Barry C did a good job of pointing out the ethics involved in doing each other's homework but he didn't have to be a dick about it. Smarty Pants should always at least head the opposer in the direction of a legal site that can solve the problem ethically.

Statistically speaking, (c) is most often the right answer.



But in your case? It may be, it may not be.
homework section is over thattaway --%26gt;



this is the ethics section and it is neither ethical for you to ask us to do your homework nor ethical for us to give you the answers and leave you uneducated.



Now if you were to write at least 3 paragraphs on each question explaining what your best guess is and where you are hitting a stumbling block in your understanding, it would be ethical of us to point you in the right direction.

Internet Marketing Ideas?

I own a small internet web maternity clothing shop. www.hautemamacouture.com I get almost no business to it at all. I tried paying for advertising with search engines but I had too small a budget (spent $100 on 4 different engines/month). I also have the same items in a store on eBay. That's where I make 99% of my money. However, with their recent announcements of fee increases, they should just change their name to FeeBay and their changes to the feedback policy that will not allow a seller to leave negative when warranted, I can no longer afford to do business on there. I spend about $500-$1,000 in eBay fees a month but I make about $4,000 a month. How can I shift some of this around to promote my website. I am on a very limited budget and have no idea how to get people to go to this website and buy. Thanks!

Hi April,



I've done a quick check on your incoming links, there were none. To have a great SEO score link building must be top priority for you. Rather have less quality incoming links than many lower ranked links.



Although not true SEO, a blog is highly recommended to achieve high traffic. A blog is great to build a brand, it may not result in instant sales but it sure will indirectly. Once you've begun a blog you can then submit it to several social bookmarking websites that will increase your traffic even further.



I've compared your site to your competitors and their websites have good keyword density, meta tags (not to important), incoming links. Your goal should be to match these sites and you'll soon be receiving targeted traffic.



If done properly SEO can be managed with a small budget.

Hi - Im a marketing professional who can help you with general marketing, brand, pr and online marketing. Check out my company website to see all the marketing tactics we cover: www.mktg.com.au



All the contact details are on the website, prices are determined on each project. I know you will love what we can do for you.



MKTG Marketing: www.mktg.com.au
I looked at your website and here are my comments:



1. Change your metatag title to %26quot;Haute Mama Couture: Trendy Maternity Wear %26amp; Apparel%26quot; . You need to have the most important keywords on the title -- %26quot;maternity wear%26quot; and %26quot;maternity apparel%26quot;



2. Put an intro paragraph in your homepage. Having an intro paragraph placed above the fold will let people know what your site is all about -- and gives search engines more text to chew on



3. Lose the gigantic picture graphic on your page. Cartoons does nothing to your sales. You need to showcase your products



Look at the Pea in a Pod website http://www.apeainthepod.com -- up front is a gorgeous pregnant woman wearing one of the items for sale. If you can't get a model to put in your page, at least show the clothes immediately. Right now I have to scroll down to see your product offerings



4. Your Promotional Discounts should be right there up front and center. Look at Pea in a Pod -- their $6 shipping is at the very top of the homepage. LL Bean has their promotional discount at the bottom of the homepage -- but it is still in the homepage http://www.llbean.com/



There's two things you need to do:



- get the TARGETED traffic or pregnant women to come visit your site

- make sure that you CONVERT the visitors and turn them into buyers
http://www.adgridwork.com/

This website is great for web advertising. It's a free targeted advertising (based on you selecting various categories you would like to be included in) and link exchange network. You put other websites text ads on your page and yours appears on others. And it really is 100% free, forever. While it's not something that guarantees traffic it also doesn't cost anything, so why not try it?



Good luck!
I have a friend who just started a new advertising site.

It offers free advertising for those who want to promote something on the internet.

All you have to do to promote there is to offer something for free, even free advice if you don't have any other free samples.

It is at; http://something4nothing.tripod.com and I will tell him to watch for you, as you have a decent, quality site, very much the kind he wants to add.
Hello April,

I think you should decide your monthly budget you intend to invest in SEO and Internet marketing every month, considering your current financial situation. You should also look at the whole situation as an investment in a new way of service/selling - direct by you, not indirect by eBay. There is no doubt, that your past approach to Internet marketing was not the right one and you should change it fundamentally. It is like to buy a new tool/knowledge for your work. The fact is, that you want to become an independent shop/seller and get rid of eBay.



This 'department' and its skills are far too vast to be described properly, here. You are not an expert in this field and don't bother about that fact, too much.

One needs to be pragmatic, when it comes to solving your problem.

Visit www.elance.com and surf a bit around the site to get more feeling about different services they have on offer, there.

Describe your project/problem and exactly what do you want to achieve. Set a fixed monthly budget on a long term basis (at least 3months, better more) and place a project, there, which is free of charge.

Wait a few days and you are going to get many different offers with exact explanations of what and how to do by many professionals. In your judgment/selecting process you could advise more people, similar as your current Yahoo question, also on-line and free of charge.



As a beginner in the field of Internet marketing (IM), there is nothing better to obtain basic knowledge and understanding of this profession, than Thirty Day Challenge of Ed Dale and Dan Raine, which is happening every August and is free of charge. But, you don't need to wait till August, because everything is so well recorded, condensed and neatly presented on www.thirtydaychallenge.com Just register there and start to explore. Every day you'll know more and more.

Good luck,

adam



P.S.

There is also a real pearl about eBay selling in 30DC, too, absolutely free of charge.

P.P.S.

Do not hesitate to contact me directly, if you need any help considering writing 'a project' to post on elance or anything about 30DC.

Small business - cancellation of service rights?

I have just started 5 year contract with bt business. after ten days the service they have provided is horribly affecting my small business as I am getting up to 20 calls asking for the pervious company which owned my new number, fair enough it is not bt fault as i choose the number out of the 5 given choices. BT advise me that the calls will die out in a week or two.



But I found out that the number is advertised all over the internet and I told BT this and they said nothing they can do but change my number. I requested for a number change but bt advised that it would cost 拢30 but I will be unable to choose the new number. I stated that if the same problem was to arise again with the changed number would i be able to get it change again.



BT said yes but with another charge of 拢30. This seems really unfair as they also refuse to give me information of the phone number history. Which I only ask for to avoid getting 20 unwanted calls a day.



I requested for them to cancel the contract which BT replied %26quot;you will have to pay a large fee and 20% of the remaining of contract!%26quot;



I only agreed to five years because the sales person said my business will benifit more on the 5 years rather then the 2 years. I have only used them for 10 days.

Asked to speak with manger and got refused 3 times with lame excuses.



Please advise if there is anyways around this that I can get a number changed as a good will gesture or better even to cancel the bt service as I am not happy at all with BT.



thanks in advance
Small business - cancellation of service rights?
More fool you for getting into a 5 year contract but that aside.

Write to the head of customer services and explain the situation.

It is not their problem as such but if it is causing your business a great deal of trouble then they may waive the charges for changing the number.



It is a risk you run with any supplier, as there are very few numbers which have not been used previously.



If you read your contract you will see that there are clauses in there about early cancellations and they can be very expensive especially on 5 year terms.




