Gmail is the pick of the lot, yahoo isn't that bad although it does bring in a lot of spam from yahoo groups as well. Hotmail isn't too good and just forget about using rediffmail, which isn't worth using at all. Stick with Gmail if you like a good provider with powerful spam filters.

Well I have a keen interest in science, people, observations, computers, art, music, etc. I have an opinion about everything I guess, but you know what they say about opinions.
I use to be part of the Xisto community way back in the day, but I lost contact with the board when i shut down.
I was a very active member of that community and I hope to do so here as well.
I went my the name Moolkye

First - welcome back!

Second - Xisto was never shut down; it just got itself a new name Your old account Moolkye is still alive and I've just seen that you found that out too!

Last Active:Aug 18 2010 08:27 PM

So you can choose to continue from where you left off as Moolkye, or go on with zanzibarjones, or keep using both accounts - it's your choice

Another late welcome but a welcome anyway I think I've already seen you in a lot of threads, which means you've settled in already - excellent! I hope you're having a good time over here and will help keep the community buzzing with activity.

Welcome babydog123! Only 3 posts so far,eh? I hope you didn't get discouraged or something like that! Take your time to settle in and make some good posts and soon you'll be right in the middle of things and having a good time. So here's wishing you good luck on the forum

Lol that's a very creative way of introducing something Jonnyabc Keep up the good work; and I'm curious - are you a writer in disguise?

Wow, very interesting way of introducing VirtualBox. I enjoyed reading it. I have heard of VirtualBox but never tried it before. It sounds like it would come in handy for running things that don't work right on Linux. Unfortunately I think this computer is too old and slow to benefit from using it though.
So you can see two OS's on the screen at the same time?

For virtualbox to run smoothly, I think it's best to have a computer with at least 2GB of RAM. 1GB may be enough for emulating Linux distros but if you're trying to run Windows inside Virtualbox then it's better to have a minimum of 2GB RAM because the host needs to run along with the guest. I once tried running XP inside Ubuntu on my PC with 512MB RAM and the installation process went off smoothly; however the system became very slow once the desktop showed up.

And yes, you can see the two OSes on the screen at the same time, and you can choose to run the guest OS (i.e. virtualbox) in full-screen mode so that it would appear as if it's the real thing and not a guest!

This could be a problem of being under attack from a (single or set) IP address. As rvalkass suggested, try finding out which IP addresses caused the most damage in those 48 hours. If everything seems good and legit, then I think the only valid explanation for this is that your site is popular!

This is a late welcome, but a welcome nevertheless It looks like you've settled in nicely over here, which is excellent! Now that we know all about you () let's have some tackles in the forum, shall we?!

2. Remove watermark from video. (use crop, blur or use nearest pixels)

I doubt whether it would be effective with large watermarks. A blur on a small watermark may not be noticed but on large ones it will be easily noticeable and it would be better with the watermark in the first place instead of a large ugly blur on the screen! Anyway if anyone has tried this software and finds it effective I would like to hear more about it.

hi everybody

i have made, like everybody i guess, my experiences with free hosting scams, and am actually determined to finally 'go serious' and buy both space and domain for a future blog project. before i go there, i would like to experience with wordpress as everybody seems so bl**dy fond of it, only the wp.com solution obviously doesn't allow for all the features, so i came across THIS solution, and I thought I give it a go.

my "bush internet" (uncabled) is a bit moody at times, and i haven't quite figured out the topics on the forum.

i am hoping to find info and exchange on this site, because i have many questions about hosting, wp, chosing a domain name, traffic, blog directories etc..

did i come to the right place ?

 

Welcome to the forums pixee You have indeed come to the right place and as long as you have the patience to make good quality posts regularly, you'll enjoy the community and reap the reward in the form of some quality, free hosting! You can buy your domain and hosting from here and you won't regret your decision. So be active in the forums and soon you'll forget that you ever wondered whether joining here was the right thing to do!

Hey, none of the links work at all. Can you re-up them all please? Thanks in advance for your work =]

I'm interested in getting these too but I think it's too late now. The topic is too old and the original poster is almost certainly inactive so there's little hope of getting these back unless some other active member has a copy of this archive and finds the time to upload the entire collection.....it all seems unlikely while typing all this!

Im too lazy and whats hijacking ???.......I see your ubuntu logo is bigger than my little thumbnail logo...

Notice from truefusion:Technically, it touches on #5 of the TOS. The topic is supposed to be about zanzibarjones's sig, not yours. If you wanted your own attention, creating a separate topic would have been more appropriate.

@Maggot: I think that answers your question about hijacking! Compared to all the sigs on the forum, mine is considerably small in size Anyway let's not all get confused and of-topic here. Posting your sig in a different topic will get you more reviews than posting it in someone else's thread.

This news might sound like a continuation to my earlier thread about China becoming the world's second largest economy, but it's not. It's actually a more general sort of news coming from US President Mr.Obama. Like most of the news I post here, I read this in the newspaper too, so I don't remember all of the details, but Obama said that European and Asian countries are trying to overtake the US in many fields and they're even succeeding in a few of them, and the USA doesn't like this one bit (according to the President). So now armed with a new motto of "Made in America", Obama wants to keep the country's top spot safe in all fields concerned. Will he succeed?

