mangaimano — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 04:46:47 +0000

The hottest thing on the Internet is not social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter, but Flickr-the popular photo-sharing portal – and the proof is: it has topped TIME’s list of the best 50 websites this year.

One of the noticeable trends in this year’s list, which was released this week, was on-demand video services, like YouTube, Vimeo and US services Hulu and Netflix.

However, the top two in the list were related to photographs, with California Coastline following Flickr at the second spot.

Third in the list was bookmark website Delicious, while community weblog Metafilter stood at the fourth place.

Popurls, the mashup of the web’s most visited social news sites and portals, grabbed the fifth spot in the list.

Twitter ranked sixth and Facebook came 31st in the list, while YouTube and Hulu came at 12th and 14th place in the list.

I recently had a curiosity to know about davinci….I redirected to lotz nd lotz of secrets ,controverzies.finally i

end up with davinci,hinduism,christianity…..nd now it increases my e-reads

the conclusions are:

Hinduism is a thesis, Christianity is antithesis and the eclectic union of Hinduism and Christianity after expunging

Old Testament is the Synthesis

http://www.nowpublic.com/da_vinci_code_from_hindu_perspective_kalki_bhagwan

It was created by a man penning under the name of kalki bhagwan xpected avatar of vishnu(hindu god) n near future…..

(“Paritharnaya Sadhunaam,
Vinachaysa Dushkritham,
Dharama sam sthabanarthaya
Sambavami, Yukey, Yukey sloga 4.8″)

which means “To protect the Innocents,
To punish the Guilty,
And To establish Righteousness,
I will born at (appropriate) times..”

-said by Lord krishna……

I had a chance to read a book of Srila prabupadha(ISKON founder) “Jesus loves krshna tell that “Krishna nd jesus

r same told the same ..They resembled same(lik sheperd)… (krishna -father ,,,,jesusu -son).and I found a

site

http://www.carrubbers.org/resources/articles/religions/krishna.php quite puzzling????

It might be the concept storied by the iskon inorder to convince the christians to enter the krishna consious into

them.

Beyond these controversies nd tabooos me believe in” me the reason for all problems nd me the best solver”

“man who believe the god may be a terrorist ….Man who doesnt believe n God may be a peacemaker”

“Evil worship their God….Angels worship their God”

“Snake which bite me may believe in god (

Snake which play with me maynot believe in god”

So may be or not worship and see and feel the god in everything from ur mom,frnd,ur pet,biting mosquito”

……Life bcom temple nd everyone worship you.

“Anti-terrorists plz preach the above. IT will be the only way to stop the terrorism)……..,

Moon-Tricolor flag

mangaimano — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:06:11 +0000

If things go as planned, the Indian tricolour will mark its presence on the moon tonight (around 8.30pm IST) after having flown

3,86,000km from the earth. The timing of this proud moment has been specially designed to coincide with Children’s Day.
The United States, the former Soviet Union and the European Space Agency comprising 17 countries already have their flags on the moon.

The Indian tricolour is painted on all sides of the 29-kg Moon Impact Probe which is attached to the main orbiting spacecraft, Chandrayaan-1, which was launched on October 22.

The inclusion of the MIP as part of the Chandrayaan mission came at the suggestion of former President A P J Abdul Kalam, a former rocket scientist, during the International Lunar Exploration Working Group conference held at Udaipur in November 2004.

The Indian tricolour has been hoisted on Mount Everest and Antarctica. And now it will be on the moon though it will not be hoisted.

The flight of the MIP on Friday is expected to be a forerunner to the second Indian moon mission, Chandrayaan-2, which will carry a Russian rover and alander slated for lift-off between 2010 and 2012. The crash landing of MIP will help in assessing future soft-landing technologies.

Does your Fireofox Say “Java Plugin Not Found” ?? The pblm WE often face

mangaimano — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:10:47 +0000

Does your Fireofox Say “Java Plugin Not Found” ??

Last night I was trying to install the Java Plug-in for my Firefox. One of my buddies suggested me a website having cool Applets on Maths Physics and Engineering Phenomenans , which made me to try my best to enable the plug-in and have a look at them. When i opened this web page, it said “Java Plug-in Not Found” and gave me an option to install it. I used the link which started the FireFox Plug-in installer, which tried installing the plug-in and ended up saying ” Not able to install the plug-in” and further gave me an option to try installing JRE (Java Runtime Environment) it manually.As I was determined to see the applets the night, I decided to install the JRE manually. It took me to the Sun Java download page, where there were options to select th package I would like to download. There I found the package for my FedoraCore 4, eventually an RPM package, but in a hurry I downloaded ‘binary’ package instead of the ‘RPM’. But as I have previous successful experiences in installing with a Binary source code, I was determined to face the challenge . I installed the package and sought the installation help in the same Sun Java site. I sincerely followed the steps it said, first as an User with Root permit, then logged in as the ‘root’ itself to prevent confusion. The package got successfully installed at the determined location such that all users would be able to use it ( /usr/Java/jre/ ).

