Is the amazon streaming service that comes with prime membership any good? Do they have enough things to make it worthwhile, or do you still have to buy most everything good? And what is the quality like compared to netflix or hulu that I am used to?
Thank you!
I don't think that it's worth the full cost of Prime, but it's a nice bonus if you want the other Prime benefits. I've found quite a bit of good Amazon Instant Video content. Hulu has more stuff, though Amazon has no ads.

I'm of shy nature, but I love making videos. I personally think I've got good ideas to entertain people with bad movie reviews, sketches, top 10, etc. The only thing is... I'm scared that people end up mocking me and/or dislike me.
I know you cannot be loved by everyone, but I'm scared I get more hate than appreciation. I really want to do this though, should I take a risk or being a liked youtuber is excessively hard?
People who dislike your videos will probably forget about you. (Though maybe not before leaving a negative comment.) You're unlikely to enrage someone so much that they'll follow you around on YouTube making nasty comments, especially if you follow a policy of not feeding trolls. Don't worry too much about this.
If you look at the old videos of many popular YouTubers, you'll see that their first videos are often awkward, low-quality, and scarcely-viewed. But they persisted, and for every thousand people who hated their videos or ignored them, maybe one person became a subscriber. Over the years, as they refined their video-making techniques, and as word spread, their popularity grew. However, becoming big on YouTube is pretty rare. You need to consistently create content for several years to get anywhere, it seems. Having hundreds of high-quality videos out there for people to stumble upon is key.
To start with, I recommend doing videos about somewhat niche things that haven't already been covered much by popular YouTubers. A video like, "Top 10 videos of 2013," is never going to be seen because people will see the thousands of more popular videos first. But a video like, "Review of Some Obscure Movie," will be seen by people searching for that movie. Try to use keywords that are searchable, but not dominated by more popular videos.
Good luck!

So, it takes my laptop, the only thing in the house connected to our wifi, 10 minutes to buffer 3 seconds of a Youtube video in 240p quality. Am I doing something wrong or is our internet really that slow?
Is it faster when you're connected to the router directly? If it is, my first guess would be that there's a problem somewhere with the laptop's connection. Maybe something's wrong with the laptop's wireless adaptor causing high packet loss or something.

Hello,
What websites would those experienced with using PHP recommend for beginners?
What other script languages are like PHP?
Is there a website with before and after examples with PHP code and it's function output? I learn better visually and by seeing how it comes together.
I'd recommend just reading through the PHP manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/
Many of the documentation pages for functions have usage examples.
PHP is a very poorly-designed programming language. It's sometimes nice to use because there are so many built-in functions, but it's slow, inconsistent, unsafe, uselessly-verbose, and error-prone. I'd recommend working with a better programming language to start with if you ever want to do any real programming. Python is popular now and fairly easy. Perl is similar to PHP (PHP was designed to be "Perl for the masses"), but Perl is actually competently-designed.

I have a Kindle (normal Kindle). I got it for Christmas, I know how to use it perfectly fine. But I'm having an issue with something new I've never done before.
One of the books I purchased, the author said to email the review I had for the book to her and I would get a free kindle copy of her new book she had coming out. I did that and now a few months later, I have an email from her with the new kindle book she promised. She told me to just download the file to my Kindle but I'm not sure how. I don't know what folder to put the download in and I don't want to mess anything up.
The two folders I see are titled ".active-content-data" and "documents". The "documents" folder has the titles of the books I have downloaded in there but repeated multiple times with different file extensions. I thought that might be the correct folder but I want to ask just to make sure. I don't want to mess up my kindle and make it have any errors or things like that. I tried googling for an answer but I couldn't seem to type the right question phrase into Google that gave me any helpful information.
Thanks in advance.
I usually use this to transfer files to my Kindle:

Anyone have experience converting to the new FireFox 4 browser? I remember how "interesting" thing were when FireFox 3 first came out.
Should I upgrade now? Are the bugs worked out? Should I wait for a few minor releases first?
Your opinions would help.
I'm not upgrading until 3.6 support ends. New software is less secure and less stable than old software, so I want to wait until everything has had time to settle. I've also hated every single user interface change since Firefox 2.0, and I want to wait for extensions to come out that reverse whatever terrible things the Firefox UI team has cooked up this time.

I am making a website for a friend, and I need to have one main scroll box on the left, and three smaller scroll boxes on the right.
I read a question that you had answered about a DIV float option. For some reason it isn't working for me.
I use freewebs web edit. Any help? :/
The three divs on the right need to be in one container div. So you would do something like:
(right2)
(right3)
"left" and "right" float left and right, while the "rightx" divs don't float.
Here's an example (look at the source):
http://theymos.com/adv/scroll.html
The percentage widths/heights I use there to create a perfectly-full page makes this layout prone to breaking on old browsers and when you add margins/borders, so use pixel widths/heights if this is a problem.

