@wendylady and @SpiderVV,Only USB flash drives can be used with Windows Vista's Readyboost, so if the 20GB USB hard disk drive, it would not work and the device would have been rejected by Windows Vista.Personally, I don't think one can substitute a USB flash drive for real RAM, which performs way better considering that it is designed for storing quick access memory instead of long term storage.

If you read the fineprint on the website, this service is only 'free' assuming that you get free minutes to call landlines as part of your mobile phone package. Basically, you have to call their line first, after which they link you up to the 0800, 0808 or 0500 you wish to call. You still have to pay for the call to their 'free' line, either with free landline minutes or at the standard rate.As the saying goes, "nothing is free".

@Idolon, It looks like you posted a day after the original post was made from the thread starter. @ashutosh_malguri, Did you try to activate the theme through the Wordpress control panel after uploading it yourself? The problem with trying to upload themes and plugins through the control panel is well documented throughout the internet (Google search: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=wordpresient=firefox-a), with the easiest solution is to FTP your themes and plugins into their appropriate folders and setting the CHMOD permissions correctly.

The question really is whether the phone really needs a 12 megapixel camera. In reality, unless you plan to totally replace your digital camera with a camera phone, it wouldn't really be a good idea. One of the main problems would be battery consumption, since the flash would require a high level of electrical energy to power. Also, as a result of putting a 12 megapixel camera inside a small mobile phpone, it would not produce an image of the same quality and clarity as a dedicated digital camera, especially when compared to the Digital Single-Lens Reflex cameras (DSLRs). Another downside would be the cost of this new phone, making it cheaper to purchase separately a phone and a digital camera.

I will give a summary of what I think:Sony notebooks are expensive in comparison to similarly specified notebooks, but have a superior build quality due to their carbon fibre laminate chassis compared to a normal cheap plastic chassis.Apple notebooks are also expensive compared to other notebooks, but are unique with an full aluminimum chassis (none of the other notebook vendors have implemented this) and runs Mac OS X (no notebooks from other notebook vendors can officially run Mac OS X).Alienware, now a subsidiary of Dell, creates very powerful notebooks destined for the gaming enthuasists who required a powerful desktop-replacing gaming machine. This prices is really high, higher than those of Sony and Apple, becaue Alienware notebooks often uses top-of-the-line hardware components and have extra components such as a second GPU and a second hard disk drive.HP and Dell notebooks aim for both the consumer and business markets, with a distinct ranges of consumer and business products.Asus notebooks are generally the cheapest compared to notebooks with similar specifications. They do feel cheap in that way the the plastic chassis is not very firm, but you get a good value for money if you choose to purchase one.Toshiba generally is aimed at the business market with ultra-portables, but do have some low-end consumer models.I suppose the decision in choosing which brand to purchase from ultimately comes down to how much value are you getting for your money. Most notebooks comes with a decent CPU, at least 4GB of RAM, a suitable hard disk and a dedicated graphics unit.

Apparently, I heard that a majority of income Rapidshare gets are from people subscribing to their premium member service to be able to download large amounts of pirated material. It seems like their whole business model revolves around this, so if Rapidshare is legally ordered to remove all copyrighted material from their site (almost 99% of the file content), it is going to go bankrupt, because no files available for download from Rapidshare means no premium members and no subscription income.Technically, Rapidshare is already removing illegal material from their download site whenever the files are reported by the copyright holder, but do you think that Rapidshare should be forced to proactively seek out illegal material? I would say that it would be really hard to do since it would require a lot of employee labour to go through the millions of gigabytes of data stored on Rapidshare servers.

It could also be the timezone differences around the world that prevent members from being online at around the same time. For example, at the time I am writing this post, there are only 2 members online at the moment. However, looking at the stats, there seems to a significant number of guests online at the moment, with 428 guests in the last 15 minutes.By the way, I am finding that there are not many new topics of discussion going on in the Xisto forum, so I have moved over to posting in the Xisto forum, where there seems to be a lot more activity going on.

