make money with crew BUX

  • What is Crewbux.com?
    Crewbux.com is a new innovative, international and FREE English based service that allows advertisers to reach thousands of potential customers by displaying their ads on our, "View Ads" page.
  • How does it work?
    You view websites in a few seconds via the "View Ads" page. Once the few seconds is up, you'll either get a green tick sign or a red 'X'. The green tick sign means you've earned money for the visit and the 'X' means you have not earned money for the visit. You'll get red X's when you have more than one website from the "View Ads" page open. When this happens, you get no credit.
  • Can other people in my household join?
    As long as they each have their own computer, PayPal account, AlertPay account and e-mail address. As far as cheating goes, our software detects users who create fictitious accounts and use the same computer so if someone else in your household wants to join and will legitimately use their account; you shouldn't be flagged for abuse.
  • Can I have more than one account?
    No. There is no need to maintain more than one account. If you've lost your login information, you can request to have it sent to your e-mail address. If you are caught with more then one account open (we have a very strict auditing process before payments are sent) your account(s) will be terminated, your ip address(es) will be banned and you will not receive any earnings.
  • My network, school or ISP all use the same or randomly used IP addresses, can I join?
    Yes, this is fine. The same general rule applies from the previous question.
  • How much money can I make?
    There is no limit in the amount of websites you visit or referrals that you obtain. Your earning possibilities are virtually endless.
  • How do I refer others?
    Use your unique referral code found within the user area "My Stats".
  • I can't see any ads!
    If you see no ad links on the "View Ads" page but you DO see stats on the right hand side then you need to disable all antivirus and antispyware/adware programs. If this doesn't work, try cleaning your cache, temp files, cookies, etc. If you're still having problems after all of that, try changing or updating your browser.
  • My stats aren't updating!
    This is either because your browser is saving the page in it's cache or you're not waiting for the dollar sign to appear after the timer is complete. Try cleaning your cache, temp files, cookies, etc. If you're still having problems after all of that, try changing or updating your browser.
  • I keep getting "Invalid verification code entered." when I try to register or login!
    First, make sure you are correctly typing in the verification code. If you are typing in the correct code and still having problems then it's something to do with your browser caching the previously used session image. Try cleaning your cache, temp files, cookies, etc. If you're still having problems after all of that, try changing or updating your browser.
  • How often are the statistics updated?
    Stats are updated immediately.
  • How do I get paid?
    If you have the minimum amount accumulated, you can click on your account balance within your stats area and it will submit your request. Currently, we only make payments via PayPal and AlertPay. We will soon be using other methods of payment.
  • When do I get paid?
    You can request for payment once you're account balance is the minimum amount accumulated. Your payment will be processed and issued via PayPal and AlertPay within 7 business days or less.
  • What is PayPal?
    PayPal is the payment processing solution that we use to pay members. Your PayPal address is the e-mail address you use to register with PayPal. You can get a free PayPal account at www.paypal.com.
  • What is AlertPay? Alertpay is the payment processing solution that we use to pay members. Your Alertpay address is the e-mail address you use to register with Alertpay. You can get a free Alertpay account at www.alertpay.com
  • Why did I get paid less then what I was owed?
    If you have a business account with PayPal, they charge a 2.9% transfer fee plus an additional $0.30 base fee when you receive funds.
  • How can I cancel my account?
    Inactive accounts are automatically cancelled after certain time.
  • Why I have to click twice to see the green tick?
    Check your antivirus, antispyware/adware programs, your browser settings for cookies and java script acceptance. If this doesn't work, try cleaning your cache or reboot your computer.

trik untuk menghindari kekacauan ketika login sebagai root

Keamanan Root

Account root memiliki akses penuh terhadap keseluruhan sistem. Ingat jangan menggunakan account root dengan sembarangan. Gunakan account root hanya untuk mengerjakan suatu pekerjaan khusus saja dan lakukan dalam jangka waktu yang tidak terlalu lama. Biasakan untuk menggunakan account pengguna biasa untuk menjalankan aplikasi sehari - hari. Bahkan kesalahan terkecil yang dilakukan pada saat login sebagai root dapat menyebabkan kekacauan yang fatal.

