I support gay marriages. If people have problems with the term "marriage," fine, from a *legal* (government) point of view, let's just not use the term "marriage" at all anymore and find a new term (like "civil union," but right now legally "civil union" isn't the same as "marriage" in most...

rahulkharti -- The problem in India, I'm told, is that the government is pretty corrupt. Yeah, it's a democracy, but it's just a given that money can easily "buy" politicians, police can be bribed to "look the other way," etc. Of course, this happens in the U.S. as well, but it's not quite as...

idfizbo is right... the meaning of life is just what you give it. Do the things that make you happy, but be sure to reflect occasionally on how your actions towards others might, in the long run, make you happy as well. I.e., donate to causes you believe in, help others the way you'd like to...

Frankfriend -- Different firms still pay different "bonuses," but you're correct that it's pretty silly to call it a "bonus" when pretty much everyone does it and it's not really a "bonus" in the "usual" meaning of the word at all. I'm told there might be some tax advantages to compensating...

I agree with LiveWire... unless you start installing "CPU intensive" server applications like MySQL or PHP or somesuch on your PC, the hard drive will most likely be the limiting factor and either CPU will be unlikely to hit even 10% CPU utilization. In terms of raw performance (e.g., an...

I agree with Chingola... what it's worth has a lot to do with who you're selling it to -- and how much time and effort you're willing to put into selling it. If you sell it on eBay, you won't get much money (looks like they're going for ~$350), but it's a fast and easy transaction. If you sell...

You've gotten some good replies here, but I'll also add: -- The contemporary idea with web pages is that HTML is used for the "substance" or content of your web page and CSS is used for the "style" or layout. This is kind of the difference between something like MS Word and LaTeX: The way most...

I'm certain we won't be going back to the gold standard... ever. While Obama and his cronies are creating unprecendented amounts of debt right now, keep in mind that the U.S.'s debt as a portion of GDP is still lower than any other big country. So while it's true we're spending our great...

Excuse my ignorance here, but what do these sorts of companies require you to do with the posts you make? Just include a link back to them in your signature or somesuch? (In other words, why are these companies willing to pay any money just to have your make posts?)

http://showmedo.com has many really good videos... although only some of them are free. (The subscription to get to everything is $60/yr, which is still an incredibly good deal if you have the money.) Perhaps try these for C++??? -->...

There are actually some very clever methods to somewhat reduce the time needed to determine whether or not a number is prime, although understanding how some of them actually work requires an upper-class college or graduate level mathematics background. I agree, if you're just trying to learn...

In that case, you can use programs such as py2exe (http://www.py2exe.org/), which essentially builds an executable "wrapper" around your Python code -- internally it's still the Python interpreter running your Python byte code, but people can run your program without needing the regular Python...

Definitely open a support ticket and ask them what's up... ...or just try to sign up again; if x10 doesn't think the (sub-) domain name is taken, clearly your original request was lost in the shuffle somewhere.

Well, OK, it's fair to say that x10hosting isn't 100% free then -- there is the "cost" to log into the forums every two weeks. I think they're generally as reliable as any other free service out there (not that I've tried that many). In general any paid service (including those of x10 itself)...

You don't even need ads anymore. And it's all of something like $3 to avoid having to login for a year. I realize that even $3 is a fair amount of money for some people, but in that case... well, having to visit the "user community" here every couple of weeks as "payment" for otherwise free...

Well, you can start by doing the same thing that, e.g., x10hosting here does... get your a Linux box, get it configured properly to support multiple users, and then run Horde or Squirrelmail on top of Apache to get the web interface going. One high-end machine probably suffices for some...

There are relatively few "true" Python compilers out there ("true" in the sense that they take Python in and generate x86 [or whatever] code directly as the output). This is probably due to the design of Python, which generally supports much better approaches to solving the problems that...

I was curious... Just having a parked domain or add-on domain doesn't *directly* cause any more load on the servers, does it? (I mean, isn't it just a handful of lines in a configuration file somewhere to add one?) Are the number or parked or add-on domains you can have limited based on the...

Are there any particularadvantages or disadvantages to creating subdomains (e.g., blackcat.myhost.x10hosting.com) vs. just creating subdirectories (e.g., myhost.x10hosting.com/blackcat) ? I suppose a subdomain is easier to link to a new home directory, whereas with a subdirectory the name is...

Same here -- I received an e-mail this morning that my free hosting has been activated. Woo hoo! Thanks, x10hosting! The total wait was around a week. ---Joel