Small business - cancellation of service rights?
Go to the top in BT. We had problems with them a couple of years ago and went to the chairman's office with our complaint. They allocate a named person to deal with your issue and you stick with it until you get it satisfactorily resolved.



Unfortunately, they do charge a penalty for terminating your contract early. Although you may have to pay more initially, it's worth going for a shorter contract. (That's no use to you now.)



If you send me a message I can put you in touch with someone who has done a lot for us with our telephone needs. He's not BT and can advise on ways out of your present situation better than I can.



Good luck!

Internet programming or database admin?

I am trying to determine which of these career paths has better potential in terms of future growth and job availability. I am thinking of taking a career certificate course in community college and need some guidance before I make my decision. I am in my early thirties and have discovered I need a career change. It would be great if someone could also tell me what it's like to work in these professions.



My background is in business administration and have been working in accounting for the last 3 years but this is not what I want to do. Appreciate your help!
Internet programming or database admin?
Agreed, you'll find more work and better opportunities as a DBA than a PHP programmer or the like.

  • FiOS Internet: Upgrading to Plan With Server Hosting Allowed?

    So, after using shared hosting for my websites for a while, I thought that I'd try out hosting my own server with an extra desktop.



    I'm currently using the 15/5 FiOS residential internet plan, and the TOS for the plan doesn't allow server hosting, plus they block port 80, ect.



    So, I'm thinking of upgrading to a FiOS business plan, which apparently does allow server hosting.



    I'm wondering...

    1. What FiOS plans allow server hosting?

    2. What would upgrading from my current residential plan to another plan (possible a better connection %26amp; it being a business plan) entail? As in would it take a physical change to my setup / router, or would I just have to order it online, and the changes would just take place?

    Why do I lose internet connection when I hook up my new router?

    I got a new router yesterday. Following the setup instructions on the CD included, everything goes great until I actually hook up the router. As soon as it's hooked up, I lose internet connection. Also, my IP address and other info changes when they router is hooked up so I have to manually type in all of the changed info. After I do, it tells me the router is not responding to the program but all of the cables are connected properly. It says this can be causes by firewalls or antivirus programs, but I turned everything off. As soon as I unhook the router, I get internet connection back. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?



    I spent over 5 hours on the phone yesterday with Dell and Comcast trying to figure this out and got absolutely nowhere. I'd really appreciate any help at all. If it makes any difference, this is the router: http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/p鈥?/a>
    Why do I lose internet connection when I hook up my new router?
    While I'm not implicitly familiar with that router, my suggestion is this:

    1. Unplug power from the modem (pull out the backup battery if it has one)

    2. Hard reset the router (there should be a button you need a pin to push)

    3. Unplug power from the router

    4. Shut down your PC.

    5. Take the cable that goes from the modem to your PC and connect it to the router's %26quot;internet%26quot; or %26quot;lan%26quot; port.

    6. Take another cat 5 (may want to test it, verify going from modem to pc with it works) and connect one of the wan ports to your computer (these may just be numbered on the router)

    7. Power on the modem (put in the battery and then plug it in) - let it go through it's startup process (lights on, off, blinking, then internet should go relatively solid)

    8. Plug in router - give it a good 30 - 45 seconds, you should see an internet light on there as well

    9. Power on computer



    Once the computer finishes booting, see if you have connectivity. If you don't, start %26gt; run %26gt; ipconfig - see if you are getting an IP address. If you are, try typing ping and then the address showing for the default gateway (that will be your router) - if this works, then you know the problem exists between the modem and the router, not between your PC and the router.



    Best of luck!

    What steps are you taking to decrease your gasoline use?

    No, I can't afford (or can't fit in) a brand new or used fuel efficient car. I've eliminated most driving (luckily most of my business is internet based) and changed my grass mowing to every 10 days.



    But what else can be done to decrease gas use? Any tricks or methods you uses?
    What steps are you taking to decrease your gasoline use?
    1. I don't use a car when I don't have distances greater than 2 miles to cover on a commute (Use a bicycle or walk) Or carry a load isn't heavy for a great distance.



    2. I try to avoid revving my car's engine higher than 2 to 2.5 on the meter of RPMs. When the RPMs get very high, your car's gas mileage is LOW compared to what it can normally be. Avoiding high RPMs means not accelerating the car drastically or going high above the posted speed limit.



    3. I keep my foot off the gas when I know I'm coming up on a stop or an intersection some distance ahead. Coasting saves gas as you are not accelerating or braking hard.



    4. When I know the car will be stopped for more than two minutes, I don't let it idle,or keep running while parked. Precious gas is being spent while the engine idles.



    5. I use cruise control on level highways, the car's systems often more delicately control the car's acceleration, and therefore lower RPMs.



    6. Maintain the aerodynamics of your car, because good aerodynamics decreases the effort that your engine must make to push the car along, and therefore reduces the rate at which it guzzles gas. Air Conditioning and Stickers are to be preferred above Open Windows and Waving streamers, flags, and other decorations for this reason.

    Cruise control is a divice near your engine that uses exta gas to make it run. Same with your air conditioner. Turning your engine on and off waste more gas then letting it run idle for less then 5 min...

    When driving anticipate stops and coast as much as possible. Remember whenever your foot is on the gas OR the brake, you're using more gas. 55 may be a little slow for safety on some highways, but definitely keep it at or below the posted speed limit. Your fuel economy actually decreases exponentially with speed at highway speeds.
    Gary, sell the gas mower! They're noisy and they smell and who needs 'em?



    I had some time to kill after work the other day. I didn't have time to come home and get back, and every place I could have driven would have taken up time and gas, so I walked. About 4 miles, actually. Good cardio exercise, which I don't get when I walk the dog, and it was along a natural area, so it was relaxing, too. Walking saves a lot of gas and is good for you, too.



    Don't forget to check into the electric mowers. We've had one for 9 years now and we love it.
    lots of stuff



    buy a reel mower if you have a lawn



    when you do drive-- run all the errands at once



    make right hand turns as much as possible



    use mass transit



    make sure your tires are inflated to the correct pressure



    don't drive faster than 55



    look around the place and quit using machines that use gas that have a manual method-- like edge trimmers- use garden scissors instead



    nix the snowblower, use a shovel



    tune up your car



    use charcoal instead of propane



    walk

    Can I transfer a domain name hosted by another Internet company to Yahoo?

    I registered a domain name for my wife's business through Networksolutions.com and they are %26quot;hosting%26quot; it -meaning I have to pay them every year and I have to go through them in order to change anyting. Can I somehow switch this name to Yahoo and have Yahoo maintain the name, etc???
    Can I transfer a domain name hosted by another Internet company to Yahoo?
    Yes. You can transfer your domain name from one registrar to another. But before you initiate the transfer you need to unlock your domain name in case networksolutions.com have locked it for you. By the way locking a domain name is for your own safety since none other than you can transfer your domain.

    Before you transfer your domain name, let me tell you it is always best to Register domain name with one company and host your site with another company.

