Hi there,

If you want to write that person, you are going to have to create an account. They don't allow anonymous contacts, so the messages end up in the admin's box.

I wish you well in figuring out your situation. I am always astonished how many people have ended up in the same place I was.



As you no doubt know Adobe's Flash Player doesn't work with Apple products for video or streaming audio. I'm told there are ways around this to see Flash Player content or listen.

I've heard of Skyfire but would prefer something FREE from a TRUSTWORTHY place as I have no idea if Skyfire will work for me after paying or not. What I'm trying to do is open IndyCar's web site (Google the address as they forbid us putting links in questions) and hitting the button marked "Timing And Scoring" where it mentions Toronto. Once there I have to click Play under Radio Broadcast. There's no live program to test it on but you might be able to tell me if it will work with whatever Flash fix you recommend. (link)
Hi there,

Nobody forbid you putting links in your questions... people are forbidden to spam the site with advertising links. As long as your aren't spamming something, you are golden.

The answer you seek is contained in the first result in google fro the phrase:

Flash on an Iphone 4S

... Here is the link:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3763185?start=0&tstart=0

To further eliminate guesswork, the app is called Photon.

Here is a link to the app:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photon-flash-video-player/id453546382?mt=8

There is no native Flash support on the Apple IOS products, which I often wonder how seriously Apple regrets.

Their desire to force you to do their will, and bend the entire internet the way they want it... simply because their hardware wasn't enough to run flash (which they discovered WAY too far into the development cycle to do anything about) left the door open for other smartphone makers.

If Apple wouldn't have pulled this bonehead play, I doubt the android phones would have ever had a chance.

Hopefully, the iPhone 5 will be allowed to run flash natively. They would have to license it from Adobe and code it themselves at this point, so don't hold your breath, but there is always hope, right? :-)

Anyway, until then, things like Photon are what iPhone/iPad users are forced into using.

Please let me know how you do with this, and what app you decide to use/works for this situation when it is all said and done.

All the best!

P.S. As a faithful user of the site, feel free to add me on Skype, so the next time you need something like this, you will have a direct way to contact me.



I posted this as a general population question earlier (please leave it up) but remembered you're savvy with this kind of thing. Please see the link for what I need help on and get back to me in my inbox or through the link. Would be very grateful if you did.

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=606158 (link)
Not sure where you got the idea you would be banned for including a link in a question.

I would rather you posted the question itself to multiple users than post a different question referring the user to another question. The reason for this is that when the question de-duper gets around to it, it will merge all the questions you asked into a single question with all of the various answers on one page.

I will do my best to answer your question now that I am back.

Please see the question you linked me to.


I have scoliosis, and it has caused my right back rib cage to stick out. I'm so embarrassed by it that I only wear lose guy tshirts, or a sweater with everything I wear, but lose things in the summer and I refuse to wear a bathing suit, so this summer ive been having to swim in clothes and hide under a towel immediately after I get out because the wet clothes will make it noticeable. I have not seen a doctor about this because I have no money, and I researched it and it's $120,000 for surgery, and there's a chance I would be paralyzed for the rest of my life. Idk what to do, but I'm so sick of being self conscious of my body and having back pain ): (link)
Hello there,

This is one of those cases where not having any money may help you. Perhaps you can qualify for medicaid or a state program to assist you with, at the very least, physical therapy.

You would be astonished at how much difference physical therapy can make for some people suffering from scoliosis... night and day difference.

Imagine what it would be like to find out that your rib issue could be completely fixed, or made much less noticeable by developing the muscles in your back and sides a certain way? How much difference would that make in your life?

The doctor is your first stop. There really isn't a choice here. You could see a chiropractor (find one with excellent references from people you know, if possible) but the odds are that they will refer you to a specialist.

I don't know where you live, so I can't really do anything else to point you in the right direction, but I am sure that you will be referred the right direction no matter where you start.

I am very hopeful for your future.

