  1. It'll be a real TLD. You won't have total control as it can only be used with a HelioNet account. The amount of Helions you have is under your name in a post.
  2. File storage. I've ran out of space several times by just holding images and my 3D models.
  3. No, the rock is growing 'hair'. There's a trick to doing it.
  4. Not unless djbob is willing to pay a premium every month on top of the server charges.
  5. You're not Blizzard, don't act like you know it. The Protoss are the only ones with a super weapon announced.
  6. You can build motherships. They're insanely expensive and you can only have one.
  7. Says who? 'Cuz all you needed to do to win was max out on those :/
  8. Why would it be true? The 360 doesn't even have a Blu-ray reader. The 360 uses standard DVDs.
  9. Starcraft was already pretty balanced compared to other RTS games. I didn't expect it to be released this year. The game looks like it's built for currently new technology, so it would be a while before most PCs could handle it anways.
  10. Windows XP Pro has that Remote Desktop thing. If you don't have that, then you could set up a VNC server and do it that way instead.
  11. There are still ways around that. The best security against pirates that I've seen is a hardware key that plugs into a USB port. You can't serial or keygen that.
  12. Wrong. Security-wise, Linux is a powerhouse. Don't say that no one uses it. The majority of webservers run Linux and that's what Linux was designed for. Linux is more than mainstream for the internet world, it's the lifeblood of it. We just don't notice it. What do you think Helionet is on? Microsoft Windows Server 2003? Hardly. Linux has been the target of web hackers for ages ever since it started out and gained. However, it still stands strong as one of the most stable and secure servers. Why? It was built for security, and in the rare case a threat surfaces, it's quickly fixed. You don't hear things all over Digg about how a Linux server was haxxored do you? What you guys need to realise is how popular and main-stream Linux is, not as a desktop, but as a server. On the user side, Linux benefits from being built a server OS and so does Mac for using FreeBSD as their core. Everything is run in user-mode (as does Vista). The only way a virus could even have a chance of doing damage is to do it in a root account. Therefore, a virus that auto-executes (doesn't happen in Vista, but those below Vista), even if possible, can't do too much harm. I'm not saying that it's invulnerable, I'm saying that as a desktop OS, it's already well-equipped as far as security goes.
  13. Depends on the program. Some are faster, some are slower. Only one program holds me back from only having ArchLinux on my box, rather than dual booting Windows.
  14. Dell's Ubuntu desktops/laptops aren't that much cheaper than Windows desktops/laptops. They're using the extra money to contribute to open source projects. My main quip about Ubuntu, is that you'll most likely break your system in an upgrade and that it's easier just to reinstall the system. No point in that.
  15. And so it begins. I believed for a while now, that all Linux needs is a company to be behind it and distribute. Most people don't know what Linux is, or can't even install an OS. Ubuntu PCs will probably be cheaper, 'cuz there are no licensing costs. This gets the Linux name out there in the general market, rather than just for the computer elite. If more companies follow suit, Linux will actually start to eat up Microsoft's market share and even Mac's. On top of that, any company serious in distributing Ubuntu, like Dell is, will help open source projects along by providing help from their own corporation.
  16. Debian Etch is known for it's stability. Slackware would be another good choice for a Server OS.
  17. My favorite is http://www.lifelesspeople.com They're tough on spam, grammar, spelling, etc. and they're incredibly reliable compared to hosts that shalt not be named.
  18. They've improved Google Video more than Youtube. Why? No one knows. It's possible that they're going to merge Youtube into Google Video.
  19. CentOS is fine, I guess. http://www.ubuntu.org
  20. Google Video has more advanced options, and the videos there are usually of better quality.
  21. Old news? YouTube's improved since Google took it over.
  22. Macs are just 'FreeBSDs for Dummies' x86 = Normal 32bit processor, x86_64 = 64bit processor, PPC = Mac. A Google search woulda told you that :/ In Ubuntu, you can basically just click the 'Next' button in the GUI installer all the way through. Fedora requires more, though you still don't have to be very smart to finish the installation, just some common sense. KDE is more resource-consuming, though it's more functional and looks better. GNOME is designed for the less knowledgeable people.
  23. 1. Yes, thorugh cPanel 2. Yes, you can 3. Sure 4. 250MB space is the most
  24. Heh, it should be a few more years before IE8 comes out. Anyways, if that's true, not only regular joes like us will be pissed, big corporations will be as well. Google's ad service uses iframes and many Web 2.0 services use iframes to keep the back button from breaking.
