  1. Damn. When You put that quote which says the original gets destroyed, it makes me think the whole teleportation process must then be painfull or highly dangerous. Cause think of a fax machine you sometimes get a fail. Imagine that You wree teleporting to spain and the power cut half way throught he process (obviously we are keeping a fax machine in mind here. The other end gets half the fax and the original is still intact now if we were deleting the original as we went along, then it would mean we'd only have half the original left ofcourse we could try again and fax the last bit of the fax so the whole document goes and we are left with a blank paper here or no paper if instead of deleting the written info the original is simply vanishing during transmission.So there is the chance that there could be half a person here and half a person there ouch. hahahahOk maybe someone else will say yeah but with the 3d faxing it would wait till the whole document ( all the information making up the 3d shape) to reach its destination before erasing or vaporising the original. which is clever but scientifical speaking that means that for a fraction of a second there will be two exact clones before the original is vapourised right. Now looking or taking a chance we assume that the orignal fax will transmit the 3d object and the receiver will then reconstruct it and relay to the sender that the 3d object has arrived in whole at this exact moment there are two copies of the object the arrived one that just sent confirmation and the original awaiting to be vaporised. Cut the power at this exact moment before the vaporisation occurs and you have two clones wandering about. That's gonna obviously help increase international crimes by one mastermind and possibly increase the number of wars as each side had a copy of the best soldiers or even a million of one soldier who was faxd to the next rom and at the right moment the power was cut rendering two completre same persons and these two were then re faxed to another room and power cut again to make four soldiers then 8 , 16 32 and so on till there is a million of one soldier. better still they can then reprogram the machine to not even delete the original and to print 100000000 copies of one Rambo type mercenary soldier to be trainined and sold to other countries and each country will buy the total package soldier and soon the whole world will be at war with the same copy of one soldier lol. Damn I must surely have too much time on my hands. Im over thinking this arent i lolAnyway. I believe we are not far from Telep[ortation bercause in reality science has made a lot of progress over the las few years. but in actual fact science hasnt really made any frther progress but just made past inventions better and more accessible. Its not like they have achieved flying cars and computer drivend cars etc. Like they would depict in movies of the eighties. Basically they can even teleport an apple or dead objects or guinea pigs excuse the pun for I doubt we will be teleporting anyime during the next 50 years. The closest we should expect is maybe travel to the moon or lunar station if ever they build one. Cause right now its all just a pipedream
  2. wow I didnt realise that there was also a variation of the scan aka Russian ways of Yahoo how do those work?Then you mentioned the WSO and digital ones. I havent come across those but would love to get a heads up just in case they catch me off guard. You ever get like totally random mails from so called russian girls who claim they found your details on eharmony and stuff. cause I just got one from a girl in Russia who said she got my profile on e Harmony and to my surprise I have never every subscribed on eharmony. I eveen went onto eharmony to try and log in using the email she wrote me on to see if someoen else was using my email to signup to eharmony both the UK and American version resulted in a zero answer. I even tried going to the forgot password page and asking it to send the password retrieval to my email and lo and behold it said something like that email is not registered. This makes me wonder where she even got my email address from. Are these the scammers from Russia then?Do they rope you in by pretending to want marriage and love and a future with you then ask you to send money for a ticket which they will have inflated and money for visa's etc and even to the extent of coming to UK and getting married to get papers before they dump you for a better life or what. Wow I cant believe that the world has become so coniving and greedy lol. What happeened to people just wanting pen pals as they used to be called in the eighties and ninties. I remeber a time you would get pen pals and just write to each other and get to be friends ith someoen across the globe and with no evil intensions or thoughts of conning each other or using each other. But now you cant trust even the best of people if you meet them on line. So what are digital point Forum scams. So I can be weary of those to
  3. The one thing you shouls never do it mess around with your phone settings especially if you havent made a backup of the firmware. I dont know how many times I have read this on forums and phone hacking sits but I realise how valuable this information is especially now when you are crying for help.I hope you have learnt your lesson and will be smart in future when you mess around with firmaware. What I would suggest is you stop stressing so much. Get on the internet and browse patiently in forums for a solution. Try and search for the K800 original firmware and revert to installing that. I guess you voided your warranty by messing with the firmware but you may also send it back to Sony official Warranty centre nearest to you just tell them your babay sister was playing with it and now its ll confused and dont work properly you think its a problem with the software. Normally they will ask to have a look at it and you post it to them and if you kepp your fingers crossed they will send you a barand new K800 to replace the one thats messed up.The main thing is patience though
