Yeah, the support team should be able to offer you an exact answer as to whether that will run on the servers. I'm pretty sure that shared hosting won't let you run the JRE required to run that software, but you can ask anyway. A VPS or dedicated server would let you run the JRE (as far as I know) but are a lot more expensive.

This looks like the only place I could find where you could play Monopoly for free online: http://www.pogo.com/games/monopoly?sl=2 Remember that Monopoly is a trademark, so I'm guessing any site that wants to offer a version of Monopoly is going to have to pay royalties for the name. You might be better off looking for generic property games online - you'll probably find a lot of clones of Monopoly. If you can't finda site, you can always try out AtlantiK. The public servers don't seem to have too many people on them at the moment though, unfortunately.

Hi, welcome to Xisto! If you're here for the great free web hosting then you'll need to register at the billing site using the same email address you used when you created your forum account. That links the two accounts together so that you can earn myCENTs (virtual cash) for your posts and have them deposited in your billing account. The higher the quality of your posts, the more myCENTs you earn. Once you've earned enough you can order hosting or domains using the billing site, and select myCENTs as your payment method - voila, free hosting! Hopefully I'll see you around the forums soon

On the subject of software that can create them:You need to make sure the image is square, usually 16x16, 32x32 or 64x64 pixels. You will also most likely need to limit the palette of the icon to the colours you actually use. Then save it as an ICO file. The GIMP can create and save ICO files, and is a fully-featured image editor. There are also plenty of tools out there to create ICO files, and tools to convert other images files to the ICO format.

Do you mean you want to create an operating system based on Linux (a distribution) like Ubuntu or Fedora? Or do you mean you want to write your own operating system from the ground up, all the code yours? If you want to make a Linux distribution, take a look at Linux from Scratch. It's a free book that teaches you all you need to know about creating your own Linux distribution from scratch, starting with the kernel. This means you don't have to deal with creating a bootloader, writing a kernel and all that - you can use premade ones, and thousands of prewritten software packages, to build a Linux distribution. Whether you can call it your own operating system is another matter; all you're doing is picking and choosing the parts you want. If you're going to write an operating system from the very basics upwards, including a boot loader, kernel, GUI, etc. then you're in for a long ride. You'll need a good working knowledge of C or C++, and also of Assembler. There is some useful information here that you could take a look at, especially the recommended reading at the end. You'll also probably want to get a copy of the AMD Developer Manuals and Intel Developer manuals, depending on what architectures you intend to support with your OS.

Traditionally the favicon is called favicon.ico and inserted into the same folder as the web page. Browsers then automatically pick it up. As xpress has said, you'll need to find some software that can create ICO files. Alternatively there are a few websites that let you create a basic icon and download the ICO file. Newer browsers are now adding support for PNG, GIF and JPG files as icons, although you will need to tell the browser where these are stored with the following code: <!-- For a .ICO file --><link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; /><!-- For a .PNG file --><link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; /><!-- For a .GIF file --><link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; /> For Internet Explorer you need to use the following code, because Microsoft just hates standards... <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; />

I visit my bank each time I need to transfer money from one account to another. In the UK there is still a 3 day delay on moving cash around between certain banks, so it's quicker for me to walk out of my flat to one bank, withdraw the cash and walk to the other end of the city centre to deposit it than use Internet banking I also visit the bank to pay in cheques, because it's quicker than doing it by post or via the post office.

Moved from Role Playing Games to Java & Java Script. Please pay attention to where you make topics. Thanks.The Java language was in fact named from a list of random words It started initially as Oak, then Green, then finally Java.JavaScript was coined by Netscape, originally as Mocha, then LiveScript. It seems like JavaScript was picked to cause confusion with Java, support for which had been added to Netscape's browser. Using the name JavaScript implied some sort of connection. It's also possible to link the original name, Mocha, to Java via coffee, so JavaScript could be a sort of combination of the previous two names for the language.

The design is good but there are a few things that could be improved. The Google search box at the top is far too big for what it contains - just a small search bar. Moving the search box to one of the sidebars would let you remove that box in the central content area, bringing the third template on the page up above the fold and into people's view more. The colour choice, lime green and vivid orange, is not something I'm too keen on, but that is somewhat down to personal taste. The "Main Menu" side box has a green header, while all the others have an orange title - it might be worth making them all match, as I see no reason for the main menu box to have a different colour. Also, I would argue against it being the "main menu". Most people are most likely to head straight for the categories of themes, rather than your terms of service or the contact link. Try swapping the categories box to the top of that sidebar. The category links themselves don't match anything else. While this makes them stand out, the text is a little bit difficult to read, and could be changed to make it a bit easier to read them. Finally, the "Other Links" box on the right looks a bit cluttered and out of place - the contents of it don't match the rest of the site and just look slightly out of place to me.Other than those few minor issues, it's a good site design

Ping-o-matic is a good place to start. It will submit the fact your site has been updated to all the sites you tick, so you can submit to lots at once from one place. Drupal also includes a module called Ping that automatically does this for you each time your Drupal cron job runs. Enable the module and get it submitting to every site you can - then you don't need to worry about going round updating them all manually each time you write a new post.

