  1. Sorry for not being clear in my topic above. I need javascript in a single post, not all of them. I cannot put it in the footer or the header because then it would become site-wide. Thank you so much for your help
  2. I was wondering if there was any way to embed some javascript code into a WordPress post? ?I try and put the code into my post but all that it does is display the code text. ?I tried to look for a plugin but I had no luck finding one.
  3. I was once a computer addict. I wasted all my junior high years on the computer. I was addicted to video games, chatting, etc. I was attached to the computer and know it or not, my attitude become more aggressive over time. I was completely ignorant of what was going around too. I did not listen to my body. I did not know if I was hungry until my parents told me to get off the computer. After I got off of the computer, I would start munching on snacks not knowingly. I did not notice this until a few weeks later when my parents saw that I was always hungry right after I went off the computer. I would eventually get a bladder problem because I never get up to use the restroom.It is different now for some reason. I can get off the computer whenever I want. I have had more self control than ever. I think the main reason for this is that I have gotten bored of all of the MMORPG's on the internet. I just can't DL one and play it for more than a few hours. I only go on the computer for about 1-2 hours now. On my "off time", I will usually be found at my friend's house or just out of the house in general. I started this transition ever since I have entered high school. I have been given more freedom so I take it and use it.I have learned a lot in the past years I was addicted to computers though. I learned a little bit of C++ and scripting languages like AutoIT3. When I was in fifth grade, I started hacking a game called Maplestory and in 6th grade, I developed my own script to hack Neopets. I learned to use it with my music in 7th and 8th grade when I used FL Studio and Cubase to record some of my music.The computer is still very distracting, however, even with my more improved "self-control". When I am doing homework, I always find a way to use the computer to help me complete my homework. I get no where with this. I always end up getting carried away on facebook or doing something else.I think the problem for most people is self-control. They can't get off the computer when they need to. Parents will limit the time on which their children will be allowed to be on the computer but once the kid moves out, parents will not be there anymore. Computers are fascinating and fun so people use them. I really think that it is also about the person's upbringing also. If kids are open to lots of outdoor and fun activities, they are less likely to become addicted to computers. This is why parents should be more lenient about letting their kid go to their friend's house or go out.
  4. "Yellow" and welcome to Xisto. I am sure you will find this place to your liking. The first things that you want to do here is sign up at the Xisto billing site so you can link your forum account to the billing account to start earning myCENT which can be used to purchase various hosting packages offered by Xisto. When you sign up at the Xisto billing site, make sure that you sign up with the same exact email address that you used to sign up at this forum. Without the same email address, the two accounts will not link. After you have signed up at Xisto billing, your accounts will link after you have made 5 quality posts. To earn myCENT, you basically need to stay active on this forum and post. When you post, myCENT is calculated by the quality of the post your make, not the quantity so don't think that if you make lots of bad posts you can earn myCENT quickly.Xisto has a large variety of different categories you can post in so I recommend that you pick out a few categories that you are interested in and follow them. ?You say that you are a Java developer. ?You can also sign up at a forum called Xisto and you can earn myCENT from both of these forums. ?If you do sign up there, you should remember to sign up with the same email address.Hope to see more of you here at Xisto!
  5. Thank you guys for confirming the 777 situation. I was wondering which file permission I should change this to. I am not very good with messing around with them so I need help.
  6. I think you want to turn this into a picture full of ascii letters. You can look up ascii converters on Google and eventually, you will find the one that you need.
  7. I am not really in much favor of this new feature that Google has created. This is another micro-blogging service like Twitter or Facebook. I would rather stick with twitter and facebook than use Buzz. I do not have many friends that use GMail so I find no use for it. I think it would be great for businesses and organizations. Members can post stuff, share, and give updates on what is going on. They should really add this to Google Apps.
  8. I was creating my .htaccess for my wordpress blog. ?From one source, I was told to make the file permissions 777. ?I did some extra research and found some article that said that 777 file permissions were very dangerous and can make your site vulnerable to hacker attacks. ?I was wondering I should leave my .htaccess at 777 or change the permissions to some other value.Thanks for your time!
  9. Hello Steve. Xisto IS the best free webhost. You basically post on these forums and earn a virtual currency called myCENT. To start earning some myCENT, you need to sign up on Xisto billing with the SAME email address that you used to sign up for Xisto. After you have made five quality posts on this forum, your two accounts should link and you should see a myCENT thingy under your name. Be sure to read the rules and terms of the forum to avoid receiving any warnings or negative myCENT. Once you have gained 100 myCENT, $1 USD will be credited to your billing account where you can purchase hosting packages for your website. Xisto provides quality hosting with great uptime and customer service. Customer Service replies to your tickets very quickly too.Hope you enjoy it here at Xisto.
