  1. The website is not looking professional. But they are promising too much...1GB space, 15GB bandwidth with 99.9% uptime. Interesting We have to wait and see. By the way it has only 45 members registered till now. So we can't expect lot of activity with their forum. And also, if it just needs 3 or 5 posts a month how many of them will be active at forums? It will take less than an hour to post 5 posts...So, most of the users post 5 and will leave. So the inactivity continues....until the forum grows to tons of members.
  2. Ha, One more antivirus topic... OK..Actually I am not using any of these. I am using Avira Free Antivirus. Avira is very light weight antivirus, means it uses very low resources of your system. It won't install all the crap like that comes with paid antiviruses. So, your system will be faster. And daily updates are available. I don't like any of the paid antiviruses like Kaspersky, McAfee etc...Because, free antiviruses are providing the same level of protection, and many free options available for spyware detection and firewall. And also you cannot install most of these paid antiviruses if you have another Antivirus software installed. For example, Kaspersky...If you have another antivirus installed you cannot install KAV. It will ask you to remove that Anitvirus. Once I downloaded a trail version of this KAV and tried to install and it gave me the worst experience that I never faced with any software. I had tried Panda antivirus, McAfee etc (trail versions)...most of them used 70% of my resources. So, I kicked them away...Free antivirues are better in my opinion.AVG is a nice free antivirus except it uses most of your system resources.
  3. I don't think the problem is with your registry. Is your Excel program working normally? Please check it first. Or reinstall MS Office. If the program is working normally but the problem is only with the openwith option then tell me and I will tell you how to add new entries and deleting unwanted entries from the openwith list by editing registry.
  4. Yes. Nokia is the best of all. Battery Life is the main advantage of Nokia. No other mobile can beat Nokia in this, I think. The best thing I like about Nokia is the number of 3rd party applications available for Nokia mobiles. You can easily customize your mobile as per your needs with these third party applications. I love to use these third party applications. Even though 3rd party applications are available for other mobils like Sony, Motorola etc.. but not as much as Nokia.And good tehc support is also one of the advantage for Nokia. Of course, other mobiles excel in some features like Sony Ericsson for Excellent sound quality for example. Sony Ericsson's walkman series is the best in Music. And also I agree, Nokia made some worst models as well, one of them is Nokia 3230, the worst mobile I had ever seen...everything is worst in that model. But I tried some other models and they were nice.Overall, I vote for Nokia for its Cost as well as Quality. My second choice is Sony Ericsson.
  5. Let us go through these steps in detail Yama: Our first duty when we begin to meditate is strengthen our minds to develop greater will power. Yama consists of five practices 1. Non Killing Avoid voilence as far as possible. Killing and destroying other lives is caused by extreme selfishness and uncontrolled rage. 2. Truthfulness The practice of truthfulness genarates great mental strength. Selfishness is the major obstacle to the practice of truthfulness. 3. Non-stealing The criterion to judge spirituality is useflulness. Stealing is an extremely selfish act. So avoid it. 4. Celibacy It is very difficult to follow. So let us leave it. 5. Non-acceptance of unnecessary gifts The next step is Niyama: Niyama is the cultivation of the good habits....to improve the quality of the mind and make it stronger. 1.Keeping the body and mind clean: A spiritual seeker should maintain external and internal cleanliness. That is the body and mind should be kept clean and pure. 2. Being content with the bare necessities of life: If you content with the bare necessities of life, you get peace of mind. The third step is Asana This is the very important step in meditation Asana means a suitable posture in which a person sit comfortly for a long time and meditate. When meditating, sitting with the backbone erect, the chest, neck and head should be held vertically in straight line. If you can, sit in cross-legged posture. If you find it difficult, sitting in a straight-backed arm chair may be suitable. But remember no matter which posture is chosen, The back bone must be kept erect, and the chest, neck and head held vertically in a straight line. The fourth step is Pranayama: Pranayama is the rhythic breathing exercise. If done properly, it may help a restless of dissipated min become calm and concentrated . But there are some dangers associated with pranayama, if not performed