I have an idea. What if every member of the Xisto forum were required topost one new relevant,original topic as a thread once a month?It doesn't seem like much to ask.Then maybe we would have more new interesting threads instead ofthe danger of there always being the same ones.There would be more ideas and more flow. We probably wouldn't haveto sift through too many of the same topics trying to find something to say.I think it would be interesting.

Well it appears to be fixed. I really hate bugging the support teamthey are very good,like everything here at Xisto.I wouldn't of bothered them if I hadn't been in a bitof a jumpy mood lately.Too many coffees probably.Can't wait for this winter to end.

Anxiety can be an awful thing.I hear deep breathing can help a lot.Also not drinking too much coffee or caffeine type products.Chamomile tea is famous for being a substance that relaxes people. Getting out and going for walks will probably help a lot.

Heres one of my tables I use. I'm no virtuoso by any means.What's really difficult is to make tables that have rounded corners and look the same in any browser.TABLE.Table1{ display:block; width: 450px; border-top:solid; border-bottom:solid; border-left:solid; border-right:solid; border-color: #000000; border-width: 2px; background-color:white; }

Right off, how I'd probably do it is I'd encode the password.Php Base64_encoding is widely used. You could just tryencoding the value several times once it's been posted.Just keep track of that in your script of course.There has to be more obscure encodings than base_64 though.You could try making up your own if anything.

I just received another negative mycents again. It's now at[-131.48]. Xisto has been really,really good, but this negative mycents thing gets one a little nervous.

Myself,I lean to an all wood floor.It's easier to clean and you don'thave to bother with loud hoovers. Maybe small carpets here and thereare alright, but wall to wall carpeting I'm not really fond of.

I don't claim to be an economist,but I'd be all for the but united states.or buy Canadian,or buy British train of thought. Stimulate the local economy right?The problem is that free trade goes completely against that. I say scrap free trade. Scrap outsourcing as well.It seems a true strong economy is a strong local one.

I don't think there is anything funny about it.What's wrong with them offering a reward? $250,000 is well worth it to find them and string them up by the $%$%#$.Worm makers are just pigs who are no different than terrorists.
-
I'm no political expert but Iraq was and is somethingwe never should have bothered with. Afghanistan is a different story though.I still think a military presence is important there. I think the Taliban is too much of a grass roots terrorist organizationto think they can be completely snuffed out like that.As far as Obama is concerned, time will only tell how strong of a leader he is.

To me,the idea of a nuclear war is obviously a scary scenario.
The real scary thing is one happening by accident, or a terrorrist
group simulating an attack from a major power, thus triggering
an all out nuclear war.
This idea of u.s mini nuclear weapons is weird too. How can
they be held to just destroying a bunker? There is radiation from them
that can travel via wind currents and such.
It's all mind boggling.

Speaking on this subject,there is a simple website of mine that
has base conversions between decimal,binary,octal and hexidecimal
amongst other things,if anyone is interested.

It's all fine what you're saying here but you are forgetting the bottomThis is exactly it. All these other occupations that have been mentioned during this topic are learnable skills. I can go to school and become a neurosurgeon or a lawyer. You usually don't hear about professionals growing up being bad at the sport they currently play, they are usually just born with a natural ability. Whereas, the other two jobs I mentioned don't really require natural ability (arguable a neurosurgeon does, but you can still go through medical school and become a licensed doctor whether or not you are an amazingly gifted surgeon).
This is just the way the economy works. As a percentage of the population, sports players are very unique.
I once heard this same debate a long time ago, probably when I was in elementary school. Back then, they were arguing about how firemen and police officers risk their lives and don't make nearly as much as sports players. That one is a combination of what I said earlier and the fact that the government isn't going to pay ungodly amounts of money to a person that can be replaced by almost any other random person on the street if they were given proper training.
Not to diminish the skills of a police officer or fireman, I know I couldn't do what they do.
line.The common sports fan who has been out priced out of the picture.
Someone who can no longer afford to view these games.Games that
are now mainly available to a corporate elite.
The hard core sports fan has been forgotten and shafted.
Simple as that.

Swimming is probably the best exerciseof them all.fortunately I'm a good swimmer.There were a few times I had to be.I sort ofgot myself in a jam having to swim against strongcurrents. I wouldn't recommend that for anybody.

It doesn't surprise me at all.More and more people seekentertainment at home anyway.All somebody needs todo is buy a new computer game to keep them inside.

It sounds like a trip and a half.I guess we all feel like politicians.My neighboursenjoy fighting with each other and I feel like Switzerland. Why people must pull power struggles I don't know.These people are trying to tell you who togo to mcdonalds with?That's not good.I'd just take them with a pinch of salt.

I don't think the tarot had anything todo with you having bad luck.It was just coincidence.There is no validity to Tarot cards.Anybody who says there is,is full of it.Don't believe in that @**#@#@#.

Fight music?How about motorhead?"The ace of spades" or "You can go to hell"or "Stay clean".Then you could could also have portishead for the quiet interludesin between.Just a suggestion.
-
Weed should definitly be decriminalized.If the government manufactured say heroin and gave it tojunkies they would be easier able to moniter the rehabilitation process.It sounds like an idea.I can see them doing this with some drugs.I somehow just can't see the governmentmanufacturing ecstacy and acid and giving it away for freethough. It just seems a little far fetched.

I think Christianity is the important thing rather thanindividual denominations.I always found the catholic faith tobe too dogmatic and doom and gloom anyway.I'm a protestant, but a Christian first.

If you're willing to pay for it,I don't see why Comcastshould place a limit on bandwidth.Maybe they are afraid of peoplenot watching t.v anymore.As somebody suggested,you could try using a bandwidth moniter tocheck your usage, and also to make sure nobody elseis using your signal,if it's wireless.

My sympathies.It's awful getting ripped off like that.If I were making the decisions ,nobody who is handicapped would haveto pay anything for such essentials.I hope there is some kind of tax deduction you can get.

The website looks good.Nice colours and nice layout.Very easy on the eyes.The blog also looks good too.I should try using something likewordpress or something as well.Good job.
-
That's really good.The colors and layout are reallynice.I really like how you made those tables with rounded corners.How did you do that?All the pages are of uniform style too,which is reallygood.I'm impressed.
An Elevator Leading All The Way To Space! the title says it all

That would be an idea and a half.An elevator to space.I'll make a prediction. One hundred years from nowit will be really inexpensive to visit the moon. No doubt the Toronto transit commission fare willstill be more expensive than that though.
