  1. I think the new forum look and feel are both great and appreciable, but with everything new something old becomes gold, and by that I mean that the new post has now been limited as we cannot set the range as 24 hrs or weeks new posts, just the new posts since your last login. I find it frustrating as you login a few times in a day and the previous posts that were new are no longer shown. I might get this problem solved soon but at the moment it is a thing that I am missing a lot.There are more great features added than the previous version and are to my liking as well.
  2. What a classic this dish is - chilli carne con. Most of my mates love the chickpeas, but butter beans or even cubed potatoes will work well in their place. Feel free to pep up this dish with more chilli depending on your taste. This will make enough for six portions, so simply freeze the extra if you’re only cooking for four – it's so damn good the next day, even on a jacket potato! This is fantastic.To make the chilli firstly peel and finely chop the onions, garlic, carrots and celery – don’t worry about the technique, just chop away until fine. Then halve the red peppers, remove the stalks and seeds and roughly chop. Place your largest casserole-type pan on a medium high heat. Add 2 lugs of olive oil and all your chopped vegetables following which add the chilli powder, cumin and cinnamon with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Now stir every 30 seconds for around 7 minutes until softened and lightly coloured. Add the drained chickpeas, drained kidney beans and the tinned tomatoes and add the minced beef, breaking any larger chunks up with a wooden spoon. Fill one of the empty tomato tins with water and pour this into the pan and then pick the coriander leaves and place them in the fridge. Finely chop the washed stalks and stir in and add the balsamic vinegar and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Now bring to the boil and turn the heat down to a simmer with a lid slightly askew for about an hour, stirring every now and again to stop it catching.To serve the chilli we have our own choice. This is fantastic served with fluffy rice. Just divide the rice and chilli into big bowls or serve in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves. If you don't fancy rice it's equally good with a nice hunk of fresh crusty bread, over a jacket potato or with couscous. Put a small bowl of natural yoghurt, some guacamole and a few wedges of lime on the table, and sprinkle the chilli with the coriander leaves. I love to add a nice green salad to round it off and this is something I relish on.
  3. I had this bad experience of mine with my boyfriend and my niece at Orange Peel a restaurant in Bangalore, which serves the worst foood ever.We went in for lunch in the afternoon, where they have a set menu for lunch. It was around Rs.250/person.First came the salad - Had nothing but lettuce leaves. But with the explanation in the menu i thought the salad is going to be exotic.Next it was time for Soup- It was carrot and tomato soup. Best food for anyone who is sick., reminded me of those days where my mom would force me to drink because i am sick.Then Main Course- there was a choice of 3 dishes one chinese,one indian and one italian.As we were 3 of us we ordered one of each. Have to say though better than the salad and soup, i would still say its bad.Dessert- Time for Dessert, thought finally something is going to cheer me up. But i was quiet depressed when i got it.A small piece of brownie which had like sprinkles of chocolate sauce on it. It was the best among what we had, but still not upto the mark. More like a homemade nut cake than a Chocolate brownie.Overall a very depressing experience, waste of money on the whole, and waste of the day as well.
  4. Again that is a technique the game manufacturers prefer to any similar output technology. At times it feels stupid but then every company patronizes one one or the other technique over another, not that one is better than the other but because someone else uses it we will not policy.