Now, as I have downloaded and installed the JRE successfully, I then started the FireFox and went to the site, eager to view the applets. But, still luck hasn’t been with me. Though the JRE got installed there were no corresponding plug-ins in ‘ /etc/firefox/plugins/ ‘ directory. On my LUGC buddy Prashant’s advice finally made a Google for ‘Java Plugin Install for Firefox’ and ended up here. Let me make a brief procedure to install the plug-in, if after installing JRE, still suffer from “No Plug-in Found” problem.

Assuming that you installed ur JRE in ‘ /usr/Java/jre….. ‘ as I did, then ur plugin canbe found at : ' /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so ‘ .
Open the terminal and gain root access with su.
Go to the firefox plugins directory which will be most probably ‘ /etc/firefox1.0/7/plugins/ ‘ using :

# cd /etc/firefox1.0.7/plugins
Issue the following command at the shell prompt :

# ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32 /libjavaplugin_oji.so
Now check the firefox plugins directory for the plugin, which would have a symbolic link of the actual plugin you have it your JRE plugins directory, using :

# ls -a /etc/firefox1.0.7/plugins
If you find the plugin there, Kudos! You have installed the plugin. Now turn on your Firefox and check the site I told you. As I was able to, when you click on any of the applets a separate window wall pop up and display you the applets

If you have any difficulties then make a Google, or ask some mailing-list, and if the problem still persists then feel free to contact the Firefox Help. TechnoFreaking Continues…..

Update for Ubuntu Dapper Drake:

There is a few changes when trying the same in Ubuntu Dapper Drake, which I did a few minutes ago. They are,

1. Create a new directory called ‘jre’ within ‘/usr/share/java’ and CD into that directory before running the downloaded file. This will install the j2re within the ‘/usr/share/java/jre/’ directory.

2. Copy the plugin file into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/’ for global effect and into ‘~/.mozilla/plugins/’ for local effect.

Way to remove autorun.inf—-must read

mangaimano — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 16:56:51 +0000

There is a Trojan/virus (either the Win32/Pacex virus or the Win32/PSW.Agent.NDP trojan) that uses those two files. Here is how you can get rid of them:

1) Open up Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del)
2) If wscript.exe is running, end it.
3) If explorer.exe is running, end it.
4) Open up “File | New Task (Run)” in the Task manager
5) Run cmd
6) Run the following command del #:\autorun.* /f/a/s/q with other drives in turn

where # is replaced by drive name e.g-c,d,e etc

Be careful with this command it can delete your all data one by one from your hdd if execute wrongly so place your mouse on x position of cmd prompt windows and if it starts deleting your files close it

or we can do this step by without ending explorer.exe

just hit windows+R it will show you run dialog box now type cmd there,it will give you command prompt

now navigate to #:\ where # replaced with your different drive name

i am taking the example of c:\ drive

now write c:\del/a/s/q/f and give a space now press tab until you see autorun.inf press enter

now yo done do the rest steps as i said (be careful see clearly autorun.inf before deleting it and don’t delete any ntdelect there it may crash your system)

7) Go to your Windows\System32 directory by typing cd c:\windows\system32
8 ) Type dir /a avp*.*
9) If you see any files names avp0.dll or avpo.exe or avp0.exe, use the following commands to delete each of them:

attrib -r -s -h avpo.exe
del avpo.exe

SOURCE:www.thehackerslibrary.com

10) Use the Task Manager’s Run command to fire up regedit
11) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run (as usual, take a backup of your registry before touching it!)
12) If there are any entries for avpo.exe, delete them.
13) Do a complete search of your registry for ntde1ect.com and delete any entries you find.
14) Restart your computer.

the obstacle I’m in

mangaimano — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 18:03:54 +0000

Ignore the pain in my eyes,
Knock me to the floor.
Here I’ve shattered, lieing in despise,
And can’t reach the door.
Can’t let go, not even time can tell,
Fallen so far, no one notices I fell.
My eyes tell the story of how I’ve gotten so far down,
Just tossed aside, and thrown onto the mound.Sure you may see
My lungs gasping for air,
But no one cares,
What’s the use trying to get you to see the damage done here?

Gotta get away, somehow, someway.
This is what I have to do
To pull through the the obstacle I’m in,
And that obstacle my friend, is you.

Wish you could see
Just how much pain you’ve caused me.
Wish I could go back and get this to mend,
But time is the one thing I cannot bend.
