straight through the brick wall without actually causing any damage or anything, almost as if the wall wasnt there, like a ghost it would just go straight through. So, in this mobile phone screen they have a single layer of these molecules which have this weird property. The theory is this, you fire electrons through it and normally they will bounce off like the ball does to the wall, however, some may pass through but very few. Then when you press the screen the slight pressure causes the surface to deform slightly, bringing some of these particles, or walls, closer together. This raises the chances of the electron (or ball) passing through them. So if you measured the number of electrons that make it through then you can work out how hard the screen is being pressed and hence get pressure sensitivity from it.

Any floating widgets irritate the hell out of me, there is just no need to put them there! The facebook one on a tech site i visit actually causes a graphic tear in the page whenever you scroll. I mean who the hell thought that would be a good idea?!

Just download adblocker pro for firefox, right click on it, then "adblock image" and choose the filter that is something like "reallyannoyingsite.com/*" all the scripts and images get blocked

So i log on this morning and see some irritating, out of place, out of theme sidebar javascript widget with CHAT written in it and some horrible PINK block and "Bob dylan tickets"Now, i am 99.9% sure this is not adware on my PC. So.... I do not want to buy bob dylan tickets, i have no interest in him, live concerts or tickets of any kind. Nor have i any history relating to tickets, so if you are going to do averts at least look at what they are advertising for christs sake! Next, i dont want a frikking side bar there that looks so damn ugly. Not to mention the fact that it is laggy and disrupts the view of the page its just frikking ugly, i mean seriously, have you guys even looked at the ads that you allow on your site? Think about it.Needless to say that is not blocked along with answers.com which was the most irritating advert system in the world. I would strongly suggest scrapping it. Oh and then the twitter etc... buttons, yup they got blocked too because they are irritating. If i had a twitter account i would tweet about T17 in my own good time!!! Did you guys even look at this side bar? It appears not.If any T17 members want a little tutorial on blocking these intrusions then say so in this thread anad if demand is enough ill post a tutorial.Just dont go there T17...

Well according to the christians dinosaurs and humans lived together. Thats what we were arguing about.I see no-one ha a counter argument to the clear fact that we didnt...

Everyone dreams, but not all of us remember. Your dream seems fairly typical of a sort of trying to get something like a girl or exam result etc... and then getting it (the animal you love) then loosing it, or perhaps you already have the thing you desire and you are afraid that you are loosing it or someone is trying to take it from you.If it is recurring then it is trying to tell you something, and it wont stop until you listen.

It seems paypal has stopped personal payments in india. This is probably due to a large number of spam or similar events.Forward that email on to the person who is trying to send you the money and tell him to enter his address as the shipping address. Basically what paypal is doing is forcing you to act as a seller like an ebay seller, whereby he would buy something (the logo) and then you would wrap it up and post it off to his address which he needs to provide. I know the logo isnt send as a parcel, it is sent via email or whatever, but paypal wants the address to verify that you are both real people and it is a buyer/seller situation.So ask him to try that and forward him on the email from paypal so he understands.

Mods: Still cant edit my posts, has there been a change to the forum, if so can we have an announcement or sticky please While i wait for fools to bash me... "God cares for you" Apparently not if you are a woman, Cor.14:34-35: Well *theres* a just and fair religion. Nice one god, hate all the women, i mean women after all gave us the original sin, dirty little b**** how dare they speak in church? Filthy harlots! all i can say is WHAT THE **** Nice religion you got going there. Real smooth and fair I knew that Christians hated women anyway (and as an institution the church does) There was recently uproar when the first female bishop (i think it was a bishop) was appointed here in the UK, the church didnt like a woman having power.... Oh and then there is the huge law about the pope being a man and the fact that he is passed over the top of the congregation that witness his appointment as the blood stained hand of god purely so that they can look up his gown and see that he in fact does have a pair of testicles... God forbid a woman ever gets into the vatican... I assume most of my previous post can be explained away as neither side has much evidence for the blatant murder that christians have committed, however. This passage is written directly in your bible which is meant to represent the teachings of god. Therefore your god hates women (according to the person that wrote the passage and those that adhere to it) hence the church, and many christians are against the word of god. Personally if i were god i would be ashamed of my creations who murder, rape pillage and subjugate in my name. I await some devotee to attempt to prove me wrong. And dont say "the bible was written by man and man has faults" because that's an excuse and you know it. It may well be written in error but then consider why so many christians adhere to it with blind stupidity. Then i will accept your argument. (essentially im giving you two options here, accept the bible is full of rubbish or accept that most christians are stupid fools. To be honest, any other reply is an excuse and dodging the facts. I try not to bash christians but when im faced with utter foolishness i am infuriated such as now. Let me just re-iterate... Christians as individuals are generally good people. But your religion is a sham and your church is build on blood stained pillars by the hands of nazis, murderers and paedophiles. It is a shame to tarnish you all, i would ask that you dont take it personally (well, most of you anyway) but instead look at your leaders and your religion. And look inside yourself.

