Does anybody have a cookie recipe for a personal web site?
If you know how to construct a cookie on a web site, would you mind describing the general procedure, without going into a lot of detail? Thanks in advance.
(I currently do not have my own web site. I just would like a better understanding of this type of spyware works.)
Answer: Cookies aren't spyware. If you want the site to keep data about the user, but not on the site, set a cookie with the data (login name, home page on your site, whatever data the user may want to not have to type every time s/he goes to your site). When a user connects to your site, read the cookie. If there is one (you can only read your site's cookie, not some other site's cookie), use the data you stored in it to log the user in, send hem/her to the right page, etc.

OP-ED COLUMNIST; Dullest Campaign Ever
A few weeks ago, Peggy Noonan wrote a column in The Wall Street Journal that perfectly captures my attitude toward this presidential campaign: Its incredibly consequential and incredibly boring all at the same time. Since then, Ive come up with a number of reasons for why it is so dull. First, intellectual stagnation. This race is the latest - David Brooks Op-Ed column contends that the presidential election, for all its historical importance, has become incredibly dull to observe; cites several possible causes, including tired political rhetoric, a lack of policy innovation and a huge focus on negativity.

Answer: How to Start Your Own Newspaper with only your home PC and little or no startup cash
By markhillis, eHow Member
User-Submitted Article
Once upon a time, it took loads of heavy, expensive equipment to publish newspapers. Now it's as easy as can be, utlizing your own PC and the printing services offered at most large daily newspapers. You can create your own weekly community newspaper OR specialty newspaper and boost your income while working from home. I DID IT!
Instructions.Things You'll Need:
A Good Home PC and lots of drive.
Average typing ability.
1.1
Look at your community. What type of newspaper is needed? Is there a region, or a community that doesn't get great coverage in the local papers? Is there a growing tourist industry and the need for a specialty paper to target that area? There are tons of possibilities. Do some research. A good community paper that sticks to one area and group of people can become extremely well accepted.
2.2
Using your computer and printer, create a dummy page/pages to be used to go out and pitch your new product to potential advertisers. You will need this advertising base (including some pre-sold ads) to fund your first print job. Go to businesses and sell advertising and even individuals who may want to utilize your classified ads. I will give resources at the end of the article which give you more detail on creating a dummy page and what program to use in your PC.
3.3
Locate a local printer; usually it will be your local, large, daily newspaper. Ask them for a quote on your first issue. Have a general idea of how many pages. This is called WEB PRINTING (nothing to do with internet!) It is a type of printing which produces large, newspaper sized pages. You will also decide upon what size newspaper, whether tabloid or full size (broadsheet).
4.4
Go out and find interesting people and places...write articles for your first issue. Feature stories about real life people and their hobbies or unique lives will always sell papers. Cover local sporting events, school functions, even put in kids birthday party news, etc. In the future, these 'homey' type papers will remain viable while larger national and international newspapers will continue to decline due to the internet. There is a certain respect that goes with being an editor of a newspaper, and you will find that doors will be open to you. People will come to you with stories they think should be written and local governmental decisions that need to be covered.
5.5
Put together your first paper and have it printed. You will have to decide what type of delivery you're going to have, such as mail subscriptions and/or sales racks. Home delivery is still an option also. There are many other things to learn, which I direct you to under "resources" at the bottom of this page. But suffice it to say that you can do it! You don't have to have a degree in journalism, just a love of creating and writing. You can utilize friends and family to help sell advertising and you don't have to quit your job...at least in the beginning. It depends on how large you want to grow your paper.
6.6
There are many benefits and much reward to this career. I have simplified the steps in order to stress that you can do it without start-up money if you already have a good computer and printer. Please see the resource at the bottom of this page to get started on the most exciting project of your life!

Where do visual artists end up after graduating Art School and not becoming nationally famous?
Do they end up working at Wal-mart ? Are they trying to survive as free lance artists, setting up their own web-sites and posting on Deviant Art?
The artists who Ive heard about are only famous (or locally known) by the grace of God and nothing more. They were just lucky. So what happens to the millions of others?
Answer: no once youve gotten into art school, you've gone pretty far with your career already. you dont even have to go to art school. i know plenty of self-taught artists that make a living doing this and never even gone to school. of course the general public has no idea who they are, but by the time u graduate, there is a good chance a lot of the artists already have had job offers as graphic designers or doing cd covers and such.
the millions of others, well lets face it we're all not that lucky. but no a very small amount of them resort to wal-mart to pay the rent. they usually go off as freelance or start their own gallery.

