  1. Hi guys, Recently, i found this amazing piece of software called Xara 3D which has amazing number of graphics that can be tailored to your needs. Personally I love the gold effects which look really realistic. You can save the stuff in a huge number of formats and you can have a huge number of boards and frames, including animations. It really does look quite good and you can use it to create your own animations and stuff like that. PM me if you need more details, but it really is quite good. It's got really low sytem requirements. This shows how easy it is to edit advanced graphics, and if you need a few examples just google search it. You can integrate it into web banners and logo's.
  2. I have just been browsing round this forum and have seen a few members with negative mycent. First, I wanted to ask why do they have it in negative figures because surely if you don't have enough mycent then your package will just cut off.My theory on why this happens is someone takes a really expensive plan for a year or two and then stops posting and the contract doesn't terminate. This is quite worrying because what if you forget to post a bit, and if you are in negative mycent what can it go up to, and do you just need to post normally to get them all away.
  3. This is a really sensitive topic. I think that when someone is in the position of wanting to commit suicide, I doubt that they relly think of the legal staus of the action, and if you do chick them in jail after their failed attempt, they may even fare worse off.However, i think that if someone is paralysed, and will never move again, I think that you should always decide to consider the best option, and in that kind of case perhaps it would be a much better option to help them commit suicide.
  4. I was about to tell my sisters about this, but then I remembered how scared how they are already of daddy long legs, I thought that giving them this fact would probably make them tip over the edge lol. But I don't think that daddy long legs are the most poisonous because I have always thought that it was infact the black widow, and it seems that most people on these forums have agreed with me.
  5. Is twitter just a network of blogs or something, so is it better than facebook or myspace? So, if I want to blog should I make a wordpress one or join twitter. Any of you got profiles i might want to look at to get a feel of it?
  6. I am also very satisfied with it, but about the aol one, I'm just wondering, how would you go about confirming ownership of the domain. Is it much the same way as before, where you would go around and change your mx records, and your cname record etc.
  7. Yeah, trap admiral sounds pretty good, so they should make it sound like an army of trappers or something so trap soldier, or something. Right now I don't really like this system of Newbie, becuae it makes me feel like an undervalued member. Ah well only 15 more posts to go then I can actually be a 'member' woohoo.
  8. Lol that sort of makes sense. I suppose that that is true, but knowing the large number of cracks and stuff available it is quite a large loss of money if a lot of people do use them. I remember seeing a bbc news report and that news report said that the market for pirated software was making billion pound losses (no prize for guessing which contry i'm in lol). But anyway, I thing that microsoft are aware of the problem, it's just that it's so widepsread that they are trying but they are only taking small pigeon steps, but the others are taking very long strides, so no luck.
  9. Hi, i'm presuming that you would have to purchase it by navigate to some section which contains all of the addons, much like purchasing a domain name. I also want to ask are there any other additions that can be purchased, and as no one's replying to my other post, can I buy as many domains as I want, and can I like hold competitions like win a domain a month, and buy it for them using mycents. Of course I would give them my username and password, I would make them use an external dns server. But I just want to confirm whether this is allowed. An furthermore, does nayone know which scripts this mycents is, because I want to use a similiar system on my forum, but I am just unsure of what script to use. Thanks
  10. Linux is much more secure as of now, but don't you think that that could possibly be becuase of the slow uptake of linux, and also just becuase most of the viruses that are made for windows. As a purely precautionary manner I still decide to install an antivirus scanner. But on the whole it is pretty much a secure and stable system. In fact, I read in a magazine that you could actually use a linux system to run a virtual installation of windows, and on that test windows viruses. Now I was thinking that the fact that you have the courage to do that must mean that you trust the system pretty well. Do any of you know and dual or triple threat viruses that can attack both linux systems and windows or even the apple mac.
  11. Personally I think that google apps is much better as someone ahead of me said, first of all because it is supported by Google, which for many people is a reason in itself, but also becauser it's got such a huge range of features than can be added, such as mail and calendar. Also according to google, the free version is still amazing: Standard Edition Free Same storage space as regular gmail.com accounts (over 7 GiBs as of September 2008) Text ads mandatory Premier Edition 50 $USD / account / year 25 GB space for e-mail Text ads optional Integrated Postini "security, compliance, policy management, and message recovery services" Conference room/resource scheduling 99.9% e-mail uptime guarantee APIs for Single Sign On, etc. 24/7 phone support 3rd party applications and services Education Edition Same as Premier Edition except for: Free for "accredited not-for-profit K-12 schools, colleges, and universities" No uptime guarantee No integrated Postini services Google may serve ads to accounts not associated with enrolled students, non-profit staff or volunteers [8] Same storage space as regular gmail.com accounts (over 7 GiBs as of September 2008) [1] So it's a much more profitable pick.
