  1. I never said opaque cannot change it, he can and he did it is his site he can do what he wants end of story. There was no insult intended from me i was just telling how it is. Yes i have read the explanation of "sutra" but it is unrealistic to expect every new visitor and my passing co-workers to go and read up about it. And because of that you are saying i should leave? anwiii you are emitting some really bad karma there...please try to be a little more understanding before you start asking people to leave.
  2. I agree with that, i am now far less likely to tell my friends about Xisto than Xisto. About a week ago i told a friend who was looking for hosting about Xisto but with the new name i am far less likely going to want to explain the "sutra" stigma that comes with it. Not to mention the work risk factor to allow anyone to see i am browsing a site from work in lunchtime with the word "sutra" in it cause the likelihood that a co worker will assume i am surfing an adult content site is not a risk i am willing to take. So i won't visit from work as often as i used to.
  3. I think the whole point of this poll is just to say that the site is going to change, it seems like he probably already decided and was most likely hoping people would like the new name but he would go ahead regardless of what the outcome of the poll would be. OpaQue is the admin and it is his right as admin to do what he wants with this domain and forum even if we do not agree with him. What is a major inconvenience is that we require flash to even get to the forum link. Lucky for me I correctly guessed and added \forum to the end of the url otherwise i would have not have made it back. Normally when i find a site that demands flash whilst i do not have it installed I just close the page and make a mental note to never return. I can imagine some new visitors will be like me and think it's not worth it if they have to install flash to see what the page is about. Sometimes I use flash but not all my computers has flash nor am i going to bother to install flash on every single Linux distribution that I use.
  4. My original idea was for the rapist to be given the death penalty by default but the rape victim has the option to stop the execution so that the rapist receives a public lashing instead. If punishment is not there to serve the victim then why do we do it? Does justice not belong to the victim? If you only punish people to correct their wrong behavior then that is called corrective/rehabilitative action but certainly does not mean justice for the victim in my book.
  5. Look you are either guilty or not guilty. He either raped the girl or he did not rape her. This man was convicted of rape and he received a sentence 20 month sentence...is that Just ? As for innocent people being convicted why should that have any bearing on the punishment of an actual guilty person? We need to fix the real problem here but instead it looks like this. Our car has a flat tire, but instead of fixing the flat tire we want to deflate the other 3 tires so our car is more level.What kind of logic is that ? Why don't we improve the way the court convicts people instead? Someone said everyone makes mistakes and I agree with that and this is also why I believe that justice has to be swift and immediate and in some cases it must even be a fatal in order to remain just. However the important thing is a perpetrator can move on with their life if they did not make a too big mistake. Today there are far too many Dad's and Mom's rotting away in prisons for minor things like smoking weed or stealing, where as they could have been punished and moved on with their lives already. These people could be out suporting their families but thousands will miss out on years with their families just because of minor mistakes. Prison should not be used as a form of punishment because that in itself is an terrible injustice. Anwiii has said the victim has less of a objective perspective when it comes to deciding on this man's fate. But i' want to ask you, Who was raped and violated ? Who suffers the physiological and physical damage ? Who needs to be compensated , Who does justice belong to the most ? a third party? How does a third party know what would compensate the victim ? Only the victim can know what punishment would be enough to satisfy the victim and only the victim should make that decision. Unless your third party can and will read minds they would only be guessing what the victim wants. Plus for any victim it is imperative to be able to forgive their perpetrator in order to truly move on with their life (this could take years) If the victim feels they had part in the decision of the perpetrator's punishment then they would be more likely to accept the justice served is just for them. However if you deny the victim proper justice how much more unlikely it will be for them to quickly forgive the perpetrator in order to move on with their life?
  6. For those of us who don't read Indonesian here is the Google translate link translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=id&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fus.detiknews.com%2Fread%2F2010%2F03%2F10%2F070144%2F1314964%2F10%2Fsiswi-smea-diperkosa-jaksa-hanya-tuntut-pelaku-2-tahun-penjara%3F991102605 Not that it tells much more detail than FouGilang already told us. I don't mind if the link is in Indonesian as long as the original poster does not leave any details out in their translation, which does not seem to be the case in this post. As for the story...Real men do not rape!!! If i was a judge I'd give the death penalty and only the victim the option of letting the rapist live and instead receive only a near death lashing. A lashing that will have them crippled with pain for the next year at least. That is the only way to sort them out. Non of this prison bs where they live of taxpayers money and learn to be a gangster to only rape and steal even more. Prison does not rehabilitate people, instead it makes them better criminals.
