Is Homosexuality Right Or Wrong? your views
buxgoddess replied to wakelim's topic in General Discussion
Well with a number of posts in this thread there may be very little that we can discuss new about this topic. However I am going to give you some views on what happened today in India. The newspaper article reads "Court rules against gay prejudice" at The Telegraph. The paper talks about the triumph of the much victimized gay community and the country's liberal ethos and today it holds out that Section 377 of the Indian panel code can no longer be used to harass consenting adult gays. Victorian-era section 377 prescribes up to a life term for whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature. The verdict which becomes applicable countrywide empowers the gays, embarrassing the government and enraging religious groups which are determined to appeal against it. Today's ruling has no real bearing on the letter of the 149 year old, Victorian era Section 377 which stays in the statute books and will continue to apply to all cases of non-vaginal sex including involving minors and bestiality. -
I am a nod32 diehard fan. There can be no second opinion for me because with nod32 I detected more virus and spywares than any programme in this world. Kaspersky maybe good but I have very little to say about it. The reason why I believe nod32 is good for me is its lightweight engine. Since we are not talking about Norton, I would not like to emphasise the worst product in the category - Norton. Nod32 has other advantages as well, which nowadays other anti-virus do provide without problems. As our survey already suggested that nod32 is much more powerful and is fully compatible with latest Windows operating systems. Other anti-virus are far behind in their compatibility and usability in the new Windows operating systems. However you need to have a lot of configurations done before you can fully utilise nod32. A no-no for novice.

OMG, this is the weirdest question I have seen on trap 17 so far. as for me I think it's dirty to be without your teeth ever brushed. Firstly you do in the morning are your daily job which includes going to the toilet, brushing your teeth, making your bed and of course a cup of tea or coffee. I cannot imagine a day when I can remain for our without brushing my teeth, it's so bad that your mouth stinks. Oh you will lose your self-esteem soon, if you do not brush your teeth and come in front of others and find yourself in an embarrassing situation with people moving their face away from you. Also as regular hygiene you must never forget to brush your teeth as it gives you such a good feeling, a fresh feeling of your breath. Start a day feeling good and you will feel good the whole day. And yes, late risers in the morning too often forget to brush their teeth before they have anything to eat, because there is too little time for them, even to realise that they even exist or at least important to some people in the world. They are thus lost in their own world in believing that the world is going around in the normal pace. And, of course, you may have a tooth ulcer, or an aching tooth, cavities and pioreah (spelling may be wrong).

I do not completely agree to this fact but to some extent it is true. Once you are in a relationship and the relationship is steady enough you feel relaxed and much comfortable in it. The result is you are in a physical state where your body relaxes and enjoys being in it and you slowly gain weight. If however you're not sick or too much exhausted by your work, you will definitely gain weight. The other thing that works is a psychological factor which tends to make you attractive and the outcome is in the form of physical transformation. To make you more attractive there is more of a hormonal change in your body which directly enhances the fat content or the muscles. Apart from this in a relationship you often go for dining outside and the food you consume does help to gain weight.

The way Microsoft has monopoly over the operating system market, it seems a little distant that Microsoft will ever stop bundling windows. This is what Microsoft is for. Had windows have not been there Microsoft would never be in existence. Now comes the question of market share, Microsoft Windows having a maximum and others trailing away behind. Every 3 to 4 years Microsoft comes up with a new OS claiming to be a better one, but not necessarily. Many versions of Windows failed miserably and yet Microsoft Windows is most popular and commonly used operating system. One of the reasons being the use of pirated version. Microsoft itself did little to stop that. Because it knew if pirated software or in a matter of fact Windows itself is not circulating, the market share would fall, popularity would fall and so its business.

I think Google Street is not a GPRS road tracking system, that having your mobile phones to navigate through the streets. What I believe Google Street is a device which transmits the road location as well as the topology around. if you see the Google maps you'll come across the road map that Google is creating. Google Streets is being used to map the roads. With the way Google is making the project it seems they are keen to take the upper hand in the global positioning system and map. They however planned to come up with an navigation system for our daily use.and of course if you see the picture that is then posted by the first poster here you can very understand said this cannot be a GPRS system, with such a heavy toll on top of the car. Nobody will take it for granted, and it's so ugly to see on top. It however is to strengthen Google maps.

