@web_desinger No one looks for trouble it comes as such . Just wanna bring out what all the forum members have in their mind about OpaQue. Moreover if some one has something in mind they wont tell it out thinking that it might affect them because OpaQue is the Admin and cant tell anything. Believe me he is a cool person. Atleast seeing me still unbanned just people shoot it. I think every one is waiting for OpaQue to post and give an affirmative signal that nothing will be done to those who post in this topic,then only people will start to shoot things, neway thanks to web_designer, anwiii and every one

you take soo much responsibility, really nice !! and yes i am very sure people over here are waiting for the update on MyCents and many other things like shout box etc. And thanks

ok people look, dont fight here saying India is poor or rich , the fact is India is still a developing country. As far as OpaQue im sure that he did not start everything with a huge investment. Still Xisto holds a good place. Huge investment is not necessary for a business to be successful, k what ever shoot out all the hidden thoughts which rings in your mind about OpaQue and his Xisto / forums , etc. Dont worry people shoot out, im still not banned. To be frank every one is kinda afraid he he . Under this topic every one used the term "No offense" he he .. including me.To be very frank im kinda afraid of Mr.Buffalo help more than OpaQue. Mr. Buffalo help is a very strict officer you know ? But he helps a lott !! Thanks BH And as far as OpaQue , why is that every one is so worried to post things openly here ? will you ban them ?

Yup, either i get banned or i get a bonus lol .. Just waiting, and Keeping my fingers crossed .. ..

By this i meant many times he is kinda broad minded, usually indians are not i suppose . And No offense by this statement .. if OpaQue feels so i guess he can delete this topic instantly No issues.

He calls him self The Administrator of Xisto (formerly known as Xisto) . Yeah its true he is the founder of this forum and Xisto Corporation. I dont wanna say any flattery words. But i know onething , at times he is crazy. For example it reads that he is 5 years old . Courtesy : His profile in this forum. So does any one know any where abouts about him ? Im quite sure that he is from India. But i am surprised to see the lack of indianess in him, actually i am also an Indian but i do have that Indianness in me at times . I got to know a little idea about his whereabouts. He studied and studies something in some university . The work he does now has no relevance with his studies i guess. Many days i ask him where did you study all the #include<stdio.h> etc. He says that he studied everythingg at home. Actually i could not belive that particular statement of his till now. If you wanna meet him, go to the costliest disco on a saturday night in mumbai(India) . Hope every one is familiar with the place "mumbai" after 26/11. I am very sure that he has some good friends both online and offline and both boys and girls. In particular Buffalo Help from US i suppose has to be one of OpaQue's closest friend. I dont mind revealing the orginal names of these two people. According to my knowledgs QpaQue is Shridar and Buffalo Help is Chris. I still wonder why Chris calls himself buffalo help . It is comon for people to have names like this in forums. I remember the Admin in phpfreechat forums called himself as "oldwolf" , lol . So now who all over here know the exact information of Mr.OpaQue. I am quite sure he is not an Alien. Where did he get all these things ( Xisto , Knowlegesutra , XISTO , etc etc ). Where did he learn things from ? He says he learn every thing from home. Heyy one more additional information which i got to know about him from him. He is a Lover of Google and he loves Google. Every one loves google. The thing is he is even ready to work for Google for FREE All the above written information is true to the best of my knowledge . If any one over here knows anything about QpaQue shoot it here, He remains OPAQUE for a very long time, Lets make him TRANSPARENT. What ever you have in your mind about QpaQue shoot it here. And OpaQue beware !! Very soon you may have to rename your display name to TrasParent No Offense !

what ever you may debate on this topic, still my stand is Social Networking websites are not a safe game to play unless one learns the rules of the game completely. Recently there was yet another issue which clearly shows and states that these social networking websites give your personal information to advertisers, which violates their own privacy policy. It works out like this. These social networking websites share the actual link with the advertisers. These link often contains the username of the user which will reflect to the orginal name in most of the cases There was actually a paper published in a journal on this particular issue. I do attach the link to that particular Journal Journal and more over this issue has been coming up in the media too in these days Link

that was a reply for . In chat rooms hackers go picking random accounts .

Have you had the habit of chatting in yahoo chat rooms ?? The HaCkers Lounge . There you can find a bunch of *________* people who hang around. The one who have a little knowledge in hacking will be hanging out there as a Hacker for Hire, so it happens they go picking accounts randomly(the one which some other chat mate requests) for which they get paid ..

