A can't give you a lot of constructive feedback. Unfortunately, the fact is I don't have the code for your layout, so I can't judge how truly well your layout is. I can only see into the outside of the design. The things I would say about the mere appearance of the page is that you should define the right column a little better, you should put your about page on a seperate page, and the blue bottom does not agree with the top. Perhaps you should change the top to agree with the bottom or vice versa.

D- is what I will give as well, because it isn't much of a speech, and the grammar isn't up to boot. You have a lot of refining to do.

Well, you've still got quite a few tables in your design, so it might be a good idea to clean those up. Visually the site seems quite good, and it seems the template wasn't ripped off from some site, so that's even a better plus. You've already got the content setup for the site. I'd give it a 4 out of 5.

You can take any distrobution - they're going to end up running the same applications and such - they're built from the same original kernel, though there are tweaks here and there that will force you to recompile sometimes. The only people that need to use old applications are those on mainframes. You don't need backwards compatibility for the most part as new versions of most Linux applications are always coming out. You just need to download the latest package. I've never had a problem with Linux in terms of recompiling when I've used it, especially with the Debian based distros which just require you to download a package - no recompiling or compiling required. Plus, there's an easy to use interface provided caled Synaptec if you are physically incapable of reading a manual. As I've said, if you use the Debian based distrobutions, you just need to click on the package you want from Synaptec and it will automatically install. Even without the GUI it doesn't take a brain to install something like the gimp. Just run in the command line:sudo apt-get install gimpThat's in the manual, and help file, which people apparantly are incapable of reading. Plus the proper code would be listed on the software's website. You can remove them easily as well. Even if you don't use the debian based distrobutions you have the Red Hat distrobutions, and those have RPMs which are also point and click install. As for hardware Ubuntu at least automatically configures it without problems. Slackware uses hotplug to automatically detect and install most hardware. For other distrobutions it's as easy as reading the manual, which won't be hard to do unless your illiterate, and in that case you probably wouldn't be using a computer anyway. I've also tried to configure hardware using Linux. After reading the proper manual pages I have found only two types of hardware are a royal pain to install using Linux: 1. 16:9 Widescreen Monitors (They work, just not in 16:9 if your distro doesn't auto-configure). 2. Wireless network adapters. I swear you need to be an IT expert to figure out how to configure those things. Other than that sound is as easy as running alsaconf, graphics is as easy as running Xconfig or Xsetup, and networks are configured at the setup. Things like more memory are unneeded of configuration by the OS. Drives are automatically recognized when checking for drives to mount. Et cetera. I believe there are three real reasons why Linux isn't going to gain much into the market: 1. It is obscure to the general population, who only know of "PCs" and "Macs", though it's like a comparision between "People" and "Caucasions" - They're the same thing hardware-wise. 2. The general population has been scared into not installing Linux by Microsoft's scare and FUD tactics. 3. Reading manuals is an apparent venial sin, and so the consumer will not install Linux because they don't want to read on how to use a computer, even though not reading that Toaster manual when trying to repair a problem ended up costing him more at a repair shop than if he just read the troubleshooting section.

Your link is broken. It should be http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ . You've added an extra "v". I think that many of them did deserve to be on there, but I'd also think Acropolis and Easter Island should have been added onto there. I also don't know why the statue of liberty was one of the candidates. There isn't anything particularily amazing about it even when you think of how it was built, which was easy compared to the other places, which are quite amazing given their size and the tools available...

MySpace is where people that don't deserve to have webspace on the internet get webspace on the internet. People make profiles there which make geocities pages look professionally designed. Then we have people who want to be your friend who don't even know you just to increase a stupid number on the front of their page. Bands that can't make decent music also inhabit myspace, never to be discovered. MySpace also encourages people to be vain, which I do not approve of, really. There is no point in being vain at all - it just inflates your ego, or deflates it when you realize that nobody really cares that you have six toes on one foot and you have a cat named fluffy you likes to eat watermelon and you call silly, nor do people care that your sister is fat. The only redeeming value of myspace are the forums, which really show that all the site is is a big forum with profiles which you can customize to a point that you shouldn't be able to. Theoritically MySpace would be better run off vBulletin.

Delphi is a programming language and software suite similar to VisualBASIC, only it doesn't suck as much because it doesn't make as bloated of applications like VisualBASIC(you can make the same application in C for probably half as less as a the VB application with twice the performance). I'd reccomend it to beginners as it is Pascal based, and Pascal is great for teaching programming because it is very strict in syntax but forgiving with features like memory management which C lacks.

I'd only reccomend doing that as a last resort since it completely closes the window, but then again that's one of the few ways you'll be able to do it with Internet Explorer.

I would foward this idea since it has a lot of potential to grow like most of the boards on here. I can see at least one topic in general chat would be able to be moved to the subforum rather than being on the general forum. I personally don't watch much TV so it wouldn't be of use to me, however.

I would probably marry Paris if I had no choice but in all honesty if I had the choice to not marry either of them I would take that choice because both of them seem to be a little dim and certainly excessively whiney.

