Best Advise "Steve Jobs"

      Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.

      And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.

      Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Steve Jobs

It's time to move on.........

Summary:
The strong delinquent Oga (nicknamed Ogre, Demon, or "it'd be alright if he'd just die" by other delinquents) picks up a baby that turns out to be the son of the Great Demon King! Chosen to raise the baby until he's in age of destroying mankind, together with the demon maid Hilda, they're sure to make mankind die... of laughter!
The story follows his life with the child and at the delinquent school. Oga attempts to "pass on" baby beel to other students at Ishiyama. If Oga can find someone more evil and stronger than him, Baby Beel will attach to that person instead of Oga. After subsequently fighting and defeating all members of the Tōhōshinki and in the process, destroying Ishiyama High itself, Oga and company are transferred to Saint Ishiyama Academy, which appears to be a direct opposite of the delinquent school - and it's there the real story begins.

Simple Tweak for Windows 7

Most of you may have tried Windows 7 by now, and if you’re like me, your first impression would have been “WOW!”. Windows 7 is really an impressive operating system and is worth upgrading to whether you’re running Windows XP or Windows Vista.

Even though there are a ton of new features and usability improvements in Windows 7, there is still no harm in fine tuning or enabling a couple of features that Microsoft decided to hide under the mat for one reason or the other. Tweaks are nothing new to Windows. End users have been able to tweak operating systems according to their requirements since the beginning, so you shouldn’t worry about any tweak damaging your system.

Still, I’ll be including a level indicator for an estimated technical level required to execute the tweak, with Level 0 being the easiest. As for the tweaks I’m about to share today, none of them require any tweaker utility to activate. You can access them from within Windows itself.

Classic Taskbar – (Level 0)

The new “Superbar” in Windows 7 is an awesome improvement. You can pin icons directly to the taskbar as shortcuts, plus we have support for Jumplists which give us quick access to common tasks in every program. Still, some of you might be accustomed to the classic taskbar as seen in the previous versions of Windows and prefer to revert back. Lucky for you, Microsoft decided to include the old functionality as well.

To get the classic taskbar back, all you have to do is:

Right-click on an empty area in the taskbar and click on Properties. You would reach the dialog box displayed above. Check the box next to Use small icons and select Combine when taskbar is full from the Taskbar buttons dropdown menu. Hit Apply, and you’re all set.

Explorer Checkboxes – (Level 0)

Remember the tiny little checkboxes in Vista that used to appear on files when you hovered your mouse over them in Windows Explorer. While they only served the purpose of allowing you to select multiple files which you can also do by holding CTRL or SHIFT key, the boxes were useful in situations when you didn’t want to use the keyboard.

To enable the Explorer Checkboxes, just:
Hit the Start button and type Folder Options in the search bar and hit enter.
Click on the view tab and scroll to the bottom of Advanced Settings Listbox.
Check the box next to Use check boxes to select items and click Ok or Apply to commit the changes. Check boxes should now appear when you hover your mouse over items.

Web Search Connectors – (Level 1)

Did you know that you can perform web searches directly from within Windows Explorer? You can search for anything you like (e.g. YouTube videos) and get results displayed in the Windows Explorer interface.

To enable Internet Search, all you have to do is find and download search connectors for your favorite web service.

Enable GodMode – (Level 1)

Wondering why there is a GodMode in Windows 7? Well don’t get excited. It doesn’t make your PC immune to malware. It just shows all the options in the Control Panel as a single page instead of being divided into categories. Useful if you like to use the Windows Search feature to find stuff rather than navigating through different screens.

To enable GodMode, just create a new folder anywhere and name it to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}.

Quick Launch Toolbar – (Level 2)

The Quick Launch toolbar (the shortcut icons that used to appear right next to the start button) got killed in Windows 7 because of the introduction of the new Superbar. While the new taskbar is a thousand times more useable then Quick Launch, it is interesting to know that you can still enable the functionality by a simple trick to get a fully classic look with the Classic Taskbar.
To enable Quick Launch:

Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and goto Toolbars > New Toolbar…
Navigate to your user account >> AppData >> Roaming >> Microsoft >> Internet Explorer >> Quick Launch and click Select Folder button to add the toolbar. ({User}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch). You can right click on the title of the new Toolbar to play with its look and feel and adjust it to the way you like.

