Agreed! Hey, if you're better at a sport, show it! That's the perfect way to be able to spend more time together--because the guy will almost always be competitive enough to keep trying. Seriously, guys are only as weak as they lead themselves to believe. However, guys generally do have strong urges, as "sonesay" pointed out. And while I think you shouldn't dress in disgusting apparel, I also think that dressing modestly is a good idea. I think guys respect girls that respect themselves. You may not draw as much attention as the partly-dressed crowd, but you'll be attracting the "stronger" guys. If all you want is sex, I guess that's the easiest way. You'll get sex, but no respect, and no guy is going to really care about anything but your body if that's all you advertise. If you dress modestly and only advertise your character, your likes, your dislikes, etc., any guy that shows interest in you is probably more genuine. I would say that any guy like the ones you described are probably not worth trying to get. And I'm a guy, in case you don't see my avatar.

First of all, do YOU like HER? You spent the entire post talking about how she might or might not like you... but there seems to be no reciprocation.Anyway, just ask her sometime about your relationship. Tell her that you feel uncomfortable with the mixed messages she's sending. It surely sounds like you're uncomfortable, unless I completely misread your post and you actually didn't say half the stuff you did. If she says she likes you, and the feeling is mutual, be sure to bring up her current boyfriend as an issue. If she doesn't, she'll probably realize what she's been doing, and will likely be a little embarrassed or uncomfortable herself, but she should get over it. And you can continue to be her friend with a little more clarity in the definition of the friendship.

Hell is not a place under the earth. It is not some "alternative heaven". Rather, I believe that the Bible clearly shows that the earth will one day be burned as a cleansing act in the end.There are several names for "hell" in the Biblical languages: Gehenna was a place near the "refuse gate" of Jerusalem--literally the city's dump; Hades/Sheol is the grave. None of them is referring to a special torture chamber.I don't believe that God wishes for sinners to burn forever. When Revelation speaks of an unquenchable fire, I take it to mean that no being can put it out. However, It will stop burning when the fuel (sin) is burnt out. It has to; God plans on rebuilding the earth (the "New Jerusalem").Not all sinners will perish in "hell". Seriously, that's what Jesus died to prevent. He was our proxy.

Well, I suppose it isn't exactly proportional, but Xisto IS a free part of a larger business. I would imagine that the more users that are on the forums, the more users there will be that move up to paid hosting through Xisto - Web Hosting/Xisto. Sort of like a "try-before-you-buy" deal, the larger the user base, the larger the group of actual customers. It's just a theory.

What's with the Internet forums?! I can't seem to post there. I'm a member level 1, so it should work, but after I post, they don't actually show up. If they eventually do, the admins will likely be angry at me for triple-posting. I tried to post there twice, then gave up and went to another section (computers >> networks, or something like that). Are they waiting to be approved like the tutorial section does? It doesn't say that anywhere.

I'm looking for a good SMB (Windows file sharing protocol) web-based file indexer and search engine for my college network. There are a couple of sites for that purpose already, but the admins will likely graduate soon, and I want to improve on their sites anyway. These have some good things about them, but I'm wondering if anyone has a "perfect" LAN file indexer. I'm all about free/open source, too. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://www.zaval.org/products/file-search/ http://beagle-project.org/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/smbindex/

I've done calculus in my dreams before. When I awoke, I had to go actually complete my math homework. It reallllly sucked. Unfortunately, the calculus I did in my dream wasn't what I was doing on real paper. If only....

The more registered users Xisto gets, the more the posts pile up. The more posts there are, the more the visitors there are. The more the visitors become, the higher the ad-click rate becomes. Thus Xisto should be able to handle the new costs. I think it would work out.

I'm looking for a good SMB (Windows file sharing protocol) file/folder indexer. There are already two sites one can use at my school to access the campus-wide shares, but both have severe issues. I want something that can crawl and index shares, has a pretty web front end, and can browse hosts. Here are some I've looked at, but I'm still in search of something better: http://www.zaval.org/products/file-search/ http://ffsearch.sourceforge.net/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/smbindex/ I would really like something that is simple to get running, and I also like PHP. I hope it's not too much to ask

I read this on the forum's index page and decided to congratulate all of the admins/moderators that help make this site so popular. And also the community. And for agent, who made this possible. And my family.... (I suppose I probably took the awards ceremony analogy a bit far.) So congrats! P.S. I really need to get back into helping raise those numbers. I haven't posted for a while.

As far as free forums are concerned, I like phpBB. I use it on a site, and it's very user friendly, with a HUGE community to help you out. It's a quick install, and is definitely worth trying, in my opinion.

The entry-level DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera is a good one. I'm assuming you don't want the hassle of film (despite its slight advantages in image quality), and I'm also assuming you're beyond "point, click, print." I would recommend the brands Nikon and Canon. I've used room2593's camera, and it's decent, especially for a beginner. If you are one that enjoys manually setting everything, the Sony's manual focus is a pain. The image stabilization is nice, though.For the average person, I would say the Sony is a good idea. If you plan to do more in the future, I would say don't touch it. And you'll not go wrong with Canon or Nikon. From everything I've found out about DSLRs, they cannot be beaten for quality.Perhaps if price is a large factor, I would go for a point-and-shoot. Canon and Nikon are still excellent choices. I've had great experiences with both.

