  1. Thanks for the bookmark-let. It is working for me. And agree with your opnion about defaming some websites. I find this behavior of comment a bit invitation to SPAMmers. I mean just look at it, some people can use it to spam as well. Though google will filter those comments and even block profiles which spam. But indeed it's going to invite few spammers. This is just another place for spammers to plant link bombs. Anyway, nice service from Google.
  2. He is asking you to PM cause he want to send lockerz invite if you want. He'll ask for your email address and will send it to you. There are plenty of lockerz threads on tp17. many people started lockerz thread and even gave invite to some members here.
  3. In india, you can burn as many disk as you want. Also due to population and the cops allotted in given region ratio is very unbalanced. Because of this hardly any case of catching people doing piracy. Also, police very rarely knows personally about people in particular region. For example, if anyone migrated from one state to another. But this is not the case in US/Europe/Canada. Sheriff and other cops knows about people in their town and people migrated to particular region allotted to them. So if by some chance they stop-by and visit particular person and check their home. Then chances are that they'll catch people who are burning dvd's. This is not the case in India, hardly any cop is technically competent enough to catch people doing this. Also even if they're competent or suspicious about some person they'll catch people with legal dvd's and cd's and will lock them out for no reason. Yeah, so play safe no matter in which place you're in the world.
  4. Haiku is based on BeOS. BeOS is another OS which was discontinued after year 2000. And haiku project was created as BeOS clone. And No, it is not Ubuntu or slackware. You can read more about Haiku OS here.
  5. Not that we can run vb programs on Linux. With Mono.net we can run visual basic.NET programs on Linux. If you write code using mono then you can run same program on windows, mac and Linux. Gambas is also basic interpreter which is like visual basic. It is actively developed and recent version of it is released in September 10. Lot of changes and fixes are in this release. You can successfully work with QT and GTK while using gambas. Though it is basic interpreter it is not like visual basic in all aspect. There are few changes in it and you'll find difference between vb.net and gambas. There is also a table which shows compatibility and issues status of gambas with most of the operating system.It is updated whenever gambass is released. There are list of books for gambas as well. Check them out. Book "A Beginner's Guide To Gambas by John W. Rittinghouse" is perfect if you want to learn from book. Also you can learn from wiki. List of applications developed using gambass are listed here. If you're interested in gambas then check out the official homepage.
  6. It's nice tool. Only thing i've found against it is that Sidewiki is shipped with google toolbar. And i'm against of using any toolbar on browser. Toolbars irritate big time. They hijack your browser and 404 pages. Also sometimes you're redirected to google results for their marketting purpose. You waste a lot of bandwidth when toolbar takes over your browser. It sends some data back to google server even if you don't want. In such situation if sidewiki is integrated with toolbar then it is more annoying than good feature. I would love to use it if it becomes separate download and not on toolbar. I liked their searchwiki feature to customize results. and i like the idea of sidewiki as well. It's just that toolbar download is annoying and i consider it as hands down. Anyway, there is good review of Sidewiki on Google System blog. Do check it out.
  7. And what made you think that wordpress is for static pages ? Wordpress is also same as drupal. It's just that some people are not comfortable to integrate forum with it. Though you can integrate SMF, PhpBB and IPB with wordpress. Officially there are MODS that integrate SMF/Phpbb to wordpress. I think you made wrong assumption that wordpress is not for community sites. In fact i can show you there are plenty of community websites which are running wordpress. Wordpress and CMS both are CMS so if you think Drupal is free from hassle of database and other stuff which you don't like in wordpress then you'll be surprised. You'll find drupal much hard in comparison to wordpress. Try comparing theme creation in wordpress and drupal, you'll get one more surprise on simplicity. Only advantage with drupal here is there are forum integration plugins are available for Drupal easily. Wordpress do have it's own forum software BBpress which you can integrate. Anyway, i just made few things clear to you. So that you don't choose drupal or any other software in some assumption. There should be clear observation, so i posted this.