But .. that may be your view, Still i am sure there are people who go hacking accounts just to see the pics. May be its new to you, but not to me. I would say, Social Networking websites will attract Noobs, but every newbie has to learn a lot before stepping into it, else it may lead to some terrific problems.Let me quote some incidents which happened recently then atleast people will understand the seriousness of social networking websites. Let me first take Facebook as an example then Twitter. To tell about facebook, i would say it is an excellent interface and it is really commendable ( Provided some one knows the hidden threats in it and then use it ) The Privacy policy of facebook is even longer than the United states constitution. There are so many members in facebook, both young and old. In facebook there is an option by name Poll as we have here in Xisto .. Uh .. no Xisto. Any Facebook user can create a poll and can make it available to the public. In such regard very recently there was a poll created in Facebook, the poll was "Should Obama be killed ?" The answers read , Yes, no , Yes if he cuts my health care. This particular poll immediately trigged the attention of the CIA and the FBI . I read in the news that immediately the CIA started investigating into this matter to find who has created the poll. Then they had tracked the exact person.Unfortunately it was a small boy, a minor i guess who has started this particular poll. So the CIA spoke with the parents and the matter was dealt with them. Then the realized that there was no threat in this poll matter and they had dropped it. What i meant to say is that that small kid who had started the poll really didn't mean to do it, Just he thought let me get the public opinion so he had created that poll. Just imagine if he had dome the same when he had grown up thinking that nothing is gonna happen. I am sure that the CIA will take him to task and interrogate him and take the matter very seriously. The one who creates the poll might not mean anything offensive , he or she might just raised what was running in his mind , but just see what is the consequences. He might be behind Bars. Let me quote another recent incident which occurred. This is with regard to Twitter. I guess Twitter need'nt have any introduction, yet another social networking website where every one keep themselves very much active. Recently there was a person who was a member of Twitter. Every one must be knowing that ash cloud problem. This person was a victim of that particular problem. He was stuck in an Airport for days and he did not have any other option. Frustrated, he stepped online and he logged into his twitter account. As the situation for him was so frustrating he sent a tweet from his account which stated something similar to "If at all they would make me wait for one more day, then i will blast this airport" . I really dont know who and how smelled this, immediately he was taken into task. The airport manager sued him for 1500 USD and a criminal case was registered against him. I am very sure that he wouldnt have meant that. Just these social networking websites attracts you to write things. Everyone must have noted in Facebook, it will be written "What is in your mind" . A 101 things may run in ones mind like this "I will blast the airport if they make me wait more" . So in this case just if you blindly get into the realm of writing what is in your mind you will land up in the hands of the cops and a criminal case will be registered against you. So this is what i mean, beware !! Learn what this social networking website all about.How to use it. It is something similar to how careful you use your credit card online. The best thing some one had quoted in this, face book is just another address book for me. Yeah I and for it. It can be used to keep in touch with friends like an extended address book, thats it ! . if you need to show a pic, ask a suggestion etc. Just PM him, mail him , give him a call etc. Not in these social networking websites. So beware ! Be safe !

Let me tell you i am not afraid of these social networking stuffs. I am afraid that what might happen to people who are unaware of many things and still they use all these social networking. I STRONGLY DISAGREE, Haven't you heard college guys saying, "I need to hack her password and check out her album" I have heard that during college if you havent .May be things are different in the place you live. May be in the place you live people hack only for money. I STRONGLY DISAGREE AGAIN !!!! . You dont get the meaning of a Thief. A thief neednt be some one who flicks money alone. reading the status messages, some thing may be which will be offensive to the victim apart from flicking money. I quoted that shopping thing as an EXAMPLE. If you say nothing can be done by getting to know the status message you are wrong. Because I myself have done something with that