Change Logon Background – (Level 3)

You might have heard that you can change the Welcome screen background in Windows 7 too like you could in Windows Vista. While Microsoft only intended this functionality to be used by OEMs, there are ways for you to get it done as well.
What you need to do is:

Open up the Registry Editor (Type regedit.exe in the start menu).
Goto HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Authentication > LogonUI > Background.
Look for a DWORD value named OEMBackground and change it to 1. If the DWORD doesn’t exist then create it.

Now in Windows Explorer, goto %windir%\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds and place the background image of your choice there. Again you’ll have to create the folder if it doesn’t exist already.

Rename the image you just place to backgroundDefault.jpg. You can add multiple images for different resolutions as well following this naming convention: background{resolution}.jpg. For example, if your desktop resolution is 1980×1080 then background1920×1080.jpg.

Oh and the image needs to be under 256kB for it to work properly.

Windows 7 SP2 release date and features

With Windows XP, service packs were significant upgrades; XP SP2 was practically a new version of Windows.

Even Vista SP1 was a major update, improving power management, network speed, search speed and adding hardware support like Blu-ray burning to bring it up to the same performance as XP SP2 (according to Microsoft).

But although it included significant updates for business users using remote connections to a work server, for most people Windows 7 Service Pack 1 was little more than a rollup of updates and hotfixes. That's what Microsoft has been aiming at for years; service packs that don't add new features and that you already have if you've been accepting automatic updates.

The general popularity of Windows 7 makes that easier to achieve. So what does that mean for Windows 7 SP2 and when will we see it?

Counting up the updates that have already come through, Windows 7 SP2 will include well over 100 security and performance improvements (rumors earlier this year said around 130 for 32-bit systems and 170 for 64-bit, but the exact numbers will depend on how many more fixes are released before SP2 goes into testing, and the update is likely to patch Windows Server 2008 R2 as well as Windows 7).

Windows 7 SP2 release date

Just as new versions of Windows come every two to three years - "we think somewhere between 24 and 36 months between releases is about right," says Windows senior VP Steven Sinofsky - service packs come in between, every 12 to 18 months.

Windows 7 went on sale in late October 2009 and SP1 came out in late February this year (exactly 16 months later). Microsoft also tries to get the latest service pack for the previous version of Windows out before the new operating system (the timing means stability and performance fixes that have been developed and tested as part of the next version can be ported back to the previous code base where possible).

The Windows 8 release date is still unconfirmed, but we're expecting an announcement and public access to a beta version at Microsoft's Professional Developer conference this September and that argues for the code being finished in the middle of 2012 and on sale before Christmas. That makes rumors of a Windows 7 Service Pack 2 release date in the middle of 2012 plausible; June would be another 16 months.

Windows 7 SP2 features

The pieces of SP2 you won't get in advance from automatic updates are what Microsoft calls hotfixes; urgent fixes for bugs that only occur on specific systems with specific combinations of hardware and software that are only tested on those combinations so the Windows team can get them out quickly while they work on a fix for the underlying problem and test that on the full range of PCs.

Hotfixes are often available only directly from Microsoft support if you have the relevant setup and service packs include the updates with the underlying fixes; service packs are the way those underlying fixes are distributed but again this is very much business as usual.

What we want to see in Service Pack 2

There are still some updates we'd like to see in Windows 7 beyond bug fixes. Search performance was something Windows 7 improved but over time results can get slower to appear on the Start menu as you type; better multi-threading support for indexing and search could help keep that fast even as the number of items on your system grows - and we've seen search improvements in service packs before.

Most battery life improvements in Windows 8 concentrate on either better setup by hardware partners or on low-level kernel improvements that are tricky to retrofit. We do expect some extra hardware support, though. Even the non-fibre optic version of Intel's LightPeak that Apple is putting into MacBooks as Thunderbolt is about a year off on PCs so while that could coincide with SP2 it's still too soon to see support going directly into Windows.

