CopyScape Followup - Is There REALLY Free CopyScape?

Okay, so usually I'm not the researcher type (unless I feel like researching about something LOL) but I just found myself searching for a trick to "cheat" on CS. earlier I posted about having wrong info about getting free CS checking. It turned out that he was right actually. The catch though is that I have to make a new account every time I hit the limit of checking my articles In the article that I have spotted on the Internet, I read that there is a limit of five (5) articles ONLY. This did not happen to me. My case was that I THINK that I was able to check 12 articles or even more. Probably around the 10-12 bracket but not less than 10 I even think that I surpassed the number 12 haha. I guess it was around 14 or so.

The good thing is that I learned something new today but I am still that lazy person so you can guess it: I will NOT create new blogger or WP account each time I reach that effing limit. No thanks! LOL

Is There Such a Thing as FREE CopyScape?

Okay so I am creating this blog just to be able to check my work on Copyscape. Someone told me that if I have a Blogger account or a WordPress account I will be able to check plagiarism for my articles for FREE. So far for me this is not true LOL. It worked for a while but I don't really know if Copyscape provides a free access for each month for its users. I was able to check my work without fee by simply posting my articles here on Blogger and sending the link to Copyscape. It worked for two days. I think I was able to check 12 articles but I'm not really sure I think it was more than that. Anyway, I am now getting an error from CS saying that I have reached the maximum number of blah-blah for this month (I think it goes something like that). I don't want to research about CS to find out if it really has a limit for free users and how many articles is the limit. Who cares? It didn't work for me anyway and I am not buying a premium account there.

How Do You Get More Cafe Cash in Cafe World?

If you are play Cafe World like me, you definitely look forward to having more Cafe Cash. This is expensive though and personally I think it's ridiculous to spend real money on a game. Due to issues with the game, I created a new account since my old one can no longer enter the game. I have been playing the game for less than a month now, probably around 3 weeks. And yet I can say that I have plenty of Cafe Cash.

Here's what my cafe looks like:


While it is not as fancy as other cafes out there (I've seen really awesome designs!), take a look at my cafe cash. You can have that or even more. All you need is patience and of course, the right automation tool.

If you are against automation, then exit. However, if you think that automation does help (although people consider it as cheating), then this is for you. You can earn loads of Cafe Cash, get the items you need so you finish quests faster, and you get to help your friends as well. The secret is FGS or Fancy Gaming Simplifier. Its original name is Friendly Gaming Simplifier. Others call it Facebook Gaming Simplifier. It lives up to its name because you can use it with other Facebook games. I cannot attest to that though since I have heard about some issues with Farmville. Nevertheless, many use it for Cityville and Cafe World. There are many other games in Facebook where you can use this automation tool.

Here is the download link: http://www.facebook.com/OfficialFriendlyGamingSimplifier/app_10467688569

Make sure that you LIKE the page first to get the download link for your browser. Once you have downloaded the tool, it will appear as an extension for your browser.


To begin, you need to click on the extension and wait for it to load. After that, you can specify what game you would like to use it for. I use it for Cafe World only. When you are ready to begin, it should look like this:


Now, onto the Cafe Cash. Click on ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION. You will mostly find lotto tickets here. Accumulate tickets and click on them one by one. Usually, I click the middle part and voila!


I have read somewhere that you can get luckier if you click on the #2 just next to LEVEL UP on the right side. I did and yes, I did get a cafe cash.


Like what I said above, you need patience. If you don't collect the lotto tickets, they will accumulate. You might find it difficult to open them all. I'm still looking for a speedier way to collect these kinds of items but right now, FGS is the best automation tool I've got.

Happy playing!

How Long Does It Take for PayPal Money to Appear in Your Bank Account?

The title of this post should be "Why did PayPal turn into a greedy monster?" Many months ago when I first started using PayPal, I only had to wait two days (one and a half days if I'm lucky) to get my money from PayPal to my bank account. Now, it takes four days! It's not good especially when I really need the funds. I hate waiting (Who doesn't anyway?)

It's probably not PayPal's fault but UnionBank's. After all, PayPal informed me that they are already transferring the money. Nevertheless, I'm really disappointed in what PayPal has turned to be. They are now charging high fees. When I first used their service, I get the exact amount that my clients pay me. Now they deduct high fees from my money whenever my clients send me money. It's not fair! *Sobs*

What happened to the old PayPal that neevr charged anything for transfers? Sure, gifts don't have deductions but all my clients pay me using the traditional service without even changing the transaction as a gift.

I wish PayPal would return to the way it was - a free money service provider (if that's correct). But of course, once someone or something becomes greedy, it will only get worse and never better for us customers.

Sigh!

How Do You Speed Up Torrent Downloads?

