  1. Welcome to Xisto. Thought I'd post (for my credits XD) as well as to welcome you. Hope you enjoy your stay here. It's not too bad.
  2. That is a silly answer. The internet is mainly held up by a large array of huge computers called the "backbone" of the internet. These computers are powerful, and well protected, and thus, very difficult to attack. But coupled with this is the fact that many of them have backups, meaning that anything you change would soon be up again. Also, there is a hellava lot of them. And it's not so easy to trace each and every one, as the tracert paths would be different depending from where you connect.A "mega super virus" wouldn't destroy the internet. A virus can only be sent through certain routes, and only if allowed through. Even if you wrote a virus that can enter port 80, and infect the webserver, the rest of the computer could isolate it, and clean it. Getting through that would take a lot of programming on the virus side.And to destroy the whole internet would mean you need to DoS attack every single backbone computer (or at least more than 6/7th of it I believe) which is quite impossible to do. As you attack one, the other will have already been restored.
  3. Interesting idea, I'll give you that. Building a computer inside a NES. With NES emulators, it'd be able to run just like a NES, except it'd be as powerful as a normal computer. The whole build it inside thing might be a tad difficult, but if you don't want too much modularity, it'd work perfectly. I'd like to see how far this gets. =D
  4. Eh...why don't you people just buy it. I'm sure a bargain bin somewhere will have it for cheap. Goodness. It's an extremely old game, and many newer games that are much better are out. If you're so strapped for cash, then simply buy 2005. =P
  5. If you want my honest opinion, I'd say it's quite...average. It has the essentials needed for a clan website (though there's no member list?) And seems to be adequet so far. Your forums need work (the logo isn't even changed yet), and you might want to build in a link back to the homepage from the forums so that one can return there after reading the boards.
  6. I'm not going to go into a debate on why the XBOX is inferior to the PS3 (or even the Wii), but I will comment on the PS2-PS3 thing. What I find is quite interesting. Granted, the PS3 has much better graphics, easier way to save, and even an online system (that I must say, isn't as good as Live is). But, just because games have better graphics doesn't mean their all worth it. So far, for the PS3, I'm looking forward to FF13 (because it's FF, not because it's on the PS3), and Assassin's Creed (though that one can be played on the XBOX too, so hmmm). Even now, they are still releasing games for the PS2(Persona 3 Fes, Mana Khemia, etc), and a month ago, it was still outselling all the 3rd gen consoles in Japan (save for the Wii). So, it seems that the popularity is quite fixed on the PS2 still, and it might take quite a while for it to die. And of course, don't throw it away. The PS3 still has limited to no backwards compatibility to PS1 games, which is frustrating, as there is some gems in the PS1 that I'd still want to play someday.
  7. I can also suggest using Paint Shop or Photoshop. Either to draw or sharpen the image. For instance, you could draw using the Pen Tool in PSP (which works like the drawing pen tool in Flash) and eliminates the shakiness of drawing with a mouse. You can also edit the lines, smoothing them more. But, if that doesn't appeal to you, you can always try using enchancing effects.For instance, I have PSP9. I've come to realise that when scanning in a pencil drawing, I can enchance it in two ways. Firstly, I use the 1 step Photofix to solve the problem of greyness. It becomes quite near to black to be exact. Then, you use the eraser to remove unnessary things like eraser marks and strange shadows. It's quite an easy way to turn it into a quality lineart. I suggest trying it.
  8. Hmm. Sometimes I want to hit my boss. I joined his small company quite a while ago as a website progammer. It took me a while to get used to working from home. But since then, he has started to do silly and outrages things like not pay me on time, give me so much work I can barely keep up, or simply be rude. But if I hit him, I'll probably be out of a job, and that's not a good thing... =PThus, I haven't yet... ^^"
  9. Well, you can completely forget to take Magus, so indeed, if that happens, and you lose Crono, then you can finish the game without them. I rarely play without Marle, for the need of a healer. But I confess, without either Crono or Magus, any of the many places you can fight the final boss is hard. Frog's not too bad as you mentioned though.
  10. Ah, I know them. My favourite song though, falls under another classical metal/symphonic rock band called Nightwish. Dark Chest of Wonders, End of All Hope and Kinslayer falling under my favourites. Oh, and seeing as everyone is posting lyrics, here is Kingslayer's lyrics. Pretty dark stuff.
  11. Not to mention the amount of replays it can take. It has over 12 endings presumably,each one very different. You can even finish the game without Crono himself if I'm not mistaken. CT might be near to one of the best RPG's of all time, not just of the SNES. It has a very interestings story, brilliant battle system, and even cool graphics by Akira Toriyama, creater of Dragonball. Truly a perfect game.