  4. I have always been savvy when it comes to random emails in my mail box from unknown persons especially ones the read something likeToyota have been doing a promotion and your email was selected randomly as one of the 5 winners acros the planet. The random pick of your email means you have won a Toyota Landcruiser and 2,5 million British Pounds.The funds will be couriered to you as sooon as you ring this number 0044xxxxxxxxxxxx to claim your prize.FaithfullyYung Chi LiI always think yeah rite, why would toyota do that and even when out of curiousity I ring up to waste the Scammers time, I ususally get through to some Nigerian accented bloke claiming to be Mr Li. And cant even speak japanese. cause once I said Conishuwa probabaly I have spelt it wrong but thats basically how its pronounced and it means good morning in Japanese and to my Surprise Mr Yung Chi Li responded to me in English and asking me to speak in English please he also said he would rather do BUsiness in English than any other language because his Job description never forced him to stick to Japanese. LolAnyway they go to tell you on the phone that they can fedex the Money in CASH to you on receipt of a COURIER fee of 79 dollars and you recieve the money within 24hours. They give you a Name to use on WESTERN UNION or Moneygram and if you pay that you never hear from the scammers or recieve your prize money or get the courier fees back. Anyway The kind of scams are obvious to you and I but apparently so many people across the worl fall for such scams. As stupid as that sounds I believe this scam is actually one of the most sucessfull scams being pulled off around the world. EVen Legitimate companies rake in hundreds of thousands using the same tactic. In legitimate business they call them sweepstakes. You buy a magazine and there is a scratch card which has all these winning options get 3 of this win that get five of these win a million and just like clock work one set will always be a winner in every magazine. You always realise that its something amazing like 250 grand and then you have to ring a number to confirm the winning and of course give them your address so they can send the winnings or give them you bank account to deposit the winnings. All sounds cushty so far but when you see the telephone number its always a premium rate number which charges you 1,50 a minute and when you read the small print it tells you cost last about 15 minutes so basically you are setup from the moment you make the call. You will be placed on hold, or passed from one operator to another while you paying a premium rate number charge similar to calling a Sex line. Another option which I have seen prevail in England is false advertising where you get a letter in the post probably shortly after applying for a loan from some bogus company on the internet. I dont really know how many companies are then sold on your loan application but a few days after you receive a letter. The letter is usually relevant about your loan application and it actually tells you that you have been granted the loan. All you need to do is ring up a certain number obviously a premium rate number and they will process your application as there are a few more security details they need from you to process the application in whole.When you call the number they take their sweet time ensuring you are charged as much as they can for a lengthy call and eventlually they tell you that based on the information you provided, they will get you a loan from their sister company but there is a processing fee of 49,00 and they take this off a credit card. Normally you are suckered in by the prospect of getting a 20 000 loan for this little measley charge so you pay. In a few days you receive another letter from the sister company and they too want you to call and confirm using a premium rate number and the small print tells you the cost is 1.50 a minute calls last around 14 minutes so basically you paying another 20 on top of the 20 from last weeks call to their sister company and 49 for admin charges already you nearly at 100 pounds spending. If you foolishly apply for the loan you are charged a further processing fee of 49 again and if you complain are told that thats not a gurantee fee but a processing fee for the service its not a deposit to get the actually load but like a train ticket to get to the interview. It doesnt guarantee that you get the job and if you foolishly paid you are then processed and told unfortunately your credit score was too low and you cant get the loan but they will pass your details to their sister companies who may contact you if they will accept a lower credit score as each company rates the credit score differently. Sooner or later you you will get a letter from the so called sister company and the process begins all over again.Now I am looking at both scams and asking my self do people really fall for these scams. Dont you hear stories around youo and read the papers to know thta these get rich schemes are just too good to be true. Do we throw caution to the wind when we hear that we have a chance to win shed loads of cash. What Happened to people knowing that if something sounds too good to be true - It probably isnt true. warning BELLS Anyone.Have you ever been caught in a scam what have you encountered and how did you hadle it.
