  1. Wow that seems like a lot of trouble to go through just because your car got towed. I do not see why they towed your car in the first place. At my school if someone's car is in the wrong spot they say over the intercom to move it. If they don't move it then it is towed. I think that when people have cars towed they need to be responsible enough to know where it went. Sorry about your car and I am glad that you got it back.
  2. For some reason free web hosting companies shut down all the time because they do not make the profits they wanted, they take the money from ads for themselves, or can not find the money to run it. These are always the problems with free web hosts. You have to make sure to save a copy of your site to your computer in case this happens. Here at Xisto I have only lost MYsql files because someone messed up the whole server (not Xisto's fault in ANY way) but you can feel pretty safe here.
  3. This is a hoax. There is no way that Google would want you to click an external link just to keep Gmail running. Besides I think that Google would use a corporate address rather than a Gmail address to send out such an important message. Besides that I never got that message so there is one more nail in the coffin for this lie. If you get this message its spam and mark it as that.
  4. I am against abortions unless something really bad could happen if the baby is born like if the mother's life is in serious danger or if the baby would have a serious birth defect that can not be cured (like if its lungs did not work very well and had a very good chance of not even living very long after being born). Studies have shown that the baby responds to things such as music before they are born so the baby is a living thing. So if you think that it is not yet a human life it is. I think that every life is valuable no matter how small or young it is.
  5. I do not think that many people except those extremely dedicated to Google will use this unless Google really tries hard to get people to use this. The reason I think they will have problems with it is that unlike many of the services that Google offers (like mail) this service actually has reasonable competition that people can not complain about. I think that Google will have a hard time taking on Ebay.
  6. It is impossible to download the free version of Invision Power Board. If you read the license agreement for free Invision Power Board it says that you can only download it from their website. This product can not be downloaded from their website anymore so it is now impossible to get.
  7. I think that the death penalty should be used. Is it really fair that some one who murders someone gets to go to jail for life when they killed someone? How come this person should get less punishment than the innocent person they murdered? Well they should not. If there it is murder (not self defence) then that person should take what they dished out.
  8. After seeing all of this I am not going to get a single version of Windows Vista. It seems that Microsoft is trying harder and harder to make a lot more money off of a single operating system. With Windows XP having two editions that is fine but seven is getting way too greedy. I am going to stick with XP or switch to a different OS unless this is a rumor.
  9. I think that it is about time that Google offers this kind of service. I think it is good that there is finally some competition so these other companys can hopefully try to compete with Google and then competing to be the best will hopefully make each service better and better until they are all half way decent. Today I tried out this service and the templates look decent and the site builder was easy to use. 100 megabytes of space is nothing to complain about for a personal website that has no major files on it. As far as I could see there were no ads. One of the good things about it is that your pages actually would validate as well (I checked the sourcecode and there was a document type). If you do not like to code your own website or do not need any of the fancy features you get here that is the best way to go. It is far better than Geocities or Tripod.
  10. What is happening to you is not really a big deal. From the sound of it this science fair does not count as a grade. You should not be mad just because you didn't get a peice of paper or your name written on a peice of paper. We have to do a learning fair and it is a big part of our grade. The only reason we do it is so we can get a better grade in the newspaper. Just me you have it better than you think.
  11. The main difference between cell phones and two way radios is where the path that the signal takes. Two way radios transmit a signal out for however long their range is. Any other two way radio on the same frequency can pick up the transmission. Cell phones on the other hand send a transmission to a cell phone tower and then either to another cell phone tower and to a cell phone if you are calling a cell phone, if it is a land line it goes from the cell phone tower to the house. For the most part people can not pick up your phone calls. Thats the difference. Cell phones generally have a greater range than two way radios as well.
  12. I think that television tells the truth about the oldest getting the worst life because in my experience all of my friends say being the oldest is the worste, you can ask my parents the same thing. When you are the oldest you are responsible for your younger brothers and sisters. You are expected to act the best, clean up after your siblings, and get in more trouble than them for doing something. Being the youngest on the other hand is awsome. You get treated better by the parents. Get away with more its awsome. I personally think you are wrong.
  13. I would have to say that Grand Theft Auto is far better than Halo. Grand Theft Auto does not make you either play a multiplayer map or do missions. You can either do missions, free roam, and if you can find where the markers play with two players. Grand Theft Auto's mission are also far funner. They also have a much greater selection of cars.