  7. I was not keeping count , if this is not a non post count sub forum i guess it would be round about 1.00 mycents. It's not like i was desperate for mycents because i don't need to earn mycents for at least 3 more months before i really need to post again. My post is there because i wanted to added my view on the original subject. If it's too long , im sorry. And i don't think codebox counts to mycents in anyway.
  8. I think the outcome of a domain name change has the possibility to be positive but it is definitely not likely to be easy. Looking at what you currently have is a well established brand that has several pros. I'll attempt to list a few of them. 1. Short and Easy to remember domain name ( Personally I struggle to remember people's names 5 seconds after meeting them even after shaking their hands and looking them in the eyes and repeating their names but somehow the current domain name stuck to my memory from the first time I read it.) 2. Already established listings in search engines etc. 3. Current domain name does at least partly represent what is being done. (people are being trapped by good hosting service) 4. Current name is neutral towards all groups and people. Trying to change this brand without losing any of the pro's will most likely prove to be quite a challenge. As far as I have witnessed, it seems that all of the newly suggested names has fallen short of at least the first and most important pro that the current domain name already has. "Sutra" must go: Do not underestimate how many people would avoid visiting a website from the workplace due to the name even sounding like it could be related to adult content. In the same breath this could be positive for your traffic as 90% of the Internet is adult content. Do you really want to attract that type of audience? If the name fails to be neutral towards all groups and people you will end up luring some groups and alienating others. Avoiding names that support one religion, spirituality , race or nation is important if your target market is going to be over the entire world. I think a compromise can be worked that will keep most of the pro's. Here are some names that I ramble off perhaps some of them will help. infotraptrapinfopin17infopinpintrappincluetidingstipammoammotrapcluehook tiphook tiptrap tiptralorepinloreleakkeypintipleakpinleak tippin Ooo the possibilities are endless... which ones will work??? .... Arrgh it's driveing me insane :angel: Good Luck in your quest.
  9. I use nod for my work place for about 25 computers and nod does have a remote administrator tool that allows all the nod clients on your lan to connect to the server and download updates from one pc and dump log files. The virus definitions for nod is also the smallest i have seen compared to other anti virus. Plus nod can even block removable media if you want to help stop those flash drive virus's on "public" workstations. One more good reason to have nod is that it's performance is really good and it uses very little system overhead therefore I do consider nod faster than other av's such as avg, kaspersky , trendmicro, officescan, norton, clamwin, panda and fsecure to name a few that i have tried. Pricing is also reasonable.
  10. Indeed I believe there is a healthy amount of Linux users on Xisto. Based on a old poll i saw here a while back, I think there might even be more Linux users here than Windows users. I probably started goofing around with Suse 9.1 in 2004 i think, After someone from work invited me to a Novell Linux Seminar. After about 2 years I made a permanent switch to Linux on my home laptop. I can recall that I settled for the PC-Linux OS distribution at the time. Yet aother year passed and I finally switched over from windows to linux at work and used wine to run any windows appz i needed at work. At this time I was the only person at my office using Linux in a windows environment and at some stage I had a NX service running on my box that allowed some of my colleagues (windows users) to log into my Linux computer and play the Linux games (mostly Frozen Bubbles) on their windows desktops at the same time I was working in my email, web browser and wineappz. I was quite impressed considering the hardware I had was only a 700mhz with 512 mb memory. When i changed jobs again II had to use windows again and after a few months I installed Linux on my work box again and ran windows within vmware after getting really annoyed at always having to rebooting windows and not being able to anything while it is in the process of rebooting. At least since then I could reboot my virtual windows and carry on working in Linux. Nowadays I use Sun Virtual box instead of vmware, and only use windows for the programs that doesn't work under wine. Email, web stuff etc I do all via Linux. My preferred distro for servers is Centos and for desktops Knoppix (for Low spec hardware) and PC-Linux (for Better hardware) Right now on my workstation Knoppix 6.2. On my Laptop at home I Duel boot PC-Linux 2009 and Knoppix 6.2 All of my servers are Centos 5.1 or 5.2 Except for fire-wall's which are IPCOP based. A low spec Laptop with Linux plus Dosbox and some old classic dos games still keep me entertained most of the time. I like old school games. Even age of empires, dark reign etc work with wine.
