  1. W3Schools!!! That place rocks, it was the very first place I found with the best tutorials at that time and most probably still the best css tutorials around. Then it was all trial and error and going back to the site to see the reference and some other tutorials from webpages I found through google or places like pixel2life. There are plenty of resources on the web, its all a matter of having patience and practicing, its really not difficult to learn css. There are plenty of new tricks coming out every now and then.
  2. I have used ebay, well not really to make money, but to buy things that I can get 50% cheaper and then have some relatives bring them to me or have them shipped and pay taxes which still ends up cheaper than buying them at the stores here. I have also used it to buy things that arent even sold here, which makes them really unique and cool items. I have also upgraded some equipment and sold the older equipment, sometimes earning money or getting back what I paid for them. Its really great, though you must really investigate the sellers and bid consciously. I dont understand why people would rather save 50 bucks than buying somethings new from the store with warranty and all.
  3. I am really impressed by the speed at which linux has been evolving. A couple of years ago the graphic interface was really awful.. in my opinion. Now it has evolved into something which is a whole lot better than the Mac OSX and Windows Vista combined. Beryl and Compiz are amazing, I have yet to try them out but with a new hard drive I just bought it should be sooner than later, and my distribution of choice will definitely be either ubuntu or gentoo.
  4. Do you think this will be an organ that people in the future will stop having? I too, also wonder if it really generates good germs than how can people live without it. Maybe those good germs arent needed that much, I wonder why people's appendix gets inflamed. I would agree with what another person said about that maybe the good germs were used to help humans eat raw meat or something, and now they are no longer used.
  5. Great!! This is definitely a must have. I have played all the smash bros. games for countless hours. Its going to be awesome to have so many characters to choose from, in the past game I would use roy, he was awesome. I also used luigi in the first one for nintendo 64. I wonder if my buddies would still like to come and play. I hope they dont feel to old for this game, I know some wont, as I know they already have their way and they cant wait for this game to come out. I heard sonic the hedgehog is also going to be in this game, I really hope he does. He is one of my favorite characters, though I think knuckles was cooler.
  6. That is soo ridiculuos, then everyone is going to buy a new product, wait a couple of months and sue the company for adjusting THEIR prices. In my opinion, its their prices, and they can do whatever they want to do with them. Now if people stop buying their products because they are too high, it would be their fault. Why not raise the prices and sue that lady because nobody is buying their products? It would be as silly as what that lady is looking for. She is probably just a lazy fat woman who wants easy money.ugh... this kind of sounded like a vent, but I am really tired of people sueing others for stupid reasons.
  7. Its a great minimalistic designed website, I really like how the blue blends in, what I would fix is the light gray. I would probably make it a little darker so the text in the main box stands out. I would also create a design for the popup menu unless all you are going to have is 6 main sections in your webpage. Designing some headers would also be good, for like subtitles inside the textbox.
  8. I would like it better if the front was in the back, only change the text a bit, I dont think that text fits in very well, the colors are good, but I would think that a school that deals with business would have blue as the color. Since I have heard it is good for business . For the front, I would put the logo you have in the back, but make it really small and leave it to the top right part of the sweater just like most other shirts. Well, those were my two cents, 1 cent for the front and the other for the back. I would really like it that way. Another thing you should ultimately do is show it to the people who are actually goiong to wear it. See how they like it and listen to their opinion. It wouldnt be much good if they will end up in the trash or buried in the closet, right?
  9. Well then... ehmm... why dont we just hope that the ice wall doesnt melt, It appears there is no funding to construct a concrete o steel wall that would absolutely be more secure than an ice wall that is probably melting already. There is funding to build a wall between Mexico and the United States though. Lol..
  10. You have all got a really interesting discussion going on, lots and lots of numbers and years. I think that I will have to go to pizza hut and then come back to this post to be able to talk with you guys about it. I wonder if its really all got to do with the crust.
  11. I love pugs and sharpei and bulldogs. They rock, friggin' little monsters... Lol. I dont know why but I think they look really cute and they dont grow really big like other dogs.
  12. This exact same thing happened to me, but I was raised Catholic instead of christian. I even went to classes at church, and a lot of other things. I think that what made me start doubting was the people that formed part of this faith, and that I was forced to believe in this religion as I grew up and the ways that it has been used to manipulate people. I prefer to have the same beliefs, a one god, I pray and always give thanks to for everything I have. You can definitely feel some sort of peace and encouragement. I really recommend you joing a religion but stay away from fanatism, it is the worst thing in the world.
