Why Do User Interfaces Always Say "welcome!"?
mahesh2k replied to rob86's topic in Science and Technology
Well if we use "Hello world" then it will look weird for some people. Especially to non-programmers, they'll ask why hello world is used. For some people it is like puzzle. Using welcome is like same way for all of us. But there are some softwares and web apps which says "Hiya userxyz" or "Hello user1234". -

Winter in asia (especially India) is just fine. You get some Cold after 6PM to Morning 8-9am. In some places in india, there is complete whiteout upto 10am or more. In day time there is also heavy sunlight which is good i think. We don't have snow here but the level of cold we get at some places makes it hard to see the road sometimes. I like winter cause it is refreshing and most of the time i feel sleepy in this season which is rare in other seasons.

For blind man you can verify what he feels and perceives to some extent and nobody calls him crazy that way. And blind persons experience can be viewed from the scientific perspective. But here the case is different, any random personal experience can't be FACTS or true. Science works on the basis on falsification and verification. It is just don't throw mere statements based on some human written books to hold up arguments for the sake of countering without proof that we can see in threads like creationism here in this forum. If there are any so-called strong statements in favor of existence of ghost, better come up with scientific proof for it. Else better accept your own conclusion as right and be comfortable with it cause making mere statements that too without proof and for the sake of arguments won't hold of, not even by law.

Google Chrome Os First Impressions (etc.)
mahesh2k replied to nolan's topic in Science and Technology
I don't mind trying the VMware or VirtualBox image of ChromeOS. I'm not sure where it is available. I guess VM based testing is much better as there is no offline usage of this OS is tested. So VM is safe. I wonder which brand is going to buy this OS to ship with their desktop or laptop. Netbooks perhaps but still Only-internet based apps makes me not to use it at first place. -
I cleared my view and to avoid those personal experience debates so i have to resort on comfort level. Cause if some people can feel ghosts, others will feel existence of pink invisible unicorn. Who wants to disprove such personal experience and with what argument ?.Tomorrow if someone in this forum stands up and says that he/she feels spirit of his/her mother or relative in particular room then explaining such person will not be so easy. If discussion is stretched then It will be close to ad-hominem from either side, so i think let such people live with what they feel about it. Scientifically there is no empirical evidence for pink unicorn,ghosts and gods. So such debates end up with either just counter questioning for the sake of it like we are seeing in another creationism thread or it ends up with ad-hominem. In any case we are not getting the answers. So let those people believe who wants to and also to those who don't.

Google Chrome Os First Impressions (etc.)
mahesh2k replied to nolan's topic in Science and Technology
My question is does it play games ? Is it useful for offline usage ? Is it worth for apps other than internet apps ? If yes, then i'll test it out else there is no point in trying this OS anyway. Who wants to use browser and online apps only ? Not me, atleast. Such system maybe useful for cyber cafe people. -
First thing to learn on internet is : There is No such thing like unlimited bandwidth, Disk space and Email accounts and Email storage quota. There is limit to the server where your account is and files are stored. There is absolutely no site which offers such service. If they are claiming then they are overselling. Most of the sites who offer free email with 100-500 accounts are legitimate and selling practically. If you want to buy free 100-200 accounts then chances are there are some sites who do that. If anyone is claiming you for unlimited email id's let us know. I would like to know if they can allow 1GB or atleast 100MB storage for unlimited accounts. Better try hosted email solutions from Google hosted mail, MSN hosted mail.

Wow, i mean if i want some hollows from Bleach to exist then they will ? And it becomes fact when people term their personal experience as true. Since when FACT becomes subjective ? Anyway,i enjoyed reading this on topic of ghost hunting. Anyway, Believe what you want to, it's all about comfort at the end of the debate.

No reincarnation for me. And i have skimmed through many cases like this. And there are some claim like : 50,000+ women who have proof they were Cleopatra in a previous life". How ? Process of binary fission of Cleopatra's soul lead to 50000+ souls ? Err,NO.. So just imagine, That implies a reproduction rate of one new generation of Cleopatra souls (by asexual reproduction) every 130 years or so; you have to admit that this isn't an unreasonably high rate of soul-division. Now other than that i want to know about reincarnation of bacteria, amoeba and others. No offense to those who believe or want to proceed in this line, they can take this in way they want.