  5. Sorry for not updating you all earlier but I eventually managed to get a response after I went on who.is I found the registeration company infor using the old registration site which was no longer available but still registeres. At the bottom of Who.is they have related sites or sumfink like that so I clicked on one of the such sites and who.is their infor and they were owned by same person. I took a chance and wrote thema letter hoping that they would pass it on to the owner and how i was unhappy with the service and everything and i felt cheated by the sister company. I also mentioned that I was going to report the issue to ICANN and it would mean there was a possibility that ICANN may shut them down if they are having dodgy business dealings like that. (Obviously I bluffed this not sure if thats true in reality but I did say that. I said I had thoroughly gone through the ICANN code of conduct for website domain provders as I had been in contact with ICANN and was actually told to use the email they were reading the message on as I got that off ICANN and I was to send a copy of the mail to ICANN to. I gave them 48 hours to respond and in 24hours I had a response.I was given some bull story about someone breachign their security and stealing their passwords and that they thought I was responsible for it seeing as my Site had been altered to bear my address details. Which was untrue as Who Is still showed their details. By next day Who.is had no details showing as if there was no Administration info or Technicall Infor. I dont know if they did this on purpose to back up their story or it was coincidence. But they said they would not give me my domain back until they were 100% sure I hadnt tried to get the details on my domain changed. It was the best response but hey they were talkign and for me that was fine compared to silence.I explained over and over that I wasnt responsible then suddenly my domain was redirecting to a for sale or Lease page. I was told this by a friend who was just trying to log in and was asking if I was selling the domain as he wanted it cause it was a big name within our county. I emailed them asking whats happening and again they told me they were actually trying to get to the bottom of things They said they never saw my emails at all and were emailing me from a very similar address to a previous one but witl a slightly altered spelling. Without looking closely I'd never have found it lets say their email was blackcolor@mailisfake.com they were mailing me from blackcolour@mailisfake.com and they were saying they never changed address and I never wrote them as they had been using same email for over 6 years now. Lucky i kept copies of all the mail I had been sending them and I copy and pasted them thats when I realised the spelling and mentioned it.They tried pulling a fast one by say ahhhhh you see you were using wrong email thats not our problem you messed your spelling then. It was your fault not emailing to right inbox. hence I asked them notice you used to reply from that address and this tells me you are lying and covering your tracks. We exchanged meails back and forth and then they told me they would sort it out as they have realised that it was probably not me who hacked their system. I just dont understand it all.I havent had any hard proff that the site is back up but will let you know in the next few days if they go back on their word or are truth full.Thanks to everyone for the hints and advice. I trully appreciate it. I was lost without that advice cause I didnt know what to do. A bit of this and a bit of that when shaken to gether mixed and overflowing made progress for me.Thank You
  6. hahah I guess its time to give it a rest now. MIchela Jackson Died last Year I think and by now he's spirit is in heaven or reincarnated or sumfink else. But I hope he's happy whever he is and he dont have a strict dad if he was re born as another person
  7. Another confirmation on how dangerous mobile phones can be if not used in a responsible manner. A driver in Uk ran over a Bride to be as she was on her way to buy a wedding dress. She had been trying to make calls 16 times prior to the accident. meaning probably by the that time he was frustrated at not being able to connect to the person he was trying to ring on the mobile phone. they say he says he'd stoped using the mobile fone at the left turn before the impact point and the meters wer recorde as 72 metres from the said corner. It is said he was travelling at 25miles per hour and they say he had 62meters of clear visibility of the victima and could have stopped in time had his mind not be pre occupied with calls he had just been trying to make. Obviously the scientist are claiming that for the distance he drove he wasnt fully alert and this was a direxct reult of his mind wandering cause of the call he had just made. I have heard previously that they clain that for a further 16 seconds after disconnecting from a conversation on a mobile phone our minds are actually still processingt he conversation basically doing minutes on what was transfered. Meaning you mind takes on average a further 16 to chuck out the useless infor and select the crop from the chuff as to what needs to be stored or was valuable in the conversation. This is true to some degree because when we finish on the fone we do sort of play back the highlights or the trailer of the conversation we just had and at times you smile to yourself if what was said made us feel good, or laugh or be happy.So they have arrested him for dangerous driving, driving with out due care and culpible homicide and using a mobile phone while driving. I guess for him the sheets hit the fan. (Yes I know - Spelling error was actually intentional).There you have it. Mobile phones arent dangerous on their own but in the hands of irresponsible people can result in them being a dangerous gadget. I dont think its fair on the mobile to say it is Dangerous unless you are refering to the old brick mobilee fones which would double as a brick when two peopple were fighting and one pulled it out to use as a weapon during the fight. Calling Mobile Phones Dangerous is like calling alcohol Dnagerous because drunk drivers run and maim and kill innocent people at time. Its not the product thats bad. Its the irresponsible use of the product.
