Most of you must have heard about the pirate bay where you can get almost any torrent you want. It is famous for various legal threats it has encountered and also the plan to buy a small country island to host their servers. It has now come up with another innovative idea for free censorless image hosting. Called BayIMG it is a minimalistic website with a upload form and ability to tag the images. It can support 140 different image formats and you can even upload compressed zip archives of images. You can also prevent displaying unappropriate images by changing the settings. Cool service to try out.

I agree with him. Its risky and if found out, you may be blacklisted. Instead try to improve on the content of the site. A site with good and original content always gets good page rank - provided you publish interesting news frequently.

Many new games are also released for Linux. Also there are cool games for linux. The gaming industry is beginning to take notice of the linux market and realised that we geeks too like to frag monsters. One advantage that I have in using linux is that I dont have to worry about viruses. In my college, every system is infected with viruses and if you just plugged in your pen drive, you are sure to be infected. Whenever I use my pen drive in college, I can easily come home, put it in linux, clean the files, and be happy.

Linux needs to have some sort of standardisation among the various distributions. One big problem that many of my friends face in linux is installing applications/ packages. There are too many ways to install a application. There is the debian way, RPM, Gentoo, and the good old source compile. Most of these confuse first time users as they are more accustomed to the next - next - next - finish kind of installation. In windows all a user need is get a CD or search the internet for an application, double click the setup.exe and install it, though some of the windows users still find it hard to do that.First there has got to be a common packaging system. I personally prefer the debian way. On my Ubuntu, all I have to do is goto synaptic and saarch for the necessary package and check that and install. All dependencies are automatically handled.Second is the user interface. Mac OS X is also based on Unix system. But look at the user interface. It just rocks. Everything is very easy to do on a Mac. Also their way of packaging is super cool for a newbie. All he has to do is drap and drop the application into the applications folder and it is ready to run. Linux still has a long way to go in terms of UI. Ubuntu is doing great on that part with really pretty interface. SuSE and Mandriva are also equally good. But since Ubuntu I haven't switched over to anything else. One thing that I like about Ubuntu is the viral marketing done by Canonical by providing free CDs. Come on, who wouldn't want a bunch of CDs shipped to them. Ubuntu is doing a lot of cool improvements in terms of usability. In those days the installation was a nightmare. Now you can put the CD in your drive and try out the OS before you install it. These are just a few important things to be sorted out before Linux even get a decent marketshare.

Yeah Ruby and rails is great for a new programmer trying to come into web application development. But my favourite language is python and there are lots of great frameworks to work with. There is Django, Pylons, Turbogears, web.py, etc. If you want to create some kind of CMS then do try out django. It has a cool auto generated admin interface. You just specify the models(database schema) and it automatically generates a generic administrator interface which can be fine tuned later.

Yeah ruby is a great language and rails really is a wonderful framework. You can do things in minutes which would take days and lots of programmers. Many say tat ruby improves the productivity of the programmer. But I am more into python and can't seem to come over to Ruby. maybe because of the "there is only one way to do something" in python. Ruby (particularly rails) has lot of magic going on which is difficult to understand for me.

Gmail's AJAX interface rocks and brought out so many cool features to the web. I can make use of the useful keyboard shortcuts and the user interface is intuitive. gmail has facility to label the emails you receive and also you can setup unlimited filters.And the best part is the integration of the various tools into gmail - like calendar, documents, photos, chat, groups, etc.No one can beat google in this yet.

I think now the site has switched over to the plain username/password scheme.

Good site with nice content. You can try to display related posts after each post(in the single post view).There are plugins for those.

That is a great website. And it is centered in 1280 by 1024px resolutions. But remember that the most used resolution is 1024x768 and it would still take some time to switch over to a higher one. If you are sure that your target audience will have that resolution, then you can continue with it. Just verify with your statistics/logs. BTW I am on Ubuntu linux and you site looks great on Firefox. Also check in various other OS/browser combinations.And regarding the text, it is a bit hard to distinquish from the site. Please add a little bit of contrast so that it is visible.

Its a sure way to to be banned by the search engines. Nowadats search engines have become very intelligent (this aint the 90s). Instead of resorting to those black hat SEO's, try to put in lots of relevant content. write in a blog or maintain a forum.

HiI am new to this forum and was very happy to find a free host without any ads. I am interested in programming, free and open source software and in general anything related to computers. Would contribute more in the forums.