Making Money Online Is Easy By Build A Website
mahesh2k replied to Dehornos's topic in Business Forum
All i can say is avoid those squeeze pages and mentoring and some programs that teach you how to earn online. I have read a lot about it and hardly it works for some people. So better take some rational approach and do what is good and worth to earn online. So i suggest starting with forums like warriorforum.com site. You'll find some good advice in that site. I'm reading a lot from that site and seeing the reality that it is hard to earn money overnight. So if you want to earn from your blog or website put the best efforts you can into it. -
What Are Some Good, Popular Games Released In The Last Few Years?
mahesh2k replied to rob86's topic in Computer Gaming
Yes, prince of persia is addictive one. But i never played that game after sand title of it. Reason was graphics not supported for next versions. GTA was boring for me(sorry, -sky- but that's it for me). Didn't like much of the way it is going in series. Instead i have found myself in either action or FPS games like:- Devil may cry: i have enjoyed this game a lot. It requires good graphics card to play the game now. - Return to castle wolfesein is just another game that i like.- Black hawk down:Delta force's campaigns were interesting and i enjoyed them a lot. (esp: man down man down voice )There are more that i can remember,i'll post as i remember them. -
Nope. It happened many times and there was no point in complaining to higher authority cause it could backfire when it comes to lab exam and viva. That happened with some of the students in our class. So we simply stopped going against those instructors/professors. In our institution things were different. Teachers and other authorities never followed any rule instead they made some of their own and played with it. We did whatever best we can do for it but at the end such incidence are there. So all we did is to get out of that institution as early as possible with some good grades. Even university and NAAC/AICTE got the hint about such behavior and issues of college but as college was owned by politician so they unable to do anything against it. So what students will do against them ? Nothing.

Serious Sam :First encounter HD version is released this year. And there is going to be next release for the 2nd encounter. Expect it in march or April. Other than that i think 3rd installment from croteam will be in august or so. Not sure, perhaps when they are done with first series and then second then they will launch for the sure.So i'm waiting for that. Also there is already DVC4. Looking forward to Resident evil release. Any idea about Unreal Tournament ? -
No, you did right thing by raising this question. As later someone will going to raise this issue anyway. So as we already have thread on this we can redirect new discussion to here. So thanks to you we got different opinion on CC.My suggestion is still the same for your blog: If you are worried then it is better to use Copyscape widget or Module that don't let user copy your blog text. Why i'm suggesting this is that cause your blog is in self-help sub niche or pure (philosophy). Which may drop into rippers attention if you post any self-help topics. So instead of fearing about rippers it is better to use copy protection if you really get worried about it.

I enjoy Creative Speakers. Recently 5.1 improvements in some models is really worth to check out for. I'm not sure in how many countries Creative sell their speakers. In asia, creative brand is quite popular when it comes to speakers. Slightly expensive for some people here but there are some affordable models for creative.

I had one lab instructor who used to come late in lab and sometimes completely bunk the lab as well. It was different case here. As most of time students are the one who bunk the class. But here it was that instructor who used to bunk the class.

System is just started crediting you with Mycents.You can see in the profile box at the left next to your post. Once you reach 100mycents you'll get credited in Xisto - Support.com/billing account. Also you'll get one email about the credit you have got. Have fun posting here on Xisto.

Now i'm with anwii for this type of thinking of yours. Are you worried about your text from this site will be copied and people will make money from it ? This is just too much. I can understand about your own blog but are you worried about your text in another site(this forum) which is paying you in return ? Besides truefusion,rvalkass,haslip and anwii and many others have already written worthy content that can be easily copied and can be used to get some green bucks. I don't see them getting turned off this Creative commons. I just want to know at what post in this forum made you think that the content you put is of utmost value and shouldn't be copied ? In that case, why you posted that much valued post here ? Isn't something like that should be on your blog ? You know if you are starting to think this way,you'll hardly reap any benefit from internet. I failed to see how people will catch your blog and be long term reader. Don't worry about parasites. For 100 parasites that stick to your posts here or on your blog, you should concentrate on atleast 5 good reader which will bring long term benefit to your blog. For most of us, information on internet was more valuable than our posts, so more we can contribute lesser we feel like contributed. I'm less worried about my stuff from here getting copied and even if it does, i know what to do if that info is in anyway hurting me. If someone can do that in my case. I'll find it out and i'll screw that ripper my way. You're just worried about something which is not that of problem as far i can see. Look at the replies people posted here.

You should put it in quote if you have taken it from other sources. Moderators will do that anyway. So from next time if you are copy pasting something put it in quotes else you'll receive warning. And will lose mycents as well.

Cheated ? Hmm, we get such invoices 30 days earlier sometimes. So do we call it cheating ? Nope. That's way too rude to talk with support people. And that too when you have no idea about how system works. It's not mistake as it's reminder to customers to have mycent or real cash in their account at the time of automatic withdrawal. In order to avoid suspension, they send these reminder messages.

Reputation system ? For what ? Isn't this content system enough to earn mycent ? We had reputation system when we had credit system in 2005-2007 but now opaque dropped it and i'm glad he did that. Just imagine one or two posts which are in 1-liners from us and any noob will come up with reasoning of one liners and will dump us with negative rep. You wanna gonna go down with such thing ? And as i said earlier, digg is in no way justifies Xisto's current revenue model. It will hurt more than it will help. Dark themes are not at all professional. If you have ever read about usability and people with reading trouble then you'll come to know that black themes are not at all considered as professional. Show me any usability study where black themes are considered as professional. Let me tell you even current dark theme hurts eyes a lot for some people. Blue/white/green/light yellow themes make no issues to eyes.Text becomes easy to read for people. Only art/warez/gaming forums prefer dark themes and they are happy with what they do as majority of members like such themes. Here this is hosting forum, and people want to read things with ease and reply. What dark theme can do better here for people ?
