  1. Without seeing what is really present in your hard-drive, I wouldn?t know how to begin to clean up what was damaged. However, see if you can restore to the day(s) before you enter the website. If you are using Windows XP any version, Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> System Restore This process is self-explanitory. Follow the steps and you should be able to go back to the state of your computer before spyware, or whatever you have, was installed. Now this is IF your computer has System Restore turned on and hopefully it made some kind of restore point. Good luck.
  2. Could you tell us more about your computer? How old is it? Either you put it together or a brand name of your computer? What are the specifications (it doesn?t matter but it?s nice to know)? And when was the first time it started to happen?But for now, I?m guessing that your hard-drive is ready to go. When Windows cannot load necessary files to start your GUI Windows, it?s either the files are corrupted, or perhaps your recent installation of a hardware (or sometimes a software with proprietary driver) will cause it to restart. Let us know more and maybe some expert can reply it back to you.
  3. Darn! And I thought I was one of the few to have this secret space increase. LOL. Here I was thinking that due to my super job, I was rewarded with unlimited storage space. Thank you for bursting my bubble. I should probably find some humble pie?
  4. Oh man?I cannot believe what I saw. Listen everybody; I like freebies just like the next person. But this pirated Star Wars III went over the line! Yesterday, I saw this infamous pirated Star Wars III and I think I know how THE copy was made. By-the-way, I turned the copy in along with the person who had in the possession, who made several copies and selling them, to the proper authorities. I don?t like being a snitch but this was outrageous.The possible scenario would have been this. This pirated copy had what?s called the IC edit time line. This is what directors and editors use to splice films in the old ways. It appears (usually) at the bottom of the screen running the entire width. This is also used to time the sound dubbing and adding music scores. The unfinished movie with this time line would be projected on to a huge screen and the entire orchestra would be placed in the same room, watching and playing back the soundtrack according to the time stamp.Well, the only way the pirated copy had this time stamp would have been during the film development/transfer process. After shooting the movie and finish editing, it needs to be in the medium of film reels otherwise your local movie theatre cannot project it on to the silver screen. I am going to assume that some intern/scumbag decided to take the opportunity during the color proofing process to dub the entire movie. That is just wrong! Lukas sends his most valuable possession (probably a part of his considerable savings) to this film development company and some scum-of-the-earth decided to make a copy?Grrrrr! I hope they catch that person/people!
  5. Welcome, FLaKes!I am one of the moderators here in this forum. And as you can see, we have ages ranging from pre-teen through late 70?s (lol, but that was what I was told). There are rules and regulations, just like any other forums, plus we take things seriously here?under at any circumstances there will never be any plagiarizing, referral links are off limits and spamming will ban you from this forum (well not right-away). Next to my signature, you will find the key links for you to observe. But honestly if you treat this forum and its members with respect and dignity that we deserve, everything else will fall into its place. I promise. And in return, you shall have the same elevating jubilee that we all experience as being the members of TRAP 17. HA! I sound like some ancient mystical being that?s full of riddles. ?You have learned much, yet you have much to learn my Grasshopper.?Under at no circumstances, there will be posting or exchanging of personal information?email address, phone number, etc. Keep your head above the negative hosting credits during the flight and should you experience any difficulties, please feel free to reach out for help. Our pilot for this forum are OpaQue and NilsC. Your co-pilots are anyone in blue color. Brown or Maroon colored names are hosting and black means non-hosting members. And once again, welcome aboard.*DING* you may now roam around the forum?
  6. I seem to recall reading about the new XP powertoy Windows Media bouns pack that allowed Windows Media Player to import/export the playlist. I will have to do some research on that. But in the mean time, try searching for yourself. I believe it was called the "winter" bonus package for Media Player 9+. If Windows Media Player is not an option, Winamp Player can export your entire playlist as HTML. Once you have that HTML you can then import that into your Excel.Cheers.
  7. I agree with you on the definition of forum and topic of vent. After all, we have topics similar to hating school, people in general and jobs, I believe that your topic was bit more complex than the intended audience. Although I did not close your topic, I was in the mist of making the same decision. But, it was better to have your vent in words than with fists. Please forgive me for implying any wrong action (and I know you would never hit a lady) but I grew up with physically abusing environment. And so with that memory I make that statement. And not every member will see your point eye to eye. I can empathize with your frustration perhaps I am at that of age. And as you know, this forum is made up of some of the widest age range I have ever come across. I am simply saying that most of are not married and do not see the beautiful struggles between a husband and a wife to make the marriage to work. Well, perhaps I am assuming too much.I believe that your topic was closed to prevent further slander at TRAP 17 member(s). In the heat of exchanging ideas, you never know what can happen.
