Rubber brains  King.s Joker 14:04:33 |
 | A friend of mine has told me a story about a lecture on neurophysiology in their university. Their don brought a real human brain preserved in alcohol and a rubber model. He starts explaining the brain structure on the model. Everything goes wrong, the model falls apart. The don says: "My rubber brain is a trouble indeed..." The audience starts giggling. But his next phrase brought them to laughing out loud. He said: "Real brain is better, but I have so little left". |

| Combating SpamTerrorism King.s Joker 12:35:01 |
| Cold wars are never over. The game goes on, the only thing that changes is players. Today they are spammers vs Internet-users. Strange that it may seem, spammers from Russia and US have united their forces against common Net-surfers. Most spam-terrorists come from the US and Eastern Europe. It may seem strange, but 80% of all world spam is written and sent out by a small hardcore group of not more than 200 spam gangs.
A new X-com for these Unknown Enemies is Spamhaus Project. It is able to analyze and maintain evidence on the most prolific spam gangs around the planet, which it publishes as the Register Of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO), used by ISPs to avoid signing up known spammers and by law enforcement agencies to help with investigations and prosecutions.

| Erase'em All! King.s Joker 10:37:32 |
| 
Plextor today announced its new PlexEraser PX-OE100E CD/DVD destroyer. The new PlexEraser drive delivers a secure environmentally friendly method of destroying CD/DVD discs to security-conscious companies and individuals. The standalone unit operates without the need of a PC and is an alternative to disc shredders that are currently available. Plextor believes the PlexEraser will find its use in finance, government/military, research industries and companies with sensitive data.
The Plextor PlexEraser PX-OE100E destroys CD/DVD discs by using a laser beam that kills off data recording portions of optical discs. Discs that have been put through the PlexEraser PX-OE100E are rendered unrecoverable and safe to throw away in a regular fashion, though the discs can be run through a CD/DVD shredder for increased security.
Eight types of CD/DVD’s are supported with the PlexEraser PX-OE100E drive including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, and DVD+R DL discs. Smaller 8cm discs are also supported by the PlexEraser PX-OE100E as well. As far as timing goes, Plextor claims the average data destroying time is around three minutes for single-layer CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs while dual-layer discs take a little longer at around six minutes.
In addition to its data destroying capabilities, the Plextor PlexEraser PX-OE100E has a 35 decibel noise output and low power consumption. The device is also labeled with a bright orange tray and bright yellow warning stickers to prevent the accidental destruction of discs.
The PlexEraser PX-OE100E is expected to ship to distributors next month with an M.S.R.P. of $249.99 USD. It will be available in North and South America and have a one year warranty with unlimited toll-free technical support. The PlexEraser was unofficially announced earlier this year. |

| Is Windows a Virus? King.s Joker 13:11:11 |
| No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
1.They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.
2.Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that.
3.Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too.
4.Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too.
5.Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, Windows does that, too.
Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
So Windows is not a virus.
It's a bug

| The top ten reasons why the television is better than the World Wide Web King.s Joker 13:17:18 |
| 10. It doesn't take minutes to build the picture when you change TV channels.
9. When was the last time you tuned in to "Melrose Place" and got a "Error 404" message?
8. There are fewer grating color schemes on TV--even on MTV.
7. The family never argues over which Web site to visit this evening.
6. A remote control has fewer buttons than a keyboard.
5. Even the worst TV shows never excuse themselves with an "Under Construction" sign.
4. Seinfeld never slows down when a lot of people tune in.
3. You just can't find those cool Health Rider infomercials on the Web.
2. Set-top boxes don't beep and whine when you hook up to HBO.
1. You can't surf the Web from a couch with a beer in one hand and Doritos in the other. |

| HACKING King.s Joker 12:25:27 |
| Of course, my Sirs/Madams, hacking does not belong to the field of jests, but it's a topic I'm very interested in. And here I'd like to mention some good old methods of hacking via search engines (e.g. Google).
1) to get inline passwords, type 'http://* @www" bob:bob' in the query, or 'http://*@www'followed with the the domain name without the .com or .net.
2) a great lot of things may appear at the query 'index.of.password'
3) 'access denied for user', 'using password' can display the username, database, path names and partial SQL code
If anyone knows some other popular ways of hacking, I invite you to share experience/opinions.
