The destruction of the internet is not physically possible. The internet is not a tangible object, it consists of many computers connected in a network.
Unless you can destroy or disable every single computer in the world, the "internet" will still exist. Any 2 computers connected together means that there is an "internet"
Technically two computers connected together is a network. an intERnet, no , An intRAnet maybe.

This is a really interesting subject and i have two options1. Create a virus that can kill all the worlds routers and modems. By the way of firmware hacksWhich would be very difficult, but would render the hardware useless2. Take it down from an ISP standpointBy the means of taking down the ASAM, ISAM & DSLAM, ADSL Injectors that provide you with your DSL connection.But this is harder and near impossible, due to the fact that these DSL devices that provide the Internet connection are isolated in a VPN corporate network.(I should know, i work for a Telecommunications provider)Otherwise unless you cut the Submarine cables the cross the ocean, It can't be done

I have a cheap one Motorola C118, it only cost me $80.I don't see the point of all the added features if you just TXT and Call People, a camera does come in handy every now and again, but also if i wanted to take pictures i would use my Good Digital SLR, not a crappy Cellphone camera.Don't get me wrong Features are good, but if you don't NEED them and just want them, then its a waste of the Extra cash that you pay for them

If there ws no internet then i would be out of a job, and PC's would only be affordable for those who had loads of money.also i would have never meet my Partner and got married.The internet has its place, just like sliced bread ( best thing since sicedbread).

The forums have around 30000+ Topics. All you have to do is, Use a feature called Search at the top right. Look up at your room ceiling, close your eyes, think of a topic, hit the search!
If you don't find a similar discussion, Even better! Create your own topic.
And if you do not find the forum to post in your great thought, Bug Me :-)
I do hesitate to post on a topic that has been round for more than six months, It might just be me but i feel like i'm "flogging a dead horse" when i do post in really old topics.
Maybe there should be an archive for older threads and if someone wants to post something new on it, create a new thread with the first post being the link to the old thread.

I had the same problem during my Teenage YearsI went to the doctor and got full bloods done, and he put it down to a hormone imbalance.It happens to most people in their life, it also would help to get more sleep at night, if you find that that doesn't work, then you can in the afternoon or early evening, go to bed for a granny nap, Do that every day for about a week, and you should be back in order.

There are several aspects to this case.The first is the guy Consumed Alcohol, then preceded to drive his Pickup while drunk.The second is that through his own actions has ended the life of his 9 year old daughters life.Regardless if it was intentional or by accident, he shouldn't have been driving the pick-up while intoxicated, and if he didn't drive the pickup his daughter would still be alive.If this guy gets off, then anyone who kills some one while DIC, would have the same argument.in saying all this the fact of the matter is that he killed his daughter while driving his pickup while drunk. There is no excuse for that.

What you need is the condition before the normal style sheet<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ xmlns="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; xml:lang="en" lang="en"><head> <title>Home</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> <!--[if IE 6]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie6style.css" /> <![endif]--></head>
OK that's my code. I have been using IE conditionals for awhile and never had any problems. Now it wont work at all. I have tried so many different ways and nothing works. I would prefer it to be in the /css directory, but i dont know, it didn't work there so i tried the root.

FF and Safari it looks like it is supposed to (and i didn't design just slicing it for a client)
IE6 is having the issues and I just want to put a conditional in there and it will fix it all. The top shadow you see in FF and Safari should be gone in IE6 because i took it out to test it. So you can see if the shadow that shadow is gone.
A basic form of this is the If-Then-Else statment
If (logic happenes ie Browser),
Then (use this style sheet)
Else (or if logic isn't true then use this style sheet)
The above just gives you an idea of how to approach the situation.

