Having access to renewable, clean sources of energy is an urgent need. Powering even the smallest of appliance with a clean energy source can go a long way in reducing our carbon emission.

My Response To Your Questions About Facebook

January 26th, 2012

David asks…

What is the Facebook email which I can email for problems, and get a response?

I have a problem with Facebook, and no none of you can help because it is an issue about the features on my Facebook account, and for some reason all my friends have them but mine account doesn’t.

So what is the email I would email Facebook, and they would reply, and try to help me out?

Thanks!

Riverpalm answers:

There are some to email facebook on this site http://gethuman.com/Facebook-support-email_301.html

Mark asks…

Does facebook preview really show what your page look like for others?

Does facebook preview (the one that you can select under privacy setting) really show what your page look like for others?

And what are the recent privacy changes on facebook?

Thank you.

Riverpalm answers:

Yes it does. One way to verify is have a friend log onto their page and look at yours. I don’t know of any recent privacy changes. You can personalize your privacy under account at the top right corner of your home page.

Lizzie asks…

How does Facebook decide which 5 friends to show when i hover over my name?

When i hover over my name on Facebook a popup box appears showing 5 friends and the list barely changes whenever i bring it back up. How does Facebook decide which friends turn up? Is it the people who view my profile the most?

Riverpalm answers:

I think its just at random

Laura asks…

How did Facebook use principles related to the definition of Organizational Development to grow and prosper as a company? How does the concept of Organizational development relate to Facebook?

Riverpalm answers:

Sounds like homework to me

Sandra asks…

How can facebook handle so many users in real time with php?

There are millions of users on Facebook at a time. Despite this, Facebook is able to update people’s news feeds with others activity in real time. With what structure of php can this be accomplished.

Riverpalm answers:

Actually both of the answers above suck.
Look into ‘HipHop’
It’s a code translator that the Facebook team made that converts the PHP code to C++, allowing them to compile it. Since compiled code runs much faster than interpreted code (except ASP/ASP.NET, which just sucks in general) it allows them to accomplish much faster loading times.
As well, it’s not only the code that allows them to do such. You have to consider that they’re running constant queries to their databases, thus their queries have to be top-notch. Writing a query well will significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to pull from the database. This includes indexes, proper queries, using prepared statements when need be, and database optimization.

Having a whole databank of servers does NOT make your website run faster. In fact, it adds overhead to the whole process, thus potentially increasing loading times. So there’s both answers proven wrong.
What HipHop did for them was significantly reduced the server load and time required to process the code, thus allowing them to process more on one server, and compile their code. The only con of that was losing some commands such as eval().
I personally compile my PHP source and use it as such. You also have to ensure that when you write it, it’s properly structured and that the best practices are used. This will also significantly reduce processing time and load.

My Response To Your Questions About 17 Day Diet

January 25th, 2012

Helen asks…

17 day diet question?

I was just wondering if anybody has tried the 17 day diet, and also what can you eat on it, and how does it work. They have a website, but they do not post anything about the diet online.

Riverpalm answers:

I saw “The Doctors” today and they were talking about it. You basically eat all the veggies you want, 5 servings of fruit, lean meats-grilled chicken, turkey, low fat ice cream, 1 square of dark chocolate, and boiled eggs. Basically, eat whatever you want (other than junk food) but in moderation. Good Luck =)

Jenny asks…

Anyone try the 17 day diet?

I’m considering buying the 17 Day Diet book and trying it out – I’d like to hear anything about it. Thank you.

Riverpalm answers:

This diet is not a fad quick diet. If you look into it you’ll notice it goes for as long as it takes to lose the weight by repeating the first 3 cycles. Once you are at the weight you want you go to the fourth cycle which basically teaches you portion control. I love it, I started 2 days ago and the lunches arent that great but both dinners ive had are awesome. The book is an easy read an I lost 2 lbs in the first day. There is a lot of green tea and water though, and the first cycle is very strict, but it is worth it. Not only do you lose weight but you feel better. In 2 days I wake up feeling refreshed instead of groggy and bloated. And it def doesn’t leave you hungry at all! Your plenty full. I highly recommend it

James asks…

17 day diet book and cd?

