Their salary/hourly calculator is accessible without a free membership, but you will not be able to print the pay stub if you do not register. The registration is easy: type your name, e-mail, phone, number of employees and how you learned about the site. Paycheckcity.com will then e-mail you a User ID and access code. You can change the latter when you log in.
Pick the salary or hourly calculator. At the top of the page, select the appropriate tax year and state.

How to Create a Forum With HTMLIn Feburary 2016 22,

In Feburary 2016 22,
Buy a domain name. You can think of the domain name as being the address for your internet web site. Whenever a surfer types your domain into the address bar on their web browser, they will be taken to your web site. Therefore, buying a domain name is the first step in the process of creating your forum. If you already have a web site and domain name, then you can skip this step.
Obtain web hosting. Now that you have a domain name, you will need to have a web hosting service to host the files associated with your forum. A web host is essentially a company that owns servers and other computer hardware, and allows you to lease space on their servers for a small monthly fee. The cost will depend on how much disk space and bandwidth your forum will require. Most new forums require few system resources, so you can always start out with the most basic hosting plan, and then upgrade your account as your forum gains popularity.
Create a MySQL database for your forum. After you have an account with a web host, they will provide you with access to a Control Panel on their server, which you will use to manage your account. From the Control Panel, there should be a link or button that you can click to create a new MySQL database. This is a very simple process that basically just requires you to fill out a short form and to let the server create the database for you. Once it has been created, you will be given the database name, user name and user password.
Choose a forum script to use on your web site. There are a large number of forum scripts to choose from. The three most popular are Vbulletin, phpBB and Simple Machines Forum (SMF). Vbulletin carries an annual fee for use of the software, but that money is used to hire professional developers to constantly work on improving the forum script. Both phpBB and SMF are free forum scripts that have received a large amount of international recognition for providing high quality message board software without charging anything for the product.
Install the script for your forum. After selecting a forum script in the previous step, download the files for the script and upload them to your web hosting account. The easiest way is to use an FTP program, such as SmartFTP. Once the files have been uploaded to the server, simply visit your site by typing the domain name into your browser’s address bar. The installation script should begin to run automatically. You will be prompted for the database name, user name and user password that you were given when you created the database during Step 3. Remember to delete the installation directory from your server after you have installed the forum. This will be a folder titled either “install” or “installation”. Simply right click on the folder from your FTP software, then select delete, and click “ok” when asked if you are sure.
Configure your forum. After your forum has been installed, log in to the forum using the administrator user name and password that was created during the installation process. This will take you into the administrative control panel, which is not seen by normal forum visitors. This is where you will create forum categories, define how many messages per page, set user permission and make other configurations that will govern how your forum runs. Once your forum has been configured, it is ready to be used by the general public.

Can I Host My Own Website on My Computer?In Feburary 2016 18,

In Feburary 2016 18,
When hosting a website, upload speed is critical. Incoming traffic on a web server consists mostly of page requests, which are small packets of information easily handled by a broadband connection. The web server responds to a request by sending (uploading) the information on the server to the remote computer. Most Internet service providers (ISPs) base their connection speeds on the available download bandwidth. Upload speeds are generally half of the rated download. You will need at least a DSL connection to host a website that loads on a remote computer in a reasonable amount of time.
Hardware
A web server doesn't necessarily have to be a powerhouse computer. It simply handles file requests and sends requested pages and information. Don't use your personal computer though. When you host an Internet site, you are inviting everyone in the world to access your host computer. Any personal information located on the server will be considered fair game by hackers.In addition to a server computer, you will need a router to direct Internet traffic through your local network onto the web. The router should be capable of port forwarding (all http requests go through port 80) and should have physical Ethernet ports to connect to the server. Wi-Fi connections aren't as fast or reliable as hard-wired connections.
Software
Special web server software is necessary to set a computer up as a web host. Microsoft Internet Information Server can be downloaded free from the Microsoft website. It allows users to host websites on Windows-based PCs. Linux, Apache, MySQL and myPHP (LAMP) is another free option for web hosting software. In a LAMP installation, Linux is the base operating system, Apache functions as the web server, MySQL is the database engine and myPHP processes host PHP script requests. LAMP is available free for Ubuntu, Debian and SUSE installations as well as commercial Linux releases like Red Hat.
Address
You will need to register a domain name, like myhomedomain.com, so visitors can locate your server. There is a small fee associated with this. Domain registrars offer a variety of services for a variety of prices. Once the domain name is registered, you will have to submit it to a DNS server. Unlike domain registration, this step is available as a free service from some organizations. The last portion of your address to consider is whether you have a static or dynamic IP address. A static IP address never changes. This makes it easier for the DNS servers to keep track of your website and is required by some e-commerce applications. Dynamic IP addresses change periodically. Most ISPs have an additional charge for static IP addresses.

