  1. Who has played Duke Nukem 3D???? It is one of the oldest 3d game ever created in 1996(not sure) by 3DRealms. The final game of them is still pending release. It is been 12 years since the release of the Duke Nukem 3d game. And now on the verge of releasing their final Duke game, Duke Nukem Forever, they close the company!!! Reasons are that they are in a budget crisis. Just visit 3drealms forums and you can see their members screaming and protesting. those guys have been members of that forums for almost 12 years since the release of the original Duke 3D game.Some believe that it is more of a publicity stunt. They could release the game and open the company again saying "3DR to close, only one man can save the day... and he's all outta gum!".Overall, there is been many talk all over the net about this issue. I mean no company is mad enough to close it self before releasing their final product. Even after knowing that many people have waited 12 years to play the new game. I too think it is done to get more publicity.Any more news on this is very much appreciated.
  2. I am searching for a rpg like oblivion. Can anyone suggest anything???The game must be a medieval and magic game with old weapons and stuff as well as magic. The map should be huge with many places to freely roam, with villages, castles and do many quests, go treasure hunting etc...A game where the player can freely roam, do additional quests, buy weapons and other equipment, level up.I have played oblivion as well as fable. Can any one suggest any games like these?????
  3. Hey guys, goes anybody know any private servers for lord of the rings online??? places where you do NOT need to pay to play the game?I saw some youtube videos and it seems the game is awesome!!! much better graphics than world of warcraft, because world of warcraft is more like cartoon graphics. Hobbiton is very beautiful with vast plains and mountains just waiting to be exlpored.If any body know anything about free servers, do share them!
  4. I have a nokia 5320 xpressmusic. Firmware 4.18.I bought it because its made for total entertainment. Its basically music + games. Just what i wanted all along.
  5. Have you read the God Slayer Chronicles by James Clemens??? There are 2 books published for now which are Shadowfall and Hinterland.The plot is really well planed and the characters are very alive.It is a fantasy fiction book with magic and medieval stuff. If you like lord of the rings, you should take a look at this.
  6. Hey people, how much do you guys or your parents spend on your education from preschool to your university graduation?????For me its FREE!!!!! Yup, Sri Lankan education from kindergarten to university graduation is totally free which is actually funded by the government it self.But of course out of all the people, only a handful is selected for university and the school advance level final exam which is the gateway to campus is ultra tough and very competitive. If you are replying to this topic please state the amount you guys spent on your education. Just a rough value is enough.
  7. For me the best OS to play games is Windows Xp Service Pack 2.It almost never crashes during a bug in a game. Even if it does you can always switch to task manager and end the game process.You also can remove start up programs and save as much resources as possible for games. And besides many games work without a problem in windows xp. You can easily assign, re size or remove the pagefile as well.What I hate about Win xp is the refresh rate problem where it gets stuck at 60Hz no matter what you do to make it go higher. In some games like Call of Duty 4 you can definitely see the difference of 60Hz and 75HZ such as the terrible mouse lag.As for vista it clearly wastes too much ram and other resources. It's clearly not made for gamers.But overall windows xp is much better. But I wonder how windows 7 will be for gamers........
  8. I too does not see any links. And 500 EUROs is NOT FREE. I am in sri lanka and I get Totally Free education from primary school to graduation from university. NOW THAT'S FREE. It is like a law of the country for children to have free education.That is why Sri Lanka has some of the world's toughest exams. Because the competition is very high.
  9. Yes I agree with Litchy. These so called survey site are such a pain in the neck. These guys don't even offer good surveys. The kind of site like these survey sites are the ones about do-offers-and-get-rich. ALL SCAM. I tried a lot of them. They have very few ads to click so you can never actually reach the lowest payment threshold. They are just a waste of time.If you need some internet money, the best thing is trying google adsense with a good web site or a blog.
  10. Well it depends. But I would really like to meet some real aliens. May be I could go and live on their planet. Who knows! That way I DON'T have to come back.But considering the possibility that I would never ever return to earth again, I would like to go there when I am quite old as 50. That way half of my life will be spent here on earth!
  11. Yes of course you can run call of duty on your computer. I finished cod 4 and you will be surprised to find out my specs.Here they are,CPU - 2.8GHzVGA - 256 MB Ati Radeon, 9550 8X.Ram - 384MB. Yes dude! only 384MB of Ram when I played cod 4. Now I have 756MB. Still not 1 GIG:( But of course it did not work on full detail and anti aliasing for me but when I start to play I kind of forget about the graphics part. But your computer specifications are enough to handle cod 4. Hey, once you finish single player, don't forget to play multiplayer as well. It is totally different than single player and is much more fun too.
  12. Recently there has been a big breakthrough in the fitness industry about cardio exercises and Interval training. Which burns more fat? Well, According to the latest research High intensity interval training burns more fat than doing cardio exercises for a long time.High intensity interval training is doing high intensity exercises. Instead of the long slow boring cardio, you do exercises with a lot of resistance during a lesser amount of time. This seems to be much more effective in burning fat.State your views on this.
