I also support free software.Well it helps a lot of people and develops the community even faster. Anyways people can always find to make money from the free software and it is not necessarily limited to patentship.You will also notice that Open source is very effecient as the code is improved by hundreds of millions of other coders. Look at Linux and even Firefox. Its more stable than the Microsoff crap.ANother point i think i should stress is that Open Source is not necessarily free software though most of it is.Open source means the source code is provided when you get the product so you can even edit as copmared to the guys who do not provide all the deatils about their product.So yeah...open source rocks and is the future!

Honestly guys...this is not possible unless its a very good get-rich quick scheme.The one way you can money fast is if people spread your word quickly about your venture and then you get a loto fo ad revenunes BUT for you to be this popular and have such hit product...obviously you would have done a lot of work!So I think there is no easy way to money unless if its lottery!Later

Its always nice to have a positive mndset to life you know. Its better to plan and then fail than not to plan at all, echo_of_thunder! And remeber one thing: opportunity comes to those who seek it! I sure hope you quit smoking and achieve your dreams! About the lottery.....well...gamble more! lol!

Funny how time flies right...another year gone..and you've been idle! lol!Me...i've done a lot although i didn't achieve all that i aimed for.What are your resolutions for the new year?I hope to spend more time learning and managing my site as well as doing a degree in software engineering. I also wish to socialize a bit more and get a taste of the other side of the world!Good luck with your resolutions!

I have since started learning PHP. Had a couple of books on my pc...ust wasnt giving it timeMy goal is to learn all the major languages by the end of 2009.I would like to start creating and editing mods to my liking. How long do you guys thnk it's going to take me or how long did it take you folks?Thanks for the feedback xpress

I would say Nike.Adidas is not really good especially in swimming..booked out of a deal because the swimmers complained their suits were not matching those by Speedo!!SO no thanks..Nike rocks!

I was just thinking about starting a venture and having some internet folks from all over the world involved. I am not too sure if this is a good idea as they may take advantage and claim to own the business! lol!You see...the problem i hav is that of finding other people who can amange a site with me and have us do some real work. I've had to work alone for most part of my early career...im 19 right now. Once took in some friends but it went sour after a few days.Are people on the internet that much to be trusted?

Size: 960 x 270 Theme: Blue box here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Render: no Render Theme: Social community Color: anything that blends in with the theme. I 'm thinking about something blue-ish with white as well. Text: Yes Africanpeeps..connect with other Africans from around the world! Other effects: Would also like some people to appear since its about a social community. (preferably young african people.)

I would say Firefox. Its got a lot of addoons puls is compatible with a lot of software.I design websites and IE is just a pain. Does not recognize simple scripts and you have write multiply codes for different pages!However when it comes to speed...i've realised sometimes its actually faster than FF!

Given how much irregularities the bible contains, I wouldn't even take nothing for granted! It's very funny for someone to give a date..Let's just wait and find oy

Come on..American football is definitely a beefed up version fo rugby but it rocks! it aint for sissy man but for man who can stand for themselves against other men. The issues about them being bullied by their wives at homes is totally irrelevant as there is no evidence to support that. Maybe all the great players we know even in golf,soccer,baseball or even soldiers also get harrassed by their wives....so what? We are taking about what happens on the field here. Soccer on the other hand is a sissy sport, you have guys like ronaldo and all other chaps diving for no particluar reason! they cant stand up against other sissies! Soccer just bores me to death. The players also do not have respect for refeeres...they lack sportsmanship. I have never seen a rugby official being harassed or being criticised openly by players on the field. They just gulp down the wrong decisions like man and can control themselves and just continue play! wow! Football players, spit on officials...get assaulted by fans and fire back. Rugby as gruesome and physical as it is...does not have these silly incidents and neither does American football. STOP HATING.

Thanks. I finished college last year. I actually had two ideas and i've been working on the other one for a while now. I 'm currently creating a social community for Africans. I have got some great ideas on advertising the site and its going to take some effort but i'm alos willing to give it my all.. Using Google adwords is a very nice idea but my funds are tight at the moment! But hey everything is possible hey! Its now one of my midterm goals. thanks a lot for the suggestion.

