Its also dependent on the processing capabilities and internet connection of the server. If they are capable you should have no problem with 10-15 players. It may even get more. The problems arise when mods (if your using them) start to impact the performance and players are building in and loading various chunks of the world all round the place, and how much stuff is changed.

If there are no mods at all, people don’t mess around with huge quanities of TNT, and all the buildings and players are somewhat localized, then you could easily get 30 people with 4GBs of RAM.

Its mods that really start to destroy servers when people are building machines to do stuff, chunk loaders, power suits and portals and all that stuff. Basically, Feed the Beast servers… about 5-10 people could easily start building stuff that’ll destroy your server. If I’ve made myself clear, its not the people that lag the server really, but what they do and make. Static structures wont do anything, but say a monster-spawner that is always close enough to be consistently loaded and operational will be a portion of the detrimental damage to the consistency of a server.

If you are serious about websites either for personal or your business, don’t go to free web hosting as they are usually not reliable and you may end up losing all your hard work. Free web hosts usually put advertisements on your websites and it could be annoying.

If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months’ time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.

I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.

Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukenden/

They offer hosting of “unlimited domains” and you will get massive webspace of 300000 MB (300 GB ). They only charge .95/month and they offer “a free Domain Name” and installing service called “Fantastico”. By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer “Free Website Builder” as well.
Visit the site to check details.

Chosen Answer:

Nothing, a belief is a belief.

I really like this explanation:
We form our beliefs for a variety of subjective, personal, emotional, and psychological reasons in the context of environments created by family, friends, colleagues, culture, and society at large; after forming our beliefs we then defend, justify, and rationalize them with a host of intellectual reasons, cogent arguments, and rational explanations. Beliefs come first, explanations for beliefs follow.

The brain is a belief engine. From sensory data flowing in through the senses the brain naturally begins to look for and find patterns, and then infuses those patterns with meaning. The first process Dr. Shermer calls patternicity: the tendency to find meaningful patterns in both meaningful and meaningless data. The second process he calls agenticity: the tendency to infuse patterns with meaning, intention, and agency.

We can’t help believing. Our brains evolved to connect the dots of our world into meaningful patterns that explain why things happen. These meaningful patterns become beliefs. Once beliefs are formed the brain begins to look for and find confirmatory evidence in support of those beliefs, which adds an emotional boost of further confidence in the beliefs and thereby accelerates the process of reinforcing them, and round and round the process goes in a positive feedback loop of belief confirmation. Dr. Shermer outlines the numerous cognitive tools our brains engage to reinforce our beliefs as truths and to insure that we are always right.

Interlaced with his theory of belief, Dr. Shermer provides countless real-world examples of belief from all realms of life, and in the end he demonstrates why science is the best tool ever devised to determine whether or not a belief matches reality.

Chosen Answer:

Naruto/Naruto Shippuden
Bleach
Kaichou wa Maid Sama
Rurouni Kenshin
Pandora Hearts
Full-Metal Alchemist
Skip Beat
Toradora
Eureka 7
Special A

I listed them in order, from top to bottom, based on which was my most favorite.

You can find them with English Subtitles on http://www.animecrazy.net/most-popular/ OR http://www.watchanimeon.com/ These websites also tell you the descriptions of each of those anime. It also has over a thousand different anime with rankings and reviews.

You can also find LOTS of AMV (Anime Music Videos) on these on Youtube.

They are all really popular, funny, and romantic for some of them, but for some, romance is not the main focus, like in Pandora Hearts, Bleach, Naruto/Naruto Shippuden, but they do, I guess, have romantic scenes/sweet scenes.

The story-line for ALL of them are really interesting and amazing, especially Naruto, Bleach, and Rurouni Kenshin. There’s really amazing character development in all of them as well. Especially in Bleach and Naruto/Naruto Shippuden. Naruto Shippuden is my favorite Shounen. Kaichou wa Maid Sama is my favorite Shoujo. ALL of them are DEFINITELY worth a shot.

You should really check all of those out. I loved all of them so much. And Death Note & Ouran High School Host Club were also one of my favorites but you watched them already. Hahaha. Good luck!

