In one way or another we’ve all now been effected by the economic slow downs. With everything from job cuts, advertising revenue dropping, and production slowing in some form or fashion everybody has had an encounter with the ever decreasing economy. Sometimes I get the feeling I’m the only person around actually trying to increase my production… I know it’s not true a good number of businesses have been taking advantage of the low costs on production to prepare themselves for the good times.

Now even the most stable of companies are cutting jobs. Viacom (who I was working for earlier this year) is cutting 849 jobs. The cuts are a preemptive strike at keeping costs down and preparing for “possible slow downs in advertising costs” as stated by Viacom. It’s a pretty funny change from when I was working for them two years ago where I’d report that I wasn’t following through with something yet because it would cost tons of money for little productivity on my part… to which they laughed and said “Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of money just do what you were going to do and send in your time sheet.” But I guess that’s why they have so much operational money, they take action before there is any real problem… Chevy and Ford could take some notes from them

Personally I’ve felt the crunch big time. Being that 90% of my income is currently from advertising either ad clicks with my Yahoo, and ScribeFire accounts on my various websites, or from paid posting with SocialSpark and PayPerPost both on here and my personal blog CodySortore.com the remaining 10% of my income comes from sales on my handcrafted jewelry website ArchmailleDesigns.com I’ve seen a decline in all areas now though. My average cost per click went from 0.40 earlier this year to about 0.10 over the last three months. PayPerPost has been extremely hard to find opportunities, and at that they are paying less and less every day. With an increase of $5 opportunities it’s hard to make a living from only three posts a day, and with a decrease in the number of posts more $5 posts have been taken by bloggers. Jewelry sales have also decreased, making it nearly impossible to make a living in any of my respective niches. On one hand I’m glad that I don’t have to worry about being one of the 850 that is fired from Viacom without time to prepare, on the other hand I sort of wish that I had hung on a little bit longer and continued to bring in the cash flow from them while ramping up the blogging.

Now I’ve had a lot of people searching for combat arms aimbot, or other combat arms hacks. I don’t have chamms, aimbots, or anything like that on this site as I don’t really have any need for them. But if you’re looking for Combat Arms Aimbot you can check out that link. It just might have the information you are looking for to get the edge you need.

There’s a lot of n00bs out there who can’t play games without cheats or hacks, so what the heck why not fill up the SE’s with worthless junk that makes them search longer and harder for cheats or hacks? I hate playing with people who can’t play for themselves so therefore I also like to make things a little bit harder for people to get the things that make playing no fun. By linking to something that is going to do nothing but frustrate a few people and possibly help them in giving up on hacks I in turn am doing myself a service

If you suck so bad that you need aimbots, hacks, and cheats to win… well find something else to do.

Does your sports team use radar guns? Do you wish that you had a radar gun available to you for use at sporting events, or for practice? Every thing from baseball to racing uses radar guns in some form or fashion any more. If you can’t keep track of your speed you’ll never improve. It’s important for any sports player whether that sport be baseball, or if you’re into racing of any kind, for you to be able to accurately keep track of your progress, and know where you need improvement. Professional radar guns for all situations can help you to keep accurate records.

Many recruiters also use radar guns to verify a pitchers speed. The speed of a pitch is very important when it comes to how likely you are to strike another player out. Maybe you do great in the league you are in, but if you were to move up you might want to improve a little bit. Know where you stand compared to some of the great players out there. Or for racing types use a radar gun to verify your speeds, speedometers can often be inaccurate, or if you’re talking about go-kart racing, or bicycle racing there is no speedometer so radar guns can help you know what pace you are keeping.

haha!В  Mac admits it’s weak just like the rest of the OS’s out there.В  For years the Machintosh corporation loved to tote around that “they didn’t get virus’ like Windows users do” etc. etc. when the reality was simply that there weren’t enough Mac systems out there to get virus’ all the time.В  No point in targetting someone for attack when you’ve only got 1% of the market share.В  Well with Windows Vista offering free Antivirus, and Free Antispyware software in mid 2009… and at a recent hacker convention the Mac computers being compromised a full day before Windows or Linux systems could be hacked into… Mac is starting to feel a little vulnerable.В  Here are a couple of spoof commercials to help lighten the mood

MAC: Uhhhh PC
PC: What is it MAC
MAC: Well I’ve got this rash and it hurts when I pee.
PC: Oh thats a virus MAC, not to worry, I’m sure your anti-virus will get rid of it
MAC: My what?
PC: Don’t you use protection MAC?
MAC: ???? Protection thats for PC’s, I’m a MAC we don’t get viruses!!!!
PC: Well you have one, and well your probably going to die from it.
MAC: BUT……
PC: Yep you whored yourself around around without being safe and now look at you.
MAC: ……..
PC: OH PC’s are stuffy, Vista has annoying popups, BLA BLA BLA….. I hope you suffer!
MAC: Can’t you help me PC!!! I’ll be better I swear!
PC: Well I guess I could ask my DAD Bill gates, If he could pay for a doctor visit.
MAC: REALLY! Wow that’s swell PC!! I love you PC.
PC: I love you to MAC.

And I love this one… because it shows typical Mac response to the issue.

Mac (Muffled): Hello, I’m a Mac
PC: Hello, I’m a PC.
PC: Hey Mac, I see you’re all better now, but…
Mac (muffled): But what? I feel great!
PC: But why are you wearing 2 large body condoms?
Mac: Oh, this is Apple’s new iDoubleBag program to fight off nasty viruses, because you never can be too safe, you know.
PC: Uh, I thought Macs didn’t get viruses.
Mac: Well, it turns out that viruses just didn’t know we were out there. Now that Leapord has sold so many copies, I’m feeling a little exposed.
PC: Honestly, you look pretty ridiculous.
Mac: Yeah, well, it is a bit stuffy in here, and I do feel a bit sluggish.
PC: I think that’s because you’re running out of air.
Mac: Yeah….well…..(Thud)
PC: Uh, Mac?