I've taken a look at your site and the tags look good and follow the 'standard' set for tagging by most websites. As your site grows you might look into getting a Drupal plugin that changes the font size for tags depending on their popularity or whatever. That will allow people to see instantly which tags are most popular, and find your most popular content and topics. That's something for the future though. Keep a regular schedule and stick to it. If people can't predict when content will appear then they will likely not bother to hang around and wait for it. Even if you're not getting a lot of traffic (inevitable with any new site) stick to your schedule and keep posting. Search engines will index everything and you'll gradually attract more users - even from very old posts that are still popular.

I'm going to buck what seems to be the general trend, and say that I quite like phpBB. I guess I'm used to the structure and codebase of it, and the features it offers. However, there are problems and I do look at other forum software regularly - I just haven't had the need recently to create a forum for anyone. punBB I also like for its sheer simplicity and speed for a simple forum. If you don't need the tons of features offered by other forum software, it's a great choice. It also allows you to build it up to what you need, by adding each feature as you need it - even for things as commonplace as PMs.

Topics in the Moderated area of the forums need moderator approval before they appear. Most people don't spot that and post topics two or three times and then get annoyed they haven't appeared instantly. It's only there to stop the large amounts of spam that would otherwise get through and get displayed on the forums. I've removed two copies of your topic, and moved this one back to the Website Discussion section I'm guessing this was some sort of school or personal project then? Traditionally websites are put online when you want lots of people to look at them, so that's a good idea It's like turning to a friend and saying "You know, I'm not going to set a man-eating tiger on you". While perfectly true, and logically reassuring, it doesn't generally fill people with confidence! The same goes for that URL - while perfectly true, most people will be incredibly suspicious of clicking a link titled "thisisnotascam.tld". I'd certainly advise against "thisisnotascam.tld". The "scamproof" addresses already look taken for most TLD extensions, so you would be competing against those domains in the search results. "Scamsafe" was my next idea, which looks free on the .net TLD, although you would be competing against the .com and .org versions. "safe-scam.com" is also available, but I'm not sure that really works as a web address and to tell users what the site actually offers. "Scam-safety.com" also looks like it's available. There's some to think about anyway Rather than using Adsense, I'd recommend Project Wonderful. People bid for the advertising space on your site and you get paid for the time the advert is displayed rather than the number of hits or clicks. Certainly worth a look compared to Adsense.

As I'm sure you know from looking at other blogs, most people now use tags rather than strictly defined categories. This means you are not restricted to a few limited categories, which are not always suitable for a particular post. It also allows you to see which areas you are writing in the most, as those tags will have more posts associated with them. They're easier for your users too. Say they want to find an article on French politics - they can search for the tags "France" and "politics" rather than looking through ambiguous categories (would it be in Politics, Europe, Opinions, or whatever). Tag each one with key words related to the content of the post. Don't make the tags so vague that most posts get assigned them - make them specific enough that each one narrows down the content. Of course, make them related to the actual content of the post too. Too many people tag posts on their site with supposedly related terms that turn out to be useless. Just imagine you are trying to find the post you have just written - what words would you associate with it that make it stand out from your other posts, and what words describe its general topics? Log in to Drupal. Go to Administer > Content management > Taxonomy. For free tagging: Click "Add vocabulary" Call it something like "Tags" and give it a general description if you want to Tick the content types you want to be able to tag (usually story, sometimes page too) Tick the "Tags" and "Multiple select" boxes. If you want your posts to require tags, tick the "Required" box too Click Save For defined categories: Click "Add vocabulary" Call it "Categories" or something Tick the content types you want to categorise Make sure "Tags" isn't ticked. If you want to be able to put a post in multiple categories, tick "Multiple select". If you want to require all posts to be categorised, tick "Required" Click Save Click "Add terms" for this vocabulary Type your category in the "Name" box In the Advanced Options section you can assign a parent for each category (such as Pets > Cats, Dogs, Fish) and also synonyms Repeat from step 6 for each category you want to add

Checking over the terms of service (I found my University is listed and let me log in) it looks like the only restriction is that you can't use the software for commercial or business purposes - for learning only. I assume the drive for Microsoft is that they would rather people get used to using Microsoft tools and have to buy them in the future than get used to using a Mac or Linux instead. If they offered everything free with no restrictions, however, then they would never sell any software to you when you finally graduate.

