Yeah, I agree, Flip phones are harder to get the screen scratched up because they arent usually exposed, and there also so thin, compared to the standard phones, there thiner, usually, and smaller. So yeah, take the Sanyo Katana, or the Razr for expample, very slick and very practical.

Yeah, Its kinda useless, its cool, but useless. I usually try to sketch out all of my designs in photoshop, and then im able to easily export the images to get a headstart. Also, its very nice to be able to have a first view of what its all going to look like with the textures and etc laid out.

I use mainly Dreamweaver, for my coding because i like the capability of the design view inside of it so i dont have to constantly ftp. I use Photoshop, for all my graphics, and i use Flash 8 Proffesional for all my flash based design. Also do not ever make all the links on your page in flash. The search engines dont know how to read them and your site will not get alot of traction.

If you are using tables, please consider switching to CSS and if your using Dreamweaver, its extremely easy. Css, is the web standerd now and its probly one of the easyiest languages to learn...ex: (HTML) <div id="logoarea">test</div>(css) #logoarea {width:120px;height:323px;margin:auto;}So as you see, its very easy to learn, and even dreamweaver has every bit of code and helpers in it to help you learn! Also its alot funner to do it in CSS because it makes you feel like a real designer, coding and stuff.

I can do Css, (x)HTML, Photoshop and flash for you, all you need now is a programmer, and I know VERY little with php.

Heh, Make a satire one in paint!

You guys have to spread out from just doing forum sigs and stuff in photoshop! Learn to use the pen tool! Make some uber graphics, get hired, be the next ipod designer or something, just stop doing stupid forum signatures! Oh, and also! This is nice, and its also fun to use the clouds filter and dodge and burn it to your imagination, its like looking at clouds.

I run, Fedora Core 4, and Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. And Ubuntu is just so pretty its hard to pass up on, ya know!? And im one for the eye candy. And Im also trying to learn some of the realy hardcore extreme uber stuff with fedora core so yeah, I realy like Ubuntu, and many other people recommend it!

I have resisted to even try it! I know I will get addicted and then I wont get anything done. It sounds like a amazing game, but with school, a job, and other random stuff, Its just way to much to do ontop of World of Warcraft. Although if it was out for a console, I would pick it up and play it every so often. But one of the good things about wow is that you dont have to play on the public servers so you can play on a free private server!

Well I've been playing this for a while out of shear boredom and thought I'd mention it here.
Maple Story is more than an MMO, its a SSMMO (Side Scrolling MMO)

The concept of the game is awesome but the game it self isn't the greatest. Basically you are chibi-like anime characters in some random world. The game doesn't have much storyline. Also honestly it's just a giant grind session (killing monsters endlessly) with no real promise of success at the end. Either way its a good game to pass the time =D. If you want to play it you can find it at mapleglobal.com (sadly you have to use IE to access the site)

I tried to get into this game, but it screwed me since day 1. First off. It took four days just to get my account activation email so I could play the damn game. Second of all, its fricken gay, The maps are terribly designed, it has a steep learning curve and its had to start up on. And the damn controls are shot, Its screwed up for macs, And the concept is stupid... a Side scrolling MMo!

I like counter strike, and I keep coming back to it when I dont have a project to do or when im not playing a different game. But also its amazing that it started as a mod then it turned into one of the most popular games in the world. Even thought it doesnt have great graphics, its not new, but people still love it, play it, and update it! Some day, there will be my 2 favorite things (not to sound stereotypical) Wii + Halflife!!!

This is pretty cool, And also it wouldnt take that long at all to program or maintain, except for having to remake Pong and Pacman and all of those other lovely games in such a small small resolution.

These are pretty cool! If you need to make a object that has a cool kind of hand drawn style to it check out Teddy! Teddy is a program, online and offline that you can draw a circle or what ever and it morphes it into 3d. Its very good and it makes very complex models in a snap! Its realy nice to also get a Tablet, I picked up mine for 100$ on sale. So it turned out to be all good!

Goto File, Save as. Then save it as a gif. You may also want to use Jpeg's more than gifs because Jpeg can be alot more effiecient in some purposes. But also! Gifs are capable of using transparency. To do the transparency thing, you gotta find the "transparency" box and check it when you save your image in gimp. Also consider getting the trial for Photoshop, makes this all streamline and very easy!

