Yes, of course. You can quit WoW and any games if you dare. I was used to be a WOW player in Taiwanese realm for three or four years, and I have two lv80 characters and tons of under-lv80 ones. As computer gaming bought a negetive impact to my interpersonal relationship and my studies, I decided to withdraw from WOW just one month ago. If you found you have lost something in your life, you may stop playing games (computer, gaming console) for weeks or months.

I am virtually neither a AMD fan or a Intel fan and I would consider the cost/performance ratio of each desired hardware product before I buy them, including CPU. For example, I found an AMD Althon 3600+ suit my need, so I switched my platform to AMD one. One or two years later, I found the C/P ratio of an second-hand Intel E6750 is good enough, so I switched back my platform to Intel.

I use multiple browsers. But I would use Firefox as the primary one. My other choices are Internet Explorer 8 and then Google Chrome.

I have found a tutorial about installing steam and counter strike under linux wine. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ You may have a look on it.

Nice to meet u, mua000 and I'm happy to hear you are experienced in virus removal. I am also interested in computing, especially technical support and programming.

Ya, it is true. I ever heard one of my schoolmate had got his adsense account suspended when his income nearly reached $100 for the similar reason.

cadams, have you tried the solution described in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/916251?

When I wanted to signup x10 to test his service, x10 said: Sorry, x10Hosting is not currently accepting signups from your country (HK) as a result of high levels of abusive requests.Please try back later.Oops... it is unbelievable.

Some Chinese computer users wrote a similar patch called TCP-Z, which its Virtual Drive function can do the same thing of the Event ID 4226 patch without modifying tcpip.sys, and can be activated automatically since boot into windows.

A Hong Kong IT magazine called PC Market has done a performance test for IE8, Firefox 3.52, Chrome 2.0.172.43 and Opera 10. In browser initalization test, Chrome is the fastest, then IE8 follows. However, the results are very comparable.

Mine is same as you, Free Download Manager. I have accustomed to it. But I like using uTorrent to download bittorrent stuff, because it is "small, simple but powerful" and can be used as a green software.

Yes, I think Google will become the new Microsoft. This new giant has involved in various aspects in I.T., eaten many many companies, and even wanted to have her own OS......just let me think Google is very ambitious, to be a new MS.

Sweat. Many well-known packages like apache, mysql are really mature right now, the details of their configuration are somehow fixed. Therefore configuration files are appliable to (OS) upgraded system without significant changes.

A quick method to destory (all lives on) earth is to launch all nuclear missles, hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs to most parts of the world , or to attract an aerolite to let it crush on earth....I pray any of those ideas would never be executed.

It depends on my using Operating System. In Windows, I use Firefox as my primary browser, and Internet Explorer as backup, as Firefox is my old and reliable friend. In Linux, I still use Firefox first, then Konqueror or the one integrated in Gnome.

Nice to meet you, Hax. I am from Hong Kong and I also host the site of my World Of Warcraft guild. The hosting service offered by Xisto - Web Hosting is great, even better than some Hong Kong paid hosting service provider. Your written English is quite understandable, don't worry too much.

For a "pure" beginning, which have not touched any programming language, he may fnd a IDE (and of course a good tutorial) like Eclipse PHP (http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/) would be beneficial.For me, as I often handle PHP files in both ANSI and UTF-8 encoding, and like to modify code files directly, I use Notepad++.

I afraid the shared hosting of Xisto - Web Hosting won't provide such services. It is a "traditional" webpage and email oriented service. If you want a cheap or free speak server, you may have a look at http://www.freeventriloserver.com/ or http://www.freeteamspeakservers.com/, but I cannot guarantee their service quality. If you want a RELIABLE speak server, purchase a paid service. I have googled one of that for you, https://www.ventriloservers.biz/, and it is cheaper than what my former WoW guild purchased.

The technology underneath of that solid state memory is the key of the article. Alike perpendicular recording technology, this recording technology would furthur boost the storage capacity of SSD in the future. Also, I think an 1TB thumb drive will be nothing special after 3 or 4 years.

Ya, I like using addons to enhance my website software, including forum, portal and personal space. And I doubt if forum hosting would limit the use of some PHP functions like CURL, sockets, therefore I personally like traditional web hosting.

The coloring scheme of your website is great - black, gray, red and white. The contrast of text and background is not too sharp to make my eyes uncomfortable. But I would like to recommend you to make the top margin of the content frame wider, at most 2em is okay.

If you are using some web-based applications having backup feature, e.g. Discuz! (a BBS software), you may consider it first. Then you may consider phpMyAdmin, assume you are using both PHP and MySQL, as its backup function is greatly configurable, for example, selecting tables, compression method, and I have not encountered any problem regarding its outcome yet.

Good day to you, sils232 It's great to know you like coding

If there is any spare pen drive, we can also make that as a mobile linux gaming station, because many pen drive is faster than DVD drive.

I believe Windows XP SP3 is the best gaming OS right now. As there are some minor bugs running win games under Linux and more driver-related problems in linux than that in windows, Windows Gaming under Linux is very possible but not as easy as and more bugs (actually OpenGL can not fully emluate Windows-specific DX APIs, but Wine have done it best) than under Windows. Otherwise running Windows games under Linux will be more stable than running Windows games under Windows XP/Vista, and I guess even Windows 7.If you do like 16bit games (i.e.legacy DOS/Win9x games like C&C), Windows 98 SE is the best gaming OS for those, while there is no 16bit app support since Windows Vista. However, the OS design of Windows 9x series is much worse than Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, be prepared for a easily-collapsed OS.So why not Windows Vista/7? As there is a big change of display and sound driver mechanism between XP and Vista/7, there raises some compatibility problems, e.g. some games need apps like Creative Alchemy to make EAX work properly under Windows Vista/7.
