  1. If there is possibility then you guys can add the game trading thingy. That'll give the guys a certralzed place to look for games and get the one they want cheap from the other people or they may even trade the games.This will prolly be a very good addition to the website.
  2. Been using the hide code for a long time. This is mostly on forum that share media and warez and other stuff. A great bbcode if i say so myself. But there is one problem, the explanation you made was good but the example you set for the hide code , dunno if im misinterpreting it or something but, it doesn't show up as a hide code. The hide code i used when i was on different forums, I used the simple versions. Hidden the text here . can you please elaborate on the hide code used on this forum please?

    The N95

    Over here at my place the nokia has made it's market here. The resell value is very great and to be honest, I find the nokia set to be great as compared to iphone.. the only reason is the battery and bluetooth part.
  4. Lucid dreaming, though the concept sounding very extra ordinary and catchy, I would not dvelve in it until I am in the clear aof any side effects of it. Controlling your dreams and what you do in it and the Out of body experience that you may have may be really fascinating but considering what Radioactive said a few pages back, that once you are very much into the dreams part, You may become really addicted to it and may be wanting to go to the dream state again affecting your real world. Theres another thing about sleep paralysis and as Voidless Shadows mentioned that he had it once or something. I may advise the people that though very much fascinating, please check all the possibilities of it affecting you before trying it. Don't do it just for kicks and fun. It may be hazardous to you.
  5. People may not believe in global warming and greehouse effects but guys lets face it. Even if he neglect the temperature readings of the past years, we can see that the glaciers that are slowly melting, the rise in the sea level and the temperature rise in the artic reigon kind of all points in the direction that global warming or temperature rise is happening. Even if we may not believe in it, the least we can do is do small things to counter it like slow down breathing :XD:.Anyways, nice write about the greenhouse effect zachwyler. it revised my knowledge about the greenhouse effect. kind of renewd it as i forgot all about that. lol.
  6. When it comes to computers, we can never be too sure about when there will be a bug or not and how it will affect us. When I was a kid i learned about the Y2k bug. Bad things would happen when the bug time comes and bla bla bla.. I even saw clips of drills on CNN about the bug and the measures the people were taking to rectify/timely coordinate the with the immediate effects of the big. I saw computers being released with y2k certified logos and nothing happened. I doubt that anything will happen in this scenario too. Besides we've got around 10 years to do something about it. Whats there to loose. But then again we might never know that when we turn our backs to some issue that is small in nature turns out to be a monstrousity and kills us all :XD: a little exagerating here..lol
  7. On reading the topic I thought that i've seen that word somewhere in the maths part but can't really recall if that was the corrent spelling. Well the second post clears the work spelling out. I kind of learned about that wayyyyy back when i was in school. Funny google being realted to the number thingy. By the way what is the realy story behind the name? anyone knows about it?
  8. This might sound nooby but i was thinking that since I may want to apply for the domain name, I need to keep a check on my credits. But im kind of facing this confusion. Since im turned to hosted, my hosting credit part now shows in days of inactivity i can have. Is that number the same as credits? and I have to get 280 days to apply for the domain plan? If not then where are the credits part mentioned? Thanks in advance for clarification.
  9. A very informative topic about turbochargers. the good thing about this topic is that it has sources and quotes from different aspect and kind of clears everything off in the turbo chargers aspect.There is one question though i have in this regard. Do they turbo chargers have a limit of specific engines they can be put on or they can be used with any type of cars. For instance I have a 1000cc cars and a 800cc car, they both operate on petrol or gasoline you may put it. is there by any chace i can put Turbo chargers in them.Also one more thing. Can turbo chargers work in choesion with NOS. There was also something mentioned about a scoop in the hood cutting the aerodynamics but an old fashioned Turbo charger thingy, if im correct. then can you please elaborate on that?
  10. Funny we learned that the cruel rulers made the labourers carry the load and then hoist all the big rocks and shape'em in the form of a pyramid. This kinda explain it all. Though i read the all the concepts that were there, i was still unsure at the capacity in which the work was done. It's definately the unlearn thing we have to do now lol.Lets see what the final details are like. The part about making rooms still remain a mystery though.Just think about the method they used being used nowadays.. they can be very helpful for the environmental health. less dissipation of CO2 in the air and more robust structures built. The matter they used to make the pyriamids as told in the review is easily available and can be used to make the building matter of nowadays buildings.
