My bad... Hard to edit via mobile so just remove the close parenthesis in the url

Linux distro war? SLACKWARE! :angel: back on topic, there is a link floating around where you can pre-order windows 7 at a 50 percent discount. i'm on mobile so i can't copy and paste the link here, but check out the tweet by wilw (wil wheaton, https://mobile.twitter.com/i/nojs_router?path=%2Fwilw%2F) for the link. grab the chance at a big discount if you're ready to embrace this new MS OS.

I had to check with CNN first... it looked absurd to see that headline... and it turned out true. rest in peace, michael.

I have yet to watch this transformers sequel. It opens in theaters today for us here, but i don't have it on my schedule just yet. :(I however have read the reviews already yesterday, including roger ebert's. :angel: i dunno if it's gonna taint my assessment of the movie later on though. but having you as a staunch defender of the movie, your review will factor in the final equation. after all the hype before the opening day of transformers: revenge of the fallen, it's but natural for spectators to expect much from the movie. but director michael bay seems to have missed the target market by a large margin: transformers = robots, and robots are as much for kids as for teens and adults. getting the PG13 rating is a big letdown from the very start, especially for kids who would crave to watch it. i won't critique its plot, technical artistry, acting and characterization just yet (of course, i haven't watched it yet )... i'll just try to remember when i watch it that it's intended to be a "fun movie" as Bay extolled in an interview (though it could be an early disclaimer for those who may get disappointed after the credits roll hehe?).i'm excited to watch the 40+ transformers in the movie though. plus the world record explosions as the humans duck and dive around.

if microsoft's https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17621/internet-explorer-downloads has got you frustrated, then you ought to check out http://tengrandisburiedthere.com/ (not by microsoft) and check if you'll have better luck. seriously, with the global economic slowdown, it ain't really surprising that microsoft pounced on the idea of hiding a "treasure" out there to promote IE8. people are out for a quick and easy cash rainfall and any netizen (where promotion is valid) can be expected to grab the opportunity for so little requisite as an updated browser. not that i really know the mechanics of their promo (i can't be bothered to look at it this time ), but if it involves just a download and installation of IE8, it does not even translate to success with their browser in the long run. never mind the new features IE8 purportedly have, it may just gather dust in the system after the promo, especially for netizens who got other better alternatives like firefox, chrome and safari. IE8 can't claim back the users lost already... even with tengrandisburiedHERE. :angel:

when i experienced the same thing as you, i had to buy a firewire card and had it installed on my desktop PC. dunno if there's some addon for a laptop though.the usb to firewire connector you bought, didn't it come with it's own set of drivers? maybe you got to install that instead, not that i think it will be compatible with windows 7 already, but you can still try. or try it on another with a much older windows (XP for less compatibility issues).speaking of macs, don't they have firewire ports built into them by default? since your son has access to a mac, have him check it out.otherwise, short of buying a new firewire card, you can just go to local computer shops in your area... then ask if you can have them transfer and burn your videocam content to a DVD. then you just do the video editing you want after. :angel:hopefully it will cost less than a purchase of new peripherals which may or may not work on your existing system. weigh your options though, since the firewire you buy can be cost-effective especially if you intend to do recurring work on your videocam files.when i experienced the same thing as you, i had to buy a firewire card and had it installed on my desktop PC. dunno if there's some addon for a laptop though.the usb to firewire connector you bought, didn't it come with it's own set of drivers? maybe you got to install that instead, not that i think it will be compatible with windows 7 already, but you can still try. or try it on another with a much older windows (XP for less compatibility issues).speaking of macs, don't they have firewire ports built into them by default? since your son has access to a mac, have him check it out.otherwise, short of buying a new firewire card, you can just go to local computer shops in your area... then ask if you can have them transfer and burn your videocam content to a DVD. then you just do the video editing you want after. :(hopefully it will cost less than a purchase of new peripherals which may or may not work on your existing system. weigh your options though, since the firewire you buy can be cost-effective especially if you intend to do recurring work on your videocam files.

not that such announcement will scare the influenza A-H1N1 virus, and will just retreat, wither, and die. we may have to expect that there will be a continuous rise in confirmed cases in the days ahead. we just had our first philippines case three weeks ago, and as of date, it already jumped to 92 confirmed cases, from 77 just the previous day. suspected cases, awaiting lab analysis, are still piling up though. thankfully, no fatal ones and most are under recovery (or so our department of health says). classes opened june 1 here, and school/community-wide transmission of the virus is a much greater risk. already, several schools & universities have suspended classes already and reset the opening for monday. we may start to get panicky soon, especially now that WHO has ruled it as a pandemic.

