I don't think I'll be getting it unless my DS breaks beyond my ability to repair it. The lack of a GBA slot makes me very sad, and the cameras are just cheap addons. Both of the cameras have terrible stats, too. The internet browsing would be alright, but it's Opera, and they're probably going to screw it up like they did the Wii's internet browsing. (slow loading, distorts most pages, looks horrible)I think the thinner design is bad too. And the placement for the power button is absolutely stupid, right next to the base of your left hand. They claim that makes it harder to accidentally turn off, but the placement of the power button on the DS Lite is completely safe. I've never accidentally turned mine off. You HAVE to try to turn it off. The volume slider is a button now, so that's even worse. Analog sliders > digital buttons any day.So far, I see no benefit in getting this. I hope my DS Lite never breaks.

I've never liked eggplant all too much. Every time I eat it, it's too spicy, and the seeds are bitter. I heard on Food Network that you should get rid of the seeds, because they have a little nicotine in them which makes them bitter. I suppose I've never really had it prepared correctly or in a way that I would like, but my experiences with it so far aren't very memorable.

While that sounds like a good idea, I don't really like it all too much. I prefer to think of the internet as all of these pages that people have made, not as a bunch of people exchanging files just for no good reason. We already have those, and people already exchange illegal material on such things. No matter what is done to the future of the internet, It won't be changed past this. The government of any country, especially the United States can't try something like monitoring the internet, it would make too many people mad, at least, I hope it would. I guess the best thing to do is not to try and predict the bad future, but to try and prevent it.

I think this is pretty messed up. They're both grown people. They have no business playing a game that, by the looks of it, was designed for two year old kids. Still sounds like a pretty serious punishment just for deleting a guy's character, but I'm not the law.

Most of the interestingly hilarious ones I've seen are from a place I used to frequent called Sprites Inc. I always loved to look at some of the screen names they could come up with.The Mighty Fish of Spring (Sprites Inc)Tuna Unleashed (Sprites Inc)The Sian Random Man (Sprites Inc)People can give themselves pretty odd names. At least I thought they were funny

Oh, ok. I see what you're talking about now. For some reason, I was thinking about this all wrong, but I get you now. Just set it up to redirect the subdomain that I'm on now to the domain I set up. Makes perfect sense. Thanks again.

Thank you very much, that's most certainly helpful. If I have any other questions, I'll make sure to ask. I do suppose that when you say CPanel, you mean the Domain's CPanel, not my site's cPanel, correct? On my site's cPanel (currently using cPanel X), there's not a domain tab, but there is a button for "Addon Domains" and "Parked Domains", as well as a "Manage Redirects" button, but that's only to redirect certain files to other files.

It's been a long time since I learned HTML. It was back when my site was hosted on freewebs and I switched over to "HTML only" mode. Man that was forever ago Not knowing anything is really a kick start to learning something.I learned HTML from w3schools.com. I really only learned the basics, to get me on my feet, then I started looking at the code of other sites, modifying it, and learning from experience. I took a class on HTML last year at school, but the teacher was pretty terrible, and it was really boring. (I slacked off a lot, too.) Overall, I suggest for people to teach themselves as much about Computer stuff as they can, because it gets really boring after a little while when people try to teach it to you, unless they're great teachers. HTML is an extremely easy language to learn and the basics can be learned exceptionally fast.

I'm not sure if this goes here, or if there's one already somewhere else, so please excuse me on either account.I'm planning on getting a domain pretty soon (from here, of course) and it will be my first one, so I would like someone who has experience in this area to tell me how to set it up properly, and what I need to do so that people who have my current site URL won't have to ask me what the new one is (Affiliates and such).Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.

In order to add a bit of extra content to my site, I make Wallpapers. I realize they're not the world's greatest, but I think they're ok. The thing about just having them sit around on my site is that you never really get any criticism on them, so hopefully I can get that here. Before the question is raised - the character art is not mine, I just clean it up. The background effects are what I do. I use Paint.NET exclusively for all of these wallpapers, except for this one. It was an experiment in Photoshop. I don't like how it turned out. ShadowMan.EXE Forte.EXE Dynamo (PSP size) QuickMan So like I said, any criticism is much appreciated.