I totally agree with the above comment. When there are a number of safe and secure way to transfer a pic to the recipient, why do you choose all these social Networking sites ?? People choose this, Just to boast about. For example if they have say 50 friends to whom they wanted to share a pic, they can very well do it through e-mail instead of putting it in a social networking page. All these social networking stuffs came to a peak when web 2.0 evolved. That is, everything in the web is interactive. Like you post a pic, some one comments on the same. Web 2.0 which is aimed in making things interactive actually didnt aim at these kinds of things. It aimed at something other than this like, Online ticket Booking etc. where every thing is made interactive. But i dont know whether it is fortunately or unfortunately these social networking websites came to a peak where every one got addicted to this. I do not condemn these things as bad. The only thing i worry about is that these things came to a peak but it failed to alert the public how dangerous it could be if it is not used properly. Let me put it a little more clear with this regard. Just think, those are the good old days when online shopping was not into existence. If you want to buy something you walk to a shop pay liquid cash and get what you want. But as days passed by, as internet evolved, then it came something known as the "Online Shopping" Of course here while purchasing something the customers had to use so called "Credit Card" online.Once this was introduced every internet users were alerted of the various threats and various things which are of much importance when they start using this online shopping. This happened because it dealt with money . On the other hand when Social Networking websites were introduced, none were told or alerted about the various drawbacks about the same .Every one saw it was looking good and they started to use it. Just because it did not deal with money. If every social networking sites would ask for credit card infromation then only people will take it seriously. Now let me ask, isnt revealing things( personal pics/ personal information / sensitive information ) over the internet more than money ?? ?? Just because one dosent deal with money directly they take it for granted these social networking websites and without knowing the seriousness they start to use it ?? Let me throw a simple example. If some one wants to steal cash from your purse, he or she is waiting for the oppurtunity and is following you closely on these social networking websites. One week end You reveal that "I am going shopping alone !! " . Now that the one who wanted to steal cash from you got the sensitive information from your end via these social networking websites So please, please find out some means through which people will get to know the seriousness !!

Yeah, All i mean to say here is that everyone who is soaked into the world of Internet will be knowing about the flaws in these social networking websites and they will keep themselves away from getting into any deep problems. But what about those not Internet soaked people who just step up online just to read a couple of emails and to find a place for themselves in these social networking websites. Ofcourse they are gonna be totally unaware of all the flaws and threats of social networking websites. What can be really done about this ? Just imagine a situation where a Non Computer science student steps up online just to find a place in any one of the social networking website. He/she will obviously like the way, the interface of these websites and will be tranquilized on seeing it. In short he/she might get addicted to it without knowing the threats which it can face. So there comes a point he/she will feel like writing/ posting anything and everything in his/her profile. If something would happen, he/she will feel to post it on her profile rather than telling it to his/ closest friend. On the other hand if he/she has a rival in his real life , the rival can easily monitor his/her activites through these social networking websites and can trap him/her according to his needs.So now its High time something is done regarding the same. A general awareness through news wouldnt reach that much. Once any one is addicted into something then they will not get the awareness things into their head that easily.Eg: There are a number of awareness programme being conducted on the ill effects of smoking and drinking. Though the person involved into these habits come across these awareness programme, still they are in a position not to take it. Just because they are addicted to it .Similarly one who is addicted to these social networking websites, they wont take the Alerts/ Awareness infos on the threats posed. So something has to be done here at this point. Any suggestions ??

If i had enough $$ I would travel to each and every corner of the world and can see with my eyes the splendid Glory of the Creator. But i know that i cannot visit each and every place in the world, That is practically not possible. I wanted to Visit the United States of America and live there and understand their culture and way of living. Another place which i really wanted to visit is Israel. I love Israel more than any country. I Love the Jewish people. I dont know why, I am not a Jew. Still i love them. I salute them for their Intelligence. It is such a small country , still a MIGHTY one . Its God's chosen country and no one can ask God why He has chosen them because it is God who chose that Nation. Nations and terrorist may rage against Israel, but i am very sure that the Holy Ghost of Israel ( God ) Neither sleeps not slumbers. I love Israel soo much that i wanted to visit that country once in my life.

Today the very common Technology used by both young and old, rich and poor is gonna be Social Networking. Social Networking includes the common and the very famous ones like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut etc. Are these things safe enough ?? The most sad part in this is, there are youngsters who use these social networking websites without even knowing the security risks involved. People think once they go online they are safe.Just let me consider one of the risk factor. This is available both in Facebook and in Orkut. The ALBUMS. Albums is some thing where every one keep their pics. Both personal and non personal. I consider it as a security risk. The one who keeps all his/her pics in the album thinks that he or she is secure because of the privacy settings over there. They are just blind folded by the tag "PRIVACY SETTINGS" which will protect them from people who try to steal their pics. NO !! actually it dosent work out that way. If x wanna see y's album and if Y's album has some strong privacy settings. X have two options, Flick the password of Y and check out the album. Now that Y may think that he or she is cleaver enough that he can keep his password secure. In such a case X can flick the password of one of Y's friend and login to his account and can access Y's Album. Here what ever secure Y may be his album is exposed to X. Like wise there are many places where social networking can rage as a big threat.I do not deny the advantages that it has in today's cyber world. All that i wanted to convey is that every one must be vigilant enough about the threats available in these social networking websites and then they must step into it. Else after a heavy loss it will be too late to realize.