  8. Let's turn back into history to see why there were multiple sites from xisto. Xisto - Web Hosting started as affordable hosting service. Their earlier plans were very affordable Plan A (50MB HD/1GBBW) costs 9.95$/year. PlanB and Plan C were of 19.95$ and 29.95 $ (if i'm not wrong with numbers). I'm customer of CH since that time. These were very affordable plans to start hosting with. Also Plans 3S, 9S were with huge disk space. That is 33GB BW and 1.5 GB BW roughly. Those were nice plans but they were not offered to free customers. Also CH was separately hosted from Xisto and Xisto. Xisto was started as freehost (if you've gone thorugh story of Xisto on forums). You'll come to know the old plans and credit system. Which i guess you're aware of. Still it was good alternative to paid hosting. Xisto was another fork. Started for serious computing discussion. and Xisto was more focused on general public. Now Xisto and Xisto both comes under Xisto - Support. Same is the case with Xisto - Web Hosting. Why multiple ? Simple. To give people option to earn mycent. Some people are comfortable with Xisto, while some are comfortable with Xisto. CH will also be there as front end for paid hosting as not all people can spend time earning mycent on forums. These people purchase VPS/Dedicated services directly. So based on such cases it is still beneficial to have multiple sites. I hope explained it in their perspective. If i'm wrong with any observation, consider it my opinion and not their.
  9. VLC is good but can't play all the formats. Also i've found it's hard to work with playlist. Just my observation of comfort with player. So i found out K-lite media codec pack. It comes with real player alternative and plays almost every famous file format. Some maybe missing due to copyright issues but as far as i've seen it covers most of the file formats. You can get K-lite media codec pack from here. I'm not sure if K-lite runs on linux without any issue. I've to check it by downloading. In between there are few sites that did reviewed K-lite codec pack for linux. You can check them from google.
  10. I think there is NO third option as you mentioned if you follow this. Xisto - Support/billing >Order > Shopping cart >Misc. In Misc page there is link to domain registration. In domain registration there are only two options like : # I want Xisto - Web Hosting (Xisto) to register a new domain for me. # I want to transfer my domain to Xisto - Web Hosting (Xisto) There is NO third option if you follow this way. I think you can follow the method as sky explained above. That is go from choosing plan then go to domain registration option.
  11. Forummotion is not for those who want to have commercial interest out of it. People on asta not just want to use web hosting but they want customization as well. If forum-motion allows customization then there was no need for people to grab paid hosting just to host their forum. Basically forum-motion offers phpbb2, phpbb3, IPB and PunBB. Though people do get attracted to their offer of IPB hosting for free. But infact it is not free and your forum content is on their servers. With free hosting you can't object if they lose your data. You can't claim your ownership of the content hosted on their server. So when to choose forum-motion ? You can use forum-motion before setting up your own forum with any paid webhosting company. With which you are going to work for long time as you've long term plans with your forum site. If you're choosing forumjump with long term plan and thinking about profit out of it. Then it is better not to sign up with them. Forumer is also famous for phpbb, IPB hosting for free, and it is alive for longer time. If you want to set up forum with no profit intention and can't afford paid hosting as well in that case you can choose forumer and forum-motion.
  12. Yeah, google apps for all domains were down yesterday. Even gmail was down for some people in asia. Last night we had trouble accessing gmail. Also when we finally got access to gmail we found red notice at the top like unable to import contact. This notice remained till 3:00 pm today. Now right now gmail looks like fixed one. I managed to access my Google apps account for all domains. I can understand the downtime trouble. It works much smoothly once in year downtime is acceptable.
  13. Did you noticed the spamming on Xisto ?. Some spammers are constantly spamming and their threads are not removed from there. This is really turning off sometimes. I don't know if such spamming continues then Xisto will be one dead forum. I don't know why threads like "mp3 to mkv converter, walkman etc" which are purely intended for spamming are still showing on top on asta ?. Such threads are almost in every category. You'll find it on How and tutorial section as well. Anyway, people here can't do anything about it. Maybe opaque needs to clean up those spam threads. Really Xisto forum is turning into spam heaven. If this continues like that then there is no point actively logging in there,for mycents only then go ahead. You can stick to Xisto. But if you wish to bring some life to Xisto then you can create some topic over there. There are few people who still participate on asta discussion. Someone will help you on Xisto.