If you are not in a relationship and you have sex with someone and then go back to your ex, should you tell him? (link)
You should inform anyone you have sex with about EVERYone else you have had sex with. The reason, you see, is so they can make the decision of weather or not it is worth the disease risk of sleeping with you (again, in this case) or if they would like you to get a full panel STD screening before being intimate with you.

If you lie about who you slept with, and you give your ex an incurable disease, they could file charges against you. It happens more than you think.

Building a relationship on lies... never works. Be honest. If it is something he can't live with, it is better to know right away.

The other thing you should know is that secrets like this don't stay secrets forever. Somehow, the person you are hiding things like this from will always find out.

Better they hear about this from you, right?

I hope you do the smart thing here.


Recently I read a kind of rude feedback I had got and it kind of hurt me. I thought I give good advice to people! Do I give good advice? Are they offensive? Somene please answer my question!!!!!!!! (link)
I took a look at the answer you were rated 2 for. The person was very polite, and absolutely correct. If you didn't like the question, you should not have answered it with something like that.

In the future, please answer only the things that you actually know something about and can help with. I am sure there are many question you will be really good at answering, this just isn't one of them. :-)

Don't take it personally. You answered an adult's serious question with what amounts to: "Eww! Too personal don't post on this site!" and they didn't file an abuse report on you, which they absolutely could have.

They took the time to politely tell you exactly what the problem was, which was very nice of them. Most people would have called you an idiot and told you to stop wasting people's time by answering things you have no clue about. See the difference? :-)

Be careful what you answer, and you will get better responses. If you don't like a question, don't answer it. Let someone else.

If you have any other site related questions that only an admin can help you with (nobody else could see who you were, so asking them to check your advice was pointless) then please inbox me.

Thanks, and happy answering!


I've started a business connecting paying advertisers to websites and need web masters to place ads for commissions can anyone tell me if your willing to take part or if there is a forum for web masters that I can go too.

Thanks

Hello Andy,

We would need a great deal more information before participating.

Please contact me on skype if you are interested in explaining your proposition.

Skype username is the same as my username here.

Look forward to your followup.


you answered a question asked just last week about a facebook page that is abusive, racist and upsetting. This group concerned is abusive - but you said it isn't. You say its not hurting or harming anyone - of course it is - they are telling jokes about dead babies. My daughter had a stillborn baby 18 months ago and i know hundreds of others through groups on fb that have suffered the same. How is this not hurting them? I think its disgusting and plan on going higher with this - its disgraceful. If they were jokes about being a different colour to the next, it would be slated and culprits arrested. Disgusted.
(link)
There you go twisting my words to make your point. I didn't say it wasn't awful... I said I didn't know if it was against the law, which is the only way facebook is going to take it down.

When you stoop to these tactics, you weaken your own argument and lose credibility for you cause.

To re-cap: I think it is awful. I don't know of any legal way for you to get it removed, if facebook doesn't want to remove it.

Plain and simple.


How long do it take befor a man find out he has an std from another man? (link)
It can be just a few days to a few weeks for things like herpes, to as long as 10 years for AIDS.

You should be tested every 6 months for the next 10 years if you want to be 100% sure. This only counts if you stop having sex, of course.


I have noticed that some functions on my computer stopped working recently. For example, I click on Personalize to edit my desktop. Normally, the function would open the window but nothing happens. What is wrong? I do not have virus protection software, I handle viruses another way. However, I have never came across this problem. I have hid my desktop icons with the fences program and when I double clicked for my icons to reappear, I noticed there was an icon that wasn't there before. It was Norton Virus Protection icon. I have not installed Norton so I am guessing it could be that trojan that poses as Norton. I have restored my system right after I discovered that but it seems there are still some problems. Help please. (link)
Hi there,

Wow, this is one of the most intelligently presented computer questions EVER posted on this site! Congratulations on that. :-)

Normally, I wouldn't bring this up, but you are obviously bright enough to get it, so here we go:

There is a difference between a virus, and other forms of malware. A virus is self propagating and would try to infect other computers from your own. More than likely what you have is another type of malware. Fake AV sounds about right in this case.