  11. Seems like you've been through trying time eh. One hell of a journey you've had with the server. I am glad you finally made it though.The best thing that I like of the forum is that it give the community feel to it. People really participate and keep the forums running rather than a dull place. they do it out getting their hosts running or for the sense belonging here but either way it's really great. Keep up the good work and hope 'we' prosper more in future.
  12. I searched the FAQ's and the forum but didn't find anything that may answer this query so I am posting it here so other having this problem may benefit from it here.When I was creating the account I found out that using special case character in the passwords was not allowed when creating the hosting account. I didn't use any of the special case character in my hosting account but the system was generating invalid username and password for the forum too.Since special case characters and Alpha-numeric boats high security in passwords I use them on the forums too. When I changed my forum account password to, without a special case character, It accepted my forum username and the password and created the account.There might be other few people who might be facing the same problem as mine so if there are any, please moderators' include this in the FAQ or someplace where the members can take this into account and not face this problem.
  13. Well i got to know about method of changing the hard drive icon, thought i should share it with you guys. Well he goes. First what you have to do is find Icon files that you may want to put on your hard drive. These files are basically of ".ico" extension so a simple search for "*.ico" (remove the "" when searching) in you computer will generate results with various icons you can use. You can also create new icons with an icon editor. I use the 'Easy Icon Maker' available from this website http://www.icon-maker.com/ Well now assuming that you've got your icon file, what you need to do is place the icon file in the main directory of the hard drive of which you wish to change the icon of or in any other folder. I for example put it in a folder named autorun. After you've place the icon, you need to create a file telling the computer to show the icon on the hard drive rather than the default icon. Open a new notepad instance and type the following lines. [autorun]icon=\autorun\icon.ico and save the file as " autorun.inf " in the main directory of the drive. Now saving the file as an inf file may be tricky as the default save type of notepad is .txt , heres what you've gotta do to save the file with the required extension. When you are saving the file, the save dialog box appeard where you type the filename and select the location to save the file. Now below the space where you type your filename is the "save as type" text box. Use the drop down and select "All files". After you've done that, type the filename as " autorun.inf" and save the file in the main directory of the hard drive where you've placed the icon. Restart your system and viola. Your hard Drive icon has been changed. NOTE:: This also goes the same for CD/DVD's you're burning. use the same method and you can have classy icons on your CD/DVD's.
  14. I basically use the IBM Thinkpad series and the recent addition the laptops is the T60 series that'll come in that much amount. They have a decent graphic card and decent space with a gig of ram so i think it'll do with most of the requirements that you posted. check out their specs and see if you like it. I would definately recommend IBM thinkpad series to anyone thinking of buying a laptop. they are very good IMO.
  15. I have sometimes heard about people having issues with paypal but compared to the satisfies customers they have i doubt the people would be considered negligible.The problem I have with paypal is of a different nature. My country name is not listed in their list of countries and thats what really pisses me off. I tried emailing them and what I recieve in return is that they are asking me to login to me account and then send a request/question. How am i supposed to login when I cannot even create an account. beats me but that is the main reason I don't really like paypal.
  16. I don't know but this is the first website that doesn't stop users to post about their competition and recommend it. This is someting that i really like about this forum. free speech for all.
  17. Agreeing with alex a few posts up, people are prone to being used to new technologies that when sometimes they are to revert back, it becomes really painfull for them. This technology that IBM has invented really is a remarkable innovation but there are times when i think that whats the need of a techonology this fast when the times difference is not that big. My uncle uses this internet speed where he download a GB in minutes.Technology has become this much fast that the people are living a fast life. want their work done fast and now have no time for others and little pleasures in life..Damn im getting out of topic here eh.By the way.. i heard that IBM was about to produce a processor that was 500 GHz.. i remember reading something about it a while back.. anyone have any idea what happened to that?
  18. Aww guys.. people have now created a hype about this edition of bill gates. Lol.. basically i did get my hands on this version when i was instaling a fresh windows in my friends computers. This bill gates edition was first seen by me in the times of windows 98. The came the version in Windows Me and others. Basically what the bill gates edition did, to my best knowledge was the create an unattended installation of the windows. Nothing was to be done except starting the setup. The key and other things were done automatically by default values and since unattended installation was not that much common here, they gave it the name of bill gates edition to market the cd's more and get more buyers out of it. we don't really have normal windows xp media kits bought from the microsoft. We mostly have botlegged cd's here at the cost of less than a dollar here per cd and around a dollar per dvd regardless the matter in it.