Philippine Independence Day (our 111th) is tomorrow, JUNE 12 (we're ahead of you, so don't wonder ). and google has a present for us with our own Philippine flag inspired google doodle! Yay! i got an early sneak peek... :angel: no arm-wrangling involved, i just read it in an early announcement on a media press release. hahaha? i'm not sure if it will be featured in the main google.com page but we will have it on our PH google page (https://www.google.com.ph/?gws_rd=ssl). for fellow filipinos around the world who may miss it, i will post an image later. --- edit: here it is...

Our local news have no mention of these, not that it's not newsworthy... just that our media do tend to cover our migrant compatriots as tightly as yours in india. and if that same thing happened to a filipino out there, outside of our beloved motherland, we surely will have a field day following up such incidents till a resolution has been arrived at. several issues of recent months easily come to mind, the latest something involving a baldwin taking potshots at our women. a lot of filipinos are abroad too, much like the citizens of india, so we can empathize with you all. it could be true that media may hype it up a bit, but racist incidents do tend up to be flashpoint issues which need to be widely reported, addressed, resolved, and if a crime accompanies it, then justice must be served and properly meted out to the offending parties.there's a need of course to understand the culture and psychology of the australian parties, in this case. but then again, culture and psychology cannot be, and should not be, an excuse to perpetrate racism. truthfully, all of humanity is guilty one time or another of this. but humanity will be better off if this human defect in our psychology is stumped out completely. i hope your compatriots who have been subjected to such incidents and figure in your news there be properly accorded an apology (and justice).let me just say that this post does not intend to generalize an action of some to include the whole of australia. we can sympathize with you as well if you feel shamed by the actions of some, much as i feel ashamed too if bad news of bad acts of our bad compatriots figure in international media too.

what crazy thing did you do at graduation, SM? kudos on a new feather on your cap! a milestone requires a celebration... you have a keg of beer ready for your trap brothers? :XD:

deepest sympathies to you and your family, SM. haven't been around the forums lately myself lately, so please excuse if i haven't gotten to read what's going on around here and our members and co-staffers. i can simply offer prayers in this moment of grief in your family. condolence.

@aditya: just make a draft message, and embed your image signature there, then save it. every time you want to email with that embedded signature, just open your draft message, type your email with a new subject then send it. :XD: you can't actually format your signature with an embedded image using the signature feature in gmail. you need the draft "trick".

your site does not need to be a wap site (using wml pages) to be accessible to mobile users. most sites can now be viewed without much difficulty even with the mobile's default browser. although mobile browsers like opera mini can better display any web pages now, except for flash ones which is not yet natively supported by opera mini. there is skyfire now, with flash support so you can even watch youtube on your mobile browser... the only downside is it's only available for more advanced mobile units.what i really want to say is you can design your site even with php or just plain html. the mobile browser of your site visitors will display them easily, although not as well as you might want it to be because of the screen size limitations in mobile phones. as a matter of fact, Xisto which is an invisionboard forum, is quite okay even on a mobile. it's just hard to type out replies (as i'm doing now :XD:).

i use QREADER for mobile reading. i source for reading materials in txt format, then transfer them to my memory card.

well, microsoft will be widely offering the release candidate of windows 7 for one full year... FREE (from what i've read elsewhere). poor us guinea pigs. surely many will take up this offer, and find a way to make the OS work beyond the free period. it's a release candidate, and whatever virtual XP they have now, and after a year, can we expect a better feature from microsoft on that point? their track record on fixes is not that impressive. a working fix is most likely to come from the net community itself. netizens will definitely work hard on that virtual XP mod for windows 7, and ballmer will scratch his head if sales don't pick up after the official release. as for snagging a new pc just to get a windows 7 to work, not in my immediate plans. i didn't even move to vista yet as XP still is the more stable OS for me. i see early adapters to windows 7 will be those who made their jump and embraced vista fully. they're the ones who have abandoned XP for the flashy vista GUI.