  13. Lol..... LMAO..... I guess that happened because it is more expensive and if there is a problem with the weapon then he looses all of the weapons instead of just one. Its probably really complicated to build or something, there must have been a good reason for it unless its the same issue that they had with the body armor, I think it was called dragonskin, which was supposed to be better but some "tester" said it was bad and failed all the tests.
  14. Yeah and they tried to compete with the ipod with their thing which I already forgot what is called, and where is it? I dunno...... I never really liked their search engine =b , I couldnt really find what I was looking for.
  15. It used to be Bill Gates.... But now its a person here in Mexico called Carlos Slim, who got the chance to buy the only telephone company through a friend that he had in the government for a very small amount of money. He then converted his telephone company into a monopoly by not letting any other telephone company operate in the country until a couple of years ago. The result.... He owns over 90% of the telecommunications here in Mexico, and also a large percentage in Latin America, I wouldnt really know how much but I have heard that this guy earns 1 million an hour.

    Starcraft 2

    Really?? Geee, I thought it was coming this october... Well guess not, I did not have high expectations anyway. I sort of knew that the release would be delayed just as warcraft 3 was delayed for about a year or so... Oh well, I dont think my computer would have run it smoothly, this just gives me about another year to save some for a new and powerful computer
  17. Wow, that is awesome. I was really getting frustrated at first because I was getting the google search, then I kept reading the whole thread and found out about the space. Guess you got to read all the instructions or the whole thread before you get the prize. Pretty neat effect.
  18. I dont really care if it has graphics or not, as long as its innovative. If it has something new I am definitely going to like it. The first websites that came out with the very glossy images and logos were cool, but then every site was soon like that. I have seen some wierd and cool sites that are unique and original in the way they display their webpage, or in the way that they are designed, and for me those are the websites that count. Though most importantly, before all of this, the user interface does take a really important part, well atleast when its a website in which Im looking for important information. I can really get annoyed If I dont find the specific content I am looking for in a short amount of time.
  19. I would like to be a moderator, the only problem is that I dont have all the time a moderator would need in order to be a good moderator. I would rather help out the community in any other way I can.
  20. Wow... Your schools are really messed up. I cant believe how they can be like that. Sure at my high school there were fight, and I think that fights are normal at every school, but the drug abuse alcohol and what not is just too much. If they act like this is high, I wonder where people like this is going to end up. At my school it is actually more dangerous on the outside than it is on the inside, I remember someone getting beat up and his stuff stolen just before he was going to take the bus. Its a pretty ugly place where my high school was, and Im not even talking about the afternoon or night schedule which I imagine could be worse.
  21. How do you know this? Where did you find it? I cant believe that water is harmful too late at night!! . Since I work in the night shift giving computer technical support I take my bottle of water and drink it throughout the night, since I rarely drink water, the bottle is a good Idea. I usually wash my face on other days at about 11pm before I go to sleep. My face must be really damaged, well its not really smooth or anything.
  22. A friend got that exact same virus about a week ago. I got her message and I was really about to click on it but then I thought about it and asked her, since she was away from her computer I was not getting any answer so I just left it alone. The next day she told she had a virus and was formatting her pc, she immediately asked me if I clicked on it. I told her that I did and that my computer also got infected, but then I was just joking with her.
  23. I think this is really good, Google is really supporting and giving an opportunity to the technology/robotics field with this contest. If I was in that field I would really be interested. If there was a Xisto rover I think a really good name for it would be the T17 Rover.
  24. Well, I wouldnt think it could be called universe if they found another one. They would have to make a new name for the ex universes and the new universe would be the combination of both, because universe means everything regarded as a whole. I guess I kind of sounded confusing with this last statement, but what I meant is that what we call universe at the moment would have to have another name, so that universe can be the combination of both, the actual and the newfound one. =b this is hard to explain.
  25. That is something that has been thought of many times, the idea that I have heard for powering it was the own body's energy. It is enough to power a small chip. I really doubt that it could be surgically implanted into someone at birth because of growth. The chip would make the skin stretch in some way or another, its the same reason why some people have to wait until their 20's to get certain surgeries. Its until the person has grown fully. I personally would not like a chip like this ever created, I feel like its going to reduce peoples freedom. Believe me that there is something like this being made already, I wouldnt doubt the governments see lots of advantages in them.
