  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.
  16. Life has allot of things that come your way and i think one should make the most of them. This is my general view on Xisto. Just like life there are some good and bad factors for instance the removal of the edit feature or just plain disrespectful people are two factors for me personally but in life there are also those factors and more. I like to look on the bright side and that is that trap offers some good hosting for posting. Trap is not the best community to get an answer to some technical questions, and I think this all comes down to numbers.... trap is not as big as reddit for instance... But i would like to see people being offered an reward for answering an important question to a particular member. Now i know im just shooting in the dark here, and talking is easy for me and everyone else here. But the person who is in charge and actually has to modify the whole system so that the changes may be implemented will probably just grunt at our suggestions that we post. But who knows perhaps there is an easy way to do it ;-)Personally i have posted a technical question and no one has given me any useful answer to my question. Now at the moment this question is not so important to me but if i was really desperate for an answer, it would be cool if i could add some reward to my question and then if the advice i receive actually works i could pay from my account mycents to the person who gave the answer. That way i would trade mycents for good advice. It would open a market for technical people to answer questions on trap. Currently people just post to earn mycents but if they post to really help others and earn rewards this would improve the quality of the forum i think.Just a though...
  17. That is a good question. As a Christian who takes the book of Genesis literally I believe that God created the dinosaurs the same day he created Adam and Eve. This website will explain allot of your questions about the bible Answers I know there is allot of evidence for supporting the evolution belief but much if not more of that evidence also supports the biblical creation. I like unbiased science. Science you can repeat and study.... (ie the The Raw Facts) I ignore pseudoscience such as results derived from radiocarbon dating which has scientifically been proven to be inaccurate. In my faith I choose to believe that the bible is 100 percent true, until it is proven to be false. Most atheist will choose to believe the bible to be false, until proven to be true. Now if I am wrong. I have not much to loose maybe I will be called an idiot by some atheists and laughed at. However If the atheist is wrong, he/she spends their life ignoring the giver of life. Why should the creator of life acknowledge their existence if they do not acknowledge him? You know that phrase that says: Choose your friends wisely!!! that is exactly my thinking here.
  18. Just because you fail to understand that God is not bound by time like you and me does not mean that it is impossible for God to have created the world in six days to look old instantly. He also created Adam as a fully grown man and not a baby. You are trying to replace the creator of the universe with a box of random chance. That is even more absurd. For just one cell to exist it needs to be surrounded by an advanced membrane that only allows certain chemicals in and out only precisely when they are needed. Then the organism requires the correct DNA genetic structure to live. Have you noticed that everything in the world deteriorates? Nothing new gets created without the intervention of an external source. As for dinosaurs, i do not have a problem with them, They are mentioned in the bible as living in the same time as man. I have done my homework on this and thanks to researching this over the years it has subsequently strengthened my faith. Even outside of the bible the evidence for dinosaurs living with man is everywhere. Locness monster? Footprints of humans inside dinosaurs prints? the many documented tales of dragons being slain in the middle ages across all different cultures? Ica burial stone found in Peru? Ironically most of the best evidence comes from the scientists who are evolutionists. Do your own homework... My whole point is that the belief that there is no God is just that, a belief , a "religion" if you will. You yourself should not be afraid to question your faith in these theories of the scientists you bow down to and worship.
  19. Just as much as atheist's dislike other religions preaching to them. They are Hippocrates them selfs whom are just as guilty of preaching their atheist belief as other religions are guilty of preaching their beliefs. So get off your High Horse. You can not use science to disprove God. There is no real way to prove 100% that the earth is billions of years old, yet you keep on preaching your propaganda and mixing it into scientific books so that everyone must believe it as a fact. Rubbish! Compare it to looking at a car traveling past your house. To you that car has driven in a straight line since it came into your vision but that does not prove that the car was driving in a straight line for the last 40 miles. You just can't do that it's stupid. All the scientific evidence for the earth being billions of years old mean nothing to me. Why? because you weren't there when God create everything. Even if it looks 40 kabiliion years old , that still means nothing. It still could have been created in 7 days like the Bible says.
