  1. I've been a member of this service for quite some time now. Maybe not as much as others, only 6 months. But its been a great 6 months. I originally started posting on these forums, and I was addicted for a good month. I earned about 100 credits to spare. While posting, I worked on my website - a hobby tryin to earn some money from google adsense. I outgrew the free web hosting and decided it was time to upgrade. Sadly I didnt go with your sister host because I needed extreme amounts of bandwidth and space. Currently I have 3TB of bandwidth monthly and 300GB of space. I still continue to use Xisto though, because other sites are still linked to my Xisto account, I used cPanel to redirect to my current site. (BlackLabelled.com if anyone if interested).Although I don't have time to post on Xisto forums, even though I could easily make the time to keep my credits up enough (basically posting a topic a day, or every 2-3 days - I have decided to pay for credits and have justified it as a cost to my website. Although I wasn't sure how much traffic goes through my site because it is an instant redirect, google analystics doesn't pick it up as a referral. Recently my credits ran out and my payment hasn't been approved, so my account is suspended for now (although this will change when my credits come through), I have realised I do get quite a bit of traffic going through Xisto. I was wondering why my traffic count was down recently. Ironic. Anyway, I just wanted to say Xisto is a great source, and I will recommend it to anyone looking for free hosting. I thought I would post my storyconsidering ive gone through every free host out there. I used to be resourceful, almost cheap, and Xisto satisfied my needs. It really helped me develop as a web designer because I never hd to worry bout switching from host to host. I would recommend to anyone that can save their time to upgrade to Xisto - Web Hosting (Xisto.com's sister site).thank you very much Xisto, it has been great working with you. Good luck to your website in the future, your development, and your sister sites and other projects. Great forum, great members, great service/hosting, great support!James BurtonblackL.trap17.com // blacklabelled.com
  2. well i appreciate your help. I ended up going with a different provider, sorry Ill show you my reasons.If Xisto - Web Hosting is anything like Xisto - it is a very good host. Support is friendly yet professional. Only problem I had with support was the three day waiting period on the pre-sale question. Not a big deal. My main problem was freedom plan is roughly $15/mo for 250GB bandwidth and 10GB space. I needed slightly more space - 20GB for now, possibly more in the future and 250GB would not help my quickly growing site. I found another host of which i pay $8/mo ($4 if i went yearly) for 3000GB bandwidth and 300GB space. This should cover my bandwidth costs for a while even though I believe before I even hit that quote I will need to upgrade to a dedi for quality/speed purposes. Still, it is cheaper and gives me alot more room to play. Plus support was instant because it is a big company.Im sorry for not supporting Xisto - Web Hosting. Im sure Xisto - Web Hosting is a great service, considering Xisto is the same service and I would still recommend Xisto/Xisto - Web Hosting to any friend/web designer. You can possibly see a dedicated server purchased in the (far) future pending success of my current website. Thank you very much for your services! Great service.
  3. Well, although it was done possibly for good, perhaps they should try other methods. I have a few various ideas, ill list below. There is probably a reason the population in russia is not as, lets says, wanted. This is probably (just assuming) because of living conditions, jobs, healthcare, education, government policies. ---One---The government should attempt to overall increase healthcare, education, and living conditions in the country. That will increase people wanting to live there. While this (obviously) does not make babies, it does decrease emigration, increase immigration, and overall influence the population.If the country has a good healthcare system, justice system, government policies, equality, less warfare, better education, ect - who doesnt want to live there? To be more indepth, ill give you a few minor examples. With better healthcare, more people will obviously want to live there, but life expectancy will increase aswell as less deaths. This can be done with more funding and benefits for healthcare workers/nurses/doctors/media awareness. A good solid fair justice system will also increase equality - with that comes immigration. A better education will influence immigration, the welfare of the people, and the future of the country - overall contributing to a healthy living condition. These are just a few examples, im sure you can think of more---Two---Multiculturalism. If the country has more equality and benefits for various cultures, this will bring more people. Instead of being so dedicated to one religion and building and developing various areas to various cultures, immigrants will flock. With an overpopulated asia just south of them, and a largely populated middle east west of them - a few established multicultural cities will greatly increase the population.---Three---Education and media awareness. This is directly related to the idea of influencing people to procreate with prizes, instead of giving people prizes for having a baby on a particular day, they should instead give benefits to having child. Similar to Canadas/United States position after world war 2. The idea of giving prizes is an immature idea, and with more development could spawn a great idea. For example, the government could award a monthly cheque for every child up to say 4 years. Of course there are drawbacks to this idea, but it can be temporary placed for immediate results. You can debate this, saying that parents will have more children they will abandon or neglect just to receive some money - and this probably will occur. But there is loopholes in every system.Those are a few ideas that came to me. Basically, the government should make living conditions better and simply put - make the country a good one to live in.
