When Will The World Get Bored With World Of Warcraft?
mahesh2k replied to The Simpleton1405241582's topic in Computer Gaming
I don't know about others but 'm bored with it. Unless they come up with single person plot and other interesting characters and levels. I don't think i'll waste my time on this game. Though if you've 3-4 friends and have free time then WOW is good game to spend some time. Mostly kids prefer it because of this multiplayer fun and timepass as well. -
Is Wikipedia A Reliable Source Of Knowledge
mahesh2k replied to Ahsaniqbalkmc's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Now that we're talking about public encyclopedia's like wikipedia. People need to understand following encylcopedias are not at all credible. - Uncyclopedia - ConservepediaUncyclopedia is loaded with humour and satire, sarcasm content. So don't take things as they're it's just for fun from those who are bored and want to have fun with information. Conservepedia is run by creationist and if you check their references at the end of articles they're self serving. It means that these articles are referenced by relative creationism content. Make sure you never fall for information from conservepedia as it's not peer reviewed and even peer accepted. Comparing these two encyclopedia's wikipedia seems to be more credible atleast. Especially when we compare conservepedia and wikipedia, wikipedia is more credible with references and if there is any clash of manipulated information then it is discussed over talk and village pump. But in case of conservepedia their mission and content don't bother digging deep about their claims and content. -

mahesh2k replied to Ahsaniqbalkmc's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Lol, yeah we diverted a little but i still think it's related to topic. I mean wikipedia village pump and talk sections are loaded with religious objections and content. So wikipedia and political and religious debates are quite common. I don't know if it totally diverts the thread but hey we'll try to stick with wikipedia and these issues. -

If islamic people are this much conservative and extremist about their faith and views then surely they're threat to open mind and freedom of speech, expression. And i feel that art is freedom of expression in it's own way. Though i've my experience with extreme action from islamic people i can say that this issue from islamics is overrated. I mean does anything happen from god just because someone drawn prophet in right or wrong way. I mean people are too much sensitive. I don't how such people can care about freedom of speech and expression. I think there is no freedom to begin with if people are trying to take objection to little things like that. It's just opinion maybe few people in islam agrees with me if not all (which i'm sure all will never agree on point of freedom). Wikipedia is open resource and they did their best to keep or give knowledge to people, if islamics think that there side of religion is not supposed to be shared or discussed then they should make it clear to the world that they want solitude life. I'm sure no one will waste their time documenting islam in good or bad way and any part of it if people are such extremist. -
Is Learning Html Necessary For Webmasters ?
mahesh2k replied to Ahsaniqbalkmc's topic in Programming
Well before moving to languages like php and asp i think it's better to understand what HTML is. You'll learn hidden form fields and URL rewriting and many other concepts in other languages where references to HTML pops up. Other than that one thing we all need to understand that whatever you do and work with other languages it ends up rendering into HTML for browser. So that way it is atleast necessary for web developers to know about HTML and CSS. You may argue on this point but to be blunt HTML learning takes 1 hours maximum and you'll never forget what you've read from the book. If you can bang complex languages like php, c++ then i think learning HTML shouldn't take more than 1 hour-2 hours. It's fun to know such simple language. -

