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.)

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!)

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.

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.

I would say get another gmail, or two for that matter.

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.

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

I can tell you now that you'll probably get some strong opinions about what to learn. C++ is great, a fascinating language in my opinion, and very powerful. However, it will probably never serve you if your purpose is web design. If you are interested in web design go for these (more or less in order):1. HTML2. CSS3. PHP/MySQL4. Javascriptand then javascript libraries, Java if you want to develop web Apps, etc.in response to your question, printf("") is a C function, and "cout <<" is from C++. It doesn't make any since to use printf() in C++.P.S. If you're interested in iPhone apps learn objective C.I'm second guessing having put PHP before Javascript. I learned Javascript first. The fact is these days Javascript is used a lot and your PHP will probably be more or less dependant on it (for example, there is no AJAX without Javascript). So learn PHP, but make sure you understand the basics of HTML first, then Javascript, or else you wont be able to do anything with your PHP.My third reply...I just read that you want to be a software engineer and if that is the case C++ would definitely be something you could use. But the advice you get from people here is probably going to be from web designers and not many software engineers. Notice from jlhaslip: Merged consecutive posts

I think the question about women is quite obvious. Ideas have consequences, and with simple logic sometimes consequences can tell you what the ideas are. In the Muslim world today there are many laws that do not favor the rights of women. (Just recently there was an ordeal over a law legalizing rape in marriage in a Muslim country, I don't recall which) Women are frequently raped, abused, and executed if the husband is unpleased with them in Muslim countries. In the world today there are about 100,000,000 missing women - biologically women should outnumber the men, but this is not the case. If you look at the percentage of how many men/women there ARE and how many there scientifically should be you will find that that many are missing. This is most severe in the Middle East. Those are consequences. What do you conclude to be root, the ideas that cause them? I believe the in the Muslim worldview the woman is not understood to be a transcendentally valuable creation of God like the Bible says. Look at how nations with strong Christian influence have protected women and how Muslim nations have abused them. Look at the consequences and effects long enough and you will realize they are results of the underlying beliefs.

I see that not many have voted, but I am a gmail fan. I works good, I can offer customers free domain name email address, and it has never caused me frustration. I would love it if somebody would make it possible to send out HTML formatted emails without a full-blown program like Microsoft Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird. And no, I am not talking about changing the font color, but literally accepting HTML and CSS code for mass mailing.It's too bad you have to have a hotmail address to you messenger. I despise hotmail, but I don't want to sacrifice MSN Messenger so I have to maintain the account.

BTW, leaded is not correct in your title, it should read: "...lead by..."

You're right, the Sendero Luminoso, (you might add that that means "Shining Way" is a terrorist party guilty of untold killings over the past two decades in peru. They are funded by narcotrafficking. Ayacucho has been a hotbed of terrorist activity here in Peru since the 80s when the Sendero Luminoso sprouted up. But I woudn't call it a town as it has more than 150,000 population. Nevertheless for Peruvians the much bigger news right now is about the ex-president, Alberto Fujimori, who was sentenced to 25 years in jail just a few days ago. The trial centered on terrorist-like killings he had overseen in a place called "Barrios Altos." Now he is going to jail for having fought terrorism with more terrorism. Thankfully in modern-day Peru terrorist attacks are very rare and narcotrafficking is isolated to certain areas. Nevertheless these continue and will do so for years to come unless the nation's infrastructure is dramatically improved, perhaps something that would resemble that of Ecuador, and corruption is cut down, especially from among the government and police force.

Hi there. How many of you have played around with the Dojo Javascript library? I recently began using it on a new project and there are a lot of things I like about it. It offers nifty aesthetic modal dialogs, tooltip dialogs, etc. (Dijit Theme Tester) for logins or other forms. There are many more little "widgets" (Dojo Campus - Feature Explorer) or in this case "dijits" but there are also more powerful weapons such as Dojox grid (SitePen Blog ť Dojo Grids: Diving Deeper), xhrGet and xhrPost (Dojo Example: xhrGet and xhrPost | Dojo Forum)for AJAX which are also powerful little functions. So let me way the pros and cons from a beginner's point of view. The grid is great, but it was a bear to get initialized. It work fine on my localhost but when I uploaded it to the remote website I got nothing. No response, no cryptic error message, just an empty box. So I spent a day hacking away hoping to see something in the hateful little box. The next day my brother came along and said, "have you tried [grid.startup();] in your onload?" Woot! It worked, and to think I couldn't find that anywhere in all of the tutorials. Before that I implemented the xhrPost(); function instead of old bulky XHTTP functions I was using with success, save one small issue. The data got written to the database, but the function which is supposed to fire only fired once in a rare while. Needless to say I inderted many records into the database without knowing it. Then yesterday the function randomly decided to start firing evey time. I may never know why. In summary, Dojo is powerful, and it's cool. But if you're new to javascript libraries give yourself time, go over all the basic tutorials, and plan out well what you want to do. Learn and using Dojo will be a battle, the difficulty probably depends somewhat on your skill a a javascipt coder and the difficult of the project at hand. Happy coding!

You propose an interesting SEO question when you mention using META keywords for a forum. I don't know if it's been done or if maybe there are tutorials out there, but theoretically it wouldn't be too hard to make dynamic metatags. My idea goes like this:Create or download a list of keywords, I suppose it could contain 500 or 5000, but with my knowledge of linguistics I would say 1000-2000 would probably suffice. Store it as a PHP database and write a code snippet which will search the post for the words in the list, and then without duplicating them use PHP to insert them into the header as your keywords. I know very little about PHP, I know all of this could be done in Javascript except for the database part. But if you can insert content into the page header using PHP, which I imagine you can, there should be no problem.Anyone tried this? Let me know if I'm wrong.

Now I'm just plain ticked off and tired of Google apps. I'm trying and trying to register but Google apps tells me that the page is already registered. I don't know who would have my page registered, especially considering that I have the page registered in Google webmaster. Google needs to get their mess together in my opinion.At the same time I can register another domain in Google Apps which I also have in Webmaster and there is no problem, except for the fact that it's not the domain I need to register. I'm about ready to shove an App down Google's throat...

I'm working on this site: http://www.mantto.org/ for a maintenance business. It's mostly complete but a couple of pages aren't finished yet. Any suggestions and comments are welcome! (This site is entirely in Spanish for the time being) Mantto

Please help me if you have any idea what is going on here. I have xisto hosting through Xisto and bought my domain name through 1and1.com. I set up an email account on my 1and1 control panel and I can send emails out to other addresses and it works fine but when I try to send to the address it bounces. Does this have something to do with my nameservers? Please help if you know anything about this type of problem. Thanks.
