The Simpleton

Adsense was very cool and understanding in the early days but now since many members are abusing the service Google has turned into a mini-villain too and is abusing even genuine users That's why I prefer not to use it (I can't use it even if I want to - they suspended my account!)

Wow that's weird.... You're saying the system restores are not working, so I'm making a wild guess that something might have gone wrong in the registry (wild guess!) I'm saying this because if all the programs are still intact and are just not opening then something must have gone wrong with the functioning of the OS itself, which brings us to the registry. If this is the case (better wait till someone more experienced comments on this), then you could try using a registry cleaner to try and remove any errors in the registry and that might just work...

wow I didn't know about that! Then these newspaper folks should do their research before declaring this one as the fastest car in the world! That vehicle you mentioned looks more like an airplane - so it's surprising that it broke the land speed record

well that's what you get from a village Well some people like the geologist in that video are trying their best to make these people see sense and stop believing blindly in superstitions and "miracles". It's surprising that the people who believe this to be a miracle haven't done anything yet. Usually when people think something to be a miracle they all come together and do something amusing all out of innocence...

I too have an interest in podcasts rather than traditional radio. I've never really tried out internet radio because many stations are either filled with ads or do not have what I'm looking for. Podcasts can be searched based on subject and that's why I prefer them to radio. Anyway podcasts are a form of Internet Radio, isn't it?

Um...people keep talking about doing design work on the Mac, but I haven't heard of any famous designing tools for the Mac - does it have ported versions of Adobe tools or is there any special software available for it?

No, softaculous is available for the $1.95 plan too - I used it until 2 months ago when I upgraded to the $6.66 plan. The latter has the same features as the $1.95 and the extra features are in terms of bandwidth, disk space, and number of addon/paeked/sub-domains as I said before. There are other features that not many members need (eg. Shell Access, JSP etc)

Did you register at XISTO with the same email address that you used for Xisto? If no, do so now by going to this link and register there with the exact same address that you used to register here. If you already have done so, I suggest that you open a support ticket regarding the matter and they'll be able to solve is soon.

The $6.66 per month is a really cool one - it has lots of bandwidth, space and allows 100 add-on/sub/parked domains! Now compare that with the 5 which the Logic package offers...

I thought I made myself clear - I don't know any other meaning for the word "improve"!

Well there's nothing much to get excited over that, is there? Some of them were thinking that this is a miracle, but as an elderly man in the video said, there have been wells like this in other places too. Actually there's a geologist in this video too (in a sweater if I remember correctly) and he explains that it's a natural thing and have been seen in other states of India as well. All this seems to be the work of a local website (voice of MP) - that's impressive, coz we don't have many of those here! There was nothing special in what was said - the owners just said that all of them, their neighbours and the whole village were surprised by this and a lot of them even took a bath with the hot water to see if anything happened!

I've been having some issues with the latest version - it's not running some programs as smoothly as it did earlier. So I recommend to stick with the stable, old version for now....

Well maybe you're right - maybe it's less of an addiction and more of a....well I don't know what else to call it I'm just happy that day-by-day I'm learning to avoid/control it.

You can install Windows on a Mac using software like Parallels OS and it will be legal, but you can't legally install Mac on Windows And it all depends on the kind of work you're going to perform on your computer- if you prefer gaming a lot then use Windows and if you have a lot of professional work to do, go for a Mac. But either way, on lockerz, you're going to have one heck of a competition for these prizes Anyway I wish you all the best for it.

Um...the name is actually Softaculous And yes, the packages in it are more in number and newer when compared to Fantastico, and some packages on Softaculous take up lesser space than what Fantastico does.

well that explains the fact that most of the sub-domains that were approved in the hosting forum are not working right now. If possible I would like to have a sub-domain on T17 someday - just to show how much I like it!

It was really good of OpaQue to take time from his busy schedule and reply to threads like this - he replied to anwiii's thread about t17 in the future - oh it's always good to see the admin involved

well to each his own, and we can't argue about how a member votes; I mean it's nothing against the rules...not yet

Well it's almost like a hot spring, right? In the holy temple of Badrinath (Uttarakhand, India), there is a spring called "Tapta Kund" which is just like the well you described above - natural, pure, hot n' boiling water all year long! And it's atop a mountain too...

I won't be able to use Windows 7 RC after April 10 and certainly can't afford to buy it, so I'll have to go back to XP for a while. And looking at all this talk about SP3, I think I'll stick with my old copy of SP2!

This question is for those belonging to the old "HOSTED" group; the people who were with T17 right from the beginning till the end of the old credit system. After that, of course, free domains were introduced and myCENTs took over. But do you still use your old sub-domain from those good-ol' days? The only one I know about is saint-michael.trap17.com which is regularly updated A lot of "HOSTED" members are still active even today, so I would like to request them to answer this question

Lol yeah - too many cooks spoil the redirection (or broth? ) - I think all of us together have succeeded in confusing Nameless_ and ourselves on this issue!

You could say that again - although I've been close to the Internet since 10 years, I've only been using in the real sense since the past four years so yes, maybe I can't really appreciate the significant changes that have been seen over the years. So the place is still kind of new to me and I'm just starting to realize the true potential of the internet.... Hmm okay maybe it's too simple to sum up what I think about trap, so I'll try to be a bit more realistic. Maybe I'm wrong but after reading your posts above, you're concerned about Xisto's position in the internet bubble. As you said things on the internet can change without a warning and the bubble may burst, as it has for many entities in the past. Xisto has completed five fierce years in the world wide web already and we have a bustling community today, always ready to help out each other (looking for a few myCENTS in return ) and we also get some quality hosting for free. Compare this with other similar companies which shut down without a notice causing their users to fume over such post2host policies...We've come a long way and we have every reason to be proud about it. So, it's time to look ahead, you say? Let's do it Hey we have one bright side to look at - we made it through the recession! (Bad) Jokes apart, I will be looking forward to the answers to these questions that you posed - OpaQue mentioned in a thread how he felt about the running of the company - he confessed that he too, like many others, had intentions to close it down. But he didn't and he's done well and is continuing to do so even today. So I'm very hopeful that OpaQue indeed has some backup plan for the future even if something were to go wrong. Speaking about money, we have quite a few members who pay for their hosting (I'm considering that option too in the near future) and the ads are hopefully bringing in enough to support our ever-growing community. As for programmers, doesn't the "evil group" speak for itself They're surely doing a lot of stuff in the background... And finally talking about adapting to technologies like Wave, I guess I'm not too well-aware to speak about things like that. I just think for the whole community to adapt to things like that, it will certainly take some time, and in the meanwhile it will be clear whether that new tech we're speaking about is just a fad or really very useful. I think my thoughts are also kind of whirling - I don't really know what I've said till now So I'll stop for now and wait for the others to respond.

well yeah a great job is being done on the site and it will only keep on improving That's odd, coz I saw someone named anwiii in one of the pages over there

well you are doing a fine job till now - you've decided not to put "categories" then? I ask because I can only see Tags over there and not categories, although in the posts' summary it does say "categories". Oh well...the layout is pretty good anyway Oh and one quick suggestion - if you're not planning to have user accounts for your site, try to remove that "Login" link from the footer. Just put the link as a bookmark for yourself and let the public not see the link - it would be neat!
