  1. Unfortunately, the problem with expensive education is that it truly is waayy to expensive, even on my middle class income. Did you know the average cost for a year of private schooling in las vegas can run anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 per year, and even then does that guarantee her a better education than she would get in a public schooling environment. I mean, I went through public schools and graduated at the top of my class.
  2. Ok I will start off with saying that I am going to keep this very calm and professional because I do respect the people who put in a lot of effort to offer this incredible service to us. However, I have some major frustrations that I feel would be best got out in a constructive manner. I got enough myCents 2 days ago to sign up for a hosting package. I was ecstatic because I was looking forward to relaunching one of my sites at no cost. So I submitted the request for the hosting account and voila, within 5 hours, just like I was promised, I had an email welcoming me to Xisto hosting containing all of my vital information. I immediately went and switched over my name servers from my previous host, which propagated instantly. I then went to log into cPanel to upload my files and create my databases and so forth. However, thats where I ran into a problem. My password was not working!! I then thought this might be an simple error so I immediately tried to sign into the Google Apps account that was created for me but I ran into the same problem, incorrect password. I emailed Xisto's support team and waited about 12 hours for a response, however I did not get the message for 24 hours due to sleeping and the time zone difference. In my email to them I stated my problem, I went the the knowlegebase and searched before I contacted them and this is the reply that I got(keep in mind I cut out the descriptive items for post length sake): Ok so I did the knowlegebase search, I dont think that there is anything in the forums that would reset my password, unless I am mistaken, and what is the next step? Well it is the one that I did and this was their response to my password reset request!! I do not see how that addressed my issue at all considering the fact that I folowed all of the proper channels. As for the rest, Live Support is always offline, phone calls are out of the questions due to out of country long distance costs. I would just simply like my password reset so that I can start using my new hosting package that I have been unable to use because of something as small as them sending me the wrong password initially. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you still are, I just wanted to get this out in the open so that my frustrations do not come out in a negative manner.
  3. I definitely agree with you both. I have tried to nurture her talents from the very beginning but at some point she needs to learn to become social otherwise I feel she will have difficulty making friends in the future. And she wants that interaction with older kids as well. You should see her, when we go to the park she doesnt run up to the kids in her age group plaing in the sandbox and on the slides, she immediately heads for the 7 and 8 year olds playing on the rock climbing wall. And it is amazing that they connect with her as well. I just wish she was able to get that out of school. I think you both would agree that when it comes to social interaction that there is only so much a parent can do before you have to go out and let you child be the social one.You have given me several ideas though. I am going to look into some local extra-cirricular activities for her such as karate or something of that nature where she can interact with other children who may be slightly older than her. That might give her the attention that she is craving that I am unable to give her. Thank you very much for your thoughts, ideas and input.
  4. I was part of a company that was developing technology to bring live TV to the internet. This was an exciting project and that is definitely the way things are going, but I feel that nothing will ever replace hard line cable TV and satellite just because of the bandwidth requirements for true HD television. Internet TV right now is more of a convenience than anything right now. I personally only watch shows on the internet if my DVR doesnt record them or if I missed them for any reason.
  5. I like every last one of them... lol. But probably my first. I used to start off with a regular smoke and then switch over to a menthol about halfway through to finish up with good flavor... but have you seen the new Camel Crush. This is probably the best invention in the world. You can smoke the ciggy normally and then whenever you want you can crush the filter and turn it into a menthol. Hence my new favorite smoke.. Has anyone else seen them?
  6. People like that should not be punished. He was obviously doing the world some good. That is tant amount to charging a rich person with tax evasion who is donating huge amounts of money to charity.
  7. My 5 year old daughter, well she is going to be 5 in 2 weeks, is exceptionally smart. Right now I feel that she is being penalized just because of her age. I cannot enroll her into public schools yet because they say she is way to young, however, she has alreayd passed first grade entrance exams. I have her in a preschool/kindergarten, however she is truely board in there because all of the things they are learning she already knows. Her social level is well above those of her classmates as well, so I feel that she is not getting the social interaction that she needs to expand her mind. I have no clue what to do as I do not want to hinder her. Any ideas?
  8. Sorry to dig up an old post but I think this is a valid debate. Me personally, I prefer to use an HP laptop with a docking station at home. That way you can get the best of both worlds. It is a quick disconnect form the docking station when I need to run out the door and when I am at home I can have my large monitor hooked up for gaming. I have a nvidia nforce chipset. It is an HP pavilion 6000 series which is pretty much a great all around laptop for everything.
  9. I have run into this problem more times than not... and 9 times out of 10 if is due to a bad memory module. If you can try swapping the memory in the bad computer with memory from the good computer you will immediately know if that is your problem. If that does not fix it I would move onto the HDD and run a sector scan on it, it is possible if the right sector is bad it will cause a reboot if it affects the kernel is a specific way. But your best bet is to start with the memory because that is the cheapest solution.
  10. This has always been my weakest link in getting visitors to my sites. My designs are very good however with no one to appreciate them it is futile. The few sites that I have marketed I had great experiences marketing them with adwords... however that can get VERY expensive very quickly. If you can have a bunch of different domains and link to all of them on your main site then you will raise your SE ranking pretty easily. Also try to advertise your site everywhere you can... in sigs on forums, in chatrooms locally around town is also a good way to strat driving traffic. there is no one correct answer to this problem as it varies with each individual site.
  11. You should get rid of that guy ASAP. He is not in the relationship for the both of you he is in the relationship for himself and his needs. I have been down that road. I was married to a woman like that for almost 5 years and I finally realized that she was never there for me when I needed it, only when she needed it. I cant stress enough that if you are in a relationship that is making you feel in any way unhappy, first try to talk about it and see if he changes. If he doesnt change then it is time to get rid of that dude and get yourself a real man.Every man should respect the woman he is with and in return she should respect him. It doesnt sound like that is going on in any sense of the word. My current girlfriend you can ask her, we have the best relationship in the world. We are open, honest and there for each other in our times of need. This is the kind of woman I see myself marrying. I have been through too many bad relationships that I always know what the warning signs are.
  12. Me personally, I get drunk for the fun of it. Living in Las Vegas alcohol pretty much pours out of the faucets. Everywhere you go you can get a drink. It does make thinks a lot more fun. Especially when I am playing blackjack or poker, you can get drunk, have a good time with the people around you and have a blast. I am not an alcoholic but I pretty much get drunk every other day cause I am constantly out partying. Plus my job as a VIP host sends me to the best of parties on a nightly basis. I dont know what others reasons are but I do it for the fun.
  13. This is a question that many of us do not want to think about. Me personally if I am going to die young I would want to die doing something I love or am passionate about. If I am going to die of old age I do not want it to be due to illness or anything like that, I would prefer to just go in my sleep peacefully. However, either way I am not afraid nor will I ever be afraid to die, it is just part of life.
  14. Online dating does work. I met my current girlfriend on MySpace. She messaged me a couple of times until I finally replied. We started talking online and soon were having daily conversations. We then decided to meet in person. After that first night we started seeing each other on an almost nightly basis and I soon feel in love with her. This is the best relationship that I have ever been in and it only seems to be getting better. I have never been more in love with anyone in my life and it is all thanks to online dating.Now I have also had some bad experiences with the whole online dating thing. I have met a few girls who turned out to be complete crazies. It is really just like going to the bar and picking up a girl. The odds are about the same.
  15. I am going to have to agree with Thunder. Sounds to me like this guy is married. I am in a relationship now where in the beginning I lied about a lot of things, just to make myself look better. And eventually it all caught up to me and she was ready to break it off. However, my reasoning behind it was because she truely loves me and deep down I felt that if she thought less of me I would lose her. That is something I didnt want. But we had been dating for 7 months and we are truely in love. I dont think that ever having met this guy in person is helping. He could be anyone to you. And if he keeps blowing you off then he is not worth the time of day. All men lie, it is in our nature. However, it is us real men that own up to our lies and hope that we can be forgiven and never do it again. You should just give him an ultimatum. Tell him it is going to be over for good unless he takes you out and that if there are any excuses this time around that he will never hear from you again.
  16. I would love to see copyrights on designs, but it is very hard to copyright common coding. However, it is all how you put the code together that makes it unique. For example, words are not copywritten, however when you compile a combination of those words together to form a sentance or a paragraph, then you can copyright that if it has not been before. It is all about originality. I would think that us designers need to be protected in a sense so that we do not get discouraged when people keep stealing our work.
  17. Actually, for a little history, Longhorn was originally Vistas codename. Microsoft was forced to pull the first incarnation of Windows Vista because Jim Allchin warned chairman Bill Gates that it was just too hard to work with. He told old Billy Boy that Longhorn at the time was quite simply "not going to work" because it was so complex that Microsoft's developers would never be able to make it run properly. Once the first version of longhorn was pulled thats when it became windows vista until its release. I played around with the longhorn beta and there were sooooo many problems with it I thought I was going to have a seizure. They scrapped itcompletely and rebuilt vista based around windows XP's architecture.
  18. True the phone isnt much to look at. But it is one of the most powerful phones hardware wise on the the market to date. plus the fact that it has a hardware keyboard too. the next generation is going to be a touch keyboard only. i actually have a full working version of debian running off of my sd card on my phone. that right there should demonstrate the power and versatility of the g1. i think googles next step is going to be taking over the world... lol.
  19. So has anyone seen the new T-Mobile G1 that is powered by the all new Google Android OS. I have had this phone for over 2 months now and I love it. It is automatically synced to all of my google services and best part yet is the Google Android Marketplace. Almost every application in the marketplace is free of charge because of the nature of the OS being open source. This is the best things that have happened to cell phones since the blackberry was first released. has anyone else had any experiences with this phone yet? I would love to hear about it.
  20. To me it looks like he might be better off looking into starting to stream his live video in flash. As of late there have been some major improvements in flash streaming. The best part is that the players are so customizable that you will pretty much be able to configure it to do whatever you want. I used to run a live show with flash and I was able to program the player so that as soon as a certain signal was received to the play from the admin side it would switch to a screen that said "broadcast is not currently live". It seems it would only be a hop skip and a jump from getting it to continue playing the audio with a slideshow. Let me know if you have any questions. I might be able to point you in the right direction as far as tutorials and such.
