Computer Game Buying Tips

Computer games are generally for an entertainment value, and can also be educational. Below we have listed several considerations to look at when buying a computer game.

Considerations

Demo
Today, a large majority of computer games that are released are also released as a demo and are available through computer game magazines or off of the Internet. If you are purchasing the game for yourself and have not seen or played the game, you may consider playing the demo (if available) before purchasing the game. The demo is generally found from the developer's web site.

Mass multiplayer
Mass Multiplayer games are generally an excellent choice for any advanced or new game player. These games generally are games where the player joins thousands, sometimes millions, of other players from all over the planet and build up their character, fight creatures, develop skills, fight other players, talk, and much more. While these games are generally fun and can be played sometimes for years, they do generally require a small monthly fee. This fee can be anywhere from $10.00 to $20.00 a month and help to maintain the servers, help with updates and maintain your account.
These games are also only available when connecting to the Internet and do not offer a single player option.

Multiplayer
Multiplayer is similar to Mass Multiplayer; however, these games allow the players to play with a few players (2 - 20 players generally). These are still fun and excellent games, and are generally games where you must either shoot and frag other players, or develop an online character by fighting creatures.
Unlike the Mass Multiplayer games, these games are quick and do not require hundreds of hours of game play and can generally be played as Multiplayer or Single Player.

Piracy
Piracy, unfortunately, is very commonplace in the computer gaming industry and Computer Hope highly recommends that it not be considered. While it has been easy in the past, gaming piracy has become more difficult. Users who pirate games may be forfeiting the ability to play with their friends online, not be able to receive updates for the games, and more importantly are not supporting the company of the game.
Users who let their friends pirate their games may also be forfeiting the same above rights. If you share your serial or ID number with a friend you may be giving up your right to play on-line as your number will likely become invalid.

Rating
The ESRB rating of a game determines how violent the game is; below is a listing of several of the ratings found on the majority of all games today. See our ESRB dictionary definition for additional information on ESRB and a listing of each of the ratings.

Type
There are several types of games. These games can vary from first person shooter to sports. Visit our game page for a listing of computer games and game types as well as a description on each of the game types.

Upgrade
When purchasing a software game, ensure that it is not an upgrade to an early version of the game. Many of the available updates will require that the previous version of the software be already installed on the computer.

How does virus infected your computer

There are so many ways a computer become infected by virus, spyware, or another malware. Below is the list of the most common ways a virus can infected your computer listed in the order we believe are most commonly done.

Pirating software

If you or someone on your computer is participating in underground community on the Internet where you're downloading copyrighted software, music, movies, etc for free, many of this files contain virus, spyware or malware. When downloading any type of software (programs, utilities, games, updates, demos, etc.), make sure you're downloading the software from a reliable source and that while installing it you're reading all prompts about what the program is putting on your computer.

Accepting without reading

By far one of the most common ways a computer becomes infected is the user simply accepts what he or she sees on the screen without reading the prompt or understand what it's asking. The examples:
1. When installing or updating software, you're prompted (often checkboxes already checked) then you just click the OK button without fully understand.
2. While browsing the Internet an Internet advertisement or window appears that says your computer is infected or a unique plug-in is required. Without fully understanding what it is you're getting you accept the prompt.

e-mail attachments

Another very common way the PC become infected with spyware or viruses is by opening e-mail attachments, even when from a co-worker, friend, or family member. E-mail address can be easily faked and even when not faked your acquaintance may unsuspectingly be forwarding you an infected file. When receiving an e-mail with an attachment, if the e-mail was send by someone you don't know simply delete it. If the e-mail is from someone you know be cautious when opening the attachment.

Didn't running the latest updates

Many of the updates, especially those associated with Microsoft Windows and another OS are security updates. Running a program or operating system that is not up-to-date with the latest updates can be a big security risk and can be a way your computer becomes infected. In addition to running operating system updates, the plugins associated with your browser can often contain security vulnerabilities. Make sure you have the latest versions of plugins.

No anti-virus scanner

If you're running a computer with Microsoft Windows it's highly recommended to have some anti-virus or anti-spyware software to help your PC clean from any infections and to help prevent any future infections.