After I discovered news sites like Digg and Slashdot I haven't really needed to watch the TV since I have the rest of my entertainment on my computer - games and websites and project gutenberg vanilla texts et cetera. There was one point where I valued the television more than the computer, but now I see that the television has so many limits compared to a computer - often news reports will come on the internet faster than they come on the television because typing, inserting a camera feed, and a small picture embedded into the page is much easier to execute than reporting news with the anchormen questioning the field reporters on the spot. Plus, political discussions on the internet seem to be filled with much more content and valid points than in a television news station. Besides, television is now filled with junk like reality shows and celebrity news that I don't want to watch because those shows unintellectual pointless waste of airtime in my opinion. I don't really care if Britney Spears shaved her head. If some teenager did it and reported it to the media I don't think they would care, so why should I care about some star doing it? They don't have any divine right to be any more reported than we are if they haven't contributed a fair amount of good things to society than substandard television and other various facets of entertainment.

Besides the possibility of lacking meta tags, there's also the problem of the fact that your site had nothing and it probably didn't want to index another empty Joomla site. I don't know if this is an actual part of the code or not, but it is a certain possibility that it didn't want to index your site at all.

Google seems better than Yahoo. I personally don't like to use either search engine as I prefer Clusty, which clusters your results into categories so you don't wade through the junk that you don't want to wade through like you would on a Google or Yahoo search. I think Ask.com has a better image search than Google, as well, though not every crawler crawls over the same stuff so it's always good to use multiple search engines to find what you need in addition to looking back more than one page in Google and other search engines. I often see people that can't find things on Google and they don't even look through the second page of results. That is one of the reasons why they fail to get what they want.

I'm guessing C++ is the language you are using. type name;Where type is the type of variable. Where name is the name of the variable. The type can be int for integers, float for real numbers, char for characters(it will only store one character if it isn't an array or pointer), and a host of various other types that you might not find useful under normal circumstances at this point. This is the basic way to declare variables in any C-like language(Java, C, C++, mainly) but PHP, and Perl which don't require variables to be defined. To assign a variable a value: name = value; Remember to put these in your functions like main() or it will be a global variable. Global variables are frowned upon in C.

The internet is more like the Earth: It's got a large population, there's pollution, there's many different countries, protests to save the internet, different administration models that reflect despotism and democracy, companies and charlatans trying to sell stuff to you, and other various things that paralell to the world and whatnot. There's a reason why they sometimes call the internet a virtual world - it pretty much is one.If you want to go into your comparision of the Universe - the internet is the universe, servers are galaxies, sites are stars, and some are lucky enough to have orbiting objects around them which represent the users. ISPs are black holes trying to suck the content out of sites by forcing the websites to pay. White holes are those trying to stop the black holes. Comets are flamers and asteroids are trolls, trying to hurt planets(users) by smashing into them. Red giants are sites whose userbase is about to collapse, and white dwarfs are sites which lack any popularity anymore. Nebulas are new sites trying to pull their content together. Moons are sockpuppet accounts of users. Neutron stars are regularly populated sites that aren't completely popular. I could go on and on on this metaphor, but it's starting to get a tad tedious.

I'm indifferent to it. It isn't a Ren & Stimpy or Angry Beavers. Those shows rocked.

Let your users decide which window they want it in. Don't open things up in new windows, or in the case of today tabs. Stationary backgrounds are okay, but don't be a myspace user - tilt it to the left of the main text(NO TILING) and make sure to make the main site text background color opaque(no background showing through) so everything is visible if your background is garish. Frontpage is a terrible program for creating web pages. Its code is IE specific, bloated, and sometimes requiring the use of extensions not every host wants to waste time buying. Most pages I've seen created with it are substandard and rather poor quality compared to even 100% dreamweaver created websites.

Dust, or humus as it is called, is one integral part in farmable soil. Without dust, weathering and erosion cannot make good quality soil with the help of other forces.

Last time I had a site hosted here it was very quick to respond. I haven't used cPanel on Xisto this time around since I'm not using anything that requires a MySQL database, Fantastico, or the use of any other service that is acessible through cPanel.

I learned HTML through dreamweaver, and then learned how to make what I learned from dreamweaver better.

I have to agree with everyone else here. What is the big deal? If she's bisexual and she's comfortable telling people about it deal with it. There isn't much you can do about it. Is there some information you withheld to us about it hurting you in some way in school? I don't think it can really harm you in any way. What are people going to do - ridicule you for a decison that you yourself had not made? Any ridicule should be illogical, unwarranted, and ignored for the two reasons metioned.

My first system was an Apple ][GS. Sure, it wan't a console, but it had quite a few games that I played on it - Oregon Trail, Ancient Land of the Ys, The Immortal. All of them were quite fun while the system lasted.

You either get the basic or the extended plan for your site. It's one hosting account you get, not two. You will probably need 40 credits if you want your hosting account(if you get the better plan) to stay afloat for a few days after getting your account.

There's probably some correlation between the verse and the date the hijackers decided to pull their plan but anything else is just the creative thinking of some people who have just a little too much time on their hands.

You click on their profile. Usually there's a title showing that they are an admin or a moddie. Here admins are bold and in red. Moddies are in green, IIRC. If you need an admin or moddie I believe if you click "members" in the community menu you can single out the admins and moderators in question. Once you get the first plan 10 credits are subtracted from the total amount of credits you have. You must ask for an upgrade which will subtract 30 credits from your total amount.