I think that with the rise of wifi in mp3 players that someone/me will make a good sturdy device with a wheel or something to be able to easily navigate through MILLIONS of songs because by this time the world will be almost completly networked using cell towers, satellites, and wifi and etc that you use your device to connect to a service that has every song on it and you just stream it and if you like it you can download it to your device for listening in space. You will be able to put your stuff on the service for free under the CC license (creative commons) and if you want to watch videos on your device you can because it also has memory! The device will also have a social networking feature similar to Myspace or Last.Fm. Any idea's, Improvments!? Insults!?

Well, actually the Vista gui is rather effiecient since the Beta 2. I got beta 2 and i tried to run it on my gaming machine to see how it is..a 3800+ 2x amd 642 gbs Kingston ddr 2a x1600 pro Radeon 512 mb300gb hardrive 7200 rpm sataDvd RamAnd with the beta it was super laggy, it was the slowest os ive every seen! Realy, Sometimes even the os would run game installers because of driver issues and etc, It was horrible. But now the gui looks rather pretty, it stands a good chance to regain some momentum for Microsoft.

Wow powerleveling is just cheating! Its like you dont even get to play realy! Like its like going on a gameshow or something and reading how to win! Gah, i hate this!

Also a great way to start using XP/ windows more effieciently is by learning all the windows key + commands like windows key + r is run and windows key + e is Explorer and etc, i spent a half a hour and i learnt them all and made a nice sheet with them all written down.

I personnally use Fedora Core 6 for my server/office, which is in the basement. And for my living room i use Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, I have Myth Tv running on it and im following Cali Lewis from http://geekbeat.tv/ with her box. I also and running Puppy linux right now because the machine i happen to be on is pretty run down and Puppy linux is a very effiecient distro.

Wow, these are amazing, also theres a AWESOME pool on Flikr for Vista wallpapers. Some of them are realy amazing. But for myself i prefer Tree goats.

I actually would go with linux, probly Puppy linux or Damn small linux, or try Ubuntu if shes new to linux. Damn small linux and Puppy linux are very fast and effiecient for surfing the web and etc. But if shes new to linux you might wanna get her a book, seriously, linux can be realy hard on someone whos new to it and can't get any support.

And also! Since the new intel macs can now run windows theres no point not to get a mac! Even if your a gamer.

I wont be upgrading, infact im even more pushed away from windows now! A. Its tooken WAY to long for the release and it isnt a great improvement realy, yeah, it has better security , but a mac has better, year it looks cool.. But a mac looks cooler, Yeah, it has a new way of going through windows, macs have a better more efficient way. B. Its super expensive! Im not paying 125$ cdn for a upgrade to the basic version, hell for 200 and some dollars i can just get a ibook! C. Ive started to do alot more of that hip, trendy media stuff all those kids do like Photoshop and Flash, and etc, and well, id like to have a better platform for it! D. I hate having to reboot and troubleshoot everything like WHY MY SOUND WASNT WORKING or, etc. E. I need a labtop!. F...! Macs are alot cooler! And finaly the one we've all been waiting for! G! I want something thats not a piece of junk.

I am a scientist (B.Sc , M.Sc & Ph.D) in Science and with Master in Systems Engineering and many others disciplines(Operations Research, Economics, Finance, Accounting, Project Managements,..) But I am believe in God. Also I was 5 years in Soviet Union in the time of Communism and Marxism ideology and this didn't affect my belief.
As a researcher, System Engineer, I analysis the miracles of the systems in our body.

As I am designer and programmer, I enjoyed being a designer and creator for things the human intelligence can make. So I have sense of creation and designer and feel that the Universe has creator too. And our systems in our bodies has Intelligent designer.

I have studied Thermodynamics laws, Special and General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Newton Mechanics, Hydromechanics, Euclidean Geometry and Spherical Geometry, Optics and Electromagnetic Theory, Atomic Theory, with very high mathematical formulas and very complicated theories and equations.

Logic and all method of proof I aware for. I can distinguish between what is science and what not. Before you jump and say something I tell you that religion is not science but it is a faith and belief. I studied Darwin's Theory but I consider it as fiction and not facts.So it is not science and can be considered a belief.

