Just found some new news : Store original images for only six months? That means that the Google camera cars will need to be on a constant drive aorund to update imagery. Hence your perceived threat to privacy will be even more than it is now, simply because the imagery will be much more recent and accurate. In actual fact, if a Google camera can see a locality, so can anybody else who may be there. I cannot possibly see how this is an invasion of privacy at all. For Gods sake Europe, do you actually want this FREE convenience or not?

I double that request :angel: i didn't see this post until Soviet posted in it

I have always known some sites that are just like the one you have described..here are the few that actually look good and have nice features! 1. WowInstaller, this one is actually not a Joomla Template but its kind of like a script that automatically does everything when you enter your guild name and set the configs. It automatically has user names, ranks, levels and other stuff like chat areas. It also has some templates that look AWESOME that you can download and try it out, and use the ones that you like. 2. ClanTemplates - This website generally contains are the templates for any cms that are in the 'Clan' area , from counter strike to halo, its all there. 3. Bestofjoomla - It provides are kinds of templates for joomla and its contains some clan/wow ones too. 4. JoomlaShack - Same as bestof joomla, but not so organized. 5. WowJoomla - Same as clantemplates but more focused only on wow, as you might have guessed. :angel: There are plently of templates out there and it would take long to say them all but if you don't like those above, try searching for more or try coding it yourself (its really, really fun )!

Yeah i really hated those movie people (dreamworks, and everyone) when they got together and brought down mininova, i used to go there a lot, but you should try going to thePirateBay or isoHunt, those are probably the 2 best ones for public downloads, and they are pretty good but if you really like speed, then try getting a Demonoid referrals, they are private, and their speeds are best because everyone who downloads seeds it too :angel:

You should probably get some free software scripts and download Wamp 2.0 and set it up on your computer. After that, edit and tweak till it doesn't even look like the script anymore, and then you can add your own features in it or hire people to create them (or you can get them online for cost as modules)! This is only if you want a simple site though, if you want a good Facebook type site with more than 100000+ unique vistors, you should probably buy a script called SocialEngine, its highly customizable and supports features like video sharing, friends, facebook like walls and photo album sharing! You can test drive their demo on their site! It might be a little expensive, but not compared to what you can make with the ad money. :angel:

Over the years I?ve traveled quite a bit, both in the United States and to other countries, and I?ve found some great vacation spots. I think my most favorite would have to be Hiroshima, Japan. The city itself is not extraordinary in a structural sense, but rather it is the way in which the city recovered after the atomic bomb disaster. There is remarkable beauty and hardiness to the city and its people. In addition, several scenic locations are just as breathtaking as they were before the disaster.Amongst my other favorites, I enjoyed Salt Lake City, Utah for the salt lake and just the general kindness of people in the town. Toulouse, France is another favorite for its countryside. For a tropical climate, Scottsdale, Arizona has golf, boating, and beautiful water! I hope i can go to more in other vacations

A Forum For...um, My Website? Discuss stuff, people
deadmad7 replied to Jonnyabc's topic in Websites and Web Designing
That depends on what features you want. SMF has a lot more features than phpBB, such as attachments, spell check (requires the ASpell library for PHP), sub-boards, a quick reply box, unlimited poll options (256 by default, but can be increased with a few tweaks to the database), news feeds from forum content, SSI.php (30+ functions to make website integration easier), etc.If you want any of those features, then SMF would be your best option. If its about the looks and templates I think it's about the admin and not the forums. A good admin can make phpBB look and function great and do the same with a SMF script too. You don't need to get a fancy script running to have a good forum. You need to get a script you can work on and make it unique. If you have more experience with SMF, then work on it. Don't just install a forum script. MODIFY IT. Even the latest VB script unmodded and with a default theme would be worse than a well modded phpBB. People need to understand that the script is only the framework of your "masterpiece". The true work is in the theme and script modding, not just the installation. I might get on some people's toes here, but I'm sick and tired of default looking forums, whether they are phpBB, SMF or whatever. Spending money on a script or installing a good free one won't make your project good. Making it look different from others and function as your members need it to function is the key -
The best part of this movie for me were the visuals. It was that desaturated yet deep color that is reminiscent of World War II movies yet had that blue-tinted 1950s feel. As a writer weaving my own tale in both decades, even one that questions your sanity and deals with post traumatic stress, it did my heart good. From the darkened clouds that fell upon the island to the dungeons of Ward C every piece of set and film is meticulously toned and framed. The movie starts out in this broad general environment of ocean and quickly closes in from the island to the wards to the mind itself. As the tension builds we look more and more inward until we release at the end.

The game is amazingly scalable. It even has a netbook mode (which works awesome BTW) I run it on my gaming PC maxed and respectably on my netbook. It even performs well on a test box at my work. The game itself is totally worth it. Not only for the supporting of a smaller dev but also to see someone make a fun game again. As for naming the cat Rawr, I lol'd. My dog's name is Rawk. :angel: Great right up, I highly recommend this game to everyone that likes old school hack and slash. Think of it as Diablo 2.5.

