  1. I do not believe that this question is answerable at this moment due to the fact that we have not even explored 0.0000000000000000125% of the universe that we reside in. If I were to make a logical guess to whether there are more than one universe, I would say that it would be impossible. I cannot see how there can be two universes. How would it be possible to get across from one to the other. Unless there is a way for the universes to connect to each other, I doubt that there could be such thing as another universe. Even if the two universes can be connected to each other, wouldn't that just mean that they would be considered one universe? I mean, it is hard to imagine another universe when we cannot even imagine the size of our universe.
  2. I absolutely love this game. It gives me something to do when I have nothing to do. I bought the full version on Steam about 4 months ago and play it occasionally. I do not play it as much as I used to when I first got it because it got a little redundant but I do still play it every now and then. It reminds me of a Tap Tap REvolution game. It feels a lot like the game is as fast-paced or as slow-paced as the actual song (that is the intended purpose). What would be cool is if this software would be available on the iPOd touch so I can take it everywhere with my on the go. I would play it a lot more if I could take it with me everywhere. I would not be surprised if it was released for the iPOd/iPad in the future.

    Cashle

    I do not know about other people but I believe that cashle is a scam in my opinion. I joined it after getting referred by my friend. I completed enough surveys in a few days to cash out ten dollars via paypal. However, when I went over to the payment request page of the website, I requested a paypal cashout. The next day, I found out that I had been banned from Cashle. The only thing that bugs me is the fact that I was banned for absolutely no reason. I had not done everything wrong. I even read the terms of service and verified that I had done absolutely nothing wrong (no multiple accounts, no false information, etc.) I sent a ticket to the customer service but they never responded to them. I have come to the conclusion that cashle and its sister site, points2shop. I was not happy/pleased at all with this website.
  4. Recently,. I became a little fascinated with photography so I was doing some research on different DSLR cameras and now I am stuck with a few different options. I can get a Canon t2i, a canon 60d, or a canon t3i but I have no idea which one to get. I am mainly using the camera to record videos (and color correct them later). Which camera do you guys think I should get. The cameras are near the same price range and the output is pretty much the same. However, I have not had any hands on experience with these cameras so I cannot decide for myself.I was also thinking about getting a Nikon digital slr camera but I read about how the video recording is not as good as the video that the Canon digital slr cameras produce. Do you guys have anything to say about this? Also, these two brands have their own series of lenses that you can pick from. I do not know which one to pick.
  5. NeoBux has changed a lot in the past 2 weeks. First of all, you cannot make 4 cents a day like you used to. From now on, each ad is worth $.001 which makes NeoBux more like an Aurora site. The only way you can actually make any money from this site is from referrals now. New users will have to invest money in order to get referrals and make money. I believe that the admin of this site changed the settings in order to throw away the non-dedicated members from the site and keep the active and dedicated members on the site. Basically, this is to separate the bad from the good members.I personally quit NeoBux because it was not worth it to me. I am not going to spend time (even if it is only 5 minutes) clicking ads everyday to earn around 20 cents from my 10 referrals that I have on that site. I have better things to do with my life and I think that there are easier ways to make money online such as promoting your referral links on youtube videos. This alone is making me a lot of money on autopilot.
  6. Blogs and forums in my opinion to compare to each other since each of them are pretty different. Blogs are more for writing articles about niches for people blogging about their personal lives with like three people for their audience. A forum is more for discussion about different topics such as monetizing, gaming, computer programming, etc. People both use blogs and forums to seek knowledge but forums allow more conversation about them.
  7. I like to use TextFree to text different people. In my opinion, it is better than the regular free texting sites on the web because this one gives you a number that people can text back to. Also, as well as getting a personal texting number that people can text, you can also access this from your iPad or iPod Touch if you have one. Since my real phone does not have any texting, I like to use my iPod to get free texts. The only downside to this is that you need wifi internet whenever you want to recieve or send a text message to someone.
  8. Malware Bytes usually gets rid of all of my viruses in one scan. I tend not to use it as much as I used to because I work with a lot of programs that report false positives to the antiviruses so I get confused as to whether or not a file that is detected by virus scanners are a safe file. One time I accidentally deleted a file through Malware Bytes that was crucial to a project that I was working on. If you do not work with false positives or do not even know what false positives are, I highly recommend that you use Malware Bytes on your computer.If you want just a regular antivirus, I would recommend AVG or Avast. I really despise Norton and McAfee because they take up a lot of my CPU usage and RAM. I really prefer lightweight antiviruses that use less system resources. Norton and McAfee may be able to do a better job at detecting viruses at real time but in my opinion, I do not think that it is worth it.