  4. I am interested in Xisto - Web Hosting's Freedom Advanced plan. 10GB of Diskspace/250GB Bandwidth for $14.95 a month.Is the domain free even if I choose to pay monthly?Will the prices ever change; Will they go up or down?Are the servers faster/more reliable than Xisto? (Xisto is a good service, just wondering if quality increases with payment)Is the activation immediate?*edit.. new question: If I go over the bandwidth limit, does my site show an error until next month, or do I get charged with fees. And can I upgrade bandwidth/space if I need to in future?PS: In the flash at top of website, Difference is spelt Diffrence. lol, just so you know
  5. Have you ever heard of the google recruitment advertisement? Perhaps you should look it, while it is old and no longer avalible - it is really cool and maybe yu should research it and it might give you an idea of the type of people they are looking for.
  6. actually there is a cell phone out. Im not sure how it is programmed, but it had i believe three buttons on it. One button is to recieve a call One button is to send a call (to home) One button is to call emergency I could be wrong, I seen it long long time ago. But regardless, they are out there and do exist. Google children's cell phone and there are plenty of articles and what not. It would be a good idea to give a 13 yr old a cell phone because it would allow them to go to local theatre with friends and still be able to contact them. I use to go, only my buddy had a celly though. And heres the post about the firefly Source: http://cash4digitaltrash.com/free-email-newsng-children.asp
  7. Regardless of what water monkey said... it was a good two day binge, and definately rougin it at that. First night, there was just the three of us and we forgot utensils/plates ect. We ended up flipping hamburgers with an axe I cleaned with water, then serving them on a fresbie. Good times, lots of beer, no fights, fireworks, music, and just a little bit of trouble. Crazy weekend
  8. Just for you I researched it a bit and came up with a lab that is using halographic storage methods... and this is what I came up with... Story 1... "Add water and get 12.8 Petabyte on 1cm˛ " Source: http://www.aol.com// Story 2... Source: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread185529/pg1 there are two completely different stories I had no problem finding... and you guys should definately read the first one. I assume that's what this thread is talking about.
  9. Wow, A couple of weekends ago I went to sauble beach. Let me fill you in with some general facts before I tell you my story... I am going into Grade 12B... which is second year grade 12. Alot of people went to Sauble Beach on this particular weekend from my highschool. (All same camp ground) Most of these people were light friends of mine. Two good buddies of mine had a campsite there aswell, friday and saturday night. Me and my girlfriend went up on the saturday night. Now to the story. It was absolutely crazy! We showed up around dinner time Saturday, and the campground had quite a few kids. This particular campground is for parties, their website specifically says you can play your music as loud as you want and all night long. Me and my girlfriend showed up to the desk, got a campsite... The exact words from the owners of the campsite were "What the hell do you want?" - lol. Anyway, we got a site beside my good buddy and set up the tent and stuff. Everybody in the campgrounds were kids... 16-24 years old and people were walking around every which way... music coming from every direction... beer flowing... ect. I was in heaven. You might be askign why I mentioned our neighbors across the road, as they seem insignificant. Well heres a little R-rated story for you ive hidden, read at own discretion. People would walk by talk to you, ask you where your from, offer you a beer and head on. I had 18 with me so I was good for the night. So we got bored, and head over to the neighbors campsite across the road to introduce ourselfs, there was three guys - seemed cool no problem. Then more people came and we just shot the breeze and relaxed. It started getting dark and a party was forming at the campsite beside us. Must've been 150 people, it was crazy. Completely loved it and had a good night. Biggest party ever, not too many older people, a few 40yr olds that stayed off in there little section nd dropped by when the party started. No fist fights, two little scuffles, it was relaxed and calm and just chills. Well, its labour day weekend this weekend. I am not sure if the states has labour day weekend, but Canadians get the monday off for a long weekend. Last weekend before all the kids go back to school. Me and my good buddy, along with two other buddies and my girlfriend have decided to go up for the friday/Saturday night again. Were not sure if there are going to be other kids going to the camp grounds we are, but there website has an advertisement for labour day party weekend for kids. This should be fun! Website below. http://www.whitesandscampground.com/ Anyway point of story... I'm heading up tomorrow morning, and hopefully I'll bring back some stories for you. As for what were bringing... this might remind some of the older crowds of the good ol days... Packing list... 2 sleeping backs... 1 tent... couple burger/shotdogs/tinned cans (cook on fire) 1 cooler with ice and most importantly... 2 2-4's of cold beer. (and maybe some liquor for the girl) So should be a crazy weekend, ive been physced for past two weeks... and Ill bring back some crazy drinking stories. See you all in a couple days.