Beberapa trik untuk menghindari kekacauan ketika login sebagai root:

· Ketika mengetikkan beberapa perintah yang kompleks, cobalah untuk menjalankannya pertama kali dengan cara yang aman, khususnya perintah yang menggunakan globbing. Anda dapat juga menggunakan echo di depan perintah yang anda ketikkan, sehingga anda yakin bahwa anda benar - benar ingin menjalankannya.

· Menyediakan pengguna dalam sistem anda dengan alias standar (alias rm='rm -i' ke perintah rm untuk memberikan konfirmasi mengenai penghapusan berkas.

· Jadilah root hanya untuk melakukan pekerjaan tertentu saja. Jika anda ingin mencoba sesuatu, cobalah dengan login pengguna biasa sampai anda yakin apa yang akan anda lakukan dengan login root.

· Variabel path untuk root sangat penting. Cobalah batasi isi variabel path perintah untuk root dan jangan memasukkan "." (direktori saat ini) ke dalam variabel path. Jangan pernah memberikan izin akses tulis ke dalam direktory yang ada di variabel path, supaya pengguna lain tidak bisa memasukkan berkas binary lain yang bisa membuatnya menjadi root setelah anda mengeksekusi berkas binary tersebut.

· Jangan menggunakan perangkat lunak tools rlogin/ rsh/ rexec sebagai root. Karena perangkat lunak tersebut mudah diserang oleh penyusup. Jangan pula membuat sebuah berkas .rhost untuk root.

· Dalam berkas /etc/securetty terdapat daftar terminal di mana root dapat login. Berhati - hatilah apabila anda ingin memodifikasinya. Sedapat mungkin login-lah sebagai pengguna biasa, dan gunakan perintah su untuk mendapatkan akses lebih.

· Terakhir cobalah untuk bersikap tenang dan berpikir jernih ketika login sebagai root. Apa pun yang anda lakukan sebagai root akan sangat mempengaruhi banyak hal. Karena itu berpikirlah sebelum anda melakukan hal bodoh yang dapat merusak seluruh sistem.

Enhanced Tool Tips

The new Microsoft Office system user interface dramatically streamlines access to information about commands and tools. Enhanced ToolTips provide links to auxiliary information, such as training or help topics, directly from the command. You no longer have to discover the name of a command, open the Help window, and type in the command name—the link is now built into the user interface. This in-context information helps you learn unfamiliar functionality quickly. Because commands are organized according to the way you work, you can easily find and take advantage of the new and advanced capabilities in the 2007Microsoft Office System. With its streamlined look and dynamic Galleries, the new user interface helps you spend less time figuring out how the programs work so you can spend more time on content and analysis.

Looking for a Windows XP Compatible Driver?


If you can't find a driver for a hardware device under Windows XP, you can try to use a Windows 2000 compatible driver for the same hardware. Usually this tends to work, and in my experience so far, it always has. However, if you can find a driver specifically designed for use with Windows XP that is usually the best and safest option. You can also e-mail the hardware manufacturer and ask them about Windows XP compatibility and drivers.

Getting Started Adobe Photoshop

About Photoshop:

Adobe Photoshop is hands down, the most popular program for creating and modifying images for the web. Even those who don't have Photoshop can download the tryout version from www.adobe.com and follow much of this tutorial.

Section 1 - Getting Started

When you open Photoshop, the Photoshop desktop appears. The following components should be visible: top menus, options bar, image window, palettes, the status bar, and toolbox.

Menus

Photoshop menus (File, Edit, Image, Layer, Select, Filter, View, Window, and Help) appear at the top of the desktop. Click on a menu name and its menu items will appear.

Options Bar

The options bar appears right below the menus. Options for the tool that is currently selected in the toolbox appear in the options bar. The following example shows options for the Type tool.

Image Window

The image window/s houses the photo or graphic files you plan on editing.

Palettes

You can display or hide palettes by going to the Window menu (please note the layers palette).

The Status Bar

The status bar at the bottom of the Photoshop desktop provides information about your file and current activity.

Toolbox

The toolbox contains the tools you use to work with images in Photoshop. To use a tool, click on its icon in the toolbox. For the most part we will be concentrating on the marquee tool, move tool, paint bucket and color selection palette.

Tips for Keeping Your Children Safe Online

By Sharon Housley

Parents are constantly struggling with ways to keep their children safe online. The Internet has a global reach and at this point no bounds, or limitations. Outside of installing filtering software children should be educated in order to protect themselves to this virtual monster. We've put together a collection of ten tips that should be observed while surfing online. At the very least these tips will prompt family discussions regarding safety.