I suppose that I don't really support cloning, in the way just to create another 'copy' of the organism you are cloning. It isn't really the right thing to do because it is upsetting the natural balance life and subjects the cloned organism to unnecessary risks, such as medical problems e.g. Dolly the cloned sheep suffered arthritis and also died young compared to natural born sheep. This is particularly so because those medical conditions were not the result of genetic heritage, but because of genetic defects that occured as the direct result of the cloning process. However, if the cloning process could bring medical benefits to humans without causing harm to any organisms, I would support that, although I think there will always be risks with cloning where the natural genetic DNA is tampered with. I would note though that genetic mutation can happen anywhere to anyone considering the amount of radiation around us, no one knows for certain whether cloning was the cause of the genetic defects. Check out these articles on Dolly the cloned sheep: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/1741559.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2764039.stm

Google still rules supreme in the search engine wars because it has one of the largest search indexes and is simple and easy to use. In today's world, it is unlikely for someone already using Google as their default search engine to change their search provider unless there is something strikely unique to that search engine that attracts them over.I suppose I am one of those people, since if I cannot find the right information from searching on Google, I just cannot be bothered to use other search engines. Also, I don't see anything fascinating about Bing, the new search engine, that would attract me over to becoming a Bing user.

This is my view of the so-called 'racism' in Australia.I've lived in Australia for 12+ years, gaining citizenship around 4-5 years after birth. I have noticed, yes, racism does occur in day to day life. It is bound to occur anywhere in the world, whenever their are different racial groups living togetther.On the issue of Indian students being attacked, I personally do not think it is racially motivated. The real reason that they, or anyone would have been, attacked is because they are 'soft' targets, for example, people carry visible valuables (e.g. iPods, laptops). These 'soft' targets are usually targetted by thieves simply because it is obvious to them that they are carrying valuables and that thieves won't end up 'empty-handed'.For me, everyday during the morning and afternoon, I walk to and from the train station to catch a bus to school. Have I been robbed before? No. Why? Because I don't carry visible valuables i.e. never carry an iPod and wear earphones. Have been racially abused? Possibly, by people sticking heir heads car windows and swearing or pressing the car horn without reason.It is really unfortunate that only a proportion of what happens is picked out by the media and turned into a fiasco. Yes, Indian students have been attacked, but what about the other 99% of attacks that happen to the rest of community? Where's that in the media's report? I personally believe that this issue has been really taken out of proportion and manipulated.

The real problems with purchasing, running and maintaining an electric car at the end of the day is the cost, level of convenience and whether it really is worth it.First, the electric car, though not a luxury car, is still very expensive when compared with the average family car, because of the costs of researching a new technology and production has not reached a stage of optimum cost efficiency.Secondly, it is in some ways incovenient to have to charge up the batteries of the electric, especially since charging a flat battery to full charge will take a lot more time than the time required to fill up a petrol tank in a conventional vehicle. Considering that people lead very busy lives and need their cars to a travel around throughout the day, having to maintain the electric car with enough power to run through the day would be an unnecessary inconvenience to drivers.Finally, is the electric car really worth it? Electric cars were originally hyped to be more 'environmentally friendly' than a petrol car, supposedly reducing the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. However, the electricity used to power these cars needs to generated somewhere. Electricity is currently produced by environmentally polluting power stations, with solar energy generation making up only a small percentage of power generation. Instead of supposedly reducing greenhouse gas emission, we are just polluting the atmosphere in a different way when using an electric car.

A really fast computer is needed because all the Wii and Gamecube hardware needs to emulated software-based, which puts a heavy strain on computer hardware resources because it isn't natively supported. In reality, it is cheaper to purchase a real gaming console than to buy a computer that is powerful enough the run the games efficiently inside an emulator.

The real key to scanning a large quantity of loose leaf paper is a printer that has a document feeder which automatically feeds document into the scanner to be scanned to the computer. Without this, you would spending a lot more time and labour in order to get it down properly.

I wish I could, but I don't have an Xbox 360 or any gaming consoles for that matter. It is really a shame that it isn't coming out PC anytime soon, like all the Halo games (some have been ported to PC, but usually after long delays of almost years).