    To transfer your domain to yahoo, first login to your networksolutions.com control panel. Check if your domain name is locked. If locked, unlock your domain name first. Then go to your new domain name registrar and choose transfer domain name. I am not sure if yahoo is doing this. But there are lot of reliable domain registrars service providers out there to where you can transfer your domain.

    How do I deal with this unprofessional situation with a business owner?

    I went to a local printing company today. I bought my Internet time up front and then printed 3 pages (@ 25 cents a page).

    I gave the owner $1.00 to pay for my printed pages. He told me he did not have enough change to give me the 25 cents he owed me. He asked me if I had exact change and I didn't. So he only gave me back 20 cents. He then said I needed to go out and get change if I wanted what was owed to me or collect my 5 cents another day when he had it. I responded that was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard and if he's running a business, then he's supposed to have change to give back to customers.



    He then got really nasty and told me that I don't deserve to use his computers in his store (the ones I paid to use as a customer btw). After that he somehow found the exact change to give me. I told him I would never come back (I've done copies and faxes there before btw) as his Internet service was inferior anyway. The only reason I went there was because it was cheaper than the Kinko's across the street. He then asked if I was rude to other people like him and I asked him was he such an @sshole to his other customers like he was being to me. (BTW I'm a black woman in a mostly white area and I don't know if his discrimination had anything to do with my race) Even though the owner of this store is Indian but there's not too many black people where I am.



    Now I really didn't like this guy's nasty attitude and him trying to cheat me. It's just the principle of the whole thing that bothers me. What should I do about this situation (besides never patronizing him again)? This is not chain store but it's a mom-and-pop shop owned by South Asian immigrants.
    How do I deal with this unprofessional situation with a business owner?
    I think I understand where you're coming from, it's not about the nickel, but about his all-around rudeness. No one deserves to be treated badly by a business person. If he didn't have a nickel, he could have given you three dimes and made a customer happy. He never should have asked you to go get change, as a businessman, it IS his responsibility to make sure he is able to make change.



    Your best bet is to never go there again, and if you want to make an impact, tell the owners about it, and make sure your friends know how you were treated. A business depends on it's customer base, and if their customers leave, they have no business.



    I don't think it was racial, I get the feeling that the guy is an equal opportunity offender.
    How do I deal with this unprofessional situation with a business owner?
    All this drama over being shortchanged by five cents? Standing on principle is admirable, but this is ridiculous. Here's how you deal with it: ignore it. Life's too short for this kind of upset.
    You find something else to get upset about. All that drama over a nickel was ridiculous. Do the man a favor and take your business elsewhere along with your attitude.
    First off, how rude of you to assume he was being nasty because you are black %26amp; live in a mostly white area. Why do black people always assume every problem they encounter is because of their color? That is not true. Just because he was rude to you doesn't mean he isn't rude to anyone else %26amp; doesn't mean he was rude to you because of your color. You accusing him of being a racist is as bad as, if not worse, than him not having change %26amp; giving you attitude.

    Working thesis + 3 main arguments for Internet Censorship in China? Would this work?

    I have a World Issues culminating (huge project given worth anywhere between 15 and 30% of your final mark). It's an essay about one of the issues in the world. My topic would be %26quot;China's Human Rights Record%26quot;; more specifically, China's Internet Censorship.



    This project is not to justify internet censorship; it is your own opinion with information to back it up. Obviously, I am against China's internet censorship and am incorporating my opinion into my essay.



    Previously I had asked for help in creating a thesis and three main arguments, but I think I've got it figured out and I'd really like other opinions to help me out and to make sure that I'm actually doing this right.



    It's actually really not in proper format because it's all jumbled up in my brain and it meshes together when on paper. Which is what I need help with - any chance y'all can turn my mess of thoughts into a proper, well-written thesis %26amp; arguments? It would be VERY helpful to me.



    Working thesis (well, a description of what I want as a thesis, really): When the government controls everything, including media, it hurts human rights the most. Aside from being an infringement on human rights, China's internet censorship issue hurts businesses as well. Because governments won't let businesses practice the way they'd like, it hurts businesses just as well as it hurts human rights. With this censorship act in place, China doesn't allow its own educated, knowledgeable people decide what is and isn't appropriate for them. Basically, the government has no rights in making decisions for its people by deciding what is and isn't right for them. Who is the government for making these kinds of decisions?



    ^ Those are my thoughts on China's internet censorship. Can ANYONE please put that into a more appropriate and well-written thesis for me? I'm desperate and I'd really appreciate your help!



    And now, onto the three main arguments.



    Argument one: It's an infringement on human rights. It doesn't allow people to make their own decisions.



    Argument two: It hurts businesses because they have to spend so much time and money trying to change their company to comply with China's censorship laws. For example, Google and Yahoo!



    Argument three: Recently with all these problems they've had, there's been so much corruption involved in trying to do the things that the governments want that companies take shortcuts, the %26quot;easy way out.%26quot; For example, the baby milk that had poison in it, and the kids' toys that contained a high concentration of lead, etc.





    Any way y'all can make that look... well, basically smarter? My mind's blank and I can't think of how to word it properly or make it well-written.



    PLEASE %26amp; THANK YOU!
    Working thesis + 3 main arguments for Internet Censorship in China? Would this work?
    I somewhat agree with you... Especially late at night when I'm looking at porn... But I lean a little towards Socialism when it's not my society we're talking about... I feel like there are some really good things about the internet ban in China... For example, their children are not exposed to the insanely vast amounts of information and thoughts around the world that make them grow up too fast... Is it a child's %26quot;right%26quot; to see porn while curiously surfing the internet?... Are we violating the rights of an extremist who researches how to make the bomb that goes on to kill 3,000 people?... Are we offending the sexual predators who scour social networking sites for displaced teenagers?...



    What I find absolutely amazing is that neither the Chinese gov't, American, Russian, or anyone have told the makers of the insanely offensive content to cease and desist their smut campaigns... I am not at all opposed to porno sites... I'm not even opposed to gay porno sites... What I'm offended by are the advertisements and search results that come back atop the search list for seemingly inoffensive search criteria... If you go to www.bangme.com then one would expect a porno site... But if my child searches %26quot;local cheerleading groups%26quot; and yields 100 porno sites for %26quot;bang a cheerleader tonight%26quot; then I have to question the extent of %26quot;freedom%26quot; we grant to just anyone... It seems like the porno world has taken over the internet and %26quot;spammed%26quot; our cable internet lines... They need to realize they share this amazing technological advancement and yes, there are children watching... It is our obligation to protect them...



    Perhaps the Chinese gov't would be more willing to free up the internet if they could get control of viruses and deplorable content... I look up stuff on the internet that would offend 90% of the people living in the Bible Belt... But I don't think I'm insane... And I think there's a fine line that an authority figure must draw in the sand and say %26quot;Enough is enough... We have rules here%26quot;...

    BIG malware problem URGENT HELP PLEASE!!!?

    I have a problem. My computer is completely controlled by a malware program. Here's what's going on:



    - The computer does not start normally. Since the last time i had it on it was shut down incorrectly, the screen showing me my start-up options shows up. If I try any of the following (Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with C.P., or the %26quot;start Windows normally%26quot; option) it restarts. The only way it does start is if I use the last settings that worked option.

