  1. Yeah, the football picture didn't look very cartoon-ish at the end, but the "gangsta" one is really nice.Combing the picture with a very good printer, and you can have your friends thinking you're a B.A. artist!
  2. I have GMail Notifier! Well, I have the Firefox extension, not the one offered by Google.Michael, something tells me you didn't take the time to write that article/paragraph; I think a little copy and paste was in order.I think the original author deserves some credit...^I hope that wasn't too mean.
  3. Blix, thanks for the reply, but the phrase would not show if a person has JavaScript disabled because JavaScript can sometimes be intrusive.PHP, however, will always show because the server processes the request, not the browser.
  4. Michael...I think you're name is Michael...I'll just call you Michael anyway Anyway, Michael, I posted a reply to your other thread about CMS: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Basically, you go to your cpanel: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Find Fantastico (it's next to Addon Scripts and Agora Shopping Cart) - it should be on the bottom of the page. Then find Content Management on the Fantastico page (it should be in gray lettering). You will have a choice of 10 CMS to choose from: Drupal, Geeklog, Mambo Open Source, PHP-Nuke, phpWCMS, phpWebSite, Post-Nuke, Siteframe, Typo3, and Xoops. Click on your favorite. Most people at this forum recommend Mambo Open Source because of its flexiblity, but personally, I really have no opinion on any of them. You can hover over each of them with your mouse and read their descriptions. After you click on one of them, select New Installation. Follow the instructions and you're done! Sorry I couldn't give you a more thorough explanation of CMS because I don't use it myself.
  5. I like Dreamweaver a lot! I like the fact that it basically does everything for you. All you need to know is how to type a left bracket ("<"), and code-completion takes over for you. Also, it has TONS of snippets, and templates that you can use to make your site seem as professional as possible.The only thing I don't like about it is that it needs Windows XP AND a beastly computer to run smoothly. I currently have a 2.5 GHz computer, and when I used Dreamweaver, it would literally take me HOURS to update my entire site (about 30 pages), so I got tired of it and decided to uninstall it.Now I use Microsoft Notepad instead because it's so much faster! Also, making templates for your site really helps because all you need to do is copy the file and edit the new one!But yeah, definately use Dreamweaver if you have a fast computer.
  6. Dude! Jimmy, I'm so sorry to hear that, man!After seventeen months and the day right after prom, she decides to dump you? That's just cruel.Maybe she likes someone else. Who knows. Have you seen her walking around with some new guy in school?But of course, I'm one to speak because I haven't had a girlfriend since...well, forever.
  7. <question> I have a question on how to generate random phrases (facts, quotes, etc) which the server will randomly pick from txt file. Normally, I would use SSI to accomplish this task, but I recently added a blog (Nucleus) to my site which uses PHP (.php file). So my question is, how can you display random phrases in which the server will pick from a specified text file? Thanks! </end question> I saw a thread very similar to my problem, but the code supplied by Inspired does not allow the server to select the phrase from a file. The only reason I want this is because I have over 100 quotes, and putting all 100 in a big php file would be a hassel. Thread: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/7603-random-message-generator/ In case you're interested, this is how you can generate random facts using SSI: #!/usr/bin/perl -wTuse strict;my $quote;open(QUOTES, "facts.txt") or die "Oops! Can't find quote file: $!";srand;rand($.) < 1 && ($quote = $_) while <QUOTES>;print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";print $quote;Then you have a name the code above to facts.cgi and create a facts.txt file (or any name you wish) where you will store all your phrases. You must have one phrase per line. After that, place the code <!--#include virtual="cgi-bin/facts.cgi"--> in a place in your web page that you want a chosen phrase to appear, change the permission of facts.cgi to 755, rename your web page to xxx.cgi, and upload the three files.
  8. I agree with this statement 100%. I don't think the death penalty should be used at all because it doesn't teach the criminal anything. If you want the criminal to really learn his lesson, punish him to a point where he's suffering horribly - almost dying. Killing a person will not allow them the time to learn their lesson and be a better person.

    Lcd Screen

    It depends on what's on it in the first place. If you have dust, then just get a paper towel and wipe, but if you had a food fight near your computer, then get a damp paper towel and clean that sucker.Also, make sure your LCD is unplugged.
