Negative Perception Of Islam Is Increasing unfavorable view of Islam
Dragonfly replied to Kim's topic in General Discussion
The negative perception of Islam is increasing because of many reasons if there is such perception at all. 1. So many attacks here and there, from Bali to New York by Muslim terrorists who justified their stand by claiming to be doing what Allah wanted them to do. This is very bad. Allah would never command them to attack others in these manners.2. Religion seems to be the first priority in the life of many Muslims. And any other things come later. This kind of portrayal isn't benefitting any because whether you are muslim, christian, hindu, jews, etc one has to live with others. 3. When such attacks take place, when Al-qaeda and other terrorists attack take place we do not hear any high profile muslim clerics/priests coming out to denounce such attacks. In fact, some I heard glorify such actions. This gives a very bad impression to others.I do not blame media much for this situation. Media are rather trying to unify the people of the world by bringing the truth and terrorists should be termed terrorists only. This should be clear in the minds of Muslims and their priests alike, which they do, I believe. I have many muslim friends and they are all peace loving and good human beings like others. Those terrorists act should be condemned and be isolated, not to be branded as Muslims. -
The best place to ask such question would be google and when you find those sites, you can post here and ask the opinion of other members who might already have had experienced doing some business with them. I don't really go for these things. Why not implement contextual advertisements in your site rather than risking autosurf stuffs?

I was actually wondering how can a small shoutbox can actually take much bandwidth. I do have shoutbox in my site, and users who choose to participate in the shoutbox are more or less the same. My suggestion is : don't disable the auto-refresh, but you can increase the timer to more than one minute. Auto-refresh is such a cool function for shoutbox, because everyone don't feel like keep refreshing the shoutbox.

Both are nice and it is very difficult to make choice. If you force me to, I will choose one for a day and another for the following day, so it goes alternately. hehe. I think I would go for anime. I just like, there's no hard feeling against manga though. Both are great and can amuse us alot.

Where In The World Are You From? vote and post
Dragonfly replied to MaineFishing45's topic in General Discussion
INDIA is much bigger than many of those countries put together and its economic as well as military might is much stronger than many countries you have listed, I don't understand how on earth we could ignore this Asian giant country in the list!!! And many guys are online here from India. -
AVG is the best free Anti-Virus program, but free is free. I have that free one downloaded & it detected Viruses that Norton didn't, this happens sometimes ago when I installed both the anti-viruses in one system and I had asked the members opinion on this if this is a good move. Everyone disagreed though. They advised me to just use one anti-virus at a time.But its just uncomparable with the free tag it comes with! But somehow it couldn't detect some virus and my computer got infected with virus. I had to install the windows newly. But yes, it is still the best among FREE ones.

I usually go to bed before mid-night and wake up between 6:00am to 7:00 am almost everyday. It means I sleep for about 6 to 7 hours everyday. However, I'm trying to sleep earlier than these timings and am trying to get up earlier as well. It is very fresh to wake up early and exercise. If you have often woke up early you would probably know the freshness of the morning. Also, if one doesn't sleep enough then it can effect one's mood the whole day.