    - When I start and log in, the usual bombardment of malware pop-ups begin. Ads claiming my computer is infected, fake system scans, etc. Whenever I had this problem before, I relied on Malwarebyte's or ComboFix to remove the Malware. Hijackthis doesn't seem to cut it anymore. I've been doing the whole file name changing business and everything to make them work, but with this, its a whole new ball game.

    - Whenever I try to open anything other than a folder, absolutely anything, (any %26quot;.exe%26quot;) a small message pops up in the right hand corner telling me that the file I'm trying to open is infected and that I need to run the %26quot;anti virus%26quot; program.



    I am completely lost here. If I can't even open a Notepad file, let alone access the internet, how in the hell am I supposed to get rid of this crap??



    PLEASE HELP

    I would run a system restore or re install the OS. If you dont mind loosing all your files, look for the factory default settings disk inside the box the computer came in and pop it in. Then either run it from the OS or when you boot up, press f8 repetedally.
    aha--vundo.

    vundo is the worst trojan I have ever seen.

    1. insert the XP disk. this should allow you to start command prompt. open command prompt, and type:

    cd %26quot;c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop%26quot;

    press enter.

    you can run your exe files here. I put you in the desktop. now, type the exe file you want to run and press enter. to view notepad files, put the word type before the file name. now you can probably run malwarebytes and delete this garbage from the system.
    the proper name for this infection is: smitfraud

    go to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com for instructions to get rid of it.

    you may also want to try a free utility available at Major Geeks called SmitFraudFix at http://www.majorgeeks.com and this program will need to be ran ONLY in safe mode

  • What is the difference between market share and share price?

    I'm asking because I'm trying to do an assignment and I can't find the vocabulary terms for the aforementioned.



    Here is the assignment.



    Using the Internet, research Microsoft in the software industry and AT%26amp;T in the telecommunications industry to compare and contrast their performance over the last five years. Compare the two companies with special reference to the economic and environmental factors affecting their business during this time.



    Examine how the following aspects of the company have changed over the last five years.



    Earnings

    Growth

    Share price
    What is the difference between market share and share price?
    Share price is the cost (dollars per share) or one share of stock in each company.



    Market share is the percent of the market that the company has. If you said Microsoft has 60% market share of operating systems then 60% of the operating systems in use and ones they sell.

    Please help me, there is a picture of my on the TOILET on the internet!?

    I was in a crowded train station and I really had to use the bathroom (#2). I hated to do it but I had no choice. I went in the gross bathroom and began my business. Then some guy kicked open the door, took a picture of me, and said it was going on the internet! Then he said to give him my email and he will give me the link. I thought if I knew where it was I could tell the police the address so I gave him my email address. I didn't want to risk my wife or family or coworkers to see it! He sent me an email that said he changed his mind and wasn't going to post it as long as I gave him a bunch of people I knew's email addresses. He said so he could sell them amway. I figured it would be better that they got a spam email rather then see me on the toilet so I gave him a list. Then he sent EVERYONE on the list the pic of me on the toilet, including my wife and children, my friends and coworkers and my boss. There was also a fake audio clip of gross sound! What can I do? They laugh at me!
    Please help me, there is a picture of my on the TOILET on the internet!?
    um, you shouldn't have given your email to him in the first place. i think it would have been better to be on the internet, because it is unlikely that he would have done it and if he did, it is a small chance that people you know whould have seen it. whow cares if people you will never meet in your life see it. but since the damage is done...i would tell the police that you were blackmailed and stuff. and send the people who recieved the picture a sorry letter thing. it wont be as funny after a week or so. urm...good luck
    Please help me, there is a picture of my on the TOILET on the internet!?
    it will blow over
    Post the link!



    PLEEEEEASE?



    Aw come on...
    Find a way to report it to the police. They can track him through his e-mail or whatever.
    That's pretty hilarious- LMAO!!! Sorry but they really got you good. All you can do is laugh at yourself, what else could you do?
    hahahaha laugh it off its not that serious
    you got his email, call the police.
    wow, what train station did you do that in.. you shouldnt have gave him the emails.
    Report him to the police, thts illegal
    Dude your screwed LOL=))
    I hope you saved all of your correspondence with this creep. I'm so sorry about what's happened to you - you're still being victimized. If you have the link, and you saved some or all of your emails, etc., then take your evidence to the authorities - many of them now have cyber specialists who can trace the computer activity to a business, residence, etc. There is always a way, and this jerkoff deserves to be caught and dealt with.
    it isnt a serious thing but that is blackmail, you could report him or shrug it off. Just tell the people he sent it to, to stop if there any decent they will

    How can the people take the enormous amount of power that BIG MEDIA has in presidential elections?

    The press plays a vital role in our democracy, shaping citizens鈥?understanding of social and political issues and functioning as gatekeepers through which issues, people, and events must pass. No matter what you care about 鈥?gun rights or abortion rights, the environment or economics 鈥?the media influence the perceptions of citizens and policymakers, affecting the policies that touch us all. Media must not be considered just another business: they are special institutions in our society. Information is the lifeblood of democracy 鈥?and when viewpoints are cut off and ideas cannot find an outlet, our democracy suffers.



    Traditional media, telecommunications and cable are converging, all becoming firmly linked to the Internet. The ways we share information, the ways we receive information, and the ways this information is produced are all changing rapidly. In the halls of power 鈥?from corporate boardrooms to the corridors of the Capitol 鈥?policies are being rewritten to prepare for this new era.





    Big Media, Big Cable and Big Telecom are some of the strongest and fiercest lobbies in Washington, and, indeed, across the country. One of the most profitable industries and one on which politicians depend to make their views heard, it is difficult to battle such clout. Media outlets unwilling to report on their parent company鈥檚 interests and broader issues of media reform put more obstacles in the way of public interest advocates.



    BIG MEDIA has a huge effect on who wins presidential primaries. the major television news outlets are viewed by most americans, which gives them the power to manipulate the masses' opinions on candidates that would help them by relaxing laws on media ownership. They also have the power to essentially blacklist candidates who would be a threat to them by passing new laws that would be more in line with the constitution. So you can see how a candidate that values the constitution would be a major threat to them.



    if Dr. Ron Paul got the amount of attention that Obama, hilary, edwards, romney, mccain %26amp; guiliani get, i am sure that he would win the election by an enormous number of votes. If the average american knew who he was, and what he is all about, he would be a huge threat to hillary's presidential campaign. Ron paul is EXTREMELY popular among the people that know who he is because he truly represents the american people, not the establishment. Ron Paul has a voting record in congress that demonstrates that he will not be pushed into voting for any unconstitutional legislation, such as the patriot act, or the real id act, or the torture bill. He is 1 of only 6 republicans that voted against the war. Ron Paul has also been named %26quot;the taxpayers best friend.%26quot;



    Many web sites and forums have had to shut down, due to the overwhelming number of people writing messages of support for Ron Paul. a MySpace page titled %26quot;Opinion Polling%26quot; posted the following note this week: %26quot;Temporarily shut down due to Ron Paul. will be back eventually.%26quot; A source said that the page's owners shut it down because Paul supporters %26quot;invaded the place.%26quot;



    here is a website called techPresident.com that has an ongoing internet poll displayed on it.

    http://techpresident.com/scrape_plot/mys鈥?/a>



    the poll shows that Ron Paul is the top republican candidate among internet users.