How to make my own computer a web server?
Guyz I wanna make my own computer a web server. I have Latest Apache web server. I downloaded and tried but I couldnt make to use it. Can anybody help me out? And is it compulsory to put a credit card no in Microsoft Office Live. Cant we use it anyway? Can anybody help this out also?Plz
Answer: You can host your own web site at home, and I'll tell you exactly how! But it might not save you much money, and it definitely won't save you time. So give it serious thought before you proceed... unless your goal is simply to learn about the technology and have fun!
The best reason to host your web site at home is to learn how it all works. For more information about the pros and cons, see should I host my own web site?
Warning: running a server of any kind at home is a security risk. Security problems are sometimes found in server software, and these can be exploited to gain access to or damage your files. Your computer must be kept absolutely up to date with Windows Update or the equivalent for your operating system if you intend to run a web server on it. If you choose to run Apache instead of Internet Information Server, you'll need to keep your version of Apache absolutely up to date too. This doesn't eliminate the risk -- it only minimizes it. You run a server at home entirely at your own risk. If you do choose to run a server at home, I recommend finding an old PC on the curb and setting it up as your home server, reducing the danger to your own computer.
Procedures for other operating systems are similar, and most of these steps actually involve your router, so this article should still be helpful to non-Windows users. Here are the steps to follow to set up a web site hosted entirely on your own Windows PC. First I'll present the general steps, then I'll break down the details for you:
1. Make sure you have cable modem, DSL or another high-speed connection. A dialup telephone modem is NOT good enough.
2. Get a DNS hostname for your home Internet connection.
3. Get a static local IP address for your computer within your home network.
4. Configure your router to correctly forward connections on port 80 (the HTTP port) to your web server. If your ISP blocks port 80, choose an alternative port number and forward that (or get a better ISP that welcomes web sites at home, like Speakeasy.Net).
5. Configure Windows Firewall to allow your web server to communicate on port 80.
6. Get Apache, a free, high-quality web server program. If you have Windows XP Professional, you also have the option of Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), which comes standard with Windows XP Professional. But that option only allows you to host one site. I recommend Apache.
7. Test your web server from your own computer.
8. Replace the default home page with your own web page. Now the site is your own!
9. Test your web server from a computer that is NOT on your home network to make sure you followed all of the steps correctly.
"I followed all the steps and I get my router's login page instead of my home page!"
You are trying to access your web site by name from behind your router (from one of your own PCs). With many routers, this does not work because the router automatically assumes any web connection to itself from inside your network is an attempt to log into the router's configuration interface. Test from outside your own network or have a friend do that for you. If you can access your home-hosted web site from someone else's computer, you don't have a problem. If you want to access your site from a computer behind your router, you'll have to access it at its static local IP address instead of by name.
And that's it! Now I'll present detailed information about each step.
Step One: Broadband
Get cable modem (from the cable company) or DSL (from the phone company and various other companies). If you can't do that, you'll have to host your web site in some other way. to grapple with video and audio files anyway. You don't necessarily have to go with your phone company's DSL offering -- Check out broadbandreports.com for independent reviews of cable modem and DSL companies. Upload speed, not download speed, is the most important feature for hosting web sites at home.
"How fast will my home-based web site be?"
The main limitation will be your upload speed (uplink speed). Most DSL or cable modem connections have an upload speed between 128kbps (128,000 bits per second) and 384kbps (384,000 bits per second).
So how long does it take to load your home page? Add up the size of your home page (in bytes), the sizes of all of the images on that page, and the size of any Flash movies (.swf files) or CSS style sheets (.css files) referenced by that page. Now multiply by 8 and you'll know how many bits make up your home page. Divide that by your upload speed and you'll have a rough idea how long it takes to load your home page under ideal conditions. There will also be latency delays slowing things down, and multiple users will of course slow things down and make it take longer. There is no fixed limit on the number of users who can access your home-based web site at the same time - things just slow down.
For more information, see my article how fast is my web site?
Step Two: Dynamic or Static DNS
Other people can't talk to your web site if they don't know the address... and if you have a typical cable modem or DSL connection, your address changes often. You can solve this problem by using a dynamic DNS service. Even if your IP address doesn't change, you still need someone to host a DNS server for you, unless you are willing to put up with giving users a URL that begins with a string of numbers. This is a common requirement both for hosting web sites at home and for hosting torrents, so I've written a separate article explaining how to get a hostname for your computer at home.
Step Three: A Static Local IP Address
If you have a router... and you do, if you have WiFi (wireless access) or more than one computer... then your computer receives a new local address on your home network, or Intranet, every time it is powered on. But to forward web browser connections to your computer, you need an unchanging address to forward those connections to. This is also a shared requirement both for hosting web sites at home and for hosting torrents, so I've written a separate article explaining how to give your computer a static local IP address.
Step Four: Forwarding Port 80
If you don't have a router (and you know by now, if you have been following these steps...) then you can skip this step and move on to the next. IF you have WiFi, or more than one computer, you definitely have a router and must not skip this step.
Now that you have chosen a static local IP for your computer, you're ready to configure the router to forward web traffic to your computer.
Again, this step is needed both for web hosting at home and for BitTorrent hosting. So, once again, there is a separate article explaining how to forward ports from the Internet to your computer via your router. Just follow the steps in that article to forward port 80.
Step Five: Allowing Web Traffic Through The Firewall
More firewall issues? Didn't we already do this? Only in part. Yes, your router serves as a firewall, but your computer also has a built-in firewall. You'll need to configure that firewall to allow traffic through on port 80 to reach your web server software. This step is also common to both web hosting and torrent hosting... so check out my article explaining how to allow traffic on specific ports through your computer's firewall.
Step Six: Get Apache Or Internet Information Server
Mac and Linux users: you already have Apache! MacOS X users should read Kevin Hemenway's great article on onlamp.com. Linux users: install the Apache packages and look in /var/www/html or a similar location for your web site folder. Apache is the most popular web server in the world, with nearly 70% of all web sites running Apache as of January 2006, according to the netcraft web server survey. Why is it so popular? Because it's free, open-source, high-quality software. And you can run it on your Windows box at home!
If you have Windows XP Professional, you can also run Microsoft Internet Information Server. It comes free in the box... but only with XP Professional (and high-end server versions of Windows). If you have XP Home, or an older version of Windows, go with Apache - and consider upgrading to at least XP Home for better network performance.
I'll cover Apache first. Then I'll look at Internet Information Server, which is also excellent and is available if you have Windows XP Professional or a high-end server version of Windows. It will only host one site per computer on XP Professional, though.
Windows 98 and Me users can use Microsoft's "Personal Web Server." However, this software went away with the release of XP Home, and it's not a popular choice. Since you can run Apache for free - the world's most popular web server, for businesses and individuals alike - I don't recommend suffering with PWS.
Apache Quick-Start Guide
Although Apache was born in the Unix/Linux world, it runs great on Windows too. In general, the newer your Windows, the easier it is to install Apache. Those with older versions of Windows, even Windows 95, can still run Apache but will have to jump through a few extra hoops. For complete information, check out the Apache Foundation's Microsoft Windows Apache installation tutorial. Since that article is a little old, you'll just have to bear in mind that instructions for Windows NT or 2000 also apply to Windows XP.