Hello, my username is ThirdQED. It has been about a year since I last visit this site. Anyhow, as I was fixing my profile layout, I run into a few problems:
-----
Problem #1: Long links breaks my column layout:
--IE doesn't support Overflow.
**Temporary Fix: Overflow replaced with word-wrap.
-----
Problem #2: Major web browsers' differences in calculating widths:
--IE calculate everything from margins to padding into the total of a property.
--Other major browsers calculate the width of div boxes by taking the width property value PLUS margins, padding and borders.
**Temporary Fix: Fixed by applying div within div.
Meaning I applied something like this example (sorry if the code fails to show up):
CSS:
.thrColFixHdr #upperbar {
font: 75% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
float: right;
width: 760px;
background: ;
margin: 0px 0px 10px 5px;
color: ;
}
.thrColFixHdr #upperbarin {
padding: 15px 10px 15px 20px;
}
Apply:
About Me
-----
Of course both are just temporary fixes for now. Do you know of a better way to fix these problems? If you do, please do teach me. I've been trying to look for alternative fixes but not much luck :-( Also, the fixes don't have to be compatible with IE6 and FF2 or below. I am looking at anything that works with IE 7+, FF 3+, Safari 4+, and Chrome 4+.
Thanks in advanced, and my profile URL is http://www.advicenators.com/column.php?u=ThirdQED .
I wish all web browsers just use a standard rule :-)
Yeah, web development sucks. I now try to avoid it as much as possible since it frustrates me so much.
I used conditional comments on my column to fix IE's nonsense. You have to use non-standards-compliant "" tags, but the stuff that Advicenators adds gives you no hope of ever being compliant, anyway.
A disturbingly-high percentage of Advicenators users use IE6, so I'd try to support that if possible.

can you tell me whats wrong with this
Use "double" or "int", not "double int". Since "nextInt" presumably returns an int, you should probably use that.
You shouldn't end "if" statements with semicolons. Even without the semicolon, the distanceX variables need to be defined BEFORE the "if". And the "else" is supposed to be after the "if". Probably you want something like this (starting at line 53):
Distance1=...;
Distance2=...;
Distance3=...;
Area=...;
//You wrongly used "distance 1" instead of a variable name below.
if(distance3>distance1...)
{
System.out.println("This is a rectangle.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("This is not a rectangle.");

Theymos,
Recently I've received a message saying that my layout does not display properly in some web browsers, particularly IE (the person did not provide the version of his IE). From his email, "[...] the center column appears below the two side columns in IE."
However, when I did a cross-browser test, with IE6 and IE7 environment, IE8, Safari 4, Firefox 3.6, Opera 10.50, and Chrome 4, I was not able to find any noticeable problem.
Could you please take a quick look and help me out? [Link: http://preview.tinyurl.com/ykw7ked ]

Try IE6 with low resolution.

IE6 doesn't handle overflow (and many, many other things) correctly. A long link broke your layout. Notice this comment in the layout you used:
elements within the mainContent div should be 300px or smaller (this includes images).
Use a different layout that can bypass this bug. A pixel-based one would be easier (that's what I use), but a percentage one is probably possible.

You're thinking of Java, which is completely different from JavaScript.

Sorry to keep asking you questions, but when you said to upload it to imageshack and it will become a HTTP url, how do I get it onto the Zune software then?
Go here:
http://tor.imageshack.us/tor/
Upload the .torrent file gotten from btjunkie.org (or wherever). It will give you a download link once it's done. Pay attention to the bandwidth and space limits or else you'll have to pay money to continue downloading.
After you download it, add it to your Zune software and sync with your Zune. If that doesn't work, convert the downloaded file with MediaCoder as described previously.

I leave for a trip to California in about a week, and I would like to be able to watch movies on the plane ride there and home.
How can I put movies onto my zune for free? I would like if I could just download them from a site, preferably not a torrent or a .rar file. Considering I can't use those two when I download music, hah. If you can't offer a site to download for FREE, in a .zip folder or something along those lines but know how to put a movie from a DVD onto the computer that would be extremely appreciated also.
Thank you in advance.
There is no site that will allow you to download free movies directly; it's illegal and they would be shut down. Just use torrents. I use btjunkie.org for finding torrents.
If you can't get a bittorrent program to work, ImageShack will, for free, download up to 10GBs (about 14 movies) of torrents for you and then allow you to download them directly via HTTP. An account is required to see this tool.
To rip DVDs, use DVDFab HD Decrypter (free) to get the raw VOB files:
http://www.dvdfab.com/
Then (optionally), make those giant VOB files smaller with AutoGK:
http://www.autogk.me.uk/
Convert movies to work on the Zune with MediaCoder:
http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
Install the program, add the movies you want to convert, click "extension", and then "Zune".

Hello, sometimes when i get on the internet, the pages i visit don't load completely. It only loads the links and it just appears as a white page with little links on the left side. how do i fix this?
Use the latest version of a modern browser. If you already are, uninstall it, delete all of its files (including the stuff in appData), and then reinstall it.
Contact me by IM if that doesn't work.

I found some vitamins that I really want but they're online and not sold in any of the stores around here that I'm aware of. I found a site called Vitacost that has the vitamins for a fairly decent price, comparatively. Well, I was going to see if my mom would order them from me and she asked me if it was a reliable, safe site to order from and if I knew anything about it. I really don't have experience with this site (obviously) so I was hoping maybe some people here could tell me if it was safe or a scam or...whatever? Anybody know if Vitacost.com is an good place to order from then?
I use Vitacost; it's safe. And it's the cheapest source for high-dosage capsules. If you want powders, I recommend BulkNutrition.

I need a new email address and I was unsure which site offers the best free email. I know of a few like Yahoo, Hotmail, and Google's GMail but that doesn't tell me much, you know? I use to have a Hotmail account but I got spam a lot and so I didn't really like it. I mean, if that's the BEST there is then I'll just use it but I hope there is better!
Any suggestions?
I have used every service you mentioned. Many of them for extended periods.
AOL and Hotmail put advertising in outgoing email, which is incredibly unprofessional and annoying. Don't use them.
Gmail and GMX are full-featured and have a very good spam filter. I recommend one of these. Which one you use depends on your taste; GMX has more organizational features than Gmail, but it's heavier.
Yahoo is rather basic and uncustomizable. The spam filter is not so good. I wouldn't use it.
I use paid Fastmail email. It is the only provider with the customizability that I require.