Nice. Anyway, yes, room2593 has a good point (and not just because he's my roommate). Natural mutation has NEVER been shown to IMPROVE anything. The definition of "mutation" as I learned it in high school biology, is pieces of chromosomes switching or getting thrown out during cell division. That means that the end product is only ever <= (less than or equal to) the the beginning amount of DNA. How many more chromosomes do we have than single-cell organisms? (Words "single-cell" may help you out.)

Those stupid humans!!!!! When will we see the last of them?!Yeah, this reminds me of that time... times... every week when some idiot pulls a fire alarm or puts metal in a microwave here in my dorm. What is it with people wanting to wreak havoc with others?!

Wow. You have no faith? The Bible says (in Hebrews 11:1), "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen." Webster says So you do not trust anything or anyone ever? I've never actually seen the structure of an atom, but I'm pretty sure it has electrons, protons, and neutrons. I've never seen air, but I'd be left wondering what lungs are for if I didn't believe in it. On your idea of death, though, I somewhat agree. Death should not bring us fear (maybe the fear of what will lead to death should, though). I think that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy said it well: On yet another note, why is this topic in "health"? Perhaps it should be moved to "religion" or something. This topic is not about death, rather about the "after-death".

Well, I've had the same experience. I use the Mac screenshot utility all the time, and I've never had it save to anything but PNG. However: I found this at macrumors. If you follow the link you can find more helpful information on the subject. It seems to me that you probably have 10.3 if you have been the only user of your computer, and you'll need to use one of the utilities mentioned.

First of all, what are you trying to say? Your sentences are a bit broken and out of order. Secondly, if you are trying to say that evolution is a fact, I adamantly disagree. One cannot PROVE the origin of the universe. This is a fatal flaw in many a "scientist's" thinking. I mean, if evolution is proven, how come it keeps changing? I remember the days when the Big Bang was all the buzz. Now it's whatever you want it to be. If I wanted to believe that life started when two iron atoms collided (never mind where the two atoms came from), the scientific community would applaud my creative thinking and celebrate my membership to the cause. However, as soon as I even whisper the words, "Intelligent Design," I get stones thrown at me from every direction for being a religious fanatic. They are BOTH THEORIES!!! I don't care how much evidence any theory has--it isn't fact. It isn't proven. You can only prove what it's not. And neither evolution nor creation has been disproved. They both have an enormous amount of evidence to back them up, but they are still theories. Evolution may be taught as fact, but let's remember that the scientific community has been wrong before. On a slight tangent, universe origin and morality are very similarly dealt with. Anyone can have his or her own beliefs and will be accepted, unless religion is part of it. Who decided that religion makes people less credible? I would think that people should be able to see that people choose religion based on their own beliefs and do NOT choose beliefs based on their own religion. People weigh religion and find that it is believable, check it against sources, and decide what to do. People weigh beliefs, and make sure their religion is in check with what their true values are. Otherwise, the search begins again. And by the way, I am a creationist. It makes the most sense to me, and evolution seems far-fetched. That's my own opinion. And I'm not a religious fanatic; I weigh the possibilities every time I see a conversation like this. I can see why people would believe in evolution, I just don't believe it myself.

The question should be: "Which came first: the chicken or the zygote?" Just to be technical, an egg is only a half-cell. You cannot get a chicken from an egg. You can, however, get a chicken from an egg fertilized by sperm--a zygote. So I voted "chicken" because an egg could not come first.Oh, and OpaQue, the first chicken came before Noah. There was quite a family tree before Noah's chicken. Also, how do you know that Noah didn't have the chicken and rooster on the ark have a zygote together and then kill the chicken for breakfast one rainy morning and just keep the baby chick after it hatched on dry land? Well, do you?!

I always build my own. Newegg.com has some great deals on parts all the time, and I know what I'm doing. If you know how to build a computer, why would you ever look in a Dell catalog? Unless you have some crazy deal, you should be able to build one for less. Also, building a computer yourself allows you to use whatever specifications you want. You don't have to upgrade your hard drive to get the package with more RAM if you don't want to.Okay, I just had to add that it's hilarious that elhadi has 9 spam stickers so far. Why would he do that? It's just kind of funny.

Just use phpBB with a video mod or something. I'm sure they have a good mod out there that will allow you to accomplish what you need. Or try Wordpress or Wordpress MU. I have used all of these, and they are wonderful, as well as free. As for Wireimage, I don't know. I have always thought that having your own website is the best. You can install any open source php program you want and tweak it to your own liking.

Not only is this the shortest post I've ever seen, it got a GOLD STAR from somebody! Maybe someone accidentally bumped the mouse up one and over two from the spam button. Awakashaya is lucky that there is an epileptic gold-star-giver on the loose.And Awakashaya, don't spam! Please. Yes, you're new, and we could tell--not only from your post, but from the number "1" under your name.And welcome to Xisto.
