I don't understand this stuff at all. But, my little brother is like doing all this weird coding stuff on the computer & I feel likes it a illegal, since some company supposedly just paid him 300 dollars to make fake accounts. He makes fake accounts & passwords for the website or something...?
Is this illegal? I don't get it. I feel like it is, but I don't understand it, & so he thinks its wrong my parents are punishing him for it..
I just don't understand why a company would pay someone to make fake accounts... (link)

First off, I want to point out that a bit of this appears as the typical sibling tension. If you're brother can make some money and he's not assaulting, raping or directly robbing someone. Leave him be. Heck, be nice and he might share some money with you! (sounds logical, but I don't know your relationship details)
With that said, I want to address some other details; Firstly, we live in a country where greed and deception has been accepted as OK, as long as you wear a suit, sit behind a big desk and "grease" the pockets of those who are there to tell you you're out of line. I say this because I can't imagine where he might have gotten his views askew. Not saying whatever he's doing is OK, I'm trying to paint a much larger picture.
SECOND- Some may argue with the point I'm about to make......but they're wrong :D;
-There is a enormous difference in ILLEGAL and WRONG. There are a LOT of things that are WRONG and yet not ILLEGAL. The reverse is also true, There are a GREAT many things that even though they are ILLEGAL....are not WRONG.
If your brother has found a way to make good money because he is smart with a computer, then that is by all technicality between HIM and the AUTHORITIES. Yes, I know that you and your parents want to keep him safe. You, however, I strongly question that this is more of an opportunity to roll your eyes and point your finger at your brother. Ya know, the whole "na na na na boo boo" attitude. No doubt that you love him, just typical sibling stuff. Listen, I don't want anything bad to happen to your brother either, I just know that there are so many REAL crimes being committed by "white collar", greedy psychopaths, (that will never be charged with any actual crimes) it's hard to find it too concerning at his level of things.
If you cant get your brother to stop what he's doing, at least urge him to protect his own identity to the best of his ability.
Since I don't know what he's doing exactly so I cannot say it's harmless. I would urge you to try and get the details (with the attitude of a caring and cool sister/brother who's not doing it to rat him out or get him in trouble in any way.) Just see what he's up to and if he IS doing so.... try and get him to use his brains to do something that doesn't involve causing harm to someone else....IN ANY WAY.
I am very firm in my belief that everyone should be free to do WHATEVER they wish provided it causes no harm to ANYONE else.
Some may disagree with that point of view....but they are just plain wrong :)
I do hope that my perspective here has been entertaining, helpful and heck....maybe even a tad enlightening :)
I wish you and your brother much happiness and peace.

im 10 and im a female what should i talk about when on the phone with my boyfriend? (link)

Ask him what it means to be a "boyfriend" at the ripe old age of 10. What does he plan on doing for a living. You might want to know if he is going to be able to take care of you?
The reason you are having to ask this question here is because normally, 10 year olds don't have boyfriends and girlfriends. There isn't THAT much to talk about. You're still at an age where you don't really know who YOU are and neither does he. You're supposed to be being a kid, you know....playing with your dolls and toys (or whatever toys are to you)Playing with your regular friends.Mostly just being a kid and learning about yourself.
I have a better idea than the question you asked. Ready? Here it goes.......Ask yourSELF, "Why do I have a boyfriend?" "What IS a boyfriend?" "What is the PURPOSE of a boyfriend" "Why are my parents letting me have a boyfriend at 10?"
I hope that you are able to understand all of what I have written. No, I don't think you're dumb, I think you're 10. I takes a while to develop a large vocabulary"
No matter what you choose to do, I hope that you choose the safe and smart things. Not just with this but with the rest of your life.
Good luck with everything........grow up a little more before you worry about having boyfriends. There is plenty of time for that :)

I am a member of a shoe club and I LOVE the shoes on the site but, most of the shoes on the site (at least the ones that I like) are 5 inches or higher with a large incline. Sometimes the platform might be 1.5 inches so that makes the incline less steep but when it's a 5.5 in shoe, it can still be very straining on the ball of the foot. Yet, I see women wear these shoes out to the club, out to the mall, etc. I don't know what they are doing to be able to wear these shoes for so long without causing blisters. Is there like an insole or something that they are putting in there or are they just wearing the shoes until the bottom of their feet callous over and there is just no pain anymore? I would love to wear these shoes but I really don't want to sacrifice the health of my feet to do it. (link)

I hope that I don't come across as too bitter here. Please try to hear me rather than take offense.
It is nearly heartbreaking to find individual examples, like yours, of exactly how badly our society has been inundated with this "Barbie Doll" role model type of mentality. You should NEVER be so "in" to a pair of SHOES that you're even considering putting yourself through pain in order to wear them. I hope you're not as "plastic" of a person as that makes you sound. If you are I'm surely wasting my time with this response. I'm going to think you're not and continue :)
The "Paris Hilton" mentality has done so much damage to the self image of a large portion of young women. I cannot even understand the concept of even being concerned with what you're asking here. The only people that would even be concerned about your shoes (to this extreme) are bubbly plastic people who think fashion is this important. Wear what YOU like and don't EVER wear clothing that is going to hurt you. Self confidence and self respect are WAY more attractive than ANY fashion accessory has been or will EVER be.
I hope, again, that your "trendy fashion sense" isn't such a life focus that you're insulted by what I've said. I would rather hope that it shines a light on the silliness of the fashion thinking and empowers your sense of self, the self that requires NO silly shoes or anything else you WEAR....to feel great about who YOU are.
I wish you MUCH peace and happiness. Always remember to NOT be plastic :)

Can you download while your computer is in safe mode?
My computer won't download anything. It says its missing some '.exe' file and I don't know what to do. if I put it in safe mode will it be able to download stuff?
I can't access a lot of my programs on the computer, I can't go to control panel, itunes, adobe reader or anything. It says I don't have the correct program to access anything or download on my computer. (link)

It sounds to me like you are infected with malware or a "full-on" virus. I don't mean to sound rude but I think you may have downloaded enough. You're so preoccupied with downloading you are missing the HUGE importance of the fact that your computer is having a major problem. I would normally give you some steps to try and cleanup your system but I'm concerned that it would be a waste of my time. "Pearls before Swine" as the old saying goes. A computer must be maintained like a car. You shouldn't drive a car when it needs oil and you shouldn't be downloading on a computer that is in bad need of virus removal and cleanup. If you post in a way that shows interest in fixing your computer for more than just so you can pirate more stuff, I'll try and give you some advice. In the meantime, learn more before you continue your downloading obsession.
Good luck with things