  10. I believe that is 30 PB? Which is a PetaByte, as according to wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petabyte Now 30PB could come in some serious handiness. Im sure if you had a 30PB hard drive... alot of companies would sponse you a Gigabit connection to allow them to use your harddrive as a server (database). With that, they would store their data (rapidshare has 2.4PB which isnt all used) and you would also have a nice connection provided it wasn't maxed out all the time. If you was, I'm sure you could limit the connectivity and save 10mbit (1,000kb/s download) to yourself. Im quite the thinker... thats my little scheme. You would receieve from 10mbit connection no matter what... and possibly faster depending on how much you would want to borrow and conserve. More importantly, out of the 30PB you could allocate a certain amount for yourself.. lets say 1/100th of a Pb (10TB) which is still plenty.
  11. i liked SM's from the beginning. the vectors plus the girl are just simply sexy. The other two, while well done, simply seem like a copy of SM's (no offense guys) and while it was a nice attempt it didnt match it overall. Will... the girl has too much done too her, should have left her nice and sharp... as well your signature is missing a nice 1px border. Mich... the border or yours really makes it look unprofessional... and the writing should have been slanted and faded to make it look like it was part of sand.No hate on any signature.. better than I could ever do and fairly good all around. Vote to SM still.Saint-Michael:2Will.Allison:0Mich:1
  12. what? Considering it is only 2.6ghz... but is rated up to over 5ghz. Plus its a dual core. With 2 GB of ram, and a downgrade to XP ... add a new video card and that thing is ready to game. Plus I plan to upgrade to 4GB eventually.. even though this will handle most games at 2GB
  13. That is kind of cool, but it is a lightly coded script. Still a cool idea. considering I only put my website up yesterday, it is already worth $5. We'll check back in a couple weeks seeing as mine has alot of links going out and is growing by the 10's daily :XD:.
  14. that computer isnt bad at all... save some extra money and upgrade to 2 GB ram for bout $80... and add a 500GB hdd for $80... Iknow those two together cost bout $160... but you'd have all the space youd ever need plus you need more ram. If anything just upgrade to 2GB ram and if your budget, go for 1 GB ram... you definately need it. Your comp will run alot smoother and quicker - im sure you already know this tho. As for the 500GB, that could be a bit overboard for yourself... possibly go for a 120GB for $40... tigerdirect has 72 hour sales and HDD's can be amazinly cheap. Sign up for their newsletter.
  15. newegg prices...processor: $119motherboard: $200HDD: $90Graphics Card: $70Memory: $45x2 = $90case w/ PS & Fans = $55cables: $20dvd burner: $30total: $674... with no media card reader. So im saving $200. Tigerdirect has amazing prices, and I'd choose them over newegg. After you take everything into considerating, it does add up. I have no idea how you built a computer for $280... Processors and motherboards alone would cover that. *note: you could probably eliminate $70 for graphics card as most motherboards have some type of Graphics card built in. So almost $700 before taxes with work and 5-10 several orders... compared to one order, no work, and $500. I think I'll stick my my Tigerdirect order that comes with an operating system by the way. I will format and clean install an XP or Vista myself to maximize performance.