  8. surely, its been like years and years we got used to Xisto and now you wanna change to what sutra. You guys must be just joking right. We love the name Trpa17.com apart from google to be honest this name is the only other site name that I remeber after the first visit and thats why I returned. I have forgotten shed loads of website names but Xisto has stuck with me since day one. Apart from all that Jibberjabber just think of how much work you've put into building up the name Xisto.com it must be worth a few grand by now and obviously because the name is high traffic, it means that when you creat the new name your traffic will redirect devaluing the Xisto name. because its not like yoou have reached the user top cap or limit and now have to venture into a nuew name to catch the overfill but you are talking about starting a new name as a transfer from the old name meaning Xisto will loose 100% traffic for new sutra to be 100% I hope im not being awkward but guys we loves Xisto just the way it is thats why we come back to it, oh and also for the MyPENNIES thingy majiggy yoiu have going on there. Other wise you lot have done a brilliant job so far.Please dont change to a different name cause Xisto is lush.VIVA trap 17.com/forums
  9. the mobile phone dilemma is one that's been around since mobile phones were invented. I have heard al sorts about technology giving us caner. Mobiles phones frying our brain cells and all sorts. I mean there are immediate dangers we get from using mobile phones like lack of concentration especially while driving or in control of machinery which sometimes leads to massive danger to ourselves or those who are unfortunate enough to interact with the vehicles or machinery being operated. But when it comes to things like cancer from mobile phones i think there might be a little insy wincy tiny weeny exaggeration. Please bear in mind that this is not a fact bu just my reasoning and its possible i missed a lot of facts or am blinded by my own thinking lolNow i have heard that radiation from mobile phones can be bad, a few years back there were even theories that a hundred mobile phones all actively in calls simultaneously produced enough microwave power to boil an egg or fry one which ever he case would happen in the event of no water being present. basically for the sake of this discussion can I please say fry for lack of a better term it was said they would produce the same microwave activity to fry an egg. Using common knowledge and from what we all hear doing rounds in gossip we are led to believe that mobile phones will fry our brains and render us cancer stricken over the years. But surely there is more power leaking from microwaves and colour televisions that by now we should be all dying if that was the case. I mean we are all never that far from a radiation emitting source after all as they say we ruled by the three screens, the TV screen, Computer screen and Phone screen. All which a few years back were dangerous as the CRT screens (the old bulky TV's were said to be a cancer inducing risk and so were the old CRT computer screens.) and the mobile phone was radiation leaking so we should all be by now having a high cancer risk but reality is possibly that the leaking radiation is so minute that even if we lived to 200 we would only be beginning to start the cancer process. Which reminds me of a program i once saw on the television. there is a team is geeks who put theories to test one such theory they put to test was the 100 mobiles phones all working at the same time have the power to fry an egg so they got 2000 phones, 1000 of the the older brick types and 1000 of the newer color screen types to even out the the test. The laid a normal egg and broken egg (just the insides of the egg) in a plastic cup on a pile of phones with settings on auto answer. They had volunteers who had already pre-dialled the numbers of the other mobile phones on the ground all press the call button and within a few minutes they had all connected to the auto answer phones. they carefully laid the calls on the eggs and left them over night which meant the calls either disconnected when the credit ran out / batteries died out. I doubt it as an issue with the credit running out but more of the battery dying out as the whole science test as they called it was sponsored by one of the mobile phone companies in UK. The next day about 24 hours later they retrieved both eggs from the pile and lo and behold non of them were fried or boiled or even slightly cooked. The experiement say only lasted as long as the average battery life of a phone but it did to some extent prove that the theory that radiation in mobile fone calls wasnt that terrile. There obviousl is a little bit of it obviously but i doubt anyone will be getting their brains fried by it.
  10. does anyone still have the game called jazz jackrabbit it was DOS based but it was fun. Now the games are just too complicated obviously for the younger generations they are perfect but then what our old favourites. GAmes Like accolade (bike version and car version and games like SMash TV) they were like 2d and didnt have too much going on. I love3d the simplicity. Hey there was the game double dragon too I loved that on too.
  11. hey, guys thanks for all your advice. Just to clarify, I am not looking for a 3d Glasses type of chat. I am looking for a secondlife type of chat room. I want something where people can log in even if its just a 200 user limit that is still cool. Im not looking to start a new Secondlife but just my own little 3d virtual world. By Virtual I do not mean virtual reality as defined in the dictionary but I mean a 3d world in the computer. Basically I want something where people can log in and have an avatar (3d walking person on screen they control and they can chat by typing. But I want to it to be a room setting, preferably a night club setting or a bar setting. with places to sit and a dance floor. Maybe a little room on the side set aside for staff. I know this is doable but the problem is I have no clue where to start. It would be nice if I had software to create on line multi player games that way I would probably do it my self over some time but I was just hoping someone had already thought of this and some code was available for download on the net somewhere. My biggest hope was that someone at Xisto forums would know where i can download this script / scripts and customise them to what I want etc. I know with things like second life the world is massive and that would require shed loads of memory and security but thats not what I want I just want something simple but along the lines of second life or the now defunct lively from google. Though I must admit I never used lively I just read and heard about it. I have used Second-life though, but then the drawback with second life is that there is too much going on and i dont want my users to be able to stray too far from my Chat room maybe they can walk up and down the street but not further. and oh I would love to be able to stream music into the chat room once you are inside the building (that would be the nite club / bar lol).Anyone know if this is doable.
