Has Anyone Bought The Video iPod ? So should you buy one?
iGuest replied to iGuest's topic in Science and Technology
Well, I think it depends on how much you would use it. If you're going to get tired of it after a couple of weeks, then it's not worth all that money. If you think you're going to use it every day, all the time, then a video iPod might be worth the money. But from what I've heard, the video iPod isn't all that great.I've heard it can't do anything special other than play vidoes, and that there aren't very many special features. I have an iPod nano, and that suits me just fine. No need to get into all the fancy-shmancy stuff. The iPod nano works fine, and it costs a lot less than a video iPod. -
Well, that's not SUCH a big deal. I think it's kind of an honor to get your own work published on the web. Then again, I've never submitted anything to YouTube, I just watch the videos. I guess if it was MY work, I would feel differently. I am a total attention-seeker, and I would HATE it if someone else got credit for what I did. So maybe the people who donate their videos to YouTube do get some kind of compensation. It's only fair. But I wouldn't know.

Google's World Domination! Possible?
iGuest replied to salempc's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I really don't think Google is taking over the world. It's definatly Yahoo we should be worried about. Google is cool, I just don't like Yahoo for some reason, can't seem to think why. -
I know what you mean. I think the Wii is really gimmicky, and will get old really fast. I mean, I think it would be fun to try out, but get boring really quickly. Like DDR (dance dance revolution). Every time I went go to the movies, I get this really strong urge to play the DDR there. But I figure, I should just wait, I can play when I get home. But when I get home, I don't really feel like playing anymore. I think a Wii would be just like that. you see everyone taking a test drive at the mall, and you want to play too. But then the urge to play will just fade away.The playstation is okay, but I like the gamecube more. Sure the PS3 has really nice graphics, but I can't really tell. I don't think I ever could tell, unless I compared them side-by-side or something. Then again, I havn't played my PS3 very much, so maybe I can't see the difference because my eyes are untrained.

Nano Technology has entered the machine level
iGuest replied to mtnbluet's topic in Websites and Web Designing
The nano technology ideas totally rock. I figure, one day we ca all load our iTunes into our own brains, and we'll just have to think the music to get it to start playing. Ha, try and catch me listening to my music in class NOW... -
I remember Oregon Trail! Oh, that was kind of fun. I also played this game, Perfection. You had to get all the little pieces in the correct slots before time ran out, or the whole game blew up on you (not much, just a big enough pop to make all the little pieces jump out at me, and scare the witts out of my five year old self).
-
Well... I haven't achieved anything really special as far as gaming goes, but I achieved one of my goals. I don't know if you've heard of Pikmin? It's for gamecube. I used to reallly stink at that game, but I started playing more and more often and I finally beat the game! I know it's really sad, but... I did feel pretty proud of myself, proud enough to forget how many calories are in three celebratory bags of popcorn.So, yeah, that was a teensy mistake.
-
I agree. I wouldn't go so far to say that they are worthless, but I really don't think they are worth it. Sure, their cheaper than normal iPods and iPod nanos, but I found a way around that. If you REALLY need an iPod, save your allowance for an extra couple of months and get a normal iPod, or maybe a nano. I think the shuflle is a little cheesey, but not completely pathetic.

Well, I collect the cards (those things will be worth MILLIONS one day, I just know it!). I don't actually play the card game, though. The gameboy game is something I play on and off. I wont even think about it for three months, and then I'll get all obsessive for a couple of weeks. It goes from nothing, to a BIG DEAL in nothing flat. And then back again. I'll occasionally play one of the Gamecube games for pokemon, but not as often- or as obseessively -as the gameboy game.