I've got a ton of consoles. I wish I was lucky enough to have a Commodore 64, Intellivision, and Colecovision... but I do have

The story is really confusing in Kingdom Hearts. Definitely play the first one all the way through to the end. In order to really understand the second one, you have to also play Chain of Memories (which was recently remade for the PS2 as "Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories"). I didn't beat the first one and decided to jump right into the second one. I was confused until way later in the story... so, Chain of Memories isn't really required... just suggested.

I've had a Wii since launch. Stayed up until 4 to get it at Gamestop, that was really fun. The real downside to the Wii is the lack of online multiplayer games. Super Smash Bros Brawl has it, but it's trash because of the lag. Pretty much the best online multiplayer game they have on it is Mario Kart Wii. The lack of games for gamers is kind of a let down, but I think that's soon going to change. I prefer my Wii to the Xbox 360 and most certainly to the PS3, which all I hear about is complaints. People rag on the Wii all the time about its graphics, but a long time ago, graphics didn't matter at all. The superior Sega never truly outdid the NES, so it shouldn't matter now. I guess people are just kind of stupid like that. I think it's definitely got the potential to be the best console ever released, and after two years, it's kind of dissapointing a lot of people... and at the same time, drawing in more people. Pretty soon, hopefully, they'll use that potential to its fullest.

I don't think that the installation had anything to do with it. I don't even remember what mine asked for when I installed it. I would say that you could just install addons manually, but I have no idea how to do that, and I wouldn't feel right suggesting it without being able to help if a problem came up.