My best writer, is
David Zendel
With the masterpiece "Neverness"
Its the only book That i haven't been able to put down for hoursIn attempts to create plausible future societies, many authors resort to cliché or give in to the temptation to caricature present-day social structures. Zindell just dumped the whole lot in the bin and set about building a cohesive whole where vocations like akashics, harijan, scryers, tinkers, cetics, wormrunners and warrior-poets have replaced the familiar professions of today. Yet we are soon so involved that the initial unfamiliarity is lost and we are swept along with the story.
The majority of the technology involved in the books (yes, I've now been through them all) is treated well, with emphasis being placed on the craftsmanship or elegance of a device, rather than the "gosh-wow-look-what-this-does" approach -- just as we treat hi-fis, cars, microwaves and so on today. Zindell uses this to illustrate how far apart the professions have grown, with no knowledge passing between them. His only in-depth treatment of the use of a technology is in describing how a pilot of a lightship traverses the galaxy from star to star, with all its strange geometry and mathematics. Without this, a lot of the impact of the craft of a pilot, and therefore its dangers, would be lost. For anyone put off SF by interminable chapters describing anti-gravity/wormholes/time machines/alien biology, this book is an ideal way to get into the field.
In a galaxy that includes insane computer "gods" the size of star systems, bizarre religious sects that worship death and poetry, men who have so altered their DNA across centuries as to be unrecognisable to ordinary humans, and a strange wavefront of exploding stars called "the Vild" which threatens to destroy the majority of humanity, we focus on the life of a young graduate pilot, Mallory Ringess, on the planet of Icefall, in the city of Neverness.
The overall story is huge and deeply complex, and leads, ultimately, to a quest for the meaning of life. Corny it may be as subject matter, but Zindell's almost spiritual handling of the revelations, as Mallory and his friends journey toward a deeper understanding of the universe and themselves, is something to behold. The canvas upon which the action takes place is masterfully drawn; there are hints of greater powers in the galaxy, intriguing glimpses into the lives of alien races, the descriptions of the city of Neverness itself are superb and the characterisations are rich and varied.
Neverness is told in the first person from the perspective of Mallory himself. He's a young, impetuous, and sometimes absolutely infuriating man, yet Zindell has the reader empathising with him as he goes through a succession of physical and mental trials. In fact, even when the idiot has dug himself into such a big hole that he frankly deserves what's coming, you still feel a rueful kinship with him. Brutally honest, brave, egotistical and often plain stupid, Mallory's flaws are held up for all to see, and in him Zindell has created a believable protagonist.
Neverness is a very human story, set in a future where mankind has changed, yet some truths still seem the same. In battling with these forces Zindell, through Mallory, holds out hope for something more than a hand-to-mouth existence for humanity, without succumbing to over-the-top optimism. A fine, and very absorbing, read.Notice from rvalkass:

I agree with boy-thoj.But if you have already talked to her about what boy-thoj said. then you need a different approach.Do you go to the gym??If you do go to the Gym, then i think its time to take some of that anger and built up emotions out on a Punching bag.I know it may seem like just venting some of your frustrations, but its better than the other thought i had, which was to find her Beat the crap out of her, and those backstabbing friends. You need to channel your anger and jealously into something that is going to help you, A punching bag is a great tool to channel your feelings into, it won't get hurt or punch back and best yet you won't get arrested over it.I have been there and have done it the wrong way, i lashed out and spent the next 12 months in jail.There is always a way to change your negative energy into positive energy, you just have to find out what one works best for you.

The five toughest questions women ask - and their answers According to Sassy magazine, the five questions are:
1. "What are you thinking?"
2. "Do you love me?"
3. "Do I look fat?"
4. "Do you think she is prettier than me?"
5. "What would you do if I died?"
What makes these questions so bad is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument and/or divorce if the man does not answer properly, which is to say dishonestly. For example:
1. "What are you thinking?" The proper answer to this question, of course, is, "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, caring, thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful woman you are and what a lucky guy I am to have met you."
Obviously, this statement bears no resemblance whatsoever to what the guy was really thinking at the time, which was most likely one of five things:
1. Baseball
2. Football
3. How fat you are.
4. How much prettier she is than you.
5. How he would spend the insurance money if you died.
According to the Sassy article, the best answer to this stupid question came from Al Bundy, of Married With Children, who was asked it by his wife, Peg. "If I wanted you to know," Al said, "I'd be talking instead of thinking."The other questions also have only one right answer but many wrong answers:
2. "Do you love me?" The correct answer to this question is, "Yes." For those guys who feel the need to be more elaborate, you may answer, "Yes, dear."
Wrong answers include:
1. I suppose so.
2. Would it make you feel better if I said yes.
3. That depends on what you mean by "love".
4. Does it matter?
5. Who, me?
3. "Do I look fat?" The correct male response to this question is to confidently and emphatically state, "No, of course not" and then quickly leave the room.
Wrong answers include:
1. I wouldn't call you fat, but I wouldn't call you thin either.
2. Compared to what?
3. A little extra weight looks good on you.
4. I've seen fatter.
5. Could you repeat the question? I was thinking about your insurance policy.
4. "Do you think she's prettier than me?" The "she" in the question could be an ex-girlfriend, a passer-by you were starring at so hard that you almost caused a traffic accident or an actress in a movie you just saw. In any case, the correct response is, "No, you are much prettier."
Wrong answers include:
1. Not prettier, just pretty in a different way.
2. I don't know how one goes about rating such things.
3. Yes, but I bet you have a better personality.
4. Only in the sense that she's younger and thinner.
5. Could you repeat the question? I was thinking about your insurance policy.
5. "What would you do if I died?" Correct answer: "Dearest love, in the event of your untimely demise, life would cease to have meaning for me and I would perforce hurl myself under the front tires of the first Domino's Pizza truck that came my way."
This might be the stupidest question of the lot, as is illustrated by the following stupid joke:
"Dear," said the wife. "What would you do if I died?"
"Why, dear, I would be extremely upset," said the husband. "Why do you ask such a question?"
"Would you remarry?" persevered the wife."No, of couse not, dear" said the husband.
"Don't you like being married?" said the wife.
"Of course I do, dear" he said.
"Then why wouldn't you remarry?"
"All right," said the husband, "I'd remarry."
"You would?" said the wife, looking vaguely hurt.
"Yes" said the husband.
"Would you sleep with her in our bed?" said the wife after a long pause.
"Well yes, I suppose I would." replied the husband.
"I see," said the wife indignantly. "And would you let her wear my old clothes?"
"I suppose, if she wanted to" said the husband.
"Really," said the wife icily. "And would you take down the pictures of me and replace them with pictures of her?"
"Yes . . . I think that would be the correct thing to do."
"Is that so?" said the wife, leaping to her feet. "And I suppose you'd let her play with my golf clubs, too?"
"Of course not, dear," said the husband. "She's left-handed."