re:mac - it's just windoze for me, and i don't have access to a mac to conduct a test email using it. maybe others can help you on this account. re:drafts - using drafts as a templating system for your frequently-embedded images on your gmail (like letterheads, signatures, etc.) is a very good point. i also use drafts that way, apart from being a repository of my private info which i can easily access online in case i lose or forget such details (like FTP and cpanel info, after an HD reformat )

i don't know about 4G in dreamweaver, but i've heard the term 4G used in mobile discussions. you gotta check wikipedia for that. briefly though, it is a new upgrade to supplant the 2G and 3G systems used in wireless communications today.

Interesting... in the back of my mind, i've always envisioned myself owning one such neat piece of gadgetry. never mind how i never had anything really to make out of it. i just like the idea...it's good to know such technology can be made at a low cost. commercial ones are too steep to be afforded easily by an individual. i'll send the link to my cousin, whose making a hand-held eco-friendly universal phone charger. maybe he can build one of those repraps to conjure a design for the casing for his prototype. at the moment, he's got a casing from odds and ends of junk. and the patent office would deny the prototype because of that. B)and since i'm on a mobile now typing this reply, maybe i'll have a new housing for my nokia phone fashioned from this. hehe? just an idea (though it'll be cheaper to simply purchase a new housing for my unit).

i'd say that on appeal, the ruling can well be overturned. it looks more like a political statement, to please the cash-laden industry which pushed for the case. on purely legal merits, i don't think the case against piratebay has a leg to stand on.moreover, using torrents is hardly the only method one can get access to those downloads which proliferate online. attempting to put piratebay out of circulation and putting the people behind PB behind bars will only exacerbate the practice of torrent use when they get high-profile media mileage as free advertising. if they succeed to put PB out of business with finality, a new and better system will be developed wherein the only way to stop it is by entirely shutting down the whole of the internet.businesses whose content have been digitized have to accept the situation. they are quick to their claim that they lose tons of money with the way their content are distributed, primarily via peer sharing using torrents. personally, how much money do they really need? it's not as if they are at a total loss, since the content already has made a "killing" in the commercial market, be it music, movies, books, etc. also they discount the market value torrent users actually possess. they should concentrate instead in forging a viable tieup with the system and profit further in a more creative manner. moreover, even if big businesses don't admit it, "pirates" are most often comprise their existing profit margin which line up their bulging pockets. PURISTS. that's my word for them, who may well download torrent content, but still purchase the "real world" products in form of CDs, VCDs, DVDs, BLURAYs, bound paper books, and other peripheral income avenues as concerts, etc. B)i have this gut feel that piratebay and its torrent-system siblings will not go the way of napster (remember the mp3-only peer sharing days?). piratebay has a more robust constituency than napster, and if you cut off its head, several others will spring out to replace it, more robust, more vicious. meddle with it to everyone's detriment. napster folded when the internet was yet young. its been years since then, and the internet has matured and become more complex for a system like piratebay to be quashed that easily.

lots of suggestions you got there for me traplings. thanks. i have a yahoo mail, but i don't get to use it that much. one good thing about yahoo account is the ability to alias your username. with one account, you could create several aliases (as long as it's not used already in the system). this i do specifically since i wanted to have a separate alias for the different yahoogroups i belong to, and yet still can be manageable under one "main" yahoo account. i dunno if this is a feature already in gmail, any observations? having said that, a google account has a more universal appeal to me than a yahoo account. a lot more features and services (which i like and often use) is tied up with a google account than a yahoo account. and gmail is just one of those. :Pto update you guys, i have already set up an extensive list of filters so i don't get a clogged inbox for this particular gmail account. the gist is: filter, forward, trash. if an attachment type i have in my filters (example, .AVI) is found, it gets forwarded first to a new gmail i have exclusively for attachments. after a successful filter and forward process, it gets moved to trash. it will remain there for 30 days until it gets expunged into the purgatory where all trashed emails go. i sometimes have to clean up the SENT folder to clear up space some more, but for the most part, the filter-forward-trash system i've got handles the tricky part of sorting through all the attachments muck, then backing it up in another account without much help from me... other than the occasional manual cleaning i do if my filters miss something. :Dif yahoo mail is now unlimited, i may look in the possibility of making a second forwarding process to it, and have a second set of backup for the effort.

