  1. Good old fashioned fish and Chips with a side order of a few slices of bread and butter,and hp sauce included in the condiments.I also like pork chops and french fries.I also like steak and french fries.Shepherds pie is also great, as is Yorkshire pudding.Put a hold on the caviar, I'd rather have these things first.


  2. I see this is your 66 post. Perhaps it should be post 666.These solutionists with all the quick answers.You know,there are a lot of problems in the world, and just making something illegal like that is no solution.Tobacco is the most addictive substance in the world.Blame tobacco for all the disease. Let's forget about car fumes and industrial waste.Wouldn't you be better off posting an anti crack rant,or something on anti violence against women?That's your solution? Just make it illegal.Right?It wouldn't stop it anyway. There's way too much of a black market.


  3. I think myspace is better, specifically for musicians. With Myspace one can acidently discover a Myspace site without having to log in. Then one can listen to music or whatever,this isn't the case with facebook,where you have to login to see anything really.The only draw back with myspace is, and I'm sure Facebook is the same, is that 90 per cent of usersare less than 24 years old, yet Myspace is a great place to truly discover new and cutting edge alternative music. It's certainly better than the radio. This gets me wondering,don't people over 24 listen to music anymore?The average age of the musicians is certainly over 24.I've tried lots of music sites, and right now myspace is about the best for musicians. I had hope forsites like soundclick.com,but unfortunately sites like these have shrunk and turned into little villages.Too bad.


  4. Yes.I've been to lots of N.H.L games,thought not in a long time.The games are way better to see live than they are on t.v. It'sway,way better.No matter where you are sitting,you can hear the scraping of blades on the ice,and the slapping of the hockey sticks, and all the sounds of the game like theyare right in front of you,which they are.On t.v the rink always looks much bigger than it actually is. Watching the game liveis much more intimate and in your face.


  5. Where I am,Toronto is alright. It is pretty corporate driven unfortunately.Sure,all large cities are, but especially Toronto. Money comes first.Maybe that's why Toronto has very little to culturally stand out from other cities.I mean New Orleans has the Mardi Gras and New Orleans Jazz, Detroit has Motown andthe heyday of the automobile industry. Chicago has blues music, even Seattle has grunge.Montreal has the Circe du soleille and French culture.You can go on and on and on.This is epitomized in the way the Hockey team operates. They are usually horrible atperforming on the ice, but obviously nobody cares since they make money. Toronto is at it's best during the World cup soccer tournaments. All the various cultures come to life and Toronto gains an exuberance rarely seen. They should learn from that.The TTC public transportation system in Toronto is way over priced and slow.That's why I keep busy. To try not think about these things.


  6. well if your worried because it's going to expire soon, why transfer it now anyway? use some mycents to renew it, and then if you need to transfer it, you can do it after you have paid for another year

    Well, you see, I'm transferring it FROM another hosting company TO compuhost.Everything should be alright now though. There is actually plenty of time left really.

  7. Hi Networker,
    The domain name transfer process involves a step where you approve the Transfer. To do this, an email is sent to your Registrant email in your whois account. The approval is done from your-end.

    If you can give me your ticket ID, I will investigate further.


    It looks like it's okay now.Thanks anyway.

    I over reacted. I wanted to delete,or at least edit this post just after I posted it.
    They've been really good at compuhost. When I freak out I don't discriminate, I treat
    everybody badly, equally.lol.

    Also thanks for everything OpaQue. Xisto is really,really good.

  8. i have to agree that Xisto - Web Hosting support is a little slow and confusing at times because the support does not read our specific requests and assumes things we didn't even say. i just learned to bare with it and be patient because as far as i am concerned, their services are good when connected to trap.
    i know that doesn't help your current situation, but it's nothing to get your panties in a twist over. if there is some major problems with support in your situation, what i would do is talk to opaque personally and let him handle it if time is indeed running out.

    as far as the edit feature, where have you been? haha it was taken out a while back but you still have 10 minutes to edit your post as soviet had said. no biggie....


    Thanks for the replies. I am just a little concerned because the domain name in question is going to
    expire soon.
    Then again, if it does I don't really care. As soon as I get somethings out of the way I'm going to
    rebuild,building just one site geared for traffic, rather than concentrating on a whole bunch at once.
    The internet can be a headache sometimes.

  9. What happened to the Edit function?I see. You can edit everything but the INITIAL post. I would of deleted this thread.The problem here seems to have been confusion all around.Why place "Do not reply" in the header of an important email though?It's misleading and makes the email appear to be spam like.The compuhost user panel could be a bit more user friendly too.