  9. I personally like to use Skype more since I prefer to talk to people with my voice rather than talk to them with text because I find it much easier to send and recieve information quickly. I also use Skype to get my vocal lessons online and I swear that it is almost as good as having vocal lessons in real life except for the fact that you cannot touch them. Me and my instructor both have high quality web cameras so it looks pretty clear. The webcams are clear enough so that she can show me her larynx as she shows me the correct technique to hit higher notes. I also use Skype as a replacement for Ventrilo when I am gaming. The only problems that I have really had were small connection problems that pretty much killed a game for us. However, it only happened once or twice. It does not really happen that frequently. I only use MSN to have a quick chat with people from HackForums, w8baby, etc. when I need to perform a business transaction or something. Another thing that I would liek to add to skype is the fact that I can use it on my iPod Touch. I found it pretty useful when I am showing my friends something or if I am in bed and am too lazy to get on the computer to talk on Skype. It's very convenient.
  10. For a typing job, I highly recommend writing articles for something like Triond, Bukisa, or something else like that. For every impression from an article that you get, you can make money. Some people make hundreds of dollars from writing articles. The cool thing is that if you sign up for both Triond and Bukisa, you can write article for Triond and then submit it to Bukisa. Bukisa allows you to upload your own articles (even if they are already posted somewhere else). Just make sure that you upload the article to Triond first otherwise Triond may not accept the article and flag it for copying from another source. If this happens three times, your Triond account may be banned. An alternative for this would be to write articles for your own blog. I would find this more profitable since you are probably going to make more than a few cents per month with an article. With a blog, you can embed Google Adsense ads, CPA ads, MyLikes advertisements, and many other services that pay you if your audience views the ad.
  11. I agree. With good monetizing techniques, people can make a ton of money from this website. I stopped using ShareCash about 3 months ago but when I did, I used YouTube videos, blogs, and different forums to get people to download my shareCash link. My advice is to create your own eBook and create a forum thread on other forums to advertise your eBook. If you make it sound good, people might want to check it out and download. This is how I got most of my downloads on ShareCash. About 6 months back, there was an Opera exploit where you could download your own files without having to fill out surveys. I earned around 40 dollars in a day with this exploit. sadly, the exploit no longer exists and was patched without a week.
  12. There is no such thing as the best money program. In my opinion, depending on your strengths, there are different money programs that will benefit you. Speaking generally, I believe that money programs including Liberty Reserve as their payout method can rack you a bunch of money. This includes money cyclers, forex trading, high yield investment programs, and OnBux. However, all of these methods are pretty risky and can end up in a net loss. If you do your homework and do extensive research on the different programs that you join, you will be in for a big treat.Money Cyclers are programs that pay you anywhere from 150-200% of what you invested. What they do is create a list of people that are paid. Let's say that Robert invests $1. For Robert to get $2 back, two more people need to invest. Once Bob and Will invest a dollar, Robert is out of the list. Will now needs two people to invest whereas Bob only needs one. AS you can see, these money cyclers are very beneficial. However, they only last for so long. The lists gets bigger and bigger and the wait time before payouts gets bigger and bigger. Because of this, money cyclers only last for about a month before they turn into a scam.High Yield Investment Programs are similar to Money Cyclers. Another word for them are called ponzi scams. What they do is offer a high return (for example, 140% after 7 days) for your investment. How they come up with the money is from new investors. I would avoid these sites at all costs but they can be very profitable if you are successful. I know some people who make $40 weekly through these sites (net profit). These sites need more research than the money cyclers. To see which HYIP sites are legit, you can look at different HYIP monitors that monitor the legitness of a program. You can also look for reviews in the comments of forums threads.
