  1. 1) Yes, you can use any capacity or speed, but you must only use a 2.5" drive, and it must use the same connector. Check your computers documentation to find out what connector you need to use?2) steam will allow you to backup games, then reinstall then on another system with steam installed, anything else (unless it uses a similar client which allows backups) must be reinstalled from scratch, so if you cant find the disks or installers, you will have to buy new games. Copying them over wont work because of the associated registry entries and links into the operating system.
  2. While I can see what you mean about this. I think its unfair to say that Open Source has killed the industry. Yes, many people will use open source over paying for software, but there is so much software which doesn't have an open source equivalent, and so much which is well worth paying for over the open source equivalent.For instance Microsoft office. Yes, you could use open office, or get star office for less, or use google docs. But everyone uses MS office, and most people find it easiest. I use lots of open source software, but I still buy Microsoft office when new versions come out because I like it, and it is quicker to use, in my opinion, than the free or cheaper versions.
  3. Google is an incredibly clever search engine. Its robot is very very clever as well. Google have grown wise to these "google bombs" and if im not mistaken, it will ignore many "bomb" attempts by checking the context of links. links, or course, aren't the only thing that effect a sites ranking. the best way to get ranked, is to just run a good site, and get genuine links from legitimate sites. Google are always going to stay on top of attempts to gain an unfair advantage. They also blacklist sites which use bad methods to gain rankings. Its best just to use legitimate methods and work your way up.
  4. I think its fair to say that there is no good host that is absolutely free. Although the closest thing is Xisto. Obviously its not what people might call "free" because you have to post. But posting on a great forum like Xisto is hardly a bad thing :-)...I gave up in the end and paid for hosting for my sites. Its not a decision I regret, but if you don't need unlimited bandwidth, storage, databases etc, a host like Xisto would probably be ideal.
  5. A friend invited me. I haven't been able to use it much yet, but from what i've seen it looks like its going to be another great service from google.I don't use my google account much, but hope to start using it more so I can try out wave!
  6. I agree with deadmad7. I'm currently running avast and it seems to be keeping my system clean with no obvious performance drops. Another advantage is avast's ability to perform boot time scans - some viruses will infect system files, these cant be changed while windows is running, so avast scan the hard disk before windows starts and removes any viruses it finds.A good antivirus (like avast) actively protects your computer, so if something tries to get in or tries to run, it will stop it, and tell you.
  7. Its difficult to know what you need without more details. I couldn't understand from what you said weather you are trying to make a banner or a chart, or both. If you post some more details (size, audience, content) i'm sure someone will be able to help you.
  8. I'm running skyfire on my smart phone at the moment and cant complain. Its fast and i'm yet to find a page it cant display (including flash)I'm running opera on a different phone too, also fast and displays a variety of content."the best" really depends on you. Just search around for the features you want with a good search engine and i'm sure you'll find something to suit your needs.
  9. Depending on your router firmware you may be able to do this via its configuration. This depends on your router entirely though.
  10. If you plan to make a mobile version of your site (or write a script to change your current pages when requested by a mobile browser) ASP.net has built in functions for WAP, so makes it very easy to make mobile sites.
  11. Install the latest drivers for your video card, make sure your using a recent and reputable media player, if your PC is slow generally the problem may not be caused by graphics, in many cases a total OS re-install will speed things up a lot.
  12. Its possible that you have a keylogger or spyware on your computer that could have allowed a hacker to gain access to you email account. alternatively, the email could have been sent by an anonymous email client - there are tools that can be used to make an email appear to come from an address it does not really come from.Make sure you run an anti-virus/anti-spyware, dont log into account on PCs you dont trust, dont save your password in insecure storage (use an encrypted password store) and make sure all your passwords are unique (dont re-use passwords tat you are already using)
  13. I dont really see why you need to remember the last frame if you are making a toolbar.Just have a link to all the [ages you need the most in the toolbar frame which targets the main frame.
  14. You have to look out for scaams like these, there are so many out there. Use one which you know is used by other people.Getting your money back wouldbe difficult to impossible. If you paid via paypal or a similar service you could request a refund via that, and they would make an investigation. Otherwise its difficult.