  8. I would like to belive that lil_chris knows not to insult but instead lil_chris made an promise to revisit Nani Cheri's site once the English version is complete. It's hard to truly understand the "emotion" attached with our posting words. Although the post itself was out of topic (and yes that's part of spam) no one really cannot stop from making a comment. Stay with topic but I will NOT say, "don't post if you don't have something to contribute." Okay?
  9. I am unsure if this constitutes as a tutorial, as it is more of technical advice in my opinion. I will let other pro-mods to decide. Notice from "whyme: I agree with BuffaloHELP, this constitutes more of something that can be classified as common generic advice, rather than really teaching anyone. I'm moving this over to the Technology forum.
  10. It shouldn't matter the type of registered for the domain since the nameserver is independent from your registrar. Access your DNS control panel and enter these as your 'nameserver' ns1.trap17.com ns2.trap17.com If you are having trouble resolving these names (because somehow your registrar cannot extend that far) try these IP address instead 64.5.44.133 209.152.167.59 *If I am wrong, someone will correct my information And remember, you need to wait about 24 hours for your registrar to update your modified information. Therefore, you won't have an access to your correction until the server update. That is very common. I am moving this thread from: FREE WEB HOSTING ? FREE WEB HOSTING REQUESTS ? Free Web Hosting: Misc. Requests to: General ? Hosted Members Area
  11. Before the official launch of the movie, almost all big Hollywood directors would send out ?For Your Consideration? copies to a few selected panel members. They will also provide ?Private Screening? session in some secret location (lol I don?t know, really). You recall the big controversy with Mel Gibson?s The Passion of The Christ? They invited Catholic Priests and Jewish Rabbis and were commenting on the film even before the release date? I am going to assume that along the line of these fore mentioned processes, someone took an advantage and made it happen. Sometimes one or more of these panel members will throw away the ?For Your Consideration? copy and some low-life dumpster-diver will find it and sell it. ?For Your Consideration? copies are also used to promote for Oscar nomination process.
  12. I am unsure if you already visited this site but, have you tried http://www.uml.org/ ? What about http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ site? Cheers.
  13. I saw a member the other day that had 50% warn. I believe NilsC said if it reaches 100% you are out automatically, terminated without notice, hosting deleted and banned. We, moderators, were told to place warns on members with proper links and reasons to why a moderator is placing the warn. If you feel that it was unjust, you can always ask the mod who gave you the warning for rebuttal. I personally give out warnings if a veteran member posts referral links (which everyone should've known by now that TOS has changed), cuss words, double or triple posts (within 1 minute apart), slander, plagiarizing, spamming...etc. It takes little than few minutes to go over our TOS. There's no excuse that "I didn't know" will fit your action.Please remember that we're not here to baby-sit. We all have to help each other. We'll keep the bad guys out and you guys play hard. Okay?
  14. Zip software is amazing riddles of numbering and sequencing. Now, I am not perfectly clear either but as I understand it, this is how the zip software works (and much like the code for 12 days of Christmas). Let?s take the following lyrics only: On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree. On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. I have color coordinated them to show you the ?group sequence? as I have explained in my post (read it here). As you can see, it becomes bit more clear what group sequence means. So then I would assign day of Christmas my true love gave to me (3, 7) because it appears at the 3rd and 7th position a partridge in a pear tree. (4, 12) on the (1, 5) first (2) second (6) two (8) turtle (9) doves (10) and (11) And the group of 12 is now a list group of 9. Well you get the idea. Imagine if the software can figure out how many time the letter ?a? repeats and sees the pattern, I?m sure this will cut down even more. So in a nut shell, this is how your zip software works?but faster and with better sequencing to reduce the size.
  15. This is true. Actually Windows XP does that now. But it?s minus the all the actual data but it records what was running at the time of the crash. However, according to an inside source, Microsoft has to pay hundreds of hours of man power to sit there and sniff through the error record to find maybe one faulty line error. Therefore, as a personal PC data record, and unless you want to pay extra for Microsoft to figure out only your problem, Microsoft would never look at an error data coming from a personal computer. Microsoft will, however, look at the data error from DuPont, IBM, banks and other establishments that is willing to fork over millions of dollars to unpack the error data and recompile it line by line to see what went on.It is scary that this error data dump is getting smarter and smarter that it can flash-backup the state of your PC. Think about the bandwidth it?ll eat up while uploading?HA~!
  16. Few of my friends have Vonage (you can even see their ad in this forum) and they love it. I personally did not and will not consider because I have my cell (mobile) phone. I knew a long time ago the marketing strategy for these big cellular service companies so I exploited them. I now have 1500 anytime minutes and unlimited nights and weekends (and I don't need text messaging, video and picture messaging, web access) for just under $30 USD. I think that's pretty good.Anyway, I'm getting side tracked here. Please remember that if you experience a power outage, your VoIP will not work. Why? Since the VoIP device is powered from electricity outlet and your router as well, once the power goes out you cannot use your phone. The landline is powered so even if you experience a power outage you are alright. Be sure to pick up backup-power supply (UPS).