  5. I love the Hyundai i20 which is my dream car and comes with two petrol engines 1.2-litre, 16 valve DOHC, Kappa and engine that generates 79 bhp at 5200 rpm, and 1.4-litre 16V DOHC engine, and a 1.4-litre 16V DOHC CRDi diesel engine that generates 89 bhp at 4000rpm. Compliant to Euro V emission norms, the engine provides unmatched performance and outstanding fuel efficiency. I have gone thtough the catalogs and found that in India, the car is available in seven petrol and four diesel variants - Magna, Asta, Asta (O), Era and Sportz including BS 1V variants. I have chosen the 1.2-litre, 16 valve DOHC, Kappa model for myself.The suspension consists of McPherson struts with stabilizer bar in the front and torsion beam axle with coil springs in the rear. The suspension system is combined with gas filled shock absorbers that makes the dynamic i20 an optimum car for Indian road conditions. In addition, the modern and advanced motor driven power steering adds to the overall driving experience and results in effortless city driving and I find that the mileage though low is a great city car.The i20 has a contemporary and elegant look with its slim chrome finished grille flanked by large air dams, piercing teardrop headlamps, creases on bonnet, and vertical tailgate. The astounding space under the tailgate provides ample space for luggage storage. Along with that, the striking and prominent lines mated with sculpted panels gives the modern and unique look of the car. The i20 is available in a range of 7 vibrant colours. My car's interior is accentuated with new blue LED interior illumination, large cabin space ornamented with silver finish on Centre fascia and AC vents which gives an elegant look for the car. Designed with precision and an elegant layout, the interior of the car boasts of excellent drive comfort. Amongst the many features included in the i20 are chrome finish inside door locks and passenger vanity mirrors. The well-packaged interiors of the car include AC/heating, 60/40 split folding rear seats, tilt and telescopic steering, 2 DIN CD along with an MP3 music system, dual tone beige interiors, refrigerated glove box, a multi information display, and tachometer as standard equipment. The top-end variant of the new i20 comes with fully automatic A/C, leather wrapped steering wheel and TGS knob, alloy wheels, steering mounted audio control, foldable key with keyless entry function, height-adjustable driver seat, and electrically foldable outside mirrors, but I chose not to go with the high price tag, as that would not give me any better than what I need for.
  6. Since when did the nerds declare themselves as civilized people. They are just nomads and will remain so that way.Google is nothing but a similar line living on the excreta of the intellectuals and the poeople out there everywhere. We all should feel pity on Google because they are so much self declared self-centered group that they have the audacity to call themselves GOD. Alas. not Amen.
  7. I love the mathematics books and especially the tips and tricks book on mathematics. Some of them are so good that you just ponder over for hours even when you know the answer due to sheer amazement.I think to have a positive attitude while learning mathematics helps a lot as we are open to ideas and we a re able to visualize the problems better and understand the results in a much better way.The problem that is given must be understood first. If we fail to understand the problem then the task becomes monumental. We just start with the right attitude and try to understand the problem first.We need to explore maths in our day to day routine for example paying the grocery to finding the electricity bill ammount based on units consumed. Maths is everywhere, we just need to fetch it for ourselves and understand it better. We also need to talk more about mathematics with ourselves and friends, say for example give them a puzzle on maths and seee how they do it. Most often you will give the answer an d see them amazed.This helps in social and intellectual building and is a great booster of mind.
  8. I have seen and found that every egg dish if fried eats up a lot of oil and as we all know that eating lots of oil is just killing our heart. Oil makes the food more delicious and easy to cook but egg always absorbs a lot of oil and is definitely harmful.As far as the egg itself is concerned, I do not find it a good food substance as most of the skin disease are related to increase with the consumption of egg.So if you know that you have a skin problem just wait before you bite something made of egg and think is it better to eat egg and feel bad for my skin or not have it and feel good that I have done more than medicines for my skin.As far as the crispy dish mention ed here, I have known about this to be made by everyone who knows that egg can be fried so there is absolutely nothing for this dish to say anything great.
  9. I heard this for the first time. Another chinese dish that I thought is delicious. I am a fan of chinese cuisine but mostly a part timer as I prefer Indian dishes as compared to the Chinese one. Though it is fast and easy to cook the Chinese dish and at the same time there are too many roadside stalls selling the Chinese I alwas love the spicy Indian flavours. The Indian dishes are the best according to me.
