Wow... -400 Mycent

Yupp... I've been looking into some of them, especially some of the Youtube videos. But, I went ahead and got one of the commercial products that you have mentioned. One of them is a cooling fan that you place underneath the laptop and it helps cool it down a bit. It still sort of overheats when I am watching videos, or movies, but for the most part the cooling pan has done the trick for now :angel:

I can't really say for sure what the fastest browser would be. For me, personally, I use Mozilla Firefox. It isn't the fastest browser that I have come across, but it is the most efficient and has a lot of great features and plugins that really enhance my surfing experience. In my experience, I believe that Google Chrome was much faster than Firefox. I do not use Chrome because I am really just not used to it and it was too much of a learning curve for myself to have to handle. I also didn't like how it would cache some of the pages so if I was ESPN and closed the page then went back to ESPN the page would still be the same, it would not have updated!

Or you can just go on Microsoft's websites and view videos, screenshots, ect of what Windows 7 looks like and then compare it to what you currently have. That way, you do not need to go get a separate hard disk just so you can try it out... unless of course you already have one

Hey Herman!

Today in one of my classes we learned about Logical Fallacies. I think what you posted would fall under the hasty generalization logical fallacy. What you're saying has some merit to it, but not much. In any situation when you are buying products from people who aren't registered businesses, you are going to run into problems. The funny thing is, though, that I've been shopping on Ebay for almost 3 years now and have not witnessed much of the problems you have. Sure, some people do charge a bit much for shipping, but a lot of vendors that I buy from offer free shipping. Furthermore, if for whatever reason the product I get isn't what I expected, I'll email the vendor and ask for a refund. IF, the vendor fails to give me a refund, I'll just open a dispute with paypal and they will usually give me my money back that way. So, Ebay doesn't suck. IF you use it properly. You, on the otherhand, have probably used it one what... once, twice? Maybe you haven't even used it? Because it doesn't seem like you know much about it...

Oh yeah most definitely. French is a great language if taught correctly, just in my instance the whole class just made me not want to learn about French nor expand on the "limited knowldege" I had gained through my 3 years of it (I didn't take it my senior year, thank God.) :angel:

Yupp, that's right. Just make sure the tutorial is 100% yours and is not copied from another site, or source or anything like that. Copying posts is against the rules and will get you warned and you do not want that to happen

Yes, but it lasts for one full year so you can post for, lets say a month or so and then you don't have to for a very long time afterwards. Furthermore, Opaque himself said that this plan would fit well for people who have a credit card and combine it with their mycents. So, for example, they use some of their MyCent to cover some of the costs, but use their credit card to pay off the rest.

Okay I am going to give my lengthy views on what I think about for the topic of Euthanasia and whether or not I think the person itself should be allowed to decide or whether the family of the person who is under the scrutiny of euthanasia should decide upon it.First of all, I agree with one poster when he said it is in our own free will whether to keep living or take our life. If one is suffering from an incurable disease and that it is causing him great pain, then it is only rightful and merciful if he is allowed to end his agony by means of euthanasia, but of course, only if he wanted to.To add to that, I think this is only reasonable if that person has in his/her will that if they were ever in a position where they were suffering that they would WANT to be put to death. In that case, I think their wish should be commanded. In the instance where there is NO will set outside, then I think it is up the parents to decide whether or not their son/daughter or relative should be allowed to stay alive or no.

Wow.. you're paying $42.50 for a 512MB connection? That seems sort of expensive, but of course I live in the USA so the prices are bound to be much, much different. Furthermore, 1.36 an hour for dial-up is just a ridiculous price. Especially since dial-up is so very slow. Anyway, would you mind tell us what country you live in so we maybe can figure out why the interent and bandwidth, ect costs in your country or so expensive?

I disagree with you when you say that it won't be convenient to the police department and all the units because there are a lot of people that enjoy wasting their time making jokes to the authorities and the text mesage will be the idoneus method to continue disturbing the law. If you think about it, when a person sends a text message to someone else, the person they send it to will know where the text message is coming from (the #.) And in the instance of the police department, they can take the phone # and know exactly where you are calling from and thus prosecute you if you are going to prank phone them or send them jokes ect. Also, what do you mean when you say "Because of that I think that all the jokers and funny guys have to pass a week in prison at least; and learn that anybody can laugh law."

