  1. It's a pretty fun game and all. Love the realism and sorts inside the game. The weapons are pretty fun at its best too. I think there's only a few things missing in that game that's all. It does blow Medal of Honor out, but it's just that little that that's missing to enjoy it to its fullest. Great game overall though, I give it an 8.5
  2. I take it this is an internal PCI DSL modem?So computer A acts as the Gateway, has the modem connected and is linked to Computer B via a crossover cable.I'm confused as to what you tried doing with Computer B, it sounds like you were trying to set up ICS on this too, which makes me believe this modem is actually external and possibly USB?So in this scenario, there's really is no Host but more the effect that whichever computer is on at the time will receive the modem and then if the other computer comes on, it too would like access.I think what you're missing out of this picture is DHCP, because obviously the gateway will change to whichever computer is hosting the modem, there's tools that can toggle switching, etc, you'll have to search for those, but DHCP may save you the effort.To be honest, I don't like USB or Internal modems and ICS. You end up having more problems than what it's worth, which is why I always suggest to my clients that paying a few dollars extra will save me charging for fixing their problems.If you want to add another computer, I do suggest getting a hub, maybe a 5 port hub for around $30 would do you, I would also suggest maybe getting an ethernet router for your DSL, it offers slightly better protection and would eliminate using resources of your computer to act as hosts but it's not essential, as long as you learn how to solve the problems you get.Cheers,MC
  3. Thanks for your queries. Let us first of tell you what sitemap is. A sitemap is a file which stores links to all the webpages of your website in a hierarchical form. Advantages of using sitemap. A sitemap helps in two ways: It gives your visitors an easier way of finding the pages of your website. Above all, it tells the search engine robots to crawl the webpages listed in the sitemap. It also provides the Search Engines a number of valuable information regarding your webpages like : 1. The Last modified date i.e. When the very page was modified last time 2. The Change Frequency i.e. The frequency at which contents of the very webpage changes 3. Priority i.e. The priority of this URL relative to other URLs on your site. The Sitemap Protocol format consists of XML tags. All data values in a Sitemap must be entity-escaped. The file itself must be UTF-8 encoded. Sample Sitemap A sample Sitemap that contains just one URL and uses all optional tags is shown below. <urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; xsi:schemaLocation="https://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/ [url="https://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84p.xsd; <url> <loc>http://ww38.yoursite.com/; <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod> <changefreq>monthly</changefreq> <priority>0.8</priority> </url> </urlset> gSiteCrawler is a sitemap generator that creates the sitemap for your website as specified in the Google Sitemap Protocol. It also has different other interesting features which are particularly helpful for the webmasters. Now comes the biggest question, i.e., effect of sitemap in Google ranking, and it may be noted that a sitemap has no effect so far as Google PageRank is concerned. The age-old Google PageRank mechanism is still the sole deciding factor so far as your site's indexing is concerned. A sitemap only helps the crawler to crawl different webpages in your website in a better way. Why do we incorporate a sitemap then? So far as I have seen, opening a Google Sitemaps Account and submitting your sitemap url therein, will give you a chance to view the statistics of your webpages, errors, dead links and so many other factors that affect your page ranking. Above all, once added, the BOT will start crawling your site more frequently. I've seen people reporting that their sites are being crawled five times in a week. However, if you submit your website's url alone ( just like AddURL feature of Google) after creating the necessary Google Sitemaps Account, you will get the same statistics for your webpages. There are other schools of thoughts also regarding Google sitemaps . Some people have reported that it is useless as they are not getting any Page Statistics on the submitted URL. Regarding such views, we may say that, the Google Sitemaps is only in its BETA form, and Google Team is working hard on it so that it generates desired result.
  4. There are lots of frauders out there too. Watch out for those emails about sending money to help some foreign family in desperate need of help or something. It's annoying that I get those kinds of emails :/ Just keep an eye out and never send money to some place you never even signed up for or something.
  5. I've been playing Diablo II since around late 90s and I've been playing it ever since. It's a very addicting game and I love it even if there's nothing left for me to do but Cow Runs and ETC. I've been playing it and when I first got I, I played for hours and couldn't put the... keyboard down! So If you're trying to find a game, and don't already have Diablo II or expansion, get it, GET IT NOW!!!

