Cool - it's coming along great and starting to fan out evenly among the choices. No clear winners yet. B)Come on guys - we need more feedback

Great ppl finally taking interest in this thread Aishwarya - this means Prosperous - or rather One with prosperity. Seems like No. 7 is winning outright so far

Ahaaa No. 7 again eh ?? I see that substantial view of the cleavage is giving her quite the upper edge j/k - but hell yeah, she's one of those dusky beauties And ME ?? COMMITTED ?? Since when ??? I wish thought.. just that couldn't find any girls so far - who're true in the heart and would love me for what I am.. Actually, I'd crossed roads with two such girls, but errm.. what can I say, I've been rather mindnumbingly stupid about it and DID NOTHING... so I'd to just sit back and watch them walk away.. only to remain as "good friends" What a loss Anyway - we're not here to discuss my love life that can occupy significant portions of some other thread.. been thinking of starting one for a long time - about my adventures But more on that later. BTW - I'm committed in a certain sense.. all my friends say that I got a wife and I'm so dedicated to her that I hardly part company - and leave her at home alone.. Guess WHO ? My computer Come on guys - where are you all ? Exercise you brain muscle a bit on this (and your hearts if applicable) and gimme some feedback on who you like the best

Cool man - thanks for getting the topic rolling. Oh yeah - I totally agree with you on what you said. Also another point I'd like you guys to judge is, which name did you like the best from the ring of it. All Indian names have deep meanings associated with them. Gimme your most fav. sounding names and I'll explain the meaning of each. I'll agree with jeigh on No. 7 and No. 10.. But my personal favourite would be - PARINEETA CHAUDHARY (No. 20) - she might not be the prettiest of all - but there's that something in her. And look at her eyes man - seems to pierce you to your core. Here are the meanings of the names picked so far: Garima - Importance Jyotika - Light Flame. Jyoti means light.. hence. Parineeta - This is a little tricky - the name actually implies a married woman, but NOT in the literal sense. To be "parinata" - would mean to change or to be complete. Now in our ideology a woman becomes complete only after she's married.. So Parineeta carries that connotation of a woman who's married. P.S. Usually all Female names in India end with either a "aa" or "ee" pronouncitation - as you can see here. Waiting up for the others to post back.

There you are - someone finally speaking up my language Thanks HellFire.. anyone else care for a comment ?

Hey guys, Since we've got such a terrific multi-cultural, multi-racial environment here - I thought, hey why not take a look at the Indian beauties through the world's eyes I mean, duh of course - we do find our girl absolutely ravishing - but what does our board say about them? I came across this site from an ad banner. The Miss India contest is on and here are short intros of each contestant. Why don't you guys take a look too and post back whom do you find the prettiest, the hottest .. any compliments you might care to dish out. Here's the site... http://bmmi.indiatimes.com/newindex.htm Vote them here Poll For The Miss India Contest Who's your favourite ?? Regards, m^e

Haven't seen it - but this reminds me of a certain thing. Remember the movie Independence Day? Remember - how the virus was UPLOADED to the alien ship and that too the upload progress showed a graphical progress bar ? ROFL. That was too hilarious.

Dude - but that's the point in question. Whether any good forum software has a WAP enabled version or not. WAP versions of almost all web-appz have all the graphics totally cut-off. For example take https://runbox.com/ - I've used this email service provider for a long time. They've got their WAP enabled version too at https://runbox.com/ - entirely devoid of any graphics whatsoever. Just whatever you need most - the content of your emails. That's what WAP is primarily geared for - to provide you with the most required content while taking the most minimalistic approach that'll consume the least resources for your accessing device as well as the server. Just take a look at those two sites - and you'll understand. I needn't say more.

According to a recent news report on Yahoo news, a mysterious computer glitch (cause unknown) has caused a house in Indiana to be valued at $400 million. The actual price of the house is $121,900. As a result of this glitch - the house which usually carried a property tax of $1,500 has been billed a humongous tax of $8 million. But that's not the end of the story. Somehow these figures propagated to the tax returns filed by the state - giving rise to a demand of $3.1 million of tax money to be deposited in the state treasury.