Some of these are awful to remove. When the first big one, known as: "AV360" came on the scene, you typically had to remove the hard drive from the machine and hook it up as a slave drive on another workstation to remove the primary files on the installation.

Tools are better now, but there are still a few that need to be handled the same way. The first step is to find out what you have on your system.

I suggest trying to install both of these:

Malware bytes:

http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

... and SuperAntiSpyware:

http://www.superantispyware.com/

If you can't install either of these, you may need some help to get this cleaned up.

Another scan, which comprises both virus and other malware scans is the online scanner from Trend Micro:

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

... Betwixt all of these you should be able to recover from most malware. If you get through these and still have trouble, or can't get any of them to run, then please ask another question and provide the details of your experiment so far.

Thank you, and I hope this goes easily for you.


Read your rant. Empathize. In similar situation with being a programmer but too old to be taken on. At such a young age, you sound so lucid. Give it a year or two. When you hit 52 (I) think again. GB. (link)
Hi there,

The person you wanted to see this, isn't going to. Apparently, they have their account set to only allow inbox messages from people who have signed up for an account here. If you would like to, then:

... and send it again.

In the mean time, as a programmer myself, I wanted to ask if you have considered any freelance work, and, if so, which languages you program in?

If you are interested, I may be able to point you toward some work.

aeallaccesspass.com just re-directs to the main AE site now. They should have sent all the AE All Access Pass people to the AE rewards page instead of the front page, but they didn't so there is a link for you. :-)


Hi,
I'm 14/f i live in Australia and my best friend and I want to have sex, I have known him for what feels like forever and we have already done stuff but now that we both want to do it I'm worried about a lot of things like, can I just go and buy condoms at this age? What can I do if I do get pregnant?? how can I explain to my parents about me becoming sexually active at this age with out them freaking out? And how can I do all this with out my friends knowing? I have tryed talking to him bout all this n he supports me but doesn't give me an answer. (link)
Hi there,

Yes, you can probably go buy condoms, BUT... you need to understand that condoms break. It isn't terribly uncommon, so the obvious question is are you ready for a baby?

If you are going to do this, the the thing to do is talk to your parents before hand. You really need to care of the birth control issue before hand, and condoms alone are a really bad plan.

As for your parents freaking out... well, it is going to happen, more or less. The more honest you are about it, the less freaked out they are going to be. Let them be a little freaked out... that is their right. If you changed someone's diapers for YEARS and then they came to you and said they wanted to do the the very same thing that gave you those diapers to change in the first place, wouldn't you be a little concerned? Of course you would.

As for your friends knowing... well, it is going to happen. You will be a different person after you have had sex, and those that have had sex will know what changed. There is a certain innocence that is just gone forever once this happens. PLEASE think twice before doing this, as you will most likely miss the person you were 5 minutes before you made this decision.

I guess the other things you need to know are:

In as little as two years, you will look back in your 14 year old self and not even BELIEVE how stupid the now you looks to the 16 year old you. At 20, your 16 year old self will look like an idiot. Why? Because your brain doesn't fully form until you are in your 20s. You might say you are making what could turn out to be the biggest mistake of your life, with only half a brain. :-)

The next thing is: Condoms don't stop herpes or HPV(genital warts/cervical cancer, etc.) from spreading. Even if he has only done "some" things with another person, he could have either of these.

Also: If you wait until after you do something like this to talk to your parents, they will not EVER trust you again... like for the rest of your life.

Lastly: If he isn't mature enough to give you a straight answer to any of your questions, do you REALLY think he is mature enough to take a chance on making babies with?

I hope you make a smart decision, and I hope you make sure your parents are a part of it BEFORE you invite such large life changes on yourself.