Do not even get me started with the French language... I have a bad history with French that dates back to my freshman year of high school when I decided it would be a good idea to pick French as my foreign language choice. (In my high school, we were given the option of choosing one of four different languages in which we would like to go into. The choices were: French, German, Spanish, and Japanese.) For me, I decided that it would be good I went into French because I thought it would be the easiest choice out of the four. Stupidly enough, it was not and even it was easy that really is not a good premises to decide on what class to choose. You should pick a class because you are interested in what is be taught and not because you are trying to get an easy A. That is beside the point, anyway, and so my first year of French began. It started out relatively easy. We went through the alphabet and began learning how to say things like "Je suis. Tu Es, Il est, ect." I was understanding most of things we were doing and my grade was an A. I was beginning to think that maybe French was as easy as I thought and that it was a good decision. So my freshman year ended and then it was time for us to decide on classes for the next school year. I decided to pick French so I could get more fluent in it and because my first year was so great that it just made sense to take it for a second year. Anyway, the second year was TOTALLY different. We had a new teacher, who was not as nice or good at teaching as the first one. She really would be in a pissy moods and take our her anger on the students. Now, sometimes kids screw around and the teachers get angry which is 100% acceptable, but in all these instances we never did anything. In fact, my French 2 class was made up of roughly 10 students who were extremely shy and introvert. Anyway, so as the semester progressed, most of us all had D's. My parents were called in for conferences and that is when the teacher told my parents that I was lazy and had no determination at all. She told me that I would eventually fail unless I got my "act" together. All of this was total BS. I did all my work in that class, but when it came to her tests she would put things on there that we never went over. Some of them included "What is the delicacy of France." "What time system is France in." They were all questions like that which would've been easily answered by me had we gone over them. To make matters worse, my parents believed all the bull crap that the teacher had told them and they insisted that I begin studying 24_7 for this class so I would avoid failing. So, I did as they wished and began studying as much as I can. I would literally study for 8-11 every night and my French was becoming better and better. I soon was able to increase my D to a B and then was offered to go into French Honors. This is where the story gets worse. I did not want to take French Honors. I was satisfied that I was able to achieve a B in that class and going into French Honors, with the same teacher I might add, was not something I wanted to get my self into. BUT, my parents assured me if I studied I would do fine and they wanted me to get into some honors classes before I graduated. So, my junior of year of high school came and here I was in French 3 Honors. Thinks seemed to have gotten better when I started out in the class, but then things turned for the worse one day in class. I was talking to a girl behind me (who was pretty hot :angel:) and the teacher was in the middle of a lesson. My teacher didn't ask me to stop and allowed me to continue talking, but this was all apart of a bigger plot. She then proceeded to tell me to leave her class and that I was not allowed to go back the entire week. I was shocked, but I thought that all of this was her speaking in anger and I returned to class the very next day. When I was going into the classroom, approaching my desk she pointed and me and said NO. She asked me to leave and said that I was not allowed to come back to class until next Monday. I thought this was more than ridiculous, but she obviously didn't and I was forced to follow her commands. When Monday came along, I was so far behind in that class that I ended up failing the semester. It brought my GPA so low that I was not able to recover (Good thing it was an honors class.) French class was probably the WORST experience of my young life and it really as ruined the language of French for me forever.

Dang it... my run of being the first person to welcome a new member to the community has officially ended. Eh, it wasn't much of reign anyway

I totally agree with you when you say you do not like the fact that there are a lot of trash in the world, river, lakes and all other environmental areas where they SHOULD NOT be. What I kind of don't understand with your post is where you talk about how you dislike food that you receive in the mail? What are you referring to there? I've never received food in the mail and have never heard of companies or businessmen selling food and sending them via the mail so the consumer can then eat it at their hours. But yeah I do agree with most of what you're saying. There will always be NATURAL DISASTERS! Tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, rain, snow, hail, thunderstorms, ect. They will always exist no matter what we do, but if we allow ourselves to pollute the earth that we live and pollute the environment around us then what we are doing is making the natural distastes and all of that WORSE. But... when it comes down to the aspect of "global warming" is contributing to all of this, then no I do not agree and think that part of the equation is wrong