Looking at the way, religious & political people edit and manipulate things i think wikipedia is no longer a reliable resource. Not just religion but it applies to many other topics. there are many pages on people too early even though they don't have milestones. People need to use it as pointer and for better solid references they need to look for something else. I have seen many articles manipulated at wikipedia and because of which i think it's better to keep wikipedia as salt+imperfect knowledge resource. There are some references for some articles that proves most of the articles are reliable but then again this doesn't apply to everything. Though there are moderator and libel control inside wikipedia but to some extent information is manipulated and is not what people expect, this is because if one starts to write about something cotroversial on which talk page goes long and long and the discussion ends without resolution and in such cases articles goes live without agreement ir even proper citation in many cases. There are many reasons to this but i think overall, it's worth a read if people are not aware of some terms and want to contribute about something on village pump. -
The Most Costly Keywords Of Google Adsense
mahesh2k replied to Ahsaniqbalkmc's topic in Online Advertising
We the surfers decide the value of keywords in adwords. When you type the keyword and hit search it returns you the keywords for which the sites comes. In the right sidebar and at the top the paying keyword based sites are bidding for the keyword results. So it is totally depends on the demand of the keyword. Financial and gambling, casino or other money related and medical related keywords costs high. Technology keywords though in a lot of demand are usually less bidded for. This is because it is saturated. it's hard to earn 10$ onwards for technology related text link ads. if you get more than 10 bucks on that consider yourself lucky that you got good keyword. You're right people can use this keyword and make service. In fact many people do that. Go to sites like seochat and warriorforum. You'll find that there are some sites which make use of these keywords and are earning a lot. Not all can make it to this type of thing as many people can't write article or content based on these keywords and because of which they can't earn much on google adsense. I'm trying to write articles on 5$-10$ keywords articles which are in technology niche.It's hard to get clicks from this niche as most of people don't click on ads. Technology and many money niche is saturated and now look at these high keyword niches but they're less saturated because people demand quality information in these keywords. It's hard to get quality information or even to get content n these keywods and that makes it hard for us to use these keywords. I know that there are some products that makes use of database of google adwords to extract the values and amounts from the system which google made it available for free. -
Best Online Payment? Vote which is the best online payment.
mahesh2k replied to Бојан's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Recently there was big issue with paypal and indian banks. Paypal stopped all the payment that were to and from india. Because of this it affected many outsourcing works and freelance payments. The real issue was between paypal and indian bank regualtory control. Once that issue solved another issue was started that was about many indian people making gift and donation to skip the money. Because of this paypal stopped personal payments and donation option for indians.I know this sounds really bad but many people are moving away from paypal. Your best option for safe payment isn't paypal anymore. You should get prepaid credit card and from there you can get google checkout or similar service. I think alertpay is available in most of the countries so you can sign up to that instead of paypal. If not alertpay, you can sign up for moneybookers which is accepted in many of the hosting services and online shops. I don't know if it's better to connect paypal or moneybooker with your bank but i think it's better to get cheques instead of connecting it with bank. The reason is in any case you'll lose few bucks during bank transactions which is sad thing that can happen cause for some countries these fees could cost 3-5 $ which is large sum depending on the money they earned from cheque. -
Windows Live Search The future of MSN Search
mahesh2k replied to FirefoxRocks's topic in Search Engines
I never enjoyed the search history part of the most of the search engines. It is horrible for the shared netcafes. Many netcafes remember the logins and the search history as per their browser settings. I don't know how and why but that way search history is seriously downside for those who search by logging in to their account. I prefer not to search using my google or live account. I found that they may keep track of our searching keywords and can filter results based on our previous searches which is not always good. Also live search quality needs to be improved over google. because other than image search i didn't find it worthy in any other department of searches. -

mahesh2k replied to Бојан's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Well the reason i think they limited your account is you immediately withdrawn your money. Lol, sounds weird but it is. They earn a lot of commision on money which is pending there in account and earning us no profit. Now that many people withdraw money from it makes it hard for them to detect that why anyone withdrawn the money they earned so far. I don't know but this could be one weird logic behind their working. Anyway, life doesn't end here. You can sign up for alertpay and consider moving your business away from paypal. More you move better it is cause there is way you can win over this resolution as they have no time for settling all this. Even i want to withdraw my money and move myself away from paypal,let's see how it goes. I simply can't rely on this payment processor anymore. You can also use alternative like moneybookers, stormpay and google checkout for most of your transactions from now on. -
The Most Costly Keywords Of Google Adsense
mahesh2k replied to Ahsaniqbalkmc's topic in Online Advertising
Thanks, i work on some campaigns when some clients expect keywords for my online projects. So this is coming handy as of now. Thanks for posting these keywords. I also know of resource where you can get high cpc keywords which are priced at 30$. So if you know more such resources and keywords let me know. Though i can't use keywords in law and finance category. But if there is any other keyword than these categories then i would like to know how can i take benefit of them. Once again thanks for the thread. -
Honour Killing In India what kind of honour is it for the family
mahesh2k replied to chini13's topic in General Discussion
Yes. Be it any religion in india, there is one popular rule before they attempt to arrange marriage of girl. Rule is that girl must be virgin before marriage. No matter how educated and rational a boy is, not a single boy escaped so far in india to ovecome this rule. I don?t know why every virgin boy is desperate for virgin girl. Other than faithfulness i don?t see any benefit of this rule. One more rule is that Girl should be in lower profile than the boy. Also here people have some sort of family planning strategy that force them to choose girl who?s age is atleast 1-2 years lower than boy. This ensures that girl will give birth to boy. I know it sounds weird but villagers are forcing this rule on every new generation. One more rule among uneducated villages is that if girl failed to give birth to boy or give birth at all then family decides that boy should remarry to another woman by divrocing the previous one. There was one rule earlier among some villages in india that if any girl becomes widow then she either needs to sacrifice her life on funeral of that dead guy or she needs to live her life unmarried. Family of boy can demand dowry (money from the girls side). There are some villages where they do child marriages but because of law it is no longer practiced. There are many barbaric laws still practiced here in india but because of technological development and suppression of old religious tradition, there is some good progress and now women got more rights and can deny many old traditions. I wish some indians read this book ?the manipulated man by esthar vilar? to understand woman and rethink on suppressing them by following traditions. -