Hi everyone. I suppose this tutorial may not be as technical and complicated as others, or maybe even as useful as others, but it's something that's certainly helpful. When I did this, I had no tutorial to run on, so giving back to the community... As most people with one know, the Wii is limited in color. White. White. White. White. That's the color of every accessory it has. However, if you're inclined to a certain color, you can most certainly change the color of your Wii with ease and little expense. Things you'll need: One Wii. One Tri-Wing Screwdriver (can be found on Ebay for remarkably cheap) One Phillips Screwdriver (It has to be small. Sears sells a set of six Phillips and Flat screwdrivers for ten bucks. If you're into taking apart electronics and repairing stuff yourself, this is a good investment.) A can of Vinyl Dye in the color you want. (NOTE: Krylon Fusion paint will PEEL OFF just like any other spray paint. Either it doesn't do as advertised - period, or it doesn't want to stick to glossy surfaces.) A well vented area Patience To start off, unplug your Wii from everything that's attached to it. Here comes the second hardest part to doing this, surprisingly early in the project. Open up the top flaps that expose the Gamecube controller ports and Memory Card bays. Take them off as per the instructions on the inside of the largest flap. You will see three black screws, almost perfectly matching the black part that is under the flaps. STOP: Opening your Wii will of course VOID YOUR WARRANTY if you have one. If you've had your Wii since it was released (give or take) your warranty has already expired, and this will make no difference. (If your Wii breaks now, you'll have to pay a $60 service fee to have it repaired by Nintendo.) Now that that's out of the way, go ahead and take off these screws. They're Phillips, so have your Phillips screwdriver handy. They may be a bit of a challenge to get out, but don't worry, they're not glued in there. Once they're out, lift up the black faceplate. It snaps out, so it may give a bit of a struggle, but don't worry. You won't break the thing. There are two Phillips and two Tri-Wing screws under this, so get those out. Next up, turn your Wii over onto the side with the rubber white 'feet' Carefully get these off. You'll want to put them back on later, so set them down on a clean surface, wax paper is especially useful. I used one of my flat screwdrivers because I lack fingernails. Now that you've popped all of these off, you'll be greeted with four Tri-Wing screws. Take them all out. The ones up near the front are the ones that keep the faceplate on, and according to two accounts of taking the Wii apart, they're the hardest to get out. Try your best. Before you can remove this completely, there is a small cable connected to the Main Board. This is the power cable for the LED lights within the face plate that light it up when you get a Wii Message or some other lovely thing. Carefully unplug it. It's tiny, so fragile comes with the territory. Inside the face plate, you will see another black peice of plastic. Unscrew it. I believe the screws here are Phillips. Take out the plastic piece and lay it aside. You will notice this also takes out the buttons, which is fine. If you want to paint them, keep them together with the stuff you want painted, if not, set them aside in a safe place. You will also notice the LED boards, and a white part with a clear plastic ring around it. Take these out as well. Set them aside in a safe place. If you've kept organized and have a pile of stuff that you want to paint, by now it should at least include: Faceplate. Top Flaps. (If you want to paint the buttons and that black thing that covered the gamecube ports, go right ahead.) Now, shift your attention to the bottom of the Wii. There are more of those rubber 'feet', as well as a few white squares that are nothing more than stickers. Some of these conseal nothing, but most have a screw under them. Take off all of them, once again, being careful not to damage them (The paper-like ones are almost unavoidably damagable, so don't worry too much about them). After removing these screws, the last outside screw is clearly visible. Unscrew this to reveal the CMOS clock battery. It's a common flat cell battery, so take it out and put it somewhere that you won't lose it, as you'll want to paint the cover for it as well. Unlike in a computer, the Wii's CMOS battery controls nothing but the date. You're not damaging any data by taking this out. You'll notice that under this, there's yet another screw, but this is the last one on the outside. After unscrewing that screw, you are now able to open the case. Take off the top part. Your paint pile should now include this large top cover. You will now see a large, silver metal object. This covers the CD drive. Take it off. Set it aside. You're left with the CD drive, some more plastic, and more metal stuff. From hereon out, it's pretty methodical. Remove visible screws until theres' none left that you can see or reach. Take off whatever you just freed and set it aside. NOTE: REMEMBER HOW THIS LOOKS. You will have to put it all back in EXACTLY the reverse order you took it out, or else it won't go back together correctly. If you have to draw a diagram, take notes, whatever helps you, do it. You do not want to screw this up. You will have to unplug the CD drive from its ribbon cable and its data cable. Don't be afraid of this. As long as you remember the spaces this went in, it's no problem. You will also have to unplug these two cables from the main board, but once again, no problem. Unplugging the little fan is probably a good idea, as well. After about 5 minutes of unscrewing, taking off, unscrewing, and taking off, you should have now reached nothing left except the main board. Here is where things are tricky. Take your Phillips screwdriver and unscrew the screws that appear to be holding the heatsink on over the Processor and the Graphics Card. They are NOT holding it on there, so don't be afraid. If you've done everything correctly, you just freed the main board from the bottom plastic part. There is another metal shielding device under it, take it out as well. You now have all of the plastic parts that need to be painted. Set everything that you took out of the wii in a safe, static/magnetism free area. Put it down on something that doesn't do a good job of conducting electricity, like wax paper or a clean rubber bath mat, or even a wooden countertop. Cover it with something that will keep dust off of it, because it's going to go without a cover for almost two days. You're done with the second hardest part now, and as hard as this sounded, believe me, it was very safe for you to do this. The Wii is a pretty resistant little thing. If you're feeling like this is a bad idea, don't. It's a really easy modification that doesn't require anything except a little bit of bravery and patience on your part. Now for the artistic part - painting. Hopefully, you went out and got your paint before doing this. The problem with Vinyl Dye (which can be ordered off of the internet at various producer's websites, or bought at your local auto parts store) is that it comes in very limited colors. The brand I used only had Black, Blue, Red, Glossy Black, Khaki, and Yellow. I used glossy black. You may have to be 18 to buy this stuff, as it is technically spray paint, but they never asked me for ID. So, you're wondering what Vinyl Dye is and why it's so special. According to various resources I read, it's paint that alters the chemicals of the plastic it touches, so its able to put the dye under the top layer of plastic, making it a permanent change. If done right, it's a scratch resistant paint, so it looks professional when you finish up. The other best part is that it doesn't stick to anything it wasn't designed to stick to. If you hit wood with it, it comes right off after drying, almost like some kind of plastic wrap. The downside is this stuff smells terrible. Worse than any spray paint, so if you can, do this job outside. As it says on the can, make sure the surface you plan to spray is clean. I washed mine with warm soapy water and dried it thoroughly before spraying. Follow all the instructions on the can and paint everything you plan on painting with the stuff. Allow it to dry for 30 minutes to an hour and follow up with another coat. Now, let it sit for 24 hours. Make sure that you gave everything an even coat, or else it'll look bad. After this, simply put everything back together. Hopefully, you diagrammed your Wii's inner workings or something to make putting this thing back together simpler, because it is a challenge getting it back together, in fact, it's harder than it was to take it apart. This is the hardest part of the entire job, yet notice I still said "simply". After getting it all screwed back together (I put significantly less screws back into my Wii than I took out...) it should be working like it did before. Reset your date, and you're good to go. Enjoy your newly colored Wii, and if you want, paint your controllers too. Show off, sell modded Wiis and controllers, do whatever. Like I said, this isn't hard. There's a very small chance of failure, but there's a greater chance of you dying today than screwing up the Wii like this, so go ahead and give it a try. Here are some pictures of my stuff after painting it black. I kept the buttons white to acheive a contrast look that turned out even better than I thought it would.

