A week ago, I finally got a kindle 3rd generation model (this is the one with wifi & keyboard). And let us establish one thing very clearly, I am completely in love with my kindle. I love reading and make it a habit to always spend my time reading something or the other; at times it is required for me to research plenty on a topic. Since books are either bulky, expensive or delicate, it was getting difficult for me to read an entire book in one continuous session. Instead I was forced to carry one book while traveling and read another while at home. Having a kindle was the ultimate solution to everything I needed especially since I no longer needed to strain my eyes in front of a screen or sit in an awkward position. And as you can figure out from my infatuated ramblings above, the kindle is really a blessing for me BUT obviously with every blessing comes a curse. Whenever you have someone dear to you, you will always have this one imbecile behaving like a tomcat in heat around you and your loved one..(I was pretty upset ). For reasons known only to the universe, I am always around people, I will call these people "group of people". When I got my kindle I expected them to simply acknowledge the fact that I got a kindle and say nothing more.... BUT... that is not to be.. These red bummed baboons have decided to irk me real good with their incessant comparisons, they keep comparing the kindle "AN E BOOK READER" to Ipad " A TABLET", Samsung Galaxy , "ANOTHER TABLET" and Aakash "OMG ANOTHER TABLET THAT HASN'T EVEN RELEASED".. Trying to make them understand the reason behind buying a kindle is useless since these pea brained rodents buy their gadgets by the zillions of half developed features rather than the few fully developed features. One of them insisted that the kindle should have come with a sim card setup, me mentioning the fact that I bought an e-book reader to read and not for the call feature was pointless.. Carrying one e-book reader & 1 phone is less bulky than carrying one regular sized tablet but **sigh** suddenly the kindle's e-book reading facilities were null & void because it did not support GSM but supported WI-FI.. A pdf reader on a tablet does not even measure up by a percent to a kindle's readability, I read for hours on a stretch and this is possible only with a kindle or a real book though I used to do the same with computers with the consequence of eye strain. So there I go again, explaining to them that I don't really care for anything but the reading interface, I don't care whether it has wi-fi since I know I won't use it as USB does the job fine for me. But nope, it is unacceptable that I would allow the WI-fi to stay but not demand for GSM.. The fact that not everything can be stuffed into one product does not enter their minds.. Why would I risk deprecating the quality of my reading experience because I wanted extra features my E-BOOK READER does not need. Trying to explain the simple fact that I picked an ebook reader for READING & use the computer for all other purposes is simply not enough.. It was especially hurtful since one cretin decided to say aloud "anyone interested in an overpriced black and white T.V?" while pointing at my kindle.. I would have really liked to punch cretins like him in the mouth since he didn't have to say anything if he didn't approve of my kindle. Sad enough, my parents who aren't tech savvy understood the purpose of my kindle more than these ignorant Neanderthals. It was getting really annoying that I had to DEFEND my kindle in a battle that was not even supposed to happen.. Ludicrous! I mean, just because you like shoes with Velcro, lace, buckles & elastic does not mean you add ALL of it to one pair of shoes. I am more than happy to buy different pairs for different purposes. The same way I don't mind CARRYING A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 750 GRAMS in my duffel bag. I was thankful that at least one of my friends fully understood and supported my kindle.. I guess there is still hope on this planet.. But I can't blame them in a way since today's market has spoiled the public. Each company is trying to deliver the ultimate "everything" without really catering to specific tastes. All I know is that these idiots need to get off my back before I go ape **** on them

lol well you should get credited the amount if your logs come out clean.. And OpaQue hopefully will have the system done in a few more days, last I spoke to him he mentioned something about finished one of the tough modules.. Looks like he will be recoding it to match current and future versions of IPB..**sigh** I never expected the upgrade to cause problems

@HoRus lol! Well rating the sig above me :- 7 out of 10. I love the concept and the fluidity but I am not sure what Orion is doing there .. And I wanted to know, what do the hieroglyphics translate to in your sig... I think the sun on the right side could be a little more prominent (?)