  20. Firstly I am not from the states, but since I heard of the global recession and that it started in the US and trickled down to other countries. I have heard rumours or people saying the recession is over and recover should be starting. However upon looking at this website i have some doubts. Based on the list of failed banks in the US. It does not look like it is improving. Or is there other reasons for this list to becoming longer and longer? Just take a look at how many banks closed in Jan 2009 and Jan 2010. also note the years from 2000 until 2007. https://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/banklist.html
  21. Hey, Just to clarify a bit how do you know norton and macafee secuirty scan is installed on your computer, do they appear in the add remove programs list under control panel ? Are you the only one whom has access to your computer ? is this computer your work computer managed by IT staff ? or your own private machine? Fact: Usually anti virus do not like and won't allow other anti virus to be installed at the same time as this will create conflicts and slow your machine down. One other explanation is you came across one of those websites that does a fake scan on your computer. The browser will look exactly like a standard windows, window while scanning for virus's and then pick up fake infections. I usually laugh so hard at these, cause i run Linux and their is just no way they are fooling me with those fake windows in my browser. On a windows computer i'd be quite paranoid cause those sites probably attack your computer and install junk on it. The best protection against this on windows is to use Firefox with the noscript plugin installed. Do not use IE for browsing!!! Tip: Always make sure your anti virus is up to date and run a full system scan at least twice a month or so.
  22. Take a look at this these verses in Hebrews. Please keep this in context as Hebrews is addressing the sin of rejecting of the Holy Spirit and not the normal sin all Christians commit again. Basically the unforgivable sin. Hebrews 6:4-6 ESV For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, (5) and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, (6) and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. Other verses that talk about the unpardonable sin. Matthew 12:31-32 says, "And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will beforgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."Luke 12:10 says, "And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone whoblasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven."Mark 3:28-30 Most certainly I tell you, [u]all sins of the descendants of man will be forgiven[/u], includingtheir blasphemies with which they may blasphe me (29) but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit [u]never has forgiveness[/u], but is guilty of an eternal sin" (30) -because they said, "He has an unclean spirit." Regarding 1 Cor 15:22: I interpret this verse like this. all referring to all types, nations and race. Only in Christ all shall be made alive. That excludes everyone who is not in Christ. Basicly the point of the verse is that through one man everyone dies and through one man everyone has to be saved. It does not mean everyone will be saved otherwise it clashes with allot of other verses in the bible. What do you think of Jesus's parable of the 10 virgins ? Does it not conflict with your viewpoint ?
  23. I am going to agree with anwiii on this one and go with the view that expectations are selfish. Marriage is not supposed to be slavery is it? I think marriage needs very little expectation. A lot of expectation will only lead to disappointment, anger ,resentment and hurt. However I will agree with some compromise, For example the one partner might feel like they can't live in so much filth and requires things to be clean around the house. While the other partner is a complete slob and doesn't care about the filth he/she lives in. In this scenario it would be unfair to ask the slob to be 100% clean and clean up the whole time, with the same breath it will also be unfair to expect the clean partner to live in a complete mess. So to save the day , they should both compromise, the slob should sacrifice some of his sloppiness and clean up a bit more and the clean person should compromise and lower his/her cleanliness standards. If you aren't willing to compromise you shouldn't be married.Eding my post with in 10 minutes did not work. i clicked edit about a minute after i posted it and it said access denied. wfao#^adv#$geat%!iswopwop There are certain things that one can expect. Like being faithful and keeping your vows. Apart from those there shouldn't be any other expectations. Unless you said in your vows i'll be your slave servant then there should not be anything to worry about. Notice from BuffaloHelp: You can ask a moderator to merge your posts.
  24. This is the situation. I have a Centos Linux samba file server that serves the windows network. Somewhere on the windows network there is a compromised computer that writes an autorun.inf file and some other files to the samba server. The problem is , all the computers have Anti virus and as soon as the infected computer puts the virus on the network one of the other workstations removes the virus permanently. If the virus stays there i could look at the file and see at least which user name created it. I have tried the testdisk utility to see if i can undelete the file but had no success. Ideally it would be very useful if i could setup a program that could monitor the autorun.inf file and as soon as it changes do a lsof command to see who the user is and then also do a netstat to see which computer ip address it traces back to. If i were to do it manually it i could do lsof -V /path/autorun.inf and then take the resulting username and pid number and do a netstat -ap | grep with pid number and that should give the clients IP address. I could write a bash script to automate this. But if there is already a utility to do this or even a way to view the history that would be awesome. I am a bit scared of writing a program or script to do this because i don't know what the overhead on the system will be to do a stat or lsof continuously. I can't imagine that it would be very efficient nor through. If anyone here has used Tripwire, AIDE, Gamin or FAM ? Please could you advice if it would work in my situation. The main thing is I need to track which IP on my Local Area Network puts the auotrun.inf on the server. Im going to look at FAM so long and will report back success or failure if anyone is interested.
  25. I will not hijack this thread and turn it into an creation versus evolution debate. But i am going to say that i do not agree with the evolution theory. Just because you believe you evolved from a monkey doesn't mean it is true. Or that I and everyone else are required to believe it. I think it is more simple, such as people cheat because they are unsatisfied with their current partner. Because if you are truly happy with your current relationship then you aren't going to risk ruining that happiness with someone. It also has to do with self respect and respect for your partner.