  12. Well firstly, you will need a character that develops. FPS is much more interesting when the story takes one deep into it. There should be betrayal, that always works. >=D Anyways, you didn't really give a lot of information. That description is kind of mellow, and vague, and could be any game. Thus, give more backstory, then I'll tell you what I think.
  13. As you can see, be yourself is the general opinion. It makes sense though. If you constantly try to be someone you are not, you will simply walk face flat into a wall of hate from somewhere else. Especially if you leave friends behind to make new ones. That just makes it more difficult.I hate the popularity contests. It makes me tired to remember the days when I was in highschool. I never even tried to be popular, but those that were, were quite irritating sometimes. Thus, dare I say, if you are not, don't become the enemy. =P
  14. Hmm. We have 5 cats. Almost all of them are completely crazy. The one attacks anyone that walks by too near to her. With her claws. Or teeth. She's evil I tell you. One of the others are completely addicted to food in a bad way. Whenever my mother (who feeds him usually) only even starts in the direction of the kitchen(where he is usually fed), he will rush to the kitchen and wait for her to arrive, despite the fact that she might not even be going there. =P
  15. Why mask it? Can't you just point the domain to the DNS servers of Trap 17, and thus set up the domain?
  16. I live in South Africa. A small country on the Southern tip of Africa. =P
  17. ... This is indeed an interesting subject. Firstly, I must admit, the Bible's way of saying things is often in indirect and riddle-type. It is a hard to understand book, and thus, it is obvious that one cannot understand everything that is said within it. This said, I agree with the idea of obeying your parents making you live longer. Whether it is an act of God, or an indirect act, it still means something. I think that is the crux of the subject.
  18. Indeed. These scams run everywhere. I remember a friend telling me about a similar type of message sent over PM. Why the hell would they send it over PM? This is something that must be worked with carefully.And no, no one will EVER give you that large amount of money for simply "corresponding"...I remember another E-Mail I've received. It was presumably from Paypal, asking me to click on a link to reactivate my account, because they locked it because of some kind of credit card activity that was suspicous. Note : I don't have a Paypal account.Thus, I found it quite funny. Especially when I saw the From mail address in the headers were : noreply@paypaI.com. That I is so well placed. XD
  19. Eh...Well, anyways, I had trouble with them. I registered, but my account was never created after it said it was. When I tried to log in, it rejected my username. Then, when I asked for help, they told me to wait for servers to settle. Later I heard it had nothing to do with the servers.
  20. Well, I thought I'd look up its stats. It seems to be a quite decent phone. It has nice features, office applications, and it has a nice large screen. I see quite little wrong with it, except maybe for it's Stand-by battery time.
  21. Heh. I hate defrag sometimes. My problem is usually that I can't defrag, because I don't have enough space open on my harddrive to effectively do it, thus, being quite useless. =P
  22. I'd like to make mention that this is in fact no more than an advertisement. I can't remember if it's illegal. But here's the proof. =P http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Besides. I find that forum offensive.
  23. I beg to differ. I feel that there is nothing wrong with children having fun on a computer. You are now judging their fun with your fun. But you lived in a age (or I am assuming so, if not, let's assume that's what you mean by box castles) where computers didn't play such a big role yet. Thus, there were many other things to occupy the minds of the young ones in that time. But, this generation is still not like that. I know many people that isn't really a box-castle building type, and who plays online games. But that doesn't mean they don't have manners. That doesn't mean they aren't having fun. In fact, what you are insinuating is that they aren't having your type of fun. And that is a biased and unsubjective conclusion. Granted, young people of today, even down to eight and nine-year olds, have computers to occupy them. But that doesn't mean its wrong. Just because they don't build castles out of boxes, doesn't make their version of "fun", less fun in their eyes. Thus your last statement is invalid. I feel it is wrong to assume them to become "bad people" or whatever it is they are supposedly going to become because of the way they enjoy themselves. This seems more like the opinion of an older generation that cannot accept change.
  24. Well, mine's not as good as the above one, but I thought I'd enter for the fun of it. ^^
  25. Indeed. For a full list of characters, refer to http://www.smashbros.com/ There you will find the complete list. I'm really happy about one of the secret characters that they did add in the end, and I will continue to use. The stage builder is a great addition to the game, and will defenitely keep the people busy. Of all the games that is coming, Brawl will probably be high on the list of most wanted games. It combines party-game with fighting game, and features all of your favourite characters in one game, with the glamarous and colourful graphics of the Wii. I can't wait. =D