P.S. The only people who are glad they lost their virginity at 14 are people who are lying to make themselves feel better about the mistake. Trust me, I was with someone who lost it at that age and spent the rest of her life, so far, feeling dirty and ashamed that she didn't wait. Don't be like her. No matter what you do, make sure you won't regret it... and don't make the decision alone. Your parents love you, and they are the ones who will have to pay for the raising of any babies you make by accident, so talk to them and make sure they have some say in if they want to be changing more diapers or not! LOL!


Is it normal to touch yourself at the age of 13? I did it today with one finger for about 10 seconds, and I felt dumb and dirty and guilty after. Should I be ashamed? (link)
You know, asking this to strangers is really not a good idea. Sometimes people will tell you to do something that they do, or to think like they think, just to justify the choices they made in life.

I know this is going to be a hard conversation for you to have, but the person you should have this conversation with is your mom. Not because you are doing something weird or anything, but because this question leads to about a hundred other questions that you are REALLY going to want your mom's help with.

I would like you to remember something: Your mom... she was your age once, probably not very long ago, and she knows how weird and awkward it can be to talk to your mom about some stuff. Want to know a secret? It is EVEN more scary for her. I promise.

Ask her if you guys can spend some time together, and then talk with her about it. Simply start with: "Mom, I want to talk with you about some stuff and I am kinda embarrassed about it so please don't laugh or anything, ok?"

When you tell her what it is you are worried about, she will be SO relieved that she might chuckle a bit. That is just because she might have been afraid that the next words out of your mouth were going to be "Mom, I am going to have a baby!" and she will be happy to hear that you are just curious about your body.

Your mom is your best source for this kind of thing, especially when period time rolls around for you.

Mom's are just grown up girls. Remember that, and you will be fine. :-)


it all started having sex on day two after we met. it was all fine until i cheated for a whole month with my best friend. i got pregnant by my boyfriend but i had been stopped seeing my best friend. My boyfriend and i have a daughter, he doesn't know about me and my best friend having sex after me and him got together. I think he cheated also because he is super jealous, cant even go outside with my daughter without him doubting. Should i tell him? (about me and my best friend) hoping that he tells me why hes so jealous? (maybe he cheated too)!. i want to get over this because now theres screaming and hitting going on in the house. when we wake and and we go to sleep its juszt argue and argue (link)
Hi there,

I understand why you are hoping he cheated on you too, but I can tell you what is more likely:

He knows you cheated.

These things rarely stay hidden, and sometimes a guy can just tell you cheated on him by the way that you behave around him.

See, I have been in the situation where you know your partner has cheated on you and wait patiently for them to tell you the truth, because you love them and you want everything to work out. If they never tell the truth, then it begins to wear on you. After two YEARS it would be driving you crazy.

Here is my take on it: He knows you cheated on him, and has been waiting two years (or however long it has been since he figured it out) for you to tell the truth and make things better. You have been going along like this for all this time, and now he can hardly stand to be around you because he KNOWS what you have done.

From my own experience, that is what this sounds like to me.

If you knew he cheated on you... and he didn't tell you for two years, but you knew all along, how much would you trust him? How jealous would you be? See what I mean?

As far as hitting going on in the house, that has to stop. If you want to make this work, you are going to need to seek counseling. First things first is to stop the hitting. I am guessing that you are doing the hitting, because you didn't make a point of saying he beats you... if that is the case, you need to stop taking out your own guilt on him with your fists. If it is the other way around, or you are both doing it, I am going to suggest that you do NOT confess what you have done until you get into counseling.

No matter WHAT... the hitting has to stop.


Last week I broke up with my boyfriend of about 4 months and he seemed really calm about it. I broke up with him because I thought, wow, what are the odds this'll even last? He said ok, and then his ex-gf who still loves him 'as a friend' and my ex-best friend said that he said he doesnt want anything to do with me. this worries me because I hate making enimies but they think i still love him but I don't! what should I say to get him to answer my emails and we can straight this out? (link)
Hi there,

Well, you did prove one thing out of all this: He really loved you.