But SP2 could include direct support for USB 3.0 and SuperSpeed, so OEMs don't have to install specific drivers (and neither do you if you plug in a USB 3.0 add-on card).

We certainly don't expect any of the major advances planned for Windows 8 to arrive in SP2; virtualisation and fast boot into specialised versions of the operating system will need significant testing and probably depend on updated BIOSes (which means more testing).

Detecting what updates require a reboot will need more work on 'MinWin' (the isolated lowest layer of Windows that Microsoft aims to be able to swap out more completely in each new version of the OS).

Similarly, support for ARM chips is a major rewrite and the work supporting x86 'system on chip' hardware is aimed at new PCs.

Improvements to the touch options and the new 'immersive' phone-like interface in Windows 8 are tied in to a new programming model based on Silverlight and Windows Phone app frameworks. That's likely to be available for Windows 7 along with whatever app store Microsoft comes out with, but not until it's available for Windows 8 (especially as Microsoft is talking down tablets again in favour of natural user interfaces like voice and gesture, which seems less out of touch after the relatively disappointing sales figures for tablets that aren't the iPad).

Natural interfaces means more than Kinect, but support for Kinect on PC that's broader than the current development kit aimed at researchers could well be the most exciting feature that could realistically make it into Windows 7 SP2.

Gesture control for Media Center, games or web browsing would be fairly straightforward and a great introduction to the next-generation natural user interface we expect Microsoft is planning for Windows 8.

General Luna "Red Heaven"

General Luna is an all-female rock band in the Philippines. The group is composed of Nicole Asensio (lead vocalist), Alex Montemayor (bassist), Bea Lao (drummer), Audry Dionisio (rhythm guitarist) and Caren Mangaran (lead guitarist).

When the group was asked the reason why do they call their band as General Luna? Nicole (the lead vocalist) said, "It has nothing to do with General Antonio Luna." It is just a combination of the two words: General (a masculine), and Luna (a feminine). There's a balance of the 2 concepts. They describe their music as a combination of 2 different concepts. Like their music single, "Red Heaven", - a mixture of loud guitar riffs and catchy melodic verses, that expresses the stomach-churning experience of a nightmare. General Luna's self-title debut album is attributed to the serious hardwork of various top artists and songwriters:

Steve Badiola (Typecast frontman) - contributed for General Luna's first single, "Red Heaven"
Monty Macalino (Mayonnaise vocalist and guitarist) - for the 2nd single, "Nandito"
Ebe Dancel (songwriter from Sugarfree) - he wrote the song, "Maria"
Pakoy Fletchero (Typecast guitarist) - produced "Walang Bintana" and offered very unique drum parts to the masterpiece
Japs Sergio (Rivermaya bassist) - helped produced 2 tracks of the album, "Dala ng Ulan" and "Pagmulat", both have socio-political theme.
Francis Brew Reyes (musician from NU107)
Angee Rozul (multi-awarded recording engineer)

Aligned your eyes

To the shadow of the night

In the quiet you will find

all the world is running wild

So skim the streets

with the blisters on your feet

It’s a far and fast escape

show me where’s your safe retreat

I’ll follow with all my soul

even though my eyes are closed

(reaching out) reaching out on

one long way , nothing’s what it seems

This is just a dream

we wont remember

so, if we never wake

then all the better

Making drunken

dances of the tears

as the daylights disappears

falling sweetly, getting sleepy

this dream is just a dream

Don’t you drift too far

forgetting who you are

I’ll follow with all my soul

even though my eyes are closed

(reaching out) reaching out on

one long way , nothing’s what it seems

This is just a dream

we wont remember

so, if we never wake

then all the better

Notice how the light changed

do you recognize

this aint the same city

that was born before your eyes

Are you falling deeper

hearin, echos of laughter

chasing you down

thinking of going get out, oh

This is just a dream

we wont remember

so, if we never wake

then all the better

Cinderella "Heartbreak Station"

