Earn Money with NEO BUX

noreply@blogger.com (M Taha) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:13:37 PDT

Neobux is one of the hottest Paid to Click (PTC) which prelaunched in Late March till Early April. Its Alexa ranking has been moving up non stop since early May (official launch) and its current rank is around 5000. So what makes it so great? What drives people to visit Neobux and continue using it? Is it Neobux a scam or not?

This is the statement what we found in the popular sites forum.

But is this really scam or not? that is not clear.

Here is some datas that makes people clear is it scam or not ???

Min PTC : $0.01/$0.015 (This refers to the value you earn to click)
Min payout : $2.00 (This refers to the value you must have in order to cash out)
Referral Commission: 1 Level $0.005/ $0.01
Payout duration: INSTANT PAYMENT!!!!

Latest payment proof:

Friends let me talk about neobux the new hot online parttime business or job let us say.
This program is 100% affiliate program. It says earn through per click. But the main target is to make lots of members through referring program. That has been clear from the given rates. They gave you 4 ads in average per day to view. And their is clearly given the rates of viewing ads. $0.01/$0.015. It means your daily earning is 4*0.01=$0.04. That takes u around 1-5 minutes minimum. Now this program why people are so crazy about joining this program day by day in a large scale. Because this is 30 min job.

Now can a people afford this job. Can they survive doing this job. Think of your using computers and electricity bills. They are far expensive than what you earn from neobux.

So the only thing in this you have to do is refer others ie your friends and others to join through you. How much you make members that much your are credited if only they also do same as you. ie view ads and make others referral to them. ie every members you make should be active as you to survive. Because referral commission is : 1 Level $0.005/ $0.01.

now calculate how you can earn per day.

if you refer 1 member- $0.005*4=$0.02+$0.04=$0.06 is your real earning per day.
if you refer 2 members- $0.005*(4*2)=$0.04+$0.04=$0.08 is your real earning per day.
if you refer 10 members-$0.005*(4*10)=$0.2+$0.04=$0.24 is your real earning per day.
if you refer 50 members - $0.005*(4*50)=$1+$0.04=$1.04 is your real earning per day.

it means if you are serious and all the members you made are active then your approximate earning will be

if your refer 50 members - $0.005*(4*50)=$1+$0.04=$1.04*30=$31.2 will be your monthly earning.
may be so more if they are little more active.

Now to make 50 members you need more times. And also more use of computers and more electricity bills depreciation of machine ie computer and internet bill. Now think what to do and not to do. Friends if you are very serious you can make more members and for that you have to motivate them. Lots of pressure.

And more important thing - if you are not continuously viewing their ads or might be one of your member is not active ie not continuously viewing the ads you amount and your membership will be cut from them.

Optimize Your BitTorrent Download Speed

noreply@blogger.com (M Taha) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:07:20 PDT

1. Hack the max half-open TCP connections

If you’re on XP sp2, your TCP connections are limited to a maximum of 10. This might hurt your downloading speed because it wont let you connect to as much peers as you want. It is supposed to slow down viruses because their spreading strategy is to connect to a high amount of ip numbers, but it could cripple your torrent downloads.

A nice way to fix this is to download this patch.

Note: Some people report that their antivir reports the patch to be a Virus, This is not the case. Check out http://www.lvllord.de/ for more details on this

The patch allows you to set the maximum allowed connections to any number you want. Any number between 50 and 100 is ok (more is NOT always better).

Next you need to configure your torrent client to allow 50-100 max half-open TCP connections

uTorrent: Options > Preferences > Advanced options > net.max_halfopen

Bitcomet: Options > Preferences > Connection > max half-open TCP

Now you’re ready to go…

A third point of interest is that some “windows updates” revert your tweaked tcp connections back to 10. So it’s wise to check this every now and then. You can check this by going to (in windows xp) Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System… Look for event 4226 (sort by event).

For more details about Windows XP SP2 and Event ID 4226 read David Kaspar’s excellent post

If there are a lot of daily occurences it’s likely that the max amount of half-open tcp connections was set back to 10. Or you’re infected with some nasty spyware…

2. Torrent Client Configuration

In order to apply these tips you need to know your maximum up- and download speed. You can test your bandwidth over here (stop all download activity while testing). Also make sure that you applied the tips provided in our previous posts.

Note that there’s a difference between kb/s (kilobits/second) and kB/s (kilobytes/second). To be precise, kB/s = kb/s divided by 8. In this tutorial we use kB/s (like most torrent clients do). This means that you might need to calculate your max speed in kB/s yourself if the speedtest only gives you the results in kb\s (so divide by 8 then).

Settings 1-4 can be found in the options, settings or preference tab of most torrent clients.

