You can also take a look at the below site for some of the awesome templates. I have used some of them in my sites.. They are with css and easy to customize based on requirements...

Themes are a very good idea... But the problem is these things make Gmail heavy , so such options should be kept as optional. Otherwise.. if things are pushed, it will not go to success. I am sure, you will understand that the whole power of Gmail is in its simple and powerful interface and it do not load pictures that easily... It has options to load them. So, the power of Gmail lies in its text only interface... So if the themes ans other stuffs come in... it might become heavy weight. But I think there are lots of addons available in Firefox that provide such features.. So people who want them... can very well take and use those addons very easily... Regarding the grouping of labels.. its a very nice option. BUt I also feel that it can be achieved with the existing labels feature... You can always do a search on more than one label... So you can have a high level label and more than one lower level of labels... So... depending on your needs they can be marked with more than one labesl... So... searching also will become efficient and will also help you in organizing stuffs.

Awesome message to start with... I do not think Chinese people go around and do such posting... If at all you are a Chinese... Please leave Taiwan free.

Having a wiki in the intranet in your office/ school is one of the important/ best things to do in order to help you/ people in knowledge management. I did that for my company and having my fingers crossed for that to be used effectively. Hope that is going on smoothly. And regarding the guidelines...The wiki is ready to have contents. But before anyone can put contents into the wiki, there are certain things that has to be followed which can be discussed and spread to everyone so that we have a highly integrated, stable, valid(in terms of contents), spam less and reliable wiki in the long run. Below are some of the things that i identified. Its not an exhaustive list.. .but certain things that came to my mind and I am sure there are lots of things i have missed... scope for others to add is more Important things to be followed Add only valid information. Make sure you remove conflicts with others before posting contents. Do not upload pictures (personal, team etc). Upload pictures only related to work/ project. This will help the system to be lightweight and function properly in many ways. Try to compress pictures before uploading. Do not upload big files/ datasets etc. Please provide links to shared drives where these files exist. Try to minimize the use of decks for internal knowledge transfers and use the wiki extensively. Please try to avoid having highly confidential and very sensitive information in the wiki, its public. Do not spam !!!. Please. Use only your ID (ID assigned to you) to edit contents in the wiki. Have your credentials to yourself. If you happen to get struck somewhere, please contact others. Please insist others to use the wiki and put all their knowledge, future transitions and knowledge transfers will be easy and effective. Please use the ?Watch? feature in the wiki, to monitor your pages of interest. Please use the ?Categories? feature so that, you have all your teams contents in one place. It helps to organize contents. With these in place... I am sure the wikis will have a reasonably good content base and stable.

Do Playing Violent Video Games Turn Their Players Violent?
varalu replied to rayzoredge's topic in General Discussion
It is directly proportional to the maturity level of the member who is playing the game. When small kids play such games, they usually get carried away with such games and try to imitate characters and actions similar to the games they play which may not be the case with more mature people. It also depends on the amount of vulgarity/ crime or whatever is present in the game. Researchers suggest that small children should not be exposed to such games or even such movies. So discretion is always advised. -
It would be great if someone can give me that info to me too... I have also been searching to see if it can be done. Anyways i have moved to the next phone, but still the knowledge of it wont hurt. so, expecting a positive response from someone...I think this can be posted in some Nokia forum, there must be people who will be able to help us out. Will do that...

Stop sitting idle and burn some calories. Of course food plays a vital role in that, so do spend some time to identify the best foods. By best foods i mean, balanced and hygienic. This is the best way to stay fit and healthy... Other artificial options may definitely spoil your health and cause adverse effects.

Firefox... firefox and definitely Firefox !!! I just do not like browsing the web without firefox. so i always have firefox in my pen drive just in case, i have to face a system that does not have this browser. Now i am using version 3 of firefox and i should say that i am liking it.
-
Agreed... Addons are one of the important things that keeps people glued to Firefox. But still i think, things are in the right place in firefox when compared to other browsers. I just find it hard to locate things in IE whereas its easy in Firefox. and please... I am sure firefox has one of the neat and simple interfaces which is definitely a very big plus.

When it comes to Camera phones, Sony ericsson is definitely on top of the order. i have seen same pictures from different phones and those pictures from Sony are definitely a mark ahead in terms of quality and picture. Now there are so many players are in the marked and coming up with good models and competing equally good with Sony's phones. For example nokia n82 has a very good camera featuring 5MP and its good. So its a tough decision to make, but these phones will never replace the digital cameras... If you are looking for photos in specific, digicam will be the best option and not a camera...

How To Turn Invisible Techniques and experiences
varalu replied to Animator's topic in General Discussion
The earth will be full of these people and I doubt if that will be used for constructive purposes? So... Its better the normal way and be visible. It will be nice if only "I" have that option to turn invisible... ... I know I am selfish. But the "things" i can do... cool man... -
I have come up with my page here... http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Though its a bit old, i update it occasionally to inform others what I am upto. Previously i used to have this web-page for some other purpose (Like displaying news from various sources using RSS), but have now turned it into my home page (Primary...), and update it when my status changes. It has been some time, from my last change and as for my knowledge all info are true. Of-course its one of the very good service from Google...