Hard disk troubleshooting

Your hard disk drive, or also called hard disk, is a gigantic diskette in your computer. It is one disk big enough to store you Operating System, games and programs. Without it, your PC is just an empty shell. If you have a problem your hard disk here's troubleshooting steps to solve your problems.

Check Your BIOS
Better beware of older systems with large hard drives. If you have an older motherboard, your BIOS might not recognize hard drives larger than 2.1 GB. Hopefully, your BIOS is EPROM which means although read only (noticed the ROM?) it can be edited by authorized editors. Nearly all newer motherboards support that. All you need to do is to go online, go to your motherboard manufacturer's website and try to download a flash BIOS update. Install it and it should be done.

Are You FAT Enough?
If you have a large capacity hard drive with more than 2.1 GB, you might have a problem. Windows 95 itself will only recognize a partition with not more than 2.1 GB. You need FAT32. With FAT32, you can have one large capacity hard drive without partitioning. You will also save some space with FAT32. In short, larger hard drives require FAT32.

Consider Partitioning
Although you can have one big fat hard drive as one partition, you should consider partitioning as well, if you have a big hare drive. Partitioning is the method of dividing an area on a disk into smaller portions of lesser capacities that can be recognized by the operating system. Picture this: your hard drive is a cake. It is easier to eat a cake divided into pieces than to eat it whole.
Partitioning enables you to achieve greater efficiency and functionality from high-capacity disks (2.1GB or greater). You can create partitions by using FDISK on a system running in MS-DOS mode or by using a third-party disk utility. Remember that after partitioning, all data will be loss so be careful.
You can set aside a small partition for backup purposes. In case you should decided to format, just format the partition you use to store Windows. Your data in the backup partition is still there. But be careful! If you format a FAT32 partition with a FAT16 formatting utility, your partitions with data in it will all be loss! So never install DOS after formatting Windows. Because DOS utilizes FAT16, your FAT32 partition will all be gone.

Access Time or Seek Time?
If you want to buy a hard drive but are confused with the specifications of access time and seek time, remember that the key to the speed of a hard drive is the average access time. This is the time taken to access a single sector to the time when the drive's head reaches the sector. But beware, some ads quote seek time that is not the appropriate measurement. Access time is seek time plus latency (the time it takes for the chosen sector to come around to be positioned under the read/write head)

Speed Not Space
A lot of people are confused between speed and space. If you have a Quantum Fireball with 1.2 GB and a Quantum Bigfoot with 3.5 GB surely you should put the Bigfoot as the master and Fireball as the slave right? Wrong! You should always consider speed as well as space. The Quantum Fireball has a faster access time. A faster hard drive means better performance. Make sure your operating system is store in the faster hard drive. You can use the Bigfoot to store your programs or games which makes not much difference to the speed. With speed hungry programs or games, store them in the faster drive too. You must know what to put where.
The status of the drives is determined by setting small jumpers that are usually located next to the IDE connector on the drive itself.

How to make different keywords for Blogger post

In this articles you will learn how to make dynamic keyword or different keywords for each blogger - blogspot.com post. Meta keywords are very important to do better SEO for your blog. And you should know that Search engines look for different description and keywords for each page of your site. If you put the same thing across all pages of your site, search engines may regard this as spam.

To edit your Blogspot template
1.Go to Layout > Edit HTML > Check 'Expand Widget Templates', and don't forget to save a backup before you do anything..
2.Don't forget to remove those comments.
3.Replace those Static Blog meta tags content with the code in this post.

<br /><!-- Post Page --><br /><b:if cond="'data:blog.pageType"><br /> <title><data:blog.pagename/></title><br /><!-- Index Page --><br /><b:else/><br /> <title><data:blog.title/></title><br /></b:if><br />

So instead of using "data:blog.pageTitle" you use "data:blog.pageName".

But as far as I see at the very brief Blogger documentation. This is the only way to use labels as meta keywords..
Enough talking.. Here is the code to do it.. which you should place instead of the Head tag..!
The Code is commented and it also outputs the Title and Meta Description tags(using Post title) for your convenience.