A difficult as it may be you have to trust your doctor! Otherwise life would be difficult!I have found that female doctors are easy to trust than male ones...maybe because they are nicer when dealing with me or its something else...!Many doctors know what they do though.

Which one do you guys recommend for someone who wants to design a classy banner and logo? GIMP?I hears its complicated but is't really? fireworks mx is not that good hey.What do you think i should use here?

well in addition to what been already said..you may want to advertise in even more places like your signature and post a lot of topics...the more you post the more people who will check it out.Another thing is to submit it to a lot of directories so that people know you're there alright. Encourage your users to invite their friends and families.Link exchanges are very important in order for Google to notice you...I would advise you to link up with other sites that are relevant to your seo or sites with PR.

My real name is not popular at all! I have never heard of anyone besides me who has it! My real name is not popular at all! I have never heard of anyone besides me who has it!

I have had this same discussion with someone here. Listen folks..India yes they seem to be playing good cricket but lets not forget their pitches are really slow and a lot of teams fail to adapt as a result. Their performance to me has been this incredible because they have been playing at home for a while now. Not to take away their results in Aus..that was superb. Australia is really on the decline. A lot of people are talking about the end for them but i thinks it is just a thing for now and sooner or later...they'll be the team to beat again! South Africa seem to be coming up...only time will tell. One last thing is that the Aussie will have to be beaten for sometime for some other team to take the number one spot from them. But cricket is getting even more interesting than ever because the teams are starting to perform at the same level now!

I have used Joomla. Its a nice CMS one of the best around especially when it comes to installing mods and plugins..not may changes needed and its a flexible system. The other one i'd recommend you is IPB..but you'd have to pay if you want the full version. Its a software for forums and is one of the best as well.. If you're thingk about money then try SMF..its also Open Source and got a helpful and growind community. Right now i am using Dolphin community software. Comes in two versions: a) The ad supported version. The full version without ads but you'd have to pay to remove their links. Its a nice one but is very heavy on the database. Hope this helps.

I wasn't actually talking about security guys but i understand it can be something that can pull some people from facebook. However I thought about it by myself and saw that although i am not necessarily in competition with Facebook and other sites like Myspace...I am competing for the time users give to these sites. What i am saying is that my community will have to offer something that can make someone come to a decision to leave Facebook or Myspace just for those two minutes to check out my community. That is what i believe is the challenge to launching a social networking today..with all this big guys..you have to be a bit smart hey.

hi guys, I have been considering launching a social network for students. However a friend of mine asked me how i intend to beat Facebook or the things that i will offer that will actually drag people from Facebook. This really made me think. I do not know if its actually a threat or can be of help. I have read on some forums about ways by which i can advertise on social networks such as facebook and Myspace. Im really confused over this but i think if i have around 10 000 users on my network i'd be more than happy BUT does this mean i've to offer something that is really unique or just target a niche like what i wanted to do?

Beyonce Knowles..oh and i used to hate Rihanna but now I actually find her so hot!

Well I learnt in Zimbabwe at a school called Prince Edward School..which was one of the best around. Our lessons started at 7.40am and ended at 3.10pm for the juniors and at 1.00pm for the seniors. Rugby was the most popular sport and people who excelled in sports would become prefects. We played sports more than we actually studied and everything was just so cool. It's a boys only school as well!

I think its kinda hard to be yourself in order to get someone to love you.Everybody got some insecurities that they try to hide form the time they smell something may happen or just from the time when they meet up.This we just have to admit. People only come out of their shells probably after marriage that why some break up or claim the other partner is such a bad liar! the lying most often is done with good intentions!Being yourself and revealing things you think are imperfect about you is kinda hard..let just face it.

Well i agree with you. I also think it keeps some of your brain muscles in a healthy state and ready to kick! lol! Its only bad when you feel bad about it or makes you neglect other important things. One other thing that is bad is exposing young ones but if you're of age..it's not bad to watch some every now and then. When i was young i bumped into it online and got the following morning by my older brother! I was embarrassed but did not feel too bad because i knew sometime in his life he had had a glimpse also which i guess makes it natural since everyone gets into it at some point in their life lol!

Folks i heard that its healthy but somehow it may make one infertile after marriage??Oh you may have some problems?