Paypal.. Safe Or Not? well is it?
varalu replied to spawn_syxx9's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Hey Spawn... I am not very sure of the article to whose link you have posted in your post. But i have experiences of my own which i would like to share. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Check out the above link, where phishing was happening in the name of Paypal. I will not blame paypal for this, as this is common for any site that has some credibility. So, its up to users discretion. Though it is tough to identify such threats, users have to be very careful not to pass on the user names and passwords to third party anonymous websites without knowledge which may lead to so many adverse effects of upto losing your account all together and the worst, losing your money. So, its always better to be very careful with the activities of yours online and also advice the same to your friends and family, like I am doing here . -
This is a crappy question i should tell. One reason being the question itself is bad and the other being the number of options you have given and i should say, you have a very bad taste... Hey no offence... That was for fun. Anyways, You have one good option that i like and i wanted to stick to that.... Die old in my sleep. And if you need more ideas on how to come up with so many options get back to me.. will come up with a big list for you... Alternatively you can find them here using the Google sets page -- http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Indeed a very helpful service... Thesaurus basically...

How Often Do You Use Css? As opposed to using simple font and div tags
varalu replied to DSGamer3002's topic in Programming
Almost every day man... I am into lot of things these days and that keeps me engaged. CSS is only a part of the full picture... I have few websites of my own and have few blogs too.. These needs continues maintenance else will go to crap, so kind of needs my attention always.... So i have no other choice but to tweak them regularly and keep myself updated. Though i do not create css of my own, i work a lot on that. Most of the time, i change/ tweak the codes that are available online or elsewhere... For tweaking there are so many references I have, though Google helps in most of the time. -
You will never be able to appreciate Vista if you go with its minimum requirements.All i know is, If you really wanted to appreciate the power of Vista, You should have a minimum RAM of 1Gb and have enough virtual memory in the HDD. You should also have a good display for so many things to be good in your system which i am sure you want...All the above things of mine are words of Wisdom from my past 1 year of Vista usage.

Ok kind of movie. I still like it.I like the one with the fire.. i do not remember the names of them basically.I used to watch the fantastic four in cartooon network back when i was in school and always liked the fun.And when it came out as a movie... I was happy. But i should say that my expectations were very very high and it fed me for 70-8- percent.

It depends upon your requirements... For development Xp id definitely the better option, but i would strongly recommend to use vista and start to get things done as in the future you will not have an option to switch back once the support to XP stops which is due in 1-2 years (i am not very sure of the dates... but i rad somewhere that it was soon and it was pushed back because of the demand from big companies...) and it will struck you hard when you do not have a choice... And when it comes to entertainment, personal use and looks Vista is the best. though the performance of the system sucks in Vista you always have the option of changing the settings to best suit to your work/performance and until you have that option i do not know why you have to switch back and forth between windows XP and Windows Vista. I have an experience of using some GIS software which did not have support for Vista and i had to uninstall and install Xp and the worse part is the support was releases the next week and i had to switch back. Uninstalling and installing is not the worse thing.. (I like to do that... i should say its fun).. but when some work has to be done... thats where the trouble is. Coming back to your ques... It depends on your requirements.

You mean to say that "Open office" is awesome... ??What the hell is wrong with you... Your post kind of struck s me hard in the neck. I was(is) also using open office for quite some time now... It runs in parallel with the ms office in my system and i should definitely say its not even close. MS office is far far ahead.... the amount of bugs that's there in open office is so much and does not let me do even some of the basic formatting's. The present open office is kind of grand father of the past generation to MS office 2007. It does not match the 2003 office itself. i know its hard but that's the truth and no one can deny the fact. I should say MS office users are more happier than open office users and things are done much faster. the next generation And by the way... the next generation is not with the desktop apps... Everything that runs inside a browser have got some appreciation and the worlds turns back.... Browsers are the next generation of platform independent application frameworks and google and few other companies are doing a better job out there...

Ya... the history tells me that these systems are like that. The best thing to do is to chuck it and get a new system (I still have few more things in my mind... So that would be a bad recommendation...) what will i do if i were you? Keep my cabinet open and let the air flow through it. I will also go forward and have a small table fan next to it. Even if this does not help and it still gets enough heat... I would really really recommend the first option given by me. FOR FUN -- Keep it next to a fountain... That might help .

Ya... thanks for the link. From my first view it looks promising but have not tried out yet.Now a days i am very lazy to signup in any of the sites. Kind of sucks with the amount of details that i have to fill in... though the amount of details has to b filled has reduced in most of the sites wherein they ask only for the email and its done... I am lazy to do that.But still the site looks promising and i have given a try.Will try out few stuffs there and will post the feedback when time permits.... i would not talk anything against Xisto though... i am one of the happiest customers of Xisto and i would never prefer to move out of Xisto, unless they close this free webhosting and is unlikely in the near future... :)Xisto.. You rock.

Surf Internet Without Opening It. Useful For School How-to
varalu replied to miikerocks's topic in General Discussion
Thanks... This helps to some extend.First the usual typing of the website name alone did not work... but the full address of the site works fine...Few more questions here?Is this the only way to do this?Do we have any other options in windows? If so... it would be great to share it with us. Thanks in advance.Also.... It is possible to define your own browser via some libraries in the microsoft based languages... I was searching for something for one of my packages back in college and i did find that there was such an option to create a browser of our own... Still that might not be able to match the top class browsers,,, still it might be of some help where things are blocked. i have never heard much about blocking IE and any other browser usage for that matter. Anyways have to experiment stuffs.
