  1. I don't know if those where the replies you're looking for. To change the language format you can use the control panel options that have been mentioned. However that does not change the operating system language if that is what you are looking for. I pretty sure you have to format and reinstall Windows entirely if you want it entirely in a different language (for all of your start menu, control panel, errors, etc.)
  2. Gmail just rocks. Easy to use. Lots of space. Built in chat before Facebook and others that have that capability even existed. Free domain name email address. Easy SMTP. Live saving indexed searching of my messages which I am totally dependent on. (I just hope that it's not too long before I have a phone with email capabilities but I need to search my email for stuff so often!)
  3. I like your site. It looks good. You might need some spam protection, however, it looks like you've already got bots leaving you some unwanted comments.
  4. Here is a login script you can download as a .zip: http://www.roscripts.com/PHP_login_script-143.html It's big, almost too big for me, but I will probably install and adapt it to the system I'm working on next week. It includes different levels of access, session cookies, temporary passwords, check for unique email address, etc. etc.
  5. I would say get another gmail, or two for that matter.
  6. Wow. I played Pirates in the last few years but I didn't know there was an older version. I wish I would have seen it! Sid Meier's older stuff is CLASSIC. Pirates is really a blast.
  7. It looks like your idea is not flying too well with the Xisto crowd, judging by the replies. You should have posted this as a poll.I think the idea is a little sketchy with the technology which we currently have. And I believe that physical storage will constantly get better and better, so it will probably always be more practical. Needles to mention, what happens to your information if somebody trips on the router's plugin!?Kudos for your graphic, did you make that just for this post? It's great
  8. I learned some C first and then C++ learn before I ever got involved in the web (just this last year), but I would recommend HTML and Javascript. Don't worry about pointer, matter of fact, javascript is loose-typed, which makes it a really simply place to begin. To explain that means a variable can hold whatever you want it to: var myVar; //declare new variablemyVar = false; //boolean valuemyVar = 123 //numbermyVar = null //nullmyVar = "Hello World!" //char str you can do so much with little restrictions in Javascript, and for that same reason be careful! You don't even have to use semicolons most of the time, but the best practice is to put them everywhere they should be used. C++ is like chess for me. Javscript is like a dance. They are both great, but in javascript you get to do whatever you want, and it's fast (not fast in the sense of interpretation, but in the sense of how long it takes you to do something). For example you can studying C++ for 6 months and not see anything but text on a screen. With HTML/Javscript you can do fancy animations in your first week. One big advantage is that javascript doesn't need a compiler, just a web browser. Think about it, anywhere you have notepad and an internet broswer you can program and instantly see your results. That could be on you're grandma's computer! jk. I made a pretty fun dice game in javascript in the first two weeks of learning it. In a minute I'll post the link so you can try it out. All I used was the basic files, a browser (firefox in this case), and a trial version of Photoshop 6 Elements to make the images.
  9. I played the game and it was interesting, but I didn't like it all that much. For me it felt like it was kinda hacked together, almost like it was unfinished. It has some neat aspects, but for me I prefer the city building of Rome (even though the battles are a joke) if you like that aspect of the game. But Age of empires II and III far exceed the excitement, graphics, and playable of Stronghold in my opinion.
  10. Are there any fans out there of Civilization I or Colonization? These are some of my favorite games which got me started in gaming nearly 15 years ago. Despite the absolute lack of graphics and the many glitches I still enjoy them, moreso Colonization for the classic feeling that it gives me. I feel like these games identify my childhood...
  11. Age of Empires I II and III are classics. I love playing multiplayer on III including the expansions. It's more balanced than the first two so you can really duke it out. In the others its more likely that the person who gets ahead quick wins. My brother and I used to play against several computers on the hardest difficutly level, which is ferocious in Ages III. We would have to hide in a corner and defend with all our strength for hours until the computers lost interest and then we could counterstrike and destroy them. Great games. Great fun. Countless days and weeks of my life wasted.
  12. Give 'Battlefield Earth' a read if you haven't yet. It's a great sci-fi book I read about 10 years ago. I'm sorry I can't help you on the author because I don't remember but that's what you have Google for.
  13. Humans is right. I've been held up at knifepoint. But I've also been close enough to a black bear to kill it with an arrow, which I did. I've been close to cobras and vipers. The most dangerous is the Shushupe, or Bushmaster, I've been told, but I haven't seen one yet. That doesn't mean that one hasn't seen me. I imagine in the next decade I will probably see some and possibly jaguars too with the amount of time I will be spending in the Amazon rain forest.
  14. You're right that terrorism funded by narcotrafficking would lose all of it's funding. However I don't thinking that they would just give up and go home, even though the legalizing of narcotics would bring them a big setback. Of course the reprecussions of such might be worse than what we have on our hands now...
  15. Of course religion and culture are not the same thing. If you didn't notice the world "worldview" in my post that is what I'm referring to. Worldview affects culture but it is also determined by culture and religion in certain ways. A true Christian just so much as a true Muslim has his worldview determined by their holy scriptures (i.e. writings). You are very correct when you mention the grave errors of western society in their treatment of women as sex objects. But look who is doing it and who is fighting against it. In the western society Christians fight against such cultural and societal perversions. In the Muslim world it is the very religious leaders who impose the laws to which I referred in my previous post.