<!--::::::::::: Block1: Output post meta keywords --><br /><b:if cond="'data:blog.pageType"><br /><b:section id="'meta1'" showaddelement="'no'"><br /><!-- widget must be a of Type = 'blog' to have posts data exposed, and must have a unique id --><br /><!-- Empty Includables(functions) to output nothing, You must keep them ): --><br /><b:widget id="'Blog2'" locked="'no'" type="'Blog'"><br /><b:includable id="'nextprev'/"><br /><b:includable id="'backlinks'" var="'post'/"><br /><b:includable id="'post'" var="'post'"><br /><b:includable id="'status-message'/"><br /><b:includable id="'comment-form'" var="'post'/"><br /><b:includable id="'backlinkDeleteIcon'" var="'backlink'/"><br /><b:includable id="'postQuickEdit'" var="'post'/"><br /><b:includable id="'commentDeleteIcon'" var="'comment'/"><br /><b:includable id="'feedLinks'/"><br /><b:includable id="'feedLinksBody'" var="'links'/"><br /><b:includable id="'comments'" var="'post'/"><br /><b:includable id="'main'" var="'top'"><!-- Main Function of Any widget comes with ID 'main' --><br /><!-- Loop Page Posts (only 1 in a post page )--><br /><b:loop values="'data:posts'" var="'post'"><br /><b:if cond="'data:post.labels'"><br /><!-- If the post has labels, make Meta keywords by looping lables --><br /><meta name="keywords" content="<b:loop values="'data:post.labels'" var="'label'"><data:label.name/><b:if cond="'data:label.isLast">,</b:if></b:loop>" /><br /></b:if><br /></b:loop><br /></b:includable><br /></b:widget><br /></b:section><br /></b:if><br /><!--::::::::::: Block1 END --><br /><head> <!-- THE HEAD --><br /><!-- must include(called) here to output other head sub elements --><br /><b:include data="'blog'" name="'all-head-content'/"><br /><!--::::::::::: Block2: Output Index Title,keywords,decription and Post Title,description --><br /><!-- Post Page --><br /><b:if cond="'data:blog.pageType"><br /><title><data:blog.pagename/></title><br /><meta name="'description'" content="'data:blog.pageName'"><br /><!-- Index Page --><br /><b:else/><br /><title><data:blog.title/></title><br /><meta name="'keywords'" content="'your,blog,keywords!!'"><br /><meta name="'description'" content="'your"><br /></b:if><br /><!--::::::::::: Block2 END --><br />

Some Issues you should be aware of:

1. Removes all
tag from both codes above. I'm too lazy to do it now :D

2. After Adding that code , you will get errors when trying to do anything in the 'Page elements' and clicking save. the Only solution is cut Block1 from the template & save, do what you need in 'page elements' & save. paste Block1 back in the template.
It is the only way, until Blogger.com pay attention to the issue!

3. Some Meta tags analyzers will warn you that they don't see meta keywords (Cause it was outside of the head).. But Most search engines would be able to find your meta keywords..
As you can see that's why I'm separating the code into 2 blocks:
first one outside the Head tag to output Post Meta keywrds.
Second one inside the Head Tag to output Title and meta description of all pages and meta keywords for index page; without the need of a widget. And in case an engine didn't like those meta keywords, you still have the title and description where they should be.

4. XHTML validation will give your warnings about these issues :
Meta Keywords tag Appears before the Head tag.
Why we have to put that code before the head tag? you have to ask ):
well.. You can't place a widget outside of a section, you can't place a section inside head tag. and Post lables must be called inside of 'Blog' widget.
Meta Keywords will be surrounded with Div tags which should not appear there.
why? Cause Widget and sections Tags are auto. converted to div tags by Blogger..!



Good Luck

How Weight Loss Helps the Heart

Losing a lot of weight rejuvenates the physical structure of the heart, and it makes no difference whether the weight is lost by surgery or by dieting, a new British study shows. The heart muscles of people who started with a body mass index (BMI) averaging 40 -- a BMI of 30 is the usual marker of obesity -- became noticeably thinner and more efficient when they brought their BMI down to 32.2 in a single year, according to a report in the Aug. 18 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

"Both diet and bariatric surgery led to comparable, significant decreases" in heart structure abnormalities and malfunction, the University of Oxford researchers reported.