If you are downloading a movie from thepiratebay.org using your torrent client, it will normally take days to finish it. This is true if you have very slow connection and if there are not enough seeders. Seeders are those that seed (obviously) the download usually for days. Instead of simply downloading the file, they would seed it so that others can get the file or program quickly. The opposite is a leecher which I normally become to speed up my download.

So how do you do this? First is to make sure your torrent client is open. Then, right click on your download. Point to Bandwidth Allocation and select HIGH.


After that, right click on your download again. Point to Bandwidth Allocation again and go to SET DOWNLOAD LIMIT. Make sure it is set to UNLIMITED



Next, go to Set Upload Limit below Set Download Limit. This time, make sure it is at 1 kb/s



And that's it. Your download will be faster, you LEECH! LOL

Another thing to note is that like what I have mentioned, the file that you may be downloading does not have enough seeders. It is always recommended that you choose a file that has many seeders. The more seeders, the faster the download.

In thepiratebay.org, click on SE to sort the results by the number of seeders.


As you can see, the one with the highest number of seeders will place at the top.

Tip: Even though a file has thousands of seeders, your connection still plays a role in the speed of the download. Beware of downloads that come from Anonymous uploaders which have thousands of seeders. Not only did you waste your time waiting for the download to finish but you may also get a virus when you open the file. Look at this:


This has 13000+++ seeders. It's impossible for it to acquire such huge number of seeders when it was just uploaded 54 minutes ago. To make sure that you are downloading the right thing, always check the comments. If there are no comments and yet the file has thousands of seeders, you can bet it is fake.

Have fun downloading!

How Do You Download Movies?

Some movies are great but most are not so awesome. In fact, movies like Battleship bored me to death. I skipped the movie and went out of the cinema. The movie is so crap that I didn't care about the cash I paid to see it. i just wanted to go home before the half part of the movie. Then I regretted it. I wish there are refunds when the movie is so bad. After all, we're the customers. But of course, that would be a perfect world. And right now, our world is not perfect...even Hollywood is failing to deliver quality movies.

So what I do is download movies over the Internet instead of going to the cinemas (unless the trailer is so good). How do I do it? The answer is very simple and it is quite well-know. All you need is to visit thepiratebay.org. Alternatively, you can use the direct link here: thepiratebay.se. Searching the movie is pretty easy. All you need to do is to enter the title of the movie. Take a look at this:


thepiratebay.org
Press Enter and your results will look like this:


results page

Click on one of the results and download.


download page

As you can see, there are at least three boxes that says DOWNLOAD. Pretty tricky huh? The link that you should click is the one that says GET THIS TORRENT. 



When you click on the encircled link above, it will open your torrent client (if it's set to respond that way). If you don't know what a torrent client is or you don't have one, I recommend using BitTorrent It's the one I've been using for many years now and so far, no problems with the program. You can get your copy of the software here: http://www.bittorrent.com/downloads It's a free program. :)

Now, back to downloading your movie. You should start downloading it now and soon, you will have the movie and watch it at your own PC without paying the movie theater. If you don't like the movie you have downloaded, delete it from your PC.

Tip: Since there are plenty of results when you search for a movie in Pirate Bay, you have to be careful of those that upload viruses along with the files. Beware of files that come in .RAR format. Movies should be in AVI, MP4 or MKV.

Happy downloading!

How Do You Get Full Versions of Games?

If you are a gamer like me and you don't have enough cash to pay for games, you can still play. I know some people will protest and say that this is illegal. Can't argue with that :D

Anyway, when I like a game and want to try it out before I buy it, I don't use the demo version. I download the game in full. How do I do that? It's quite simple. Just add .rar at the end of the game.

For instance, you want the full version of Diner Dash, simply go to Google or any search engine and type Diner Dash.rar. Proper capitalization is not necessary. As long as it has the .rar extension in it, you will find the full version.



Since Diner Dash is a series, make sure that you add the name of the game that you are searching for. Example, you want Diner Dash Flo on the Go, type in Diner Dash Flo on the Go.rar. 



You need WinZip or WinRAR (or other similar pieces of software) to open the files though. After you have tried out the full version and you like it, I recommend that you support the developers by buying the game.

Don't hate. Appreciate :D

What are the Credit Cards for Beginners in the Philippines?

I have been searching for credit cards in the Philippines which can be used by people with no credit. So far, no luck. I am thinking of getting a credit card from UnionBank since I have a savings account there. However, I'm not sure if they permit people with limited credit history. What's more, the savings account is not under my name. LOL. It bears my sister's name. I asked her to get me a card since I don't have SSS number or TIN which is a requirement for the EON card. I don't even have a valid ID right now. HAHA!

But that's not my main problem. What I want is a credit card for beginners in the Philippines. I can get an ID and even a Social Security Number but I don't think I can get a credit card. I have been writing about credit cards for some time now and they have touched my heart (LOL). I want one. Do you know which card is best for people with no credit yet? Let me know.