  12. Hey I like the way you guys are thinking. I also wanna go into podcasting. I am actually wanting to make a monday wednesday and Friday breakfast show. I need a little help as I need some good mornign jingles or sing songs, the chessey the better as those sort of creat and identity, does anyone know where I can get cute jingles which are funny to play in my podcasts. I prefer to pre record the show and edit it using either things like cool edit pro or audacity or music maker.I will probably use bogspot or mypodcast to host the pod cast but I need to have all the jingle sin place before I eveen begin to put the show together. I will also need ideas from anyone who can help oout with ideas for game shows that are radio oriented its cracks ones head to be all innovative and original but like the old english saying goes. Many Hands make light work, I believe the more ideas come from different sources and cultures the beter the content in the end.All Ideas are welcome. Hit me up thanks
  13. About Google ... Well I used Ask Jeves Once and I asked him why google was so much better lool
  14. i came across a tutorial on a site outside of Xisto didnt know idf im allowed t mention site names here so just to be safe i will not mention any names. But basically in the tutorial i read of a free 3d design software. Its called UNITY 3D and aparently its being given for free on the official website and the compnay that makes it would normally charge shed loads for it. I have downloaded a copy but unfortunately for me it says i need a 4 dimension video card or something like that it said my VGA card is only 2d i dont know id d in 2d and 4d is the perfect illustation. I just rememeber it said something about my VGA card having only 2 and the program requires 4 so there i was stuck again.I guess If anyone can google UNity 3d ver 2.6 thats the free one and is able to design a 3 Night club Room it has to be quite big like a warehouse lol with cahairs spotted along the walls for patrol to relax and have drinks and a dance floor in the middle i would also need it to have an upstairs section (Dj Lounge) that would be lush. Just next to the stage should obviously be a Djs box and if possible a Bar somewhere. OUtside should be a street and the Club Name should be Elements. I know this is a huge ask but I know that one of you may have a bit of extra time on you hands and a better PC than my old tin can and be able to help me out. I will try and copy and paste the tutorial here if moderators allow this. Any of the Moderators please let me know if this would this be ok?
  15. I cant believe Im stuck in this situation. I will take you advice and email the company that registered the domain and be completely cuteous. I hope that this will help me get my domain back and be able to conitnue the service I was providing. Thanks for all your input. I will keep you updated on whats going on maybe you will be able to see what I miss as we go on
  16. WOW. Matrix type huh. Wow. Maybe I will be the one.Lol Sony has a few ideas up their sleeve but i think they getting too carried away. Sony is the microsft one yeah? I remeber some 4 months back they were saying they had a wii type console for the Xbox 360 and instead of a controller it had an eye thats plugged in to the box and it scans the room to see what the room looks like so it ignors room objects when you do input then its says stand up and sort of scans you and then then you statr playing if its a driving game you sit down and drive an imaginary car changing gears and all and the camera picks up your moves and translates then to in game similar to the wii but with a camera not a controller. It was called Project NATAL or NAto or something like that so you can google it and see if you never got to hear bout it. But then wheres that technology right now. I havent seen it yetSony and Microsoft are going crazy trying this trying that. Good luck to them though
  17. LOL, Thats quite far fetched because screens dont emit a signal that can be read out unless of course they have hacked into your pc whilst you online and activated a remote destop viewer. but I doubt the can read stuf from your monitor. Remeber 90% of the stuff the government has you are aware of but probably are led to believe its science fiction so i'd say stay up to date with Cop dramas like CSI and Flash forward nand dear oild Jack Bauer they use pretty up to date simulations of what really being used by the goverment.and also its not so easy for the government to spy on you theres a lot of red tape involved just see the whole search warrant thing. They have to go to a judge just to get one otherwise thats illegal for them to search unless you agree for them to search.
