A question (how to find out if a w..) & a short-term goo
Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 10:29 am
Hi guys,
it's been about over a week since I last posted.... with a good reason too: My fall semester started so now I am busy with school stuff. Nothing exciting except Java. All other classes could be... well, better to say the least.
Ok, the question:
How to find out if a website is "legit" or not?
I ask this because there was an "Ad" in my University's Newspaper in the classifieds section about making a lot of money just for typing ads on the internet.
This is what the Ad said (verbatim):
the 2500+ part seems too good to be true. Plus, why would a company give out their assignments to others, leaving their own employees?
Another thing to note, the website charges 19.95 membership fee to join. and has this in their "FAQs":
Now for the other part of the post:
I would like to say good-bye, for a short term (4-months). As my fall semester has started now and can barely find time to do the things that I have grown to love... such as dev'ing, and watching baseball. It's sad that for 4 whole frekin' months, my favorite activites would be stopped ;(
I would, however, come here periodically. Although no contribution
I would like to thank all of you who have helped me learn the best language on the net (PHP)
Best regards,
-Matt