People survived without video games in the past and they can do it now, if they want to, which they don't. So let them choose their hobby and enjoy it Most people do know the effects of gaming for long periods of time and even if they don't, they will realise how tired they are the next day and slowly they will learn to stop playing for hours together. Gaming does have a set of disadvantages but the advantages can't be overlooked!

I am looking forward to that. I have to say that ever since Xisto, I have always been impressed not only with the free web hosting, but with the amount of community involvement here.

 

C'mon myCents

 

Hey zanzibarjones, I got my myCENT update just now, and I noticed that you haven't been awarded any yet I haven't noticed the myCENT changing for other members so I don't know if they update happened only for a handful of members or something like that. Just wait till the end of the day and after that I suggest that you open a support ticket with the subject "ATTN:Opaque" or just send a PM to Opaque directly explaining your problem. Better wait till other members report that they've been updated as well...

You can login from anywhere except your laptop? Then I'm guessing the fault may be within your laptop's browser. Did you try clearing history+cookies and trying again? That is the first thing I do whenever there is some problem with my domain management and usually it works fine. If that doesn't work, try using another browser and check if it still exists. If it doesn't work even then, I suggest that you wait for a few more suggestions over here! I hope your problem gets resolved soon.

You can remove IE but it isn't simple, as you say. Since windows 7 there is the option to remove it completely. For earlier systems like XP you have to first remove SP3 and then you can remove the core - but it leaves some dependancies.
If you really want to get rid then you need to follow a guide like this:
http://webtrickz.com/how-to-uninstall-internet-explorer-8-in-xp-vista-or-revert-back-to-previous-version-of-ie/

or use nlite to do it for you
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/nLite.shtml

Warning - do this at your own risk and don't come crying to me if it goes belly-up :-)

Is it really necessary to take this risk just to remove IE? If we just stop using it and remove it as the default browser that should be enough, as it doesn't take up a lot of space anyway. In Windows 7 there's a feature to remove it but for XP users risking system instability just to remove IE isn't too sensible.

Maybe VLC isn't the perfect media player out there, but in a way it's like Internet Explorer - it's being used by millions of people and a majority of them will stick by it no matter how finely you prove that it's bad. Of course VLC isn't anything like IE in terms of quality - it's very impressive and I've been using it for a long time, and found very few faults with it. Still, it's the fastest player I could find and I'll stick by it no matter what :)esha's Profile

This is a discussion not advertising.....

 

"Advertising is a form of communication intended to persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to purchase or take some action upon products"

 

The above is what advertising is not when someone says something good about a website lol.... As i have mentioned i have just used some parts of the website and never have i posted any links nor have i asked any users to go on and join zimic........

 

Its a forum and we should share knowledge thats why people post on forums....

 

Ha ha cool down....I'm not blaming you or something like that - I'm fine with what people talk about other sites over here and about the advertising part - well, yours would be an unintentional advertisement, i.e, merely speaking about it "enlightens" the other people about that site, so in an indirect way, it is an advertisement Again, I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying, that's all!

hehe, ;pu was waiting for ps2 10years :S?
And you also could buy something better

It may sound funny to others but it's not at all funny to me. I've had that dream ever since the PS2 first came out and even though the dream is outdated now I'm just glad that at least it got fulfilled, and it means a lot to me. I could have bought something else for the same amount of money but then I would perhaps regret the decision not to buy the PS2. So it's done and I'm happy And you can continue laughing

I see what this is all about and yes, I think we all are born with some basic skills but that's just the way everyone is. Call it evolution or something else, but it's "built-in". But calling those skills Maths may not be totally right. Maths is something which is way more advanced and complex.Then what do you call these basic skills that we're born with? Hmm, need to think about it for a while.

Zimic is a really good free hosting website..
For a month now i have been using their space to test scripts and clones...

The scripts hardly work on windows 7 IIS.... But i upload the scripts via ftp to zimic and every script functions perfectly

I give zymic 10/10 with the service they are providing... I Dont know anything about the customer support tho....

I always get a smile whenever I see people discussing other webhosts over here Zymic may be providing free webhosting but I wouldn't go around advertising it I'm content right here and if the community is buzzing with happy members then that's all I ask for.

I haven't received any emails like these and I know I wouldn't be fooled anyway. This is 2010, and by now most people who use Paypal do know that such emails are fake and only the most unsuspecting of them all will fall for such traps in this day and age. Still, it's best to be cautious so be safe everyone!

There are a lot of things that happened before, look at my joined date. when the forum was changed i lost my post but it does not bother me since i am more on Asta than on trap (Xisto.com). As you can see, i don't have myCents either and the post count that you can see is post that I made since around Aug 8 or 10 of the same year till today.
The activity here made me participate.

Good for you that you're participating actively now Just keep up the activity and you'll be surprised when you suddenly see a shower of myCENTs in your account!

Hmm this is a strange problem but I think many people have faced it before. I'm not sure of the solution but I would suggest trying to re-install your drivers. To find out if it is a hardware problem, try using an Ubuntu Live CD to boot into Ubuntu and check if the touchpad problem still exists. If yes, then it's a hardware problem. If it's running smoothly, then it's just the driver problem in Windows.

Hey Shahrukh, your designs are really good-looking I liked the splatter design a lot. As you said, such designs are becoming common these days, but it's still good to see them anyway! Keep up the good work and hope to see more wonderful designs from you in the coming days. After you're done working on your site, how about designing something for Xisto perhaps?