1.) When on the internet personal information should be kept private. Just because someone asks doesn't mean you need to tell them. When someone asks for personal information, consider how they might use that information and whether it is necessary for them to have it.

2.) If you are conversing with someone online, don't assume that they are being honest with you. Just because they say they're 16 doesn't mean they are.

3.) Do not release your password to anyone, even if they say they are from your online provider.

4.) Overall it is best not to respond to unsolicited e-mail (SPAM), if there is something flagrant or inappropriate in the e-mail, consider reporting the sender to their Internet Service Provider (ISP).

5.) Do not give out or post identifying information, including address or telephone numbers.

6.) You may want to create a nickname for a screen name in chat rooms.

7.) Keep in mind when posting in chat rooms or newsgroups, that there may be lurkers (people who read but do not post). Your information can be read and seen by all.

8.) Keep an open dialogue with children surfing the Internet, remember if they come to you with a problem, your first reaction should not be to take away the Internet. Applaud child's confidence in confiding in you and work together to find a solution.

9.) Overall it is not a good idea to post or exchange pictures over the Internet

10.) Try to keep in mind the Internet is global and is *not* governed by any entity. This means that there are no limitations or checks on the information posted and accessible to Internet users.

Cool Remote

http://vyskocil.free.fr/coolcom/

You need a: Palm PDA, a Palm serial cable, and a Coolpix serial cable. You also need a NULL modem and possible a gender changer, since regular NULL modem cable having one end Male connector and other end Female. What you really need is a NULL modem with both ends Male type. I bought NULL modem and a gender changer from Radio Shack; each costs more than $6.

After reading some posts about modification of USB cable to get a serial cable, I realized that I could modify the serial cable too. Basically, you just need to cut the connector open and switch positions of two cables (RD and TD are official names of the cables, which are connected to pin 2 and 3).

Actually you need to replace the connector with a new DB9 connector, which can be found at Radio Shack for a little over $3.

Detail Steps:

1. Cut open the serial connector side of Coolpix serial cable carefully, write down positions (connect to which pin) of each wire (wires are colored).

2. Cut or use a welder to disconnect the wires from original connector.

3. Weld the wires back to a new serial connector of solder connector type, remember switch the wires connect to pin 2 and pin 3 you write down in step 1

4. Use some silicon rubber glue/sealant as electric insulation and bonding.

Notes: Depends on the new connector you get, you may need to put a rubber or plastic tube to the serial wire at the end going into the connector, just to fill empty space there. Use black heat shrink tube to make it more professional.

_________________________________________

The Palm OS software is free, supports bulb and interval, and is available here: http://vyskocil.free.fr/coolcom/. The PDA buttons can be used to half-press, fully press (take the picture) and zoom in/out.

You will need the generic serial cable, either the Nikon SC-EW3, or its equivalent, made by Harbortronics: http://www.harbortronics.com/DigiSnap/SErialCAbleInfo.htm.

You'll also need a modem adapter (or cable) to match your PDA to the side of the SC-EW3 cable that would normally plug into your PC: the cable adapter includes the crossover functionality. A good source for those is: http://www.syncablesolutions.com

The total cost of this setup, assuming you already have a PDA (an "old" Palm III will do just fine) should be about $50, cheaper than the MC-EU1 or even the DigiSnap.

Disclaimer: I have no relationship with any of the vendors/products mentioned above.

PS: Once you have the SC-EW3 cable, you can also use it to attach your 990/880 to your PC and remap out those hot pixels, with the Cpixmap program found here (version 0.12 or later): http://e2500.narod.ru/ccd_defect_e.htm

Lock Computer vs Welcome Login Screen

You must go into Control Panel and open the "User Accounts" applet to change this setting. Click "Change the way users log on or off". For maximum security, uncheck the "Use the Welcome screen" option. This re-enables the use of the "Lock Computer" option from the ALT CTRL DELETE menu, but prevents multiple users from being logged on locally at a single time. This also returns to the Windows 2000 style login screen. If you'd rather have the ability to *not* be able to use "Lock Computer" and would rather allow multiple users to logon to the computer at a single time locally, leave this setting checked and also check "Use Fast User Switching".