  7. Hi everybody,I've just signed up and got a burning topic to post a message. It is the dream of every webmaster to get the top 10 rank in Google. I have gone through the posts earlier and I think at this stage it requires a sum-up.The issue is " How do I get my site the first page on Google".Yes, it involves so many factors. Just a quick list for you to check up.1) The website url:It should relate to the site content, though not mandatory, in any case.2) The page title:The page tile should be descriptive and a brief reflection of the content of the page and not just the site name or no title at all! Do not make it too big, otherwise GoogleBOT will take it as negative.3) Meta Tags : The keyword should not be more than, I think, 25 to 30 words. Also try not to use single word but a phrase of two to three words. Think, what users can type in the search box and select your keywords accordingly. People, usually, do not type a single word in the search box. Do not repeat the same word again and again as that will definitely go against you. GoogleBot is intelligent enough to pick-up your intention. Description: Description should be the summary of your page content. It is againn must not be too lengthy. It should contain keywords as well.4) Page content : Page content should be keyword-rich. But never use too may keywords. It has nowhere been naratted by Google, exactly, what is the optimum keyword density, but then I say, just keep a balance. Do not load your pages excessively with keyword, neither it should be void of keywords. Do not use too much images in your webpages as GoogleBot does not recognise image. Use Text links more often than images. Alwasy use <ALT> tag with images, though not mandatory. Your content must not reflect your keywords alone. It should be useful and interesting for the visitors to read. But wherever you can, insert Keyword for that page. Balance, as I have said earlier, is the key. 5) Hidden Fields: Do not use hidden form fields or comments tag to insert keywords as it will damage your page ranking.6) Broken Links/Dead Links: Broken/Dead links will definitely go against your Page Ranking. So check for broken/dead links many a times before submitting your site to Google.More Tips: Just observe,( but never copy), the sites ranking top in the Google Search . There is a lot of staff to learn from top ranking sites. Just note from those sites the title,description and page content. . Do spend some time observing what other's are doing and do make modifications accordingly. Use single url for each page of your website. Give page-title, keywords and contents for each page of your website. It has explicitly been mentioned by Google( If my memory does not speak wrong) that they believe ( or something like that) the fact that each webpage-url must have one particular contents. Use of dynamic webpages might harm your page rank. Link to Good sites only . Link exchage will definitely improve your page rank. Promote your site. The more you promote the more will be the chance of getting a goog page rank. Do not think of the Page Ranks. Think what you have to offer to your visitors. GoogleBot simply does the work of a human moderator, so do not try to make it fool. Finally, getting a good page rank is a process and you have to try hard to achieve this. That's why, instead of getting too much taxed up with the idea of Good Page rank, rather, try to upgrade your site contents periodically. It will definitely give you good rank in fine, keeping in mind rule 1 to 6 above. Too much stuff from a Newbee! But, I think, it will work. Bye.
  8. That's why they gotta make some batteries with longer life >_< Gosh, all this technology is nice and all, but man if battery can't last long enough, and laptop life dies faster, what's the point of mobility in these laptops >_< Though... I WANT !!
  9. More like Battle Field 2 yup. It's pretty fun for awhile but I don't know, it's not really as good as BF2. Maybe I'm just being biased cause BF2 is a known title and I tend to fall for known titles over the other :/ Still great for those who have never played or don't have BF2 at least
  10. Go for the GEforce 128 bit. That one is pretty promising. I've been using that on my old computer and it plays games on low but great quality settings. Just don't expect to get it way up in the high or max settings on most recent games of course XD Quite fun overall and you won't really be disappointed unless you were expecting something BIG or stuff...
  11. Welcome to both of you. I'm sure you will enjoy yourself here at Xisto. There are loads of Tutorials and information to learn from and really helpful people. I usually just visit from Xisto.com, a sister company, to review the tutorials since I am just learning some php and html. There is also another sister-site called gfxtrap.com that might be of interest for the Graphics-inclined members. Check it out.
  12. For the amount of Word Processing I do, and speed of my typing, it doesn't really matter to me which one I use. I have Open Office installed because after a HD crash, I couldn't re-install Office, so I opted for Oo.org's version 2. It has some nice things about it. It loads slower than Office, for sure, but again, most of my work is done with another text editor for html "projects", so that isn't a big issue. It will load quicker if it is enabled on start-up, but since I use it so rarely, I have dis-abled the start-up function to conserve utilities and space.I think the Spreadsheet graphics are nicer to work with in Oo.o. But, again, I am not a regular user of them. In fact, I usually need a refresher course each time I do something with it... lol.
