  1. 1.3 GHz 768MB RAM 12" G4 PowerBook running OS X Panther...Dell ain't got nothing on me, and no PC ever will.
  2. Sucks for everyone who got stranded/laid off...pretty damn sudden too, if only they had admitted they were doing so badly. Either way, I'm all about WestJet.

    How can you only believe in Christmas? Beliefs are personal, but organized religion has structure...you can't just say "I believe in Christmas, but not the rest of the Christian faith." You're either in or you're out, not that either one is better.
  4. Gotta love TH games. My favouite is still the first. Best combo, warehouse level, through the "secret" room, 250000 points. Doesn't sound like a lot compared to today's games, but anyone who's played it knows it's harder than it sounds. Manuals my *bottom*...

    Different Gods for different people. Everyone needs something to believe in, even if that means believing in nothing. I think Ben Harper said it best:My choice is what I choose to doAnd if I?m causing no harmIt shouldn?t bother youYour choice is who you choose to beAnd if your causin? no harmThen you?re alright with me.Now, let's go burn one down.
  6. Just recently got hosted here. My site wasn't quite done, so I put up a "coming soon" page. Now I'm trying to upload my site, but it keeps coming to the coming soon page. I deleted the coming soon page (index.html) and replaced it with the new site (also index.html)...now, it just comes up with a 404 error! I'm just putting the files in the root dir, should I be doing something else?? Help! (site: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/)
  7. I live in Canada, I grew up in Calgary, but I just moved to Montreal. It's like a completely different country. That's the incredible part about North America: you can visit an entirely different region without leaving your country! Anyways, I've backpacked across Europe, and I'd love to go back and see more (Polish girls are easily the most beautiful in the world - seriously, stop laughing), but Asia and Latin America interest me as well. I think the next place I'd like to go is Australia; I met a ton of Aussies while in Europe and our countries have so much in common. They're like warm Canadians, minus hockey.

  9. That's a touchy subject. Unfortunately, the most practical solution would be to put the cats down. As for the pound, animal shelters are non-profit organizations, they can't spend money for ads on every pet. It's sad how many they have to put down, but there's just so many without a home. Listen to Bob Barker: have your animal spayed or neutered.
  10. MS got lazy when they overtook Netscape and had no real competition. For years, IE has changed so very little. Safari changed everything for Mac with tabbed browsing, a built-in pop-up blocker and search bar. Firefox brought those changes to PC, and it's about time. Wonder how long before we see Safari for PC?
  11. There's no camera that requires you to keep it on all the time, so unless you accidentally erased them, they must still be on there. Try connecting to the computer (either with the card itself or via a cable, depending on the camera) and see if you can track down the files.
  12. Why play videogames? Why do crossword puzzles? It's a fun way to push your mind. Besides, its harder than it looks.
  13. Oh those bygone days of teen angst victimization. How I miss them.
  14. For those interested, there's a book all about this stuff: "Googlewhack Adventures" by Dave Gorman.
  15. I've tried so many ways to submit my various sites to various engines. Google's crawler supposedly picks up on anything and everything with meta tags, but they should get a submit system just in case.
  16. Keep studying dude, and you might just get to college, instead of collage. just kidding, good poll idea.
  17. That's pretty good, but "Cog" still tops my list...for those who haven't seen it, check out the link below. And yes, it's all real, no CGI or fancy tricks here. Brilliant. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/
  18. Hmm....I always expected JD would be the first to leave for spiritual reasons Korn still has some gas left in them, so I would expect they would try and find a replacement rather than just disband. They can hardly keep going as they are right now.
  19. Give PSPad a try...http://www.pspad.com/

    Do You Think

    Right now Sony is obviously the leader of the industry, but there have been a lot of talks about a partnership between Apple and Nintendo, which could change everything. Regardless, Microsoft still has a lot of group to make up, and I doubt very much that Sony will rest on their past accomplishments...
  21. I agree, so long as the affiliates are quality sites not just crap-vertisers. The more people that come, the better Xisto gets for everybody.
  22. Notepad is tha bomb yo! I much prefer writing my pages from scratch on notepad to using a do-it-all GUI program. It takes longer, but I don't care. FYI: anyone who's looking for a Notepad-like text-editor for OS X would do well to check out Smultron.
  23. My laptop is a PowerBook G4 12". It's sleek, small, and silver, so I didn't want a bulky beige or black mouse riding shotgun. I found the perfect mouse: the PocketMouse made by Kensington. It's about half the size of a standard mouse, silver in colour, scroll wheel, optical, and cheap. I paid $20 CDN at a university computer store, but I'm sure the retail isn't much more. Might be tough to track down, try ordering online. Highly recommended.
  24. It's very good; I've played for 10 years, and also read a lot of basketball poetry, but that's definitely one of the better ones.
  25. I first got on the internet through my school, and being the curious sort, I started wondering how webpages worked. Once I found the "View Source" command on Netscape, HTML was part of my life. To get started I just used common sense (like the <img> tag was for an image, etc), then once I got the basics, I improved my skills by searching the internet for definitions and attribute help. Advanced tags, Javascript, XML...it all stems from HTML.