Heartbreak Station is Cinderella's third studio album, released in 1990 through Mercury Records. It hit #19 in the US and went platinum for selling a million albums there the same year. The band's two previous efforts, Night Songs and Long Cold Winter, had both gone double platinum and reaching triple during the 1990s, and had each landed in the US top ten while featuring a US top 20 hit, Heartbreak Station achieved none of these things. Vocalist Tom Keifer has stated on several occasions that this is his favorite Cinderella record. The album featured three singles, which were "Shelter Me", hitting #36 in the US, the title track, which made #44, and "The More Things Change", which didn't chart. If compared to the two previous records, this album presents some differences in its musical style, being more oriented towards blues heavy hard rock instead of glam metal and being more evidently influenced by The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith.

This song is for my late great friend "Cezar"... he is my mentor in bringing my likes in music, he taught me everything... all about music & life... he's favorite band was skid row & cinderella... when we met in manila, he sings & bangs guitar (welcome to the jungle by guns n' roses)... one thing i like to him was the way he likes me to sing specially with this song "heartbreak station"... we jammed everynight just for fun.... when he left manila only i was informed by his brother that he got a band "the rocket queen". I don't want to mention his fate. I wish i have spare time to record this song & play as a cover but too busy with my work. Still i love the original to play for everyone.

This is for you my friend, wherever you are....   

Waiting at the station
Tears filling up my eyes
Sometimes the pain you hide
Burns like a fire inside
Look out my window
Sometimes it's hard to see
The things you want in life
Come and go so easily
She took the last train out of my heart
She took the last train
And now I think I'll make a brand new start
She took the last train out of my heart
Watching the days go by
Thinking 'bout the plans we made
The days turn into years
Funny how they fade away
Sometimes I think of those days
Sometimes I just hide away
Waiting on that 9:20 train
Waiting on a memory
She took the last train out of my heart
She took the last train
And now I think I'll make a brand new start
She took the last train out of my heart
My lady's on the fly
And she's never coming back
My love is like a steam train
Rolling down the tracks yeah, yeah
She took the last train out of my heart
She took the last train
And now I think I'll make a brand new start
She took the last train out of my heart
She took the last train, out of my heart
She took the last train
And now I think I'll make a new start
Last train out of my heart

Add / Remove Programs Manually

    Sometimes when we uninstall a software product, corresponding entry in the Add or Remove Programs listing may not be removed. This may be due to incomplete uninstalling process or poorly designed uninstaller itself (if there is any bug in uninstaller).

Follow below steps to manually remove the invalid entries from the Add or Remove Programs:
Press Windows + R key or Run dialog box, then run regedit (registry editor).

Look for the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

After you click the Uninstall registry key, click Export Registry File on the Registry menu. This is because if anything gone wrong during delete, you can back up registry values again.

Each key under Uninstall represents a program that appears in Add/Remove Programs.
To determine which program that each key represents, click the key, and then view the following values:
DisplayName: The value data for the DisplayName key is the name that is listed in Windows “Add/Remove Programs”.

UninstallString: The value data for the UninstallString key is the program that is used to uninstall the program.
After identifying the registry key that represents the program that is still in Windows “Add/Remove Programs”, right-click the key, and then click Delete.

After deleting the key, go to Add/Remove Programs using “appwiz.cpl” (Type appwiz.cpl in Run). For more details about appwiz.cpl please see Windows Run Commands.

In Windows “Add/Remove Programs”, now verify that the program for which you deleted the registry key is not listed.

 

After verification if the Add/Remove Program list is not correct, you can restore the original list of Add/Remove Programs in the registry using previously backup registry key.

For 64-bit Windows Operating System you can find uninstall node under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Note: If you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor. These problems might require that you reinstall the Windows Operating System.