properly. Pranayama is a sanskrit word. Prana means cosmic energy and Ayama means control. Collectively pranayam means the control of this energy. But due to the dangers associated if not practiced correctly..let us skip this step guys... The fifth step is Pratyahara: We have five sense organs...Eyes, Ears, Tongue, Nose and Skin...Pratyahara is withdrawing these senses from the objects on which they depend. This is only possilbe, when the mind, by exercising tremendous will power, can control senses. But this takes a lot of practice. Practice:To control your senses, first sit for some time and let the mind run on. Let it be free...Different thoughts will come to your mind and you may think, is it possible to control my mind? But with daily practice you'll find that each day the mind becoming calmer and in few months, your mind will be under perfect control. But we must pracitce patiently everyday... The Sixth step is Dharana It is fixing the mind on an object. Dharana is prilimanary stage of meditation. The practice starts with learning how to hold our mind to a certain point or part of our body to the exclusion of all other parts. For example, we can try to think only of the nose to the exclusion of the rest of the body. If we can do it successfully, it is called Dharana.
  6. Yes, you are right. As per many sources..Windows 7 will use less RAM and other resources compared to Vista. It will also include many latest microsoft applications like Windows Media Player 12, Windows Media Center and Latest Microsoft Paint(not the traditional paint, its all new version of paint). And also, it will come with a new user interface scenic(it is codename). Hope Windows 7 will meet all our expectations. Lets just wait and see....
  7. So, you mean...you just want to transfer your files to another computer using FTP client software? If so there are many ftp clients available for Linux. Just google for it and get one, and if you don't know how to transfer files using a FTP client just post your question and we will explain you. Or, Do you want a PHP program(actually a PHP script) that can connects to FTP to transfer files to another computer? Actually I still didn't understand what you want.. Only thing I understood is you want to transfer your files to another computer...But I didn't understand what is the method you wanted to do so.
  8. Hi 1ngame....Welcome to Xisto. As jlhaslip said, hosting is really good here. You won't get any problems you faced before with other hosts...Best service as well as best support....and the best community as well. Many people are here to help you...come join us...and share your knowledge. Enjoy your stay here...
  9. Hmmm... galexcd hijacked almost half of the trap with his signatures....We need to start our own campaign, else nobody will remember us when voting I think I need to make a signature and atleast I advertise myself....
  10. No, It doesn't count credits. It counts all his previous posts, and those 700 myCents he got was awarded as per the quality of those posts (yes, number of posts is not important, only quality is important)....please check my post carefully. There'll be no more credits in future.....
  11. Your account balance 700 myCents equalts to $7. This is the amount you got from all your previous posts (yes, the amount calculated from all your 220+ posts upto now), not for your one big post. And the amount in your Xisto balance will only increase as you post more, it will never decrease like hosting credits. It will decrease only when you spend them at Xisto - Web Hosting. And about the negative credits, I don't know about that, but may be shadowx is correct.
  12. Hey...I too signed up at Xisto a few days back.....Nice community there, welcomed me heartily... but the only problem is, Xisto forum is not active as much as trap (I mean posting new topics and replies). Everything else is ok.
  13. I have a different idea guys.....How about an Awards committee? They award commitee will be formed by legends of our Xisto community like OpaQue, BuffalloHelp, Saint Michael, jlhaslip, galexcd etc......So, Instead of normal voiting and electing, the awards committee will verify all nominations, and check all the posts of the nominated members. Then the committee will decide who deserves the award and will announce with explanation, why that member should be given that award... Of course, Committee members cannot participate in the awards ... So, if they didn't participate, all new members like us have some chance to win awards ...I bet, with the present awards system, almost all awards goes to them....and a very few awards left for others With the awards committee system, guys like us(new to trap) will be benefited. Nice idea, isn't it? So come on young guys and gals....support my idea....Hey...I'm just kidding.....You guys deserve the awards, because you're contributing a lot to this forum....But please leave some awards for us......
