Should I leave my Computer On or Off ?
Unlike most PC Users, I have 30 years experience in computers and related Electronic engineering.
So what do I do ??
The correct and best thing for the environment, the computer and it’s component circuits.
I TURN IT OFF!
Leaving it on for days on end to supposedly protect some 5cent switch or 5$ chip, is wasteful to the extreme.
Yes thermal shock ,can damage fragile circuits especially CPU’s , but is rarely the cause of failures in CPU’s. Main problems causing CPU failures is Heat stress and Voltage spikes. CPU’s do not like heat, do not Overheat them , Overclocking is MADNESS. If you don’t need the computer on ,turn it off, the Power switch is there for a reason.
The best way to ensure your power supply doesn’t die is to ensure it has a sufficent rating for your computer. Too many PC’s are still equipped with 300W Power Supplies. Add an extra Dvd / HDD to your computer won’t stress it much. Add in that latest NvidiATI Super GS1000gts-XIO crossfire VIdeo Card(s) and watch the poor little PS die an early death. A PS with a 500W – 1000W Rating will make it a Happy PC.
Add as many fans to your PC as you can fit. Ensure it is has adequate ventilation. DO not smoke near it. Open case and remove dust, hair and lint at regular intervals.
Fair enough, most of you are domainers with very little technical knowledge of computer circuitry, but common sense should prevail. You do not leave your car running in the Garage, so as to save the ignition switch. You don’t leave the stove on, in case your want to cook something. You don’t leave the door unlocked when you aren’t at home to save you the trouble of unlocking it when you return. The same logical and practical thought process should apply to your computer and whether or not it is turned on.

EDTA Oral chelation
I needed to do something about my high blood pressure and cholesterol .
I do enough exercise but always have had a problem with my blood pressure.
Needing a way to start afresh with my arteries, I investigated some options on the Internet.
There was the usual come and get your “plumbing replaced” style Heart surgery, but my past experiences with allergic reaction to anaesthetic made me shy away from that idea. I found the solution on a website, EDTA, ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid , is a simple chemical that is similar to vinegar or Acetic Acid.
The very comprehensive information provided on the website included a complete description of the process, I actually have had a course of EDTA oral chelation before for suspected lead poisoning, so I knew that it is a great chemical for eliminating toxic rubbish from the bloodstream.
The various articles and testimonials, as to the effectiveness of EDTA oral chelation, from many respected and well known scholars such as Linus Pauling was reassuring. A complete course of EDTA seems to be quite economical compared to the usual medicals costs associated with anything to do with heart disease , the favorite cash cow of the medical profession.
The total cost of the recommended course of 6 month of EDTA oral was still less than the last checkup I had with my specialist.
I am now looking forward to the next 46 years of life.
No Download Casinos
Having an active interest in online gambling sites, albeit with a limited budget. Online casinos seem to be getting more acceptable in the general community.
Probably because of the growing cost of fuel, the costs of driving to the local gambling casino is too expensive. A leading source of information about online gambling I discovered on the net is gambling-forum.com.
An excellent resource site, it covers not only the normal poker, roulette and blackjack games, but even bingo and sports gambling.
Featuring Games from a few different providers including Spin-palace with the Big Kahuna game which I love. They even have the latest innovation, no download games, so you can get right into the thick of trying new and varied games without having to download and install anything on your computer. This feature is great if travelling as a lot of places have slow connection speeds. I will be visiting this site on a regular basis. There seemed to be a very comprehensive range of articles, tutorials and features listed in the well set-out site, The site even features foreign language versions of the popular games.
So as the Germans say , it is the “Die besten Online-Casinos“. Anyhow back to playing the games ,they are so interesting and I feel lucky.
The International nature of Online Poker
Poker is a type of card game in which players bet on the value of the hand in their possession, by placing a bet. The winner is the one who holds the highest value hand. Poker is a card game that crosses all international borders. It is a simple to learn, but hard to master card game.
Having been mildly successful running a couple of English language Poker affiliate sites. I have now decided to try Foreign Language versions of affiliate sites.
