Trick To Fix the Bom Sabado Orkut bug

What is this bug all about??

Social Networking website has been flooded with a pop up message Bom Sabado.
The regular user of Orkut has been facing the problem of bug Sabado. It is an auto generated message which is filing your scrapebooks.
However, it is not clear yet that the Bom Sabado is a virus or not.

A word of advice

But the Orkut user who have faced this problem are advised to change your password and security question. Log out immediately and clear the cookies and history.
Users are also advised not to open such scraps. The bug is hitting your cookies and automatically sending messages to your friend list.
Earlier, popular microblogging website Twitter was also hijacked by a hacker to raise question over the security of the website.


How can it be fixed?

The worm injects a hidden iframe containing a malicious javascript http://tptools.org/worm.js [do not click this], which steals the user cookie which contains the password in an encoded form. So the attacker do not get to know your plaintext password but can login using your credentials by impersonating using the cookie to fool the identification system. So a trivial solution is to diable javascript, another solution is to disable iframes or u can take an advanced measure by blocking the domain http://tptools.org/ by editing your hosts file and redirecting it to a safe address, say 127.0.0.1

go to C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\
There is a file named 'hosts'. By default it is read-only. Go to it properties and uncheck the tickmark beside read-only
edit it with you favourite editor.

add this line at the end of it


127.0.0.1 tptools.org

save it. and then restart your network interface. ( in simple words, just reconnect your interner connection ) and bingo! the worm'll be useless.

Setting up a home network using BSNL router (modem)

first cancel all the adhoc networks.. now connect ur pc to the modem only.

now log on to the router (type http://192.168.1.1 in ur browser and hit enter. when asked for the username- password type admin as both username and password)

then open WAN then edit PPPoE protocol (first one).
set parameters as below:
port =0
VPI=0
VCI=35
SERVICE CATAGORY= UBR WITHOUT PCR
THEN CLIK NEXT
SELECT SECOND OPTION PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) AND Encapsulation Mode SHOULD BE LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING.
CLICK NEXT
PPP USER NAME IS YOUR BSNL USER NAME AND PASSWORD
AND Enable Fullcone NAT & LAST OPTION Bridge PPPoE Frames Between WAN and Local Ports (Default Enabled) SHOULD BE CHECKED.

10 Ways to Make Your CDs and DVDs Last Longer

When your favorite CD -- the one that you play repeatedly -- skips a note, you know you're in trouble! Don't fret, there are many simple ways to increase the shelf life of your prized discs.

1. Watch Your CD Wallets
Those slim, zippered CD wallets certainly make it easy to transport your CDs from one place to another, but they should never be used for long-term or archival storage. Many wallets provide adequate cushioning behind the discs, but your CDs are still prone to scratches (typically as a result of frequent trips in and out of the sleeve) and other hazards.

2. Handle DVDs With Care
Although the error-correction encoding for DVDs is almost ten times more thorough than that used for audio CDs, DVDs are still more susceptible to damage by scratches and mishandling than CDs. That's because DVDs cram a lot more information into a comparable amount of space (up to 4.7 GB per side compared with 700 MB in a CD -- that's more than six times as much). With that in mind, you may want to handle your DVDs a bit more carefully than your CDs.

Never touch the disc's flat surface; rather, always hold it with one finger in the center hole and the other fingers around the outside edge.

When removing a DVD from its case, always be sure to press the button on the center hub and push downward on it; never remove a DVD from its package simply by prying up the outer edge of the disc.

3. Keep CDs off the Dashboard
If you keep a CD wallet in your car, never, ever, leave it on the dashboard or front seat in hot climates or during the summer months. The plastic sleeves of some poorly made wallets have been known to melt and adhere to CDs after several hours of exposure to the hot sun.

4. Don't Buy Blanks in Bulk
Unless, of course, you intend to burn a lot of discs in a relatively short period of time. That's because the organic dye used to record the data on the disc will eventually spoil if it is not used. Although CD-R and DVD-R manufacturers claim blank, unused discs have five-year shelf life, that claim has not been verified by independent testing, and you won't find any expiration dates on the packaging. All things considered, it's best to buy new discs on an as-needed basis, rather than purchasing a large quantity to use over several years.

5. Keep Your Discs Clean
CDs and DVDs need to be kept free of dust and fingerprints, which can cause tracking errors by blocking the path of the laser that reads the discs. Cleaning is just a matter of wiping your discs with a damp nonabrasive cloth -- the cloths designed to clean eyeglasses are ideal. You should never use harsh chemicals or cleaning agents. You can, however, use a water-based lens cleaner and mild detergent, if needed.