The following quick-start guide applies to Windows XP, but users of older versions of Windows can run Apache too... if they follow the extra steps spelled out in the Apache Foundation's Using Apache with Microsoft Windows tutorial to prepare their older computers to handle modern software installation and networking.
Upgrading to Windows XP Service Pack 2
Microsoft has fixed problems in Windows XP that create issues for Apache. Use Windows Update to upgrade your Windows XP system to service pack 2. You have probably already done this. If not, you need to do it in any case to fix many important security problems that have nothing to do with Apache!
Not sure if you have service pack 2? Do this: click on "Start," right-click on "My Computer," select "Properties" and look at the information presented under "System." You should see "Service Pack 2." If not, visit Microsoft's Windows Update site, using Interet Explorer, not Firefox... just this once! The Windows Update site uses special Active X controls to update your computer. Normally I don't encourage the use of Active X, but for upgrading Microsoft's own operating system from Microsoft's own web site using Microsoft's own browser, it's OK!
Downloading Apache
Visit the Apache HTTP Server Project home page. In the column at left, locate "Download!" and click on "from a mirror." The download page will appear. Scroll down until you locate the link to download the "Win32 Binary (MSI Installer)" distribution of Apache, not the "Win32 Source." That's raw source code for programmers - probably not what you want!
Click on the link for the "Win32 Binary (MSI Installer)" and wait for your browser to save the file to disk.
Installing Apache
Once the download is complete, you're ready to install the software. Double-click on the file you just downloaded on your desktop (for Firefox) or in your downloads folder (for Internet Explorer) to launch the installation program. The "Installation Wizard" window will appear.
First you'll see the "Welcome to the Installation Wizard" page. Click "Next" to continue.
Next, you'll see the Apache license agreement. The Apache license allows you to share the software freely, including the source code. Select "I accept the terms in the license agreement" and click "Next."
The "Read This First" page appears. Currently this page doesn't offer much specific information for Windows users of Apache. Click "Next."
The "Server Information" page should now appear. Be sure to enter the correct information:
1. For "Network Domain," if you registered a hostname such as myname.is-a-geek.com with DynDNS, enter is-a-geek.com.
2. For "Server Name," enter your full hostname, such as myname.is-a-geek.com.
3. For "Administrator's Email Address," enter a real email address for you that actually works. Users will see this when things go wrong. Bear in mind that spammers might discover this address, so use an address that is already publicly known if possible.
4. For "Install Apache HTTP Server 2.0 programs and shortcuts for..." select "for All Users, on Port 80, as a Service." This ensures that the software is always running, no matter who is sitting down at your computer. And a web site that is not always running is not very useful! So pick this option and click "Next."
The "Setup Type" page appears next. Select "Typical" and click "Next" to move on.
You'll see the "Destination Folder" page. By default, Apache installs in the folder C:\Program Files\Apache Group, creating a sub-folder called C:\Program Files\Apache Group\htdocs to keep your web pages in. These are good choices, so click "Next." Don't click "Change..." unless you know exactly what you're doing.
Finally, the "Ready to Install the Program" page appears. Click "Install" to kick off the installation process. The Apache server software will be copied into place and the Apache service will start up in the background. Along the way, a few Windows Command Prompt windows will flash up briefly. This is normal and you should let these windows do their thing and go away on their own!
If you do receive error messages, the most frequent cause is that Internet Information Server or another web server is already installed and "listening" on port 80, the standard HTTP port. Disable the other web server software and reinstall Apache.
The "Installation Wizard Completed" page should appear. Congratulations, you have a web server! Click on "Finish" to complete the process.
Internet Information Server Quick-Start Guide
You need either Apache or Internet Information Server (IIS). You do not want both.
Microsoft's Internet Information Server is a solid choice, and it is included free with Windows XP Professional. If you don't have XP Professional, or one of the server-oriented versions of Windows like Windows Server 2003, then IIS is not an option for you.
Installing Internet Information Server
1. Make sure you have Windows XP Professional! Click "Start," then right-click "My Computer." Choose "Properties" from the menu that appears. The "General" tab will appear. Under "System:" you should see "Microsoft Windows XP Professional." If you see Windows XP Home, Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 95, you will not be able to use IIS. Follow the Apache Quick-Start Guide instead.
2. We're ready to install the IIS software. Select "Start," then "Control Panel," then "Add/Remove Programs." Select "Add/Remove Windows Components" from the left-hand column.
A list of available Windows features appears. Check the box for "Internet Information Services (IIS)" and click "Next." If prompted, insert your Windows XP installation CD.
That's all it takes! Installing IIS is very simple because it is a standard component of Windows XP Professional.
Step Seven: Test Your Web Site From Your Own Computer
Is the web site working? Let's find out! The first test is to access your site from your own computer. On the same computer that is running the web server software, access the URL http://localhost/. You should see an example home page provided with your Apache or IIS web server software. If not, review the appropriate quick start guide above and figure out which step you skipped! If you received errors during installation, you need to resolve them before your web site will work.
Step Eight: Make Your Own Home Page
You have a web server, but right now the "content" on the site is just the default home page that came with the server software. Time to fix that!
All you have to do is move your own web pages to the appropriate folder. If you followed the Apache quick-start guide, your web pages belong in this folder:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\htdocs
If you followed the IIS quick-start guide, your web pages belong here:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
First, remove the files that are already in those folders. It's not smart to leave "default" files lying around. What if a security problem was found with one of these common files? Then your web site would be vulnerable.
Next, copy your own web pages and images into the folder. The "home page" of your site should be called index.html (not index.htm). Both Apache and IIS are smart enough to know that when a user visits http://yourname.is-a-geek.com/, they should act as if the user asked for http://yourname.is-a-geek.com/index.html and do the right thing.
For more information about making web pages and graphics, see how do I set up a web site?
Step Nine: Test Your Web Site From The Outside World
We did a lot of work here to give our computer a hostname on the Internet and forward web traffic through the router and firewall. Did we do it right? Only one way to be sure! Access your web site from a computer that is not on your home Internet connection, or have a friend try it. For example, if you registered the name myname.is-a-geek.com with DynDNS, your web site's address is http://myname.is-a-geek.com/. Try that address from a computer outside your home and see what happens!
If it works... great! If not, you probably made a mistake in dynamic DNS, port forwarding, firewall configuration or local static IP configuration.
"I followed all the steps and I get my router's login page instead of my home page!"
You are probably trying to access your web site by name from behind your router (from one of your own PCs). With many routers, this does not work because the router automatically assumes any web connection to itself from inside your network is an attempt to log into the router's configuration interface. Test from outside your own network or have a friend do that for you. If you can access your home-hosted web site from someone else's computer, you don't have a problem. If you want to access your site from a computer behind your router, you'll have to access it at its static local IP address instead of by name.
Another possible cause of this problem: you may have turned on your router's "remote router access" feature by mistake. People turn this on by accident because they think it has something to do with hosting a web site at home. It doesn't. Turn it off, it is dangerous! You don't want other people accessing your router and changing configuration settings.
Congratulations! You have your own web site on the Internet, hosted entirely in your own home. Just remember: your computer must remain on, and connected to the Internet, all the time. Without a web server, there's no web site. That's why, if you choose to host at home, I recommend picking up an older computer off the curb, dusting it off, popping in at least 128MB of RAM and firing it up as a web server. Your own PC doesn't wear out, and if security problems are found in the web server, they are more likely to be confined to the less important computer.