I used to watch a lot of football at one time but I have given up because of my study pressures. I however watch a few matches once in a while. I saw a couple of matches and feel that Chelsia is out of the race and will need a few more seasons to come back to form. and this time I think Barcelona is a strong team than the Manchester United. But with Manchester United resorting to foul play quite sometimes, I think Barcelona will make it to the final podium. I am however not a great fan of Barcelona but I think the team deserves a win this time. With the way Barcelona is playing, an amount of confidence that the team have in themselves, it's just a matter of time till we see the finals.

You can actually run your Windows XP programs from Windows 7 if you upgrade your Windows XP to Windows 7. But I will not suggest you do so right now because Windows 7 is in RC stage. It is still in the evaluation stage and therefore using it will be disastrous because you'll have to uninstall it after a few months. I would suggest you to wait for a few more days when Windows 7 will be officially launched. Of course however I feel personally after using Windows 7 RC 7100 myself, that it is not worth it because of its to many security settings.If you have Windows 7 installed in a separate partition then you'll have to install all the programs that you have in Windows XP to run in Windows 7. This is because an installed program in Windows XP will not run in Windows 7 without being installed in Windows 7 itself. However there are a few programmes which are either portable or they are just a dump of the installer and therefore do not need a full installation. Some of such programmes are Winrar, IrfanView, Winamp, etc. I would therefore suggest you to wait for the final version of Windows 7 before you make switchover. Also you must be aware that you need a potentially fast dual core machine with enough RAM to run Windows 7 efficiently.

I have my fingers crossed about Byet Host. I have an account with them. Before I joined Xisto I used to be a regular user of Byet Host, even though I did not have a domain and was using a sub domain the Byet Host server. I did not have any problems however and my site was up almost every time. Though an occasional glitch once in a while was seen. to have a domain Byet Host, I needed a using my credit card. It was not a choice I wanted even though the service was really good.It allowed scripting and PHP, but not cron job. I needed that badly for my site to run on its own. it was only available through paid service. I realised my script not running in the site the way I wanted, I decided to shift.I went through many sites which allowed free hosting one of them being the Awardspace. It wasn't a bad either just like Byet Host. Eventually I came across Xisto and I'm sticking to it. because I know I need not pay by cash or credit card. My Cent gives me enough to pay for my site. And also there are enough features that I wanted in my site.I just wish and hope that Xisto lives long and continues.

I always wanted to be a good cook and therefore I have been trying to cope for quite a long time. my mother would always come up with new recipes and teach me how to cook. I always enjoyed cooking with my mother. I learnt quite a lot of the recipes and am quite confident that I can do them again without any problem or even my mother's help. It was last summer when my cousin brother visited me. My mother went to our hometown and so I was the only one left here to cook. My father never cooked. My cousin brother brought some chicken and wanted to to have chilli chicken. I wasn't too sure about the recipe but I knew and saw my mother making once. I thought to give it a try. I made a wrong decision. Though my cousin helped me in getting the recipes and other items for making chilli chicken, I made some mistake in choosing what to be added at what time. Everything seemed normal while cooking but as usual the masala must go at the right time. It was such a pathetic one. It tasted just horrible. I still can't figure out what went wrong, which item I did extra. It was spicy though.Next month when my cousin came again my mother was there and I was rescued. Today I know how and what to do when preparing chilli chicken. I made it next time and my cousin was really happy.

A common cold is the most common disease that almost every person faces at least once a year. It has nothing to do about the immune system of a person, but it does when it is about how long it takes to recover. Every season when there is a weather change, we face this common disease, a viral infection. But then it's a matter for some people for whom it becomes a chronic one. Some people have common cold almost round the year, because the immune system is not good enough, or because they suffered from sinus problems. When it comes to medicines, Alopathy comes up with tonnes of them. But in case of Homeopathy, I have always chosen Bryonia. Just a few drops of Bryonia and you are fit in a couple of days time.

