  1. I agree with the opinion that there are artists that don?t evolve but I suppose when you get older (U2, REM or Lou Reed for example) you dont live the same way, specially if you are richer than in your young and wild years. I don?t think it?s so easy for artists to change their positions... music industry has no mercy and labels take a step back whenever they hear something risky. Always better the easy way.Anyway you talked about U2. A really great band, but their last two albums are just contemplative... nothing new, medium level songs that (mean to) sound like Joshua Tree era.I suppose that in the Internet era listeners have to make the choice. ?Search original things or wait for the labels to sell us the same stuff over and over again, each time of less quality? It?s our choice.
  2. Maybe it?s some kind of incompatibility with the <li> tag inside which you have those buttons. I don't know, but the background blue is the same as your site background color... so, try to get rid of that tag and see what happens.
  3. I?m with Playstation 2 too. X Box doesn?t have anything that makes it really attractive apart from an aggressive way of understand the entertainment race who makes them selling a really expensive device at prices lower than factory?s ones... dumping, indeed. Only for obtaining monopoly... some things never change. PS2 is much more enjoyable and has better games and Sony has a not too long but brilliant career in that market.
  4. All you have to do is open photoshop, fireworks or another image editor, and make what you want to appear there in a small size (I Think it?s 16x16 or 32x32 pixels. Don?t know if both of them are correct, but I have one of 16x16 in my website and it works). You have to save that as a .bmp file and then rename it to .icoNormally you pick your logo and resize it to smaller one, but you have to make sure that your logo will be crearly visible with that small size. If not, you?d better try with another thing that is representative of the site.The favicon appears in Mozilla and Netscape-based browsers and Opera, but also in explorer when you bookmark a page.
  5. Mmmm... In fact Fireworks runs faster in my computer than Photoshop. I think last one spends more time loading.
  6. Although its the system I use at home, I don?t like Windows. I?m getting used now to Linux and I suppose that if I could deal with all the compatibility issues, I would use only Linux... games aren?t a big problem because I don?t play too much and anyway, a partition with Windows would be fine. I also like Macintosh... I?m into web design and Mac has been for ages a standard in that with programs like Quark Xpress or Freehand. Besides, I hate the fact that Windows is a copy of previous O.S of two computers: Macintosh and Amiga. I?d really love that Microsoft went bankrupt.
  7. Very interesting... thanks a lot!I?ve just tried and it gives a good result.
  8. I don?t understand it very well. The idea is to make a directory with our websites hosted in Xisto?It seems a good idea, anyway.
  9. In my opinion... SOAD is far better that Disturbed (a mediocre metal band). Disturbed has a couple of good singles but listening his albums repeteadly is kind of boring...SOADs two records (and also Steal This Album) are into the best of new metal... but Cigaro didn?t impress me too much... is not a good song compared to Sugar, Spiders, Chop Suey or Toxicity.Only my opinion, sorry
  10. I download movies of course but I don?t know if that law is good... the proiblem is in this part of the text, "a tax was payed on blank media". I see that in France, like in Spain, there is a tax that you pay each time you buy a CD... It is supposed to pay author?s rights. Users are angry because we?re paying for it even if we don?t use it for movies or commercial music. If I want to keep my own music, documents, photos, etc ina CD I pay for something that others do to unknown benefactors. So, this appears to give users a legal right for doing so many copies as they want.Anyway a dangerous law. Let?s see what happens next.
  11. You have to upload your files in the "www" folder. That will be your root If, for example your web is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and you upload a file in that folder called file.zip, the url to download it, would be: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Easy
  12. It?s a comparative of two (good) email providers... anyway it doesn?t reveal anything new... everybody knows what differences yahoo and gmail services But I don?t understand neither what the hell is PHP support in mail accounts
  13. I would make a more attractive banner... fewer buttons or at least less dispersed. I?d try to make something with tables also... better without borders and the cells on the right and or the left slightly coloured... Also, notice that the cell in which tha main banner is has white bakground... and the banner?s background is pale blue. Try putting in cell?s bg that blue.And for all, like someone said, try CSS... your website will look much better.
  14. Does it spreads around msn network no matter what program you use or only if you are using a version of Microsft MSN?For example, I use Trillian...
  15. I?ve choosen PSP. I?m not very convinced with that touching-system that Nintendo DS has... anyway I?ll have to see if it works and how its applied to each game.
  16. I don?t know if it?s true or not but the fact is that is [bLEEP]ing crazy You know, there are laws that give him the right to keep innocent if anything reveals that is guilty. But anyway, if he don?t go to jail, must be at least living in a mental hospital because it?s not very usual his behaviour.
  17. Mmmm... usually I?m always using this programas...WS FTPMozilla Firefox, Trillian, MircWinamp, VideoLan, Db PowerampFlash, Dreamweaver, Freehand, Fireworks, PhotoshopSoulseek, Azureus
  18. Interesting extreme situations... 1. If the internet went down.I?ll get a little angry but I?ll wait... what else could I do. Probably I would turn on the TV, see that nothing?s worth there, read a comic, book, magazine and listen to music (I?m always listening music).2. If Phones and all communication went down.I wouldn?t care too much... as long as I?m in a city and can communicate with people by speaking. Only wait and do the things I?ve said above.3.If all of the above happened...Suicide is a good option But I think, these strange times, for example when electricity goes off are good for discovering our real nature and discover that the man is a social animal and needs to keep contact with other humans constantly.
  19. I used to get annoyed with pop-ups, specially in thaty kind of "underground" places where you get lots and lots of windows and you get overloaded. But since Mozilla came into play for me is the less disturbing kind of advertisement... I don?t even know when a website has popups because the browser blocks them and so, I don?t have to worry about it.
  20. I don?t like Windows Media Player. It isn?t useless at all... but in general terms Winamp is much better, as said. More compact, faster in connection, gives you more control and it needs fewer resources.For audio Winamp... for video, VLC
  21. Very good! I would like it much more in blck bakground and white lines, but in white it?s still pretty good work! The idea is great, congratulations.
  22. I have very few friends... I don?t like to call people friends so easily so I?d say that I have two or three real friends... and sometimes have doubts about them It?s very sad but that last words are nearly the truth. We are humans and we have enough with our own problems... we don?t like to share other?s ones. Friendship always works better with hapiness, but this is also an artificial friendhisp, I guess.
  23. Each time I read things like this, I am happy for never have fallen in smoke?s temptation, which is easy because I never liked it.I proved it when I was a teenager and it didn?t like me... after smoking a pair of cigarettes I got the mouth dry and tasting horrible... I?m not surprised with the fact that cigarettes have all those awful substances... it tastes bad :blink:In my country now the government puts threatening slogans, pics of black lunges and disgusting things like that which is very hypocritical because its an important incoming source.
  24. Mine is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (alternative music in spanish) Still moving from another server... so not fully functional