I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you Let's just say that I get to be around animals, books and computers all day long.. And that to me is really awesome

Lol you need to give it a bit longer, once the script realizes the changes and the cron runs, you should see the change.. And OpaQue said that he was looking into things Let's hope you see them really soon and you get to see a nice amount too

Lol you are everywhere.. The instant I replied here, I was told that you had opened a ticket.. Then I saw you sent me a PM at Xisto .. Well I sent the email to OpaQue.. When I see him online, I'll have him to do this so that you start earning your mycents.. In the meanwhile.. You keep posting as much as you can

I've been wanting to reply to this topic for WEEKS!!!! Firstly, How is Dido now that she isn't suckling puppies? I am hoping both Ebony and Dido are doing better.. Waiitng ever so eagerly for the promised pictures... I sadly have to agree with Sheepdog too, the crowd going into the college is a sucky one so they come out sucky too. Like I said in another post, the good ones go ahead to open their own clinics and become more focused on the money while the rotten ones decide to stick around at places where they do some serious damage. If you have never had a bad experience with your vet, I would not ask you to doubt him now BUT if you feel something does not feel right, don't hesitate to question him. You are correct here, you shouldn't rush into anything if you feel she isn't strong enough to handle it since all three phases of surgery (pre,surgery & post surgery) is a very taxing thing on the animal. Sadly this one is private, could you please make it public.. And greedy puppies are always the best thing to watch, did you notice the one little rugrat sneaking from under the others to get to the bowl.. Makes me want to get another baby animal >_< OMG Kittens and puppies!!!!! You are so lucky. At my birth home, all of our cats were mostly outside cats who used to come home only for food or if it was raining/cold. They used to often disappear for weeks on end or sometimes months.. Most of the toms stayed at home (protecting their territory I suppose) but the girls hardly stayed at home. The only time they'd come home is when the stork would come to them We once had three girls bring back half a dozen each, my mother almost cried(I think she did cry). I am so sad for you, I had a really tough time letting go of my pups, I cried so much. Shaz and Vinnie are just funny names, they must be nice and big now that they are 7 weeks old.. big tummies, those frownie faces and the hyperactivity... **sigh** Which is the puppy you guys planned on keeping? Or are all of them going to new homes?

Awww lots of hugs and kisses for your beautiful baby girl. Online gaming? lol I hope to hear more from you at the gaming forums then. Things have been busy for me.. I got a chance to work at the family vet's place for a year or so and then I got into some funkier work that lets me pitch in at the forums :)Good to see you again. Did you sign up at the billing system yet? Send me your billing email address and forum email address since it is odd that your mycent hasn't shown up yet

I know you have 2 accounts on KS (Horus and Horus79).. Do you have the same situation at Xisto too? If yes, then send an email to help at Xisto.com or help at Xisto.com with the forum username that has to be deleted. Generally you don't have to bother getting your extra account deleted if you are not going to use it...And you should know beforehand, you can post at Xisto and earn credits while keeping your Xisto/trap account but you cannot post using both horus & horus79 accounts at Xisto. If you like posting at Asta but signed up with a different email address and now would like to have mycents come into your one billing profile, just send a ticket to help at Xisto.com with "Attention OpaQue: Add "your billing email address" for "asta username" . Since OpaQue is tweaking the Mycent credit script here, he needs to manually assign your biling email address to the Xisto username if it has been changed.Hope you stick around at Xisto

HoRuS!!!!!!! WELCOME BACK!!! Omg I was told by the support tech that you most probably were gonna post here.. How have you been? I read your other post Tell us more about what you've been doing while you were not on trap.. How do you like the feel of the new place?