Educate People On Cyber Security The need of the hour
buxgoddess replied to longtimeago's topic in General Discussion
Internet used to be a very scary world of few years back. Then came the Internet with much of the needed security. And we're glad that we can do many of transactions and requests through these networks. But as days are going by we're getting deeper and deeper into more problems in the cyber world. There are newer forms of crimes and there are newer forms of threats. Not only do they steal and have threats to our personal information, they also posed a grave danger to our society. Let's take the example of stealing of credit card information. This phenomenon has been the talk of the hour a few years back. Today we don't think about it necessarily because most of transactions are through secure encrypted techniques. We now feel free to use a credit card. However, phishing has become a new threat because we are not sure in which site we are actually making the transactions. We may be wrongly led into a similar looking website and make a transaction which may result into a false bill.Then comes the major problem of free information. You can virtually get every information on the net about anything and everything. This is a great boon for us but at the same time poses another threat. We may be bombarded with too much of information that we can handle. At the end of the day, it just boils down to one fact, that we may not be ready for all the information that is available on the Internet today. The unwanted or the excess information that we have in the Internet is actually a problem for us. Let's take the example of pornography. Make a Google search with some words that you think you should not be using and you end up with the sites that are totally not acceptable in a family environment. But then many argue that there are several software that you can always installed so that they can prevent this site from coming and of course always have safe search feature enabled. But what if your children can bypass them easily because they also know what to do and how to do.You cannot prevent it, absolutely not possible. This is inevitable. There is absolutely no restriction on which site you are considered to be an adult and not even through their disclaimers before you enter the site. It is increasingly difficult to identify a particular website and stop it. Because one you stop another comes up. The problem that we face today are much more easy to analyse given the scenario of broad understanding that we are concerned or talking about a particular section of people. For example our children or office colleagues. The damage has already been done in most of the cases and there are no specific law to prevent a particular website in one country to be viewed in another country. There is absolutely no global boundary. And also the law in different parts of the world are different and thereby making our society vulnerable to these problems. Some countries allow pornography without any problem and it is a taboo in few countries. But Internet is globally available.The only way to prevent problems that relate to our personal security, our social security and our own well-being, we need to educate people as how to browse the world Internet. Also to prevent most of the illegal activities every Internet user must be made educated, how, when and where, what to do and what not to do. The process must continue. -
Why Am Unable To Install Internet Explorer 8 In Windows Xp Sp3?
buxgoddess replied to tinoymalayil's topic in The Internet
It is strange for me to know that you are unable to install Internet Explorer 8 in Windows XP service pack 3. I am currently using Windows XP sp 3 and using Internet Explorer 8. I downloaded IE 8 from on the Windows installation update site. There was no hassle at all. However it to a long time to install. I think there might be a problem with your version of Windows XP. Or you may be using a pirated one. Nonetheless IE8 is one of the best features rich browser. I also use Firefox version 3, and use IE tab. The IE Plug-in helps me switchover between Mozilla's browser and Internet Explorer's browser within Firefox itself. There are a few other plug-ins in Firefox that I think are very useful however IE 8 is now coming up with many more plug-ins. -
I always thought that education was most important and that the intelligence and knowledge that one have he is paramount important in his life. I also thought that if you are intelligent and you have the proper know-how you can achieve most and almost everything in your life. I was proved wrong. Not once but many times.During my college days I came across many opportunities that could have easily been converted into some or the other material gains. Some of them were so trivial at times and I thought we should never think about these lines. They are illegal and unlawful. During my studies and my exams I have done fairly well, but one thing is always come to my mind that no matter how hard you try you need some luck. And that part of luck some of my fellow mates achieved by unfair means. I do not want to say that the it is wrong on their part, but it was apparently not possible for them because they would not study or they do not have the caliber to do so. Many achieved more marks than me. and not to mention my boyfriend dumped me just because he wasn't very keen to be with me because of my very normal lifestyle. I'll never demanded anything from him as gives a something, but he would bring something or the other most of the time and I always had to refuse. It was not that I never loved him or I do not love him now, but he seems to be more materialistic and soon found someone whom he can be with, spending money, flaunting it. He even said that he is going to get a bike just for me, so that we can go around, and spend more time is in the parks and other places. I never wanted them any.To me it always mattered that you have love in your heart and he can always spend whenever we need. During those special occasions when we need to express our feelings for love through some gifts. money is something which you can earn any time and then there is no problem for that because if you have the intelligence and caliber for that you can always earn your money. it's important that you have love. It's also important that you love is not being overtaken by materialistic world. How many of times and realised and felt that you have money but you're all alone. You do not have someone to talk to about your heart. You cannot open your heart out to anybody and everybody and so you need someone whom you can trust and someone who you love. So to me between the choice of love or money I always think it's the love that you need. money can always be earned, but love is very hard to find. And if you have to get love you must always treasure it more than your money because once love lost cannot be achieved back. Because with love your trust and faith all will be gone, but with money nothing goes you can always earn it back.Nonetheless money is always important and in today's world you must have minimum of it so as to leave a standard life. You cannot claim that you are broke and you love someone, because that would mean you love but do not have the means to sustain your love. Money is always needed and it is essential. but love once lost is very very difficult to regain. Everyone of us are in the race for money and many of us achieve a lot of it but at the end of the day we are all alone because we did not have enough time for our loved one and we just forgot to love.