Marilyn Manson "Beautiful People"

"The Beautiful People" is a song from Marilyn Manson's second full length album, Antichrist Superstar, released as a single in September, 1996. An industrial metal hit written by Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez, and produced by Trent Reznor, Dave Ogilvie and Manson, its lyrics discuss two major themes: what Manson refers to as "the culture of beauty", and that culture's connection to Friedrich Nietzsche's theory of master-slave morality — the song's "weak ones", who are "always wrong", are oppressed by and exist solely to "justify the strong";  the kratocratic beautiful people whose power is, in a double entendre of phallic and religious implications, "relative to the size of their steeple"

The single peaked at number 26 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and remains known as one of Marilyn Manson's most famous and most successful original songs; in a 2004 review, Richard Banks of the BBC called the track "still the most impressive" in the band's catalogue, and it was ranked in 2006 at number 28 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs

The title of the song comes from Marylin Bender's 1967 book The Beautiful People, which exposed the world of scandal within the "jet-set" lifestyle of the 1960s, and the culture of beauty as it pertained to fashion and politics. The phrase itself was popularized byVogue magazine in the early 1960s and was particularly used to describe the Kennedy family, a frequent source of inspiration in Marilyn Manson's work.

One of my favorite song... this one's for you six.... regards...^_^

And I don't want you and I don't need you
Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It's all relative to the size of your steeple
You can't see the forest for the trees
You can't smell your own shit on your knees
There's no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That's in your way
Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
The worms will live in every host
It's hard to pick which one they eat most
The horrible people, the horrible people
It's as anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way,
Old-fashioned fascism will take it away
There's no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That's in your way
The beautiful people
The beautiful people (aahh) (aahh) (aahh) (aahh)

There's no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That's in your way

There's no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That's in your way
The beautiful people

The beautiful people

The beautiful people

The beautiful people

The beautiful people

Tips & Tricks "Torrent"

Torrent is a form of peer-to-peer (p2p) network that instead of using just one server to maintain the download, use the people who have already downloaded the files to download them to later down loaders. 

This system allows for faster downloads since you are receiving different parts of the file from different places at the same time.

[ A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network is a network that relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files (see file sharing) containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, and real   time data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology. ]

This peer-to-peer file-sharing activity that allows participants to send and receive files from other computers is called “Torrenting”.

Now, before knowing about the tips and tricks to download files from Torrent we need to know about how the torrent works, programs to implement torrenting and also how to use torrent.

How to use Torrent?

All torrenting takes place using a torrent program. Examples of torrenting programs include:  uTorrent, Azureus and the original BitTorrent.

These programs allow your computer to send and receive files on a specific port and interpret the data from .TORRENT files.

.TORRENT files contain all of the information on a specific torrent–who started it, what the torrent contains, and how to download and upload information corresponding to that torrent.

Now, before understading how torrent programs work you need to know some terminologies, such as :

Leecher – Somebody who is currently downloading.

Seeder – Somebody who is currently uploading the file. The more Seeders, the faster Leechers download their file.

Tracker - Every torrent website has one. It keeps track of all the seeders and leechers, files users are able to seed and also determines the bandwidth you receive by keeping logs of one’s ratio–how much your computer uploads, measured against how much your computer downloads

Torrent (*.torrent) File – Usually, this is a small file you download that gives instructions to your BitTorent client about which people have the file for download.

Types of Torrent programs :

(1) Bit Torrent

“Bit Torrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution tool/protocol”.

Bit Torrent is designed to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources

How to use?

To use Bit Torrent first download Bit torrent client. Several of the most popular are BitLord, BitComet, Vuze, BiTtornado, µTorrent, or the original BitTorrent. LimeWire 6.14 also supports Bit Torrent downloads. Only one is necessary.

Then search for files on Search & Download, Qtorrents or Torrent Scan, and download a .torrent file. Open it, and your BitTorrent program should automatically ask you where to save and initiate your download. Choose a path and start downloading your file.

Tips & Warnings

Usually, the more “seeders” you see on a torrent file, the faster your download could potentially be. Speeds often increase gradually, rather than immediately after launching a file for download. Give them time.

Besides downloading, you can also contribute to the community with your own files by uploading as well.

If you have a router or firewall installed, ensure you open the necessary port(s) to properly download via torrent. If left unchecked, your torrents might not work at all, or the download speeds can be very slow.

Beware of copyright laws. Keep in mind that many files distributed via torrents can be illegally downloaded. Use at your own risk.