  13. Do you remember when we had the Marijuana Party? I think it was usually during a lunch hour at school.Seriously though, this is a lame duck Parliament. Another Minority Government. If you do the math, the Conservatives require the support of either the Liberals (unlikely) or the Bloc (more likely) in order to have a Majority to pass Legislation. The Bloc Quebecois hold the key to the Conservative's success. The NDP and Liberals combined do not have sufficient seats to veto the decisions.Expect another Election soon.
  14. My favorite one is Terminal perhaps. I love almost all movies with Tom Hanks. Also, the Original Sin, The LOTR, Cruel Intentions, Butterfly effect, Monster, the GreenMile...etc. I like watching movies that makes you cry, or the ones that awake great feeling in you. ohh...I forgot about Million Dollar Baby - one of the best movies I've ever seen. Recently I've watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and I really liked it. Tim Burton is great, I like his works(like Corpse Bride and the Big Fish - which is also great). And...of course I love the classics of cinematography, such as Devil's Advocate, The interview with the Vampire and The Godfather.
  15. I use photobucket, but when I have to upload biiig images (150kb and more) I use imageshack.us I heard that http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is ok too.
  16. I'm pretty sure that I can live without a computer, and the Internet. But I have to be very very busy, so I just won't have time to turn my computer on. When I moved to university campus, my parents didn't allow me to have Internet in my room. But they had to allow me to take my laptop with me. Then I realized, that just a computer without Internet is nothing! Of course, I played games, I used photoshop etc, but computer without msn in it is NOT a computer to me. I wanted to go to the computer club which wasn't so far from my dorm, but I had no time. I was so busy with studies and stuff. After month or two I finally stopped wanting to go online that often. But when I'm home, and when all the cleaning/washing/studying is done, and I have plenty of time, I just go to my room and turn the computer on, it's like a habit.After my first three sleepless nights in the Internet, my parents decided to stop me by hiding my modem somewhere. Lucky me, I found it pretty fast. We used to argue a lot, but then my parents gave up. Now we have full democracy at home)
  17. Heh...when I was registering I couldn't think of a nickname. I'm not fond of forums, so I never had nicknames for forums before. I had to think of one. And then I just opened my magazine, which was lying just next to the computer, and the first name I saw was "Twiggy". the article was about ANTM(america's next top model). And I decided to use it, and since that very moment I'm Twiggy)
  18. I really enjoy playing Sims. I used to have all the versions of Sims 1. I started playing with Hot Date, and now I have the Sims 2. The second version is something. I spent three days playing when i just bought it. And when the university, nightlife appeared, I was first in stores to buy it. I'm really gettin' crazy about sims. I'm a HUGE fan.
  19. I voted for Photoshop, cause I never used PSP) I can't imagine my life without my fav. Photoshop CS. It's easy to learn and to use. It has everything that is needed for doing the graphics. But, one of my friends uses PSP, and he does really great things with it. He's an wonderful artist, and his works are stunning. It's easier for him to use PSP. What I'm trying to say is, everyone uses the program that is more convinient. I think people can't say that one program is better than the other one. Each of them is good itself I think.
  20. Completely wrong, POST is a method of the HTTP Protocol, which means HTML is not the only language that can do it, but it may seem like the easiest way. So any HTTP capable client should be able to submit POST methods.Maybe the RFC2616 will help you understand what the requirements are, unless you do want some code shown, any particular language? Remember you must follow the rules of message transmission for it to work as intended.Cheers,MC
  21. i would go with wireless because why would you buy another modem. it is a question of common sense.
  22. i agree that it will be phones from cingular like rokr or rokr2 but i think they haven't made any new versions of shuffle. so i think that it is going to be like shuffle that is smaller and thinner and you can do stuff in it. probably be like 2 gig insted of 512mb. they will think of something cool.
  23. which graphics card should i getnVidia GeForce 6600GT 256MB:500MHz/500MHz (GPU/vRAM)128bit Memory Interface3 Vertex, 8 Pixel PipelinesATi Radeon X800GTO 256MB:500MHz/500MHz (GPU/vRAM)256bit Memory Interface6 Vertex, 12 Pixel Pipelines
  24. just go up to the bios screen and then got to frequency and voltage control setting and then you should see a bunch of numbers, if you see a 100 or default change that in increments of 2 like 100-102 or 102-104 and then check out the speed of you pc. it is crazy.