Yeah I Do agree that, Recently after a very long time US( the Obama Gov) had some cold understanding with the Israel government regarding the construction of homes. But just one week after that cold understanding Netenyahu was invited to the whitehouse and they had a discussion for more that 1 hour and nothing was revealed.I hope that they had settled their cold understandings. I am very sure that United States of America wont go for any kind of mis understanding with Israel. Because they know where Israel were are where they are and where they will be. What ever it is God's own country. A Chosen Generation ..

The thing is that there is some major update work going on in Xisto. I guess MyCents is gonna be back in 4 days from now. But raise your issue to opaque and ask him, he might be able to help you

@ web_designer : I am not talking about mainframe system administration, I am talking about the mainframe programming, things like COBOL, JCL , CICS , DB2 , VSAM. And i am much interested in this because i am into it now. And this is the first time i am coming across these thing so i wish i had some one to share what ever i wanted to and some one to teach me what ever they have experienced in this field Thank you

I do agree that the United States of America is one of the strongest and most powerful country, but i guess the master mind behind the strongness over there is Israel , The Jew Brains !! Just take for example Nasa, people who work over there are Israel people and Indians. It is not that America Launch a rocket. It is like America launch a rocket with the advice from Israel (Jews who work in NASA) and with hard works of Indians. We may not be able to get the exact details of the number of Israel people who work in Nasa and the number of Indians who work in Nasa, but take Columbia shuttle as an example. It was a disaster. But just check out the crew in that shuttle. The Mission Specialist was Kalpana Chawla, she was an Indian born aerospace engineer and she was on her second space mission. Then whom do you think was the Payload Specialist in that shuttle ? it was Ilan Ramon, a colonel in the Israeli Air Force and the first Israeli astronaut !!

I just wonder , why is that none over here speak / write about Mainframes ?? is it that it is a old, stone age technology which is being used today ?? or is it that no one is into that what ever it is .. Just to convey. COBOL is the Application Programming language which is used in main framesJCL is the Job control language which is used in main frames.CICS - This is used for online application development in main frames. Is there any one over here who is into mainframes ?? do reply please

Jesus Christ !!! How is this possible ?? what is the capacity of their hard disk ?? !! and this is the first time i see this !! Thanks for this information !!

In today's world every one is quite familiar about the operating system Linux, windows. Every little kid will be able to tell at least one or two words about windows or linux. People are familiar about these 2 operating system because they use one of them in their personal PC's. Now i just wanna make every one aware of the fact that there is something known as "Z operating system" I got to know this very recently and i was just wondering how come i never got to know about this particular operating system for over a period of time. This is the operating system which is used in mainframe computers. The sad part over here is that every one(including me)would have been familiar with the term "mainframes", not only familiar with the term but also we will be knowing what is it.But we might not have known what is runs on .The operating system which is used by mainframes is Z/OS. It is a proprietary OS of IBM. Z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for mainframe computers. It was developed by IBM. Before Z OS was into existence there were few Operating system which IBM was using such as OS/390, MVS and some others. The mosh highly Appreciated fact about Z operating system is that it has extreme backward compatibility .Z/OS has the attribute of modern operating system and retains its orginal functionality too. So i wish every one take a not of this. In a nutshell remember this "Mainframes uses Z operating system"

Ya of course they will be afraid that they might loose their brand. And this is not a waste of money for them. Just imagine a scenario where they do not renew a domain name google.*** and if some one else takes that domain then Google has to pay him or her a huge ransom and get that domain name back. So just to avoid that Google is taking some precautionary measures where in they need not go and beg some one to give the domain to Google.

Piracy might help in recuding Reduce Movie/music/game/software Prices etc. but please dont forget it also helps some one to go to prison
