The Four Ps

I would like to meet new people with similar interests and just to be able to talk. I have a facebook account, but I only add people that I personally know. Plus, I would like a site with more options in which to help you find others that do have similar interests. Also, a site that has fun quiz options, etc. Any suggestions?

A friend of mine wants to start a personal web-designing project. In this scenario, we will find local businesses and charge them for a web page and updates fees. Question is are there any taxes involved or tax regulations?
Location is New Jersey, America if required.

You do not have to charge sales tax for a service that is provided but he will need to pay income tax on any income that he makes from this business.

I just bought my computer and don’t want to get any virus but would like to download some movies, need what you think is best site.

Stay away from torrents, Stay away from lime wire or frost wire. Stay away from all those places where you download movies or music. Every one of the including the two already posted are full of spyware and malicious content. You tube is flash content. You can still get a virus, Even though it’s harder to do. Don’t download nothing unless you have the very best Antivirus available. If your gonna do this kind of downloading you need a good paid AV like Kaspersky internet security. Stay away from free. With this kind of downloading you will be infected in no time with a free AV.

I am designing a website and I have been focusing mainly on the functionality and ‘inner-workings’ of the site. But while doing so, I felt that things might be easier if I had a design to add the functionality to, instead of having to add design to my functions. People experienced in this field, please help.

Functionality is more important than design, but as you say yourself, it can be hard to develop functionality without having a design in mind.

What I usually do when designing a site is do up a mock-up of what I want the site to look like, in Photoshop. I keep it simple and basic at first, something I know I can do easily without spending a lot of time on the design. Then I get to work on the functionality while working towards this simple design. Once the functionality is implemented and working on this simple design, I might decide to spruce up the design a bit. The design should only start to get more complicated once the functionality is in place, otherwise it’s easy to spend too much time on the design and end up with half-finished functionality.

Doing a mock-up design gives you a direction to go in, and if you start to get lost, it gives you something to refer back to. So I’d definitely recommend giving this method a shot.

When we bring the mouse close to the corner of web page it moves like real paper. It is available on MSN as well. Can any one guide me how can I make this on a web page and what is the name of this?

You can do it with a gif image, and using the hover effects in css. It would be far better then the way MSN is doing it.

I’m planning to build a website but since geocities free hosting has shut down, I have to find another web host that is easy to use, navigate, has efficient web tools and has faster loading time. Could anyone share any web host sites and their advantages and disadvantages so I can compare which one is the best? Thanks.

Hi galaxyangel_mint,

The criteria you mentioned seem to apply only to
reliable paid hosting.

I don’t know why you insist on free hosting service
because from the business point of view, they
don’t provide reliable server to run your website,
even though you upgrade to become their paid users
later on.

When you face an urgent matter, they can’t help
you instantly since they only provide email support.

But if you’re building a personal website just to
share with your closed friends and family and not
using it as a business platform, then that probably
justifies your choice.

I personally would not recommend any free web hosting
service for my clients who run businesses because
they really stinks. I’ve used several of them when
I first started out, but they failed me.

Again, if you just want to build a non-profitable
website, any free hosting service will do the trick.
But if you intend to go into business, then I would
suggest you to go get a reliable paid hosting service
which is easy to use, navigate, has efficient web
tools and has faster loading time, as per your expectation.

You might want to refer to the website below which
I found pretty useful and helpful for those who
wanted to know which web hosting service works best
for them.

Best of luck!

Im looking for a site to purchase different kinds of floral arrangements for my wedding… Im looking for the bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, and all the guys boutonnieres as well. I am also looking for center pieces and decorations, all in apple red roses.

When you buy floral arrangements from a web site, all they do is take a cut of the money and send the order to a local florist to complete. The local florist may not have all the vases that the site offers so they might substitute a different one. I suggest you go to a local florist (even at a supermarket if you want cheap) and order directly.

Does an artist require a business license if you are selling paintings on ebay, or an online gallery?
I am a visual artist; I paint with pastels, and I want to sell my paintings and giclees in online galleries and on ebay. I am worried that if I make over a certain amount that I am required to have a business license or some other legal issue. I am also worried about how to keep my taxes affordable and legal.

Regardless of where you sell; if you buy/or make items to then sell for profit -then this makes you a Business.
It’s not the amount of money that you make (or lose in the first year of set up- in fact a good accountant can help you "lose" money so that you may actually have a tax rebate)its the fact that you will be trading and have taxes to pay (when you are actually in profit)
A good accountant will advise you of your obligations and will more than save you what his yearly fees cost

As a Business seller trading on the internet you need to be legally offering your buyers their rights under the distance selling regulations (google DSR regulations)
On ebay you are required to register as a Business seller from day one, and with the tax man within 3 months
Unsure if you are in UK; but you can finfd business info on many sites such as Business Link, HMRC (Customs and Taxes)

I like old songs from the smashing pumpkins like Disarm, Bullet with butterfly wings, 33, Zero, today and more. Their new stuff isn’t really good.And most of the rock bands today are lame. Does anyone out there know bands that sound like the Smashing Pumpkins? I like other bands but the smashing pumpkins seems to be my favorite.

No.
I’d would start by listening to an album not just singles.
Then try Catherine (Hot Saki and Bedtime Stories), The Cure, Jane’s Addiction.

When I scroll from the top of a web page to the bottom with the wheel on my mouse, there is a ton of lag. It skips around and is hard to get it where I want it.It also seems that the page loads from the bottom of the screen. Help?

Something is definately running in the background check wehich progrms you have recently installed or ran and make sure that they aren’t causing a problem. A reboot is definatelly a good thing to start with.