I can't remember where I read before - but in one the Spy-devices site, I'd found a device that costs about $99 and looks like the cylindrical Magnetic Shield clasp that you often find right behind a monitor connector cable (VGA Card end). This device nicely fits over your keyboard cable and is almost entirely unnoticable. This beast of a device has the capability of recording about 100 million keystrokes. All you need to do it get to the target's computer and casually slip this over his keyboard cable and it'll start recording. The electromnagnetic field generated from the keyboard cable is enough to drive this device. It doesn't need any power source of its own. It even comes with its own software - which you can use on your own computer to download the keystrokes and study them. Along with this device, I'd read about another one too - which does exactly the same - but remotely. It detects the electromagnetic pulses that your keyboard emits over a range of 2-3 metres and translates them into recorded keystrokes. Not just that, you can use the same to tap someone's ATM PIN Code - standing right behind that person in a queue. Knowing these, the sound detection method doesn't come as much of a surprise. I mean these sort of devices are the real SILENT KILLERS Scary but cool to the core.

Oh yeah I read that already - from a news flash in Google Desktop itself - talk about IRONY :)But that thing happens ONLY if you enable the Search Across Computers feature. Otherwise you're completely safe.

Cool I placed an order again - I still got a bunch from my old lot left. Couldn't find people enough to distribute. Lets see what they're upto this time. Qwiji: I found the topic but its very difficult to merge them without the proper controls.. Dunno how to.. anyway, here it goes: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/82050-topic/?findpost=1064290105 https://5'>https://5 https://5'>https://5'>http://forums.xisto.com/topic/82050-topic/?findpost https://t= BTW, you've to use the Advanced Search option - I searched for the word Ubuntu ONLY in the topic title and NOT message body.. hence I got only about 6-7 hits.

No no it's not a sneak preview - they're installing it bit by bit into all accounts. Did you notice this little announcement on the mail Gmail login page yet ??

For those who don't have Google Desktop of haven't tried it out - ITS A MUST. I've posted screen-shots and the download link in the 7th post in this thread: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/88733-topic/?findpost=

Not really - you're missing the whole point here. This system DOES NOT REQUIRE you to refresh the page AT ALL. You'd be extremely surprised to know that it acts at the SAME SPEED AS ANY OTHER IM. The messages come up automatically just like any desktop IM without refreshing. Not only that, you can even see when the other person is TYPING A MESSAGE or PRESSED ENTER. The tranmission speed is like maybe half-a-second slower than a standard IM. What are you saying ?? Of course there's an option to ADD/INVITE A FRIEND/CONTACT. Read my review above - I've even provided screenshots of the feature. Once you can see your contact online, clicking on the nick will immediately bring up the chat console. And yea - the chat feature is being implemented in limited numbers everyday. It has turned up on two of my secondary accounts - but NOT on my main account. That's what I'm waiting for.

Umm i dunno about the \t tab, and I know whitespace " " will be ignored. Your quick and dirty solution would be to use the character which represents a single space. So in effect, putting four or eight of in a row would give you your typical tab. Example: alert(" CENTER! ");

See as far as I know - leaving apart the web-interface - email services actually take up very little bandwidth and server resources. The POP3/IMAP/SMTP protocols are extremely lightweight, and believe it or not, you can run a decently powerful email server (both incoming and outgoing) on a measly old Celeron 500 with 256MB RAM using Linux. The only powerful server(s) you'd need is the Web-server - which instead of a single server has to be a load-balanced cluster of http servers to cater to such a huge clientbase. As for storage space, all of them operate on the shared quota principle. If they were to allow reserved disk quota for all the clients they wudnt find enough HDDs in this world (lol) j/k - but seriously - all of them operate on the idea that some clients will utilize their space to the fullest and some will keep their mailbox completely clean. This averages out the space requirements and IT WORKS FINE (even if in the name of God). Also, they don't use one or two hard drives attached to a single server. They've got these massive Hard Drive Hot-Pluggable Arrays - about the size of a largish refridgerator. You can simply bring in new hard drives and push them into slots into this device and your capacity increases by leaps and bounds. Typically these Disk Arrays have capacities like 100+ Terrabytes. The only thing I'm unsure of is Bandwidth. That's something they must have in bulk to serve the web-pages to SO MANY surfers every day.. I really don't know how this figure sorts out.