  14. CPM advertisers have lot of restrictions. Some advertisers require you to have good design on your site. Some advertisers require you to have atleast 10,000 impressions. and this 10k impressions is minimum for most of the advertisers. Some CPM advertisers go above this and expect 50,000 and 1,00,000 impressions per day. Which makes us easily disqualify from their sign-up page. If restriction is not high like this then they atleast need 10k visitors per day or week. Monthly visitor count they expect in 1,00,000. Which is again not so easy task. For atleast newcomers to blogging and forums. And as some advertisers do not accept forums,personal blogs and file hosting and sharing sites. This is again big disadvantage. Still if you do qualify with visitors and impressions criteria then do check out these advertisers. 1) Adsdaq - No minimum requirement about impressions and visitors but they do verify site and then accept or process advertisers listing. 2) CPX Interactive - Minimum of 10,000 impressions. Accepts if this criteria meets. 3) Ad dynamix - No criteria. Nothing much on the restrictions as such. But they lack advertisers so still in it's alpha infancy. More CPM advertisers are : Blogheards, Axill . For more advertisers which you can try for your blog/forum/site. Check Direcmedia ad manager.
  15. Nice initiative anwii. I wish you all the best for this organization. I hope it will bring change to society. Some things i would like to suggest you is you've to look at many things. First thing is as this organization deals with relationships and support to victims, you need to have good lawyers with you to help organization on legal matters and frequent consulting. They'll even help for tax deduction support to your organization, and resolving other financial matters. Also make sure your organization gets its own website soon. This will help many people to connect. Also you'll meet plenty of people who will criticize and accuse organization in many way. Which is quite natural. And i guess you're well prepared to face such situations. Another thing is promotion. You need to promote it on web and offline so that people know where to go for help in such situation. There are many other things i would like to point as i've participated in local organization which was active for environment,culture, poverty support. For that we got help from Rotary club, greenpiece and some other local organization. Some people from other organization could help you with many pointers. It's just that you need to meet the right person who'll help you in this. I may not able to guideline you for organizational things cause we're in different continents. But all the best to your organization. Kudos !
  16. Good site. I would like to see if you guys cover game development info as well. There are lot of gaming sites already add some more taste to it, like blog or developer channel, Chat room etc. If possible. Other than that site design and forum looks cool.
  17. Try this. border: 1px solid #000;. You can set range of border 1-2px as per your need but more than 2 will be thick. also to make table thin you can use appropriate colors. Color like gray could give feel of thin border. try #666 value or search for CSS color chart on google for lighter colors to give it feel of thin border color.
  18. Longest city name if added to domain name then depending upon the TLD. Or regional domain name it will be the longest one. Like we've " Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" as longest city name. So try and add .com or .net or .mobi or 4 letter domain extension. In that way it'll grow more longer domain name. Regional domain name like .in, .uk, .de etc will make it shorter as it is just 2 letter. 3 or more letter extension will make it more hard to type. I'm curious now, is that long name city have official website ? I didn't googled or seen wikipedia for this. As searching for long city name itself brings many search results. On serious note, i'll try to find shorter domain. It is really pain to type big domain names on address bar. Just think we're already managing lot of information on web in mind. Larger domain names are seriously pain. Even if you can do cut and paste for it but still it is larger and turns off and forces anyone not to browse those sites with bigger domain name. I'll just prefer to bookmark such huge names on Delicious if they're worthy enough to visit regularly else i don't see point to maintain memory of those big names.
