Perhaps Ubunta or cygwin for me. I use primarily windows. Sage runs on windows in a VMware virtual machine that visualizes Ubunta. Sage is relevant to me because I studied a lot of math in school. Cygwin brings unix functionality to windows. Given I use windows I presume this tool will be useful to me in the future.

If you lean Scala it will run on both java and dot net. I presume it interops well with both systems. Less of course is written in this language since it is newer and it may take more effort to learn.

Pain and damage are two different things because with damage your body may go into shock and you won't feel any pain.

Thank you. That seems to work, in my web browser but not when I use yahoo pipes. When I try it with yahoo pipes I get the error: "error fetching http://forums.xisto.com/Paypal-Safe-Niew=getlastpost (301 Moved Permanently)" I guess, I'll have do do it the hard way.

Is there anything I can add to the URL to get the last page of the thread?I know in vBulliton, I can add "&goto=newpost"I'm not sure if there is something simmilar that is standard for open discussion. I would like to use it to get the last page of a thread at Xisto.

That's weird because I have ping.fm, posting updates to shoutem for me and shoutem is also a laconi.ca based microblog. How did you set it up? Also if you really can't get it to work (note ping.fm has a support form) you could consider trying hellotxt.

I forgot to add, you can also get RSS feeds from some email services. I know both google, and yahoo support rss feeds. I believe googles service is better because it uses both password verification and feed encryption. I think yahoo only uses pasword verification. This is handing because sometimes the only way some forms give updates is though email. Gmail, lets you sort your email, into categories, and you can get a seperate feed for each catagory. This is very handy if you are on a lot of mailing lists.

Lots of forums have rss feeds for such things as notices, new topics, new posts, you could even I presume create rss feeds for forum status updates/moods. If the form doesn't have feeds you can create feeds by parsing pages with yahoo pipes. I haven't used identity.ca but the following service pingvine http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ claims to be able to publish rss feeds to (Twitter or Ping.fm or Identi.ca accounts). I know twitterfeed can publish rss both to ping.fm and twitter (not sure if it can post to identity.ca). From ping.fm you can forward your status update to identity.ca. I'm not sure if identity.ca allows you to import feeds from twitter. Hellowtxt can also publish to indentity.ca since idenity.ca is a laconi micro blog. I'm not sure which service will support multiple laconi micro blogs first but if you need to publish to multiple laconi mircroblogs, I recomened trying out both pingfm and hellotxt before you create multiple accounts of either. There are so many possibilities and all you have to do is be able to visualize the path of information flow. Try to not create any loops in your information flow. As for dealing with high trafic forums, yahoo pipes, lets you choose how many items, go to your feed. So you, could limit your feed to say, the posts which you rank as the top 50. You could establish some ranking system,based on: say google rank, how recent the post is, who posted it,...etc. Then sort the feed items by rank and take the top 50. Twitterfeed lets you control how frequently feeds are updated. Therefore, set twitter feed to post at some regular time interval and figure out how many posts you want in that time interval and use yahoo pipes to limit the number of feed items to that number.

I might be able to help you find a way around that. For instance if Orkut alows you to feed status updates in though twitter then you can have ping.fm forward it to twitter then into orkut. If Orkut allows you to have status updates come from rss feeds there are so many possibilities because so many social networking services give you the option to view rss feeds. I have myself setup for the possibility of sending separate feeds to separate social network without necessary needing to log into any of them. I do this by setting one of my ping.fm group configured just post to shoutem. I create catagories for my posts to shoutem. The catories are nammeds as follows #cattagoryname. I can then use yahoo pipes, to filter these catagories as I want into seperate feeds, which I can then send to twitter (see: http://twitterfeed.com/) and many other social networkins services. P.S. I like shoutem much better then twitter, but unfortunately it is not integrated in with as many social networking services. Also as a side note, there is a similar service to ping.fm, called hellowtxt. Hellotxt does not yet have the firefox plugin complete but I belive will be able to post to multiple Laconi.ca acounts before ping.fm does. Laconi.ca is an open microblog standard used by shoutem and many other microblogs.

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I don't know much about windows live application, truthfully I've never used anyway, but I'd be curious to learn how microsoft live capabilities compare to facebook.

Yay, I also use windows live and pidgin but if I had enough friends on another messenger service then I might use that.

Until, Xisto gets an RSS feed for Xisto I created one using Yahoo Pipes: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It still needs some work (I need to add a date). Do do this I'll have to do some more advanced stuff like I did here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

There are ways to spend less time on social networks. You can use ping.fm with ping fire to post status updates to multiple social networks at the same time without logging into any of them. You can block all apps on facebook which you feel are a waste of time. You can get a lot of rss feeds from social networks and mash them together, so you can get information about what is going on in several networks without logging into any of them. If you do things this way social networks become a great way to comunicate, stay in touch, and distribute information.

On another note here is a documentary on global warming which argues against the consensus: The Great Global Warming Swindle

It depends on what method you use to construct past temperatures. If you go by boar holes you might think it was warmer 500 years ago. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png Then again you may not: https://www.nap.edu/read/11676/chapter/2 It all depends on how you mine the data.

That statement is so meaningless. Without knowing how much a change in CO2 concentration will effect temperature, or what portion of CO2 the ecosystem will absorb, knowing that CO2 can have an effect on temperature is meaningless. Me farting has an effect on temperature but I don't think it is going to end the world.

Yahoo is coming up with some awesome, products, like yql, yahoo pipes, babblefish,........ Maybe it is too late for them and they don't have enough of a buisness model behind it but I'd love to see them succeed on their own.

So, they weren't born gay, they were just boar attracted to the same sex? Isn't that the same thing?

Speaking of pollution, don't forget, the disposal of the batteries, and the pollution generated in the production of the vehicles. Everything has a price.

I'm sure we can get some idea by measuring how much each area of the brain is stimulated.

The earths climate is a hard thing to understand. Weather or not people are having a significant impact on the earths temperature is a matter of debate but what ever impact we may be having is certainly much less then suggested by Al Gore's rants.

I don't see what is gained by this for user's. If people wanted to use Microsoft search engine then they would. I've been lately discovering some cool serviced yahoo has and hope that microsoft will keep them.

I don't think the RSS feed is configured right. On whatever forum I click on when I click on the rss icon in the url all I get is Xisto announcements. The browser I'm using is firefox.

I found it. The following tip was very helpful: "usally can tell if a RSS is running if you see a RSS Icon in url box in your browser." http://forums.xisto.com/topic/50694-how-can-rss-feed-from-other-web-site/ I don't know if this works though. The feed I get by doing this may only be Xisto announcements.