In a way you could say that the animals are earning their own food even if they aren't hunting for it since people do pay money to see them perform, the same money is utilized for their well being and the overall well being of the park so I really see nothing wrong with them performing since they are well maintained. In a really sad way, circuses work in the same way. Nope, many animals are dumped there for good since who would want to buy a stringy, straggly & sickly animal even if they were to be auctioned? And the organizations that take them in? Hah! they are as bad as Parel. The problem lies in the administrative sector of the hospital, NGO and so on, vets passing out of Parel are either stupid or smart, the stupid ones rely on Parel hospital or other government agencies to appoint them WHILE the smart ones end up opening their own clinics shunning any charity since that would eat into their profits. I've been around these vets, trust me.. The ones out for making money are hypocrites who "support the cause" but in reality will do nothing that would involve them spending money. And yeah, the same stupid race that passes out of the college are the ones who manage the veterinary clinics in villages.. How lucky are those animals.. eh? Many vets indulge in acts of cruelty with malpractice and inexperienced help... If i were to jab your dog wrong and it yelled out in genuine pain.. You would assume that your dog is being a drama queen since the vet knows better and has been doing it longer... I have seen help from another clinic kill an old dog by administering fluid therapy too fast (the heart & lungs of an old dog cannot withstand a fast drip session.. It has to be slow or super slow). The moron was in a rush to run home so he pushed in the fluid far too fast for the dog's heart to handle, she died a few minutes after the therapy.. The vet convinced the owners that it was because "she was already too old" >_> That my friend is the other side to animal cruelty. Celebrities are the tooth fairies of the adult world We use them to sugar a lot of pain and gory truth. I've been kicked by a cow and another has lifted me by the horns.. Petite people are not designed to be kicked and picked up by cows But I still love them and would not hurt them.. Saying that no amount of bonding and "gentle loving" can stop me from eating my occasional meat since the places I eat get their meat from organic farms. And I don't think a kid or adult would want to see the way your butcher puts down a cow.. Sure it would stop them from ever eating meat but I bet it will start some uber weird psychological complex in them This is clearly a diplomatic move or maybe the last drop of sanity left in their organization.. You cannot openly say "Either you stay vegetarian or accept you are a murderer", such lines could get you in a really big pile of trouble .And I appreciate them not forcing vegetarianism down people's throats, if someone were to do that, I'd call them a fanatic/cult

Welcome back Karlo, Since it has been a long time since you last came to Xisto,maybe you'd love to read about the new Mycent system and how you can start earning them once again. If you post often, maybe we can have those warnings of yours removed Yeah, Ebb and Flow I guess.. Sometimes I can manage to get in 5-7 posts in one session while most of the times I am forced to simply read updates from members but not really get the time to reply to posts. What made you come back to Xisto Karlo and how do you like the new changes made on the site? Maybe you will bump into some of the other old members

I've always disliked the stereotyping that comes with having a zodiac sign. I am a scorpio and not at all vengeful (my ex boyfriend & ex best friend can vouch for that ) but somehow "vengeful" is a typical trait many books/sites describe a scorpio as. Then again, I thought this could be fun.. I would say yes and no to that .. No denying the fact that sagis can be really really attractive BUT they can also behave like barbaric,uncouth centaurs >_< I had a 3 year relationship with one sagi.. Wonderful man but would I hunt him if given the chance? Absolutely!!!! The family vet and my mother are both virgos.. So damn fussy about all the stupid things... And super clean freaks! And since I am a slob, it really gets on my mother's nerves Totally agree with you on that one, my cousin is a piscean and he is like you start to end.. My friends and family will definitely agree with this one, apparently I am on the verge of OCD or killing people with my OCD And I share my sign with a shop lifter YAY! I beg to differ, I know a libran who is most definitely neither on the path of righteousness nor is he balanced...

Mama... life had just begun,

WHOISHOSTINGTHIS IS A SCAM!!!!! Biggest scam in this world (whoishostingthis.com) Even after reporting a bunch of sites wrongly listed as Xisto's they haven't updated it! I got a report earlier telling me that about a site hosted by Xisto.com.. Obviously, it turned out to be hosted by someone else. I mean come on! Is this some kind of a joke? And its worse when you see the nameservers and ip are not even remotely ours >_> Emailing them seems to do nothing! Is there a place I can report their shenanigans? I would really like to see the end of these false reports.. I have had enough of their false information and would not like to see trap's reputation tarnished because of a bunch of incompetent morons.