How to Connect to WiFi at Starbucks for FreeIn Feburary 2016 03,

In Feburary 2016 03,
As of publication, Starbucks is in the process of switching from AT&T to Google Wi-Fi services. Locations still using AT&T offer Wi-Fi with the SSID 'attwifi,' while Google locations use the SSID 'Google Starbucks.' Even if it has 'Starbucks' in the name, don't connect to any other networks you find in the area -- they aren't legitimate Starbucks connections.
Windows Public Wi-Fi Settings
Unsecured public Wi-Fi like that offered by Starbucks requires some careful settings within Windows to protect your system. When setting up the connection, choose the
Public network option and select the
Turn off network discovery and
Turn off file and printer sharing radio buttons to switch off all file and device-sharing options in order to limit access to your computer's files on this network.
Virtual Private Networks
Setting up a virtual private network is a good way to prevent your connection from eavesdropping. VPNs create encrypted connections between two points on a network, namely your computer and a website. Without the VPN's decryption key, it's extremely difficult for hackers to decode any data they intercept. SecurityKISS, CyberGhost VPN and VPNBook are all free VPN services that offer a secure, encrypted connection between your computer and online resources like websites and chat clients. These services are generally very similar, differing primarily in how they encrypt the connections and how much data can be transmitted over the connection per day.
Secure Website Connections
Secure websites are also very useful for preventing information theft while on Starbucks Wi-Fi. You can tell websites are secure by checking the URL for a 'HTTPS' prefix, as well as a little lock icon in the address bar. Chrome, Firefox and Opera also have extensions like HTTPS Everywhere, SSL Enforcer and ForceHTTPS, which automatically enable security features like HTTPS or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption or block sites without these features. While relying completely on these extensions and HTTPS-enabled websites won't guarantee safety using a public connection, they can be useful tools when used with other safety measures.
Sensitive Information
Generally, you should never use public Wi-Fi to look at sensitive information like bank accounts or credit cards. Even taking all the precautions you can, there is still a chance of data interception and identity theft. Access sensitive information only on trusted, secured networks.
Other Safety Tips
Never access public Wi-Fi connections without up-to-date anti-virus and anti-malware software, and, whenever possible use two-factor authentication. Whenever you're not using the connection, switch your computer to airplane mode or switch off Wi-Fi to prevent unauthorized access via the network. Also, delete the connection from your connection list when you're done, unless you use the Wi-Fi at that particular Starbucks frequently.

How to Update Public DNS RecordsIn Feburary 2016 01,

In Feburary 2016 01,
Log into the domain manager section of your web host’s website. For example, if your website is hosted by GoDaddy.com, you will have to log into your user account with GoDaddy.com to access and update the DNS records.
Select the domain for which you want to update DNS records. Almost all website hosting companies have a feature for updating the DNS records of websites you own or have administrative or technical access to.
Update the IP address of the domain you have selected. Remember that the IP address is a series of numbers that were provided to you by your new hosting company. Once you’ve done this, your website’s DNS records should be updated with 24 hours.

How to Link a Domain Name to a Web Hosting PageIn Feburary 2016 01,

In Feburary 2016 01,
Obtain the DNS nameservers used by the company hosting your actual website. These are unique addresses that look something like web addresses (e.g., 'ns1.yourwebhost.com', 'ns2.yourwebhost.com'). There are usually at least two nameservers like these; often, your hosting company provides these to you at signup. If not, contact the hosting company for this information.
Change the DNS nameservers where your domain name is registered to the nameservers provided by your hosting company. Each registrar handles this step differently, but in most cases, you can access your domain name's nameservers online by logging into your account at the registrar's website. If you cannot easily find where to make these changes, contact the company where your domain is registered and ask how to do this. It usually takes between 24 and 48 hours for the changes to take effect once you change the nameservers.
Login to your web hosting account and associate your domain name with your website. Again, this process is different for each provider. Sometimes, you will already have a website created with a temporary web address; other times, you will access your online file manager and create a new folder for the domain name. Consult your hosting company's help documentation, or call the support line if you need assistance with this step. Your domain name will point to whatever webpage you have created as soon as the DNS nameserver changes take effect.
