Reply to Who is offering the best free web hosting? in Websites WinCustomize Forums

I think it depends on what your actually trying to do with your website, how many people will be on it, how much interaction you want, and so forth. If its a profesional site, then spending money is the only real way of doing it. How much is what will be in question. If it is a personal site, then it depends on how much interaction you will have on your site, and so forth that will determain whether or not you will be able to have a free sit

Reply to Wincustomize: Nasty Pop-Ups Continuing in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This again? The only timess I ever had a pop up on WC was when I had somethingon my computer. That reminds me, recently I got a pop up (wasn't signed in) while one Netscape (of which in itself seems funny cause it has a pop up blockers too). I don't remember what site I came from, though... Oh well. Besides, pop-ups are so lame. Its cheap quick money, but in the long run (long run meaning more than 3 mo

Reply to NEW Credit Card Scam: Deals with last 3 digits of your card. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I think the idea about using the 3 digit pin is so that the card doesn't get shut down to quickly. Yeah, with name and address already at hand along with the credit card number (you might not even need the persons address), purchases can be made a many sites. But with the 3 diggit number at your disposal, now you might have the posibility of shopping on more sites and buy bigger things and do it without tipping off the credit card

Reply to DX Is Better Than Litestep in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

There are many threads in this forum regarding this subject. I am well aware of what Litestep is and what DX is. Which, of course, doesn't answer the question. Why should I, for example, use Litestep Antares over DX Antares? I guess I don't get the question then unless it specifically has to do

NEW Credit Card Scam: Deals with last 3 digits of your card. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I don't know if you heard of this one, but its new to me and I would think, quite frankly, a very useable scam indeed. Here is the lowdown: (Its for the US but I am sure it can happen elsewhere) WARNING...New Credit Card Scam. Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll

Reply to Opera vs. FireFox redux in Internet WinCustomize Forums

I'm not really sure what all the buzz is about with tabbed browsing. You either have a bunch of tabs, or you have a bunch of tasks in the taskbar. What's the difference? With a little tweaking I've been able to surf with 20+ windows open in IE. AND a download or five. You have got to be kidding

Reply to DX Is Better Than Litestep in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Honestly I don't think they can be compaired. Litestep is a shell replacement and DesktopX does not do that at all. A better compairison would be Litestep to Aston Shell. The closest thing to Desktop X is something... I can't remember the name... I think its on Deviant Art and then Konfabulator (and I am not really sure if Konfabulator can be directly compaired either but it comes close to DX in widget making but not desktop repla

Reply to Opera vs. FireFox redux in Internet WinCustomize Forums

I say Opera is the better bowser, but I just like FireFox more. The extentions is just what I need (for Opera it just doesn't seem right) and just seems to smooth. Opera has the smaler footprint and is really a good choice for a browser. Maybe if I had Opera first... naaa I still would like FireFox more. I really don't know why.

Reply to Why can't they make cases like this? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

For me the real issue is design. I can care less about a HALO2 related computer. The thing is basically is tht it can be done so why don't they do it? I'll admit Dell's black on gray with its smilie face thingy seems nice. I just think it can be more cutting egde... heck, not even cutting edge, just more designed. Have you guys seen the Dell XPS? Ghaaaaa...

Why can't they make cases like this? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I have always wondered since I have seen the new iMac that why does PC cases have to be so boring. many manerfacturers act like they just can't come up with a design that will fit in the office and living room. Sorry, I don't want a square box case with wood paneling... I don't call that design. But the link I saw on Digg.com is something more to the point. MAKE THAT PLEASE!!!