Cut Down The Trees...but Grow Them Faster?
buxgoddess replied to ranperij's topic in Science and Technology
Let us go and see around our neighbourhood and find out how many trees are there. We will be surprised to know that for every man there is not enough tree. We can easily figure out and say that there are enough trees in the wild or in the forest but we know that we live in a city environment where we need to breath. And if we do not have trees around us, rest assured that no fresh air is available. Only parks cannot solve the problem of trees. We need to have them in our own household backyards. But we can always contradict saying that in the high-rises we do not have enough space nor do we have soil for growing trees. Yes, this may be true but we often forget that every time we go to buy a property or we construct a new house or a building, we must save some space to grow some trees not just for the society but also for beautification purpose. There are hundreds and thousands of variety of plants and trees that we can always grow which are really beautiful but we always think for space. How to utilise the minimum amount of space to get maximum utility. There is a study done which shows that the amount of paper that we waste in our normal activities in office or at home a lot of plants and trees can be saved. Also we have gone into the habit of use and throw, and therefore everything is used without considering that this can be reused. Most of the products that are natural are being used to extinction. The direct result is going to be a greater demand for felling of trees and natural resources. We must therefore try not to use products that would greatly deplete forests and trees.Start as an initiative and grow more trees as there will be some people who will never contribute to this as they are too busy with their materialistic world. -
I remember the first time it was during my college days, I with a few of my friends were in the disc. It was cold actually and we all decided for the disc because we thought it would be exciting. Nonetheless two of my friends were heavy drinkers, but I never wanted that to happen in the disc especially because my cousin brother would frequently visit this particular disc. As usual I ordered lime, and my friends had their own choices. Half an hour down the line we went to dance along with few of my college boy friends. I am not a good dancer but everybody wanted me to be easy with dancing. Steve was drunk, so was Niloy. Both of them headed for me and by the time I realised that it was probably too late, they already had a quarrel. I decided to leave the floor, and be in the safety of my other girlfriends. Steve joined in and ordered for another lime for me. I accepted because I was a bit tired by then. But when I got my lime, and sipped it, I felt it was not what I wanted. Absolutely true, it was vodka. I absolutely said nothing, left the glass down and said I was not feeling well and wanted to go home. I had no choice, if I stay back there would be more problems, and I never wanted them to be because of me. Unfortunately, my cousin was not around and I asked Pamela to go with me home. I was a bit scared if my cousin saw that he would inform my parents. I never drank in the party again but what Steve did to me that night I was ready for anything that would come my way and make sure that I'm not in trouble. I wish the world to be a better place and people just don't think with their heart and are sensible to the liking and disliking of the people.

To have a paypal account from Bangladesh and to manage a bank account from there is not possible. however if you know someone who is in the US or the European country can help you by registering a paypal account in his name. this is to say that he will operate the account on your behalf. of course the person must be trustworthy or at least known to you. There are situations where someone else operates in the paypal account and transfers the money through Western Union to the actual owner.

Now that's nice of you to recommend a movie for us.We are at a loss as to which movie to watch, but then all people do not like the movie another may like. So give some hints as to what type of movie it is and what to expect from the movie.Is it for a family or with spouse or with girl friend and above all is there any thing that we need to learn from the movie.These days movies are released as if just selling hot dogs and are virtually the same.