  11. I am an IT administrator for an organization and we have been using Nod for the last 4 years. Personally i think nod is one of the best anti virus packages out there. We have a license for 25 computers and i installed the NOD administrator on my xp computer and I let all the other computers point to my computer for updates and dumping of their log files. So from my computer i able to see which computers are being attacked by what malware and if they are up to date with patches etc. The administrator package allows you to do remote installs of any software you want so you can use this tool to deploy other software to your network. The nod client also has the ability to block removable media or only allow a certain usb device and not the rest. This exact feature is very useful if you want to disable flash drive virus's or stop employees from stealing company information via the usb port. Even though nod is very good there are sometimes malware that can get through just like all the other av's out there. There is just no AV that will protect 100% against everything. But I will say nod is certainly worth it's price.
  12. I think Google street view is definitely an invasion of privacy, They should require the permission of the owner of a property to take pictures. Because now criminals can use this data to their advantage and plan crimes and attacks with less risk and effort. I think the same should go with the satellite pictures they take. They should blur out every property until they have express permission of each owner to unblur that their property. The Internet is great for sharing information but sometimes I hate it for how invasive it has become. If the Internet ever dies i won't miss that part of the Internet one bit. It is not only Google it is Facebook too. How many times did you feel like asking someone did i give you permission to put that pic of me on the net?
  13. Greetings and Welcome to Trap maazali I can certainly understand how frustrating it is when you have to wait for name servers to be updated. Recently it took me 3 weeks to get my domain to pointed correctly to the Xisto's name servers. Xisto has a good support system system and I had to use it. I cannot blame the entire 3 weeks on Xisto, some of it is me , some of it is Xisto , and mostly my domain registrar. Now that everything is working , It seems to be working well, and my website is fast. So overall I am impressed with the service Xisto gives. But if i had to get other domain pointed to Xisto i'd open a support ticket first and confirm that all is ready on their side before i try to update name servers. Lol i would not have wasted 3 weeks of hosting If someone had given me this advice I could have saved some credits. But oh well it's easy to make more :-D
  14. I can think of one example where your initial idea will be applicable. Imagine a soldier robot that is actually controlled by a person who is playing first person shooting game. The person who plays the game might not know what is happening in real life and only think it is a game or simulation. But in real life the robot is killing enemies and reaching objectives thanks to the human player making intelligent choices for the robot. Apart from first person shooters i can't really imagine any other viable scenarios where game players will be controlling robots in real time/life.
  15. People always want what they can't have. It's kinda human nature.... For example she wanted you when you didn't want her and you went to the other girl. Now the wheel has turned and you want her and she doesn't want you. This is a very important lesson in life to learn. The wheel never stops turning you might be on top today but tomorrow you might need to grasp onto the hand of the person that was under you today. Do unto others as you would want to be done unto you.I might be wrong but I suspect that females don't find needy guys attractive at all. It sounds like you screwed it up with her permanently already! So Letting her know that you need her and can't live without her is not going to help you now in fact it will make it worse. Instead you should sincerely apologizes to her and tell her that you think she deserves someone better than you will from now on leave her alone n and you wish her the best in life. Then leave it at that. And chance your ways . become a better person by doing something great. Like helping old lady's across the road, Volunteer at some charity/animal shelter and help others out. Do some crap like that. At least you will learn to become a better person who knows maybe you'll meet a better girl that the one you want now... or she might then see you changed your ways and want to be friends again. Although I strongly advise against being just friends with a girl that you have feelings for... Trust me that in itself is just another form of hell !!!! The important thing here is closure for you. Be sincere and final in your apology don't hope that she'll take you back, cause if she has half brain, she will not take you back! Don't let your apology be an email or sms. If you have to write it, at least write it by hand and deliver it personally and say you are sorry. If you need help formulating an apology I am sure we can help you to make something that will leave you content about yourself and her thinking Wow he isn't such a jerk afterall.
