I'm on the internet for 12 hours... and I sleep for 12 hours... :angel:

errr.... "Saw on the news"? It's not just a web article, it was on tv.. imo, some of these are a good start to going green, but unless the prices drop, things will get only worse because of the recession, no one will be able to afford those things.. especially the hybrids and fuel-effeciant cars. Getting the truckers off the streets OR making the semi's put out less emissions would be one of the biggest parts of our problems, resolved. and of course... stop burning fossil fuel! that's the worst one of our problems, with all of our technology we don't need that...

I saw on the news "10 Things That Will Stop Production In 2010" These things include: *link* Here are my view about this: DVDs - not surprising, their going to be replaced by Blue-Ray, but Blue-Ray is HD, does that mean they will be getting rid of the standard TV soon? they haven't they would, but the only way anyone benefits from Blue-Ray is if they have an HD television. so in my opinion if they plan to keep the standard television, what's the point of switching to Blue-Ray? Home Telephone Service - Getting rid of landlines? I highly doubt that! there are so many things that rely on landlines, Businesses, it would be hard in my opinion to run a business from a cell phone. and another example is parole, when someone is issued an ankle bracelet they must have a landline to communicate with the station, what are they going to do about this? use a cell phone?! I think not. plus the country-living people who relay on dial-up internet (me) will have to switch to more expensive satellite internet, and for some (me) the price of such internet will have to go down before they can afford it. External Hard Drives - Ok this one I find highly stupid, External Hard Drives are not a big thing that they should stop making them, they are a simple tool for storage, the article claims online-storage is a better alternative... what if you run out of space on your computer and need an external to expand your space and run programs from? you can't do that with online-storage. External Hard Drives are used for more then storage so I don't see these going away anytime soon. Smartphone Also-Rans - Not surprising, the iPhone and Blackberry will be replacing older models.. what's the big deal here? Compact Digital Cameras - Same as the above statement, a newer technology is replacing the old, no big-deal. although the newer models will be $500+ isn't that what the Polaroids first costs? Newspaper Subscriptions - Also not surprising, almost everyone uses the internet or a cell phone as a source for news, and now that the Kindle has been introduced I imagine this is what will be replacing newspapers. CDs - Sales of CD's are dropping, everyone knows this, I myself never buys a CD, it's so much easier to download and burn music, but even with this said, it's not clear what will be replacing them.. MP3 players? IPod's? or maybe something new that their not telling us about? sure they say downloading music is more convenient, but in my opinion that will promote piracy, and what will we play the music on besides MP3 players and IPod's? I suppose there are stereos that play audio files from a USB, but again, they are not clear on this. New College Textbooks - This is a good idea, I don't think a bran-new book should be issued to everyone, most used books are like-new, this will be good for the environment, but that does not mean they should stop printing them all together, because sometimes books get outdated. Gas-Guzzling Cars - This is the best turn-around they can do! the would needs to go green and stop destroying the earth!, not much more to say about this, but it's unclear about what will happen to the owners of these Gas-Guzzling Cars, will they be able to trade them in for fuel-efficient cars for free? I doubt it. Energy-Inefficient Homes and Appliances - Just like the cars, this is good for the environment, not much more to say about this. So what's your views?

WOW!!! thank you!!! this is so awesome!! I didn't have to register, just put my website URL into the box and within 30 minutes I had 50+ screenshots of my website from different browsers, and you can download all of the screenshots really fast.. (Small file sizes) this is now one of my #1 tools! thanks!!

I agree with you there. because of the detailed imagery, you can plan a crime from thousands of miles away! idk I just found it really creepy. Plus, not everything it shows is visible to the public. things from deep within your property that you can't normally see without actually going on the property is shown.. therefore.. you can look deep within private property...

Maybe you should extend this SOTW? I must be blind because I didn't even see this topic until today O_O

I went on Google Maps for the first time and typed in my address, at first I saw a harmful map of my city.. but when I click the "Satellite" button I was shocked!I could actually see my house and everything around it crystal clear!! I feel this is an invasion of privacy, what do you think?

Woh, there's some nice tutorials and scripts there... it's like... script heaven.... thanks I'll be using alot of those recourses :] Nice tutorial. I've seen something like the second one where a portion of the image is shown until the mouse moves over it then it scrolls to another part of the same image, nice :angel:

Ok I have a few questions and thought I'd just put them all in one thread :angel: #1 I am buying a new domain, once I apply it, what will I have to do to the scripts I have installed? I'm sure that my paths will be messed up upon getting a new domain right? #2 I have a forum set up on my site, the path where it is, is currently in the main directory, but I want to move it to /forums/, to do this will I just have to edit the forum configurations file? or do I have to edit the SQL in any way? #3 I want to make a nav menu and I don't want to use flash anymore. I am trying to make a 3 image mouseover affect but don't know where to start. this is what I'd like to do: Thanks in advance

Just to put in my 2cents, wouldn't this also work? <?phpinclude_once './version.xml';?>Couldn't you point it to the xml file by doing that? I am still new to php so don't yell at me if I'm wrong :angel:

Well, I have 50kbps dialup and pay about $12 a month for it... yea it really sucks but that's all we can afford.what's more, I have to reconnect every 3 hours because it kicks me off.. they claim they "Don't want idle connections" IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE UNLIMITED!! DOES THAT SOUND UNLIMITED? no, it does not. but they will not remove that annoying 3hr limit on continuous connections. btw it's NetZero, when I had peoplepc I never had this problem and I payed less!

