I have accounts with most of those sites, but hotmail is definately the best - mainly bcause it has a really nice interface.It is easy to set up in windows live mail (a free and very useful mail application). Also the account works with LIVE (instant messaging) and skydrive. Its brilliant you email address is always the same as you instant messaging address, as well as login for other services.Hotmail has a generous 5gb of storage, as well as two different interfaces - for faster and slower connection.But skydrive is extremely useful - 5gb of free web storage!! and the login is the same as your email address, and if you have a hotmail account, you have skydrive as well!!

I dont think its a hoax - its a stupid think to lie about - although stranger things have happened...The story sounds plausible.I heard about a boy who was born with his twin in his liver or one of his organs, and give birth to his twin by secerian...

What Do/did You Enjoy About School?
minimcmonkey replied to TikiPrincess's topic in General Discussion
Wow - This is a cool thread!! I like school most of the time - This is mainly because i can see my friends in lessons that I am not interested in, and between lessons. School is a great place to meet friends - And there is always someone around. Also, I can improve skills in maths and music - I play the piano, and as the school i go to specialises in performing arts, Im able to play music with other musicians - which is fun as well as greate practice. Yea, The reason i stay in school is because I really want a good degree - and school is the only way to get there really. As well as being able to see my friends - I live a fair way away from most of my friends, so school is great for meeting up. -
I agree with you - Parents should teach their children basic morals - right and wrong and such. But not inflict their own beliefs on their kids. And i agree with you about homophobia being wrong - lots of people will say they are agaist homosexuality for fear that they will be thought homosexual themselves. Im straight - but im not a homophobe - surely it is ok for people to like who they want to like. And people should not be discriminated because they are muslim - THERE STILL HUMAN - they have just chosen what to believe in - the same as many people. And I dont tyhink that anyone has the right to tell anyone what to believe and what not to believe.

I really dont think i could live without my computer - It sounds sad, but i kind of use my computer to escape the way ii have no friends. Strangely, having no friends is not a result of being a 'nerd'. Infact, when had friends (they were not really, computer users - Just instant messaging, Social networking, and the odd piece of work) They found me being a 'nerd' hillarious. It was a great laugh!!But no, I couldnt live without my computers. Im infront of a computer the moment i get in.When im not ice skating, or scuba diving, im in front of my computer. (or 'nerding,' as i call it!)But its not just me - society wouldnt work without computers - even large clocks rely on computers so they dont drift, Shops would have to use manual cash registers, TV wouldnt exist. Virtually all electronic devices are controlled by some kind of microcomputer.The world wide web - how would the world cope without it - comunications would colapse.And more and more things are controoled by desktop and laptop computers.NOTHING WOULD WORK WITHOUT COMPUTERS.

We Had A Gun Scare At School Today.
minimcmonkey replied to Mermaid711's topic in General Discussion
Wow... Thats bad... kids with guns - even fake ones.I think that having armed guards, and metal detectors in a school, is going way to far; If there is need for that, then things are going wrong - very badly. And I know they are necesary in some places, but surely it would be better focusing on stopping people bringng guns to school in the first place, than trying to stop them getting inside with them. -
What Is The Best Free Html Editor?
minimcmonkey replied to jjaenagle's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Well in my opinion, notepad is just as good as any other HTML specific programme. The limitations are in the browser.But you could try Textpad - you are encouraged to register, but you can use it for free, just search it, and you will find the website for it.It will colour your code depending on what function it has ect. It also has a list of lots of symbols - the code to enter them (like © is the copyright sign) It works for many languages, like C++ as well. And has tabs so you can have multiple files open at once. -
I dont think a computer can really (not until they have near real brains) be called anything but "it". A comuter is only as clever as the person who created it, It doesnt do any work, its justlie a calcultor which can use a few more functions - you would say a calculator was anything more than an "it". A computer is really just a piece of metal, which with the help of real humans - becomes very fast - but not clever - never clever, it only knows what it has been told to know by the person who made/programmed it.

Dreamweaver Cs3: How To Link Content To Layers/apdivs
minimcmonkey replied to Jasper's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Framesets are often a bad idea - as they are not compatable with a fair few browsers. You would probably be better off making several pages, with the same navigation bar at the top - this is the easiest way in dreamweaver. otherwise an AJAX script is the other option. -
There are many things this could be - But if you are sure its not the motherboard itself, then it is most likely the BIOS.Maybe the motherboard has lost the BIOS files. Im not exactly sure how you can resolve this yourself - but if that is the problem, you should send it the manufacturer, as you could end up "bricking" the motherboard, if you try to fix it yourself.I dont think that the problem could be any time of virus / malware / spyware, as generally these will not destroy the computer, just make it run badly.

1 Terabyte Of Data On A Thumb Drive Yes, a whole terabyte
minimcmonkey replied to Inhuman's topic in Hardware Workshop
It seems that now. some computers store up to 3TB accross a RAID.But "solid state drives" have appeared. It seems that manufacturers have started to focus on the speed and reliability now that they have developped such large storage devices. -
I would suggest that you use CSS to control <div>'s size, then use a 5 panel layout -like HEADERNavigation | Main | Extras FOOTERMost CSS tutorials will show you how to do this - and this makes you pages look a lot beter that using just a table - as usong tables often ends up with everything being spaced out to much because of one image, or everything being the same level - which can look TERRIBLE!!If not, You could use a framet - any HTML tutorial will show you how to do this - the disadvantage being that some browsers do not support frames.otherwise, you could just use a web design application - to do it all for you.

Brilliant guide - I got a "trojan horse backdoor IRCbot" i checked this on the intenet - and it turned out to be quite a high risk virus, I found that My antivirus could get rid of it - even one of the free ones i tried - Althoough I found that wenever i used the free one, it seemed to re apear, and after getting rid of it the second time, it disapeared. Brilliant guide - Those viruses are SOOO annoying

"gamer Buys $26,500 Virtual Land" (from Bbc News)
minimcmonkey replied to wonbin's topic in Computer Gaming
I heard about that. Ive never heard of that game in particular, But a friend told me about a game he plays, i forget the name. But he had spent a lot of money buying land on this game - claiming that in some way he could use it to make money. He also said that a friend (who he met on the internet) had earnt about $700,000 playing the game - CRAZY - yet apparently legal!I think you would have to have no life - whatsoever - or be stupidly rich - to buy that. How does it really get you ANYWHERE IN LIFE??