When you break up with someone just because you feel like it, and don't discuss it with them, or make any effort to work out whatever problem exists ONLY in your head... the other person is going to be hurt VERY badly.

To you, maybe this was no big deal... but to him, he was probably looking for a bridge to jump off.

With a couple of words, you completely destroy the future he thought he had with you, and now you are surprised that he wants nothing to do with you? Seriously?

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I will explain: Every time he sees you, it is going to hurt like a red hot knife jabbing him in the heart... so why would he want to see you ever again?

What you did, completely destroys any chance of you guys being "friends" because what you did, was very unfriendly.

If a guy that you loved with all your heart, and planned to spend your whole life with just said to you one day: "Bye, I don't see how this is going to last, so I am dumping you." How would YOU feel? Well, that is how he feels.

Basically it comes down to this:

YOU ended this... and now it is over. You can't fix it, and you can't take it back. It is done.

There is nothing to straighten out. You don't love him, but he loved you a LOT. You broke his heart, he didn't break your heart.

There is nothing to work out. It is over. Let him start healing, so that maybe someday his heart will be well enough to try trusting someone else. Hopefully, next time he will find someone who is mature enough to sit down and talk with him when she has a concern about the relationship, rather than just cold-heartedly dumping him like you did.

People like you are the reason that people are afraid to get involved with others. The kind of poison you spread ruins peoples lives. For you, this is a casual thing. Something you did with no more thought than changing socks, most likely, but for him... well, as long as he lives, he will never be able to fully trust that the next person he is with won't do what you just did.

You broke a part of him that will never heal, no matter what he does.

Next time you get into a relationship, please think twice before destroying someone else's heart.

If you had just sat down and talked this out with him, it would have worked out fine for both of you. Sure, he would have still been hurt, but it wouldn't have been a total blindside attack like you pulled here.

Just leave him alone. You have hurt him enough. If you want to apologize, write it out and get someone to give it to him. If he contacts you and wants to talk, that is fine. Otherwise, just leave him alone and let him heal so that he will be ready when someone who knows how to treat their partner comes along and tries to fix the damage you did.



you shouldnt do it man.. i know what its like to feel nothing. be lie in front of everyone. to think i feel something or forcefully try to make myself feel something when i never really do. but suicide is not the answer. ive attempted suicide since i was 6. I was emotionally depresed since i was very young. but the thing that always got me through was knowing people love me, believe in me, people who are proud to be apart of their life. and i cant fail them. just know that into the future something will drasticly change the way you feel and make you appreciate the things in life. im 18 and those are my thoughts. i hope you can reconsider your thougts of suicide and remember the people who care.

Hey,

This looks too good to be true but the Quick Money App was on the news and they said he proved this works live on the news!

I don't want to get scammed again, can you help me make sure I don't get taken again? Here is the link http://quickmoneyapp.com/ would you please tell me if it seems real to you?

THANK YOU! (link)
Hi there!

This is one of the most obvious fakes to come along in recent times, and that is saying quite a lot considering how many things like this have come along lately.

The first thing I would like to point out is that the people in the "news" show are all actors. The news host reveals herself early on when the first actor walks by and says he doesn't have time, so she says something like: 'His loss.' ... when just SECONDs before she had told the guy giving the demo that she didn't quite believe his claims.

Now, why would you say someone was missing out on something you don't believe works in the first place? You wouldn't! Ta-da!


Sometimes they out themselves in other ways. For example, however you found out about this, the person who referred you probably used a link that gives them credit for sending you.

This means they get paid a commission on anything you buy... Well, you may think that isn't much of an issue, I mean what could a commission be for something like this, 10% 15% maybe, right?

Try 75%.

Oh, wait a minute. That starts to sound suspicious, doesn't it? Still, you might tell yourself: It is only $49, and 75% of that isn't going to make anyone fabulously rich or anything, right?