Well christians did have that power once, several hundred years ago, the time when they went around killing everyone. i think they forgot to write that down in the bible... how silly of them. Christianity is an EVIL religion (*note, the term evil, when used by me is interchangeable with "morally corrupt and wrong, causing harm and/or distress"). i have been through this in the other thread. The pope is a nazi (ex member of the hitler youth, but i guess he said sorry so it's ok, either that or its ok because the jews killed jesus so the pope was just trying to set things right.. (Note, this is sarcasm. It is NOT right)), the christians probably have one of the highest body counts of all religions. You dont believe? Ok, we will kill you. Probably by drowning, but hanging in you are lucky, maybe stoning... (why are we at war with the east at the moment? Basically its a religious war, the extremists think non-believers should be killed etc.... This is just what the christians done but then again, its not in the bible so it didnt happen....) Christians actively condemn non-believers and homosexuals to their hell, did your god give you this right? No, so shut the hell up! The bible has missing books or gospels, these gospels tell how (i think) Jesus had a female partner and various other characters in this sweet little story werent what the church wanted, so they just missed those pages out of the finished bible. yeh, nice one. "Your holiness, we have some er...pages that dont quite match up, what should we do with them?" *Five minutes later the pope sits beside a roaring fire* "Much warmer! Guards, kill him. He knows too much". The Davinci code... A story, a fictional story... So why did the church get so angry, did somebody touch a nerve? Awww itll be ok, too bad you cant just have him executed like the good ol days eh? Aww Christianity is a joke. It really is. If your god is real then he would be ashamed of the shambles that christians, as a group, have created. I am sure there would be those of you who he is proud of, but the vast majority would be laughed at while standing at the pearly gates... "Oh, so you hate homosexuals eh? Well they too are my children, and anyone who hates my children cannot exist here..." *trapdoor flips open, idiot falls into flames*

Mods, why cant i edit my posts? http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ https://www.wyzant.com/resources/lessons/english/etymology/words-mod-dinosaur-info You honestly are driving me mad.... Your foolishness is un-describable. The only websites suggesting dinos and people existed is from bible sites which are pure stupidity.

Seriously... I cant believe that you think dinosaurs, as in the giant scaly creatures at the same time as T-Rex, and humans, as in people today, lived together.I am sorry but even kids know this isnt true. Mammals hardly existed when dinosaurs did, all mammals wouldve been small, rat like or small rabbit like creatures, if that. there were no monkeys, no pigs, no people. Seriously, you are sounding like a fool, dont let yourself sound like an idiot. PLEASE!Dinosaurs and humans have NEVER existed together. Please. This is why i cant talk to christians. You are making your religion look like a bunch of idiots!

I question everything, not just my beliefs but scientific theories, recently i have looked into the intention experiment which appears to lend support for "magick" if you will. I am trying to find cross-references, previous studies etc... and especially criticism. We learn more about our beliefs from critics than we do from believers. Your logic is flawed i am afraid to say. Dinosaurs, in the classical sense, died out many millions of years ago. Humans however, only came to be true *person*-sapiens and *person*-erectus (i think that is the scientific name meaning standing upright as opposed to walking on our knuckles) a few millions of years ago. Many dinosaurs died out around 65 million years ago as im sure you know. Humans are much, much, much younger than that. In fact even things like the earliest monkeys did not appear for millions and millions of years.You cannot dispute this evidence. If you try you will look foolish, i am sorry...You also cannot say that god is timeless therefore he can create the earth in a timeless manor. Lets assume he did. Let's assume he created the earth in less than a second. how did he create the time difference between dinos and man? You could give me rubbish about the fact that he can do anything, but sorry that's an excuse and you know it. It irritates me that you are afraid to question what you believe in. Why is this? I know why, and you know why. Don't be a fool. If your faith is so weak you cannot question it then it is not the right path for you. If however, you CAN question it, and the answers please you then i congratulate you on finding the right path and i truly hope you continue your faith.Give me the chances that you think life couldve created itself? a hundred to one? thousand to one? trillion to one? tell me a number.

