  1. This is one of the things I like about the Xisto community. Its the huge diversity with people from all over the world, sharing experiences, technology, helping each other, and teaching each other about cultures. If it wasnt for this I would never have been aware of SinterKlass. Before reading I was thinking about a synthesizer or something related. Thanks for sharing.In Mexico we celebrate Christmas, on the night of 24, just like most other countries, and instead of Sinterklass, we celebrate the 3 wizard kings day. Its on January 6, when the day comes Ill give a description about it just like you did.
  2. It depends on your sound card. On my old computer I couldnt play two audio player programs at the same time. It would display an error message saying that there isnt a sound card (because its used by the other program I guess). But on this newer computer I can. On the old pc sometimes it would play both media players but the sound would sound degraded, like if you were listening to it from the internet at 16k or something.
  3. It will probably be really easy to hide, or Id just give it to them. Its not worth it. Besides, I have a car now, so no more riding the bus though sometimes I do have to.
  4. If I new about that website some time ago, I would have probably thought about it first. , not that Im bragging about it or something, but I seriously had this Idea a really really long time ago. It was like my condition for technology to have a cell phone, but blah. To bad its just concept, it will probably take a couple of years for it to appear, maybe it will use one the those paper thin screens.
  5. Ive never really liked cell phones, and my mom and friends have alway wanted me to carry one. But why would I want to carry a stupid brick so my parents are calling me and asking where are you? though I agree that sometimes it may be necessary to send messages to friends and locating them, but anyways most of my friends have a cell phone so they can find me if they send them a message. For me its no excuse, a couple of years ago no one had cell phones and we could still organize stuff, or find each other somewhere, so why has it become such a must have? that you supposedly cant live without? I dont know but I dont have one and I dont care, until now that is. Check this cell phone out: My Webpage http://www.yankodesign.com/2005/09/30/nokia-888-mobile-phone-by-tamer-nakisci/ Its the Nokia 888, say goodbye to the bricks. You can place it on your wrist, bend it anyway you like, it has video, and.. and, I want one. LOL. Thats probably the first time Ive ever said that about a cell phone. Actually a lit bit over a year ago, my cousin asked me why dont you get a cell phone? And I remember I promised him, whenever I can replace my watch with my cell phone, believe me I will. I guess thats why Im so excited about this phone. . Besides here in mexico, well back in a few years ago, you coulnt really have a cell phone if you were riding the bus, because someone would eventually notice it and steal it from you. About 5 months ago a friend had a really cool cell phone which cost him about over 200 dollars, and on the bus some guys noticed him and on his way out on the street they threatened him with a knife and the other guy with a needle saying that if he didnt give him his cellphone and wallet he would inject him aids, and the other guy would stab him. Yes, this was on plain daylight, and now my friend has a crappy brick phone so the next time he gets stolen it wont cost him that much. Well sorry I got a little bit off topic here, but it was another reason why I didnt like cellphones because I would eventually had to have an ugly brick, and because I feel like I loose privacy peace and money. Anyway, you can check more out on NOkias cool concept lounge here: http://ww11.designawards.nl/ , sorry about the huge post, just had to express myself
  6. Cool, you get to fight explorer and you get paid! Awesome. I am also a firefox user, but the only reason I hate explorer because as a web designer you have to fight with the code to get it to work on explorer. Thats why I hate explorer, and all I have against it, and they do that on purpose just to keep their monopoly running, but its going to end.....
  7. Sounds like another of those mmorpgs or something related to that. I dont know.
  8. I dont see much difference from windows xp.... Lol. It looks like xp but with images in folder menus. Probably will need a pretty high end computer to run.
  9. That site is really originall and unique, I probably dont surf around to much but it was the first I had seen with a messenger interface. Its a really good page, I hope you learn a lot of php, and maybe you can teach me.
  10. I really think that in order for these to be made, really good gps and smart computers that dont get viruses will have to be made for them to controll these "cars". I dont think its going to be easy and many people will probably not know hot to drive a manual flying car. Imagine the car computer getting a virus and causing accidents. I dont think it will be easy to survive from an accident like this, so technology really has to be improved before these can come out.
  11. When I first joined, it took me like a week to get enough credits for a hosting account. I usually connect to this page like 3 to 4 times a week and each day I make around 3 to 5 credits and sometimes none. The highest Ive gotten in one day was about 10 credits or 12, I dont remember. I started since the day started, like at 12 am, and by 10 pm I had 20 credits so I could change my domain name and still have credits to keep on going. Thanks Xisto, you are such a great place.