  14. I am addicted to watching sports, but not playing. I love Cricket. I uded to watch every cricket match our team(India) played. But due to lack of time, I stopped watching cricket. But started watching again after IPL (Indian Premier League) started....and I am addicted again
  15. Yes.......I am also a chocloate addict. My favourite are wafer chocolates like Perk, Munch etc... But I don't like milky and other type of chocolates. Not only addicted to eating chocolates but also addicted to giving them to my sisters and girlfriend.
  16. Ha Ha ......It is looking like a presidential campain rather than trap awards .......Anyway tell us guys.....what would you promise for us, if we vote for you?
  17. You can use Dreamweaver for PHP, but just as an editor. No drag and drop features available for PHP. But you have one advantage, when you type php functions or keywords, word suggstions will appear, so you can use them easily and also you can avoid any syntax errors. And its no more Macromedia Dreamweaver, Its Adobe Dreamweaver now
  18. Do you mean, your PHP program will connect to another computer using FTP to transfer files? Or you just want to transfer your files to remote server using a FTP client in Linux? Because, FTP functions in PHP will work same on all platforms. They are platform independent. Please explain your problem or clearly, so that we can help.
  19. No. Its a new version of windows that is currently under development. Microsoft is plannig to release it in 2010. It has many features that Vista lacks...And probably, a new look also. And many hypes are there that it uses very less RAM also. Lets wait to see what Microsoft will say about it.
  20. Wow....Superb car....I like this silver metallic color very much......Hope, I will buy a car like this someday..... By the way, How much it costs?
  21. Hi HappyHippie. Nice to meet you too. Weclome to Xisto. Yes, we have large and friendly community here. Come, start posting and join our community. And about hosting, this is the best free hosting site ever, and all your searching for freehost ends here. Enjoy your stay at trap....
  22. Kotla is very lucky place for Kumble......No one can forget his 10/74 in one innings against Pakistan at Kotla statdium. And you know, he had taken 55 wickets at that stadium. So, we couldn't drop him at Kotla...Mishra has a bright future....he just have to wait... I think 2 spinners are enough for this test. Because Australians are facing more problem with our pace bowlers than spinners. And of course....as per pitch curator, the pitch will be heaven for spinners....But two world class spinners are already in our team....and Sehwag is a part time spinner....so no need for another spinnner. May be batsman is preferable.Definitely more entertainment for us at Kotla....
  23. I like this myCent system very much. Now I can buy my own domain very easily. Actuall I thought that I will never reach 250 credits to buy some domain name. Even though I somehow managed it, it would be impossible to renew that next year with credit system v2 except I post excessively. But Credit system v3 made it easy. Now I can buy my own domain with my present balance. No need to wait for long time. And also, with this mycent system we can buy our favourite package as per our needs.
  24. Hi...Welcome to Xisto. I had seen you in Xisto. Just joined there. Enjoy your stay here.
  25. Yes....You can protect your computer without spending any amount. Most of these free antivirus,antispyware etc... are providing optimal security for your computer.....The only thing is these are not All In One packages. You need to install them separetely. But they provide better security than some paid ones, I think. And about the all in one packages, they are headache and resource hog because they install everything they bundled with. Of course, you can customize them if you are an advanced user. But most users don't do it. So they occupy most of your ram running all unnecessary processes. For antivirus I recommend Avira Antivir Personal. It uses very low resources. Daily updates available. And also its detection rate is very good. My next choice is AVG. Only problem is, its 8th version uses huge ram.For firewall, Ashampoo firewall free is good. It uses very very low ram. Only one running process. Kerio firewall is also very good, but uses more resources.For Anti Spyware, AdAware is good. All of the above is free...and powerful also.