An English version of your site must be available so that the staff can check it conforms to the terms of service. The translation must also (obviously) be accurate. I'm not sure where the line is drawn with automated translations such as those offered by Google and Babelfish. If you're at all unsure then send a ticket to the support department asking if they are OK with automatic translations. Are these MP3 files released under a licence that allows you to distribute them? Files released under Creative Commons licences (or similar), or files that are your own work, should be fine. However, commercial MP3s, copyrighted works etc, can only be hosted if you have the express permission from the copyright holder. If you are intending to host copyright MP3 files then you will not get hosting. Xisto needs to obey international copyright law. If the files are illegal then hosting them on another site and linking to them is not an option either. Just make sure that all the files you upload and link to are legal and it's fine. As far as I know it still applies for a TLD as the support staff have to check that all content being hosted is legal, which is difficult to do if the site is in a language they don't speak.

I have wasted a particularly large amount of my time playing it I like the puzzle/physics games like this, and I also like the fact they release a native Linux version of the game, which works flawlessly What other reasons do you need to get the game?! All the levels are challenging, but not so challenging that you give up and go to a different game - just enough to keep you hooked and trying one more time.

Hi! Welcome to Xisto Register at the billing page here, using the same email address as you used for your forum account: https://support.xisto.com/ That links your forum account with the billing system, so you can earn myCENTs and have them deposited in your billing account. When you've earned enough just order it in the normal way, and select myCENTs as the payment method It's also worth checking out the rules and readme, just to make sure you stay on the right side of them Welcome again, and I hope to see you around the forums!

Generally people password protect files to keep people from accessing them unless they have the right to. So, generally, if you don't have the password you shouldn't have access to the file's content. Perhaps if you tell us why you need access to this particular file we might be able to help.

If you can still see an image when you hold a strong light to the screen then it sounds like the backlight has just gone, or is having trouble dealing with high brightnesses now. It might be worth taking a look on eBay for a broken laptop of the same model as yours and taking the backlight out of that. Replacing it in your laptop could be tricky, so make sure you know what you're doing. Also, if the problem is somewhere else (ie. not a faulty backlight) then replacing the backlight won't make any difference.

All of the well known forum software packages will attract spammers, especially if your forum has a large number of members. CAPTCHAs are still fairly effective against most spammers, but only if you alter the settings from the defaults. I think phpBB now includes a CAPTCHA by default, so you should be able to turn that on and bring the spam levels down. Then take a look through the mod database. Just tick the anti-spam box and click search. You'll be shown the anti-spam mods you can install. Take a look at which ones you think will be effective and add them to your forum.

No. Laser and inkjet printers use very different methods for changing the cartridge. In a laser printer the toner cartridge is generally quite large and contains black powder called toner used as the ink on the page. They generally need changing less often but can be fiddly to change. Inkjet printers use small ink cartridges filled with liquid ink. They're generally easier to change, but it needs to be done much more often. If you check the manual for your printer you should find step-by-step instructions for replacing the ink or toner cartridge.

I think RealTimeRace is probably the closest to real life. It appears to be under development by Lotus and allows you to race in real time against people in real live motor races (and other sports eventually). The idea is that you could compete from your living room in Formula 1 races or whatever. They've got some videos on their site, and there is a downloadable demo somewhere (I've lost the link at the moment).

This part of the error gives a clue: It looks like you've missed out a bracket, comma, quote or whatever. As this was an automated backup then either the backup script got it wrong, or the random encoding is causing problems. Exactly why are there so many random symbols in there? This error at the bottom suggests the same thing: It looks like something has gone seriously wrong with the encoding of that file so it simply won't work unless the encoding of the file is fixed, or the database adjusted to accept that encoding.

Looks are very much a personal issue and something you'll have to decide on your own - we can't tell you what style of laptop you like the look of I would recommend steering clear of Packard Bell - my sister has had all sorts of problems with hers, especially with the build quality and customer support. Your personal use for the laptop is also a consideration - are you using this as a gaming machine, a desktop replacement or as a secondary PC to use on the move? What sort of things do you want to do with the laptop? If you're looking a gaming laptop then the new Kobalt G860 is a good bet. It has a new Core i7 Mobile processor, and looks smart in black and silver with a chiclet-style keyboard. If you're looking for a cheaper, more general-use laptop then there is plenty of choice out there. Knowing a budget would certainly help us narrow down the choices for you.
