I'm making some progress too. Finally got my first email confirming that I've made 1 dollar in myCents. Saving up for a domain

This has been a HUGE issue of mine for a long time......Pygame never works on my computer! I've downloaded the pygame installers, installed them, installed python IDLE, the rest of it. Whenever I use the import pygame function, it returns the same error over and over again: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> import pygameImportError: No module named pygameCan someone please help me out? Thanks

Actually, I check on either Computinghosts or Xisto's website, not exactly sure, but it said the THETA hard drive failure occured last year! December 23 of 2008! Is this just some kind of typo, or have they not updated their site? I mean, when you go to the main page of Xisto, the HOT topic is that the hard drive failure is being repaired this afternoon.

Ah, okay. I usually use Xisto - Web Hosting, because sometimes Xisto doesn't let me log in. I think this might be due to the HDD failure they keep splashing all over the forums. Thanks for your answer.

I went to a concert once and saw that Honda robot play the trumpet. It was very neat, but the uniqueness kind of fades off since it's a robot, not an actual person... Same thing with the iPhone orchestra. It's a lot cooler when the people actually play the instruments. Definately Not something I would pay to see.

Are Xisto - Web Hosting and Xisto the same company? Because I can log into both and check my earnings, services, orders, and all that. Thanks,Mike

I've been using Lala.com for about a month now... I love their service. I use it constantly. But lately, I've heard unconfirmed rumors that Apple may be buying them out! Anyone know if this is true or not?

Intel bailed out on their 2 year research of that graphic chip they were designing...... I'm in favor of AMD right now.

Intel, the world's largest semiconductor chip creator (based on annual revenue) announced on Friday that it will be pulling out on a so called "trillion operations per second" chip, code named Larrabee. Since April of 2007, Intel has been discussing the chip, stating that it will generate complex graphics for video games, and carry out extremely complicated mathematical formulas, plus other computer laboring chores. Larrabee has aroused quite a bit of attention by leading graphic chip companies, such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and NVidia, due to the fact that the chip will open up a new business front in their already multi-billion dollar business. Larrabee has been seen as a test for Intel's goal to generate a microprocessor that uses dozens of calculating brains rather than the traditional total on basic processors, which simply consists of 1-4 calculating engines. While AMD and NVidia are concentrated to do the designated task of driving a PC's graphic core, the initial basic Larrabee was expected to have 32 processors complete more generalized tasks, similar to a regular x86 microprocessor. Intel's initial claim-to-fame was that it would be easier to program. But faced with the threat of the rapidly accelerating performance of competing companies, and its demonstration in September, which left computer experts and users alike, deeming it "unimpressive", things were starting to get hot and heavy. Larrabee was supposed to come out in 2009; but Intel later stated that it might not come out until 2010. Finally, on Friday, they declared that it will be coming out mid-late 2010. There won't be a commercial version available, but privately available to programmers interested in developing applications to carry out computer tasks in a parallel fashion. Intel does not plan to publically disclose any more information on Larrabee, but still trying to get programmers excited about the chip. They demonstrated its power to handle scientific computing chores at an industry conference in November, where it preformed a trillion operations per second. Larrabee still hasn't been proven to be able heavy duty graphic tasks as well as Intel guarantees it can. So for the time being, AMD and NVidia have a sizeable amount of breathing room.

Hey everyone:I registered back in May of 09', and forgot about my account for a bit(more like 7 months, but that's not the point)Anyway, I've been trying to get my Mycents to work, but they never show up! I've registered with Xisto(The only way I remembered about you guys was when I got my last monthly email), and have an account at the forums, but still no Mycents. What do I need to do?Thanks,Mike.

Over the weekend, I went to the library and sought out towards their archives. There, I spotted one of my favorite magazines, Popular Science. Within an article, I found out that the same company that had created SD cards had created a new technology, seperating itself from basic FAT32 systems. Instead, it used some sort of new system that would squish all the data together, making for a 2TB SD card(!). Now, I'm puzzled on 2 things: 1.) What was the system called? 2.) Would it be available for purchase? I believe the article was in the January/February 2009 edition. Cheers, thejode