    Yet, the big media companies IGNORE Ron Paul on their 24 hour news networks. Every other story is about which celebrity is endorsing barak obama, or what color dress Hillary wore last week at a fundraiser. How did this happen? WHat can be done about it? i am thinking maybe the fairness doctrine should be applied to the big cable news networks, even though i am a libertan.







    here is an article (which i used some quotes from) that explains this further:

    (http://ronpaul.rescue-us.org/2007/03/02/鈥?/a>

    --------------------------









    Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who has explored a presidential run, doesn't register very high in the national polls featuring 2008 presidential candidates (1 percent, tops). But there's one place that he simply rules: the Internet.



    Fans of the libertarian have stormed the Web -- in ways both good and bad -- to show their support. Over at TechPresident.com -- a Web site that tracks candidates' %26quot;friends%26quot; on the popular social networking site MySpace.com -- Paul is tops for Republicans, with 3,107 %26quot;friends%26quot; (Mitt Romney is second with 1,785).



    But elsewhere, the voraciousness of Paul's supporters has sparked the ire of others. The Web site 2008HorseRace.com, which features an ongoing poll for candidates, issued this notice on Feb. 23: %26quot;Ron Paul has been suspended for two weeks because of repeated use of mob intimidation tactics and multiple threats made by Ron Paul supporters against racetrack operators, racetrack officials and racetrack sponsors.%26quot; PajamasMedia.com removed Ron Paul from its presidential polls after it was discovered that someone had rigged the poll system in his favor. It has since implemented a rule that it will only include candidates polling at 1 percent or more in credible national news polls.



    And a MySpace page titled %26quot;Opinion Polling%26quot; posted the following note this week: %26quot;Temporarily shut down due to Ron Paul will be back eventually.%26quot; A source said that the page's owners shut it down because Paul supporters %26quot;invaded the place.%26quot;



    Paul's exploratory committee spokesman Kent Snyder thinks he knows why Paul's supporters are so gung-ho for their guy. %26quot;One of the reasons that Dr. Paul is getting a lot of cyber support is because he voted against regulating the Internet,%26quot; Snyder told Yeas %26amp; Nays.
    How can the people take the enormous amount of power that BIG MEDIA has in presidential elections?
    Not a question, just a REAL long blabing.
    How can the people take the enormous amount of power that BIG MEDIA has in presidential elections?
    The Yahoo censors are watching...........
    The only person who matters in Presidential Elections is US Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia. He selects whoever he likes to be President no matter who the people or media want. If Scalia doesn't support you, you won't be selected President. Case Closed!
    But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.

    Girlfriends and there guy friends, what is to much?

    Me and my girlfriend have been together for a few months now and even I would say that we are moving fast. We like each other a lot but have not gotten to the point where we say we love each other yet. She practically lives at my house and I enjoy her being here with me. So to say the least we see an awful lot of each other and we enjoy each others company enough to do so.

    The problem starts here, I am in the Army and I travel quite a bit. Sometimes I'm gone for a week or 2 for schools and stuff like that. When I leave to go to these schools she randomly hooks up with her guy friend. I have yet to meet this guy friend but let me tell you what I know about him. Part time physical trainer (my girlfriend had a pic of him posing shirt off for his caller id in her phone) and runs a internet Business (which he has now convinced her to help him with this business and she is giddy at the idea). Him and my girlfriend originally met through a mutual friend with the intentions for them to hook up. Now I realize that she has friends and I am in no way saying that I don't want her to have any friends but, I think that when I leave and she goes straight for him to hang out is pushing the wrong buttons with me. A movie came out that I wanted to see with her and she knew this but I had to leave on a training event. She goes to a gathering of some sort that this friend invited her to, they eat dinner then, they go watch this movie that I wanted to see with her. Now, I get upset and not just because she watched the movie without me but she went with that guy. One other thing I failed to mention about my girlfriend, she is very sporadic and all this was told to me after she did it.

    She does tell me what she is doing OR has done to be more accurate, but sometimes I wonder. I trust her but these situations she puts herself in make it hard to trust. I do know that even if I did meet this guy and even if i liked him that I would not approve of my girlfriend seeing him if I was not present or I at least had an advanced notice. She knows how I feel and says she is not changing her friendship with him, actually there friendship has gotten better since I brought it up to her.



    Am I overacting, should I deal with the hurt all the time of knowing she is out having fun with other guys while I am away? Or do I end the hurt and call the relationship before it really serious?
    Girlfriends and there guy friends, what is to much?
    you're a complete failure for letting your girlfriend cheat on you

    Do these horoscope really mean anything or the astrologers just play with words to please people for business?

    Every now and then we find astrologers advertising for predicting future in papers and on internet, ultimately selling some items which might change our luck etc. I am just a bit confused, do these horoscope really mean or just a stunt to play with good words to attract more people to have confidence and ultimately sell them some items claiming would change their luck hence set them to be successful in wealth, love and what not? Is it true? Is there any such knowledge to forecast someone's future? Please do advise me about this study; I am a bit confused. Thanks
    Do these horoscope really mean anything or the astrologers just play with words to please people for business?
    Newspaper Astrology columns are basically a bit of fun. They mean very little -- and naturally -- if they are positive they can give people a bit of a fillip. If they are admonishing or encouraging you to be wary of something -- then the odds are that a certain proportion of the particular Sun Sign readers will actually relate that to something in the lives... BUT overall they mean very little IF anything.



    HOWEVER...a proper Astrological reading, derived from the creation of your Natal chart is another thing.



    Whilst it is barmy to really set much store by a paragraph of Astrological waffle in a newspaper which applies to about one twelfth of the population (in the UK, say almost 5million people) -- an Astrological reading for you as a person born on a particular day, in a particular place, at a particular time -- can provide an uncanny and interesting insight into your persona and into certain aspects of your life, and the way you 'live ' it.



    A true Astrological and personal reading can be quite enlightening, and make you think about how and why you do things in a certain way. I can only say that the 'coincidences' in a personal chart and reading are often too many to be 'chance' and given the limits of 'space and time' (here on Yahoo Answers) I cannot 'justify' why there is more of a 'scientific basis' to the personal insights provided by Astrology than you might think.



    Astrology being used to 'predict' the future is more questionable -- BUT insofar as you, as a person born when the Sun, Moon and Planets were in a unique position relative to where you were when you emerged into the world, may be provided with insights into your past and present -- so the future position of the planets, and your Astrological predisposition just might provide some useful 'information' about what sort of 'general period' you may be going to go through -- which could help with effective decision making.



