MediaXSolutions.com

So I did a bit of research the other day and found the most affordable IT solutions around. MediaXSolutions.com has packages for everything! mediaxsolutions.com has cheap prices on Web-hosting, Dedicated Servers, Data back up and even a bunch of great reseller packages.

I think that the coolest part about www.mediaxsolutions.com is that everything they have is affordable and reliable.

mediaxsolutions.com had the one thing I was looking for most. A reliable yet affordable Dedicated server package. I was able to get a Dedicated server for around 50 dollars a month! Not only is that the cheapest prices around for Dedicated servers, the server they setup for me was online fast!

Check out our next post when We list all the services and prices for www.mediaxsolutions.com

Big Corporations remind me of Higschoolers

So Ive been recently told about a little issue that AOL has been having with a small group of people who have created a program that allows the combination of AIM,Yahoo,Msn,Jabber, and a few other chat messengers, All in one single program.

The group of developers created this application and named it "Gaim" While this stood for "GTK + AOL Instant Messenger" there is where my point leads me to. Although this name closely resembles the name "AIM" the application "Gaim" was created before AOL ever started calling their service "AIM".

Big Corporations remind me of High school students. They nag, complain, and do anything to make someone else's life a living hell. I support open source developing, and in doing so beleive that just because a name is like another, Doesn't mean they are trying to steal your work.

How often do you go to a computer store and see off brand products using things like "I " when they have absolutely no relevance to APPLE. They are merely item's for the product they put out called "IPOD" This is nothing different from this situation. AOL put out a product called "AOL Instant Messegner". "Gaim" is a off brand of "AIM".

Do you catch my drift here? Not only was "Gaim" around before the name "AIM" but "Gaim" is an open source project. Which means they the developers are not making anymoney from people using the product.

Rome: Total War

What is Rome: Total War?

Rome: Total War is a RTS (real time strategy) which is taken to the next step. Setup like a board game, you build up your army, control and build city's, and create and destroy allies.

Where the real fun comes in, is when it's time to battle. you can take the easy way out by clicking the "Automatically resolve battle" Which jumps through the battle doing all the work for you. Or my personal favorite, is fighting the battle your self.

When you get into the start of the battle, your leader gives your troops a small pep talk, getting them riled up and ready to fight. The higher your leaders skill, the more energy they get, and the better they will fight. Once you listen to his pep talk (or after skipping the cut scene) you can choose to wait(for conditions to get better) or setup your army into a different formation. After your done with that, click the start button will hop you into battle. From there, what happens on the battle field is determined by you.

Game modes

There are a couple of game modes you can play on. After doing the tutorial you can choose from a few game modes. Your can start your campaign to take over all the land of Rome. Play a Historical battle, where you are playing a pre-arraigned battle based on historical battles. Or you can play Custom Battle. Which allows you to setup the battle field, The number of units, number of upgrades, Etc.