The Meaning Of Life An philosophy discussion
iGuest replied to hast-webben's topic in General Discussion
I think there are three main reasons for life, not just one. The first is to prove we are not God, and we won't ever be. The second is so that we can prove we deserve to live in heaven, prove it in how we treat others. And the third is to help up appreciate heaven a little more. If we just got in, no questions asked, then it would seem so... average. We have to live life so we may know suffering, so that when we escape suffering, it is meaningful to us.But that is just my opinion. I mean no insult to other people or religions whose beliefs differ from mine. -
I'm not sure. Maybe you had a dozen other things loading at the same time, and it was too much for your computer to handle. That happens to my computer all the time, it can't really handle heavy workloads (another reason I prefer the laptop).But if Google isn't working for you, try Yahoo, or Excite, or Dogpile, or something like that. Or just forget about it and try again later.

I have a laptop, and it's way cooler than a normal computer. You can move it around, and take it on long car trips and plane rides. Laptops are more mobile and, in general, look more modern. My laptop also has a lot of storage space. It's a kind of old version, but it can still hold all my Sims games and all my iTunes files (trust me, that requires a LOT of space.)

Hey! I know that one! I used to think that it wasn't that great, when my grandpa first told me about it, but then my math teacher started assigning them for homework, and I was, like, one of five in the class to understand them! So yeah, they are kind of cool!
-
I may be a weak-minded fool, but I like Pikmin, for Gamecube. It's a fairly simple game. You've crashlanded on an alien planet, and you must find all your ship's missing parts before your life support systems fail. Any of you guys know that one?

At first I thank you for giving me such a valuable feedback. I will try to change the layout of my site . I am only 16 yrs old .So I am busy with my studies and this is like a entertainment for me during holidays I am not well versed in other methods of web creation than frontpage and I have only a little knowledge about HTML . Once for all thanks for your feedback

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>Having this in the first line of the document forces Internet Explorer into "quirks" mode and the page rendering is unpredictable, so I would drop that line from the document. The page will still validate without the xml version line on the page. It is a glitch in IE 6 and IE7. (surprise!!!)

