  1. i used to check out tutorial9 a lot a while back. i think i need to get back into it to learn bout web design. my problem is i can never come up with an idea to keep me interested and continue to work on a website.
  2. i would never use safari on a PC. why? its not worth the maybe small boost in speeds that you get. since safari was designed for Macs the amount of tweaks they needed to do in order to port it over to PC is insane. in one of my classes last year we compared the amount of files/folders/registry changes that were made when installing various browsers.the results were obtained using a freeware program that would snap a photo essentially of your file structure and registry. then you make some changes, run it again and you can see the stats. after doing this with a variety of browsers, Safari on PC was hands down the worse as there were SOOOO many more things changed than with any other browser.
  3. i didn't really read any of the posts to this thread. but based on the title alone i kind of agree with it. the fact is that all public school sucks. high school was an okay time for me, but compared to the college life, it sucks. its one of those things that you need to work yourself through as it isn't going to change. high school is going to suck. no matter how you slice it.the best thing you can do is keep yourself busy and try to take things you like. its when you dont have the flexibility to choose things that there will tend to be problems as you keep losing interest. thats when you will find yourself getting in trouble.once i got in to college and i had basically full control of my schedule, i really took interest to most of my classes with the excepion of hte mandatory classes that i had to take.
  4. the way i see it, an iPhone is good for fun use for little kids. there are so many useless apps out there and thats all you ever hear about. the BB is more about getting things done and getting them done effeciently. anyone that thinks an iPhone is a productive phone is off their rocker. a touch screen cannot be used in anywhere near an effective way as a BB with a physical keyboard can.will BBs ever sell like an iPhone? no. because apple spends millions of dollars on advertising. you see tons of things in regards to the iPhone its rediculous. with the number of apps available (useful or not) theres just so much press about it. i personally won't touch anything apple because i don't like their prices. way to expensive for what they do when i can get something i am willing to buy and can most likely do more.i just picked up the BB Tour last week (essentially the Bold on a different carrier) and i love it. while there arent many apps out for it, i like it a lot. such power in such a little package. if you want a toy get an iPhone/iTouch if you want to get somethign done, get a blackberry
  5. i used knoppix before in a computer forensics class i had. it was kind of a lame class, because our teacher had no idea what he really wanted to do. the process he gave us to install knoppix on a USB key (i think every IT person should have a version of linux on a USB key) was so long compared to the one found on pendrivelinux.com (i think thats the site lol). but other than that, for the purposes we were using linux for i think we would have been better off using backtrack. i think there are many other options than knoppix when it comes to a live cd version of linux. it is ultimately up to the user and their opinion on what they really like. but for me...knoppix isn't my thing.
  6. while you're pretty much right with that response, the fact is it doesnt fully expire then. its in june or july when it truly expires. but in march it does become a nuisance to use as every two hours it will reboot. takes a lot of productivity out of the OS causing you to do something. but you can't argue with a free working OS for almost a year.
  7. i saw this but i think im going to pass. just because i purchased one on release day and while its a pretty sweet device, i just dont use it enough. i have a decent amount of games for it and probably going to sell it. if anyone wants to do business on here lemme know ill give first cracks to someone on here. its in great condition btw. kept it in a logitech hard case.message me if your interested and ill give you more details
  8. haven't seen many topics about UFC and the only one i saw had no replies to it. so im guessing this site is based overseas so the sport of choice is soccer/football. but July 11th marks a historic night for UFC and its fans as it will be their 100th event. the fight card is totally stacked and tickets are being sold at some crazy prices (for UFC at least). im most anticipating the rematch between Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar to determine who is the undisputed heavyweight champ. i'm pulling for brock and i think he can take care of business this time around as his first fight with Mir was when he had little experience and just got over anxious.a bunch of buddies and i are getting together to watch this on PPV and was just curious if anyone else is into UFC and/or going to be watching come next saturday
  9. first off let me comment on eberts "review". that was a load of crap. i couldnt even read half of it, because I knew he didnt understand a damn thing about the movie. it was just a completely mindless review. one of the things i'd like to touch on that others have talked about and was also mentioned in ebert's review, is the speech of the autobots in particular. many don't know why they have the accents they do, but im pretty sure it was touched on in the first movie that they analyzed the behavior of humans and took their speech from the web and what not which is why they have the accents they do. dont quote me on it but im pretty sure thats how it breaks down. as for the movie itself i was thouroughly entertained. i never knew that 2.5 hours could go by so fast. even when it was "slow" it still wasnt that bad as they added some comedic relief in these portions. the action was awesome. some of the better fighting scenes i've seen in a movie. wish some more time was spent with even newer autobots as it seemed the main ones this time were skids and mudflap. would've been nice to see mor about arcee and some of the others you see in the beginning. i agree with you saint about the use of John Turturros character usage. he was kind of an *bottom* in the first movie, but brought a great personality the second time around. i was always laughing at something when he was involved.overall, a great movie. if you loved the first one, i dont see why you wouldnt love this one as well
  10. I don't think many will give up on XP even past its final support date which is a few years down the road I believe. Even after then i'm sure there will be plenty of people still using XP as their windows OS of choice. unless windows 7 proves to be eons better than vista was, which shouldn't be hard to do, many people just won't switch. the core people that i think will switch, are those with vista, and those who want the latest and greatest thing out there. the general consumer and many businesses will continue to use XP because they know it works. i don't blame them either. it just goes with the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." plus people are going to be hesitant to try an OS that many are just referring to as a service pack to vista. while i understand their point of view, i feel it is totally different from vista in terms of looks and functionality. i wish that UAC was completely removed but it isn't nearly as much of a nuisance as i remember from vista (yes i know i can turn it off). if it behaved how linux works, prompting for the users password before changes are made, then itd make a little more sense.
  11. i think the iphone 3gs is just a load of crap from Apple. a new year. a new iphone. this doesnt seem nearly as drastic as the change from gen1 to gen2. its just another reason for apple to get more of everyones money that must have the newest apple gadgets. i for one am steering clear of it as i want nothing to do with Apple products whatsoever. im much happier with the multitude of choices of blackberries
  12. i've tried out a bunch of lesser known distros thanks to distrowatch. however i always seem to come back to Ubuntu. its familiar to me, and the community support is just awesome. time and time again when i've had an issue (dell laptops tend to have things that dont work right) be it the forums there or their IRC channel have been able to help me out and get things working again.i usually set up some VMs to tinker with other OSs while in Ubuntu so i get a feel of different flavors. but nothing has really stuck for me yet.
  13. having recently joined this site under a day ago im very happy to be here and have found this great community. i was on a similar site a few years back and i love this place more already. i havent gotten hosted yet, but im not in much of a rush as i need to come up with an idea for a site to even start. but one thing i want to comment about the site is the "Similar Topics" feature. I think this is a great part of these forums. I havent really seen it anywhere else, and it leads me to even more topics to take a look at. i really enjoy it hear so far and hope to have a great stay here for sure.keep up the awesome work!
  14. i'm all about the horde for three reasons. 1)all my friends are horde2)too many little kids play alliance on my server3)couldnt stand to be an alliance toonmy fav horde race is easily tauren. they are just simply B.A. the druid form is getting re-done in the new patch and i simply cant wait.
  15. an earlier poster mentioned that this is only the case when the foods are RAW. not in any state. and just because someone is vegan doesnt mean they dont believe in cooking. they still cook therefore eliminating your response on the matter. The reason why they are negative calorie foods in their raw state is because it is taking you more effort to break it down than it does to digest the food. until i read this post the only food i really knew that fell under this category was celery, for good reason too. that stuff is hard to eat sometimes