For people who want an absolutely fantastic mmorpg and don't want any limitations of "Free To Play Mode" you need to get Eternal Lands It's ran purely on donations and there is NO "Premium mode" it's 100% free! and it's better then runescape or other games, and since this game is HUGE you can play for 4 years and still be a noob! how fun! :angel: but beware, the mods are strict, if you say one bad word it's a perm ban.... which is why I don't play it anymore.. if you ask me that part is the only drawback to the game. but in terms of gameplay and graphics this game is #1 They have trailers on their site http://www.eternal-lands.com/

Yes I saw that too, it just makes me mad, no one, not even the law imo has a right to watch kids from a webcam.. that's communism, a complete lack of freedom and privacy. I hope the parents that are suing them get's them for millions, and I hope all the kids's parents affected sues them. @anwiii No, the story I heard the kids obviously didn't know this was going on, one of the kids that was interviewed even put tape over the webcam after he heard what happened. Here's the story, (kfvs12 is my local news station :angel: ) http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

From what I can see, you want a table with an image as a background and text on top if it, correct? that's easy! <center><table background="URL_TO_BACKGROUND" width="500" height="200"><tr><td>TEXT OR OTHER CONTENT GOES HERE.</td></tr></table></center> That will make a table with a static background in it that you can add content over. for exact positioning you can do this: <DIV ID="Floating" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index:1;"><table background="URL_TO_BACKGROUND" width="500" height="200"><tr><td>TEXT OR OTHER CONTENT GOES HERE.</td></tr></table></DIV> Edit the Top and Left values to adjust the position, if you want to position if that background method doesn't work for you you can try this: <div style="background-image: url(URL_TO_BACKGROUND); height: 200px; width: 500px; z-index: 1"><table width="500" height="200"><tr><td>TEXT OR OTHER CONTENT GOES HERE.</td></tr></table></div> Hope I helped you. tell me if this isn't what you're looking for.

I've always found toothpaste to work really good, here's what you should do.First you will need tooth "Paste", the gel kind won't work. just go to the dollar store and get the kind without a smell because you'r house will smell like mint lol1) Clean the disc with soap and water to assure nothing is on it2) Squirt some toothpaste of disc.3) Use an old cotton shirt and buff from the center outward in a circular motion, applying moderate pressure and using more toothpaste as needed.4) Depending on how bad the CD was scratched, wash the toothpaste off and repeat the process a few times, keep buffing for about 20 minutesNote: when you are doing this your Disc will appear to have small circular scratches on it, almost like you took fine sandpaper to it lol, these kind of scratches will not harm the reading of the disc, trust me. because their so fine.Ok now you will need to polish the disc, we will also be using toothpaste to do this.1) Squirt some toothpaste on the Disc and gently rub the paste outward until the entire disc is covered with toothpaste.2) Let stand for about 5 minutes.3) Wash the toothpaste off the disc and repeat the proses about 5 - 10 times, or until you get board.You have now polished your Disc and chances are you have fixed your Disc, but I would still backup the data because that disc isn't going to last a long time.

I've always found it easier this way: Go to a youtube video. I'll use this one as an example: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Look at the URL and replace the word "Youtube" with "voobys" so now the URL will look like this http://www.voobys.com/watch?v=Ua3hZXfNZOE This will allow you to download the .flv file, but I find it easier. and there's also a link on voobys for downloading an flv player that you can use to play the videos but to extract the audio I'd say use the program the topic poster provided.

1- Yes, I got my .com in only a week of joining trap.2- Domain is $9 annually, with free setup.3- An addon domain is where you can add a domain you got elsewhere and when you update the name servers on that domain, it becomes your website domain, (You will still also have your current domain also if you do this.) so, you can have more then one domain name pointing to your website.A parked domain is when you own a domain, but do not wish to have it associated with a website, simply put, the domain is parked lol, it's inactive but still under your ownership To register a domain with xisto, click the "Order" link and look at the bottom of the page where it says "Domain Registration"

Well I doubt someone will go to the trouble of registering it, paying money. when I'll register it myself before anyone will have the time to lol Because, I had already registered one, but after the purpose of my site changed I need a new name.

Money. Amazon and Ebay. :-/ Games and Audio/Computer Hardware. Never, I'm poor. Online. Never, I'm poor! Yes. No, because I usually don't have money. Survey completed. where's my money?

Hai yaponhel welcome to Xisto! I can see you're a bit confused so let me clear things up. First, make sure you have read the Xisto Readme and have linked your xisto account with your Trap account by registering with the SAME email address you used here at Trap.

(.com) Remember, one-liner posts like the one you just made won't make much MYCENT's, try to post good quality helpful posts, (You can earn as much as $1 per post) Welcome to Trap! if you need anything else please don't hesitate to ask!

Hai! I've almost finished my website and am trying to think of a new name for it. here's what I'm thinking of: I'd like the name to be short and one word, it should be a made up word like xisto lol, it should be catchy, this can be ignored if the name is good (Domains can be checked here) it must also be .com! What will my website be about? I will be selling Web Design! and it will also be a community support forum and will have a few more boards (imageboard/downloads/more..) I would think of one myself but I'm stumped lol

As I have said in This post and other posts, this forum needs Inferno Shoutbox. but after I investigated this forum, I can now say that the problem Does Not lay with the shoutbox. it's a problem with the server, because not only is shoutbox timing off, but posts are too!the problem is very strange because it should be happening to everyone, but it doesn't, it seems to be quite random who it chooses to affect and now much they are off, I have never seen anything like this and I'm sure it's got the admins stumped aswell. but rest assured there is nothing wrong with the shoutbox.

I had the same problem, all I had to do was run my computer from a linux CD then I was able to access the files on my harddisk.. but after I backed up the files I did have to get a new HD. the most likely reason is the part of your HD that has your OS installed has gone bad. or maybe you didn't have an OS installed? if this is the case then you will probably need to get it professionally backed up.

When did you get the PM's? I sent them a few minutes after I stopped talking in the shoutbox. they may have been delayed because of the messed up server time..