To be fair this thread is over a year old... And paypal arent going to sit around and let this sort of thing carry on.Link it to your bank account and you'll have no problems at all.

Hah, no it couldnt. I dont mean to ridicule you but the 7 day story is BS and everyone knows it.I am sorry but in my eyes anyone who believes that god really did create the earth and solar system in 7, well actually, 6 days, is an idiot. That story makes no account of dinosaurs for a start.... The time difference between dinos and humans is more than 7 days... Now, you could argue that all the dinosaur fossils are fake, perhaps made by scientists to get funded, in which case you would be so foolish that natural selection should finish you off and end the corruption of the gene pool.Seriously. Wake up! Question your religion! Dont be scared to do it! if your religion is so strong, so true and god is real then by questioning him and everything else you would only affirm your beleifs and align yourself more closely with your god. On the other hand if you find out its all a lie so what?! The mere fact that you find out it isnt true means that god wont send you to hell because you wouldve just found out he doesnt exist!The lack of questioning irritates me greatly!I am not religious per say but i do believe in many things, every single day i question them. I assume they arent real and then ask myself how something happens, or what it means etc... QUESTION it!Saint Thomas Aquinas, he is a saint according to QI, every saint must have performed a miracle or have a miracle attributed to them. IN the case of Aquinas his miracle is.... Wait for it... Turning sardines into herring. Oh yes... he was dying you see, and wanted some herring, hie friends couldnt only find sardines as there were no herring there at that time of year (i think it was around the Mediterranean) so they told him the sardines were herring and he hate them. He then proclaimed they were the best herring he had tasted and thus the myth was born that when Aquinas ate the sardines they turned magically into herring in his mouth... Nice one god. Dont worry about saving his life or consoling his family or enabling him to do more good on earth, just give him some herring. I realize this thread has turned into more of a religious debate than what the OP intended. i am sure i have had some influence on that. However, let me state that i have nothing against individual christians, i think they are deluded but they think so of me and it is their freedom to do so. However, the religion is flawed, it suppresses its followers, shackles them, you to its beliefs. You ant disagree for you are evil, you cannot speak out for you are evil. If you do something wrong just say sorry and you are forgiven. If you are a priest you might as well just abuse some kids, who cares?! If anyone asks the vatican for information on child abuse the vatican just ignores them. That's right, the vatican ignores child abuse, including rape, it LETS IT HAPPEN. ANd you are happy with that?!HA! I laugh at people that sweep it under the carpet. That is pathetic and wrong. Ex nazi runs your religion?! Oh thats ok, i mean, they were jews, they killed jesus, they probably deserved it right? WRONG! WAKE UP!</rant><disclaimer>If i offended any christians then... well im not sorry actually... As an individual i largely respect you, i am sure you are a good person, and i am sure christianity has helped you become a much better, happer person. And for that i am glad you found it. A christian man gets on my bus in the morning, i am almost proud of him that he has found a faith and stuck to it. I have never spoken to him however he looks respectable, and there is a "good" feeling about him. I do not hate christians, i hate the religion that it has become. If the christian god is real then he would be ashamed of most of his followers. He gave you free will to question and act upon the world as you see fit, but instead you follow like blind sheep, never asking, never seeking, never looking. Those that do, such as (IMHO) TrueFusion come across as educated, intelligent and i respect them for that, their faith is strong and although i do not think the religion is "true" (well i do... but my beleifs are a whole new topic several pages long) i respect the fact that people like TF have questioned it and still found it suits their lifestyle. Religion is not about serving god, it is about finding comfort, hope, freedom and happiness and no matter what religion you choose, so long as you question it and are sure it fits then i am happy for you. I really am. But when you dont ask questions, when you dont seek knowledge then i think you are a fool. A fool who will live an empty life, living for another person or a god, instead of for yourself. God does not put you here to serve him, god puts you here to experience the world, life and its many turns. Dont disappoint him by not living your life to the full. To do so is a waste. (I still dont believe in god, but im talking to those of you that do, hence why it appears as though i believe)</disclaimer>