First DateMy next door neighbors' son was going on his first date. My neighbor drove his son to the miniature golf complex where he was meeting his date and a group of friends. Only after 45 minutes did he get a phone call saying the date was over. After picking his son up he waited a while before asking how the date went. When he asked, his son said, "Dad, I don't think I understand girls, they talk too much, they cost a lot of money and they don't taste so good."

Luckily it was only a movie.Don't worry man, next time if there is nothing on at the movies, go rent or hire one, its just as good and you can pause it when you want to.

I used to skip classesBut now I don't as i am in the big world of work, and i pride myself on turning up to work even though i don't feel like it.I have turned up to work sick before and it took 3 hours before any one notice and i was sent home and told not to come in for 3 days.

Thank you but her and my best friend just had a HUGE fight and she said she wont be hangout with us for a "long long time" while he is with us. Even past that i really dont know what words to use other then the 3 in my head "i love you." but im ok with using that i guess. My other probelm is i don't have good judgement when it comes to choosing a time.
Keep it simple, "I Love You", is as simple as it gets.
As for the right time, there is never going to be a right time with Anthony or *** in the picture, what you need to do is next time you see her, pull her aside and say "I just wanted you to know that I Love You". and leave it as that, and Leave it in her hands.
That way you have let her know and it gives her a way out of going out with ***.
If you hesitate you will never let her know what it is that you feel, and she won't know either.

Happy birthday for yesterday SMHope no one played any pranks on you.hope you had a drink for every year of your life.(By now i would be pissed of my scooter )Happy B-Day again. and many returns for the coming year

I have seen this many times before, not to mention been through it time and time again. I would ask him if he would like to go to the movies or for a coffee.The worst that can happen is that he will say no.On the other hand, if you feel like things are going well, ask him out on a date. (guys are awkward around girls too, so take a big step and just do it) If he likes you in a "likes" way, then you shouldn't have a problem. It may seem like, you are afraid of what they will say or do or think. (I learn't a while ago, as long as you think highly of yourself, then it doesn't matter what others think.)hope this helps.Give us more info as it becomes avalible

LOL what a great idea.It should be a must for all country's, you would have a lot of smile the next day thats for sure.But one question does it only apply for couples, or can anyone enter the contest, What about single people???
-
I have been where you are now, and i know what it is like.But the good thing there is a way around this, it takes courage and swallowing pride, but this is what you have to do. (it worked for me)You said that your Dad is like your best friend, Talk to your Dad, tell him how you have been feeling, and ask him to help you get through this tough time, Go with your Dad to the doctor and get a referral to see a Specialist, They are there to help, not to criticize. Depression can be caused by a lot of things but most of the time it is caused by an imbalance in Hormones and/or diet, your doctor will be able to tell you this.I asked for help with my depression, and i am now a Strong 22 year old, who can tackle anything in life, mainly because i learn't That it is ok to talk about it, that it's not just me that is going through this.Hang in there mate you will get through this.

My biggest turn off, is when a girl is being to critical, about how you preform, or what you say.I think the best word to describe that is condescending.And also EWWWW feet (gotta be looked after, but not to well looked after)
Is It Possible To Destroy The Internet?

If you were able to make a script that utilizes the DNS to redirect to Localhost (or self 127.0.0.1) therefor stopping most internet users in there tracks.Most users don't know the ip address of Google or any other Major site, I know the ip of my isp DNS servers and e-mail servers, and authentication servers, but i have no idea how to create a virus that affects DNS servers only.