    So -- do not dismiss the 'real' Astrology just because the newspaper 'fun' columns are just a piece of nonsense!
    Do these horoscope really mean anything or the astrologers just play with words to please people for business?
    They use clever phrasing that allows people to read into things really its just nonsense
    People in love tend to go for this stuff but, when you think about it, there are so many millions of people with the same birth sign that they are bound to strike lucky.
    I personally think that astrology is a joke, but there are some strange cases where they happen to b completely correct about your day. I wouldn't look into it that much though because then if u start to believe that stuff then u try to avoid things that it says to avoid, and really none of that really ends up being true any ways. The only time they get that stuff right is by luck. I would suggest not to pay attention to it.
    I think the positions of the stars among many other things do affect who were are and who we become. But it's not everything. They merely influence us.



    Horoscopes and fortune tellers are always very general, so it's easy to find a connection from what they're saying to you're own life. Because the stars do influence our lives, what they say can sound very tempting to believe, but don't. Just for your own well being, don't believe them.



    It's impossible for one individual to understand truly how the stars affected us, and those who have the slimmest understanding will overexaggerate their talents for money.



    So my advise is to not pay attention. =)
    Astrology is an excellent use of ambiguous English and very little else.
    well i believe .
    if you read every ones horoscopes they are all similar its just coincidence if anything comes true
    Don't be confused - it's crap.
    I met a girl in my teenage years who claimed her mother was psychis etc. Cut to the chase, I met her one evening and she started telling me things about my family etc. that no-one outside would know. For weeks I believed that she really could %26quot;see%26quot; things.

    One day after school I was having a coffee with my mum and as usual she was prying into my social life (girls n that) I told her I was seeing this girl whos mother was a psychic and told her about the things she,d told me. %26quot; Psychic my @rse..! %26quot; was the reply. She had been all through school with my mum and they were still friends but I didnt know. I felt like a friggin idiot, but I learned a lesson.
    I think the astrologers are fake and they do all this for money.

    If we could know about our future than the world would have been something different from what it is today.

    This is all rubbish, do not believe all this, if the astrologers could know about the future than they would have been something else than a people pleaser!
    Horoscope writers are like horse racing tipsters. You can't read or believe them all. It's up to you to pick a couple and stick with them through thick and thin. Watch out for red buses tomorrow
    yes the horoscope really mean something related to humans life. if moon can create tides on earth, that means the planet is having some afffect on ocean, it can definitely affect humans life also.true astrologer never play with anyones life.

    really learned astrologer predicts 90 percent correct. rest 10percentage is on god.

    Why cyberspace isn’t, and will never be, nirvana



    By Clifford Stoll | NEWSWEEK

    From the magazine issue dated Feb 27, 1995



    After two decades online, I’m perplexed. It’s not that I haven’t had a gas of a good time on the Internet. I’ve met great people and even caught a hacker or two. But today, I’m uneasy about this most trendy and oversold community. Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make government more democratic.



    Baloney. Do our computer pundits lack all common sense? The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.



    Consider today’s online world. The Usenet, a worldwide bulletin board, allows anyone to post messages across the nation. Your word gets out, leapfrogging editors and publishers. Every voice can be heard cheaply and instantly. The result? Every voice is heard. The cacophany more closely resembles citizens band radio, complete with handles, harrasment, and anonymous threats. When most everyone shouts, few listen. How about electronic publishing? Try reading a book on disc. At best, it’s an unpleasant chore: the myopic glow of a clunky computer replaces the friendly pages of a book. And you can’t tote that laptop to the beach. Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.



    What the Internet hucksters won’t tell you is tht the Internet is one big ocean of unedited data, without any pretense of completeness. Lacking editors, reviewers or critics, the Internet has become a wasteland of unfiltered data. You don’t know what to ignore and what’s worth reading. Logged onto the World Wide Web, I hunt for the date of the Battle of Trafalgar. Hundreds of files show up, and it takes 15 minutes to unravel them–one’s a biography written by an eighth grader, the second is a computer game that doesn’t work and the third is an image of a London monument. None answers my question, and my search is periodically interrupted by messages like, “Too many connectios, try again later.”



    Won’t the Internet be useful in governing? Internet addicts clamor for government reports. But when Andy Spano ran for county executive in Westchester County, N.Y., he put every press release and position paper onto a bulletin board. In that affluent county, with plenty of computer companies, how many voters logged in? Fewer than 30. Not a good omen.



    Point and click:



    Then there are those pushing computers into schools. We’re told that multimedia will make schoolwork easy and fun. Students will happily learn from animated characters while taught by expertly tailored software.Who needs teachers when you’ve got computer-aided education? Bah. These expensive toys are difficult to use in classrooms and require extensive teacher training. Sure, kids love videogames–but think of your own experience: can you recall even one educational filmstrip of decades past? I’ll bet you remember the two or three great teachers who made a difference in your life.



    Then there’s cyberbusiness. We’re promised instant catalog shopping–just point and click for great deals. We’ll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obselete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet–which there isn’t–the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople.



    What’s missing from this electronic wonderland? Human contact. Discount the fawning techno-burble about virtual communities. Computers and networks isolate us from one another. A network chat line is a limp substitute for meeting friends over coffee. No interactive multimedia display comes close to the excitement of a live concert. And who’d prefer cybersex to the real thing? While the Internet beckons brightly, seductively flashing an icon of knowledge-as-power, this nonplace lures us to surrender our time on earth. A poor substitute it is, this virtual reality where frustration is legion and where–in the holy names of Education and Progress–important aspects of human interactions are relentlessly devalued.
    Don't those who insist obamas health care plan will fail, sound like those who said the internet would fail?
    Baloney



    The Obama so called health care plan is a mess that Rube Goldberg would have been proud of.

    There the same ones who said interracial marriage was against God. And integration would ruin the country. And women should never have the right to vote.
    many ask, why can't I get orange juice from apples? The answer is the same.
    Uh, no.
    %26quot;don't those who insist obamas health care plan will fail, sound like those who said the internet would fail?%26quot;



    No. This guy sounds like those who insist that Obamas health care plan will work.



    This part is funny: %26quot;Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.%26quot;



    I wonder what Clifford Stoll has to say now?
    Nope, you see there is a very distinct difference between the internet (where many people go for enjoyment and has constantly been battled to stay pseudo anonymous) and a health care system.





    You can try as you want to live in a dream world, but please do not try to drag the rest of us living in reality into the black hole you are creating for yourself.

    How could I promote my organization: Youth for Change to help Christian youth of Pakistan?

    The Christians in Pakistan are about 2% of its population. The Christian youth needs help to learn job skills and educate themselves -- they need lot of information on the kind of education they should go for in order to excel in it. They need business education so that they could initiate their own businesses and find success in it. They need to learn internet and English to enhance their knowledge. There is a need to help male students to find better education and better job so that they could marry with the well literate Christian females, at present there is an unbalance among the sexes at that level which has created social problems . At present there is a need to motivate young people to take up their responsibilities and work hard at it. We would like to work for female youth empowerment and development as well. If the youth is not helped in their soical problems they will become further poor and also will be very depressed and will lose interest in the Church work %26amp; society.