Wal-Mart is awesome! It took almost 6 years of protesting and petitions and finally our town allowed Wal-Mart to come in our city. I cannot tell you how much money I have saved from it being there... there is literally everything and ANYTHING you need you can get from Wal-Mart. They should start allowing people to rent out rooms in Wal-Mart

Wow anwii... 300-350 people? That is incredibly small. My town has roughly 1500-300 people, somewhere around that # and for me, personally, I thought that was incredibly small. Even in my town, EVERYBODY knows EVERYBODY and whatever my business is, it's usually the person next to me's too. My next door neighbor is actually telling people right now that I'm posting about my town on Trap (Not really, that would be kind of creepy actually :angel:) But yeah, how do you handle such a small town? Is it just as nosy as my town

First to introduce yet another member... I'm on a roll :angel: Anyway, hey there foken... welcome to Xisto. The premise of Xisto is that people like you and I can post on these forums and get free web hosting while doing so. The way all of this works is Xisto uses a credit system called 'MyCent.' With MyCent, every time you post you earn credit based on how much quality that post is. The more quality posts you make, the more MyCent you earn. Once you earn enough MyCent, you can then exchange your MyCent for free web hosting, domain names, ect. One thing to note about MyCent and Xisto is it's the quality of the posts that matter not the quanity. Quality > Quanity Somebody could easily make 100 posts and earn a set of Mycent, yet somebody else could only post 10 posts but earn MORE Mycent because his/her posts were longer, more thorough and contributed more. That's the way the MyCent system is built, so keep that in mind while you are browsing around the forums. If you are still unsure about the whole Mycent system even with my length explanation, you can view this link where Opqaue(The site admin) goes into even more detail http://forums.xisto.com/topic/62216-everything-about-mycents-your-virtual-money-mycents-credit-system-30-point-system/ One thing you also should do is read the forum rules. The rules and the readme are all located here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ That's all... have fun and if you need anything you can always PM me if you would like

I also agree with a lot of other people in this thread that 911 texting is a really good idea. Think about it for a second... if somebody is in a situation where they are struggling for their lives or they are being robbed, kidnapped, ect then texting 911 might be a lot easier then calling 911. Not only that, if you aren't trying to make noise or cause suspicion to yourself then this is also very helpful. FURTHERMORE, some people use prepaid or other phones so if they run out of minutes what are they supposed to do? I'm not sure if they are still allowed to call 911, but if the person still has some text remaining then this could quite possibly save their life and others around them. For me, this is a no-brainer and I hope that more and more towns/cities/states implement this

That seems like a trend with many different anti-virus packages. Mcafee was good, do not get me wrong, but just like Kaspersky it was resource intensive. That's the problem with most anti-virus software, it takes up way too much resources, but sometimes the more resources the better.

Right now my internet is bundled with our cable and our phone. I think we pay somewhere around 90 dollars per month for all three of these amenities. Our internet speed is pretty impressive. I currently am using wireless internet and that sort of slows the speed a bit, though if I were to connect the computer with a LAN wire to connect to the internet it would be much. much faster

I really do not use Gaiaonline, I do have an account, but will I seldom use it. It does seem like a very nice forum with many posts. I was actually looking at a site that ranked all the forums in the world and which ones had the most posts and members and Gaia Online was on the top of the lists, so that just tells you something about the type of community that the people run over there!

A flushdns doesn't just help when your Gmail is not working... it helps when you experience any sort of web related issues. I remember when I did use Gmail that it was sort of buddy. Given, I did use it when it first came out and it was in the beginning of the extensive "beta" process that it had to go with. Yahoo mail, on the other hand, has always been reliable for me. Though, I didn't really like the interface of it that much, especially compared to that of Gmail or similar services. Though, at the end of the day, I would rather use email that looked ugly but worked then use mail that looks awesome, but is extremely buggy and doesn't work.

I actually use Norton and it really doesn't hog any resources at all. It is much less resource intensive then what my old anti-virus package was (Mcafee.) Mcafee really used up way too many resources and it made my computer extremely slow whereas Norton keeps it virus free and it still maintains a good speed

Even so, I've been around many business settings/environments and still have not heard of NOD so maybe it's just not common in my area. But I do agree with the face that just b/c you haven't heard of something, doesn't mean it's bad. I remember it took me a while to finally discover MyBB and I still think that it's one of the best free web software out there. Just because I didn't hear about, didn't mean it was terrible software or anything :angel:
