  1. Hahaha... this is just so microsoft. Rarely do their products get launched without hiccups, big or small. Look out for a patch soon.
  2. As much as I have to agree that some of the actions of the players are disgusting, I dont think we should have new rules implemented to the game. I cant image the referee dishing out yellow cards to players who spit or the ruling body to ban a player for being rude to the coaching staffs. Leave that to the discretion of the club.
  3. That looks more like a speed boat than a car. To OT a bit, look at what a pelican did to one of the fastest (if not, the fastest) car. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  4. I owe a pc (both desktop and laptop). After hearing the rave reviews about mac, i am considering to switch to a mac But having said that, I am a total novice when it comes to a mac.
  5. To some 13 is an unlucky number while to others, it is their auspicious number. It will be interesting to know the background of fri the 13th and its origin. And btw, did anyone cross the path of a black cat?
  6. Ya, who would have thought firefox could come such a long way. The initial sentiments is that it will just be a fad and many people predicted that they would have died after a while, especially it being an open-source application which people have doubts abt, it terms of support and security (many people still does). But hey, the 5years birthday just show proved all the nay-sayer wrong.
  7. Without ads, google will sell off blogspot, youtube, their online presence and return to their roots, which is to provide search function for company's intranet. They will still be around... waiting for the next big thing to arrive and they will be out of the starting block in the shortest of time.
  8. How could someone who persecute another and yet commit the same crime. US, I presume if a nuclear hear war broke out, they will be leading the charge, had labelled countries like Iraq, N.Korea as the axis of evil based on the belief that they have in their possession, weapon of mass destruction. How could then they themselves use something which they accuse others of having. In any case, as pointed out, if a war against middle east breaks out, price of crude oil will rocket out of hand.
  9. No, just it as it is, mouse. Dont fix what is not broken and also leave a bit of "history" intact.
  10. PHPBB for me as I have not use SMF before. I find the former relatively easy to use and maintain. And with the group of community, a remedy is just at a click.
  11. Ya, myCents is not updating. But from previously experience, the posting that was made will be credit when the system gets all and running. Only worry, we cant track the number of posts that were made before and during the down time.
  12. It is something like what Akamai (https://www.akamai.com/de/de/) provides. Btw, what is the experience like surfing an "outside" website? Is the speed aint too bad, then just host it outside.
  13. I only with a load balancer, you can redirect the traffic to the web server (in the same server) which is "freer". But in your case, it is 2 different server, so I think the load balancer wont do it. Maybe, for information purpose, I know of some hosting company which have a server all over the world. What is does it this. When you upload to one of the servers, it will be cache to the rest. And when users hit your domain name, it will be directed to your nearest server or the server nearest to you with the less load. But such hosting service cost a bomb. What I suggest, see your traffic. If majority of it is from Indonesia, then no point having another to serve the "western countries". And vice-versa, close the hosting for the Indonesia based server and switch to a more "western" orientated one.
  14. Even since Chrome came into the scene, I have pretty much use it as my default browser. Yes, FF is good, but somehow, Chrome seem to load faster. But, hey, more version of FF, sure will give it a try. Anything will definitely be better the IE8.
  15. When I get to sleep, most of the time, I will like to think, yes "peaceful sleep". But there were days whereby I will have restless night. Thou body is resting, mind is still fully awake and thinking about things that was in my mind, either in the day or just before I go to sleep.
  16. If you are talking time travelling as in those in the movie, Back to the Future, then nope. I don't think there will ever be a day that it is possible. however, i do hope that we can travel to the past and see how is it like. You know, just to see if the past is the same as what the movies have always portrayed.
  17. I dunno what about sports, but for the English Premier League, someone buying a club is big news. As it is a widely popular, if not the most watched sports, owing a club is like speeding down the expressway in a roll royce. It is like welcome to the filthy rich club.
  18. Come to think of it, there are a few languages that people term them as dialects. For me, they are languages. I dont understand why people call them dialect instead of language. Anyone can shed some lights?
  19. Expression like crinching of the face when see something disgusting. Mouth open when it comes to suspension and action. And eyes half-closed in a horror movie. Hey, not what you thinking ya.
  20. This is simply crazy. How could anyone lived in such condition. Not to be disrespectful to China, but such scene are poor common. Wait till you see the rural side of the China.To think I thought I was rather untidy, but after seeing the pictures, hey, I am pretty neat after all.
  21. I love php and this the language make life easier. I started out with perl and for a simple function, I have a few lines of codes. But when I comes to php, I can replicate the same function with lesser coding. So, yes, I like PHP.
  22. Many functions are using javascript and therefore it is an important feature. Having said that, most of the ad tags, they are served by js. At such, most people will turn off their browser's javascript function to block off the ads and thus render other function to be disable as well.As for java, I think they are cool. And as mentioned, definitely not for a novice programmer.
  23. Sorry I dont get what you mean. Do you mean you wanted the hanyu pinyun of the chinese words, the meaning or the english translation of the individual words?
  24. Seem like many people have some experiences of paranormal. I believe there are millions of people in the world who have encounter some forms of paranormal activities. But strangely, even with the billions of encounter around the world, there are some people out there who just do not believe that paranormal is a fact, not a fiction. They will tell to find a link to some scientifically proved fact and some of the linkage is pure absurb. And when there isn't any form of explanation, they will just shudder their shoulder and said that the person who encounter it is just plain superstitious.
  25. McDonald's food here comes in a portion that is just filling enough. Together with the soft drinks, the meal can get rather too much at time. But as you know, soft drinks will make you feel bloated and I guess that is the reason why the meal is enough to fill the stomach. But I do not know about you guys, but after eating the meal, I get hungry again after a short while.