Bariatric surgery is designed to induce weight loss by reducing the amount of food people can eat, the amount of food they can metabolize or both.

Weight loss averaging 21 kilograms (about 45 pounds), achieved by the 37 obese people in the study, "is typically what is seen after bariatric surgery," said Dr. Philip R. Schauer, director of the Cleveland Clinic Bariatric and Metabolic Institute.

Noting that many of the obese people lost those kilograms by eating less, Schauer called it "quite unusual for someone to diet with that effect. These were a very special subset."

And the problem with weight loss by diet is that "weight regain is the norm, whereas with bariatric surgery there is ample evidence that the weight loss is maintained," Schauer said.

The Oxford researchers used cardiac MRI, a special X-ray technique, to obtain detailed information on the structure of the hearts not only of the 37 obese participants but also of 20 normal-weight volunteers, whose average BMI was 21. They found that the walls of the left and right ventricles, the blood-pumping chambers of the heart, were significantly thicker in the obese people. They also found impaired ability of the heart to hold blood at diastole, the resting point of the heartbeat, in the obese.

A year later, after weight loss, the heart muscles of the obese people were less overgrown and the hearts could also hold more blood. Thickening of the aorta, the main heart artery, was also greatly reduced after weight loss.

"These findings provide a potential mechanism for the reduction in mortality seen with weight loss," the researchers wrote.

And it thus helps explain something of a medical mystery -- why people who are grossly overweight are more at risk of heart attack and sudden death than their numbers show, said Dr. Christine Ren, a bariatric surgeon who is an associate professor of surgery at New York University Langone Medical Center.

"Most of them say they are pretty healthy, maybe with a slight elevation of blood pressure, but when you really drill down to it you can show an abnormal cardiac function," Ren said. "The point is that their heart is not normal and that already is having a negative effect on their health."

Losing weight by dieting is desirable, "but the problem with diets is that statistics show maintenance of weight loss by diet is extremely difficult and quite rare," Ren said.

Bariatric surgery is expensive, costing anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000, she said, and it is not perfect. "There is always going to be 5 percent of these people who gain most of their weight back, but it still is the best chance of having significant weight loss," Ren said.

However, health insurance coverage of bariatric surgery is uncertain, varying from company to company and state to state, she said, and many plans are starting to put more limits on coverage.

These are proven techniques that will send fast cash into your bank account, even while you sleep. Put them to work for you and watch the money come rolling in. Follow these 3 quick and easy steps and you will be able to make money online like the pro's.

1. Use a Joint Venture to Jumpstart your Sales - Maybe you have a product but are new to the internet and don't have a list. You are interested in increasing your web site traffic and building your credibility to increase your sales. No problem, what you need to do is find someone in your niche market that has an established web site and a list of customers.

Use the search engines and references from other site owners to locate someone that might be interested in recommending your product to their customer list in return for a share of the profits. You need to make this a win-win situation for them. Understand that you are the one needing help, not them.

So when you approach them have the attitude of how this venture can benefit them and not you. Tell them that you think your product would be a valuable benefit for their customers. Give them a FREE copy of your e-book or your product to let them see for themselves. Make sure that you provide all of the marketing materials they will need, like ezine ads, articles, text links, and banners.

Most importantly, make it worth their time by giving them a minimum of 50% of the profits for utilizing their list. You need to understand that their list is the heart and soul of their business and that they will only recommend products to their customers that they feel will benefit them. As a list owner you can not afford to risk your reputation on low quality products. A joint venture is a great way to jumpstart your sales and will lead to more profitable joint ventures in the future!

2. Give Something Away to Profit in the Future - One of the best ways to secure huge amounts of profits is to give something away to your web site visitors.

This does two things, the first, it is a great way to get their trust and secondly, by giving them a taste of what you have to offer many of them will end up buying the whole meal. A great technique to use, especially if you have an information product like an e-book, is to give away a free report or mini-course related to the topic of your information product.

This will allow you to get their email address so you can send them follow up emails promoting your product, or other people's products like in example 1. You are also building a list of people that have an interest in your niche market. If they like your material they will come back for more!