  12. oh hi xpress,thanks for the info. how much does this addon pack cost and can you purchase it using mycents?
  13. hi guys i just want to ask a few questions can you buy as many domains as you can afford and can you slso give those domains to someonecelse by like giving them it on a separate dns site.
  14. now i'm just wondering that if you decide yo go ahead and buy a domain name then does it come with full dns control or would you have to change the nameservers to some otherservice like easydns , because whilst i know that you xan change nameservers i'm unsure about the dns control.
  15. Notice from truefusion: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/90175-what-made-you-switch-to-linux/ Doesn't seem to be your story. Keeping topic alive due to the amount of users that have already posted.
  16. I was reading something the other day in a marketing magazine where there tends to be a moving shift into consumers interest into business that have an ethical basis. It was saying that fast becoming some of the more common questions before "how much can you do it for?" are questions like: "is it environmentally friendly", "Is your business affiliated with any sort of charity". I have always felt that the way Microsoft has been developed has been one of "all is fair in business" by kicking down anybody who might want to share the spotlight. However the Google brand to me has always come across to me to being more ethical and cooperative with the broader community... I dont have much to back this up but by the general feeling of the bran I have gotten seeing it grow over the years. Microsoft plays it hard. But a lot of the money they got out of it is being used for charity and improving the world. And is Google really 'doing no evil'? What about their pact with China to activily help censoring the internet for billions of chinese people? What about their link-farm-sites on which they put the ads of smaller advertisers, which is... well.. at least strange.. And their recent decesion to cut off sites with not enough traffic from some of their advertising-programs simply because it didn't make Google enough money? Is there really something like ethics in bussiness? And should there be? By playing it hard and making your company succesfull also means you're helping the economy and creating jobs for people.Google is the type of organization that will hire you and allow you to walk around in shorts and sandals. At the same time, it's on the cutting edge of creative development, and rewards forward-thinking, motivated employees. This doesn't necessarily describe a moral "ethic," but it does paint a pretty good picture of the company's work "ethic" and its appeal to Gen Y. But back to the issue of morality, it's simply an issue of where the Information Age is taking consumers. Society as a whole is becoming more and more "open source" friendly, and people genuinely like digital products that can be personalized to suit their needs. I think Google's main advantage is that it tapped into that mindset early and frequently, whereas Microsoft did not. The actual level of philanthropic work either company involves in is not as relevant.I guess peoples opinions on a particular company/brand can be manipulated by a slick branding campaign. With the right campaign a product can relate to you or you may feel that brand represents you, your subculture or your philosophy. Its interesting because as MrBlueSky said Microsoft may be involved in just as much or even more ethical busines than Google... However as said by deStructuralized because of the bias picture I have painted in my own head (possibly because of the way the brand relates to me and my culture... such as open source and customization and free software products) I am somehow developed this idea that one company is more ethical than the other... just because I feel one represents me better. Does anybody else have an opinion on this sort form of marketing (does it influence you) and how do you think these to companies stand up (from an ethical stand point at least)?
  17. Now what I would usually do is create a cname record that points to the necessary servers to do what you aim to do. CNAME RRs incur performance overheads. The most common DNS query is for an A RR, or an AAAA RR if IPv6 - the end system needs an address which is only defined with these RR types. In the above example if a query for the address of http://www.example.com/ is received, two look-up operations are performed on the master or slave server. The first finds http://www.example.com/ which finds a CNAME RR. This is followed by a query for server1.example.com to obtain the IP, that is, the CNAME chain is followed to attempt to resolve the request for an IP address. On low volume DNS servers the additional resources used are not significant but on high volume servers the additional load can become non-trivial. The user must make a choice to balance what many see as the convenience of using CNAME RRs against the possible performances degradation involved.CNAME RRs cannot have any other RRs with the same name, for example, a TXT - well that was true until DNSSEC came along and in this case RRSIG, NSEC and certain KEY RRs can now occupy the same name.While use of CNAME RRs with NS and MX records is widely implemented and generates a working configuration it is theoretically not permitted (RFC 1034 section 3.6.2) since it can result in lost names. The fragment below illustrates a widely used but technically invalid configuration.