  10. Whoa! Your site looks professional. However, I do have to agree with Dragonfly. The width of the content box can be increase just a little bit. You can increase the width to about 800 because I don't think anyone 640 anymore.By the way, did you code your blog yourself, or did you use a CMS in Fantastico?
  11. There's one thing that Geocities has that the other hosts don't offer for free: 3 GB monthy bandwidth. However, the ads and lack of features easily outweigh that.I don't really see why you need ALL that space either. The maximum space I would recommend for a personal site is around 50, and 150 if you're going to have a large image gallery.I was going to suggest lifelesspeople, but eliavsd has already done that for me.
  12. I don't use neither, but I have a friend who uses Dreamhost, and judging from what they're offering and their price, I'm switching to Dreamhost once I get a job. And I won't leave the Xisto community once I join Dreamhost...unless you guys run out of money or something. Here's what Dreamhost has to offer (for all those too lazy to go to their site): * There are some features that Xisto has that Dreamhost doesn't, like unlimited email accounts, and unlimited FTP accounts. * https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/
  13. Haha! Nice!Something tells me copy and paste were involved...
  14. That's it, I'm officially moving to Canada according to what xboxrulz just said.Besides unrestricted downloading, Canada has more snow, and my uncle lives there.
  15. Bah! I wouldn't recommend using Bravenet to anyone because, like bs_varun said, it uses ads on its tools. The only thing I like about Bravenet is the content in their mails if you're on their mailing list.If you want great tools, use Fantastico in cPanel instead...of course, you have to get approved by NilsC or OpaQue first
  16. I've never used Maya Unlimited or any other 3D Graphics Software, but I am considering using one in the near future: https://store.blender.org/ Blender 3D is a free, open source 3D software that I recently saw on digg. I haven't used it yet, but it looks promising.
  17. Florisjuh, I tried refreshing the site via F5, refreshing by overriding cache (Ctrl+F5), and clearing the cache. All three times, I get the same result: nothing. It may be my slow connection. I don't think it could be my internet connection because my sister and I use the same connection by the same ISP, but just for kicks, what type of connection do you have?
  18. fsastraps, I'm curious, how does the boy contradict himself? Rebecca, sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I were a girl, too. The last line will not leave this forum.
  19. I agree with the last two posters. Can you please explain how you can use PHP in Yahoo and GMail?
  20. In other words, CMS is a PHP program where you can manage (for lack of a better word) all your web pages on your web site without having to create a new html or htm file each time you want to add a page to your site. Some people might compare CMS to blogs because the two are basically similar in how they operate. As for myself, I don't use any of the above...or any of the ones included in Fantastico for that matter, because the ones in Fantastico use tables as a mean of positioning. As for blogs, I use Nucleus***. If anyone know a CMS that uses CSS to position stuff, please post below because I love CSS as opposed to tables. *Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Management_System **Source: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ***Included in Fantastico
  21. Haha, jay kay. Here's my real computer specifications, which is not that much better than the former :
  22. Despite the fact that I download a lot, I have 52.4 GB left out of my 80 GB HD because I burn most of the stuff that I download.
  23. I'm not as cool as the person who replied before me because my graphics card is the one that came with the computer - Intel 64 MB...something...something...something.
  24. I'm not sure if this is only me, my connection, my computer, or whatever, but is anyone else out there having problems with accessing cPanel using Firefox 1.0.1? I mean, when I go to my cPanel page (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/), I see the title and everything (sang.trap17.com - Control Panel - Home), but the rest of the page won't load. However, the activity indicator on Firefox is active, meaning it rotates.When I use cPanel on Internet Explorer on my computer or on Firefox on my sister's computer, on the other hand, everything works fine. The Firefox version she's using is 0.9.1.The only reason why I want to access cPanel on Firefox is because of the tabs - I can open more pages without having to launch, or use, more system resources.If you know what the problem is, please help.Thanks!
  25. I wouldn't suggest using older versions of Epson because I currently own one, and it sometimes malfunctions. For example, one time, my Epson Stylus Color 440 printer printed 20-something pages of my last DOS prompt history just because it turned it on while the computer was booting.As for Canon, or newer releases of Epson, I have no take on either because I have never had any experiences with either.