Gently wipe the disc by moving the cloth in a curved line from the inside hole to the outer edge. Don't wipe in a circular motion; you can make the disc unreadable if you accidentally scratch it while wiping around the disc's circumference.

6. Repair a Scratched Disc
Do you have a scratched CD or DVD that's headed for the trash? Before you toss it, try fixing it with some Brasso metal polish (which sells for under $6 for 8 ounces in the U.S.). The idea is to use the polish to smooth out the scratch so the player's laser can read the data; you don't necessarily have to make the scratches disappear. Use a soft cloth to rub a couple of drops of Brasso into the disc until the scratch is almost gone. Scratches are best handled by rubbing along the direction of the scratch, while scuff marks should be polished in a radial motion. Let the Brasso dry on the surface; then use a fresh soft cloth to rub it off, using a radial motion.

You can use other products in a similar fashion to smooth out the scratches on your discs. Nongel white toothpaste and car wax are two popular choices. There are also many commercial disc-repair kits and devices available, some of which -- such as the Alera 240121 DVD/CD Disc Repair-Plus Kit (about $27) and the Skipdoctor CD Repair Kit (about $23) -- can be very effective. They are also sold by audio-equipment retailers.

Of course, if a scratch is deep enough to damage a disc's data layer, it can't be repaired no matter what you do. (The name is true for any scratches on the disc's label side, which back onto the disc's reflective layer.) Still, any attempts to salvage a scratched disc are always worth the effort -- not to mention the money and time you'll save when you're successful.

7. Don't Back Up Rewriteable CDs
A rewriteable CD (CD-RW) should never be used for archival purposes. Although they're designed specifically for data backups, CD-RWs are fundamentally different from CD-Rs: They have an aluminum reflective layer, and record data on a phase-changing metal-alloy film rather than an organic dye. CD-RWs are less stable, more sensitive to heat damage, and have a much shorter lifespan than CD-Rs (typically 25 years or less, depending on how many times they're recorded on).

8. Stick to Longhand Labeling
The need to label your home-recorded CD-Rs and DVD-Rs is obvious; how else will you identify them? Although there's no shortage of labeling kits on the market, you may want to think twice before using any of them. The problem is that the adhesive used for virtually all of the labels included in these kits can harm the data stored on your discs or offset the discs' balance when they're played, which can damage computer drives and CD and DVD players. Until true archival-quality labels for optical discs arrive, it's best to simply write the information in the printed area of the disc with a nonsolvent-based felt-tip pen -- such as TDK's CD Mark or Maxwell's DiscWriter pens, both of which come in packages of four for about $6. Never use a ballpoint pen, pencil, or other types of permanent markers, as they're likely to destroy the disc or the data.

9. Save as Data Instead of Music
There are a number of digital audio formats in use these days, although MP3s, WAV, and MID (MIDI) are probably the best known of the bunch. Audio CDs, meanwhile, have their own formatting (although they use WAV files) that allow them to work with all CD players -- including models that predate the arrival of CD burners.

When storing music files onto a CD-R or recordable DVD for archival purposes, experts recommend recording them as WAV files rather than as CD Audio files. You won't be able to play the discs on most home or portable CD players, but you'll be getting some added insurance on the integrity of your music in return. When a scratch or other flaw causes a loss of data on an audio CD, it's typically heard as a loud click or pop as the CD is played. All computer data files (including WAV files), however, have an extra level of error correction that provides additional protection against data loss with fewer audible artifacts. Besides, you can always burn an audio CD using your archived WAV files at some later time.

10. Use Slower Speeds for Archival Audio Recording
If you decide to use the CD Audio format when making archival copies of your digital music, it's a good idea to record the discs at a slow speed, preferably 4x. Decreasing the recording speed ensures a more exact burn with better laser response. Higher speeds are fine for recording data, where significant error correction is inserted during the burn and implemented during the readback. But when the lack of error correction in the CD Audio format is combined with irregularities in the quality of the blank media and inaccuracies of the laser during recording, the end result can be inferior-sounding discs. A slow speed makes sure you're getting the best-possible recording.

Three things that even Microsoft can't explain!

MAGIC #1

An Indian found that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the Computer which can be named as "CON". This is something funny and inexplicable… At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE A "CON" FOLDER

MAGIC #2
For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.
Noticed the weird bug? No one can explain!

MAGIC #3
Again this is something funny and can't be explained… At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!
It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself…
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER
And see the magic…..!