    Take the help of Gen Musharraf but don't agree if he offers to open Madrassas for Christians in Pakistan or he'll turn them into Jehadis!
    How could I promote my organization: Youth for Change to help Christian youth of Pakistan?
    Hello dear!

    Very nice of you to wish to help the needy!

    But, why only of one religion and not all children of %26quot;god%26quot;?

    You can try your Christian Church!
    Go to Christian web sites and sign their guestbook with a link back to your site. You can also have banners on your site for people to put onto their's with links back to you. And you can try emailing, churches, ministries, and religious schools.
    What a question you ask! Let me say that if you promote the right kind of assitance, you will find that you are actually just relocating yourself to that area. You will never just send a box with 10 million dollars to them and expect anything to get done of course... But allow me to aid you here in your methodology.



    You're dealing with Pakistan, soo... you must take a drastic advantage of this climate's business opportunities. You lack the ability to re-order complex markets and market advertising, so that is obviously out of the question in way of making large deals with big powers.



    You must take your message to Pakistan at a very very weird level. You must start a business there as an extension of American capitalistic ideals and practices. This your Christian leaders really suck at so its perfectly okay to ask for help from someone that has some sympathies but maybe isnt inclined to help. There really are small and even a few large businesses that are outcropping their expansions into different insights of Pakistany culture. You must use what you know of their life to assist in the change where it works for you as a Christian follower. The irony here is that you must not make a church or anything, but it will act like a church to the extent that people will work for you like a business. Fund raising comes hand in hand with skills not learned in any type of education system we are privvy to. You must think inside the box, but bring an idea that is out of this world, and literally out of their world, and even out of the context of your bible. There is no definitive answer here, so allocate knowledge at every level, but doubt not the power of knowing what youre talking about here, about actually taking a vacation or something to Pakistan and organizing business meetings at levels that are not normally taken for granted. That is your gift of course, your complaceny to your innocent intentions. You shall find a way, faith as a grain of mustard seed my friend.

    How would a message board remember links & messages you've visited after signing out and restarting computer?

    I visit a business/financial message board, and despite the fact I clear cookies, files, history, and also sign out and restart my computer, when I re-visit the board, it remembers what links and messages I've visited, without my having to sign in.



    The unread messages are in bold, and the read messages are no longer bold. Also, my ip address changes each time I restart my computer, so that couldn't be it. Does this mean that message board has placed spyware on my computer? Most message boards do not retain information after visitors have done all the above.



    As described above, after signing out, I go to internet options, clear cookies, files, and history, and have restarted my computer, which changes my ip addy, and then returned to the board, and the website still remembers what messages I've read. This is a financial message board, so I'm concerned that some type of spyware may be placed on the computers of people who join the site.
    How would a message board remember links %26amp; messages you've visited after signing out and restarting computer?
    That is rather odd! You would think it would clear the links after you cleared your cookies. I think there is something else you are overlooking or some other reason for this occurrence.



    99.9% of the time a forum is not going to put spy ware on your computer. Besides, do you remember installing any software to access this forum? If not, these forums don't have any special power over your computer and spyware would be almost impossible to have been installed in your computer (unless you did it).



    I can't tell you why, althought just re-assure you that your not infected with any spyware from that site. Besides there would be no finacial gain for a forum/msg board to install such software to strickly track what you click on.

    How did both the American & Australian Government possibly get away with screwing the electoral polls?

    We all know how they did it (via illegal hacking into the internet mainframe with outside assistance).

    BUT my question is how the HELL did both losers (John HOW?WAR!DUH! %26amp; Georgie Porgie W BUSHWEEK) get away with it, and blatantly pulled it off in front of the whole world, and considering such fraudulent business in Australian Government, is Aussie government really as pathetic as the American Government as they've been showing us of late? Have we really joined America's ratrace of ULTIMATE self DOOM!



    It would be a nice change to be proven wrong for once I must say, I mean I only hope that the perception of the majority is wrong for all our sakes...Let me know what you think, maybe you could put this old silent warriors mind at ease at give me some reason to put faith back into our future government, because quite frankly everything they do at the moment is completely appauling and is absolutely disgusting %26amp; irrelevant to our Nations future with the rest of the world, let alone us.
    How did both the American %26amp; Australian Government possibly get away with screwing the electoral polls?
    I don't know why you think that the Australian elections were rigged. They were conducted the way they have always been and the votes were counted the way they have always been. I know it is hard to believe but Howard and his mob got in because the Liberals won - fair and square.

    The reason that we are going down the toilet, especially in international terms, is that Howard has an unhealthy and sycophantic adoration of George Bush and his mates and is copying Bush's policies at every opportunity. If you look at all the things that Howard has done with immigration, terrorist laws and nuclear (to name a few), they almost to the letter reflect the policies of the Bush administration so that Australia has become a little mini copy of the US. This is what Howard wants and this is what he is turning Australia into.

    In Australia, the rich are getting very much richer and the less rich are working longer and harder for less money. We have to pay for more public services than ever before and the %26quot;tax cuts%26quot; that are given to placate critics have actually been a major influence on interest rates by increasing inflation. The only people who are better off than they have ever been (as Howard keeps telling us we are!!) are those in the upper income bracket and those who already have more than their fair share of the money and power.

    The ordinary Aussie battlers are getting screwed and come next election Howard will realise that the majority of Australians are fed up with all his BS and that it is time for a change.
    How did both the American %26amp; Australian Government possibly get away with screwing the electoral polls?
    We live in countries that have voter that concern themselves with what is in it for them to the point that they are so blinded by the promises and the artificial fearmongering that they cannot see the lies until the reality bites them after the election. the majority are not necessarily right it often means that more people are wrong.
    No manipulation occurred, except (in the US) in Wisconsin, which was almost certainly stolen for Kerry.
    Leaving aside your major delusions, let me set one thing straight. Mainframes are pretty much the most secure form of computer, in use today.



    It is generally FAR (REPEAT, FAR) harder to hack a mainframe than any other machine.



    By comparison, web servers running Linux are Swiss cheese.
    Gotta love conspiracy theorists!



    You ****! Howard got in because the majority of aussies voted for him. There was no rigging. The federal government has don a great job, and has made some tough decisions to ensure that we are not like the other countries e.g. the US.



    Because of howard



    1. People can get a job if they want one

    2. Interest rates are still within safe limits

    3. Inflation is within safe limits

    4. Australia has no governement debt

    5. Australia can handle turbulent foreign markets without too much impact on our own economy



    People who vote for Rudd next election will be voting because they are selfish. They cannot see that things like workchoices are there for the greater good. They also only look at the short term pay issues, rather than realising that thousands of people now have jobs and no longer live in poverty, thanks to the flexability that the workchoices reforms allowed businesses. More women can now rejoin the work force without being restricted by Union agreements. People can work as much or as little as they want, and negotiate conditions individually to suit their own work/life balance. Stop the scare campaign and get back to your bachelor of arts degree.
    The majority of people does not believe what you are spewing because it is totally false. It's so false that even you know it's false. Nice try.

    Any one can revise me the grammer?

