I'm pretty satisfied with cPanel as it is right now. Pretty easy to navigate through and user-friendly, while still giving advanced users the options they need if they choose to use them. Also, Fantastico is a godsend.

Pretty interesting. While we're on the subject, there's another (relatively) new search engine I head about called accoona. It's based in China, and it is (to my knowledge) the ONLY search engine which uses actual AI (artificial intelligence) in giving you back search results. I was introduced to it by a substitute teacher at my school. It doesn't seem like to much now, but in the future the following may be the case: Using a traditional search engine , a search for the terms cook the books will return the same as a search for cook books (ignoring the common article the. A search using well-developed artificial intelligence however, will return results related to illegal financial activities by corporations and businesses (cook the books is slang for "A fraudulent activity done by some corporations to falsify their financial statements.") User-rated searches on great and all, but I agree with t3jem's concern that numerous google-bombing type issues could (and most probably will) occur. Personally, I think that artificial intelligence is the new direction of search optimization.

I'm going to be honest and say Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Calling him a master of the English language is like calling Ghengis Khan a master of peaceful diplomacy. The book is utter crap in my opinion. Yes, it does do a good job of informing the reader what society was like at the time, but guess what - society was BORING under Puritan control. I read the first chapter, which was a 3 page description of a prison door and a rose (might sound interesting or poetic, but it's hardly either) and the first few pages of the second chapter. After that I simply couldn't take it. Overall, from what I read (and friends who actually read the book for English classes have informed me that the rest of the book fits this description as well), there are numerous pages dedicated to describing virtually insignificant actions which do not add to the plot or the experience (unless you consider the experience an exercise in literary torture or a cruel test of the boredom threshhold), and the reader doesn't feel much after completing the book other than "Wow, I've wasted a lot of time reading this book [or attempting to]."

I think you may be off by a few zeroes in the Euro amount Anyway, the real point is that this isn't over yet. The European Union has said that it will go after Microsoft again numerous times. One thing they think is anticompetitive is the fact that the Microsoft operating system comes bundled with Microsoft's browser (many users are too lazy to research other browsers and Microsoft ends up getting them to use their products right from the start). Many also think that the EU will try to go against the Microsoft-Yahoo deal if it actually goes through.

I always love learning about strange new instruments. I love the sound and the fat vibration it leaves after. Where would I go about buying one of these and how much of a hit would my wallet take from it.

I signed up for the Do Not Call List a couple of years back and I have to say (for me) it's been very effective. I used to get calls all the time, especially from six o'clock to eight o'clock. Now, even though I occassionally get calls from charities and such, I don't really get advertisments about switching my phone or satellite company or people trying to sell me rediculous products.

Definitely Gmail for me. I haven't used hotmail in a long time, but last time I did I just hated it. Gmail is incredible simple and user-friendly. It gives you tons of space (more than you'll ever need so you can't complain). There's also a certain pseudo-respect that comes with a Gmail account. If somebody (an average person, not a big company) is interested in you for a job/comission or anything of that sort, they look at ___@hotmail.com pr ___@yahoo.com and think "this is sort of bootleg" in a way. But they look at ___@gmail.com and say "ok, this guy could be legit". It's a strange phenomenon, but I've observed it in real life.

t3jem hit on a critical point, which is that most commercial software (not just games, but applications in general) are aimed at a (Windows) PC Market. It is also as thorne said, different from the types of computers many people were raised on. Windows PCs hold the vast majority of computer users and people who try to make the switch are unsatisfied either because they (Macs) are lacking certain Windows features (or have them implemented very differently) or the Windows program ports for the Macs are full of bugs and glitches. Personally, I like the style of Macs (who doesn't), but I don't like the system overall. To me, it seems that Apple Computers have lots of flash, but little substance (this is strictly talking about the operating system, not the programs available for the actual computer). That's not to say I'm a Windows fan either. I rather dislike Windows, but seeing as how nearly everything I use requires or is most compatible with Windows, I dual boot with XP and Ubuntu.

I have numerous Java updates as well on my Add/Remove Programs utility. In total, they come out to ~600 mb. I'm scared to delete them since I do some (light) Java programming on my machine, and I don't want to have to redownload the SDK and all updates in case I mess it up (because even though my connection is decent, it's pretty unreliable and many times breaks during downloading of large files).

I believe Java has some built-in limitations that make it very difficult (if not impossible) to actually do something like that. As apacheNewbie said, it could be a security breach and thus it is most likely not possible to implement using Java.

First off, let me just say that I myself am also a huge fan of C&C (NOD) and 40K.Now, back on topic. The layout is incredibly smooth and flows very nicely. As SkyStormKuja said, the advertisements do blend in very well. In fact, I didn't even notice there were advertisements present until I started looking for them. The one thing I have to complain about is that I found it difficult for my eyes to transition between the shade of blue on your site (which I love) and the darker blue shade(s) you have on your forums. At first it gave my eyes a shock, but (even though I got used to the look of the forum after a while) I couldn't help but think that if your forum could use the same blue your website header uses, that it would look MUCH better.

My comments are going to mostly be about your resume but I'll just mention something quick about your site's design. It is very simple (in terms or 'flashiness') but it actually works quite nicely. As for your resume, I think you did a good job of giving the reader a general preview of who you are, but I would recommend that you try to add in a few more details. Other than just letting us know about your areas of expertise, let us also know about YOU as a person. You say you have "many interests" then take a little time to mention what they are and make your resume more personal. Just keep in mind that if you do go ahead and take my suggestion, you'll have to decide for yourself what the right balance of formality/professionalism and personality you want for your resume. Anyway, good luck with the website. I'll be starting college next year (Computer Science as well) and I know it's very difficult so good luck to you in school as well.

I read an article a few years back (not sure if it's as relevant now as it was back then) that said that one of the main things google's search algorithm takes into account is how many other pages there are on the web pointing to YOUR site. If this is still true, then I would recommend getting in touch with a few people who run sites similar to yours and placing links on your respective sites that lead to each other's pages.

Very nice layout. Not too crowded, but very flashy (in a good way) at the same time. Loaded fast as lightning. The content that you have up so far is of a good quality as well. The only comment that I'm going to make is that I believe you misspelled 'prefer' in the poll. But again, very nice. And I really appreciate how you managed to make advertisements present without making them get in the way of the actual site's content. Major kudos to you. You obviously spent a long time designing this and the outcome is very pleasing to the eye.