1. Maximum upload speed

Probably the most important setting there is. Your connection is (sort of) like a pipeline, if you use you maximum upload speed there’s not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed.

Use the following formula to determine your optimal upload speed…

80% of your maximum upload speed

so if your maximum upload speed is 40 kB/s, the optimal upload rate is 32kB/s

But keep seeding!

2. Maximum download speed

Although setting your maximum download speed to unlimited may sound interesting, in reality it will only hurt your connection. If you still want to be able to browse properly, set your maximum download speed to:

95% of your maximum download speed

so if your maximum download speed is 400 kB/s, the optimal download speed is 380kB/s

3. Maximum connected peers per torrent

Yet another setting that you don’t want to max out. I experimented quite a lot with the max connected peers settings and came to the conclusion that both high and low number hurt the download speed of a torrent. The following setting worked best for me.

upload speed * 1.3

so if your maximum upload speed is 40 kB/s, the optimal amount of connected peers per torrent is

40 * 1.3 = 52

I didn’t noticed a difference for fast or slow connections here.

4. Maximum upload slots

1 + (upload speed / 6)

so if your maximum upload speed is 30 kB/s, the optimal number of upload slots is

1 + (30 / 6) = 6

3. More Tips

Check seeds and peers
A simple tip, but very important. Always look for torrents with the best seed/peer ratio. The more seeds (compared to peers) the better (in general). So 50 seeds and 50 peers is better than 500 seeds and 1000 peers. So, be selective.

Change the default port.
By default, BitTorrent uses a port 6881-6999. BitTorrent generates a lot traffic (1/3), so isp’s like to limit the connection offered on the these ports. So, you should change these to another range. Good clients allow you to do this, just choose anything you like. If you’re behind a router, make sure you have your ports forwarded (portforward.com) or UPnP enabled.

Disable Windows Firewall
It sucks. Windows Firewall hates P2P and often leads a life of it’s own. So disable it and get yourself a decent (free) firewall, Kerio or Zone Alarm for example.

Turn on Encryption
Encrypting your torrents will prevent throttling ISP’s from limiting your BitTorrent traffic. Check out how to enable encryption in Azureus, uTorrent, and Bitcomet, the three most popular torrent clients.

Optimize your internet connection
The TCP optimizer is a freeware utility that optimizes your internet connection. I found it very useful and it helped speeding up my connection for regular internet activity and for downloading torrents. Just download it, and move the slidebar to your maximum download rate (note that it’s in kb/s). Don’t try to set it higher because that will hurt your download speeds!

GRE® – Graduate Record Examinations

noreply@blogger.com (M Taha) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 06:51:56 PDT

The Graduate Record Examinations® (GRE®) General Test measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and critical thinking and analytical writing skills. The GRE® Subject Tests gauge undergraduate achievement in 8 specific fields of study.

In the graduate school admissions process, the level of emphasis that is placed upon GRE scores varies widely between schools and even departments within schools. The importance of a GRE score can range from being an important selection factor to being a mere admission formality.
For Details See Official Website

GRE Subject Tests

In addition to the General Test, there are also eight GRE Subject Tests testing knowledge in the specific areas of Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Literature in English, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology. In the past, subject tests were also offered in the areas of Economics, Revised Education, Engineering, Geology, History, Music, Political Science, and Sociology. In April 1998, the Revised Education and Political Science exams were discontinued. In April 2000, the History and Sociology exams were discontinued, and the other four were discontinued in April 2001

Preparation

A variety of resources are available for those wishing to prepare for the GRE. Upon registration, ETS provides preparation software called PowerPrep, which contains two practice tests of retired questions, as well as further practice questions and review material. Since the software replicates both the test format and the questions used, it can be useful to predict the actual GRE scores. ETS does not license their past questions to any other company, making them the only source for official retired material. ETS used to publish the "BIG BOOK" which contained a number of actual GRE questions; however, this publishing was abandoned. Several companies provide courses, books and other unofficial preparation materials.

XBOX 360 – Three Red Lights Death Repair guide

noreply@blogger.com (M Taha) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:38:25 PDT

Reasons why this happens:

When Microsoft designed the 360, they chose a slightly unusual way of mounting the heat sinks to the processors. When the console is running, there is a tremendous amount of heat build up inside the case. This causes the motherboard to flex against the X-Clamp support plastic (see picture 1) which in turn can cause the soldered joints on the processors to come away from the motherboard itself. This results in the Red Lights of Death. Due to the inefficient design of the heat sink clamping method, this is a very large problem. Although Microsoft haven’t (as of yet) come up with a decent design fix. On the latest ‘Elite’ versions of the console they have used epoxy resin to ‘glue’ the corners of the processors down to stop the flexing that causes this error (see picture 2). Whether their fix will stand the test of time remains to be seen. What the modification contained in this manual achieves is to alleviate board flexing and apply uniform pressure to the processors. This uniform pressure is enough to ‘remake’ the faulty joints resulting in a working console. Also, because the pressure on the processors is uniform the heat sinks do a much better job of dissipating the heat build up.