Paypal is very weird when it comes to online payment. You'll find that they'll limit your account and will nill your balance if they found that payment sent by you or sent to you has any issues as per them. Weird in many parts that they even randomly block accounts for things that they think are wrong but fail to give reasons. Many merchants got their account locked because of clients returning and asking for money back of the product. These things aside it can be a one good savior if you don't have adsense and other ad networks. You can sign up to squidoo for content hosting and earn from paypal. This way there are many options in many ways you'll find that paypal is savior for freelancers. Alertpay comes second to my list and if you're working with payment processors like liberty reserve, money bookers then getting money at alertpay and then retrieving it is best option. I didn't verified my account at alertpay as of yet but planning to do so in future. For online shopping i think paypal and google checkout are the only trusty options. Paypal isn't trusty in comparison to google checkout lol. If you want to sell your digital products then there are some sites like payloadz, e-junkie etc. Other than that i suggest using clickbank or other affiliate seller service or shopping cart services instead of paypal. Just noticed that moneybookers is accepted at ebay these days. So that payment processing site is gaining momentum. -
Well drupal and joomla have steep learning curve in comparison to wordpress and some custom solutions. I'm aware of some commercial applications where people are using it for group blogging, corporate blogging and newspaper site. There are some sites where wordpress is used. But i think wordpress will be enough for most of the newspaper cms out there. Though drupal and joomla have many features and multi-lingual capability, those features you can get from wordpress as well. I don't know if there is any feature that is missing in wordpress and is used heavily in drupal and joomla. I'm not sure why you said that wordpress has no capability of multi-lingual site, i see many blogs in multi-lingual way. There are some plugins and modules available out there that makes it easy to build wordpress based multilingual site. In fact customizing and extending wordpress is much easier in comparison to drupal and joomla so i think if anyone new to cms there should atleast give a shot to wordpress before learning unreasonably heavy cms like joomla, mambo and drupal.

If we have to compare between ultraedit and dreamwevaer for web developement IDE. then i'll go with ultraedit and the reason is that the support it is doing for many languages. Dreamweaver is less with support for many languages. But anyone who wants to do the development solely for flash, php, html and flex then in that case and only in that case it is worth to waste money on dreamweaver. Else i think notepadd++ which is free will do the job and if you want to spend few bucks then why not spend on ultraedit ? I don't mind spending on ultraedit by looking at the features and support that it offers. Just because notepad++ is free doesn't mean it'll get work done faster than ultraedit. In fact we have to compromise on many things with free things like notepad++. But one point where both these editors are better than dreamweaver that both of them supports large number of languages than dreamweaver.

Websites To Download Movies From
mahesh2k replied to Ahsaniqbalkmc's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I think these sites offer a way to grab videos from flash player in sites like tubemogul, vimeo and youtube. Because of this most of these tools are illegal anyway. Though can't be blame for that directly but it falls in gray area. -
Well if we have to look for more than one language then ultraedit is much better than dreamweaver. The reason is you can execute and view the results for most of the languages which are not supported by dreamweaver. For example, python and ruby on rails which are having frameworks for webdevelopment. I think that considered ultraedit and textmate are good text editor. They do things which are important while working with multiple web development languages. Atleast ultraedit is usable for multiple web development languages in comparison to dreamweaver.