Well this is where the plot thickens a bit. You see, the people aren't out to sell you the $49 product, really... they are out to sell you "fabulous one time offers!" ;-)

In this case:

Quick Money App - 3 Software Tools: $49.00 one-time fee

Upsell #1 (Affiliate Rockstar Alliance): $297.00 one-time fee

Upsell #2 (Done for You Profit Centers): $195.00 one-time fee

Upsell #3 (Traffic Accelerator Platinum): $97 one-time fee

... so all of a sudden we are talking about over $600 just to get all the "goodies" they are going to insist you need to REALLY succeed to your full potential.

You should really read their joint venture page where they recruit partners to promote their products. Did that make you say: "Products, plural? But wait, I thought this was a once in a lifetime chance to get this one secret to nearly instant wealth before this guy changes his mind!?"

Well, actually, from that same JV recruiting page:

http://www.quickmoneyapp.com/jv/

"...We have been in this industry for very long time and promoted hundreds of products and we can tell you for a fact that there hasn’t been a launch where we generated anything near these figures per customer"

Yep, hundreds of products.

So... Yeah. They intend to sell you the next miracle product, and the one after that... then a few more.

Yes, you can request a refund of your $600+ dollars, but what about the payment company?

The industry standard is Clickbank. They say that in their own materials, and they use clickbank screenshots to show you how wealthy they are going to make you... yet, they don't use Clickbank to sell their own product? What?

You see, I had never heard of the company they are using, "clicksure" by name, before this product was launched. Sounds kinda like the other company, doesn't it? I thought so too.

So, my question to whomever out there might know: "Is clicksure a scam?" I can't rightly say, but I do find it odd that someone who makes their supposed living on CB chose someone else, don't you?

I can guess why: CB has a very serious refund policy: You ask, you get a refund. Period. If enough people claim a refund, CB notices this and has the power to kill the product.

If I was trying to market something so obviously unhelpful in the long term gain of money, I wouldn't risk trying to sell it through clickbank either!

I have an e-mail from one of the few honest marketers out there who warned people that Andrew and his friends sent out an e-mail to their JV list stating:

"So guys day one of Quick Money App launch has gone great, we are making money, you are making money...
pretty much everybody but our customers is making money... ;-)
So I say KEEP BLASTING because we finally have the video upsells live and in the last couple of hours we have
seen conversions on them more than double so we expect EPC for day two to be HUGE... "

I don't yet have permission from the marketer who exposed them to print his name here. I would really like to, so that you might have an idea who to trust in the IM world. I will update this, if he writes back and says I may publicly acknowledge him as the person who first showed these "people" for who they are.

Probably more of an answer than you needed, but I thought if I told you the whole thing, you would be better able to see the scams in the future without needing to ask anyone else. Not that I mind you asking, not at all, but it would save you some time.

If you EVER in doubt again, feel free to write and ask me to look into whatever product you aren't sure of.

There ARE some great possibilities to make income on the internet, but for every ONE that is for real, there seem to be TEN THOUSAND that are outright rip-offs like this. After a while, you walk right by the good chances, because you become so incredibly jaded by all the noise the scammers make.

Here is a clue, I picked up over the years: The flashier the sales page, the worse the product. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part, the real deal sells itself.

Satan spends a lot more time and effort selling "hell" whereas heaven kind of sells itself, if you get my meaning. Yet, which are people most attracted to? Same reason internet marketers seem to hire out of work carnival barkers to sell their garbage... they are selling the sizzle, not the steak. Often, there is no steak at all... just the promise that if you give them $600+ dollars, there MIGHT be a steak for you down the road some day. Maybe. Lest I forget: If you don't get that steak... it is your fault for not working the program hard enough. (Can you tell I was exposed to Amway as a child?)

Wow, can you tell this is close to my heart? I am going to be quiet now, and let you digest all of this. If you have further questions, please let me know.