I have the patience to read the scientific papers and research even if they are very new line or is not from my field or contradict my views because I have the basis grounds. So I have read thousands from different views about the philosophy, religion, beliefs,atheism, Darwinism , evolution, the Big bang Theory, astronomy, cosmology, etc. etc.

As I am aware about the scientific discoveries and universe facts, I couldn't find anybody could create a tiny cell of life from scratch. May be we could manipulate the genes or cloning sheep but this is not from scratch.

All what we study in science is "what is" and how it is going on.Why there is day and night?. The day is 24 hours and not 30. The earth is spanning around itself and go around the Sun etc etc. Why things is fallen to the ground ? [the gravity]. We put laws and formula to describe these phenomena. Verify the formula and correct it . But why these laws are in that shape and not not another. What the magnetism and electricity and what laws but why these law in that manner and not otherwise. What the concave or convex lenses and prism do to the light. What the different mirrors can do to the light and pictures... etc....

Few years ago, my sight had dropped suddenly. Four different specialists couldn't find any defects in my eyes. No operations can be done on my eyes and glasses can not help. Until MRI test has found a little tumer in the brain up of my nose. They suggested that this tumor may be doing pressure on my nerve from eyes to the brain and they suggested to make operation to get rid of it. I hesitated since I don't imagine that my scull will be broken in the operation. After their warning that I could be blind if I don't do that { reading and many hours using the computer are my life), I agreed to do the operation. Instead of opening the skull to reach the brain they did the operation through my nose. They removed the tumor but they damaged a very tiny thing is called pituitary Glands. The pituitary is a gland attached to the base of the brain which secretes hormones that govern the onset of puberty, sexual development of reproductive function.and sexual characteristic, mussels, hair, voice beside many other activities not related to me ( breast milk production, menstrual cycles, infertility, vaginal dryness, and loss of some female characteristics for women, growth hormones for children,...).Water levels in the body. Also this gland activate other gland functions. For example The pituitary secretes thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete hormones that affect body metabolism. .

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ [information extracted or sumerized from Medical Encyclopedia: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000343.htm and other resources]

The pituitary gland is a small structure that is located just below the brain. It is attached by a stalk to the hypothalamus, the area of the brain that controls its function.

The hormones secreted by the pituitary and their functions are:

- growth hormone (GH), which stimulates growth of tissues and bone
- thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete hormones that affect body metabolism
- adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which stimulates the adrenal gland to secrete cortisol which helps to maintain blood pressure
- prolactin, which stimulates female breast development and milk production
- luteinizing hormone (LH), which controls sexual function in males and females
- follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which controls sexual function in males and females
- antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which controls water loss by the kidneys
- oxytocin, which stimulates contraction of the uterus during labor and milk release from the breasts.

Also the pituitary gland controls the release of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone), which govern the onset of puberty, sexual development and reproductive function.

After the operation and loosing the pituitary glad, I have Hypopituitarism. Because the pituitary gland affects the other endocrine organs, effects of hypopituitarism may be gradual or sudden and dramatic. I gained weight(30 km), I become dehydrate my face hair stop growing ( I was happy for that), my voice become softer, frequently thirsty, frequently urine ...The extra weight (30 km) affect my heart pressure.

So they give me a hormone replacement therapy. I take tablets for Thyroxine, Cortisone.

As a caution of heart diseases, I have to take three medicine plus cholesterol tablets.

For not being dehydrate and to control myself and to not be wet and control my urine, I have to puff minirin nasal in my nose on the night and morning.

For edema in my feet (swallow feet), I have to take some tablets plus potassium supplements.

So I can not leave my place for long times. So I have to retire and sit before the computer many hours and shuttle between fridge to drink and Toilette .

All this because my tiny gland lost or damaged?.

I will explain it in seperate posting in series of postings to show the mircles in our body which can not be there by chance or evolution or big bang.

(sorry i dont know how to properly qoute)

Well, i think and i am backed by others that we will never know if god exists so we might as well just believe in it because otherwise we will be sad and its nice to believe in something.

Mentos and coke is a great, i mean awesome way to waste 2$ at you local discount store and have fun for about 30 seconds, go try something else, like making a patato gun or something, or visit http://www.rotteneggs.com/ or try to google it! Even search Digg for Easy explosion or Easy Gun!