  15. If your using javascript, you can open a new shild window with the same paramets, and it will replace the current one. If you want the page to remain but the content to change you can use ajax with a database for that. There are someother ways, but i havent done anything like that for a while so cant remember, look around on a good search engine.It kind of depends on what you want to use it for.
  16. Firstly, if you have formatted the drive, everything on it is gone. In the case of a quick format you could recover it if it hasnt been overwritten, using software, in some cases.I have had a couple of flash drives do that, one of them worked after a format, but then needed formatting again, and then stopped working.I would reccomed replacing it, as if you fix it, it could be unreliable and you could loose data again.
  17. This is what google rely on. I doubt many people actually use their limit. I am using only a few megabytes of storage on my Gmail account, although I rarely use it. They do have huge buildings full of servers called server farms, they have several of them in different locations.
  18. firstly 2000 terrabytes is not enough to store everything ever said. I know you were exadgerating. But, a couple of years ago, it was estimatred 4 exobytes of information was generated every day!I would imagine the google have more than 2000 terrabytes of storage. Their server farms are huge. But most large email or web hosting providers dont have enought space for all of their members, because they know most people will only use a fraction of their limit. Its a feature in some web hosting that the company actually as enough space for all their accounts - a reliability feature. But if they came close to using all of their storage, they would probably upgrade things pretty fast.
  19. No translator works very accurately. This is because writing an applications capable of understanding a human language is near impossible.The translations you get are pretty much word for word, literal translations. The programes are incapable of working out what order the words should be in, because that would mean creating an application which fully understood how the language worked...
  20. While you may find some tutorials which will help you to customise someone elses scripts, its best to learn the languauge rather than attempt to understand someone elses programming...the PHP you would need for user rating and a guestbook is very minimal, and is mainly sone in SQL... However, if you want a spam free, guestbook, and a rating system difficult to manipulate, you should look for a good pre made script. There are numerous script libraries where you can get scripts for free, even some hosted incase you dont have access to MySQL or PHP on your server. Just search for it on a good search engine.
  21. There isnt really an attribute for that. I would reccoment using a hiddent form field with the information. This would be easy, and you would just need some javascript to read from the field. Or you could use javascript arrays. For instance use three arrays first array: HREF values second array: user ratings third array: link label However, making javascript generate links will make it non search crawler friendly, as a web bot will not read javascript. A better way would be to use PHP to output the links, as well as an onover attribute for an event and a variable. Outline of how this would work: PHP outputs links from MySQL database, a link to Xisto for instance could look like this: <a href="http://trap17.com; onmouseover="userrating(http://forums.xisto.com/; the script would work like this: An array of URLs and an array of user ratings output by PHP from MySQL The function reads the variable from the function and find it in the array, then find the user rating in the other array, then outputs it in a popup box or however you want to display it. Hope this helps
  22. Google look for sites which contain high quiality content which is updated frequently. Basically, they want sites that people will visit, and visit again, because whenever you make money from them, the make money as well.
  23. There is so much emphasis on megapixel value!People really dont understand! If you have a terrible lense and a huge sensor, most of the pixels are just random colours which make the image look terrible.This is the case with many cameraphones as there isnt enough space for enough light to reach the sensor. You end up with a picture which looks dark and where the colours are inaccurate and the picture looks less clear than a camera with a good lense and much lower megapixel value.Im not sure about this phone in particular, but everyone thinks that megapixel value equals quality!
  24. Hello, and welcome to XistoIm sure youll find this a great friendly community!I have also found that when searching for information Xisto has ahuge amount of information, and often appears at the top of my searches for information.If you want advice you should start a topic asking specifically for what you want. im sure someone will be able to offer their help.
  25. im pretty sure you can use a phone as a dial up modem. I have an HTC phone, and although I have never used it as a modem, I know it is possible. Try going to settings > connections > USB to PC > enable "allow advanced network functionality Im sure sure if it will be the same but if its windows mobile it should be atleast similar. Make sure you have a recent version of activesync installed.