Is Homosexuality Right Or Wrong? your views
Dragonfly replied to wakelim's topic in General Discussion
This is a very tought question to respond to. Firstly, whether it is right or wrong doesn't depend on laws. Some countries may allow them to get married legally that doesn't mean that it is correct, it's just that they became legal partner, who are able to enjoy their lives as they wish. Since, I have not have any intimate friend or well known friend how is a gay I do not understand fully yet how to feel about them completely. So far, my feeling is mixed. Sometimes, I condemn them but sometimes I wonder if they are really made that way. Therefore, I would say this is very tough. In western countries I heard they are proud to show off themselves and they have no shame. But in oriental culture and Asian culture I think this isn't looked upon that way, it's a shame and taboo.However, if I interprete according to my faith, I consider it as a SIN. -
Vulnerability In Gmail Attention All GMail Users
Dragonfly replied to delivi's topic in The Internet
No, wonder the original post in the blogspot has so many comments(49). At one point of time most of the email services have had complaints from users, but the good thing about them is that they have always been able to fix the problems. Let's hope Google Gmail to come out with the same result. I have actually enjoyed much about this awesome service and approach to email by Google. -
I Just Started And I Already Have Suggestions
Dragonfly replied to Shengeta's topic in Web Hosting Support
That will be great. I have seen other members asking the same question as well. But transferring files and folders and also the databases isn't such a difficult task. If they have to do all those, it will be somewhat hard, or else charge some amount for it. Free of cost may be somewhat difficult. Yes, Yahoo's is cheap but it hardly makes no much difference in about a dollar or two. Having the same service from one will help reduce interaction time with the domain registrar and host. If you click Xisto - Web Hosting section of this forum, everyone is posting whatever related to Xisto - Web Hosting and admins and mods are kind enough to respond quickly. But most of the non-technical or pre-purchase issues also need one to register to make post and I think it will be good if it comes under Xisto - Web Hosting forum. Or otherwise, separate the Xisto - Web Hosting forum completely from Xisto forums. -
Will Google Display Ads Before You Fill Out The Tax Form?
Dragonfly replied to psychiccyberfreak's topic in Search Engines
Yes, what ebula said is correct. The google ads will still display. But since it takes time for google to recognize the keywords in your webpages it may take time to display the real ads and rather just display public service ads. Sometimes, the webmaster himself may never see the google ads in his website but others may be able to see the google ads. Google will still display ads without your tax form too. But they will hold your payments if you don't fill up till the time of payment. Because for Americans, those in United States of America they need to fill up those informations. Just try visiting from other computers which will not share the same IP you may well be able to see your ads in your site. However, never ever click those ads by your own less you will lose the adsense itself. Best of luck. -
Well said Guangdian, I totally agree with your running down on those spammers. One of my sites hasn't got spam-guard in the comment section and you know those medicine and pharma related links are filling up everyday. Atleast 10 to 20 comments with hundreds of links are posted each day and I'm so tired of deleting one by one. Finally, I had to close the comment. I thought they will not come back, man I opened after a month and it was filling up like sand by a seashore once again. I'm totally against them. I banned them but they have several IPs which they can change at will as much as I am willing to ban whichever amount of IPs they use. It seems they are using dynamic IPs... I'm so tired. They dodn't participate nor do any good to my site but try to make money out of my website... And another site which uses phpBB forum as main discussion board in the site. In the beginning I didn't enable VISUALIZATION CODE and in fact, I didn't know about that, so daily there were atleast 5 to 10 new registrations, I used to delete them from admin page, later on I got tired and search the support forum and found out the means to control. However, I'm still getting spammers who managed to register in the site, just to post up their website links in the membership list. Even though they need to activate their ID in the forum from their email inbox. I am totally against spammers and I will never indulge in such activities as well.... I'm basically tired on spammers....

Firstly, let's have fun. My name is very sexy according to this. lolz... I never belief horoscope nor this kind of prediction based on this and that, be it star, moon, earth or sky or palm. But I just have fun reading them and wonder the guy who composed these must have struggled hard to make one post different from the other. I appreciate his/her struggle in editing all the alphabets starting from A to Z. The one who composed this is not an ordinary man. Surely, he has something in him. lolz.

I like the idea of having Google payments competing with Paypal, I have heard many people complaining about Paypal. When one company has monopoly over specific business there are more problems that we could think of. Therefore, competitors coming into play in the same field is a good thing and a sign of positive development for end users so that users/customers are not taken for granted.

This sounds cool, but I really wonder if one can really rely on such free web based managers. These days most of the hosting sites are using Cpanel and Web Host Manager and these two are the best as far as my knowledge is concerned. There are too many things to do on the net and I really think it is a waste of time to build such. Unless we want to make business and become a rival to these already popular webhost managers.

