Wise way to earn from AdSense Referrals

While I was looking for free no-ads hosting, I came across this website. It offers 50M hard disk, unlimited transfer, asp supported and Access database. The registration is also very simple. No email, no first name, etc. What you just need are your username and your password. The registration is very fast. It took only seconds to process my request. After that I can access the server using FTP.

And now come the trick. You can only register by using the latest Mozilla Firefox. I was using Firefox 1.0.7 German Edition and my request had been rejected. The Firefox Referral buttons are ready there, one over and one below the registration form.

My Point of view:

Yes they will get the money from the registration, but how much? I got only $0.10 for one download of firefox and they get the money only once. I don’t know how they are finaced. But if they offer a better service, like mySQL database, PHP, I am pretty sure that many people will join this.

Take a look at the website – IP Data Zone

14 Jan 2005 update: While Google keeps improving their Gmail service, they also tend to break the tool’s ability to connect to Gmail. Version 1.0.5 was released to overcome the latest changes. Please be aware that support for this tool may suspend at any time if Google decides to block its use.

It did not seem to work. :(

Names of Hurricanes

As my teacher was explaining about an newspaper excerpt in my German language class, she told us that hurricanes are named according to alphabet order. I’ve do some research on the internet and have found some useful facts.

Hurricanes names are chosen from a list selected by the World Meteorological Organization. The Atlantic is assigned six lists of names, with one list used each year. Every sixth year, the first list begins again. Each name on the list starts with a different letter, for example, the name of the very first hurricane of the season starts with the letter A, the next starts with the letter B, and so on. The letters “Q”, “U”, “X”, “Y” and “Z”, however, are not used.

Often when an unusually destructive hurricane hits, that hurricane’s name is retired and never used again. Since 1954, forty names have been retired. In 1996 Hurricane Luis was retired. Is your name among the currently used or retired hurricane names? (I’m not listed. I wonder if the Malays were to give name to the hurricanes… )