(2) uTorrent

The torrent network provides a relatively easy and decentralized method for sharing medium and large-sized files without relying on a single central server to host the files.

Essentially, with the torrent network, each computer that is connected becomes a server of the file and anyone on the network can connect to it.

The uTorrent program is free and easy to use to both retrieve and share files from other clients on the torrent network.

How to use?

Download and Install the uTorrent Client

Now download Torrent Files

Now we can create and upload Torrents

Tips & Warnings

The uTorrent website has many resources available for new users. If you have any questions or problems, it is best to check there first.

uTorrent provides a wealth of information in right-click context menus as well as tooltips that display when your cursor is held stationary over an item for a period of time.

The uTorrent program works best if certain ports are open and available for use. Open “Options”, select “Preferences” then the “Connection” tab to find the port it uses and make sure to open it on your router or firewall. uTorrent will still operate without it, but works best at connecting you to a network of peers when the port is available.

Stick to uploading torrents that are legal. Although the Torrent network is inherently anonymous and decentralized, methods of tracking where torrent files originated from or ended up at have been introduced.

(3) Azureus

Azureus is a Java-based Bit Torrent client, with support for I2P and Tor anonymous communication protocols.

It is free software and cross-platform, and currently runs under Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and Unix.

Azureus was first released in June 2003 at Sourceforge.net, mostly to experiment with the Standard Widget Toolkit from Eclipse.

It is one of the most popular Bit Torrent clients.

Tips and tricks about torrent?

Once you have downloaded the file, start seeding it. In your software, it should have an Upload:Download Ratio. Keep it until that gets to 1. This means that you have supplied the whole file to someone else.

You should always share close to your total upload speed, which you could set in your bit torrent programs options.

When downloading a file, a Torrent with a high number of seeders and optimally also a low number of leechers will result in a faster download.

A Torrent without any seeds but a high number of leechers could mean your download can finish, but without a seed, the whole file may not exist.

Many web sites which host torrent files are public but some are private. Private sites are usually geared towards one particular topic such as Music Only, Movies Only, etc.

Private sites require you to share what you upload. This is called your “ratio”. The best ratios are ones where you upload more than you download. If you have a bad ratio you will get banned from that site.

Thus private sites incorporates a “fair share” policy, which restricts or grants access to bonus torrent bandwidth accordingly. Fair share policies basically say that if you’re not seeding as much as you are downloading (“leeching”), you will receive less bandwidth from the torrent.

WiMax - Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access

WiMax is not Wi-Fi. It is much, much more like ADSL, only without the phone lines. It is fixed wireless. It is local loop replacement. Initially the 802.16 spec will support 300 kbit/s to 2 Mbit/s  (the same speeds as DSL more or less) over a distance of up to 30 miles (much further than DSL).

WiMAX is a telecommunications protocol that provides fixed and fully mobile Internet access. The current WiMAX revision provides up to 40 Mbit/s with the IEEE 802.16m update expected to offer up to 1 Gbit/s fixed speeds. The name “WiMAX” was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as “a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL”.

What is Interoperability?

In telecommunication, the term can be defined as:

The ability of systems, units, or forces to provide services to and accept services from other systems, units or forces and to use the services exchanged to enable them to operate effectively together.

The condition achieved among communications-electronics systems or items of communications-electronics equipment when information or services can be exchanged directly and satisfactorily between them and/or their users. The degree of interoperability should be defined when referring to specific cases.

WiMax (802.16e) is a newer standard of wireless networking designed to give the last mile of high speed internet access to its end user. WiMAX can also be called as WMAN by some people. Wifi is still used in LAN environments. WiMax was planned and designed to provide (MAN) Metropolitan Area Access, to homes and businesses.

WiMax base stations have the capability to provide approximately 60 businesses with T1 access and hundreds of homes with DSL/Cable speed access. Its experts are stating that WiMax has the capability of reaching 30 Miles but real world testing has shown 4-8 mile working radius.

WiMax (MAN) deployments are similar to a WiFi network. First the Internet Service Provider would have their T3 or higher access. The ISP would then use line of sight antennas (Bridges) to connect to towers that would distribute the non line of sight signal to (MAN) residential/business customers.