  10. The support at compuhost has been pathetic.I had successfully transferred a few domain names before to compuhost.Not this time.I requested the transfer of a domain, and received an email saying that Icouldn't transfer it, because the domain name was already taken.I clearly requested a TRANSFER, not purchase of a new domain name.It was unlocked,unprivate, and I gave them the proper verification codeand information.On the second try, I received an email saying that the transfer had failed againbecause a response was not received from the "Administrative contact".The only email I received from them was the generic "Do not reply" emailthat one receives when making a transfer.They told me to place a new transfer. I can't because the old transferrequest is still pending with no way of deleting it.Time is now running out.


  11. About Google ...
    Well I used Ask Jeves Once and I asked him why google was so much better lool


    To me it's pretty clear really as to why Google has been and will continue to be a success.
    Unlike Yahoo, and Msn, you aren't assaulted with pop up boxes or attempts at hijacking your computer
    when you open the page.
    Google is straight forward. You need a good search engine and it's right there. All Google has to
    do is keep marketing themselves and to keep things simple.

  12. in my view a lot of things have changes over the last decade. These factors have all affected the news that we see in the media as it has become a thousand times easier to access information in today's world.
    firstly we got camera phones and digital cameras that are now easily accessible and lowly priced. Which means there is now more information about celebrities. This information has then made it easier for celebrity x who was a Z Lister to be spotted kissing a drummer in Band X and the news will now be available on the net like on Youtube and before long there are a thousand hits from all of Celebrity X's fans who ealier on had no access to this info because the mainstream media only covered A listers.

    Another thing is because of the availability of 12 Meg Digital camera or high spec cameras becoming cheaper and more affordable as well as the high pay offs paparazzi is getting, this bas increased the viability of being a paparazzi and remeber the more unique your pictures are and the bigger the scoop as well as the biggest pushing factor being that Bad news sells, Theres no point having 300 paparazzi staking outside Britneys House and 300 of you get the same picture which will then be harder to sell for a high amount as the other paprazzi will be accepted or undercutting the price for the same photo say you offer a newspaper thet story for 10 000 Pounds, a paparazzi who was with you will offer the same or similar picture probably even better quality for 8 000 and because all other papers will probably have the same story this devalues the story because the paper can really guarantee that its an exclusive and people will choose to purchase that newspaper brand because paper X and The X times and The X news will be running the same story meaning readers will not be specifically drawn to their paper as there might even be cheaper news papers running with the same story.

    This has then pushed the paparazzi to diversify and take a chance with any celebrity as long as they can get an exclusive. Cause as long as they have an exclusive there is a guarantee that the pay out will be high and it builds a good relationship with the paper for that paparazzi because they will be loyal to him when stories are running dry or when there is competition. This means that even sports people who aren't even that relevant like a refree would suddenly find themselves in the papers for anything silly they do. Even former reality tV starts arent safe, if they as much as cheat on their partners and there happens to be a camera nearby, they will be splashed all over the news the next day. The same applies if they get too drunk, snog another girl, go out without wearing panties, get turned away from a pub get pulled over by the cops, get a flat tyre anything is news as long as papers are willing to buy the stories.

    Also the rise of dot com businesses and dot com tycoons has made this a possibility with people uploading any celebrity news to their websites and tryna generated as many views on their sites so that with high ranking they get paid more for adverts to be placed on their sites. The reasons are endless. But one thing for sure is that No matter who you are these days you can be a celebrity over night. You dont even have to be a great singer as long as you can do something soooooooooo good and have talent be it sucking off the president like how Lewinsky became famous, or Faria Alarm who is a celebrity in UK for having an affair with the England Soccer/ Football Team Manager or Rebecca Loos who is famous for having an affair with David Beckham. They are now celebrities on their own right and whats shocking is they are even more famous than a lot of Olympic gold Medalist who should be known for being good at their sports and winning the highest ranks at the Olympic games.

    Look at Tila Tequilla she is famous for having is it a million friends of Facebook and has become a celebrity for something so trivial yet we haardly hear anything about the people that actually created face book.

    Wierd but i doubt if sports is the one thats come to such a llow but i think its recording technology that has raised to the level where its flooded every market and made information so easily accessible and everyone is trying to come from a different angle so they have the highest following.


    It's what you call fast food culture. Everything is quick and cheap and holds very little real
    value. If present culture were nutrition we'd be malnourished.

  13. I certainly hope not another war. There is enough tension and troublein the world a sit is. It's the leaders who start these wars, and thecommon men who have to fight them.I'd like to think I'm basically a normal person. I haven't had a violent encounter with anyonesince I was a kid. Most people are the same. Why can't these world leaders just grow upand stop threatening the end of the world because of their childishness?These people are sick.


  14. Like anything that is really old the bible is based very much onsuperstition and lack of scientific knowledge. It's not likeJesus or God wrote it. It was written by mere mortals. Yes, it's a goodbook to read if you read it between the lines.I think they could of gone just a little bit easier on the doom and gloomthough.