  18. In my opinion yes. Tecnology does alienate people. Well let me say alienate physical people. Because we are now in an era were we are controlled by the 3 screens, the TV screen, Computer screen and phone Screen. Yes we have made more freiendsships on things like myspace and facebok and we cultivate those friendships and relationships over the internet but most of the time we dont even play wih our physical freinds. We'd rather play with our vortual / omnline friends and that wat we care about more and more.Most of use dont even care about tangable freinds we acan text talk to our friends on the phone all day and even if we decide to hang out with the real friends we are so stuck with the friends on the phone we spend a third of the time we hang with real friends busy texting away. Even nowadays we cant even be bother to date the old fashioned way, technology has brought about internet dating and we are all engrossed in internet dating (by all I dont literally mean all).Then we have TIVo / Sky Plus that thing where you can watch TV programmes as and when you want, you can rewind pause and record them, meaning we can now spend all day infront of the TV watching the very programmes that we used to have to wait till 1 am to watch but now instead of staying up late I just rcord it and watch during the day when I used to be playing with ROb down the raod. Then later I have update Twitter and Facebook and check email and stuff. In England Kids cant even spell correctly because they dont know the difference between txt talk and proper english. Teacher are finding more and more txt talk in childrens work eg most kids think phone is fone and they are (they're) is the same spellign as their and even more think all three can be spelt as there eg There were all sat in there car instead of Their Caror There looking at us instead of They're looking at usand Your cuming over rite now instead or you're coming over right now
  19. Firstly let me say that I have been on both sides of the track and though this doenst mean I know it all Im just saying somethings I have enoough experience with. For this statement I would Like to say maybe where you are this doesnt happen a lot but in my experience most christians I have spoken too have actually reacted quite badly in response to stuff like this. Notice I always say in my experience because I dont wanna cause anyone to stumble in their christian walk. When I say statement like I for example If I said I dont think god exists. I am not saying in your life or that mine is real gospel Im talking bout what I believe in my life and circumstances. I know most people tend to say YOU CHRISTIANS ARE LIARS BECAUSE GOD DONT EXIST or something like that. Lets not get too technicall on the exact statement but just a rough idea. This kind of talk is something which is wrong. One should speak about what is personal to them and say In my Life I dont see GOD exisitng. But then if i told many a christian that they would tell me I am a fool. This might probably be the right thing to say to me according to the bible. seeing as it says something like he that says the is no GOD is a fool or something along those lines I cant remember the exact term or phrase but do we realise that that actually telling someone that they are a fool because they dont believe GOd exists only comes out as hostility when challenged. when someone says that you are a fool according to how I was raised thats an insult and it would only bring resentment from me. Yes different people will have different understanding of statements like that but when two religions are trying to have a discussion that probably should lead to better understand of one anothers views surley there are less confrontational ways of getting this done. I believe the reason we are unbelievers is cause we trully mis understand the answers we have. because if we still understood the unswers the same way christians understood then I doubt we would have left the faith. Because to be honest I dont really know why God Loves Us. Is it because we are his children. lets assume I have this correct so far, But then here is where my problem or rather the seed of my disbelief then comes in. If he loves me because I am his child, then why am I going through the things I am say why would he let my kids all die in a car accident all at once. Yes maybe to you it might be a simple answer but to the one going through it the answer might be clouded by pain and anger and hopeless ness and that feeling of god deserting us. and telling me simply that its god pla wont cut it becuase I will wonder why GODs plan would be so horrible. Cause remember its not easy to change a christians heart. So for something to have an impact it must have been something major I shoud think. TO answer the bit where you ask I will respond and say my situation was not a 3month situation but a situation that lasted almost 5 years. I prayed, fasted, did everything that is required of me and even had my whole church praying for me for 3 of the years and I think God's decision was A No seing as you suggested that god makes the final decision. Now I then ask myself why would God take me on a wild goose chase telling me if I believe and pray and do this and that according to the word, what i ASK I WILL RECEIVE. yet at the end f the day it come down to a yes or no on his part he may as well not have wasted my time and i knew from the start that GOD might still say No after all this. MAybe if he'd done it that way my faith would not have been shaken. To be frank my faith in GOD used to be unshakeble. and before you call me a liar because the truth is at the end of the day my faith proved to be shakeable let me just remind you that in life or rather an example would be a marriage you vow till death do us part and 10 years down the line you catch them in bed with another. you may forgive and move on and stick to the vows but if it carries on happening again anad again we all know that at one point we would say I was blind but now I think it times to say enough is enough. Which is the same with what happened in my christian walk. I got to a time where I thought this isnt what I signed up for. I know i didn't become a christian to get stuff from GOd. But Hey im only human and at times just once in my life I wanted god to step in and do something supernatural that he wasnt doing for every one else eg letting me wake up alive in the morning because every other non christian including me right now is getting that same privilage. I just wanted help cause I was at the lost point I could be and I just needed a helping hand but GOd just ignored me or said NO. The lol at the end or within my posts is to ensure that people do not get too serious cause I know that there are people who are calm and collected and objective when reading posts and there are some who take things a bit too serious or personally as if the post if a direct affliction to them. The lol is just my way if saying relax we just talking Im not getting upset and I still am smiling so please dont get to engrossed emotionally into the whole discussion or my point of view. I hope you can understand where Im coming from because when I post here I dont mean to offend I just say my opinion hoping other people can objectively read while distancing their emotiions and answer wiuthout getting frustrated as to why the heck dont i get the point if you know what I mean. Hope this clarifies things. I am not laughing at the religion just tryna say chill. One thing I grew up hearing from my mum was this spoonerism (hopefully i used the right word I know there another word I think tougne twisters but i cant remeber which is correct) SHe used to say Those who do not know, Do not know that they do not know. Like you ask How will I get mercy if I havent done anything wrong. I beleieve if I never where I was going wrong in my Chjristian faith and where I went wrong I wouldn't have had my faith Shaken. I dont ask the questions I ask because I am looking to argue I ask and say what I say because I am still searching for an answer and I dont wanna waste my time searching for an answer in GOD cause GOD doesnt speak back to me and he never did I had to find answers in the bible etc. So thats why I ask like in formum and through discussions because Im hoping I will get an answer that will open up my eyes without any doubt. Cause We dont really have any proof that CHristianity is the one true religion. We base everythign on TRusting GOd to be right or something like that. So all Im trying to achieve is make sure I am not wasting my time following a religion that turns out to be a waste of time. So please don't assume my eyes will never be opend because I maybe angry that God didnt come through for me whe I thought I needed him most that doesnt mean I dont wanna have anythign to do with GOd again it just means I need answers as to why? I dont know if i did the Quoting thing Correctly, I have never done it before so please bear with me if I did it wrongly.