Thought I could add a few books I recently re-read :- Anton Chekhov :- Fascinating author, most of his stories are really morbid but not really morbid (hopefully someone gets what I am saying ) Animal Farm - Since someone mentioned George Orwell, I thought I would mention his other successful book James Herriot series :- A very beautiful set of books based on the life of a veterinary surgeon, it has all the comedy, romance and love one could ever want Fyodor Dostoyevsky:- Some find him boring but he gives a really good Robin Cook is another author you can try out Maybe you could come back and tell us what kind of reading you like, If you like religion.. then you could tell us the part of religion that attracts you the most

I sort of have an update on the entire situation. Firstly @Mahesh, Opa generally doesn't get the time to participate on the forums what with the office and his ongoing programming projects. Hopefully once he finishes the latest project, he should be able to join the forums once again so please don't go. It might feel like no one cares but your contributions do matter at both forums. And NO! the mycents are not controlled MANUALLY! It is only the guest posts that are controlled manually by mods. It was a preposterous myth started by members for some really peculiar reason. Besides you mentioned that your mycent earnings improved since the recent upgrade. The mycent system has always been automatic and still is, the script runs automatically irrespective of a person screening the posts or not. So there is no way your earnings have been affected by the screening module. I think you need to give the forums one more chance, start opening more topics and see how things go from there.. maybe you'll see a difference. Secondly, Opa is working real hard on getting all the codes up and running so that members get their mycents. Again I am going to repeat it.. Your posts are earning you the mycents even if they aren't getting deposited in your account. Once Opa finishes the code, all of the missing mycent will be added to your panels. Till then, send an email to sales at Xisto - Web Hosting dot com with your forum profile link and hosting/domain renewal due.. Your sites will not be affected until this is sorted

Well I am deleting this topic since it clearly did nothing to enrich Xisto

Welcome to the forums Algo, hopefully your posts have improved since the last time I saw you around @yordan : I actually googled "algo meaning" and this is what I got Source So maybe algo will tell us which is the correct meaning. Make sure to read the rules carefully and ask us your doubts

Domain transfer is a pretty simple & straight forward process. If you have the MyCent for it, you can move it to us The price is based on the extension so if the renewal price of a .com here is 12.95 USD then you will be charged 12.95 USD for transfer since the domain is renewed after transferring from one registrar to the other. Steps to follow before transferring a domain Get the authentication code from your current domain registrar, it is also called domain secret, epp code, domain transfer authenticate code and so on. Have Theft protection and privacy protection disabled. "Domain locks" too. Make sure the email address in your current Whois matches the new order you place at xisto. Whois is nothing but the details you submitted when registering your domain (name, email address, address, phone number and so on). You just need to make sure the same email address is used at LuckyRegister.com and at xisto. Now that you are ready to order :- Go to the domain transfer section of the shopping cart and enter the domain of your choice. You should see the price of the domain once you "check availability". The next step is where you enter your EPP code. Finish payment. What next? :- This is the last and automated part of the process. Now that the order has been placed, the email address you used at the old registrar will be sent an email asking to "authorize" the process Once you authorize it, depending on the losing registrar, the domain will automatically get transferred But for some reason it fails, you will be notified by xisto or by your losing registrar Best of luck and let me know if you need any more information

By the looks of how you are posting at the forums, it is gonna take a really long time before you even earn your first dollar. is the email address at Xisto - Support.com/billing the same as Xisto? if not, send an email to support at Xisto dot com with your forum email address and the name in Xisto - Support.com/billing.. An admin will have to manually change thigns to make sure you earn mycents. And I would recommend writing about something you really like instead of opening topics for the heck of it It would help you in earning mycents faster and from being warned.

I spam you spam, we all spam together? Congratulations on turning level 2