When you buy a domain name you are purchasing a right to use a system that converts the name into an internet address. You then must purchase a website from a web hosting service; godaddy.com , hostmonster.com are two I know. Google “web hosting”. Then you need site software for your store. joomla might be a good place to start. If your store isnt real, ie you arent going to collect money, dont worry about a SSL certificate. The answer to your last question is YES. Have fun!

Chosen Answer:

Here are some of my favorite sci-fi/action/romance novels from recent reading. Summaries from http://dystopianrealms.blogspot.com.

The Shore of Monsters and Fall of Darkness by David J. Nix – Five generations earlier, a horde of monsters nearly obliterated humanity. All males are dead or ruined by a monster plague; words like ‘father’ and ‘romance’ have lost meaning. When teenager Sky joins an expedition to the shore that falls apart, she must survive amongst the monsters that roam the ruins. She gets unexpected help from a very surprising source. Mystery, action, and romance follow!

Dustlands by Moira Young – In a post-apocalyptic future, 18-year-old Saba’s twin brother is stolen by black-clad riders. When tough-as-nails Saba launches a relentless search to recover him, she must fight for her life in gladiator cages, overcome enemies both creature and human, and learn to trust others for the first time. And try as she might, she can’t help but fall for the charming scoundrel Jack, who just may understand her more than she knows. The author tells Saba’s story in a raw first person format that blows you away. Must read for dystopian lovers!

The Long Walk by Stephen King – King’s first novel, it gathered dust for years before printing. In a future society where reality shows rule, 100 boys set out on a walk. The rules are simple: average four miles per hour. If you fall behind you get warned. If you get three warnings, the punishment is absolutely horrifying. To the last boy standing goes the spoils. The novel is striking in its prediction of the current culture’s thirst for reality television, and foretold of King’s greatness as an author of the gruesome.

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan – Seven generations have passed since the Return, a plague that reanimates dead humans into creatures that feed on the living. Teenager Mary lives inside one of the last enclaves of uninfected, protected by a chain link fence that surrounds her village. When the fence is breached, Mary flees the village with a small band of survivors. Their flight toward an uncertain salvation is both harrowing and revealing, as they try to determine if they are humanity’s last hope.

Shipbreaker by Paolo Bacigalupi – In a near future where oil has run dry, grounded oil tankers are scavenged for parts by teenage crews. Seventeen-year-old Nailer works the dangerous duty, hoping to survive his job and his murderous father. When he discovers a luxury yacht wrecked by a storm, he faces a difficult decision: scavenge the ship to become rich, or rescue the sole survivor, a beautiful, wealthy teenage girl. His decision propels him into more danger, adventure, and love than he had ever counted on!

How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff – Fascinating novel about the outbreak of a 21st century world war as seen through the eyes of Daisy, a 15 year old American staying with her cousins on a remote England farm. At first utopian, the kid’s existence degenerates into horror as the war encroaches on the farm. Through the several month period covered by the story, Daisy grows from a self-centered girl into a determined survivor. This book will leave a mark on the reader for years to come.

The House of Scorpion by Nancy Farmer – In a book of futuristic fiction that seems more plausible by the year, the author portrays a near-future world where the U.S. and Mexico have ceded land to drug cartels in an attempt to stabilize their border. The story follows a motherless clone, Matt, born into this dark place as a pawn of the drug trade. As he learns about his world, sometimes through horrible events, he begins to seek escape from his desperate life. Well-formed characters bring utter realism to the telling.

Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden – In a fantastic coming-of-age novel, Ellie tells the story of the invasion of her homeland of Australia by a foreign power. She escapes to the outback with six of her friends, where they make plans to fight a guerilla war against the occupiers. Ellie tells the story with superb sensitivity and insight, which generates the power that makes a good story a remarkable one. The relationships amongst the teens are incredibly realistic, and the accounts of armed conflicts are riveting.

Uglies by Scott Westerfield – In a future society, a mandatory operation at age 16 wipes out physical differences, turning “Uglies” into “Pretties”. The Pretties are allowed freedom to play, while the Uglies jealously await their turn. Ugly Tally has gotten into trouble that may forfeit her operation. The menacing government offers her a way out: find a group of rebel Uglies, infiltrate, and betray them. Tally agrees, but upon finding the rebels comes to understand the terrible price of becoming pretty.