Create A XP Boot Disk from System Files

noreply@blogger.com (M Taha) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:13:40 PST

As a hedge against being unable to start XP, you can create a boot disk specifically for Windows XP that may allow you to boot the operating system. This can occur when the active partition boot record or other required files become corrupted.

Using Windows XP, place a blank floppy in drive A and format the disk. Navigate to the root folder of the system (in most cases this will be C:\) and copy the following files to the floppy disk.

Boot.ini
NTLDR
Ntdetect.com

If you can't see the files, click [Tools] and [Folder Options...] in the Menu Bar of Windows Explorer. Click the [View] tab and click the radio button next to [Show Hidden Files and Folders]. Remove the check mark next to [Hide Protected Operating System Files (Recommended)] then click [Apply] and [OK]. The files should now be visible in Windows Explorer. If the files still cannot be copied, right click each file, click [Properties] and remove the checkmark from the Read-Only attributes. Reset whatever attributes were unchecked after the copy procedure is completed.

In addition to the files listed above, check the same directory for bootsect.dos and ntbootdd.sys files. If they are present on your system, copy them to the same floppy diskette.

The disk is used as any other boot disk, inserting it into the floppy drive (A:\) and initiating a cold boot. Make sure the BIOS is set so that the A:\ drive is first in the boot sequence.

World Economy

noreply@blogger.com (M Taha) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:03:34 PST

The world economy can be evaluated in various ways, depending on the model used, and this valuation can then be represented in various ways (for example, in 2006 US dollars).

It is inseparable from the geography and ecology of Earth, and is therefore somewhat of a misnomer, since, while definitions and representations of the "world economy" vary widely, they must at a minimum exclude any consideration of resources or value based outside of the Earth.

For example, while attempts could be made to calculate the value of currently unexploited mining opportunities in unclaimed territory in Antarctica, the same opportunities on Mars would not be considered a part of the world economy – even if currently exploited in some way – and could be considered of latent value only in the same way as uncreated intellectual property, such as a previously unconceived invention.

Beyond the minimum standard of concerning value in production, use, and exchange on the planet Earth, definitions, representations, models, and valuations of the world economy vary widely.

It is common to limit questions of the world economy exclusively to human economic activity, and the world economy is typically judged in monetary terms, even in cases in which there is no efficient market to help valuate certain goods or services, or in cases in which a lack of independent research or government cooperation makes establishing figures difficult.

Typical examples are illegal drugs and prostitution, which by any standard are a part of the world economy, but for which there is by definition no legal market of any kind.

However, even in cases in which there is a clear and efficient market to establish a monetary value, economists do not typically use the current or official exchange rate to translate the monetary units of this market into a single unit for the world economy, since exchange rates typically do not closely reflect world-wide value, for example in cases where the volume or price of transactions is closely regulated by the government.

Rather, market valuations in a local currency are typically translated to a single monetary unit using the idea of purchasing power. This is the method used below, which is used for estimating worldwide economic activity in terms of real US dollars.

However, the world economy can be evaluated and expressed in many more ways. It is unclear, for example, how many of the world's 6.5 billion people have most of their economic activity reflected in these valuations.

Speed Up Mozilla Fire Fox Amazingly Fast

noreply@blogger.com (M Taha) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:11:40 PST

Hello Everyone,I am back with another trick that will help you out in having faster internet experience.Here is how you can speed up your Mozila Firefox web browser.

1)Open up the configuration variables by typing “about:config” in the address bar and pressing “Enter”.

2) Search for “network .http.pipelining” and set it to “true”.

3) Search for “network.http.proxy.pipelining” and set it to “true”.

4) Search for “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” and increase it to value like “20 “.Basically, these changes allow the browser to make multiple page requests at the same time.

5)Finally right click any where and slect "NEW" then "INTEGER".Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and click "OK".Now it prompts for its value enter "0" (without " " ).This is the delay time for display the loaded page in miliseconds.By default its value is 250 ms.

Advance Users Settings

For Broadband:

network.http.max-connections : 64
network.http.max-connections-per-server : 21
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 8
network.http.pipelining : true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests : 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining : true

For Dial-up:

browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl : true
browser.xul.error_pages.enabled : true