How to get a web page for my small business?
I want to publish my small business in the web. It should be able to get orders of my products and get online payments (credit cards, paypal, etc). I know there are companies that do this but I guess they are expensive. Can I do it myself? If not, do you know a low cost web design company?
Answer: Congrats and good luck first of all mate
You can definitely do it yourself and pretty cheaply. Credit card transations is a bit more on the complicated side, PayPal is much easier, at least in the beginning.
1) get a domain . I recommend godaddy.com
2) get a hosting account. I can recommend webhostingbuzz:

I've used a handful of webhosting companies and to be honest their support was the first that seemed to really be on top of things. Whichever hosting company you choose, I say go to the live chat at odd hours and ask presales questions and see what you think of the company. That is why I would pick webhostingbuzz (even over hostgator)
3) Get a paypal account. You will see a "Merchant Services" tab and you can generate your own link and button and PayPal will give you the HTML to use
4) If you know HTML, you can design it on your own. Otherwise you can use wordpress to get yourself going quickly (and then use html and graphics skills to really spice up the site). Wordpress is limiting if you want a lot of interaction with the user but it's good for general layout ideas.
There are actually some great HTML resources out there too. My personal favorite is Web Design Mastery because when I first bought it I was expecting to open up the book and learn HTML right away and instead the entire first book had NO HTML in it - all she talked about was what makes effective web design for marketing and usability - that was new to me and I really liked that approach