  20. Wow. Thats all I can say right now. I have heard all these explanations and accusations but today. Today - You made a very open and seemiingly true and non complicated answer. I have never seen such wisdom as you have show today when you answered this question and I trully appreciate it. I just wish there were more people like you in life to explain faith and chrisitianity it would probably be so much easier to believe and be a christian (or any other religion. It makes perfect sense when you say Tongues were meant to be like the spirit taking control of you mouth and say you only ever speak English you are around people from France you open your mouth to preach and out can the gospel in fluent french and that way the french will understand the word you are preaching and hence be saved. This is a so much more practical answer to the Tongues thing and I think I have gained more understanding because of this post then my whole life going to church and never trully understanding what Tongues really were or what they were menat to achieve. Thank you for the post and your patience in explaining this.You rock
  21. Another thing we hav to take into account is that while some of the hosting companies are english websites that doesnt mean they are English based as in based in USa and England. They could be based in CHina and Japan where it is legal to actually exagerate and over sell. Similarly when you buy a phone on a chinese based sales point they will tell you it has 10Gig memory and 3G with a 12 Meg CamerA AND ON RECIEVING it you will find that Its had a cemera that is 2,5 meg only that the chip was made by a comany called Twelve Meg, and the The phone is the 3rd Generation model hence the term 3g.So be carefully. Another thing is trully most companies are just doing what many companies around the world do. You buy a Bugati Veyron the Speedometer will read max speed 320Km and hour but at its fastest the car will drive at 180km and hour and if you query they will say we didnt think you'd actually go that fast. I mean in England we get Mobile phone deals which say 35 pounds a month get free texts and unlimited calls and internet browsing but whne you read the small print it says fair Usage Policy. How can it be unlimited if you have a fair usage policy. Because maybe the only reason you are getting that contract is because you dont wanna use the phone sparingly. Maybe your girlfriend is moving to a different town and the two of you will be on the phone for hours on end who knows. Then again usually people dont question the overselling because it looks impressive on paper and is prestigous when telling freineds lol
  22. I have a major problem. I have had a site for two years and Sudeenly the person I bought it via has gone awol. I dont know if they closed down during the recession or what but I have been trying to email and call the number they had and get through to no one. All the email I send bounce back after a few hours. I even went a step further and used the email they have registered on Who.is but no joy. Does anyone have any idea how I can recover my site. Unfortunately I never got the details to log in and change my dns servers because when I bought the domain I actually paid 10 pounds extra because on of their options was that if you choose to pay extra they will give you all this extra support, like backing up your site every week, ensuring that your site would be highly indexed on Google. Back THen I had no clue about domains and website design so I had taken this option because I thought I needed all the help I can get and to be honest they were always helping me and sorting out any problems I encountered but then suddenly they went dead last september. I assumed seeing as they were a small company they probabaly were travelling or on holiday but by mid november i was starting to get worried. and wierdly enough my email to them which earlier on when I email I would get a response in 24hours and a reaction as in actioning of my request would have happened with in 24hours now the emails started coming back saying the address didnt exist. I have tried getting their phone number and getting any contact details available on the net but still I am geting no joy. At some point I went of FAcebook cause I rememebered once talking to the CEO on facebook but his facebook was deactivated and so was his skype. Subsequent emails have all returned to my inbox citing that the email doesnt exist.Unfortunately the reason I wanted this transfer is because I changed hosting companies and I am now with Trap 17 and the site domain still points to my old hosting company and I want it to point to my new dns servers. I had backed up all my files manually and have uploaded them to my Trap 17 account but now I cant access the domain to change the servers to point the right place and my old host has since eactivated and deleted my account meaning my site now goes to google not found.I have worked so hard to promote and make the site grow and now Im stuck in a rut I hate it cause Im so help less. Wierdly enough I did email them in August saying I wanted the passwords to my account and they had said thats fine we will email them to you in next few hours and I didnt get anything I didnt see any rush so I had given them time to send me and when I started emailing them again a month later i statred to get bounced back email. Anyone know how I can sort this out. My domain is a dot com domain How hard is it to sort this out. Has anyone had any experience with this problem. How did you solve it?