The traditional home of Casinos being Europe, I decided to make my first foreign Poker sites in various European language versions. Searching the Internet for good examples , I located the best little poker or as it is called in Finnish, pokeri mini site. This Word press based blog was all about ilmainen pokeri, a Finnish language ilmaista pokeria site.
This little site , ilmaista pokeria, although only a 1 page mini site, covers a lot of information about poker in particular, Texas Hold-em. A variation of Stud Poker , Texas Hold-em players are dealt an incomplete hand of face-down cards, and then a number of face-up “community” cards are dealt to the center of the table, each of which can be used by one or more of the players to make a 5-card hand. Having several variants promoted on this ilmaista pokeria site makes for a high rate of acceptance by any potential player. I therefore decided to base my foreign language sites on this fine little
ilmaista pokeria site.
usa online casino review
With my new impetus for renewing my sites, I have been scanning the net for inspiration. With recent restrictions on US players visiting Gaming sites, it is often confusing for web-surfers to find suitable sites. It was with great interest I found this review site has a large list of US player friendly Gaming sites. It ranks each usa online casino with a 1 to 5 Star rating system. Also gives them a small but accurate subjective comment.
The site has been designed very well with an attractive and simple HTML layout. The site loaded really fast and was easy to use. Unlike a lot of other review sites it was not just a collection of affiliate links, but had really useful information.
This review site is not only much needed for all those frustrated US based players but is also very informative. The list of usa online casinos reviewed is not very extensive ,but covers most web-gamers needs.
I would recommend it to anyone looking for a casino review site listing USA player friendly casino sites.
Various Ways To Make Money With Domain Names
By David Underhill
As more people and companies than ever are investing in domain names, it has become evident that not all of these names will realise their full income earning potential. As a Domain reseller and investor with a reasonable sized portfolio ,I have often been asked the best way to make money from these investment domains. The following are the most common ways to create an income stream or maximize resale value.
* Park the name with a parking service
These places pay a percentage of the advertising revenue derived from ads placed on a page displayed when someone visits your domain. Also most of these parking services also offer a sales listing service to enable easy resale marketing of your domain.
* Make your own park page
Similar to the above ,only you create your own small Website with ads and get 100% of the revenue. This however will not be as profitable because the parking services get a much greater traffic flow.
* Develop a small, but content rich minisite
These small minisites are usually filled with articles and contextual ads from Adsense. Also often called AdsenseSites
* Develop a full featured web-site
Selling services or products and also have some ads and paid links.This can be either selling your own products or as an affiliate for an existing online website.
Factors that increase value
At any of the above stages of development and Value adding,you can make money by reselling the Domain/Site for an increased value above the purchase price.
* Keywords & brandability of the name
i.e. http://Become-rich.org is Keyword rich and is valued higher than http://CrappyNames.com
* Amount of Visitor Traffic
Simple equation More visitors = More Income = Greater Value
* Return from site
(Income for Ads,Sales or Paid Links) . Higher Income earned ,Higher value for the site
* Current Demand for similiar names
If a particular type of name is hot property ,all the similar names increase in value because of the demand.
* Current Search Engine Ranking
If the Name is Not listed by the major search engines or is on page 346 than value is low, conversely if it is listed on the first page of the listings than value will be higher.
* Number of Sites linking to your site
Related to Traffic and S.E.Ranking , More links = more traffic + higher rankings
* How keen is the buyer for name
Buyer may want the name for a specific purpose and will pay a premium to ensure they get it.
Ways to Lose money on Domains
* Register a trademarked name
like “P*yP*lFees.com” because of the Legal hassles. Most High profile companies can afford an expensive legal battle ,can you?
* Pay too much for Domain Name
Just because http://ReallyGreat.com sold for $Big-bucks , doesn’t mean paying $bigBucks for any old name will mean reselling it for an even higher price.
* Get scammed by Email and other types of fraud
Domain investors attract more than their fair share of Scammers A common one is an email claiming to be someone wishing to buy your name ,all you have to do is use their preferred Appraisal service to confirm the offered price. It is just a ruse to get you to pay an inflated price for this appraisal.