  13. The methods of studying varies from person to person. The best way for me is this.1) First read the chapter you are about to study lightly. Just scim over the pages and see what this chapter is about.2) Then read paragraph by paragraph one at a time. Understand the meaning of them clearly.3) Now close the book and take a piece of pen and a paper. Then in point form write everything you can memorize in the paper as a short note.That is it! You are done studying. The next time you are studying just read that short note and you will be able to remember it for a long time. At least this system works great for me.
  14. Hey this sounds awesome. I finished GTA san andreas a long time ago, but this is something I should definitely try out. Thanks for the info dude.
  15. I live in Sri Lanka and I changed my school after passing my Ordinary level exam. Leaving my older school which was Wesley college was once in a life time experience. Well, actually I took my leaving certificate, came to the gate, turned around and looked at the my school, then turned back and walked through the gate for the last time. It wasn't that hard.
  16. Well there are many ways you can earn from your web site. If you get a lot visitors try adsense. Put the ads above the fold. That is the part of the site which one can see without having to scroll down. It dramatically improves the click through rate. It is proven from research.But if your site is about some definite topic like a niche, such as weight loss, or internet marketing try affiliate marketing. Sign up with clickbank.com and sell other people's stuff. You can get a huge payoff if you can do affiliate marketing right.
  17. Bidvertiser is good in terms of payment options as it supports paypal. The paying threshold is low too. it is $10. Once you get $10 you can transfer it to your account. Of course this is if you are a publisher.
  18. Yes I agree with the above post. Google adsense is reliable as it is done by GOOGLE. Adbrite on the other hand is not that good. I am sure that I have seen adbrite ads as annoying pop-ups. Google adsense does not allow you to use pop-ups to show your ads. Besides Google adsense has a lot of advertisers and thus the competition among them is high. So the amount of cash you get for one click must be a lot higher when compared to adbrite. Another thing is that a lot of bigger respected brands use Google adense for their advertising purposes and therefor they pay a lot. So you get a lot of cash!Bottom line. Google adsense is definitely better than adbrite.
  19. Can I transfer those $25 to my paypal account? I know that they are competitors but new money exchange systems are not accepted by many sites. I want to register a domain in godaddy.com but they accept only paypal.
  20. Hey guys. If height is strictly genetics-limited, how come basketball and swimming like activities helps people grow tall. Look at basket ball players. I am not any genetic specialist or any one like that. But I think exercises like stretching exercises plays a major role in one's height.Many encourage short teens to do swimming and play basketball. Is this a myth or do these stretching exercises really help a person to grow tall? I for one think that they do help a lot. But some people are who does not do any kind of out door activities are some times tall. They may be genetically gifted or some thing.
  21. When it comes to anti virus softwares everyone thinks differently. Every one's opinions are different. Well, here is what I think.I have tried McAfee, Norton, NOD32, and Kaspersky. Each one has ups and downs. McAfee consumes a lot of cpu resources like RAM. Norton is same. NOD 32 is not that good when it comes to identifying viruses. Kaspersky is again like a combination of NOD 32 and McAfee.Now I am going to try AVG 8. It is the new version and I hope that is better, because every one recommends AVG over many other virus guards.
  22. Here is how a search engine works.There are 5 parts that make up a search engine. Spider - This program downloads web pages just like a web browser. The spider does not take images (or like media) in to account. It only downloads the html version. Crawler - This program finds all links on each page. The crawler follows these links and tries to find documents not already known to the search engine. Indexer - This component parses each page and analyzes the various elements, such as text, headers, structural or stylistic features, special HTML tags, etc. Database - This is the storage area for the data that the search engine downloads and analyzes. Sometimes it is called the index of the search engine. Results Engine - The results engine ranks pages. It determines which pages best match a user's query and in what order the pages should be listed. Web server - The search engine web server usually contains a HTML page with an input field where the user can specify the search query he or she is interested in. The web server is also responsible for displaying search results to the user in the form of an HTML page. That is how a search engine works. So what matters is the html page rather than what we see in the browser in terms of SEO. A great book is SEO MINDSET. Find it and read it.
  23. I have this strange virus on my computer and McAfee does not detect it. It does not do anything harmful. What it does is that, when I am going around 'my computer' and accessing files I get this very annoying message saying "your computer has a major virus. Please click yes to download the antivirus".It just pops up when I am in 'my computer' and when I am in 'windows explorer'. When I click yes they tell me to buy this antivirus program which I think is completely crappy.Even McAfee does not see this bug as a virus as it does nothing harmful to my computer. But it is very annoying and I do not know how to delete it.Is McAfee a good antivirus program. I have tried Panda, NOD 32, Norton and Kaspersky and have finally settled with McAfee because I think it is good. Is it really good?What is your opinion about the best virus scanner? Does anybody know how to delete this annoying popup alert?
  24. There is a another site which give free domains. You just have to complete their offers. Don't worry because the offers aren't big ones. You just have to click on some links. I think that is how they get their money. We click on their ads and then they give us a domain. This is a top level domain. You can get .com domains. Here is the link http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I am a member their. So I get more points for referring some one to this place. So please use this link to become a member their. It won't hurt any body now will it? [Referal-free URL http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/]
