Don't condemn them blindly. Try to understand their situation first. If their situation is negligible enough, then you can condemn them. If they lost a husband or wife or something, you can try to redirect them to counseling. If they put a gun to their head if you suggest that, ask the police to use a sniper to shoot the gun out of the (wo)man's hand, and then take them to a mental hospital, or something.

No, Winzip can handle RAR files. Let's do another comparison between ALZip and Ultimate Zip: UltimateZip handles 17 file formats, while ALZip handles 36. UltimateZip writes 12 file formats, while ALZip writes to 8. Both have virus scanner integration. Both have password protection and encryption. Both have backup capabilities (I think, I'm not sure.) Both are free. Both have command-line interfaces. Both have commenting. Both have "wizards", but ALZip's is just one dialog. Both can create SFX files. ALZip has its own format... Well, I guess they're pretty much equally matched. I'd recommend choosing one based on your preference.

Well, what they mean by flat is, the Earth is a flat, round disc, with the south pole being the ice wall. They go west because it is physically possible. They can go "west" all they want, and they will keep going in counterclockwise circles around the North Pole.

Sure winrar is better than WinZip. That's why they both cost more. Just use 7zip or ALZip if you really want functionality, though. They're both free.

Well, that's the point. Most people post just enough to stay over 14 credits. So, if you paid 50 credits for 20 MB of space, you'd have to be extra active to get that. Making it anything really more than that is kinda cheap. (And it's only available for hosted members - don't forget that.) I just came up with the idea because there isn't much else I can do with my 150 credits other than let them run down, or to build up 250 and get a free domain with them. I'm thinking, why not put it towards something useful?

Wait, that was Afghanistan? I was factually mistaken then. Sorry about that. Anyway, my input on the problem was a few pages ago. You might find it on page 2 or 3. This topic went off-topic for a while; let's bring it back.

Don't worry. I won't nag him. It was just a suggestion. If you think the above system is a little too lenient or too cheap or too expensive, you can tweak the ratios as you like. Like maybe trade 50 credits for 20 MB of space and 120 credits for a whole gigabyte of bandwidth. As well, I thought the REPORT button was for reporting objectionable posts. If you had changed the title that way, I thought I would have gotten a 20% warning.

Doesn't God give everything he needs to on time? It only seems late from humans' perspectives because humans are impatient and God is the most patient, according to the Bible. As well, I think it's kind of annoying when you capitalize the entire word "GOD" in all of your posts. You could put it in small caps (like THIS); that's what most Bibles do. You can exalt him all you want... but I think you're overdoing the name-calling.

Winzip opens .rar files too. I use a different program known as "ALZip". Let's do a relative comparison: ALZip supports a whopping 36 file formats (including its own and all the formats that WinRar works with), while WinRar only works with 14. ALZip is free, and has no Pro version, WinRar is shareware, for 40 days, and costs $29.99 to buy. (Remember that ALZip actually wins in this category, and that I consider a no-premium version to be better.) ALZip has no maximum file size, WinRar has a maximum of 2^63 bytes. No one wins here, since there are no archive files that are 2^63 (9,223,372,036,854,775,808) bytes in size. ALZip can create 8 file formats; WinRar can only create .rar files. Both have spanned-archive capabilities. Both have one tiny ad on the top-right corner. (Having an ad is BAD. It's a tie.) Both have password-protection capabilities. I guess there are no payoffs for ALZip either. So it wins, hands down as well.

Well, then again, the poor guy(girl?) doesn't have a computer to use. Unless there's an old one he(she)'s using. But yes, download a copy of Linux (either DSL or Ubuntu) and try to run that. If it works, stick with it. Windows costs $200 anyway. Return that copy to them and shove it in their faces with a look on your face that says, "I don't need this, retards*! I've got Linux!" *Just kidding. You might get sued for that. And by "retards" I mean "people behind on computer development". Okay, what... this topic is 4 years old! This reply is outdated.

I believe so. I also have a question (maybe slightly off-topic) about hosting in general. If you happen to receive a 20% warning level, does your hosting account get suspended until it reaches 0 again? (As well, one could implement a "warning dissipation" system where the warning level also decreases by 0.5% to 1% a day...)

My church teachers (yes, I have quite a few) tell me that people mourn because they should -- death is an "unnatural wrenching" of the soul from the body, and it is a result of sin.Well, that's their opinion. Is death natural or unnatural?