Since I don't consider myself to a gaming enthuasist or fanatic, I just use my regular mouse for gaming purposes. I have a Microsoft Wireless Entertainment 8000 mouse with laser tracking, wireless Bluetooth connection and rechargeable battery. The only problem is having to recharge the mouse every few weeks depending on how much I use it, plus the only battery I get is a red pulsing light when the mouse is about to run out of battery power.

I still find Safari 4 a bit buggy and slow on Windows systems, compared to running fine in Mac OS X. That's why I still use Mozilla Firefox 3 as my main browser for all my feed reading and general, while I use Google Chrome for quick browsing e.g. when I want to search for something without having to load Mozilla Firefox with lots of extensions.Basically, I am keeping Safari 4 and Internet Explorer 8 for testing purposes when I am doing web design and development.

The ComputingHosting billing system will automatically bill you every month while your hosting plan is still active. As long as you earn enough myCENTs and they are coverted to dollars in the billing system balance, it should be automatic.By the way, I wonder why they are not removing this old forum, since the only thing it does now is confuse new members about procedures in getting a new hosting plan.

It has a better processor unit and new functions like the compass etc. Apparently, it has a significant speed boost over the last generation iPhone 3G, so it probably is a worthwhile upgrade. However, Apple seems to be bringing out a new iPhone generation each year, which makes your phone sort of obselete after 1 year (although the iPhone OS can be upgraded on previous generation models).

You could implement a CAPTCHA verification image in the comment form if you want to prevent those who spam using bots to fill in the fields and submit the spam comment. However, if it human spam, you might want to try blocking certain IP addresses from posting comments.The best way is to activate the Wordpress plugin Akismet which would screen out spam comments that have already been submitted to their spam database.

The only places that still uses frames these days are:a) really old sites created in the days before CSS was available or widely used; Google cached pages, showing cache pages beneath the Google header;c) Google Translate, showing the translated page beneath the translation options and Google header;d) tutorial search engine sites, when linking to external tutorials on third-party servers.Although I understand why you would want to 'break' your site out of frames on other sites, most of these sites already have an option to remove or close the frame.

Personally, I would prefer an Appe iPod with a screen, even small would be fine. Although it is highly minimalistic and small device, I would happy for one slightly bigger as long it fits in my pocket and one with a screen, since removing the screen means functions like seeing the song that is playing, browsing through playlists and albums, games, clock functions etc.. My personal preference is for a feature-rich device rather than one with minimal functions since I am sort-of a power user rather than one that simply listens to music.

Whenever I purchase new PCs, I always get custom-built computers from my local system builder rather than purchasing standard retail OEM computers. The motherboard drivers and other hardware driver CDs are always included, so I don't have a problem with finding drivers (though for reinstalls I like finding the newest drivers available as they work the best and have bugs fixed in them).On the topic, I wouldn't really care if Microsoft Internet Explorer was preinstalled or not. Although I may need it for testing in web designing and development, I would install Mozilla Firefox as soon as the operating system was installed. I think the reason why the European Union forced Microsoft to remove it was because with it preinstalled, people wanting a simply web browser would just stick to using Internet Explorer, with the other browser vendors like Mozilla highlighting how it is 'anti-competitive'.

I switched to using Google Apps mail function after the hosting change at Xisto, since they now charge for hosted mail services, whereas it is free to use Google Apps with your domain. One of the best features now is the ability to use Labs stuff in Google Apps, which is quite convenient for me since I regularly use mouse gestures in Gmail to flip through the emails quickly without have to find the inbox, next and previous buttons.

I think I will still use Google search, since the new Bing! is not much different from Live Search from before. Plus, Google has more complete indexes which tend to more accurate in finding what you want. I suppose also Google search is much more simplistic and straightforward in terms of searching. In addition, it also had functions like finding definitions using the 'define:' keyword.

The .mdi file is a Microsoft Office Documet Imaging file, so I think when you print it is getting sent to be saved as a file instead of being sent to your printer. In similiar ways, the Adobe PDF printer converts documents sent to it into a PDF file.