abdultalip, please, please dont make your text huge and blue like that, stick to the normal sized font please!! Free security is in fact better than paid for. I have a thread somewhere here on T17 in the computer or internet section which shows results from a test including names like norton, kapersky and comodo... 50% of all the tested free softwares (a grand total of 8 were tested) got 90% or more. The two top tested softwares in the whole list were free and the only ones which scored 100%, that was comodo and one other. I think something like 25-30 of the softwares tested were paid for, only 4 of those got 90% or above, and i dont think norton, mcaffee or kapersky were in the 90%+ group. Avast will update sometimes 3 or more times per day, at the very least you will get one update per day. Free software is almost always better than paid. Why? Because most of it is open source so it is written by perhaps hundreds of people all fixing bugs, adding features etc... and because it isnt locked down more people develop addons (think firefox Vs IE....) and so you get many, many more features. Anyone that pays for software IMHO is an idiot... Sorry guys... I dont like AVG because the control panel when i used it last just looked like some dodgy windows 95 app with no power. IT does work well however and i think it did get 90%+ in the tests. To be secure i recommend Avast antivirus which contains its own shields which act a little like firewalls in that they cut connections if a virus is being downloaded from a known malicious site (doesnt give false positives, i think it has a blacklist) and then add Comodo firewall and bundled AV on top of that and you have a double layer protection. So far nothing has got through that. Comodo can be a pain at first because you need to either allow or deny apps internet access, but anyone capable of installing it is capable of figuring out what to allow or not EDIT: Wow, you people actually WANT to pay money for something that isnt as good as free software? Why are you looking forward to buying something?! Thats just not right, you are going to pay money for a piece of software that will slow your PC down, let virusses through and then tell you it cant remove them? Clever... I will dig up that test i found and show you how kapersky and nod compare to comodo.... Here it is: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ See how AVG actually failed the test, and kapersky did well. I got the two confused, my bad. The test basically has several levels whereby a program will try to bypass the security. IE the kill test is a program that tries to simply kill the antivirus program. If it were a real attack your AV is now useless.... AVG didnt get past the first level of that... Nice.... Check the link Another test showed that avast ranks with an 3 star rating out of 3 along with kapersky, windows one care and a few others for detection rates, symantec, mcafee and Sophos all rated as 1 star, or "standard" and those are all very expensive (relatively speaking) systems, where as kapersky is fairly cheep (my mum got a 3 pcs for Ł24 deal with two of her friends) and avast is completely free. AVG scored a 2 star rating out of three. If you MUST pay to feel secure (then you're an idiot but...) go for something cheap like kapersky, it is fairly good but Avast is still better

Have you got a source for this? It's something i had no idea about and i'd be interested in checking it up.

I agree with you completely. In my eyes christianity at first was a good thing, it showed people how to live their lives for the better and care for each other. Then someone wanted power, control and money, hence modern christianity was born.Chrstians are scared. Scared of their god, scared of their own religion and the rest of the world. What kind of religion is it when you have to fear your own god? Seriously.... Get over it.In my eyes a god should be something you look up to for guidance, example and help. If you do something morally wrong YOU should make it right. Dont just say sorry to god and think it is all over. Catholics are the worst. They can murder, rape, adulterate, it doesnt matter. Then they go to church, sit in a box and say im sorry and it's all over. These people are fools.The reason, IMHO, that christians preach so frikkin much is because they are scared. Their faith isnt strong enough so they feel that they must invoke a crowd to believe the same as them, to strengthen their faith.They will tell you it is to "save" you.... Yes... Save you from servitude, financial extortion and lies. Chrstians readily forget the wrongs they have done, their pope was a nazi (FACT) and most of them hate gays, even though one of the "rules" of christianity is to forgive... So forgive them for being gay and get over it fore the sake of jesus! Do you honestly think that jesus would stand there and say "you dirty gays" and then condemn them? No, Jesus would understand and simply ignore them. Even if he thought it was completely wrong he may say it once to them and leave them be. If their choice is hell then that is up to them. Jesus wasnt a fool (he wasnt real either, but im just pretending for the sake of argument).There is much hypocrisy in christianity, and until that hypocrisy, hate and lying is scrubbed out i will forever laugh at it as a religion. I hope that gives a little insight into the motives behind it. Im not accusing individuals of being bad, many are indeed good. However, as an organization the church has so much to answer for, murder, torture, rape, theft..... Hypocrisy of the highest order. But christians are all too willing to ignore that part of their history.

