Are there any stars emitting light at a frequency that renders it invisible to us? "Black stars", iow?
Just curious. The electromagnetic spectrum is huge, the slice of it we can see quite small. Are there any objects which are stars as we know them, but emitting "light" that we can’t see? 
Stars shine by blackbody radiation. The equations of blackbody radiation dictate that, regardless of where an object’s peak emission frequency is (it is higher for hotter objects and can definitely be either lower or higher than the visible light range), hotter objects still emit more blackbody light in ALL frequencies than cooler objects, so you can’t make an object less visible by making it hotter. Every object in the Universe considered a true star (that is, it has naturally occurring nuclear fusion going on in its core as a result of heat and pressure) is hot enough that it emits enough light in the visible spectrum to be seen with a human eye. There are some objects, such as the Earth itself, which are so cool they do not emit enough blackbody radiation in the visible spectrum to be noticed by the human eye; if you were to put the Earth way out in intergalactic space where there is very little light to reflect off it, it would appear essentially black. Furthermore, a black dwarf star (not a true star, rather a degenerate stellar remnant resulting from a cooled white dwarf; however our universe is not old enough for any to have formed yet) could be this way as well, and a black hole with no gas nearby would also appear like this although it would be dense enough to bend light as well, possibly being noticed by its distorting effect on the background image.
What plugin do i need to download to watch youtube videos on google Chrome?
Whenever i go to youtube to watching a video it says missing plugin and it doesnt tell me where to find or download it and its pissing me off!
And I dont know if i need adobe flash player becasue when i go to update it it downloadds and when its almost done installing it says error another porgram might be using flash player but no other programs are on. What do i do about that?
You need adobe flash player. Its required to watch any video on web. Because all vidoes require flash player. Check task manager if another browser is running background or any other program that is using adobe flash player. Try to close their process and then try again.
What is Graphic Design and what are the career opportunities?
I want to major in Graphic Design, does graphic design include web design or is web developement deifferent from that? I want to go to college in Florida please help me.
Graphic design does most of the graphic aspects of commercial work. For example, a graphic designer will create a logo, do a lay out, design a box for a product, and so on. Some graphic designers know a little bit about web design (HTML, CSS and Flash) but they will not be able to create a really complex website.
GIMP plugin “Resynthesizer” and “Single Window” mode
From http://www.inatux.com/article?r=development-gimp-version-2.7-review
Lately, people have been speaking highly of Adobe Photoshop over this video showing what Bryan O’Neil Hughes calls “Content-Aware Fill” which is a technique for synthesizing texture.
Here’s a little old favorite GIMP plugin called Resynthesizer. Resynthesizer works just as well as Photoshop’s “Content-Aware Fill”, only Resynthesizer appears to have more options.
In the video below — working with the same images (captured from YouTube) — InaTux demonstrates Resynthesizer in GIMP 2.7′s “Single Window” mode.

How do I install an Adobe After Effects plugin?
I got the Aurora Water 55 plugin. The documentation tells me just put the file in the plugins folder. I did that. But it won’t show up on the Effects section when I open Adobe After Effects. I also copy the presets folder in there too. Please help! Thanks.
It’s in there. It’s probably categorized under Digital Elements.