This is all very true. If you're going to pray to God, pray for others. Same goes for any other religion.If you're going to show repentance to God, show it sincerely. God judges blasphemers even lower than nonbelievers. (Well, I'm not sure about that last fact, but I believe it myself.)If you're going to pray to God for selfishness, maybe you should think about why you believe in God in the first place. Are you hoping that he will give you a better life? Well, that might happen, but don't expect to be able to not do any work and let God work his magic in everything you don't do.

I'm thinking of setting up a system of "buying" more webspace for your site, just like the domain name feature. Say, if you pay 20 credits, you get another 100 MB of bandwidth for your site. Or, if you pay 40 credits, you get 10 MB more space. What do you think? Sorry, could you change the "buy" in the title into "buying"? It seems like I'm trying to promote a paid hosting site.

What you pay is what you get... so you get nothing on Xisto for being a good member of the community... I understand what you mean. Most hosts only last about 3 to 4 years because they grow too quickly... Xisto has only been here for about 3 years... we'll see what happens in 2 more.

Sure, suicide is bad. But just trying to brute-force prevent it doesn't help. (They'll do it before you can reach them.) You need to find out why they have this urge to commit suicide. Usually it's because they feel bad about themselves, but you need to understand their complete mental situation.The reason you'd want to do this is because you want to prevent them from trying again. If you understand the situation, you can work towards a solution.I've seen a few police videos where a sniper shoots a gun out of a suicidal man's hand, and then the police tackle him down and arrest him. That's not a good way to go. Putting him in jail for attempting suicide will only make things worse, and make him think there's no purpose in life. I'd suggest placing him in a mental hospital instead.

Usually if someone finds an anomaly on a "major" page containing information related to science, the error correction time is at least 30 seconds, to about a maximum of 4 minutes, because a lot of people view these pages, and they can find factual errors. Of course one has a huge range of accuracy, but I don't see why the pages related to science can't be considered "credible". Usually pages like "Petals Around The Rose" and "Abortion" are the most edited: one because people don't like the solution to be shown, and the other because people think abortion is wrong and that Wikipedia should reflect that.

And creationists are 99.99999999% sure that the world was created by God. EDIT: Arrrgh, I meant, created by God in 6 literal days, 6,000 years ago.

So you can actually withdraw your credit bank credits? I want to save mine up so that I can get 250 credits for a domain name. I already have 140, but I wasn't sure if the bank was only to be used as a bank for awarding credits to other people. EDIT: No, they actually can't be stored and withdrawn. I checked the process page, and the bank is deposit-only. This is to "ensure that there are always credits to award inside the bank".

I like Wikipedia as well. If the information on Wikipedia isn't enough, or if I have doubts about accuracy, there are usually other sources that it cites that can provide even more information. Encarta is pretty much limited to whatever it has.

Of course that's true. But, my science teacher doesn't allow Wikipedia for a source either, and Wikipedia cites a LOT of reliable sources for the information that it provides. Sure, anyone could just go up there and type anything, but what's the incentive? I know for a few more controversial topics, like abortion, the page is frequently edited to say that "Abortion is a cruel, heartless process that kills babies" where the whole page is deleted and this text is inserted.

Yes, you made a lot of sense. Religion is not there to have war with. It is there to guids people in peaceful ways. You could say that it promotes peace, actually. When people decide to go on crusades and mortal wars they completely undermine their own religion. However, there are atheists out there who do not like the idea of bowing down to a god. They are not being arrogant; they respect each other and don't make anyone bow down to them either. However, some Christians lord over others , saying "we're better than you because we're Christians". That is NOT good.

I clicked on all 6... but I didn't click on any of the ads because I couldn't really find anything that I could sponsor.

Wait, whose side are you on, again... Anyway, I guess so, but it doesn't mean that there is a one true religion. Well, at least the ones we see today aren't... there might be a one "true" religion that we haven't discovered yet, and won't until it's too late. (Hmm. this seems to be following Christianity a lot...) Aren't the two mutually inclusive? Which confuses me. You seem to be on 2 sides here. First of all, you're calling God "He", which is exalting behaviour that is mostly attributed to Christians. Secondly, you're saying that the Bible wasn't inspired by God, which is what Christians "are supposed to" believe. Are you a Christian? I'd just like to know.

Is it just me or is there a great opportunity to rate hosts?I'll get to it later.
