The Simpleton

Welcome LoZtLord, to the Xisto forums. I see that you haven't made any new posts yet, so better get started to bring in a lot of myCENTs! You will have to make more than five posts to activate your myCENTs counter and after that it just keeps ticking with every post you make. The others have already pointed out the important threads you should read so I'm not going to give them again - just want to say: Have a good time!

Deleting a default (i.e. uncustomized) Ubuntu installation will delete GRUB. The only thing it won't delete is whatever GRUB put into the MBR. This will result in an unbootable system, because "GRUB" can't find GRUB; i think the error number it spits out is 15 or 13 (can't really remember). In order to fully separate GRUB you have to provide a separate partition for the /boot directory. That way when you delete Ubuntu, you will still have GRUB lying around.

Thanks for clearing that one - I think it's error 17 - saw that quite a number of times...

blah blah blah. why would i want to run linux under windows? the whole point was to get away from ms. hahaha. i may try again if i'm feelin' froggy. the current version of linux though didn't give me the option of insalling on another partition which was strange.....but i was drinkin....that coulda been a factor biggrin.gif

well I said that only as a quick alternative to try Linux - not entirely switch to it. You said making a trial to switch again would take a while so in the meantime you could use it in Windows; that's what I said

Here's a thread that might interest you - I think it's not suitable for a project, but at least it allows you to build your own linux distribution....

If I'm not wrong, Javascript is fairly easier to use - you could call it a "diet" programming language! But it's got nothing to do with Java at all...

I didn't know paypal had so many restrictions! I was glad it accepted registrations from India recently (not too recently - a few years back) and luckily it didn't ask for any verifications for bank account. In case of Bangladesh and Nepal I think the only thing left to do for paypal is to write to them and ask them for suggestions to help you. Otherwise as many people have mentioned above, try using other sites for getting your money...

Oh I remember trying geany once - it was really good but I don't remember the reason for not continuing it...

Now that I think of it, mine is not really an addiction - it's more of a fascination. I won't go to extreme measures for experiencing anime but I do enjoy it from time to time.

Hmm that's interesting - a 3 day waiting period?I find waiting in queues to deposit money tiresome and no matter which bank I go to the queue is always 7-feet long that's why I don't prefer going to the bank even though it's much safer....

Also, if you're buying a new computer and opt for a Linux based one, you can save a lot on operating system costs! Over here the difference is around Rs.6000 - with that amount one could get a PS2

@OpaQue: yeah any admin will try to increase traffic in the early days and such schemes are really innovative and I'm glad it worked out so beautifully. I'll put up a review on Alexa soon enough. We do need a lot of reviews!

Hmm I remember answering at least three more threads like this already.......it would be helpful if we didn't have many similar threads....oh well let me answer this one last time - SMF when it comes to free software and IPB when it comes to paid software. One simple reason for both choices - easy to use, great customizations, and excellent community-support!!!

Wow I didn't know that you won a prize - so first of all congratulations! I think you're better off with a free domain for this one, because it's just a display site as you mentioned and if it gets really popular then you could consider getting a TLD. I don't have any suggestions right now but the ones above do seem good - if you're trying for a co.cc domain then I'm sure you'll get lots of options...Hmm I'll think of something in the meantime

I too didn't know till now that you had to register at digg to digg the posts....well maybe that's because I never visited digg anyway - just keep hearing about it from others. rvalkass and mahesh have some really cool suggestions - I'm sure if you get them right you'll get some good traffic pretty soon

Hmm I never stopped to think about the difference between these two, but in the end all that matters is whether or not I'm connected!

Do you think that's a strange question? Well these days a lot of people are doing all their banking tasks online and they hardly have a reason to visit the bank. Most companies are depositing their employees' salaries directly in their accounts so no more paycheques - and the employees simply transfer it to another account (or keep it there if they like) by using Internet banking. For shopping there are ATMs, credit cards and of course, Internet banking can be used for shopping as well. So where does a visit to the bank come in all this? This situation may not apply to everyone, but day-by-day most people seem to adapting the quick way. As for me, if I remember correctly, I last visited my bank in July, to apply for Internet banking, and after that I haven't been there till now! So what about you?

Yes Sam Raimi will direct it, but Boll initially showed interest - he was declined and Blizzard particularly said that they didn't want him at all!

what??? you too?

Well yes - those were the days when I was taking my baby steps in the world of web hosting and was over-enthusiastic. My original intention was to order as an outside but I didn't notice that I was signed in at that moment and poof! The order was made! Well it's a kind of an experience and I enjoyed the moments of tension a little bit!

A quick suggestion - reduce the size of your sig a little coz to be honest, it's too big A banner would look much neater and professional but if you can't get one, reducing the size of the text will look much better

Only if those early members could be here today - it would be great to have some forefathers over here to compare the old and new Xisto!

Hey guys - I think I set a new record for myself - I didn't go online for 22 hours The last time I connected was yesterday at 7AM and after that I logged on only at 5AM today! Well it's another thing that I've been online since 5AM today (it's 11 now ) but at least I tried to control myself - well it's a start....I'll try to build on that.

Some people think they own a particular page - once I tried adding additional content to an article and it was removed within an hour! I tried doing it again, this time improving the quality of writing, but it was removed yet again - and after three days the same information appeared, but it was written by someone else - the "owner", maybe!

Lol I remember doing this when I was new - don't worry Anvilpinata - in the "My Services" tab you have an option to cancel the order. Just select that option and give the reason in the box provided and the support team will cancel your order and return any myCENTs that were deducted. Just make sure you do it soon and don't delay it.

i just recently decided to give linux a try so i downloaded the latest version of ubuntu. i really liked the simplicity of it although i really didn't do much exploring. i tried to set it up as a duel boot but i went wrong somewhere because when i would try to boot vista, it wouldn't boot. i had a little trouble with drivers too. anyway, i decided to give up and just reformat and reinstall my apps for vista only. i hope i get the guts to try again soon because i really did like the feel of ubuntu and would be worth it spending my time to learn the os because for a long time now, i wanted to stop supporting ms. maybe one day. my first attempt failed sad.gif

Oh that's just sad - I think the GRUB utility that loads the OSes didn't install properly. Anyway, if you want to use Ubuntu as a test drive for a while, you can always install it inside Windows (pop the CD in when you're in Windows and you'll get that option) - it will just install to a folder and you won't have to bother about partitions or other hassles...

I think the most common reason why people have given mixed reviews is that they didn't like the idea of only the protagonist and his family getting saved - they were just plain lucky but why should only they be chosen to be saved? (I mean chosen by the script!) Ok I think it's high time we stopped talking about this movie anyway - no matter what personal opinions are, the movie's a hit (in my town hollywood movies barely last a week but this one's taken in almost $11000 in it first week) and it'll be remembered only for its special effects!