What exactly is the 17 day diet based on? Low carbs? Small portions?

I just want a little background on it – since I would like to try it. It was featured on Dr.Phil and The Doctors.

Riverpalm answers:

Sorry hun I didn’t see that but I know that Zumba does a 10 day work out and diet plan as part of their online shop. Its really good exercise alone and I mixed it with a different diet.

Just be careful on fast track diets as they can make you lose loads but if your not exercising you will gain it quickly again after the diet has stopped. And they should only be done for the length of time stated and not longer.

Sharon asks…

does anyone know the recipe for chicken lettuce wraps from the “17 day diet book”?

they made it on the doctors show this morning. but i don’t remember how to make it.

Riverpalm answers:

Scallions, chicken, grapes, and celery mix it up and add a little bit of olive oil and it showed some kind of seasonings, but they did not specify what seasonings were used..hope this helps

Charles asks…

diet pills with 17 day diet?

Does anyone know if it safe or “allowed” to take diet pills while on the 17 day diet?

Riverpalm answers:

You are already on a diet plan, why would you want to add more pills to it. You dont need pills to lose weight, you can do it naturally. Trust me ive been teaching it for 7 years in the Military.

My Response To Your Questions About Forever 21

January 24th, 2012

Thomas asks…

What currency do they use at forever 21 online shop?

Pretty dumb question, but I’m doing some online shopping and was just wondering what currency do they use on the forever 21 website so I can convert it to kiwi dollars?

Riverpalm answers:

US dollars

Robert asks…

How does store credit work at Forever 21?

I am wondering how Forever 21 & H&M do store credit. I think I have returned items there before but how would I be able to tell if I have any store credit. Thank you!

Riverpalm answers:

Store credit is basically a gift card they give you in a form of return payment. They have a policy where you can only return an item within 21 days of the purchase and you only receive store credit if you return it. So whenever you return an item at Forever 21, they give you a gift card with the amount of money that should be returned to you instead of the money back on your credit card or in the form of cash. Then, you can use the store credit at Forever 21 for your next purchase there.

Betty asks…

What’s the difference between Forever 21 and H&M?

I’ve heard H&M has better quality but their styles are not as good as Forever 21. Which would you prefer to shop to? Which one is better?

Riverpalm answers:

Neither has really good quality, but H&M is a little better. So, obviously its a little more expensive.

But I think style wise, H&M is much more sophisticated and chic. Forever 21 sometimes has good stuff, but H&M is more fashion-y. I also think Forever 21 is more for younger girls. I much rather prefer H&M.

Check out their websites, and see which one you like more. Youcan’t shop for H&M online, but you can still see some of their styles and prices.

Charles asks…

What is the Forever 21 Fashion Cents shopping game?

Forever 21 has a game called “Fashion Cents” on facebook. What is the game and do they give discounts in stores to players?

Riverpalm answers:

Nevermore!

Susan asks…

What are some online stores like Forever 21?

I really like forever 21. I love their clothes, but i especially like their jewelry, which is the main reason i asked this question. What are some similar stores to Forever 21 with cute clothes/CUTE JEWELRY?

My Response To Your Questions About Fox News

January 23rd, 2012

Helen asks…

Is FOX NEWS a Liberal Media conspiracy to keep Conservatives completely misinformed?

If it is, it’s working brilliantly, and it does fit in with the propaganda that “the Liberals control all media” while Fox News is the most widely broadcast programming in the USA.

Riverpalm answers:

It doesn’t really matter wether it’s liberal or conservative, they are the same anyway, it’s just a tool of the ruling class to feed people with propaganda and to distract them from the real problems of this country.

George asks…

Why is Fox News the only news organization that reports facts?

All other news organizations report opinion and not facts while Fox News reports facts. Just listen how all the other organizations report how great Obama is when if you sit and think about what Obama is doing that he is a complete idiot. Fox states the facts that he is doing more harm to the country but no other organization will report this.

