    IBM is offering $20,000 to customers to switch from
    Microsoft Exchange to IBM's Lotus Notes and Domino platform.
    They said company do not changing because of the cost.
    Therefor they offers $20 for every Exchange license in a
    company (with a max of 1000 licenses).

    But is it a good idea to switch platform? remember it does not cost just money.
    And when you have to pay people to use your product, there must a problem

    The Internet Explorer Address Bar Spoofing Vulnerability Test can be found here:

    http://secunia.com/Internet_Explorer_Addreerability_Test/

     

    if You are vulnerable, a new window is opened and display contents from Secunia. but the address bar still says "https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BwkjVKfAD8uH8QfckIGgCQ&gws_rd=ssl;.

     

    I passed this test with firefox 1.5.0.2. It does redirect to secuia.com on Firefox, but the address bar shows secunia.com, not google.com.

    In my IE, it still shows google.com in the address bar after it is redirected to secuia.com.

    The add/remove software in Fedora 5 just does not work if you
    machine is not connected to the Internet. It wont add or remove
    any package for you even though you have the disks.

    If you read files in /etc/yum.repos.d/, you will understand.
    Fedora 5 will connect to redhat's website when you want to update
    your Fedora.

    Here is a simple way to update your fedora 5 via FC5 iso file.
    1, move all files, which are under /etc/yum.repos.d directory, to
    other directory. for example, backup directory.

    2. create a new directory *.reop in /etc/dym.repos.d
    Copy and Paste the following text into it and save it

    [CDROM]name=cdrombaseurl=file:///mnt/DVDenabled=1gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedoragpgcheck=0

    3. last step, you need too mount you iso file.
    for example: mount /home/FC-5-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/DVD -o loop

    That's it. Now it can be update via local ISO file or DVD/CD-ROM.

    We soon will be half machine and half human....:lol:

    European researches have developed "neuro-chips" in which living brain cells and silicon circuits interact with one another.

    The microchip which is implanted in neuro is 1 millimeter square only chip. But it has over 16,000 transistors and hundreds of capacitors on it. it is bonded to the brain cells by using special proteins found in brain.
    neural electrical signals can passed to the silicon chip. They interact with each other. the microchip has ability to records the brain's electrical impulses

    They are still working on eliminating the side effects of implanting this kind of chip.

    We soon could use more extra processing power!

    Xbox 360, I suggest it will fell some pressure from now on. The PlayStation 3 will blow it out of the water!! The only strength about Xbox 360 is that their price is slightly lower than PlayStation 3 . By the way, do you know whether they release PS 3 globally or just in Japan only in November. Sony usually release products in their own country first. If it is going to released locally, then we may not being see it in North America and Europe until 2007.

    There is a software called Autoruns, a production from Sysinternals.
    When you run it, it will show you what programs are configured to
    run during system bootup or login.
    The programs which are configured as auto run are shown in order.
    The one in the top of the list will be excuted first. So you can un-tick
    the programs you do not want.
    oh..and it is a very small application(210 KB download size only).
    you can downloand it here

    Finally, Firefox 2.0 alpha 1 is coming.
    It will be released by the end of this week .
    It has delayed a month already.

    In version 2.0 alpha 1, Undo close Tab feature is built in.
    That meas you do not need any other extension to get this function.
    the new feature Spell-As-You-Type is my most wanted feature
    althought it is in English only. This is a great function, isn't it?
    just imagine, it will spell out the word for you when you typing.
    the time that spend on posting/email will be saved significantly.

    Try Unlocker..

    It will unlock the files or folders which locked by windows.

     

    Windows may locks the file or folder when there has been

    a sharing violation, or file may be in use by user or other

    program.

     

    By using Unlocker, you just simply right click the folder

    or file and select Unlocker. It will give you a list of process

    which is using the file/folder. Then you can unlock it.

     

    the lastest version Unlocker is 1.8.0 and it can be downloaded

    We all know that DVD/CD writer can get more function and improve

    the quality of burning by updating it firmware.

     

    NEC ND-3550A is an old model DVD writer. And it also is popular in

    the market. NEC ND-4551A is an upgraded model of ND-3550A.

    The difference between these two models is newer model support

    DVD-RAM burning and LabelFlash. In my point of view, it is not

    worthwhile to buy a new model (ND4551A) just for DVD-RAM supported.

     

    There is a way to upgrade your NEC ND-3550A to ND4551A by

    updating the firmware in just few steps.

     

    Step 1, First, you need to download modified ND-4551A firmware,

    Flash Utility and bootcode Flasher. These are 3 main programs.

    Uncompress them to a same folder. They can be downloaded from

    here http://www.host.sk/404.php

     

    Step 2, run CMD (Command Prompt) in Windows XP. Change to the

    folder which created in Step 1.

     

    Step 3, Run necbfl, enter your DVD-ROM path (eg. E: is the DVD-ROM

    drive, the path should be like this \\.\e:)

     

    Step 4, Choose 2 (upgrade to ND-4550A) or choose 3 (upgrade to ND-4551A);

    Then press Y. Upgrade process will be run.

     

    Step 5, Please reboot your computer after the process finished.

     

    Step 6, You will see that the status light of the DVD-ROM is flashing.

    Don’t worry, this is normal. Run binflahs; then click on Flash.

     

    Step 7, reboot your PC; Done.

     

    Please notice, the warrantee of your DVD-ROM will be violated

    after you flash in the firmware. Take your own risk.

    Microsoft is testing lots of their online services recently, such as Windows Messager Live. Now they are testing their new online service, Office Online.

    You can go here http://www.boston.runaware.com/microsoft/en-us/iws/launch?lbredir=1 and click on âTest Driveâ to have a look what it is.
    I thought I just logged into other Windows XP system (using VNC) after getting into this system. You can see the Start button on left bottom corner and some office icons on the desktop. Office programs can be run by click on those icons just like normal.
    Most of function of this office works. The GUI is as same as the real office 2003.
    There is IE in this system as well. It can connect to Microsoft website, but not other website. The document created by office live can be saved in this testing system, but not locally. The files will disappear after you close the browser. So, donât use it for production. It is just for fun now.

    Oh⌠there is a Mobile 5.0 Emulator built in. You can get some experience of Windows Mobile 5 here.

    Windows TaskBar will become mess after you open lots of windows.
    the group function did not manage them well.
    Therefore, Microsoft VIBE development group released a small
    tool to do this job. The name of the tool is Group Bar.

    The newest version of GroupBar is 1.2. Installation is not required
    in order to use this tool. All you need is click on GroupBar.exe file.
    You can put a shortcut in StartUp folder.

    The main function of GroupBar is to manage the taskbar. the
    minimized windows will place in the groupbar. The GroupBar
    itself can be minimized, Clolapse and Layout Group.

    There is function called "SnapShot" in GroupBar (the Camera icon).
    It records the position and context of each window and save it as
    a GSS file. You can load this GSS file later to get all the windws back.

    It is a very good software for people who alway have lots of windows
    in their desktop. Give it a try.