  13. There are very few methods that let you make quick money online. Money is not something that can be earned easily. That is why there are things called jobs. Most jobs require hard work. To start off with making money, I would recommend GPT (get paid to) sites that pay you to do different things like get paid to click, get paid to do surveys, or get paid to write. This will show you how most people make money online. When completing surveys online, most people make anywhere from 5-10 dollars an hour depending on how fast they can type. Those who use programs like RoboForm might even make more. So from get paid to do survey sites, the amount of money that you can make is somewhere near minimum wage. Another method that I would like to recommend is creating your own blog. This requires a lot more work and might require some prerequisite knowledge of WordPress/Blogger/etc. but anyone with a brain can accomplish this. With a blog, you can earn moneys through CPALead, google adsense, etc that put advertisements on your website. A successful blog can earn a few hundred dollars a month on autopilot. As well as making money through a advertisements, you can also make your blog about GPT sites so you can get referrals for them. That is two times the money. That is why I said to start out with GPT sites so you can see which ones are legit so you can start promoting them.Another way to make money can be through social engineering or through monetizing. An example of this can be to sign up for adf.ly and mask affiliate links and use social engineering and monetizing to get people to click on the links and signup for the program that you are promoting. If you play online games, you can use social engineering to become friendly with top players or rich players who are willing to give you items that you can sell on a website. Be careful becuase this is highly frowned upon even though it was the other player's choice to give the good items. A method I use to make money is to create a FileServe account and upload files. After that, you can create a YouTube account a create a video about the files that you uploaded. People will watch the video and click on the link and download the file. For every person who downloads the file, you can earn a few cents.If you have a lot of facebook friends or twitter followers, you can make money by posting statuses on facebook or tweeting new things through twitter. You can sign up for something called MyLikes which allows you to earn money for every person who clicks on the link that you put up. You can earn an average of 10-20 cents per click from the promotions. Let's say that you have 1500 facebook friends and you post a link from MyLikes and only 300 of your friends click on the link. That is anywhere from $30-60 that you made just from that one link. This is the same for twitter or any other service that you use. Facebook and twitter are not the only services that you can advertise the link on. You may also advertise the link on websites like your blog, your email signature, forum signatures (if they allow it), and lots of other places. The only thing that you cannot do is tell the person that you are giving the link to is to tell them to click on it. If MyLikes finds out that you are telling people to click on the link, they will ban your account and your money will be lost.Another alternative that you can do is Triond. Triond pays you to upload articles that you write, pictures that you take, videos that you made, and audio that you created. Every time someone views something that you uploaded, you will make some money. Something that I like to do is post research papers that I wrote for my history, english, or other classes onto Triond. Wouldn't it be awesome to make a few cents from homework? Also, you are not limited to write about any subjects. You can even write stories if you wanted to. I have written articles about music, computers, rants, and everything else that you can imagine. Something about Triond is that the articles that you have written will always earn money every month. Let's say you had 100 articles published on Triond and each articles averages 50 cents a month. You can make a steady income of 50 dollars a month! Imagine if you can write 10 articles a day for a month. You would have 300 articles at the end of every month. If you do the math, you could make 150 dollars in one month. Different people may make more or less. This is only an estimate of how much money you could be earning.
  14. I recently joined Points2Shop because I needed quick money for something. I have never liked Points2Shop before now, I will never visit it again. I did enough surveys to reach 10 dollars. When I went over to cash it out, I was banned for no apparent reason. My account was locked from pretty much all of the functions on the site. I could not look at the surveys, have access to the chat bar, look at my statistics, my referral page, etc. If someone wanted to make moeny from referral sites, I would recommend something like Rewards1 because they actually pay. The only reason why I joined Rewards1 is for the referral program. I have around 5 different videos that generate referrals for me racking me around 50 dollars a month on average. With Rewards1, I have been paid many times. At first, you have to wait a few days for your payment until you get your trust level up. Once you get your trust level up, all of your payments via Paypal are instant so you can cash out from the site whenever you have accumulated 5 dollars in your account. Not all pay-per-click PTC sites are scams. Most Aurora sites are not scams because the money you get from ads is relatively low. Even though there are about 30-40 ads to click on every day. The most that you can get from these sites is around 2-3 cents a day. There are 3 bux sites that I know are NOT scams and these are NeoBux, OnBux, and Cashium. All of them have established a really good reputation and you can earn about 12 cents a day through five minutes of work without any referrals. With referrals, you can make a WHOLE lot more money. I am not sure about how legit OnBux is now because I requested a payment from them about 3 weeks ago via Liberty Reserve. There are many reasons for this though. OnBux is currently manually reviewing accounts to see if they are honest before they send a payment to the user. OnBux claims that it would only take 7-10 business days before you would be accepted into the whitelist. However, that time had long passed. Also, the forum thread stated that the reviewing process would take more or less time because they are busy. My other thought was that since Liberty Reserve is not really a popular online payment processor, they might have low funds on that payment method. According to the forums, there are still a lot of people who are recieving a lot of instant payments from OnBux. This might be just me. A new update said that 72% of all of the accounts on OnBux have been accepted and put on the whitelist whereas 28% of the accounts are still being reviewed. I am starting to become skeptical of this program because it has been a long time and I have yet to see any money. I heard that even Gold members are unable to access any of their payments. I haven't even submitted a ticket to them. Those who submit tickets are put to the end of the line of the review process. Since I have not submitted a ticket, I do not understand why the process should be taking so long.
  15. Blender 3D is a program that lets you do 3D modeling. it is possible to create games with blender 3-D but it is extremely difficult. There are lots of classes that offer instruction on blender 3-D. It may take you anywhere from a few months to year before you're able to gather the knowledge to develop something like YoFrankie. Also, YoFrankie was a project that was completed by a team of a few dozen people. I think what the original poster is looking for is something like a map generator or a program that lets you create your own levels and play them. However, I would not suggest any "game makers" or anything of that sort. Those types of programs out produce quality content and would just be a waste of your time. I would suggest (if you're serious about this) that you pick up an easy language like Python and attached a graphics API like panda 3-D to develop your own game. Pirates of the Caribbean online and toon town both by Disney were developed in Python and panda 3-D.