How Do I Reduce The Speed Of Internet On Another Computer?
buxgoddess replied to Baniboy's topic in Computer Networks
No way that I know of , but heard of some registry tweaks in Windows XP wherein you can actually control the speed. I suggest a few readings in these sites http://www.speedguide.net/articles/windows-2kxp-registry-tweaks-157 http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ The second link is the one that is quite interesting. Try these in the other way arround to slow down the pc. Your internet speed is slow, want to tweak internet speed BUT your operating system is Windows XP Professional. By default, the Packet Scheduler of Windows XP Pro limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default. That packet is QoS ( Quality of service) for Windows XP. This packet may not be often used, so Why dont we change the setting to tweak internet speed.Determines the percentage of connection bandwidth that the system can reserve. This value limits the combined bandwidth reservations of all programs running on the system. If you enable the setting, you can use the Bandwidth limit box to adjust the amount of bandwidth the system can reserve. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the system uses the default value of 20 percent of the connection.But If a bandwidth limit is set for a particular network adapter in the registry, this setting is ignored when configuring that network adapter.Here step by step to TUNE UP your bandwith limit in Windows XP > Group policy :1. Go to RUN and type : gpedit.msctweak internet speed - gpedit.msc2. Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Schedulertweak internet speed - QoS packet3. Double Click > Limit Reservable Bandwith4. Limit Reservable Bandwith > Enabled , Bandwith limit 20% change to > 0%tweak internet speed - change bandwith limit5. click OK, and Restart your connection. -
What On Earth Is Time? Can you explain it to me?
buxgoddess replied to freenrg's topic in Health & Fitness
TIME - True Information Measured Endlessly.It just is something that is omnipresent and is absolutely not the same for all. We say that the clock ticks the same and all time is the same - scientifically. But spiritually, Time is absolutely always different for every being. The act and result always differs even if the act took place exactly at the same time.The other thing that needs to be understood for better understanding time is SPACE. As time and space runs parallel, oblique to each other. As if two right planes in three dimensions. For example say we do something now in a part of the world and at that exact moment in a different part of the world or universe the same thing is done, the outcome differs immensely, just because they differ in space, different locations.Weaving into it is the concept of forces, the forces we are not able to understand or are partially understandable in the domains of both science and spirituality. We some believe in horoscope while other only believe on facts, but the forces always show their strength and are far more, unmeasurable times stronger than the human capacity. -
I heard in Sweden and Finland there are universities that provide free education. The catch is that you earn by working at various places and pay the tuition fees from that money, so you do not spend anything from your pocket itself. The university provides you with work and earn and learn at the same time. The course however are made so that the time required for study are available at disposal, else too much of pressure of work and study will create lots of problems.then of course you need to have visa and a valid passport to be in that country. You also need to show enough bank balance so that you can meet the expenses( which you will of course earn). Getting a visa is a tough ask but then it not impossible.

I have my differences in opinion with the previous authors just like anyone else will have their own. But then one thing is for sure, we are here for a purpose and often in the world with material goals leave us scattered an lost for a while but we ultimately manage to get to our actual goal sooner or later.Lets take the example of the sages. They are always in stride for achieving enlightenment and they achieve by techniques we general people find hard to follow on daily basis. There are obvious reasons for them and one of them being we wish more than what we can handle or are capable of handling. Coming to if we know what we are for, most of us don't because we do not know how much we can handle or should handle.The very purpose of life is again hidden in the tasks that we do or perform and thus our purpose is our life itself. We become slaves of the material world and thus do not follow the path we are meant to follow and thus realize more sorrow and misery for all.

The theme part will always be great but the indexing and the amount of RAM and HDD space required is just a botheration for anyone using Windows 7.I had a hands on the beta release and can say the it may be faster if you disable quite a few of its background services which are a real nuisance.There may be other issues as well but you never know what the issue is until you are a victim of the crash Microsoft is going to give you.

Very often when you are not sure if the thing that is going around you is a reality or just a manifestation of your thoughts you tend to think that you are daydreaming. The actuality may not the the case however but you start to believe that what you feel and see around you is a dream. When things are too good to be true your rationality questions your trained knowledge and you are trapped in your cognitive thoughts.Very often we realize we are dreaming but in actuality we are not.And there are people with night waking desease when they actually dream that they are dreaming.