LIST OF PORTS

Port are divided into three ranges: the Common Ports, the Registered Ports, and Private Ports.

The Common Ports are those from 0 through 1023.
The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151
The Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535

Common Ports
The Common Ports are assigned by the IANA and on most systems can only be used by system (or root) processes or by programs executed by privileged users.
Ports are used in the TCP [RFC793] to name the ends of logical connections which carry long term conversations. For the purpose of providing services to unknown callers, a service contact port is defined. This list specifies the port used by the server process as its contact port.

What is the allure of keyboard shortcuts? Do they really save time? Why bother since my mouse is permanently attached to my hand?

I like to use keyboard shortcuts, especially if someone is watching me, because they make me look like a pro. With just a few key strokes I can leave a mouser spinning his wheel! Whatever your motivation, here's a big list of keyboard shortcuts:

GENERAL SHORTCUTS
ALT- F4 - Quit a program / Shut down
ALT-TAB - Hold down the ALT key and hit tab to cycle through open windows.
CTL-ESCAPE - Display the Start menu
SHIFT - TAB - tab backwards through a form
CTRL - X - Cut
CTRL - C - Copy
CTRL - V - Paste
F1 - Help menu
CTRL - Z - Undo
SHIFT & Restart - To restart just windows and not your whole computer, hold down the shift key when you click the OK button on the shutdown screen. Saves lots of time. (not for XP)
CRTL-TAB - Navigate tabs on a tabbed screen

FILE & DESKTOP SHORTCUTS
Hold SHIFT while inserting a CD - Prevents the CD from "autorunning"
If an item is selected:
CTRL while dragging a file - Copies the file
CTRL - SHIFT while dragging a file - Creates a shortcut to the file
SHIFT - DELETE - Deletes an item without sending it to the recycle bin.
ALT-ENTER - Display a file's properties.
F2 - To rename the file
In Windows Explorer:
LEFT ARROW - Collapse the current selection if it is expanded
NUM LOCK-MINUS SIGN (-) - Collapse the selected folder
RIGHT ARROW - Expand the current selection if it is collapsed -Or- Select the first subfolder
NUM LOCK- * Expand all folders below the current selection
NUM LOCK- PLUS SIGN (+) - Expand the selected folder
F6 - Switch between left and right panes
In My Computer:
BACKSPACE - View the folder one level up
ALT- RIGHT ARROW - Move forward to a previous view
ALT- LEFT ARROW -Move backward to a previous view


WINDOWS KEY SHORTCUTS
The Windows key can be used in conjunction with other keys to act as a keyboard shortcut for faster access to menu commands. Now, while the Alt key tends to open program menus (ex: Alt+F opens the File menu and Alt+E opens the Edit menu) and the Ctrl key performs actual operations (ex: Ctrl+C will copy and Ctrl+V will paste), the Windows key will open various Windows tools...
Win key + R will open the Start menu's Run box
Win key + F will open the Start menu's Find window
Win key + E will quickly launch Explorer
Win key + Pause/Break will open the System Properties window
Win key + M will Minimize all windows
Win key + Shift + M will undo Minimize all windows
Win key + D will switch between minimizing all open programs and showing them all
Win key + Tab will cycle through items on the taskbar
Win key by itself will open the Start menu
You can also open programs or folders on your desktop by pressing the Windows key + the first letter of the program/folder/shortcut + Enter . Sounds kinda tedious, but if you're in a bind with your mouse, it can come in quite handy.
ARROW TRICKS
Here's a cool little arrow trick to try with word processing programs. Next time you're using your arrow keys to go from one area of a sentence to another (left and right arrows), hold down your CTRL key. Instead of moving one space at a time, you'll go one word at a time.
If you're using the up and down arrows to go from line to line, holding down the CTRL key will make your cursor jump from paragraph to paragraph (well, from carriage return to carriage return anyway).
One last thing, if you hold down the SHIFT key while you do this (i.e. hold down SHIFT + CTRL at the same time), you select text as you arrow along.
I've tested this in MS Word and Wordpad, but it *should* work no matter what word processing program you use. HOME / END KEY FUN
Do you ever find yourself scrolling through a huge folder ? Well, if you need to get to the beginning or the end quickly, just press Ctrl+Home . If you want to get to the end, click Ctrl+End.

Hey, that's not all!
This little trick works on more than just folders. If you use the Home key in a word processor, it goes to the beginning of the line you're currently working on. If you hit the END key, it should head to the end of the current line. If you pair Home & End up with the Ctrl key in a word processor, you will be whisked away to the beginning or end of the document. Again, this should work, but it depends on your word processor.
