yeah, admin, better not use them on this site as MOST users nowadays automatically block pop-ups anyway. it would be an annoyance for youto realize less income than you would expect from these. furthermore,you can't control all the ads that come with the service provider youchoose for popups. and most popups are disguised to include auto-installersthat will ruin Xisto's reputation if ever it gets downloaded to othermembers' computers... some auto-installers are nasty to screw theregistry, without the user even knowing it.as a general rule, shy away from popups.

gmail is working fine with me.

last books (ebooks actually) i read were all by dan brown (angels & demons, deception point, the davinci code, digital fortress). currently reading Bill Clinton's "My Life".

i don't see anything special in google mail

maybe... but the people who use gmail are special hehehe?

Shoutbox conversation:lib2day -- admin, what r the settings for UNI.CC again (nameserver 1 & 2)?admin -- ns1.trap17.com & ns2.trap17.comadmin -- tell everyone about this. Pointing to nameservers is more reliable, fast, safe and secure! but it always takes more time for propagationlib2day -- thanks admin

GMAIL still in BETA test mode so we should all expect glitches every now and then. that is the purpose of beta test, to find out what needs fixing and improving. all in all, i don't find gmail a bad service considering that it is FREE. Beggars can't be choosers.

I also noticed I nearly have 60 posts and my site still hasn't been upgraded to:

100mb with 2GB BW

i believe you have to request the upgrade, templest. B)i think Xisto does not implement autoupgrade since Xisto
wants to serve as many free host members as possible...
nowadays, it's on a request-as-needed basis.
just pm admin with the upgrade request you need and he'll
grant your request.

seems gmail stopped giving out invites already (for the meantime)... so unused/unregistered gmail invites are very rare nowadays. if you can still grab one these days, consider yourself lucky! got mine at gmailswap days before invites became scarce. B)re: security threats - all hogwash! have read those white papers they have on the matter, and you will feel threatened only if you have anything to hide. LOL!

you could still use grokker with the FREE 30-day fully-functional trial download that they offer. if you're satisfied after the trial period, only then should you consider buying it if you really need it.

chelcy, you can configure the capture format profile for winfast if you want a less-than-1GB recording output for a 40-min program. you just have to tweak the capture profile settings to your desired output. with regards to your experience of "video is a little behind audio", you should turn ON your OVERLAY MODE option -- when just viewing & not recording a tv program. turn the OVERLAY MODE option OFF when recording -- the video and audio will already be synchronized. make this a habit: OVERLAY MODE ON -- viewing; OVERLAY MODE OFF -- recording. B)just a trick i learned from my use of my winfast.

Any recommendations of good TV cards? Something that is good enough for casual TV viewing. I just want a TV card that can record TV programmes clearly, or 'TV quality'. To elaborate, that means sharp and clear. HDD space is not an issue.
O ya, and my question was:"why do we take so long to recieve movies via internet and why do TV signals transfer the data like a flash?" Do you mean the TV has a 100 Mbit connection???

If only we could use the technology used to transmit data in TVs to transfer data over the world, wow...I don't know what will happen....Imagine recieving a DVD quality (say.......4 GB) movie streaming without any hitches....what would the world come to??? Yeah, its my idea...so don't steal it. Its MY IDEA, so if anyone wants to architecture/manufacture/use this idea, you will have to seek my permission.

I'm using Leadtek's Winfast TV2000XP Delux edition. It's a PCI add-on card with TV, FM, MPEG compression and PVR (Personal Video Recording) functionality. Just google search for it if you want to check its other special features + other comparable tv tuner cards that fit your requirements and budget.

typical tv signals (video+audio) require a 6-Mhz of bandwidth. read on how tv signals are transferred to viewers:

sorry to disappoint you BUT technology has been ahead of your idea for years already. anyone is capable of streaming data over the internet in a flash, without any hitches -- YOU JUST HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE TAG faster internet has been achieved already through cable connections, DSL connections, T1 connections, satellite connections, etc -- which gives the results you "envision" lately. if you have the cash to burn, you can get the fast internet you want.

so what does these so-called google bombs do? would it generate more hits to a site? would a site get delisted from google search pages when it appears on its pages? What results does it produce --- GOOD or BAD?

what do u mean? please provide more details about your problem so we can better help you.

shackman, the answer to your question should be pretty obvious even to you. :Dthe internet you experience is limited by the bandwidth you have... so if you're just using a 56K dialup (or lower), movies via internet would surely be a crawling experience. get a T1 connection (or, a DSL connection is good enough) and watching online movies would be a breeze. :Don TV tuner card video quality, it all depends on what kind of settings you have, and the type of tuner card you have. some tv tuner cards are better than others. as for dolby surround, i suppose sticking your dolby system to the audio output would be the best test if it works on the type of tv tuner card you have.

You can now see Google results in a whole new way! Documents buried deep inside Googles database are now made available to you. This is invaluable when doing research, as the documents that you are looking for are not necessarily the most popular ones. You can now find what is relevant to you in just a few clicks. And you can configure your grokking experience by searching only documents in a certain language or date range, excluding adult content, and much more.

on your 80GB question: it is only *IF* you intend to use your TV tuner card to make recordings of TV programs you watch. with a big disk space, you could record a much higher video and audio quality. if not, then it is not really a requirement. installing the tv tuner card drivers would not eat too much space.on your next question: a tv tuner card simply makes your PC capable of receiving TV transmissions like an ordinary TV. it does not require you to be online to use a tv tuner card, so no streaming or downloading (in internet terms) occurs.

i like the old forum order before better than the current one.currently, one has to dig deep to read the topics buried under sub-sub-directories... and forum structure is very confusing.since i am just on dialup with limited online time, i would like to save on the number of links i have to click before i get to read a topic... could we re-organize how our forum is arranged to make topic more accessible in the least number of clicks? a good forum structure would have a MAIN DIR+SUBDIR > TOPIC, where a forum member or guest would get on a topic of choice on his second click. other members, ur thoughts please?