we can't help you with "cracked" applications here at Xisto. it's against our TOS. nevertheless, i know a site where you can download applications which are specific for your mobile unit. maybe you can find alternatives there, which are free. or you can still download the trial versions and see if these suit your needs. and if you find you like them, i'd suggest you purchase them. it's best that way, you can get better support on your jar apps you install on your mobile if you get the license of commercial apps. some apps out there (cracked ones) can't be trusted. the site i'm referring to: http://www.getjar.com/ good luck

my mobile phone is running on symbian [s60 phone], and i have yet to experience any other mobile OS. that being the case, i can't make a comparison with others. however, as for the advantages you've mentioned, i can say symbian has the same advantages, at least from a user-POV [point of view]. for a developer-POV, i have nothing to say. i have to confess that i've not been around the T17 forums so much these past few weeks because i've been toying again with my mobile phone. i've been visiting wap communities to check updates on applications for my S60 unit, and i got lost in them and failed to check back on Xisto for a while. i've been planning also on redoing my sites for mobile compatibility, and i may plunge into it this task in the next few weeks. i digress, but to get back on topic, has anyone tried android yet? as many would know already, google is behind this so it may trump iphone OS in the near future. at least i have hopes android could transcend the mobile world, and not stay there, and be ported to be of use in UMPCs and netbooks too. HP is thinking about this already, from what i've read recently [from my mobile phone, while browsing the world wide web ]. cross your fingers, maybe it will bloom further and make the jump from mobile-to-netbooks-to-laptops-to-desktops-to-servers. THEN windows will close down their curtains. can we imagine iphone OS making that transition as well? while we're on iphone, has it got built-in flash support already? can't find a mobile browser to run on symbian S60 with flash support, from my long walks in the digital superhighway [i found one, skyfire, but it's for higher versions of symbian, and alas my unit is not supported]. wish the gap between the regular apps and the mobile apps we come to experience the web will close soon enough. of course, the mobile OS should support those apps. iphone, symbian, windows mobile, android... push the envelope of development further. hehehe? i'd bet big on android. ;P

hey guys, no need for recriminations...ash-bash, if you indicate your support ticket numbers here (including date of submission), perhaps it can expedite your support issues if and when opaque or velma stumbles into this thread.

does anybody know if it is okay to hotswap SDHC cards... meaning to insert/remove an SDHC card on a digital camera or laptop even if the unit is running?i just bought an SDHC card and i just want to make sure if anybody has tried hotswapping this item on their cameras/laptops. some memory cards allow itself to be hotswapped (i got an MMC on my mobile), and so far i haven't lost any data on my MMC. same with SDHC cards? what is your experience?i'm not really planning to do a hotswap soon, since i'm making my SDHC card semi-permanent on my netbook... where i'll be making my backups and the home for my portable apps. but in the off-chance that i need to hotswap in the future (moving my backups on SDHC for use on another PC, or use the portable apps on another machine for a brief period of time -- and i don't want to shutdown my netbook), i want to be assured that my data remains intact. :Dfeedback!

i've been reading on this yesterday... when it was still $10 dollars. :Dif it's something like kindle from amazon, it's still a good thing. definitely can't be called a laptop, if it seems just like an upsized ebook reader.i was wondering about the actual specifications and an actual prototype photo, to see how india can come up with this. considering all the components which comprise a laptop, i'm wary if it can be actually made. lcd screen, memory, cpu, etc. i even started considering it was a simple calculator (with the announced price tag). :Phopefully we'll see this thing come into production stage, even with a higher price than the originally touted $10 price (now $20, and $30 in some)... just even be lower than the OLPC project or at par with the $100 dream price. and i wish it could be really a functional model of a real laptop, and not just some hub of sorts where you'll still need other peripheral devices to make it actually work.there's a real market for these, at the price range affordable to ordinary folks. let's hope it's not just a pipe dream.