Installing Apache Web Server on Windows XP This article deals with installing Apache Web Server on Windows XP. This guide is easy to follow, for everyone to make use of it and it will help you have your very own personal web server for local web designing and development. Out of the numerous web servers on the internet, none of them prevail as the open source Apache web server does, the majority of all web servers out there run on Apache. This should make perfect sense to why I chose to use this server, because I want to familiarise you with the most widely used web server. To get ourselves up and running quickly, we will be using the easy to install distribution known as XAMPP to ease our troubles. I could show you a step by step basis, of installing each component but because this is primarily aimed at beginners but suitable for everyone to use, we needed an easy way to do this. If you are familiar with XAMPP then you may not need this guide, since all I do is outline how to install it and later on if people still have problems, I would like to help them out in this thread, so if you do have problems with my steps and something isn't going right for you then ask in here and I'll try to help you out. Many people know from their own experience that it is not easy to install an Apache web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and PERL. XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and PERL as well as some other programs that provide more features you can take advantage of. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use it - just download, extract and start. Please Note: XAMPP is configured with all features turned on, From a security point of view, this default configuration is not secure enough for a live production environment. Do not run XAMPP for this type of environment. (Unless you know how to configure it correctly) What You Will Need [tabl] ProductVersionSizeDownloadXAMPP Windows [basic package]1.5.532.9MBInstaller[/tabl] What You Need to Do Start off by downloading the XAMPP installer and save it to your Desktop or a location that will be easily accessible to you. We will be using the desktop for this tutorial. For the latest version of XAMPP you should check out the XAMPP for Windows website for a more uptodate version. Getting Started I will now run through the installation process with you, I am providing images to illustrate the steps, but remember things may look different for you since not everyone's computer is exactly alike. Now that we have downloaded the XAMPP installer, we run the program by using the left mouse button and double clicking on the icon for xampp-win32-1.5.5-installer.exe, this will start verifying the file integrity, if the download is corrupted this will let you know and you should re-download the file again. It will then present us with the Installer Language dialog box. I will be using English, if you use another language then see if they have your language there but this tutorial will remain with the English version. Next up you will be presented with the welcome screen which starts off the Setup Wizard that will guide you through the installation, I'm just trying to give you a sense of what's going on but you can ignore me and follow the Wizard if you're comfortable, but if things go wrong, you can check back or ask here. To save me repeating what it says though, please be sure to read it as XAMPP does make this quite easy to install. After clicking on Next you are now presented with the install location screen which is the location you'll pick, that you would like XAMPP to be installed at, the default location is C:\Program Files\. Due to my computer configuration, I'll be using E:\Program Files\ which is where I store all my programs, but you should have no problems leaving it as default. After clicking on next, another screen appears, this time it's the XAMPP Options, the default does not automatically run Apache and MySQL on start up, so we should change it so that it does, unless you are comfortable with starting it manually. If you aren't comfortable, then check Install Apache as service and Install MySQL as service. After you click install, it starts installing XAMPP by extracting the files to the location you picked for installation. This could take a while depending on your system specifications, so why not make yourself something to eat, or have a cup of your favorite beverage. If you made it this far, then you should celebrate. Just be patient while it is installing. Do not be alarmed if more Windows pop up during this process, this is part of the installation routine for installing PHP. XAMPP should now be installed and we can leave the Setup Wizard. The final steps installs the services, to make sure that Apache and all the features are installed correctly and work, during this stage you may see more pop ups, this is to be expected. If running Windows Firewall or any other firewall, you may receive a Windows Security Alert/Warning about it wanting to block Apache, just click on Keep Blocking or Deny, or whatever allows your firewall to stop it allowing access over the Internet. We should now be notified that the services installed correctly. We are finally finished, another dialog box appears congratulating us. We are then asked if we would like to start the XAMPP Control Panel, and Yes we do. The XAMPP Control Panel allows us to control which services we want running, the location we installed XAMPP. The important part is what we have running though. We should have Apache and MySQL running, if you think you need FileZilla (FTP server) or Mercury (Mail Transport Agent, like sendmail) then you can start them through this control panel. You can either exit or left click in the taskbar system tray (near the clock iun the corner) the XAMPP icon to minimise the control panel to the tray. To test if everything is installed, we now open up our web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc) and type in the address bar LOCALHOST/ and we should be presented with the XAMPP splash screen, select your language. Explore around this area, familiarise yourself with everything presented here, your own personal web server is now installed. I wish I could talk more about this area but to not throw you in the deep end yet, I should show you how to test your own pages out first. Lets test it I want you to open up notepad, inside I want you to type or copy and paste this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ xmlns="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>My Index Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>My Index Page</h1> <?php echo '<p>This is my index page test.</p>'; ?> </body></html>Save this file as index.php inside C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\ and then try LOCALHOST/ again in your web browser to see if it works. This should be a simple HTML page that has one heading and a paragraph that is created by PHP, this should show PHP is working fine. To get back to the XAMPP page, you will now be required to type LOCALHOST/xampp/ in your web browser. The End, Well Done Now you have your very own web server installed and can begin working on your own web site locally. Thank you all for reading. MC P.S. I needed hosting credits.

I have now conducted a few tests on my router and am led to believe if you are in an area someone elses router and dont have permission, you can hack the router, find out all their website history and view current connections. If you a WEP key installed on your router, this is the problem. Remove it and use another security method, WEP is hackable and can allow users through quite easily, i disallowed my laptop from router, then used certain software to generate the WEP, got on then used Internet Tracking tools. It's so simple, people can Hack your router! use WPA or authorised connections only. keep your router password around 8 letters with letters CAPITALS also.See a big white van across the road? that could be the hacker ;)Simon.

phpBB avatar_path PHP Code Execution Vulnerability

A month a go, i downloaded the Beta of Vista and spotted 37 bugs and reported them all.Vista Review:Vista is a great new package for an OS. It has so many new features, some i didn't expect. It has changed dramatically also. the 3D look, it looks good to your home PC, but at work i can see it getting annoying. The 3D screens of IE, are so annoying i looked straight away for a way to turn it off. The Control Panel, it's much easier to use and looks stylish, easy for a newbie if they're new to PCs or Windows. There are many more features im yet to look properly though, will keep you up-to-date.Simon.