What type of degree do you need to become a web developer?
What type of degree would one need to become a web developer? Im finding conflicting information, some sites suggest a degree in computer programming, computer science or graphic design.
Which degree would offer the best training for such a career, one that requires both the knowledge of programing and design?
Thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate it.
P.S. I am looking towards a bachelors degree, I want to get in at least 4 years of college.
Answer: Depends what you want to do. You could learn a programming language, such as PHP JavaScript MySql, etc. Graphic design would do you good if you want to make the images for your website and such, some sort of technical classes could teach you how to host and use your own server..
Try to look for a description on your classes, I would say in general you should take Computer Programing, Graphic Design, and some sort of Business course to help ensure that you are doing everything correctly.
I would not take Computer Science because it has an indirect relation to what you want to do. According to Wikipedia, "Computer science or computing science (sometimes abbreviated CS) is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems.[1][2][3] It is frequently described as the systematic study of algorithmic processes that create, describe and transform information."
This is the more kind of algorithmic problem solving in computers, rather than creating websites.
If you want to host your own websites, you don't even require a degree.
If you want to get hired by a company, I would say a Masters, Bachelors, but I wouldn't shoot for a P.H.D. purely because it's a waste of time in this field, you will get accepted to any job with a Masters of Bachelors if you present yourself in a good way.
Best of luck!