  19. <h1 class="title"></h1> Last update of BeOS 5 as per their website is December 2001. Since last 8 years it is not in active development. Also it doesn't run properly on modern machines. There are some patches available for it. But hardly it'll work with recent machines. Also running on virtual machine like vmware, virtualbox is also not possible. As most virtual machine software creators don't support BeOS anymore. So only alternative today is HaikuOS. Haiku OS is BeOS clone and developed actively. Haiku OS works with openBFS file-system which is database like and support metadata. Like BeOS, Haiku is also focused on personal computing than server usage. It is also simple to use and interface is inspired by BeOS. You can check the slideshow page to see, how haiku OS works. Check their blog for more information and to look at alpha development of current version. HaikuOS is also actively develpoed and maintained. It was part of Google's summer of code projects. And it shows active development of project. For more information you can check out HaikuOS project page.
  20. If any one of you are engaged into game development. Then you might be in search of game backgrounds, sounds, sprites on regular basis for your games. Then opengame art is the place for you. The content hosted on open game art comes up with various licenses. Like Creative commons, Zlib, BSD, GPL, LGPL,X11 etc. You can select files based on these licenses before you search for them. This way you can narrow your searches for files. What's more ? It has 2D,3D and Audio section for file separately and searching as per licenses is enabled. It also has article section. Tutorials are also posted on that site,they're less but more will be surely added. Site accepts openid login, so you can check the members area of the site instantly. You can check more info about them here.
  21. Can't We Live Without Money? No. And what is wrong in money ? How i can appreciate those who work hard for my pleasure ? take case of computer software, hosting, hardware. almost everything that gives pleasure to us costs something. Directly in money or indirectly. I remember Donald trumps line "There is no free lunch". Everybody around us do things for others with something in mind. If this something is "money" then nothing wrong in it. It is easy to feel against money though, but try living without money and look how people around will treat you. Try living like jobless/broke then see how people treat you. People love you based on how much you earn and what stature you've, what education you've. What you've done with education and money so far decided how they treat you. and this in turn reflects with money numbers in bank. Try and impress any girl without any money/home/career, see if she gets impressed with it. And now let's talk about evils of money. ;-) I don't intend to make debate on this, but this is what i have seen around me. One can only make difference in this world with these three things : Money, Education and Support of people.
  22. So far as per my observation, ESET NOD32 is one with less annoyance and good against viruses. Kaspersky and Bitdefender are good as well.Though i also keep "Spybot seach and destroy" and "Adaware" installed and run it frequently. Malwarebytes antimalware suite is also good to remove few malware off from computer. I find NIS(Norton) with poor performance on computers with less RAM. It eats lots of resource. and not effective against viruses and spywares.
  23. I was searching on google if there is any tool that can help us write code that can be used by java and c#. I found one article on this site which was redirecting to this project on codeplex. CSharpJavaMerger Framework is open source and free of cost software. What it does is it allows to write a common interface for both C# and Java, with which you can write code that could be used by both java and C# programs. I find this project interesting, as most of time i thought about writing a program which could use code from both java and C#. But was not aware of if this is possible or not. There are plenty of commercial frameworks that does simmilar job. But if you're on tight budget and can't afford. As most of the programmers can't afford huge license fees for independent work. CSharpJavaMerger Framework is good choice in such case. For more info check this site and check the official projct site here.
  24. If Xisto and Xisto account use same email-address, then yes. That mean you use common email ID to login to Xisto - Support then it is possible to post on both these forums and earn mycent. You can post on Xisto when Xisto have no active topics and replies. Also you can post on Xisto when Xisto is not active. Which i guess these days is very less active. Hardly 1-2 replies and threads there. Still some good topics and discussion are still there. Many users of Xisto are on Xisto as well. and they're earning mycents from Xisto as well. So your confusion regarding this is valid and you can see us most of us are doing the same which you want to do.
  25. If you turn-off Norton internet security, is Firefox working then ? If yes, then Norton internet security is blocking firefox from accessing internet. You've to configure Norton internet security, check these steps. Most likely your problem will be solved by following these steps. And if you're running NIS 15.5 then you've to "Run Liveupdate" which will download the patch. And patch as mentioned in their forum will solve the problem. Hope this solves your problem.
