  1. Well Live Search is certainly improving...now with xRank! xRank is something to search the popularity of most searched celebrities on the Internet. You can try it out here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ . It's still in beta, and I think that I would have no use for that at all . Also with the above URL, there are "suggested search queries" that help you find "better results". Works for everyone? I don't think so.
  2. I did a quick Google search on "Microsoft Acrylic" (with and without quotation marks) and it returned things from magazines and other media sources such as PC Mag and stuff but a search on the actual microsoft.com site http://forums.xisto.com/ returned no product page, no download link, etc. Maybe Microsoft has decided not to continue this product. I know they have released other graphic design tools such as Paint .NET and Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 (part of the Microsoft Office 2000 suite).
  3. Umm correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this code apply JavaScript functions to one page only:<script type="text/javascript"> function one() { // some code here } function two() { // some code here } </script>
  4. Ok, so you know HTML. That's good. Do you know CSS to go with HTML to style the pages? That would be essential. For the PHP part, you will have to figure out what you want to computer to do (record a value, perform an attack, log the user in?) and you will have to write a script or function for it to do that. There are various references and tutorials including http://php.net/ and http://www.w3schools.com/php/. If you need help on specific parts, you can always go into the Programming category and ask for assistance in the PHP forum on Xisto. Good luck!
  5. I noticed this yesterday when I tried logging into my site at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I know this isn't my issue because /tmp is a global server directory. Anyone else experiencing this?
  6. From reading several articles on CHM, it looks like that compiled help files are now being depreciated and are being replaced with Microsoft Assistance Markup Language files. I think that Windows Vista cannot open CHM files because the help program was not included. Also, from reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Compiled_HTML_Help, it shows that you can extract CHM files by using certain Windows, Max and Linux tools, without third-party software like the one you mentioned. I think that I would do this rather than download software to convert from a proprietary file format to another proprietary file format.
  7. The site doesn't look very professional, I don't really trust this. If you do decide to try out something like this, use a junk email address (but has to be real) and ALWAYS make sure where you are sending your personal information (check privacy policies, etc). Be careful when installing browser add-ons or software, they may contain spyware or viruses.
  8. Please verify that your post has correct image links because I see a message saying image not found.
  9. A server administrator allowed me to try openSuSE on a server machine (with the GUI of course) and I found it to be more familiar if I were a Windows user. It includes something that looks like the Start menu and popular programs. I think it runs on the KDE desktop environment so it includes Konqueror and Firefox.It may take a while to get used to, but I would recommend openSuSE or Ubuntu to a beginner. I don't know about the installation process of openSuSE but it shouldn't be too hard judging from the function of the operating system.
  10. I guess vistas can be used in themes, but all I want to know is how to create a vista, not customize themes on Windows. And no, I don't mean rebuilding Windows Vista. I don't mean customizing a vista either, I want to know if I can make a vista.Someone mentioned some Linux software. Is there some open-source software that I can use to create my own vistas on Linux? Either that or I can use freeware on Windows to try to create my own vista. I don't want to purchase software to do this because I'm just experimenting with this.
  11. Recently, I bought a computer with an ATI 128MB video card that has 2 ports, 1 DVI and 1 VGA. I was wondering if it was safe to connect 2 monitors to both of the ports. There is also a yellow video out port, but I think that is for plugging in a VCR player.
  12. Could anyone tell me why this function would be useful (the purpose of this) and are there any issues with cross site scripting?
  13. Open standards are a good thing, but my favourite messenger application is still Windows Live Messenger. This is because almost all of my friends use the Windows Live network. In fact, I have 0 people on Google and 1 friend on Yahoo! Messenger. But still, compatibility is good. If only everyone would use the same instant messenging service...it would be easier to communicate online.
  14. I don't mean customizing a vista, because I don't think vista has lots of things you can customize in it. I mean how do you create one? Of course anyone can open existing ones and modify them any way they want, but I'm talking about creating one.As for OEMs, sometimes they include vista with their computers when you purchase them. I've only purchased my computers from Dell, and they included a default vista on it when it came.So what kind of software would you use to create a vista?
  15. I'm wondering how people use computer software to create a vista. I know that I can go onto Google or Yahoo! or whatever and download different vistas, but I was wondering if I could make my own that would be realistic.What programs do you recommend? I would prefer free, open-source software that preferably works on Linux. As for the companies providing CDs/packages of vistas, do they actually create it themselves or do they have to go to take them?Just wondering.
  16. It isn't working in Windows Vista either, is Safari "special" or something?? Are there any Windows plugins for it to block website (a blacklist)?
  17. I did not understand your post quite well. I think what you are trying to say is this: This is valid: <h1> some text </h1> <p>some text</p> This is also valid: <p>some text</p> <h2>some heading</h2> This is not valid ([X]HTML error) and redundant: <h1><p>Some text</p></h1> This is not valid: <p><h4>Some text</h4></p> By using valid XHTML Strict and CSS that isn't too fancy (syntax-wise, not appearance), you can be sure it is fairly consistent with most browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari), with some minor issues IE. (e.g. Do not use "fancy" things like table[summary^=Employee Info] because they won't be properly read in IE most likely.)
  18. I've never even gotten around to using this service. At school, we use either FTP commander if it is in a certain room or the command-line FTP utility "ftp".We used to be able to use My Network Places but they disabled that. Now I'm left with cmd + ftp.
  19. Dreamweaver is good for people coding very basic PHP / ColdFusion sites and non-dynamic sites that do not use server-side scripting or databases. With creating a site that needs to be updated separately by different offices, etc, a content management system would be most appropriate to use. Recommended ones are Drupal and Joomla, but you can also try them out at OpenSourceCMS. If you must use Dreamweaver, I have no clue how to accomplish such a large-scale website content system.
  20. I think I will stick with phpBB, I preferred phpBB2 over phpBB3 but for the sake of security and compatibility, I'll use phpBB3.The problem now is that I've lost most of my users.
  21. In addition to just mapping, Google Earth can also display information from other sources such as Panoramio and Wikipedia, along with three-dimensional buildings if someone has posted them (mostly things like the CN tower, CBC building, etc).I think that Google Earth is a very educational tool for anyone to use because of its extensibility.
  22. I thought that this program was included in Ubuntu Linux by default. Or maybe I accidentally apt-get downloaded it through Linux. Either way, the name sounds strangely familiar.
  23. Ok I found the solution. By adding all_generic_ide irqpoll, it loads properly. I think that invokes the IDE drivers, but I'm not sure. Time to edit my boot.lst file, if I know how...
  24. To view the source of ANY page: 1. Go to this: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ 2. In the Address field, enter the URL of the page you want to view source of. 3. Check the box called Show Source. 4. Click Check. Ignore (X)HTML errors if you aren't interested, but the validator will display the source along with markup errors if it is a page with valid character encoding.
  25. I have a CD that is labelled Windows Vista Home Premium 32BIT, but that restores an OEM version of Windows. The serial number is located on a sticker on the side of the computer, but I don't think I will try the torrent thing. I guess I'll keep searching for the IDE driver, or if someone could tell me how to download/activate it, that would be great. (BTW, my computer is a desktop!! I think that my laptop purchase will occur in approximately 2-3 years.)