WiMax line of sight antennas operate at a higher Frequency up to 66 mhz. Distribution antennas do not have to be in the line of sight with their customers. Non – line of sight towers operate on a range similar to Wi-Fi. WiMax can operate right next to cell phone towers with no interference.

Deployments of WiMAX networks are similar to Wi-Fi. The WiMAX Base Station/Tower beams a signal to a WiMAX Receiver. Similar to a Wi-Fi access point sending a signal to a laptop. Some laptops are shipped with Wimax receivers.

QOS (Quality of Service) is a major issue with WiMAX because of the number of people accessing a tower at once. When a WiMAX tower is overloaded with a lot of people accessing at a time, i.e.when the tower/base station is nearing capacity then it automatically transfers the user to another WiMAX tower or cell. Unlike a Wifi clients who have to kind of fight to stay associated with a given access point; WiMAX performs hand shake at the MAC level the first time they access the network.

WiMAX is designed for building a network infrastructure when the environment or distance is not favorable to a wired network. Also, WiMAX is a cheaper and faster alternative than having to lay wire. African countries are now going to start deploying WiMax networks instead of cell phone networks.

Defense authorities are already using wireless technology to connect remote sites. Logistics will be simplified with the ease of tracking with RF technologies. WiMax can also handle Webcams and streaming video which gives commanders eyes on target capability.

Maintaining Strong Password



A strong password should have combinations of Alphabets, Numbers and Characters such as b.!@*^&)(~@. Remembering these passwords are very difficult.
Things to be remembered while creating strong passwords:
Use at least 8 characters or more to create a password. The more number of characters we use, the more secure is our password.

Apocalyptica "I Don't Care"

"I Don't Care" is a song by Finnish rock band Apocalyptica, the song is released as the third and final single from their sixth album Worlds Collide. The song features Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace on lead vocals. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Trackschart for one week and #2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart where it spent a year in the top 20.

Despite the fact that the song was released towards the end of the 2000's, "I Don't Care" made it to #96 on the Billboard Hot 100 Rock Songs of the Decade chart.

A radio edit version of this song exists where most of the explicit content, including the chorus's second half, are replaced. The radio edit version is available only on the single and the US and Canadian edition of the album. In a February 2008 interview for Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles magazine Eicca Toppinen from Apocalyptica explains why there are two versions of the song: "Actually we’ve reworked the song. Adam [Gontier] originally recorded his vocals in the spring (of 2007) with our producer (Jacob Hellner), but Adam wasn’t entirely happy with the result. So a couple of weeks ago, Adam went to the studio with (3DG producer) Howard Benson to record a new version of the song. It’s really great. It will actually be on the US/Canadian edition."

"I Don't Care" was based upon the instrumental track "Love Song", written by Eicca Toppinen for the Black Ice movie soundtrack.

Eicca Toppinen told about the song in an interview for Dutch metal webzine in 2007: "I wrote some of the lyrics to "I Don’t Care." Max Martin wrote most of the lyrics, though. The song is about a fantasy and not about anyone in particular, but I think everyone can find a sense of truth in the lyrics.” 

I try to make it through my life, in my way, there's you 
I try to make it through these lies, and that's all I do 
Just don't deny it, 
Don't try to fight this ,and deal with it 
and that's just part of it, 
If you were dead or still alive 
I don't care, I don't care 
Just go and leave this all behind 
Cause i swear (i swear),i don't care 
I try to make you see my side 
Always trying to stay in line 
But your eyes see right through 
That's all they do 
I'm getting buried in this place 
I got no room you’re in my face 
don't say anything just go away 
If you were dead or still alive 
I don't care, I don't care

Just go and leave this all behind 
Cause i swear (I swear) I don't care 
love changing everything 
You won't be left for me

You won't be left for me 
If you were dead or still alive 
I don't care, I don't care 
Just and leave this all behind 
Cause I swear (I swear)I don't care 
If you were dead or still alive 
I don't care (I don't care), I don't care (I don't care) 
Just go ahead and leave this all behind 
I don't care (I swear), I don't care 
At all...