  10. Haha, this reminds me of the facebook group that I have joined a few months ago: "On 1/1/2013, I will watch 2012 and laugh." The world is not really going to end in 2012. It is just a prediction made thousands of years ago. Indeed, the Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012. This is just like how the calendars on your wall end on December 31. I bet that the Mayans ended the calendar on December 21, 2012 because a Winter Solstice takes place and it marks the completion of a "great cycle" of thirteen b'ak'tuns (periods of 144,000 days each). Again, this is probably another Y2K or the 6/6/06 incident when everyone was freaking out.
  11. A few days ago, my friend and I were talking about InfoLinks and Kontera. ?We were looking on their websites and found out that before you can get your first payment, you need to send in a Tax ID Form. ?I noticed that this is only required for people living in the United States. ?Is it possible to change your country during registration to avoid having to send in tax forms? ?If you have a U.S. paypal account, will they bounce the payment?Thanks for you help!
  12. Welcome to Xisto. I am also from Earth. I agree with fermin25. You should never copy and paste an article onto Xisto. Consequences will not be very helpful. To prevent getting negative myCENT or warnings or even getting banned, be sure to read the forum rules and terms. You can find the link to the rules and terms on the sidebar on the forum homepage. Usually, moderators will be lenient about your mistake the first time you commit it but try not to forget the rules. After you have signed up for both your forum account AND the xisto billing account with the SAME email address, the accounts will link. You should have made five quality posts before the myCENT will show on your account. Everytime you earn 100 myCENT, $1 USD will be deposited into your billing account for hosting packages and you will be notified via email.
  13. I believe that such things as lightsabers will be developed but I don't think that they will look like what the lightsabers look like the the Star Wars movies. The light sabers might look different and will probably not have the sound effects on them.The physics behind the lightsaber: you could read all of the other posts about physics and chemistry of the lightsaber or... you can just accept that the physics of the lightsaber hides in Adobe After Effects.
  14. Let us enter my fantasy world for a few minutes.? Let think about what lies beyond the solar system right now.? Let us not think about hate comments after reading this.? Think about these following questions in your head.? After the questions, I will give my own opinion about each of the questions.? Do you believe in life existing beyond our solar system?? I believe that there is life that is found in other solar systems.? The universe is a pretty large and I bet that there are tons of different life forms everywhere.? Some are probably thinking the same questions that we are thinking.? Maybe some of the other life forms have discovered each other. How intelligent do you think the life forms are? Do you think that they are smarter or dumber?? I believe that some life can be smarter than us humans but most of the other life forms are probably dumb.? As in dumb, I mean illiterate, ignorant, etc.? Sort of like sheep.? Maybe some life forms out there have developed technology that you have seen in Star Trek or something.? What if someone is looking at Planet Earth through some advanced telescope? Do you think that someday, we will be able to meet some other life forms?? I do not think that we will be able to encounter them in this generation but maybe in later generations.? They may not greet us nicely.? They might throw a full invasion on us unexpectedly or have them wipe us out in a few seconds.? Maybe someday, a UFO will come falling down and see one of these.? Do you believe that humans will ever befriend any of these life forms? Do you think that humans will be able to inhabit other planets such as Venus or Mars?? Sooner or later, the human population will grow so much that the Earth will not provide enough space for the population.? The human population is growing exponentially whether we know it or not.? Around 1750, the Earth had about one billion people on this earth.? By the year 2050, we expect to have around ten billion humans walking around everywhere.? We are also depleting our resources rapidly. Do you think that humans could develop some type of device to generate resources? How big could other life forms be?? Could they be as large as dinosaurs or small like flies?? What if those life forms were even larger than dinosaurs? Do you think that there are such things as wormholes that can make space travel faster?? I bet that it would be extremely dangerous.? Do you think that wormholes could provide ways of time travel?? There may be such thing as a fourth dimension.? Possibly a fifth or sixth.? The universe is extremely big.? The universe measures billions/trillions of light years.? Maybe the universe is infinite.? Who knows?? Could there be no end to the universe?? We live in the Milky Way galaxy.? The milky way galaxy is extremely large and could take light 100,000 years to travel through it.? The solar system is a microscopic spec when looking at the milky way.? Also, there are millions and trillions of galaxies existing throughout the universe. I want to hear your ideas on this subject.? What do you think about this.? Do you think any of this is possible?? Do you think I am crazy?
  15. I do not believe that robots and humans will ever marry each other. It is not normal. Robots can not have feelings built into them because it is impossible. They can be built to look like a human, talk somewhat like one, but they do not have the traits of a human. Humans can touch, feel, etc. If a robot steps on a needle, it doesn't yelp. I doubt that it will do anything. The robot can be programmed to say something after an event has happened but that would make the robot fake. I doubt that robots will ever be able to love anyone and I doubt that they ever will be able to. They can say affectionate things like "I love you" but it does not have the same effect that a human saying it would. The only people marrying robots would probably be loners who can't find anyone to love. I do agree that robots can be used for pleasure however. There are many robots existing today that already do this. I just don't think that robots and humans will ever be able to fall for each other.