  17. Hello WombaT and welcome to TRAP 17. :lol:You will enjoy this forum, I know I am. I found this place accidentally after my previous hosting company closed down without a notice. The services are great and this community will be eager to help you out. Please don't forget about our (and I say 'our' because we all belong to this forum, young and old, gender neutral) T.O.S. also found under this posting. Some rules have changed but it's nothing you cannot handle. Simply, keep it clean and no spamming or referral links. Use proper quote tags and do not plagiarize. Respect each other and opinions and we'll have a good time. Once again, welcome aboard (I should like an airline attendant ) and feel free to contact admins and mods. We are color coordinated: Red=admin, Blue=mod, Brown=hosting, Black=non hosting member. Notice from BuffaloHELP: I should never write anything at 5am... spelling correction.
  18. Ah! Now we're getting somewhere. What if I am not planning to use any of MySQL or anything except straight HTML and images? I have all my files backed-up at my local drive. So I wouldn't worry about editing offline. I am also using FileZilla to upload and cPanel can be used to upload as well. Therefore, it wouldn't make any difference for me...? Thank you for taking the time to answer my queries.
  19. I couldn't understand what you were trying to do. I think you are trying to place another HTML/text page in your HTML page. I saw this code somewhere in this forum but I cannot find who wrote it at this time. A apologize to the author for posting without crediting you. I will come back and correct it once I find it. (or someone PM me if you find it) <object type="text/x-scriptlet" width=100% height="250" data="Your Html File(TextFile )"></object> This simple liner, I was told, that allows you to place another html/text page into your html page. It's a document within the document.I'm telling ya, we got some brilliant codeboys here!
  20. Humm, I am bit confused. So which way is better: getting a sub-domain and parking your purchased domain or linking Xisto directly to your purchased domain? I can see the benefit of having yourname.trap17.com because now you will have 2 url addresses. But is that all there is to it? I have, let's say, http://www.thedomain.com/. When I create a sub-domain named "other", it would be other.thedomain.com? But doing it cragllo's way, it would be other.cragllo.trap17.com and other.sponk.co.uk? Do I have this and understand it right?
  21. I have DSL (fiber optic) and TRAP 17 forum loads slower than any other forums out there. And yes, the shoutbox loads first, then ads and followed by the rest of forum. Is it because forum database is loading/refreshing? My status bar shows "3 items (http://....). Anyway, yes, do whatever you have to do to keep this forum up to provide free hosting! I just hope that the forum loads faster.
  22. It is such a well written introduction that I am afraid that my thoughts on this subject may dwindle your well-intention. However, from what you are suggesting, isn?t the perfect balance between the capitalism and the barter system that makes this world a great democratic society? The basic economic idea of ?supply and demand? is what drives us to get up each morning and face the inevitable truth: we will work until the day we die. And isn?t this part greedy force that drove us out as cave dwellers to a mansion in Malibu, driving a car that costs more than some tuition at Harvard? To give up human history of economic evolution is like asking us to move back to the cave and start hunting for our daily meal.To suffer is nature; a human being cannot be satisfied unless there are challenges that can be over come. And from that strive this human feels the joy of triumph and acceptance that one day it will get easier. We are living in some difficult times. Perhaps we are not living better than our parents and parents before them. And to revert back to the ?old ways? would be a mockery to all our ancestors who fought to keep the revolution in motion.
  23. Do not double or triple post, especially when you started to spam!We appreciate you starting a new topics for us but you are plagiarizing from another site. Even if you wrote that yourself, because it was posted there first you must use quote tags. Read your (and I say 'your' because we all belong to this forum and not just admins and mods who enforce them) TOS and rules. So, NO! We do not like postings where you copy from another site and paste here so you would gain hosting credits. That is selfish. That is spamming.
  24. 2 pup-ups going in, 1 pup-up coming out. I personally loathe pop-ups. It is, I believe, a violation of personal privacy since the site is controlling what the visitors should see, and not the visitor who decides what to see.I was not impressed with the site either. The background is horrible. And the deep blue background with white (not even crisp white) lettering is just an over kill for that site. I do not recommend clicking on the link.But that's just me...
  25. Since we are on the subject of bragging rights...Yeah I got my trusty 90MB. Yes you heard me, 90 mega bytes. HA! LOL.Yeah you thought it was a typo, oh il est contraire mon ami. You see my 486 cannot take more than 100MB. Again, you are not seeing any typo. I picked up this 486 from Salvation Army (thrift store) and I've been using it since. No I do not have other computers (although I am in the middle of making my own computer).