Riverpalm answers:

That’s why all the other news networks have pathetic ratings compared to Fox. MSNBC, CNN, & BBC, attract the small percentage of far left wing radicals who don’t care about facts. They are like Sarah (who has answered your question) who think it is a good idea for the government to tell us how we should eat by taxing certain foods that the government decides are unhealthy. Obama’s job approval ratings continue to drop, and so are the ratings of the left wing news networks. The numbers don’t lie people. There is a reason people watch Fox and not the other networks. Quite a simple concept actually, but the far left wingers will continue to fight for their cause. Notice that no one that has answered your question from the left except Sarah has any argument, just an ignorant comment.

Sandra asks…

In what ways does Fox News fan ideas about white nationalism?

I need some examples to support my thesis that Fox News is putting in sublimal messages of white supremacy in its immigration coverage. Could someone also comment why Fox News only has attractive white women as anchors?

Riverpalm answers:

Lol? We have a black woman here. Shes pretty hot too though…..

David asks…

Is FOX NEWS using the tragedy of the crisis, to cover their major error SATURDAY ?

Fox News reported for ten minutes saturday…..”THE CONGRESSWOMAN IS DEAD”
“The Congresswoman has been killed by an assassin’s bullit”
Are you surprised, Glenn Beck is helping Fox News with this cover-up.
Hello, is anyone home ?

Riverpalm answers:

Fox, CNN, and MSNBC all reported the same thing for the same amount of time. It wasn’t just Fox

John asks…

How many critics of Fox News actually spend the time to watch it & not attacks from MSNBC or the Daily Show?

Who do nothing but smear Fox News? I don’t think I’ve ever met a Fox News critic who actually spends the time to watch its programming. Ever.

Riverpalm answers:

They watch about 3 seconds of it,same thing i do with msnbc cnn cbs nbc abc

Jenny asks…

How come my firefox keeps on closing on me?

I open it then something pops up saying:

Firefox has stopped working.
Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.

So can anyone help to fix it?

Riverpalm answers:

Firefox is trying to tell you to switch to Google Chrome.

Sandy asks…

Why does Firefox not work since I downloaded yahoo instant messenger?

I have had Firefox, IE, and Google chrome downloaded onto my computer for a while now with no problem. Recently I downloaded YIM and now Firefox doesn’t start up. If I restart my computer a few times, and try to open it a few dozen times each time I restart, it will eventually pop up. How do I fix it? Chrome and IE still work fine but I prefer Firefox.

Riverpalm answers:

That’s because IE is Yahoo’s preferred browser and it’s also where Yahoo AND Messenger work best, with IE.

You’re going to have to choose between Yahoo and FF or get the FF updates FOR Yahoo, which is probably the better choice of the two.

Mandy asks…

How to get FireFox or any browser up first on reboot?

I want to know how to make my browser load fast on reboot. Most of the time, I only need the web browser but it takes ages because of other programs loading.

I hope to find a way to boot up and get web browser straight up. I have IE, and FireFox and I am running windows xp media edition.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Riverpalm answers:

Right click on start -> Click on open. Put the ie or/and firefox shortcut in startup programs.

Thomas asks…

What are some extensions known to slowdown firefox browser?

What are some extensions known to slowdown firefox browser?

Which one can make firefox the more slower?

Can you tell me some of them?

Riverpalm answers:

Out of my experience: FlashGot, as well as – not surprisingly – all the extensions which, by their nature, require connecting to some server (weather forecasts and the like).

But since there’s thousands of add-ons, and thus chances are that I don’t use the same ones as you do: the best thing you can do is just to disable them one by one (go to Tools / Add-ons), then measure how long it takes for Firefox to boot up each time. This will allow you to single out the worst “offenders”.

Also clear up the cache and browser history, perhaps try decreasing the cache size, use some tool for optimizing Firefox databases (Speedyfox for example), there’s many ways to speed Firefox up.

Good news is that the upcoming versions of Firefox are supposed to be improved in the areas of speed and responsiveness (the raising popularity of fast and snappy Google Chrome forced them to focus on it)