Question about hosting my own web site?
I am interested in buying equipment to start my own web server (not pay another company for hosting). Im just curious what equipment would be required, how much it would cost, and if theres anything special Id need to do. Before I buy a book on the subject and get started, I want to get a general idea of if its doable. I went to college for Computer Science but this is a subject we never touched on. Thanks!
Answer: It's perfectly doable. I've been running my own web server for nearly 10 years. A server, especially a web server, is just a computer with specialized software, you do not need anything special in the way of hardware. My first web server was a second-hand MMX 200MHz computer that I got for $25.
You may be breaking your ISPs rules if you run your own server and you need to make sure nothing you don't own the copyright to is put on it - you are personally responsible for anything that is published.
You could buy a static IP address from your ISP but that's expensive, so you need to go to a company like DynDNS - http://www.dyndns.com/ - that lets you use a dynamic IP address.
If you want you can do what I do and host multiple sites on the same computer. You need to look up the web server software help files if you do this. If you're using Apache it's called virtual hosting.

Kurt Maetzig, German Film Director, Is Dead at 101
Kurt Maetzig, a pioneering figure in East Germanys socialist film industry after World War II who became one of the countrys most respected directors, not least for compelling Germans to acknowledge their Nazi past, died on Aug. 8 at his home in Germany.

What problems arises when we view our own culture as so superior to others?
I was would like to your veiw point. Because my teacher ask us this question and it really started a heated debate. (What problems arises when we view our own culture as so superior to others,that we refuse to accept ideas from other cultures?)
Answer: Edward Said has provided probably the best response ..in his text 'Orientalism'
he shows how the West has stereotyped all 'non Western societes and devalued and dehumanised the rest of the non-Western world, and also legitimated the colonial forms of oppression and the current post colonial inequalities that continue to construct the lives of people today ...a process that creates problems of perception for both the Westerners and the people they are stereotyping, in additon of course to the social construction, and false legitimation, of political economic inequalities across the world.
There are plenty of web sites summarising his work and showing how it has affected sociolgy in general
If you are interested enough to look further into this topic then R.W. Connells text 'Southern Theory'
examines the losses to sociological understanding that an over Westernised view of the world creates.
Good thoughtful question

Is there a web sight that is totally free to get information about inmates in Tracy state prison?
Is there a totally free web sight that you can get information on prison inmates at Tracy state prison that you dont need a credit card or a checking account? I need information about my husband that is in Tracy state prison but every sight i go into and try to get free information on my husband tells me i need a credit card or a checking account.
Answer: I must have misunderstood your question- Why would you need to look up information on your own husband? You already know where he is and I hope you know why- That seems like a good thing to know before you marry someone.
Unless you mean you want to be able to check on his welfare and safety?
Unless he's got an unusually kind counselor, I'm sorry, but you can't- that information is not made publicly accessable.... not even to immediate family, except in the case of a life threatening illness or injury.
California does not make specific information available to the public except as required by Megan's Law,and does not maintain a searchable database.