  14. It is not just girls all people at school are like that. A lot of people that I know like to step on other people to make themselves more popular or make themselves feel big. Do not let these kind of people bother you because you will deal with them forever. The only thing you can do is get some better friends who will not turn on you in one day.
  15. I highly doubt that there are any advertisment programs for people under 18. All of these programs count as income so if you do make any money on them some of it is going to taxes. My guess is that you have to be 18 because of restrictions on sites such as Paypal and credit cards require you to be 18. I think 18 is probably the standard on the internet for anything dealing with money.
  16. I would have to say that Xisto has a better forum than Xisto if you know a lot about computers. If you are like me and you prefer to talk about just everyday stuff by all means stay here. It is probably way easier to maintain your credits here because there is more to talk about. In the future I may move to Xisto if I learn a bit more about the stuff on that forum but for now I will stay here.
  17. Runescape is one of the most awful games you can ever play. The graphics are absolutely horrible, they are two dimensional. It takes a long time to even be any good at the game. The things you can do are so repetative. So many people play the game that the things that were once fun are no longer fun. The game puts a bunch of files on your computer and who knows how many of them are spyware. It takes forever to load. When you minimize the browser window you have to worry about the screen turning white. Never play this game after you realize how bad it is you will have wasted a bunch of time for nothing.
  18. That is really dumb. I do not see why the people who ran the server even let this person ban your account and keep her. If she just did it once that is ok but then if she goes and do it again and they keep her but not you that is really dumb. If I were the person above her I would have banned her IP from even accessing your server. Some people you come in contact with are just plain annoying.
  19. Why do some people get like this. It is just a movie! Even if you yourself were supportings people who have different ways of life there is nothing wrong with that. Your classmates should not judge people before they meet them. Besides that, being a movie the people in that movie might not even live a different life style from everyone else. Its not really a big deal and that kid should realize that.
  20. I am very glad that people can not sign off with their names anymore. Even though it does not really effect me for some reason it really gets me mad. It is possibly because it is kind of unprofessional. Now that people have stopped signing off our board looks even more professional.
  21. My science teacher is not the best teacher on the planet. One day I walk into her class and she hands out our new science books. I figured we would read soon, we read about recycling. The next day she is still talking about recycling even though it was only one section long. I figured ok, you must really enjoy teaching this. The next day we are still learning about recycling and it continued for two whole weeks. In that time we had to count how much of a packaging type were in one isle of our local supermarket. These isles are huge and it took me like an hour just to complete that part of the project. Then I had to interview the store manager. A few days after getting that pointless assignment we began drawing posters about keeping our waters clean. This poster comes with an essay. All this is starting to not teach us anything about what we should be learning. The state I live in requires science students to learn certain things by the end of the year. Two weeks about recycling is not going to help us learn what we need to learn by the end of the year because it was only one section from the book.
  22. I would have to say the best out of thoses two portals is PHPnuke. I have used it before and I was very happy with it. The only problem that I had with it is the fact that you have to pay for the latest version but as soon as a new version comes out you can get previous ones free so its not that big of a deal. I would also say that PHPnuke is more popular so you are going to be able to find more modifications for it compared with other portals.
  23. I personally think that you are over reacting. People have the right to think what they want. In my opinion, since America is a country where people's differing opinions should be accepted. If you ask me they should teach both in schools. The people who support evolution can learn evolution and the people who support intelligent design can learn intelligent design. That way everyone wins and people can learn what they want.
  24. I realize what you are saying. When I first got my internet there were a lot more advertisments that told you what they were about, were not links to scams, and were not completely stupid. Now on pretty much any site that does not have Adsence and other ad programs that actually give you ads that serve a purpose you get a bunch of pointless messages in front of you. I think ads should go back to the way they were.

    Viruses!

    I have had virus problems like you can not belive. I have destroyed one computer and have had to take another one to get viruses taken out of it. With the second computer that I got came internet. I was very eager to start browsing and downloading even though I did not have virus protection (I can not believe I did that). I opened a program and all of the sudden it duplicated the program window about 100 times. I was sitting there wondering what on Earth happened. We took the computer to get it fixed and they had it on some kind of program/scan running 24/7 and it took a week to get it to work again. The other computer had active virus protection but apparently it was not very good. I downloaded some sort of file and I clicked on it. Nothing happened and I sat there dazed. Out of nowhere came a box that said I had a virus. I couldn't delete it, clean it, or anything. Turns out the virus infected a Windows file and the computer had to be taken to the shop. I have been virus free for about two years now since I know more about computers and have gained more knowledge but viruses stink they are the worste thing to happen to computers.
