Finally! A Great RapidShare Tip!

Hey everyone! I’m here with a very impressive tip for all of you! Have ever tried to download from RapidShare only to know that you can’t download more than once or twice in a row? How many times did you try to find a solution for that but failed? How many programs you tried before realizing they all sucked?

Well, now I’m here to present you with the ultimate hack for RapidShare! Yeah, you heard right!

In order to download repeatedly from RapidShare, yeah, repeatedly, you only need one thing to know, and you’re set to go!

You need access to your router! that’s it!

For you who don’t know how to access their router, well, I will put here some pointers.

First, you need to go to your router’s homepage. If you’re not sure how to go there just check your network connection’s properties.

  1. Go to “My Network Places” then click on “View network connections” to the left.

  2. Right click your active connection (the one that provides you with Internet access); most likely it will be named something like “Local Area Connection.” After you right click it, choose “Status” from the drop down menu.
  3. Choose the “Support” tab, and look to “Default Gateway.” You’ll find a number (mostly it will be something like 10.0.0.138 or something). Take the number and paste it in your internet browser.

    Alternative method: Go to “Run” under Start–>type “cmd”–>type “ipconfig”–>take the number from the “Default Gateway”

  4. You will be required to enter the username and the password of the router. If you don’t know that, you need to contact your router provider or something. Otherwise, you’re screwed!

    PS: You may be able to find some of the more common user names and password for routers (e.g. username=admin password=admin , username = root password = root).

    After that, you need to find a link that will enable you to restart or disconnect your router. You will need to do that in order to enjoy RapidShare’s fountain of treasure!

    So, bottom line is: Disconnect your router from the Web page and the connect it again, that way you’ll be able to download endlessly from RapidShare.com!

    Been a pleasure to help you :)

Jamie Lee Curtis… Naked?

It seems the famous star Jamie Lee Curtis is actually taking her top off! Yeah,she’s posing nude for the AARP, the nonprofit organization for people 50 and over, when she celebrates her birthday November 22. Of course, CNN had done an interview with the star… for all of you who wish to read the interview, please follow this link: Jamie Lee Curtis Naked.

Wow, I didn’t know such a magazine existed that celebrated old people (well, old famous people)! :P . But I guess that’s a bold move from Jamie Lee Curtis — posing nude and showing her body and being so brave about it! I know I can’t do that right now!

Hehehe.

What the…? Harry Potter?

I recently read this piece of news and I wanted to share my thoughts on it. Recently at a CNN interview with the creator of the best-selling series “Harry Potter,” J.K. Rowling, she revealed that she had suicidal thoughts before the debut of the Harry Potter books! The news piece is here :

LONDON, England (CNN) — Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has revealed she thought of killing herself while penniless and suffering from depression as a single mother, according to a report in Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper.

If you want to read the rest of the interview, go to this link: The interview .

Well, this is so sad to know that there are people willing to take out their own lives! She had a daughter for crying out loud! And yet she still thought of suicide; that’s got to be real depression. Do you guys think some level of depression could make you take out your own lives? Know there are people who love you and care about you? Knowing, to some extent, you DO make a difference?

Tutorial: Japanese Grammar Lesson 1

Hey everyone! I’m sorry for this overdue lesson,but I had issues… nVm! On to the lesson!

Most languages (or at least the English one) are SVO while Japanese is SOV. I don’t want to get into this grammar BS,so let’s just dive right into the action!

Just a side note, I’ll be writing with both hirigana and romaji for this lesson. I’ll try to write only with hirigana later on!

1- Subject wa Object desu.

This structure is the basic one. You’re probably wondering what it does mean at this point?! “Wa” is a particle. A particle in Japanese are sentence structure parts that define what the preceding word signifies or what function it does in a particular sentence.

So “Wa” here functions as a topic marker, it means that the preceding word is actually what the sentence revolves around! Don’t think hard about this,you’ll get the hang of it with practice! Yeah,you can’t possibly hope to accomplish anything in anything without some practice!

So, to get things started I’ll give you some example! It’s a simple one, so don’t worry.

Tanaka-san wa wakai desu.

The sentence means literally: As for Tanaka-san young is. Of course this doesn’t make any much sense! So you’ll have to drop translating sentences into English first! You HAVE to understand Japanese as a stand alone language! I don’t mean you can’t actually translate Japanese sentences into English,but I mean you have to understand Japanese on its own accord. Oh boy,I just keep going on and on and you probably got lost along the way, didn’t you?

Well, to simplify things, you just need to understand Japanese without actually referring to English grammar rules. So, in Japanese,the topic subject comes before “Wa” and almost always the verb, the main verb of the sentence that is, comes last in the sentence! These are some basic rules you need to keep in your mind at all times.

So,back to our example, Tanaka-san wa….Well,it is pretty much obvious that when we started this sentence we are planning on talking about Tanaka-san… so that pretty much makes him our topic subject! Get it now?

So, Tanaka-san wa wakai… well,wakai is an adjective. OK, I know most of you slept through English classes so I’ll make more clear. An adjective is a word that describes something or someone’s state or ability or anything, it’s a description word meaning “young.”

Again with this dude, Tanaka-san. Tanaka-san wa wakai desu..These things just keeping on coming, don’t they?! Well, desu is a copula. A copula is a word used to link the subject of a sentence with a predicate (a subject complement or an adverbial). Well, it almost always translates to “to be,” so it may mean “is,” “are,” or “am.” Well,this sentence shows us that we’re talking about this Japanese dude named Tanaka-san and that he is young. Well, that may not be of much concern to most of us, but hey, who said we couldn’t learn from that?!

So, that’s it for our little first lesson. Please keep practicing, cuz you know what they say: “practice makes perfect!”

Here are some words you might wanna use:

  1. watashi = I (as in I am).

  2. anata = you (it’s preferable to call people by their names rather with this pronoun).
  3. wakai = young.
  4. kuruma = car.
  5. tsukue = table.
  6. ringo = apple.
  7. neko = cat.

Well,that should keep you going! I’m here for any comments or suggestions,I have told you before, but I have not learned Japanese the official way (academic way) but rather from my years of watching Anime and some helpful sites out there :) So I if made a mistake, I’m open for suggestions!

Cya next lesson!