Ya - the URL that you provide initially for signup is for them to check whether they're giving an account out to a completely lame site. Otherwsie, you account is independent of URLs. You simply get a specific Adsense ID to which all the clicks are credited. Infact once you have the account, you can put your ads on 'n' different sites - and from inside your account, you can set-up these things called CHANNELS - each channel representing one of your sites (URL). Then you can easily monitor, how many clicks/impressions/$$$ each site has fetched you. It's a real cool feature.

Sorry this one is totally elluding me - i mean i didn't even get the context. Where is it from ??

I have a tattoo on my right arm - a very intricately done Phoenix - but I dunno it that'll qualify for this post

WOWW - what can I say, I'm breathless. Terrific compositions as well as framing.. and such perfect exposures - man you've caught every little details in every picture.. Hats off to you. What was the camera dude ?? Temme temme.. film or digital ?I like the 3rd and the 4th the best. The 3rd one - such depth !! Besides the tonality portrays such a dramatic mood. Good one man. :PDude, infact the third one is perfect for a Magazine man. Or a photography book. It's your best among the whole lot believe me - and I've spent years studying the nuances of photography. It could very well be featured in a photography book. Also, the stone trail all the way upto the sea adds a totally different perspective to this pic.

You missed out on Google Desktop - because of which I can now always Keep track of Latest News and Current Affairs Keep a watch on the weather Keep a tab on my Adsense earnings Make quick notes Maintain a handy To-Do list Get my daily horoscope Quick shutdown/reboot/hibernate All from this handy little lightweight unobtrusive sliding bar on the right of my desktop. It's so fast and so bloody powerpacked - specially once you start mixing and matching the various plugins. Here's a screen-shot: You can download it at: http://desktop.google.com/ Try it out and the plugins too - it's an AWESOME tool.

WOWW - Google is FAST. Guys - IT'S ALIVE - it's already been implemented.. I just logged into one of my accounts and found the messenger right below the Folders list. Here's a screenshot: Looks terrific - am just waiting excitedly for someone to log on and test it's features Looks like an exact replica of GTalk. You can pop the chat dialog out as a separate window or simply keep it floating inside your Gmail page. Awesome. Here are the pop-in and pop-out mode screen-shots Pop-in Pop-out And I found some more cool features... as shown in the following snapshot 1. Say you aren't observing the IM window - only checking your Gmail - the contacts name in your list becomes dull amber and flashes indicating new message.. 2. Also hovering your mouse above ANY EMAIL address in your messagelist, pop's out a new window prompting you to Invite to Chat or Mail. 3. Also another feature I missed out - that Hraefn pointed out - is a little link called Off-the-record right below your IM window. If you click on that, starting from next line you type, till you turn it off, NONE of your CHAT MESSAGES are LOGGED. Here's what they say about Off-the-record 4. Also they're got their own cute little B & W simleys The smileys appear as normal text at first and then through AJAX, they become graphical smileys - at first sideways, and then with a minor smooth animation they turn and become straight - which I find real cool. The animation can be re-enacted if you hover your mouse over the smileys. 5. It saves your chat-log in realtime. So anytime just pop into your Chat folder in Gmail - and you'll find the updated conversation log there. That was my initial findings posted at Xisto: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/88733-web-based-gtalk-messenger-finally-arrives-wow-that-was-fast/ ================================================================================ The following review was published by Hraefn at Xisto along with mine. No easily visible warning of new messages when using pop-out mode. Currently, the only way to be notified of new messages is when you see your contact's name flash in your Gmail screen. However, that's not really effective when you're using pop-out mode because your main browser window is usually looking at other pages instead of the Gmail screen. No text formatting. This could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on whether you like text formatting. Myself, I like it the way it is, but there are times I wish I could use simple formats like bold or italics just for emphasis. No nickname feature available. As it is now, it's your Gmail account name that's displayed on the screen. Those are the only downsides that I can think of for now, and they're relatively minor ones. Despite it all, Gmail Chat still looks to be the best upcoming IM client. It's certainly one I plan to use in the future, especially once my main Gmail account gets it. Oh, and I almost forgot. For those of you who don't want to use the Gmail Chat feature, you have an option to turn it off. Just go to the bottom of your Gmail page and select to view the page as 'Standard without chat', like in the screenshot below. -P.S.- I just love how efficient Google is about this. They even have a troubleshooting knowledgebase for the new Gmail Chat even though it's been live for only a few hours.