  10. How is it that God got the rights to dismantle what He has created. When you create something then you do not just dismantle it, you got to be doing something better or else you are the evil one destroying things.Just imagine someone comes down to your home and damages the door of your latrine and you are in the open pooping and people looking at you. What the heck. God cannot be that bad to put us in such an awkward bad situation. It must be the evil that id doing this.Now if the prophecies of 2012 are to be believed to be true then let us for a moment think why would God do this? No one including God will want His well wisher and follower be reduced or perished. Only disbelievers and kafirs including Muslims must be disowned and then why Peru and Haiti where there are so many Christians.Actually God has gone crazy that is what the prophecy is all about, and had God not gone crazy then we would have seen Christians saved and Muslims butchered like the goats and cows.
  11. I have my Outlook Express crashing every now and then and the above tips did help but the OE just won't run long.
  12. This is nothing new for a multimillion dollar company to do it again. But I was just wondering if he actually made a mess off himself. Why would you change your pricing once you have posted the product and then somebody would buy at one price and then the next day at a different price.Apple will definitely find it as rebuking their system and slapping them for not taking control. And that is why Apple must have taken this action of removing the product in this case the game from its list of products available. You cannot take advantage by selling a product at a higher rate than the previous day just because you got more popularity of your product. You can initially have a higher price and then gradually come down on stick to the original price, but it definitely is injustice and unfair to increase the price after increasing popularity.And as far as Tommy's mouthing is concerned, I ensure and am definitely sure that no company will tolerate someone working under them or taking benefit under them and talking against them in public. There are certain rules that you must follow whether you're an employee or a beneficiary. There is no business without respect and care if somebody is greedy he must be thrown out immediately and that's the normal practice that must be followed a company for that matter.
  13. I believe both are good techniques and earn while you rest type of system but the basic problem is ofcourse the initial promotion of your site. It is a tedious job and is a difficult one as well.
  14. Can you tell me my dear friend why is this particular forum called knowledge supra is available right now for?And if you guessed it right yes for knowledge sharing and sharing information that's important and useful for all of us.And that is why I do not find any reason for any one of us to go and follow each other in Twitter. And of course keep information updated in another site where we can update ourselves in this forum itself.Twitter being a very good and advanced social networking site is good for people who are good for nothing and just want to waste their time chatting and gossiping rubbish. Up here in this forum we have people with a desire to help others and gain knowledge which is very essential in both their personal as well as professional life.I do not say that we should not tweet or there is no reason no meaning going to Twitter. All I'm saying is that to keep updated ourselves about activities in this forum we just need to log into this forum and go through the new messages.
  15. I believe this plan is going to be a great success. Although there is only one database support to host the site many of us can actually have this Hundred MB space which is pretty okay for small sites. Now comes the question of bandwidth, and I find that one GB bandwidth is just 10 times of that to the hosting space. This actually is a low bandwidth allocation, and will result into problems for those who have sites with flash and videos.Nevertheless every small plan has its own advantage and in this case the 10 year span is the biggest advantage should we continue to use it. For registering domain however we will still need about $10 a year and that actually is hundred dollars in 10 years time. If however you are satisfied with the domain name provided free as sub domain then it's not a problem at all.I welcome the administrator as well as the Xisto community and believe that there will be many takers for this particular plan and bring laurels to this forum.
  16. I have heard of"Integrity Coatings" before but I'm not sure whether my judgement can be of any use to you. I personally did not use this in my home not have seen anyone actually doing it. But one of my old schoolmate recently I met, said and talked about it because he was working in that company for quite some time. However he left the company for a great prospect.I was asking some questions about how tiles can be removed or replaced from an existing installation and still not damaged the walls and the floors. He wasn't very keen however to answer my questions as he was in a hurry to replace and collect some of his documents.
  17. I always love cartoons and I am very fond of almost all the cartoon channels and among them one of them is Animex, which broadcasts many Japanese cartoons as well. I have seen many different episodes of various cartoon series but have never been struck to only one of the cartoons. It is just that I do not get enough time now to watch TV.Dragonball Z is one of my favourite and maybe Pok?mon is the best cartoon I love. Naruto and Shaman King are a few that I love to watch again and again. However it is very difficult to exactly say which cartoon is a Japanese one or a Korean one and hence I believe the ones I know are the one that I love to watch.