Firstly, you can buy your own top level domain and thereafter you can go to Xisto - Web Hosting.com and buy your desired plan. Since they will be able to set your account in Xisto - Web Hosting only if you have a domain, you must first buy one. This is the first step you need to do. I hope Opaque will respond you. As far as I know Xisto and Xisto - Web Hosting are in different server, so moving there is another work. So, please wait him until he response. yes, this is the edge they have over other hosting sites. Because of their cheap pricing with all features intact many webmasters are now moving to Xisto - Web Hosting. I do have an account there. Definitely, buy your own domain and point the nameserver to ns1.computinghost.com and ns2.computinghost.com too. If your site is a database driven site files and folders and also the database must be moved to the new host. I hope Opaque will be able to tell you what must be done. I hope this helps you too.

IC, if this is the case, isn't this just renaming of the brands from IBM Thinkpad to Lenovo Thinkpad or whatever names they want to modify? In reality will there be so much changes? The first post link is not found anymore. I couldn't read if the new laptops are any different from the previous IBM thinkpads.

Very useful. I am getting fed up with my system taking time to load all the programmes and the same goes with shutting down. As I installed my programmes the speed of both the cases slow-down further. I know something like this is there but didn't really know how to apply them. The guide is excellent. Bookmarked this page for reference whenever needed. Thanks.

Google video seems very good but it says that this feature is not available in your country for now. I think it is available in some countries only. I hope it will be available soon in our country as well. United States and some countries in western Europe seem to have this privilege for now.

Google adsense and Yahoo ads are the best. You'd better to get them in your parents name also that will be better. And you can re-apply in the later years with your own name. Because no other percost-per-click advertising programs will match either of these two. That's my advice for you. I couldn't think of any other ads as well.

Sorry aboodx, you could have quoted the source of this interesting news. In that case since you don't follow the rule of the forum I'm afraid you may lose some credits on the way.I thought 'Intel Inside' was one of the best slogans around. However, 15 years is alot in terms of years but i don't think this kind of good slogan can lose its charm even at 15 years of age. 'Leap forward' sounds like one proverb that says, 'Look before your leap'. Can they not come up with a better slogan. Leap forward sounds pretty ordinary comparing to the first one 'Intel Inside'. In fact, it gives a kind of impression to end users that if Intel isn't inside it doesn't look complete.

It can be true, many men not only look at the pictures in those women magazines but they also read carefully. There could be many reasons behind this. Let me just list them down point by point:1. Men are curious to know everything about women, from their dress, to their liking, the latest trend, and so on.2. Many women magazine includes women's health and men are interested to read them because they understand them better that way.3. Usually women magazines contain many good pictures of famous models or actresses which they also want to have a look at.

Google To Take On Geocities Google Page Creator
Dragonfly replied to dontmaimyourself's topic in Search Engines
This is pretty interesting. I'm sure it will be closely similar to something like blogger.com which gives username.blogspot.com as the url. The good thing about google is that those ads in the blogs are owned by the bloggers, and still they are making money using those. I'm sure that even pages will bear the same results and also further popularizing and continuing their dominance on the web. In fact, freeserver pages and geocities are nothing but garbages these days. The only problem for now is that googlepages is still in beta version. And everyone cannot get the pages yet. I hope it will be available soon. -
Do You Prefer Light Or Dark Layout?
Dragonfly replied to alexia's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I always prefer clean-light layout. If possible my site should become very light like Yahoo and Google, never like msn or Eonline and others. I prefer light color layout, especially white background. When I observe most of the popular websites have clean-cut light background, I also think this popularity might be due to the preference of the majority of the net users around the globe. And white background with black fonts are the easiest to read and most comfortable with eyes as well. -
Switch To Astahost A very organized forum
Dragonfly replied to michaelper22's topic in Web Hosting Support
I am here exactly 1 year and 2 days today. And my experience here has been awesome. Right from the beginning I made a choice to stay here not because I don't like Xisto but because I feel that I can make more quality post here not sacrificing the length which may not be possible in case of Xisto since most of the posts are technical in nature. That also doesn't mean that I'm not technical enough but because I care to survive here and to uphold enough credits while continuing to enjoy this awesome hosting.Therefore, since the choice I made was perfect for me, I intend to stay here and continue to make post which makes sense and earns me more credits from time to time. To cut short the explanation, Xisto.com suits me more than Xisto would. So, I will stay here. I hope members will make such decision so that their credits don't run out because of bad choice.
