    Sony VAIO vs. HP

    My last two laptops were HPs and I've loved both of them. However, expect lots of crapware from an HP. Both of them had a bunch of programs that just waste space. That whole formatting the harddrive idea mentioned above isn't a bad one. On the plus side, my first HP laptop lasted 5 or 6 years...

    Server problems?

    I know it'll get thrown out there eventually, so here goes... keep in mind that this is a free server, and as such there are generally a whole lot more accounts per server than there would be on the paid side. I'm also using my free account here as a 'testing' site which will hopefully lead up...

    Can't replace images?

    no, unfortunately not. I refreshed the theme through the ACP several times. I think I'll spend some time fiddling with it later today and see if I get any better results. I'm still not sure if this is a phpBB thing or an x10 thing. We'll see.

    Can't replace images?

    yeah, that's why I double checked it in the file manager. I ended up with one tab showing the new image from the file manager and another tab with the forum open showing the old image. I had this same problem with non-forum related pages before the server moves / re-creating my account, but...

    Can't replace images?

    I did clear the browser cache, and tried accessing it on a different computer that hadn't visited that site before. The site is silentsoldiers.elementfx.com/forums in the upper left is the phpBB logo, where it should be a cropped picture of the US Flag. I replaced the actual file with another...

    Copyright Infringement

    If someone creates a website / product and decides to give it away for free, then that is there decision. They created it, and can therefore decide to give it away for free. A good example of this would be open source software like Firefox. Companies like Google and Mozilla are managing to be...

    Can't replace images?

    I uploaded a free forum script to my website, and then I overwrote their logo image with my own logo image. However, when I view my website I still see their logo image. I checked in the file manager, and when I 'view' the image, I see the new one, and I double checked that I replaced the...

    I got an email from the Deputy Minister of Mining

    umm... they did make a movie out of it. It was called 'Catch Me If You Can', with Leonard DiCaprio in it. Pretty good movie actually.

    Peta

    While I'm no big fan of PETA, I have to say that they serve a purpose in society. What I mean by this is that through their extreme methods and crazy sounding rantings, they occasionally do make good things happen. Animal testing, while still a problem, is a lot less of a problem than it used to...

    Abortion

    As a father, I disagree. That child is biologically made up of 50% material (chromosomes) that came from me. The other 50% came from my wife. If my wife were to make a decision that affected my daughter (such as abortion, but this could also apply to other decisions, such as discipline or...

    Speech Recognition Software

    I heard a rumor once of a web site where you can record yourself humming a part of a song and it will attempt to name the song and artist. If it doesn't exist yet it would certainly be a nice website to own...

    Backup Issues

    Thank you LadyAnna and MarKool for the help. I am now re-signed up and recreating what little I had before. If only my internet connection wasn't as slow as molasses, I'd be up and running... btw, you wouldn't be able to do something about that too, would you? ;)

    Do you believe in God?

    I know I'm a bit late in the discussion, and to be honest I skipped over pages 1 through 24 because I really don't have the three years it would likely take to read it (not to mention I'm afraid that the previous pages contain as much math as the previous two posts, in which case I'm plain...

    Backup Issues

    Out of curiousity, how will we know when all the disconnected accounts have been purged. I would like to start setting up my account again, but I'm not sure if the original has been purged yet and my support ticket is still open, which implies that it has not been purged yet. I don't want to...

    Domain Propagation, DOMAIN WRAPPER ERROR

    alid - I know that register.com says that any kind of changes can take from 24-48 hours, so it could be that yours is simply taking its time propogating. I've been lucky with them so far in that everything has been fairly quick for me, but I'm sure that's probably an exception and not the rule...

    Backup Issues

    stunna - it sounds more like your old hosting account will be deleted completely, and you will be able to create a new account to replace it. That way you can still use the same site name and re-upload all your files. In other words, those of us that were affected by this backup issue will be...

    What is your favorite type of Music?

    I tend to stick to Christian rock bands. Specifically I'm curious to hear the latest from Newsboys, because they just swapped out lead singers.

    Health Care

    I do think that something needs to be done about the healthcare issue. Don't get me wrong, I've been resourceful enough to always work in places that offered fairly reasonable healthcare (which is impressive considering that I've worked mostly retail). However, I know how hard I've been hit with...

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    I agree that Vista is better, but I've had a much better experience with memory usage. My laptop has 3GB of RAM, and Vista seems to take up about 1GB of memory. To be honest, Firefox has a bad tendency to use up the remainder, but that's only if I leave it running for two to three days at a time...

    (republicofkanto.exofire.net) Multiple problems

    I'm not sure about the cPanel login site, but on the www.x10hosting.com website, there is a 'forgot password' link underneath the 'login to account' button. As for the 500 errors, chances are they are either due to the current server upgrades or just random downtime on the server. A 500 error...