    15 years ago,i lived in Jersey City for one year, i remembered the senary of Twin Towers. Although things changed, that inspired me that we should do something we like before it is too late. i am cautious and grateful to move to the Internet business at this moment and for the rest of my 10-year life. i believed that only innovation makes endurable.

    Afterthe short meeting this afternoon, i would like to add something,

    1. i had the startup company experience in Errt.

    2. i like to have more challenging but need creation job, and the most of all, fun chasing job.

    3. please hire me, i will do the job as best as i can be with all my heart.

  • Promotion, Marketing & Socializing is a big part of a musicians success but what about fans with no internet?

    Hello,



    I would like to make a brief introduction about myself. I am the lead singer/vocalist in a rock/pop band, The Embezzles, (name have been changed quite a few times within the past few months)and we鈥檙e very similar to Paramore and Linkin Park. We鈥檙e sort of a big deal in East Texas with an increasing fan base which continues to grow expendably great but we have a big problem communicating and contacting fans. We鈥檝e tried everything from Post Office boxes, Private Mailboxes and social networking sties. Unfortunately, the Postal Services are on shaky ground. Postal Services have rules and regulations to combat mail fraud and other crimes committed using postal and private mailboxes which sounds convincing but the postal services are on the wrong side here.



    Rather than protecting privacy they are seeking to invade it and rather than allowing some consumer choice they are looking to stifle what little competition exists. Unfortunately, scam artists also utilize the convenience of private mailboxes to hide illegal activities, such as credit card fraud, identity theft and schemes to swindle the elderly. In other words or simple terms, P.O. boxes and Private Mailboxes are growing concerns of the postal services used in order to single out P.O. boxes and PMB(private mailboxes) who have personal accounts instead of business accounts.



    We would like to have an address rather than using one of our own physical home address because you guys are aware of fans(groupies) can be a bit psychotic at times when bands are in the limelight destined for stardom. Instead of selling merchandise, passing out flyers, etc. from our tour van/hotel (lol) J, we decided that we want to be able to reach fans outside of our 100 mile radius giving fans the opportunity to write personal letters to one our band members, pics or whatever the fans want to give their favorite band (The Embezzles ) %26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;promotion tactic%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;,in order to converse on numerous occasions, but we do not want to give the government or postal office or any carrier service speculations or any misleading ideas that we are subjecting to a scheme to earn money or somehow get personal information from individuals. All we want is to build a connection with our fans in order to solidify our relationships to remind them of upcoming tour dates, nearby performances, or any updates we might have in order to refresh the memories of our fans.



    We were recommended on some international mail forwarding service sites but getting an international P.O. or Private box seems a little suspect, wouldn鈥檛 you agree? Although they offer great services they only require your personal information鈥?sometimes to much information. I have scavenged many postal services sites and some websites seem a bit puzzling. Even though they have U.S. Postal Forms and identification requirements they false advertise and some sites even have numerous complaints from previous customers. If I were to come across one of these misleading websites how would I be able to recognize a true and faithful postal or forwarding service from any other website posing as a legit mail forwarding service? Are there any services that allows you to apply online if so this would be my first option to cut out the hassle and run around the postal services have been giving us.



    Thanks for your all your time and help.


    Promotion, Marketing %26amp; Socializing is a big part of a musicians success but what about fans with no internet?
    Starting to look like spam, but all I can say is- I had a friend who was in a band back in the mid-late 80s. This was Before the internet %26amp; they managed to get fan mail from Japan.



    So if some no name band could do it back *then*......

    What April Fools gag should I play on my office?

    Two years ago I changed my shirt about 15 times throughout the day, and NO ONE NOTICED.



    Last year I messed with the Radio so it would only play Chuck Berry Songs.



    I need a good idea for this year. I work in a big open office with about 10 other people. I would rather not interfere with the clients or business. Ideally this is a gag that gets everyone in the office, I don't want to single anyone out, but I am open for ideas. Everyone in the office has computers, internet access, phones.

    Caveat Emptor: Buyer Beware.



    At this point, consider yourself conned. Anything too good to be true probably is. And Buyebarrel certainly sounded like one.



    Stop looking to government to protect you from your gullibility. The freedom to roam and gather info in a free marketplace of ideas will always be fraught with those looking to dupe for personal gain.



    If you ask an authority to protect you from things you shouldn't know, you're also giving that authority the right to withhold info that you have a right to know. Better to be exposed and know when your being taken advantage of than being shielded and being taken advantage of anyway.

    Who owns and operates the radio station most tuned to on your dial, and what does it cost to do business there

    Who owns and operates the radio station most tuned to on your dial, and what does it cost to do business there? Try a little Internet sleuthing. If the station has a website, that may tell you its affiliation. A telephone call or an e-mail to the marketing department may secure you an advertising rate card, but be sure to tell them you're a student fulfilling a class assignment so they don't expect you to buy air time. What's the most expensive time to put a commercial on the air? What's the cheapest?

    HELP! I use my Windows XP laptop at home and at my job. I was having trouble accessing any webpage, %26quot;Cannot Display Webpage%26quot; would come up. So stupid me, I was trying to locate the problem. My computer was connected to the internet just fine, I rebooted the modems, restarted the computer and the network connections showed they were connected. IT was confirmed by the tech asst guys at Time Warner. But I still could not open a webpage anywhere. So I was messing around and came across the networking troubleshooting options. I used the Networking Connection Wizard...there were two questions that I could choose from....1. This computer is used for a business... or 2. This computer is used for home. I changed it to the HOME option. It changed some settings evidently and NOW after I restarted my computer, I can not log in to it. It won't recognize my password or login. HELP!!!!! Please only serious answers are needed. I really need some guidance in how to get into my computer and then how to change it back!!!!!
    HOME NETWORK VS BUSINESS NETWORK
    This happens sometimes when the user profile gets trashed... It really isn't to hard to recover most of the time....

    Boot into safe mode. (You do that by pressing F8 before you see the starting windows xp screen.. this is a timing thing, you have to hit F8 after the bios screen but before the XP screen!!!) Enter safe mode at the menu.

    Then go to Control Panel - Users. Change your profile - any slight change will do.. add a letter to your name and change the password save the change. Then reboot! You should be able to access your computer normally.



    If not, redo the safe mode and ADD a user login using the new user make it an admin. See if that lets you in.



    The problem you are having with %26quot;Page can't be displayed%26quot; is more than likely a DNS issue and can be fixed by entering a MANUAL entry for the DNS servers.. use 4.2.2.2 and your routers IP like 192.168.1.1 Once you are working again, go back and reset them to automatic.

    Ideas for an interior design business card?....?

    Do you know of any nice ones on the net? Or have any other ideas? Again, I definently want to use a photo of an interior space.
    Ideas for an interior design business card?....?
    I've used EZ-Ink Printing before as a business card printer. They were very helpful in creating a design for my company. They have designers that will help you put together a good design if you have a good concept of what you want. They typically use either your photography or stock photography from their database.



    Give them a call or email, I'm sure they can put something together for you like they did me.



    http://www.ez-ink.com



    Oh, by the way. I think they have a design-it-yourself tool as well. That will allow you to create your own design.



    Hope that helps.