Ralph The Rabbit The Worlds Biggest Bunny
deadmad7 replied to deadmad7's topic in General Discussion
LOL, who would ever wanna eat some Rabbit BBQ! :angel: Makes me sick just thinking about it, even I who eats all kinds of meat from chicken to squid. And to top that off, you have a sheepdog as your username and avatar! But, I do agree, rabbits can be aggressive sometimes, but who would ever want to hurt this one? -
Computinghost Rated On Web Of Trust Youll be surprised.......
deadmad7 replied to thejode's topic in Web Hosting Support
If you went to the website that you have linked, you can see that 9 people have shared their experiences and that 7 had good ones and the other two (if you see down) they are the users named 'hpHosts' and 'Arcade?' which i am guessing are people who want to ruin the Xisto - Web Hosting by saying stuff about the host so that people wont buy a plan from them and they can get the majority of money for themselves. I also found out that the WOT isn't always trustworthy as the analysis on google.com says that 58 people experienced adware and spyware on it! I mean, i never got any malicious content from google, and all the products are good , well except for adSense which ripped me for $30 bucks :angel: -
I just got a HUGE hint for site... I could make my site with a small hosting plan (logic pro) and then gain enough money from ads and other stuff so that i could get money from there and some from mycents! Of course, that is if you take money from myCents and PayPal at the same time. I was wondering if you can pay like that, thats probably the only way i can get that plan...or post for a year and by the time i get my plan, its gonna be 2012 and we are all gonna die.. and everything is gonna be crazy and the internet will be waste after that.
-
This is pretty lame... The Unlimited Plan for $7 a month was probably the best plan on the site and now its been replaced with the same features for double the amount and there is NO way people would sign up for myCents to get that plan.. you have to be more reasonable. I was seriously considering planning that plan with myCents and now i cant But i am curious, what happens to the people who already have this plan? Do it still continue or is this the last month/year?

It's hard to know what to say about this. It utterly dumbfounds me.I mean the school had to decide this was something they should do, indicating more than one person made this decision. At the very least, one person made this decision then a lot of other people knew about it and didn't cry out in outrage. Somehow it was kept a secret, until this Vice Principal character decided a students behaviour warranted disciplinary action. Outing the whole program. I mean, how screwed are the heads of the people that decided this was a good idea? How utterly stupid is this vice principal thinking it wouldn't bring a lawsuit and about the worst negative publicity you could imagine on the school. How pathetically weak were the people who knew about this, disagreed and still kept their mouths shut? Everything about this is just wrong, wrong, wrong.Also in Digital Nation, the documentary project that Douglas Ruskoff was a big part of, explored a similar issue. They showed a school (middle or high school) that really embraced laptops and new media as part of the learning process. It was the job of a staff member to spend a couple hours each day monitoring what the students were doing - working, surfing, etc. The staff member who was monitoring showed how he could remotely snap a photo when a student was using Photobooth during class, and how this usually caused them to get back to work.But that was at school with laptops presumably provided by the school, so while it still feels a bit odd to me, I think there's a good argument for the practice in that environment.But to extend that to the students' homes? That's terrible. And really creepy.I hope it wasn't the same school that they showed in Digital Nation, because I kinda liked their style.

I got really surprised when i saw this, as i saw in the news last year about how the mother rabbit died from 'Stage fright', and i thought i should post it over here. Ralph is probably the biggest and most cute bunny i have ever seen! I hope he doesn't die young like his mother. What do you think about this?
-
I don't pick up on that idea at all, even though it would be nice to have a tittle tag without getting the number of posts required. Like Baniboy had already said, people don't give out wrong information, but if they do, there are least 10 other posts that you can look At and determine what is true yourself or google it:lol: But the mods can make this happen very quickly, it's not likethe mods are working that hard... There are just about 20-30 or less people who can fit in these category. The mods should know all of them, so it will take little time!

