  1. That's why the timing is perfect to write these applications in Java. I haven't yet looked at that open source office software that Sun microsystems has. I hear it's pretty good though. Comparable to excel, etc.
  2. An amazing story OpaQue.We have so much to thank you for. It certainly sounds like a lot that you've been through.Not only that,the trap 17 forum is one of the best on theinternet, and of course the best web host of them all.
  3. It's obvious that playing video games is addictive.Anything that is fun is addictive.Of course,getting the adrenalin rushfrom winning, and the pure escapism are what fuel this addiction.
  4. If you could get traffic I think that it would be easy to make at leastsome money using google adsense.The problem though is getting the traffic. I hear it's not cheap to do just that.As far as I understand seo optimization can only go so far.It also helps having aninteresting website.
  5. I've been receiving those kinds of email scams for several years.Perhaps their approach isn't quite sleaze enough to approach embezzlement,but it wouldn't surprise me if a few vulnerable people fell for it.Just another pest that should be stopped.
  6. I agree in some instances cloning is fine, at leastuntil they find a way of stopping these poachersthat kill of these animals in the first place.
  7. I'm sick of the Simpsons and have been for years,Besides,I don't think that many of those character voices would be that hard to duplicate for many people anyway.I think one of the tough ones would be Homer's voice though.Surely many people could do Willie the caretakers voice.Most of them are easy to do.
  8. I don't mean to sound cliched,but the Irish in memeans that I love potatoes and never get sick of them.From what I gather too,one could live off of nothing but potatoes and bananas.Potatoes contain all your necessary vitamins,except for vitamin b,which can be found in bananas.
  9. The way I see it everywhere is about the same,at least in the Western world.You can find little pockets of areas where people are a little more laid back and friendlier though. In society people are just generally frustrated.They like to let this frustration out on other people.If they can't do it on a racial level,they'll doit on a monetary level,discriminating against the poor,or those not as fortunate.It gives people a shot of adrenalin to cut somebody else down.People should just stop and smell the roses.
  10. The one I've always used on my computer is something called easy php : http://www.easyphp.org/ It's really easy to install. It uses the Apache server and comes with mysql.
  11. Hopefully the Internet stays as wide open as it is now.The 'wild west ' aspect of it is what makes it so appealing,not counting twisted child porn sites and such.I fear government regulation could hem the internet in so to speak.Cam you imagine what it would be like if every single website had to applyto a government agency to be online?If every single website had tobe reviewed every year by a government agency? It would take allthe fun out of it. I hope it just stays as open as it does,and people report child pornor terrorist activity sites to the police.That's all you can do.
  12. Donald Trump doesn't seem to show much humility and modesty.Just look at his ridiculous comb over. Not only that, but his constantmedia fighting with Rosie( O'donnell?), doesn't show him to be at allcool,calm and collected. You would think that such a movers and shakeras him try like to avoid such public fickleness somewhat.Then again, he just has to be on t.v all the time.
  13. I find yahoo news and msn news pretty lame.They'll have this amazing title to grab your attention for somethingthat is hardly note worthy at all.Not only that,but when you click on a link it always open up avideo,when all you wanted to do was quickly read a text article.
  14. My favorite basketball team is the Harlem Globetrotters.Seriously, Basketball is a sport I think could use a lot of changes. I admit the athletes are obviously really talented,but it seemsthe teams score way too often. The element of surprise when a team scoresisn't there so much as it is in the n.h.l, n.f.l, European football andmajor league baseball. I think they should make the courts twice the size and raise the baskets about 3 feet higher.Make it so when a team does score it's an actual event.No offense, I know most people will disagree with this, but as it is, I find basketballa complete yawn.
  15. I ran into the same problem as well.It's frustrating when the u.s border is only a few miles away though. I don't know anything about proxy servers or if they'd beworth trying.
  16. All this copyright talk is fine,but the problem is coming upwith the money to sue somebody if they did steal your material.Not only that,but how would you give a subpeona(Noticeof legal action) to somebody living thousands of miles away? Then theres all the complications of which court it would be held in and where.What a headache.
  17. The word 'electronic' is pretty general.Some people resent the fact that a lot of music is sampled.Sampling means rehashing previously recorded music.Some say for integrities sake all music should be recorded completelynew. It's never a perfect world though.Too much sampling leads to repetition and not only that,somebody can use an orchestra from a computer keyboard,without knowing the first thing about playing a musical instrument.A lot of musicians resent this.
  18. It's certainly a mess these days when you have kids bringingguns to school and murdering people.I say do whatever you can to stop it.Of course you can blame the parents first. They shouldkeep these guns locked up properly,or not be allowed to have them at all.
  19. Being an atheist isn't a religion.It's being a non-entity in many ways,although one can be spiritual without being religious. That means having faith in a non organized way.One can't say theres anything organized or spiritual about being an athiest.
  20. That is true.For people so concerned about the afterlife and all it's benefits,us Christians put much more effort into not even trying to think about it.After all, I thought looking forward to an afterlife was a form of faith,and faith is whats we are supposed to have.Basically, the Pope has a job to do,and if he can't do this they should getanother one to do it. An ace for an Ace, a Spade for a spade right?Maybe theres Catholic complications that have to do with this, I don't know.
  21. I'd get a really good book that has good beginners tutorials.I'd also try to concentrate on real life most used scenarios first(i.eeating and ordering in a restaurant,asking directions,saying hello to people,etc). I'd also try too look at popular movies that have been translated to that language.Viewing these and comparing them to the English version,youshould be able to learn a lot that way.That's my opinion.Best of luck.
  22. Most of my pages look basically the same in Firefox and Internet explorer browsers.Some real nightmares happen though with Safari and Opera,let alone GoogleChrome. I think there should be some final,absolute standard set for these browsers,although I thought the Worldwide web consortium was supposed to take care of this. Right now it's a mess that could get much worse.
  23. They don't even come close to Xisto. Don't bother at all with x10 hosting. It was a nightmare. They have people moderating and 'disciplining' people who don't have a clue about what they are doing. If anything ever goes wrong with your site,which it will,sometimes more than one thing at once,you'll have a hell of a time getting any help.
  24. Have you ever heard of the Illuminate? Apparentlythey are a group of people who have controlled the worldfor a few centuries both economically and politically.They are supposed to be real secretive,and extremely powerful of course.Like a free masons society.I don't believe in this myself. If that were the case then why aren't powerful peoplesuch as Bill Gates,Roman Abramovitch,Richard Branson,Donald Trumpand paul McCartney all part of this Illuminatte? I mean,who could be more powerful than those people combined?They are clearly not members of it, yet I get sick and tired of hearing about it.Quite clearly there is no Illuminate,and never was.
  25. I prefer to think of socialism being more ideal rather thancommunism.That is, socialism that includes free enterprise.Lot's of it. In the ideal society the government would regulate how successfula private enterprise could be, so as to not allow monopolies,and also to keep certain necessary, essential services(i.e publictransport, medical) centralizedand to stop them ever becoming privatized.