  19. About time something like this has happened. MAC being closed based operating system now able to be installed on the intel architecture will def increase the amount of people using MAC. I myself was not a fan of MAC but used it once or twice and have to agree that it is one heck of an operating system with very good functionality and features. I'll definately try it and prolly might post my experience on the forum too. One question I may raise here is that are there any driver issues on the platform as to my best knowledge, hardware vendors still not support the MAC architecture in their driver lists.
  20. I found about this project long time ago and was very glad that something is being done about the povert stricken people and helping them to better educate and increase the literacy rate of the people. The price increase is a little annyoing concerning that 100 USD still might be a little high price for people to pay, the increase in the price may have rendered this laptop out of reach of certain people in buying capability before. But I have to agree with FolkRockFan and Renaissance that of all the people they are tageting the laptop for, the poeple who can't even read less know english as a language, this will be one big job for the people to get them accustomed to the new gadget and thinking on the different problems with the countries, they have bigger problems to solve that just the literacy part. People dying, lack of food and job, people selling their children and what not. I doubt that this little gadget will have a great impact in that reigon too. But in the parts of world where there are lesser problem this will be a great feato to achieve increasing the literacy rate and giving the people a chace to have a better educated life in the world.
  21. Well I use Windows Live Messneger and Windows Live Mail as my email. The time when i started using internet, hotmail was the one that was widely used and most of my friends here were using it. I obviously had to use it to be on the same medium. I tried using gmail and yahoo email beta and no offense they are better but hotmail has made it's market here though yahoo messenger is widely used for voice chat but I doubt in my country there wont be many who would be without a Hotmail/Msn messenger account here actively using it.
  22. The idea that technobot gave is really awesome but it depends on what type of business you are planning to run. Two of my pals started their business and though they tried to limit their expenses, they didn't do it on the expense of the quality of the stuff they got. I mean face it. You get a folder for 0.5 $ and the other one for 0.1$. There has to be some difference in the quality. In the long run you may have to buy the folder again and again which accumulated the cost rises to the one of 0.5$ so why not buy one that a little costly but has more chance of being retained that the cheap ones. Well that was not the point I was trying to prove. What I was trying to tell was that for example you run a business where you need to engage with client in your office and lets face it if you try to limit your expense and try to get cheaper stuff on the expense of quality, the client will notice it and may not consider as they may think that the quality of service you may provide may be not up to par. Presnentation is all my friend. It is the initital investment that may boost your business. Even if you don't have a strong back but have a good presentation, you may render more client than others.BUT if you are operating a business that doesn't involve interaction with the client at your premises then it doesn't really matter what you spend your money on and how you do it. It wont really have any effect on your business.Thus my friends, the tip tehnobot provided is very good but in certain circumtases it doesn't apply.
  23. Well I don't believe it. My religion, Islam though says that there are spirits and ghosts (aimless spirits) and demons but I never heard of a cursed object during my entirety. I will dvelve deeper for this but to this point. I flat out disagree.
  24. Needled.. tell me about it.. Darn being the occasional sick guy i was during my hepatits during 8th grade.. wheven i was needled for a doze fo medicine or for taking blood out of me, it left me so numb that sometimes it was really hard to concentrate. dizzyness and stuff.. it usually subsided but that small phase of time really was hard and left me with an uneasiness with needles.Never had a problem with being pricked though.. just the reaction it had on me. true like renaissance said that there are two type but thanks god i mostly got the artist types.Can you elaborate about your condition Renaissance?
  25. Being a muslim I've got a different approach to life after death. What our religion teaches us is that when a person dies the soul goes back to it's creator waiting for the end of times, the judgement day.Basically what we believe is that the soul goes to 'Aalam-e-Barziq', I can't recall the english translation of this word (generally termed as the soul being lifted to the sky). The body of the person remains there decaying and rotting but the persons soul will be given privilages on the basis of his/her deeds like living in the essence of heaven or hell till the judgement day comes and all the souls are brought forth to be justified.I perhaps am not able to properly explain what i wanted to but this is what i think the essence of what becomes to people when they die.