Scientists have correctly proven nuclear fusion, in a test performed by aiming hundreds of lasers at atoms. It is important to get everything working absolutely perfectly and then to progress gradually up the energy scale with the laser shots. It is not yet known exactly where the laser energy threshold is for triggering fusion and, at these high energy levels, the lasers can easily be damaged by the firing process. Later this year (2010) a carefully designed set of shots, gradually increasing in laser power) will begin, and there is high confidence that, during this sequence (between 2010 and 2012), a fusion burn will occur … with net energy gain. THAT is the next big step along the path to the “Holy Grail” of clean green energy… although the story won’t be over by any means. Beyond what has been termed “First Ignition” there is the challenge of taking this knowledge forward and building a “test bed” which will be used to develeop all the materials and technologies needed for a laser fusion power plant, capable of delivering electricity on the industrial scale. The international HiPER Project is now in preparation for the moment when NIF achieves first ignition. Already ten nations have started working together to prepare for that next big step, and they have partners across the world. There is no shortage of governments who have already recopgnised the huge potential of harnessing the method that nature herself uses to release energy on the grand scale. The green energy lobby is approaching the point where it really will come of age. Those who really care for our precious planet and who have also taken the trouble to learn how the various energy approaches actually work now understand that, just because fusion energy employs a “nuclear” process, it doesn’t need to be equated to the past horrors of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. Nuclear fusion will be a very clean process and will also bring a period of the stability associated with all nations having a reliable energy fuel source for the truly long term.As consumption of fossil fuels runs ever faster in the developing world it is up to the scientists (and the politicians who can fund their work) to ensure that we develop another way of making the energy we need in time to prevent us entirely ruining our planet. That perhaps is the biggest challenge of all… Fusion is taking longer to master than the life of any government, and it will take politicians of truly exceptional vision and selflessness to help see the work through. There is a need between now and the achievement of fusion energy for many diferent approaches, including renewables and fission too, (since otherwise the lights will soon start going out). But fusion must be mastered, otherwise we will be visiting the most appalling future on our own grandchildren. For me, that is NOT an option !

Study Finds Brain Damage Leads To Greater Spirituality
deadmad7 replied to rob86's topic in Health & Fitness
This finding weakens the argument of those who say they believe in God. Notice this does not account for the minority of monotheistic beliefs, but rather ALL spiritual beliefs. There is a physical mechanism for spiritual experience in the brain, one which all religions by definition tap into.Saying that the existence of such a mechanism supports the existence of a god or many gods is counter-intuitive. If there is a biological, physical system for inducing spiritual feelings that can be turned on and off, how does it make sense to say it supports the existence of something divine? Isn?t it far more likely that there are survival advantages for a social, foraging species like ourselves to feel connected to the world at large and explain spirituality as a acquired trait? For the majority of human history our survival depended on cooperation between individuals and staying attuned to natural patterns and cycles.I realize an argument based on likelihood will probably be lost on spiritual people, but I have to ask the question. If there is some divine presence in the universe, why would its effects be modulated by a part of our brain? Shouldn?t the influence of an omnipotent being be independent of a half-cup of brain matter? Isn?t it far more plausible to assume that, like everything else in the brain and body, such effects stem from biological action? -
Congrats on your site! If you write quality posts , you get more mycent and its probably why he got it in 50 posts. I got my hosting and domain when i reached around 120-150. And it took me 22 hours (i was checking almost every hour), it should take very fast, even in weekends and holidays (i don't know if they have the weekends off or not, its probably a shift, or they like to overwork )
-
Speak for yourself Nirmal, this isn't a freakin' 'Christian section' its the 'Spirituality section' , so its ALL religions and just christian. But anyway thats the topic i don;t like one bit, the newspaper is just making up something to make us all hate the Canadians or something! Seeing is believing !

It's a pain for me too, but I have it on my blog because I kept getting spam on a daily basis written in foreign languages. It was very annoying, so I turned back on word verification.I didn't realize it took people minutes to type a word ; ) and removed my "anti-captcha" security feature . . . I am now taking 30 seconds to come back and report that after a year-and-a-half of blogging without receiving spam comments, I find myself deleting several that have showed up in the past few days, and it's definitely taking me more than 30 seconds to do so.I will be reactivating my anti-captcha, with apologies to those who hate them, because it turns out that my time is as important as my commenters. I'm glad I turned it off, though, because I always wondered if it worked and now I know that anti-captcha does weed out the junk. They do take a lot of time. I understand the point of them, though.
-
I don't like those either. I know what you mean. I have a hard time reading some of them, which makes me feel like a kid learning to read or something.I get them wrong all the time.I had no idea my word verification was turned on until someone told me. Hopefully that is the case with other people and that is why we have to type all of those crazy words.I turned mine off and have not gotten any spam. I do have my comments set for my approval, which is so easy, and then you can delete the spam if you get any. My other blog is a Wordpress blog, and it has a built in spam trapper that works like magic.

Death On The Fast Track The Olympic player
deadmad7 replied to Jonnyabc's topic in General Discussion
I heard about it too, on the NBC news after a few hours though, they showed him going down the track and he was taking a turn and went kind of 'over' it and he died instantly, the sad part is that they showed it ALL on NBC , even when they performed CPR to his lifeless body! They showed a dead person getting cpr in national television to get some dam ratings! -
I really didn't find the point in making the movie, there was alot of hype for the movie, and they played the trailers over and over, but the movie was pretty much lame. They should've not even tried to make one, in my opinion. The story and everything just sucked but the acting was,umm, okay..? It wasn't the film i was expecting, thats probably why i write such a bad review about it. I think i thought it was going to be superb, and built up the level of it, thats probably why. Downey acting good, but i think he did a better job than the iron man movie('s' 2nd one is going to come out)