  23. wow, i cant believe that the 3d world chat is not yet open source (in this case Im hopibt that i used the term open source corectly). I would have expected that 3 years since I found out about second life 3d world, there would at least be simple downloadable scripts to use for my website. I have minimal knowledge of Flash and I dont see how I can possibly create a 3d Chat room on my own. I wish there was a forum or tutorial for newbies to do this. Or maybe if all the good programmers on Trap 17 could work to gether and come up with something lol. that would be really brilliant but I doubt if its doable. I just hope I can get a tutorial that will help me out. Anyone who has a link please hook me up.I'd love to et this asap so I stop searching and worrying. I just hate it when you have an idea but can do nothing about it cause you dont have the know how or the resources. It becomes a nag in your brain - well thats been what happens in my case.

  25. please dont read this if you are easily upset or take offence because This is something i strongly feel and i believe christians arent as open minded or as loving thy neighbour as their religion teaches. Christians are the best religion in terms of the principles and law laid down by the word of God but I think they tend to be strange people themselves. When you go to school you go to learn and as a teacher you then prepare to be questioned by students from all angles because one student can have seen a similar thing being explained differently elsewhere and need clarification but with christians they tend to wanna teach with out any questions except one they have prepared for, If you raise a valid question with evidence as to why you think their belief or their teaching/ preaching is wrong they get very defensive and accusing suddenly is as if you are the devil incarnate or demon possessed and suddenly its a spirituall war and they hammer at you and get very angry. Why cant they validate and explain things so we can see what they are teaching clearly as opposed to getting all weird and angry. Basically so far I see in this topic someone says God cares and nother says he doesn't and everyone suddenly lays into the one who isnt a believer saying this and that. None of you have really said how and why he cares or tried to explain things with out complicating the situation. WHat you gus need to realise is that people don't just become anti christian for no reason there is probably an issue that happened in life to suggest GOd Dont really care and by being accusinga nd hostile you ain't doing no good but just proving that Christianity is a selfish religion that says if you dare question me YOU are risking my Wrath how different is that from a president who is a dictator like Mugabe or Saddam. Only that Christians dont have the power to get rid of you but I bet if christians had that power there would be alot of people who by now would have been got rid off. I know this is probably completely off topic but all Im tryna do is help because I have seen this problem happening everywhere. I am one of those people who believe God doesn't give a Damn, maybe for you he cares but not for me and oviously im not the only who feels this way because I do look at my own life i was Christian for 20 years and was those serious christians who believed gods word and lived a clean life but there came a time when a miracle was needed in my life and trust me I had more faith then a mustard seed or the highest mountain but did god come through. No. I wondered why and ofcourse christians will say you didnt have faith and yes this is just a way for justifying Gods failure's by blaming myself yet be honest with yourselves when things are hard you have more faith than the pope (if i can use him as an example - this is figuratively so dont start saying the pope is this or that cause its just a way of saying as the holliest person known whoever he or she is be it Jesus Himself. ) The bible says if you have faith the size of a mustard seed you'd move mountains but everytime things dont work out when GOD is supposed to step in and provide a miracle its said you didnt have enough faith. What a Crock of Shite lolAnother excuse is that God has a plan, what plan?? that those who believe him should be the lowest of the lowest. Yes ther are chrisitans all over the world but I dont know about you but No Community is more god fearing than the Afrcan community. Go to SOuthern Africa and see how much chrisitans they are but loook around you they are third worl countries with war and hunger and famine. If god is trully a king why does he let them suffer and die like dogs in war a stuff. I think we have a wrong impression of what GOD is if he even exists but then I dont say this because I want to convince you to stop believeing but Im saying it cause that my opinion based on my experience and as christians with the calling to teach. DOnt get irate and slander or have a go at me. Help me see sence not with ambiguous statements that we so often hear (GOD has a masterplan). If you have no clue better say so than to be vague lol. As TEachers in Christs Kingdom the bible says God will give you wisdom so heres where you should use that wisdom to explain things to those of us who dont trully believe that GOD doesnt care, just like how scientists will give evidence as to why they believe dinosaurs existed they put more effort that Christians into proving what they say. Dont tell us about a freind of your pastors who stood up and rose from the dead because your pastor couold have lied I would love to hear about your own situations which prove GOD trully cares. just remeber not to sin by lying so you convince me because what shall it profit a man to gain the world and loose his own soul. What we are looking for is to have our eyes opened so we see his mercy and care if it exisits not to be castrated and accused of being evil or bad so we start to feel we have to conform otherwise we will be labelled this and that by christians.DOes that make any sense?