  12. I absolutely have no problem at all with my firefox. Ever since the first time explorer died on me and I couldnt install a new one, I then decided to install firefox.(I had never installed it before because I was happy with explorer and did not even need another navigator). I am glad that that happened because there are so many extensions you can install on firefox that make it great, and the themes are cool too (a must have, because I think that that is what draws people from firefox, the simple and ugly gui (kind of reminded me of windows 95 or 3.11). In this newer pc I immediately installed firefox and whenever I feel like it I can right click and "view this page in IE" in case I need to.
  13. Creative.... That is a good idea to make money. Like always, there are people who follow along and copy. If you click on the little white cross with a red background it takes you to a similar page but in german. I didnt know that either. Good thing I read it instead of accidentally doing it and getting scolded .
  14. Hhahaha. It would be really funny with all those nations that are sort of starving but prefer to invest in nuclear weapons. Imagine them getting ready to threat the world or something and this technology blowing up their millions or resources and research in the air. About hitting the missile I think that computers will take care of that easily.
  15. What fffanatics said is true. The usb 2.0's speed is 480 and firewires speed is 400. Though the firewire people released their new port a while back wich is 800 and something, and then guess what, the usb people are probably going to speed up again. Its like a war, which only ends up in our benefit. Well enough of that, it might seem like im hijacking . I really think that Ipod really needed video to stand up against the iriver and other players. It doesnt matter if people will see it or not, its just about technology and competition. If people dont like it with video they can get the shuffle or other versions anyway.
  16. Cool, alien vegetables. I wonder where they are going to get enough oxygen for 3 years. What if they get sick from some of the parasites that inhabit there? Wow, I didnt say that. I hope they dont because Im really excited about mankind finally stepping in to another planet. I wish I couldve been a member of that crew.
  17. It is true, I read it also, but its not going to stop me from getting the Ps3. (like I was going to get it as soon as it comes out anyways... Lol)
  18. I bought a refurb hp zd7000 about 6 months ago and it is awesome. I have not had any heat issues with it or problems with photoshop. It is a pentium 4 3.06 ht, 512 ram, 17.1 wide screen, +/-dvd burner, 80gb (5400 =(), with tv interface all for 1249 or something like that. I use it for music and watching dvds, and for that price it was really good. The battery lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes =( just barely enough for watching some dvds.
  19. I really dont see any cons with an Ipod. Ive never heard a single complaint nor a technical problem of any ipod. It seems that apple keeps on making high quality products. The sound and everything on it is good, plus you can use it to mix music and its really good at it because it doesnt have talk back so whenever you switch the track you dont have to wait forever like on the minidisc.
  20. Im on the undecided part too. If she decided to work there she must have accepted something that said that she was so catholic that she want going to have premarital sex, and if its a school where many kids are going to see her pregnant I think she is definetely a bad role model, but what iwuvcookies says is true, so thats why Im also undecided.
  21. This looks like something thats gonna eat up my hours. Its going to revolutionize the way people make scripts!! It could help the script writers tell the readers how he wants the set and probably expressions too. The graphics sort of reminded me of the sims.
  22. I played it on the Xbox the one called Return to castle wolfenstein and it was definetely not what I expected. The gameplay was really wierd, the graphics where not as good as they shouldve been. It kind of reminded me of serious sam, where all you do is walk and shoot straight towards the end. The missions were horrible but I never played multiplayer though, I bet that wouldve been the fun good part of the game.
  23. I got 7.312. Ive got to say that this post isnt really what I expected, I didnt think there would be a game so It was really fun. Thats why I hadnt read the post until now.
  24. Rest in Peace Mr. Miyagi =( I think he was a really good person. =( Rip
  25. The Link: The Link of where I got the article OMG!! when I started reading this I was really LMAO!!! LOL, bush is at war with space. LOL. It wouldnt surprise me, he probably thinks that aliens have weapons of mass destruction hidden in some far away galaxy. LOL. It reminds me of the southpark episode where they are in war with heaven because saddam has weapons of mass destruction up there. About the UFO's being real or not, Im thinking, why wouldnt they be real?? Just look at the picture in the link, the one at the bottom. Look at the image of the hubble deep field, it looks like a bunch of candies, LOL. Think we are the only galaxy with a planet inhabitated with life? Yeah right... Maybe not human life but other types of beings, maybe dinosaurs, animals, other life forms.. etc. What do you all think? I think the Star Dreams Initiative is interesting..