So give away a free email report or mini-course, you can even put links to your products or affiliate products in the free report, so it becomes an income stream. If you will give away something to get their interests peaked and their trust heightened it will lead to greater sales in the near future.

3. Market Someone Else's Product - If you have your own web site, or even if you don't, you can find an affiliate product that is relevant to your market and sell it for a commission. Many of these affiliate programs pay as much as a 75% commission on sales.

Here is an easy tactic you can use to sell your affiliate product. If you have your own site then put a text link in a highly visible area on your website. The middle of the page, top right, or bottom right seem to be prime web site real estate.

Make sure to use a text ads instead of a banner, they convert better! When you write your text, do so in the form of a recommendation for the product. This technique usually works the best because the people that come to your website consider you an expert on your market.

Put more than one text link on your web pages. What draws the attention of one person may not another. So always write two to three text link ads and put them on various places on each of your web pages.

In closing, you can put these simple but powerful techniques to work for you and begin earning money online overnight. They are not hard it just takes a little gumption to get started. When you see the results start rolling in you will realize it was worth the effort.

Sending internal traffic to your important page

If you’ve optimizing your web or blog pages for maximum conversions, you can also send over visitors from other pages of your site. You’ve already done the work to make the pages incredibly relevant and usable, they shouldn’t just be seen by search engine visitors. If your web pages are related, by sure to interlink each one so that each visitor is funneled to another optimized page. This not only improves your bounce rate but makes sure if they aren’t persuaded the first time around, that each visitor is given two opportunities to convert.

You can use a script to autolink specific anchor keywords or phrases on your entire site to the specific web page (you can use this method on wordpress blog). This helps with SEO and is very easy way to get more eyes on your money page. If you’re using Wordpress, try the Internal Link Building plugin or the SEO Smart Links plugin. Both help to auto-link keywords on every page of your blog.

If you’re a blogger producing content daily, endeavor to link to the important pages whenever it’s pertinent to your post because you’re driving traffic to pages that will perform well. There is an alternative way to highlight your money pages: Group the ones about a similar topic together and list them all in a reference page, which will funnel traffic out to different locations. Instead of linking to each individual money page, you can just link or promote the reference page, which will then direct the visitors you get to each money page simultaneously. If you doing this correctly then you can make more money from your blog.

Hand-Washing

Hand-washing is a simple and effective way to help prevent diseases, such as colds, flu, and food poisoning.

Washing hands:

* Often, especially during cold and flu (influenza) season, can reduce your risk of catching or spreading a cold or the flu.
* Before and after preparing or serving food reduces your risk of catching or spreading bacteria that cause food poisoning. Be especially careful to wash before and after preparing poultry, raw eggs, meat, or seafood.
* After going to the bathroom or changing diapers reduces your risk of catching or spreading infectious diseases such as salmonella or hepatitis A.

Wash your hands after:

* Touching bare human body parts other than clean hands and clean, exposed parts of your arms.
* Using the bathroom.
* Coughing, sneezing, or using a handkerchief or disposable tissue.
* Eating, drinking, or using tobacco (for example, smoking).
* Handling soiled kitchen utensils or equipment.
* Handling other soiled or contaminated utensils or equipment.
* Handling or preparing foods, especially after touching raw meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, or eggs.
* Changing diapers, handling garbage, using the phone, shaking hands, or playing with pets.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the following steps for handwashing:

1. Wash your hands with hot running water and soap. Children should use warm running water.
2. Rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds.
3. Pay special attention to your wrists, the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your fingernails.
4. Leave the water running while you dry your hands on a paper towel.
5. Use the paper towel as a barrier between the faucet and your clean hands when you turn off the water.

If soap and water are not available, use gel hand sanitizers or alcohol-based hand wipes containing 60% to 90% ethyl alcohol or isopropanol. Most supermarkets and drugstores carry these products. Carry one or both with you when you travel, and keep them in your car or purse.

If using the gel sanitizer, rub your hands until the gel is dry. You don't need to use water. The alcohol in the gel kills the germs on your hands.

This provides an improved user experience for all and can result a host of benefits like more referral/citation links and greater visitor loyalty/trust.