North Korea True to Form In Removal Of Official
SEOUL, South Korea -- In the first months of Kim Jong-uns rule over North Korea, Vice Marshal Ri Yong-ho was one of the officials most often seen with him. They inspected military barracks and reviewed parades together. Photos often showed the young leader leaning in to listen to the general, and laughing. Just a week ago, Vice Marshal Ri was seen - Analysts see the dismissal of Vice Marshal Ri Yong-ho of North Korea as Kim Jong-uns wielding his familys favorite tool of control, using and discarding the senior officials around him like pawns on a chessboard; dismissal comes as Kim has begun projecting himself as a leader self-confident enough to attempt significant departures from his fathers ruling style.

Whats the difference between graphic design and web developing?
I need to know this because I want to persue a career in freelance web design. When finding clients, do you keep your clients permanently (if they like your work) or is it all part-time or shirt-term? Are there any people with experience who can help?
Answer: Graphic design is making graphics in general and is not limited to computers....graphic design entails marketing in the real world, advertisements, etc.
Web development is, of course, programming websites for different clients.
A large company may hire you to be a full time webmaster....meaning you work at updating their own webpage constantly....some webmasters are freelance and can either be hired to do a one time web design for a person or company, or may be hired to make periodic updates.
Freelance web designers generally have several clients at once and work at home or their own office.
If you are a full time webmaster for a company you will generally work at the office of the company, such as the headquarters, and your main focus is solely to update and maintain their company website. (of course on the side in your free time you can have part time clients!)
Hope this helps :)

How are the general personalities of Maine Coon Cat and Norwegian Forest Cat different?
I know that each cat is an individual and is loveable in his/her own way. Im just curious about whether there are any noticeable personality or behavioral differences between an average Maine Coon Cat and a Norwegian Forest Cat. I went to a few cat fancy websites, but they really werent too forthcoming about this, whereas they were pretty chatty about a Persians or Siameses personality and quirks.
Thank you in advance for your help and insight.
Answer: I can not answer about the Norwegian Forest Cat. I can about the Maine Coons. The Maine Coon is a laid back cat, kittens are active and playful. Mine love lap time and grooming time. But this you have to start from the beginning and not wait till they need to be combed or brushed out. The same with nail clipping and this goes for any cat. Maine Coons are smart, and can be very goofy at the same time. Both are a natural breed meaning nothing has been changed to alter their looks. Maine Coons are devoted to their human parents and want to be with them. They will follow you room to room unless it is nap time. Really what you should do is call and talk to a breeder and ask them different question and write down what they say. Compare the 2 breeds and see what best suits you. Here are some web sites to help you also.

If you wanted to start your own web business, how much money would you need to get started?
If you wanted to start your own web business, like if you wanted to sell personal t-shirts and caps or something very small to start up from home, I was just wondering how much money would you need to get started. Would you have to get some sort of license? I have a great idea I think could make money on the web but I dont want to invest to much in the beginning.
Thank you for all the great info guys. I wish i could give you all 10 points but only one can get the points, you understand. This info youve given me is worth more than me giving you just ten points so maybe ill let the voters pick the one thats best... thanks again, this is very useful info! When i get my business started, ill send you my product free of charge!
Answer: The cost of a business on the Internet is reasonable as businesses go. Of course you must still do your research to find the best products to run your business. I will always consider myself fortunate to have found the best set of tools the first time out. I've made a video about that at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uMdLyQZC9s
I'll put a link in the resource box for the company I use.
As for a business license, that depends on your jurisdiction. Call your town hall, explain what you have in mind (in general terms) and they will tell you what that will cost. Usually the license is not much if you work from your home and will not generate traffic around your house.
Best wishes.

Is it legal to post a FoxNews transcript on my own web site including the original Fox News copyright notice?
Could be a transcript of a commentary, or interview etc... Also not Fox News specifically; Im looking for the general answer about the legality of posting media-backed transcripts including their copyright notice. The purpose of the site will be for annotation and analysis, not modifying the document.
Im starting to wonder now, if theres a difference if its a user submitted transcript versus a transcript posted by me the web-site administrator
Answer: No, but this doesn't stop most people on the internet. It would be legal to do a partial transcript and link to their website for the rest.