  16. I believe that online school is actually pretty beneficial to many people. With online school, students who like to pursue different electives such as orchestra, band, photography, choir, and a lot of other fine arts classes. I know a lot of people whose schedules are jammed up so they are not able to participate in any of the fine arts classes that they wanted to. This dilemma was resolved with online classes. Online classes cleared up one or two classes for fine arts classes.However, many online classes offered do not offer honors/AP classes. This is a problem for many students who are planning to become college-bound through these advanced classes. Also, I saw that physical education was offered through online classes which does not make any sense at all. I do not see how you can take physical education online. It does not make sense. I realize that the classes how you to do some exercise but many people can just fake it.Overall, I believe that online classes are pretty beneficial to students. Depending on the students needs they will or will not need to take online classes. And if they do, the classes will be available for them to take at any time.
  17. An RTS game like Age of Empires is one of my favorite LAN games to play. Poker TN is also another awesome LAN game (it is both small and easy to setup and play). For me, I prefer to play small LAN games like Kong because there is less chance of trying to get games to work and more time to actually play the games. In my experience, my friends would come over but we would spend around an hour trying to setup the game when we could be playing another game the entire time. Idk but that is just my opinion about these types of games.
  18. Sadly, my sleeping pattern at the moment is terrible. I am currently enrolled in school (all honors/AP classes) so I come home always busy. I tend to be a huge procrastinator so I tend to wait to the last minute to finish work. Because of this, I sleep at different times. Some days I would sleep around 9:00 PM and other days I might sleep around 12:00 AM. Depending on the day, I will get around 5-7 hours of sleep which is terrible. I should really be getting around 9 hours of sleep for my age. Sometimes, I wish that the day was longer so I could get both my work and my sleep.
  19. This is absolutely ridiculous. I admit that the statistic is pretty interesting but no man should be a grandfather this early in life. These kinds of things send little messages to teens making think that is more okay to have babies during their teenage years. The number of teen pregnancies are increasing every year due to media and stories like this. What is sad is that people also miss out on a big chunk of their life when they have to take care of a baby. Teen mothers have to rely on other people's wealth and start to live in poverty later in life. They are also more likely to drop out of high school. According to Woman's Health Channel, 1 in every 3 pregnant teen obtains their high school diploma.
  20. Glee - Everyone loves this show.Naruto - One of my favorite animes ever! I stopped watching it at around Shippuden 80. I really want to find the time to finish the rest of the series.Neon Genesis Evangelion - I watched like six episodes but I got hooked. The soundtrack for this is pretty good.Maple Kombat - Pretty good series by dray86. I've been following it since 2007 when the first episode came out.
  21. I do not believe that measurement of temperature works like this. It's kind of like the color spectrum. You can't really take a value and double it. If you have a frequency of 300 (Near Ultraviolet) and double it, you get a Yellow/Orange color. Like temperature, it doesn't exactly work out.
  22. I really like Facebook. According to my web browser, I visit this site the most and the longest. I usually keep a tab open just for facebook and leave it open 99% of the time when I go on the computer. I use it to get help with homework, pass some time, chat with friends/family, etc. I think that the site is pretty convenient.
  23. Noooooooo. I would not go on a trip into deep space. It would be pretty cool but if I knew that I wasn't coming back, I would have to decline. The only way I would go would be under EXTREME circumstances (like I knew ahead of time that 2012 was going to happen). On the trip, I would probably just be filled with melancholy feelings as I am drifting away from friends and family. I wouldn't enjoy the trip as much as one would think.
  24. That is super neat. I didn't think that colors had an effect on people. I guess it's a subconscious reaction that every has. I always feel uncomfortable when in a room with a red/yellow/orange color scheme. I don't know if the colors affect me or if it is just a personal preference. I wonder if you could learn more about someone's personality just by asking someone what their favorite color is.
  25. My hobbies would probably include: C++ Programming (this is kind of my job but I guess I could consider it a hobby too because I have a side project that I am working on), 3D modeling (I just began learning how to work Blender 3D. I suck at it but I modeled and animated a virus), Music (I play the piano, violin, and vocals. I am quite serious about music. If I had to choose something to live with for the rest of my life, I would probably choose music.), writing articles (I like to write articles and post them on Bukisa or Triond.), FPS games (I like to play first person shooting games; I am an active gamer on Alliance Valiant Arms by Ijji and Combat Arms by Nexon), surfing the internet (I don't know if this is considered a hobby but I do it a lot), working on my personal site (I cheat and use WYSIWYG editors for my website but I don't think it matters. SEO doesn't matter since its mostly a site for friends and family to take a look at).