  18. Don't you think that this is ridiculous to design a website and get it checked in 50 different browsers.If you get an error or the page does not load in any browser of the 50 what do you do? Redesgn you site?Rubbish idea if you actually get to test in so many different browsers. You just neeed to make sure that it works and looks ok in the 5 most important browsers namely, FF, IE, Opera, Safari and Chrome, thats all that will do.
  19. For me this yet not clear as far as the subdomain redirection is concerned. I did think of it once but was totally confused as to how do I make the site load. I however got a trick to work by making a redirection page whereby the subdomain say test.xyz.com redirects me to another site abc.net in a diferent host. But the result is that I am totally in a new website altogather leaving the previous one.I was thinking if there is a way/script by which I can load a different site like in frames and can browse the whole different site yet the addressbar showing the previous domain or subdomain.To make it more clear say the domain I have is mno.com and I want to load a site pqr.com but the address bar will show pqr.mno.com. Any click in the site loaded pqr.com will still show pqr.mno.com in the address bar. How do I do it? I tried iframes and frames but am not successful may be there is something missing in my codes. Help needed.
  20. Like anybody else I would have been glad had this been plan with addon domains. But for me it just seems no use as I do not have a forum that would be google search friendly. Anyways those who have this plan allows you to have this plan for maximum benefit for a single website. And thanks Admin to offer us another excellent plan.
  21. In my opinion there can be multiple universe. And we may be one of the smaller ones, who knows. There are various reasons to say so starting from science, astrology to religion. Going to religion if we were to have a rebirth then where do so many people come from with the ever increasing population. And if humans are transformed from some other species are animals can this also is true that animals are not dying as rapidly as humans are growing. So where does the spirits come from naturally from outside this universe.And astrology says that there are many stars and constellations which influence our lives. It didn't however mention that some planets and stars are a few light years away from us in any yet their effect is instantaneous. If stars and constellations light years and light years away from us can influence instantaneous then definitely how is it possible that two persons born at the same time almost at the same place have complete different life course. The answer actually lies in the fact that few constellations and universe is having more influence on one person then another. These universe is the far-off give instantaneous results.And not to leave science far behind as all the calculations and mathematics will be pointing to one thing that there are forces beyond this universe which helps to maintain the stability in our universe. We always heard that expansion takes place only when external energy is putting to that material. Our universe is rapidly increasing gradually and definitely the energy into our universe is coming from outside and that is from some other universe . Had this not been true than how is it possible that there is something beyond our universe and not is not another universe itself.
  22. As far as the ASP.net is concerned you are not just limited to Windows domain and in case of Php you can choose between both Windows and Linux. If you want to run both the type of script than would you must choose Windows. However there is a catch, you cannot run one code to call another piece of code from another script language. Any calls all references must be within the same language and therefore you will end up in two types of pages where one cannot call another type. Be careful about this because the homogeneity of the website will be lost. In case you choose to have different groups of information together then you may choose the scripts separately independently for each group. It would be a better idea to gradually move the scripts from one language to another mostly module or group-wise.
  23. Die another day and I'm going to swear by it saying that Php is the language for me. There is nothing better than php. I'm saying this because of the flexibility that you get in any Php script. HTML is good when you have a very small number of pages and your content does not change as much . These static pages generated in the form of HTML are very easy to edit and is very good for the beginners. However as your site grows and you want more flexibility in your coding you must be thinking about some dynamic website building software scheme and Php script is one of the best.Php script can be used to connect to your database which may be a full-length flexible database or a piece of text file. No matter where your data is stored if you know how to get them using proper syntax Php script can be a real help. To add to this Php script is one of the fastest script on the net for dynamic websites.Also it is very easy to learn Php script as that of HTML. Some basic knowledge however is needed for coding. As far as HTML is concerned is becoming outdated. However it can never lose its value as it is very simple and easy to understand the basic structure of a website and their webpages.My vote goes for Php scripts when it is the beginners on for the professionals. The look and feel of the website is important and Php script can keep that dynamic feeling very easily.