Mycent - It's Still Inactive [resolved]
mahesh2k replied to BuffaloHelp's topic in Alerts, News & Announcements
Well that is one more view which i didn't think of(i'm referring to edit feature and logs that you pointed out). But if opaque is adding deduction for the mycents and if posts are edited and getting mycent deduction then why to add this feature(i.e ability for the mycent deduction by mods separately ?) ?There is already warning feature that deducts the mycents. Instead why not check the warning level of member and replies at the time when that members orders something using mycents ? Adding ability to deduct mycents just because moderator thinks so makes posting on Xisto like walking on thin ice. I mean whether edited or not you're(moderator) going to go through each and every reply and then deduct mycents based on your mood ? if not based on mood-say something else (take it as mood of every mod)then how can any member will take mod's decision for granted ? . For example, if mod think that x person posted a big reply for the sake of earning mycent and feels that he's not agree with his/her view then what ?(everyone here is posting for the sake of mycents that even includes mod-atleast few,if not BH) mod might deduct mycents which normal member can't view and if opaque think this type of modification of mycent is fair then posting on Xisto/ks will be less than what people are posting as of now. With all the rules and hidden check system it becomes trap of Xisto to be blunt. If anyone wishes to earn mycents then they've to be very calculative with their postings and words they use in posting if they wish to earn mycents. We're talking about community or something else ? They can't earn mycents just by being themselves in their posts cause any one-two sentence here and there could piss off moderator and can earn a negative mycent or deduction. Who knows ? Anyway,i know others will not agree with what i posted i just wanted to draw opaque's attention to this possibility. Feel free to rant on,i'm done anyway cause this feature is likely to be implemented so discussing about this in the days when mycents are off will not benefit me at all. -
If you've installed java runtime then you can find the java home path from following this steps.Right click my computer icon > properties>advanced>environment variables >edit path. This is where you'll find the path for java home or the place where runtime is installed. All you have to find is the runtime with bin folder path where java is installed. Other than that you can also find the path of the java runtime by invoking java applet that shows version history. You can find this applet from the control panel.

The thing that makes ipad expensive is it's lack of features. First and most important feature that anyone need is : multitasking. Without multitasking what's the use of paying for that touchscreen snook or kindle on steroid ? I mean seriously, is it even worth paying for ? Be it kindle, snook or ipad if they're priced above 150$ they are not even worth that. In short they're overpriced and over estimated by the marketing companies and people. If they add multi-tasking feature in it then that will make it much promising than what it is as of now.

Hmm, seen the update over there. Looks like it takes more time to update and do some things. And even worst mycent over there is broken or in upgrade whatever. Point is Xisto forums doesn't require upgrade as of now. Let it remain there for some time. Unless there is trully need for it. I see a lot of clutter on the Xisto forums because of this new upgrade. Especially with the updates of user status in right side bar which is not necessary and is not going to benefit in terms of SEO or traffic.Anyway, it's change with name and forum so there. I don't think the version is buggy cause many other forums are using it and everything is going fine. The problem is things are breaking because opaque is updating mycents and adding more ways to earn mycents with everything that is going arround the forum. This is complicated and introducing bugs. For example, reputation mycents is not with IPB so adding this feature will make forum look buggy. I hope things will improve there soon.

Anyone Still Using Lockerz?
mahesh2k replied to The Simpleton1405241582's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Well the issue with them is that they made the shop private and in order to get more email id's they're asking us to bring more referrals. This way it becomes tough. most of the forums banned lockerz thread. Even worst it's hard to convince that lockerz worked for many of us. This way it is getting hard to make more referrals for the system. Think about it how more hard we have to work for that now. Another thing is that now they made it tough such way that it takes 6 month or so for the good stuff to get from the shop and this eats more time. How you're going to earn more pointz if they're restricting you this much. Besides that how many are going to get their goodies in future if most of us are inactive on their system ? i didn't understood their revenue model either. This stuff is just way over my head when it comes to earning points and getting referrals. I doubt lockerz will stay here for longer. -
I wish revenue sharing mod remains with new system. Either kontera or some other advertiser will be fine. Especially Kontera is fine for active users cause i doubt there will be adsense sharing so.... Let's see what things will remain in new upgrades.

Mycent - It's Still Inactive [resolved]
mahesh2k replied to BuffaloHelp's topic in Alerts, News & Announcements
What about negative voting or rep from users or even mods ? Or you're keeping it as o or 1 or whatever by removing negative rep ? And i can't comment on member rating influence on mycent without seeing the implementation of this. So waiting for that. I don't know how it'll benefit forum SEO wise. Though google favors linking to establish site but there is no benefit in terms of PR. So there is going to be chasing from mods to every reply if this suggestion is applied ? I don't know what you're thinking right now. Isn't spam control and negative rep or warning from mods enough ? Or you want to limit activity of users by letting mod go on spree to chase for each and every reply and then if they like reply posted by users then they'll up or down vote it ? Though you've trust on mods but isn't this stretched too far for earning mycents. Anyway,it's your call. Few more suggestions: Blog -mod if installed will likely to attract spam sign ups. So make sure you allow blog feature after 100 posts or more for every user. 25 post limit: can you do something about this ? I mean can you raise it to some higher value for regular or active users ? -
Looks like you're not in mood of discussion i guess :/ That is why you consider this quoting as bashing. You're considering quoting separately everytime as offense, which is not. This is how online debates and discussion goes. Cheer up mate...