You know, believe it or not, but I never have seen this used anywhere. In fact, I believe I was confused more by reading this topic to find out what Lorem Ipsum is than to not know. :)So people just use it to fill in space where they don't have anything else to put, right? If that's the case, I can't believe I've never seen it used before, I've seen a lot of space on websites go with nothing in them. Maybe I just don't get around enough or something. Good to know, either way.

TFCPH hosts my website, so I suppose I'll review them, especially since there isn't review already here for them. In my opinion, the hosting is top notch. Much like Xisto, they operate on a post for hosting system. It's relatively simple and you never really see any points for posts you get, which kind of makes it strange, but I don't ask any questions. They have remarkable uptime, great plans, and friendly administrators. The only real downside is how dead the forums are often times. Their best plan, with 1gb space and 15gb transfer takes a while to get, so that's probably another downside, but it kind of ties in with the fact the forums aren't really lively. They have for the past two years offered Cpanel hosting, but I believe that's soon going to change, given what the administrative body has been saying there.Overal, 9/10 for sure.

The point at which he says his computer cuts off doesn't seem to indicate a virus. I'm almost 100% certain it's a hardware issue of some sort. Also, as a quick check... The computer itself does stop running right, the screen doesn't just switch to "No Input" while the computer is still on, correct? If the computer is still running and the monitor turns off, it's a problem with the port on your graphics card.

Yeah, I was correcting it. I have a stocking big enough to shove large presents into, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a tree up... Normally if we use that, it just gets filled with smaller presents.

I won't really be doing much, pretty much the same stuff I do every year, hang out with friends and visit family, eat a lot of good food, and slack off until I have to go back to school. None of my teachers gave any homework over the break, so I don't have to worry about doing anything, really (we do have an extra credit project I plan on doing, though).

I really love all of the Super Mario games. Topping my list of favorites would have to be Super Mario Bros. (first one), Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario 64, and Super Mario Galaxy... and that's really a lot of games to have at the top of my list. I suppose to narrow it down to one, I would have to say Super Mario 64... There's not really a chance of topping that one, yet... it just had so much greatness in it. Galaxy comes close, though.

Ah man, I've played so many games, it's hard to pick out the top five most epic, and then it's hard to put them in any specific order.1. Mother 3 (Probably the only one I'm not going to have to second guess about.)2. Metroid Prime3. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption4. Super Mario RPG5. Mother 2 (Not sure if this should be 4...)Yeah, really hard... I'll probably end up changing my mind right time I click "Post". :/

"Stocking" is an over sized sock that we hang over our fireplace. They're most of the time filled with small goods that don't really need to be wrapped.As for my Christmas wish list, it's kind of empty. There's really not anything I want, so I just have my parents give me money, so that when I want something later, I can get it. Really, if the iPod touch had a size less than 8 (like maybe 3) I would want that, but I have several complete OSTs on my computer and they total at less than 1 gig, and I don't even listen to half of that. 8 gigs is way too much, unless you just absolutely love every bit of music ever made. Mostly, everything I want I already have, or isn't out yet. Or, in the worst case scenario, it's too expensive.
