General Discussion / Re: Windows Live Beta
Last post by Metgod - October 02, 2009, 09:52:56 AM
I figured I'd reply to a few posts while being here!

I don't actually use Live except in IE (so basically very rarely - pretty much only when I need to test IE compatibility as its 'standard' is worse than the others ... like opacity requiring a layout in order for it to work right. Ugh!).

But, on the note of the error: Since I don't use it, I can't recommend much, but have you tried clearing login info (session) and cache ?

Of course, I just realized you're using a program, haha. I was thinking you're referring to the website version. All I can say then, is: beta is always gonna have issues ... probably not too helpful, but maybe someone can help you out if you can get it to work (that is, not work) ..

And on that note, this reminds me of a time where I had to fix a mouse that supposedly didn't work but only happened when I wasn't there. And I think it was that same year (hmm, 1998 - 1999 ? around the time HFX was at excite if anyone remembers those days, haha! - Zero will.. Cobra will. obviously taz would.. don't know who else.. godaigo maybe ? can't remember when he joined in!). Anyway, as my current email quote says (something I said about 10-11 years ago I guess): "The problem is that which is between the keyboard and chair." And ya know, 95%+ of time, it's true!

Anyway, hope it's sorted out soon! Beta can be fun, but also very annoying (then again, so cany any software ...)

And note to self: it's a good thing I copy/pasted the text I wrote first, since I didn't expect to be on past 15 min, and I thusly logged on for 15 min only ...

Look who decided to drop by! Haha!

I don't know if / when I'll be back any time soon again, haha, but figured I'd say hey to everyone who remembers me ...

What's new.. hmm.. well:

Health is about same as I remember saying last (I think), maybe a bit better in some respects actually. I've done some writing (wrote about disabling 'live file system' in vista ...ie to enable mastered dvd/cd/bd burning as default, as well as how to fool windows resource protection [will give a cookie to the first one who figures out which was easiest!).

Of course, that writing is now irrelevant to me, since as of last night I'm on Win 7 (yes it's legit so shush!)!.

I'll be honest and say I had no qualms (or very little) with Vista after SP1, but Windows 7 is sweet! My favourite Linux these days (hey ben! look!) is Debian...

I've gotten into programming (again).. doing some java.. even made a skin for JAlbum, and working on another one.

Let's see.. music as always is on my agenda (that is collecting, concerts etc, not playing)... think I'm at 320GB of music now, haha.

Hmm, other than that.. just chat and so on and so forth.

How is everyone else ? :)) What's new ? :) Only one I"m still in contact with as of this date is Cobra .. so I have no idea what everyone else is up to!

Cheers!

General Discussion / What happened here?
Last post by elektrisk - September 23, 2009, 01:11:42 AM
Hello.

I just joined. I'm an active member of hackforums.net, and I joined this forum to see if I could expand my knowledge, but it seems that most sections, except for this one and some other "General Discussion" type boards are dead. I was about to reply to a topic in the Neophyte Discussion section, when I saw the warning that the last post was over 180 days old. I'm just curious, did the admin give up, or did the forum just lose its members? Don't take this offensively; I am genuinely concerned with what happened to the livelihood of the forum.

Web Languages / DSL
Last post by DoraPolo - September 16, 2009, 06:44:03 AM
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. xDSL refers to different variations of DSL, such as ADSL, HDSL, and RADSL. Assuming your home or small business is close enough to a telephone company central office that offers DSL service, you may be able to receive data at rates up to 6.1 megabits (millions of bits) per second (of a theoretical 8.448 megabits per second), enabling continuous transmission of motion video, audio, and even 3-D effects. More typically, individual connections will provide from 1.544 Mbps to 512 Kbps downstream and about 128 Kbps upstream. A DSL line can carry both data and voice signals and the data part of the line is continuously connected. DSL installations began in 1998 and will continue at a greatly increased pace through the next decade in a number of communities in the U.S. and elsewhere. Compaq, Intel, and Microsoft working with telephone companies have developed a standard and easier-to-install form of ADSL called G.lite that is accelerating deployment. DSL is expected to replace ISDN in many areas and to compete with the cable modem in bringing multimedia and 3-D to homes and small businesses.

Traditional phone service (sometimes called POTS for "plain old telephone service") connects your home or small business to a telephone company office over copper wires that are wound around each other and called twisted pair. Traditional phone service was created to let Web Design Firm exchange voice information with other phone users and the type of signal used for this kind of transmission is called an analog signal. An input device such as a phone set takes an acoustic signal (which is a natural analog signal) and converts it into an electrical equivalent in terms of volume (signal amplitude) and pitch (frequency of wave change). Since the telephone company's signaling is already set up for this analog wave transmission, it's easier for it to use that as the way to get information back and forth between your telephone and the telephone company. That's why your computer has to have a modem so that it can demodulate the analog signal and turn its values into the string of 0 and 1 value that is called digital information.

Because analog transmission only uses a small portion of the available amount of information that could be transmitted over copper wires, the maximum amount of data that you can receive using ordinary modems is about 56 Kbps (thousands of bits per second). (With ISDN, which one might think of as a limited precursor to DSL, you can receive up to 128 Kbps.) The ability of your computer to receive information is constrained by the fact that the telephone company filters information that arrives as digital data, puts it into analog form for your telephone line, and requires your modem to change it back into digital. In other words, the analog transmission between your home or business and the phone company is a bandwidth bottleneck.

Digital Subscriber Line is a technology that assumes digital data does not require change into analog form and back. Digital data is transmitted to your computer directly as digital data and this allows the phone company to use a much wider bandwidth for transmitting it to you. Meanwhile, if you choose, the signal can be separated so that some of the bandwidth is used to transmit an analog signal so that you can use your telephone and computer on the same line and at the same time.

Uh, that's an odd post. Are you a bot of some sort? I don't understand what the point of this post is...

General Discussion / Mozy Online Back-Up Problems
Last post by infomax467 - August 25, 2009, 04:38:24 PM
I installed MOZY FREE Backup software on my computer by following their instructions.
After installation, my computer kept freezing and then I got the Windows Blue Screen of Death!
Basically, MOZY FREE Backup CRASHED my computer.  I could not even do a system restore. I had to restore my computer from scratch.  I am still in the process of putting back all my programs and files, this is very time consuming.

Furthermore, after I backed up my files, I could not retrieve them using another computer. It kept telling me that I had to register and install MOZY Backup, it just would not retrieve my previous registration.
I am still not able to retrieve my files.  Luckily, I kept local backups on some DVD's. MOZY may be free, but there is always a catch.  Please be aware Mozy free backup could crash your computer?
Maybe that's how they get you; then they tell you have to purchase one of their plans???
FYI:  I have 2GB of RAM and a 2.0 GHz AMD processor and it still CRASHED it!

Last post by hasanfahad350 - August 24, 2009, 02:27:05 AM
I wonder if someone know from where I can get a business or personal web packages, email packages or domain registration at one place with smart utilities. Hosting Company must be in local Middle East countries.

I would appreciate if any one of you could be of my help.