Heh, i think i know what you mean, in which case neither will I! I like to give others the benefit of the doubt, and i rarely decree some-ones beleifs to be wrong and i hate to call people liars.... So i wont. But i have to admit that i agree with you to an extent. The levitation and reluctance to have the entity removed is swaying me to disbelief. But sky, if you truly do hear voices and truly believe you are at points under the control of another entity then i suggest you do one of two things, firstly consult a spiritual worker, i assume you live in the UK, in which case consult google maps to look for a spiritualist church or pagan moot. It may not be easy to attend and i would strongly suggest taking a responsible adult (pagans can be paedophiles too...). Secondly, if you either decide not to visit a spiritual "professional" or they tell you that they cant sense anything, i strongly suggest getting psychologically examined. I am not saying you are insane, however if i were hearing voices and no other psychic or magick worker could back it up then i would assume that i am insane and in need of treatment. Short of repeating myself about removing the entity this is the only advice i can give.

Corectimo. A demon by definition is a bad thing. Sky, if this is a demon it needs to go. If it isnt a demon then it wouldnt possess or scratch you, therefore it *is* a demon and thus needs to go.*note, "demon" refers to the stereotype proposed by movies and books, it is not an indication that i believe in demons, i have already made my feelings clear on that subject.I just cant understand the reasoning behind wanting it to stay! Apart from fear, but then fear can be overcome, and once it is then your demon will have nothing to feed on.

Too true... My post does actually address the original post, only apparently that got neglected...What irritates me about this preaching is that Christians will preach preach preach and tell me that if i dont listen im going to hell and all this crap and then their leader is a nazi and all over the place kids are being sexually abused by priests and what not which is a) homosexual, so according to most christians that is grounds for going to hell, and b.) just wrong, especially considering the "do unto others" speach, add in the fact that christianity is basically paganism and other ancient religions rebranded (note, i am not trying to suggest to you that witchcraft, magick, voodoo etc.. work, that is something you must work out for yourself, which you seem to have done) and then the fact that anyone who isnt a christian is a sinner i just cant stand to have these hypocritical views preached to me surrounded in a nice pillow of lies! Seriously, believe what you want, but dont come preaching to me and trying to convert me, which is essentially what the OP is, and its not the first either. Preach preach preach.

It wasnt off topic actually....According to that classification "off topic" means any post that goes against god. By: I will assume you mean that paganism has no ground to stand on? History and historic records (and in fact christianity) would say otherwise, but fair enough. It is, however, relevant in that it asks how can a god care for me if his followers brand me evil for not doing as they do? Or perhaps it is christianity at fault, for if god is infallible then his followers are simply wrong. I would bring up the ten commandments, homosexuality, love thy neighbour and the abuse of women and children at the hands of the church... But then the whole world knows that a fair number of catholic priests and other high ranking members who organise and run services are homophobic sexist paedophiles so i guess i dont need to elaborate. But then again im sure im off topic again for going against god. I would disagree, in general christians who preach are extremely annoying, and i feel sorry for you being associated with them. I would never preach any belief to anyone and try to get followers. If people are interested in what i believe in then i will tell them and if they wish to learn more i will point to the path, however i would not post adverts on behalf of any religion of belief system. Well the pope for one (oh by the way guys, the pope was part of the hitler youth who were sworn to follow hitlers orders and generally kill homosexuals, jews and anyone else they didnt like, often by painful methods and with no remorse. Sorry for bringing his halo crashing to the ground but as im sure many christians would say, the truth will set you free. While we are on the subject, he has a really nice gold country there, i bet god didnt pay for that.... And for the record, you will see that i use "IMHO" quite extensively, it means "In My Humble Opinion" everything i post is my opinion and belief (well apart from the historical facts) and should be treated as such. I am happy that you have found a religion that gives you something inside, and i would never try to take that from you. However, that doesnt mean ignorance should be accepted in the face of blind faith. Question everything, if you are still satisfied with your beliefs then i am happy for you.

God really doesnt care for me... Well, the christian religion doesnt anyway, i would be considered a sinner and evil on so many accounts.Please stop preaching... I honestly dont care for your god or religion, IMHO it's all a lie and mostly based on religions which you and your friends now term devil worship etc...And hoe many kids all over the world take ages to get ready for school and end up late? Millions. How many people get blisters? Millions. I could go on but I wont. If god was truly there then it wouldntve happened in the first place. This is the point where you tell me it is part of his grand plan, I've heard it all before and none of it makes even an iota of sense.