  18. Having a tld does not necassarily make it much faster. All it does is make it much more proffessional. My brother;s site is a .co.nr site and it appears much more quickly and ahead of other .com domains when using a generic search trigger. My site also is .co.cc (until i get a domain with trap 17 lol) and it appears much quicker. I think that the main reason you should get adsense is because of the money making prospect, so why not. regarding AdSense, it can be a useful method for generating revenue on a content site that doesn't necessarily sell a product. This can still be a quality site, and beneficial to its visitors. The types of sites you're referring to are typically labeled 'MFA', an acronym for "Made For AdSense", and these sites typically provide little or no value to their visitors, as they're typically comprised of scraped or regurgitated content and advertising alone. Google's search pages (AdWords), I don't believe these are related to Google's crawling and indexing your site - I'm pretty sure the two processes are unrelated. The best ways to get indexed in Google are to obtain links from related, quality websites, and to include a Google Site Map with your website. You can also obtain links by submitting your site to website directories, and by submitting on-topic articles to article directories, with a link to your site in the Resource Box. However adsense can also be bad Its just too hard and costly to get visitors to a webpage, just to redirect them to someone else's website. I might make arrangements with other marketers so that I could send my visitors to an affiliate link, but I'd prefer to send visitors to a sales page or a squeeze page. Once you get a visitor to your site, the best thing to do is get their contact information so that you can develope an ongoing relationship with that person. Of course I'm talking about list building. The object here is to make a "friend". Not introduce them to someone else so they can be their friend.
  19. Don't you feel that becauase of things like this, isn't it odd that all of these big companies start crying about people making keygens and things. Because, it appears, as from your topic, that the key you use becomes invalidated. Now if you purchased the software, then surely you should have the right to install it an unlimited number of times, as long as you install it the same number of times. Haven't microsoft been inunduated with these kind of calls, seeing as you have to always reinstall windows. Now, I am pretty sure that everyone, and despite all of the random reasons that come out of microsoft, i bet every microsoft employee would definitely agree that it would be much easier if there was just a keygen. Even I, who have a genuine copy of windows, after re-installing it for the billionth time, I encountered the same problem, but I just took 10 secs to get a keygen and voila. Now of course I have installed windows vista, but for me that was much easier, and much quicker, so that I could just go and get going with my newly installed system. The fact remains, however, that some of these companies are becoming far too stringent, never mind the spore debacle, but all of these massive companies almost manage to scare you into doing what you want to do. So, how exactly is making us pay or call to buy somehing we already own demonstrate that this statement is true. Come on Microsoft, get real lol. RANT OVER lol
  20. .The only reason that the google chrome browser is ahead of the rest of the pack is because it's just so amazingly sparse. Aside from the usual couple of buttons, chrome only has two which are unique to it. personally for the meanwhile i will actually use chrome because it is, at the current moment the least susceptible to pryward but in the long run firefmy will always be the leader. internet explorer is of course out of the question lol. but back to the topic title, chrome is definitely the fastest browser out there:)
  21. i recently read something in a magazine that discusses the various user of this software. personally, i find it a really usefull site because you can use it to model ur new porch, or something along those lines. as with all google products, it has a very short learning curve, so it really is pick up and in, or perhaps more realistically, download and go
  22. lol. Well, i had recently purchased a new dell axim x51, but it ran into some trouble with some software, [i was trying to use a fingerprinting software, but it just wouldn't start. I git their phone number from the dell website, and gave them a ring. After the inevitable wait, a really friendly guy came on. he asked the usual details and then proceeded with helping of to resolve my problem which was merely a ell file issue so just a simple download. However my advice is that you had a few bad experiences so you shouldn't give up on then . lol, it's like a dear of heights, you just have to conquer
  23. I think that if you had written your post in a better fashion then we would have believed you lol. Also, could youperhaps include a definition of freelance writers for others. Anyway, I think that google, (oh yes the mighty google) and as someone mentioned before, Craiglist, is a very goodplace to start, or you could just ask someone personally, or send some stuff to newspapers to seee what they would say. However, just to be sure, you should read a few novels to see whther you could improve your writing, read a wide variety, from the poular Harry Potter and Devil wears prada, to something more abstract that most people may not have heard about, or something difficult like 20000 leagues under the sea?However, I wish you luck in your pursuits.
  24. Wrong, because on some download sites, when I'm trying to download a software the speeds are just so amazingly slow that I almost want to give up, but instead I use torrents, and as there are loads of seeds to it, it appears I'm not the only one. Also, what happens if something happens and you lose a game disc or something something similiar then u r stuck, or you could go and use torrents. But I suppose that you are write in some cases, but what if the reason behind that huuman act is simply to replace a game disc. And it;s not much effort finding torrents, in fact it's practically seraching google. I think that the only reason torrents are used illegally is because of the accessibilty and the diverse use of them, and no effort to curb the illegal users from the larger companies.
  25. I think that you should install Joomla, and phpbb3, and then wrap pbpbb3 in a wrapper, then bridge it. I could help you if you want. Fireboard forum is great, but it does lack some depth, because it is a very basic message board, and if you install a shout box or something wihich runs on Ajax it will stop running, adn then you have to somehow export everything to some oter place.Personally I think that you should go with the Joomla and phpbb3 combo which I can help you with of course. Just pm me ore something if you need more advice,
