Westboro, sophos, Chruch, #War
...
It seems people have no honor for the veterans who have lost their lives to preserve freedom and democracy. In the past I've read about Muslim protesters disrupting the Rememberance Day by shouting and burning poppies:
They did not honor the dead by remaining silent. They also burned the poppies, which traditional worn to commemorate those who died in war. This poppy is a common weed in Europe and is found in many locations, including Flanders, the setting of the famous poem "In Flanders Fields," by the Canadian surgeon and soldier John McCrae. The song is attatched below:

Another news I've read is the Westboro Baptist Church members protesting and disrupting and disturbing military funerals or just about any funerals where soldiers are present where people are moaning the death of their loved ones. Then the "church members" sue if the moaners inflict harm or step over the line. This is the most sinful thing I've ever heard!
Had they not forgotten the reason they could protest? During World War II, soldiers from Allies countries gave their lives to prevent the spread of Nazism all over the world. Had the Nazis won, things would be a lot different nowadays. Also, in the War in the Middle East, the soldiers are cracking down terrorism. Because of them, Alquida has grown weaker and no longer stage "large" attacks against countries in the west.
All in all, whatever your opinion about the war, at the very leat, have the decency to not protest or disrupt during times when people are moarning about the dead.

This is a response to this blog post:
http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/02/24/anonymous-hacks-westboro-baptist-church-in-live-radio-interview/Basically its a dog vs dog fight. The so call church is disturbing funerals where people are moaning the death of their loved ones. Then they sue if the moaners inflict harm or step over the line. That's the most sinful thing I've ever heard of. On the other hand, anonymous is ddosing everyone they hate and disrupting businesses in the name of free speech. I think both organization should be cracked down.

Today Microsoft has released the first service pack for Windows 7 (Windows 7 SP1). Version change 7600 to 7601. Go to http://update.microsoft.com and click on "check for update" to download and install the update. It should to take about 30 minutes (at least on my X64 machine).

subscription, Norton by Symantec, Norton, Norton from Symantec
...
Edit: All the links to the latest version of Norton Internet Security (NIS), Norton AntiVirus (NAV), and Norton 360 Standard (N360s) and Norton 360 Premier (N360P) are forward compatible so that the links would download the latest version whenever you visit and I no need to update the links every year.
You may not realize it but starting from 2006, Symantec has allowed all users with a valid subscription of their Norton software to make a FREE upgrade to the latest version (Version 2012 as of the publishing of this post. Just go to http://www.norton.com/nuc to check if you qualify!
Alternatively, you can download the direct installer from these URLS. Be sure to download the latest version to the product you already have! For example, Norton Internet Security users cannot upgrade to Norton AntiVirus and vice versa. Also for Norton 360 make sure you check if you have standard or premier (25 GB of online storage) and download the file accordingly!
Unless the previous version is glitching, Symantec recommends an over the top installation. However, I prefer to use the Norton removal tool first (http://www.norton.com/nrt).
- Download the required files to upgrade
- Download Norton removal tool from http://www.norton.com/nrt
- Back up identity safe if you are using it (Norton AntiVirus doesn't have identity safe so they need not to worry).
- Disconnect your internet by turning off the router or turning off the wifi switch or removing the cable.
- Uninstall the Symantec product through the conventional way (Through add/remove)
- Restart
- Run the Norton removal tool you downloaded earlier.
- Restart
- Go to %programdata% and delete the "Norton" and "NortonInstaller." DON'T delete any other files other than those two.
- Install the product from the installation file you downloaded in step 1.
- Restore identity safe

Keyboard, Windows, Ergonomic, install
...
I've just received the following "optional" update through Microsoft Update system.
Microsoft - Other hardware - Microsoft Hardware USB Keyboard
Download size: 174 KB
You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.
Update type: Optional
Microsoft Other hardware software update released in December, 2010
More information:
http://winqual.microsoft.com/support/?driverid=20403531
Help and Support:
http://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=hub
However, when I install it, every time I restart the PC, it tries to "install" the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 drivers. Usually, PC remembers the installation and you do not have to re-install the driver every time you unplug the keyboard or restart the PC. This update, for some reason, forces the PC to install the drivers and download the "keyboard" configuration ever time you restart or unplug/replug the keyboard. Reinstalling Intellipoint does not work! Its pretty annoying this installing thing.
In the end, I just did a system restore to the point BEFORE the update and hid this update.
Edit: Apparently this update has been pulled by Microsoft. It no longer appears in the hidden update.
Update: I have published an update to this blog post. Click here to read more.
I found out that the release of the driver update is coupled with the release of a new version of IntelliType, Microsoft's software to customize your keyboard. The software ALREADY include the driver that Windows Update wants to update. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/downloads and chose the Microsoft hardware product you have. Then chose the operating system that you have (make sure to correctly identifying whether your PC is 64 bit or 32). After download the IntelliType sofware and installing it. After installing the new version of IntelliType, the update will go away.
32 bit or 64 bit
The following instructions is copied from
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions
To find out if your computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following:
-
Open System by clicking the Start button 
, right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.
-
Under System, you can view the system type.
If your computer is running Windows XP, do the following:
-
Click Start.
-
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
-
If you don't see "x64 Edition" listed, then you're running the 32-bit version of Windows XP.
-
If "x64 Edition" is listed under System, you're running the 64-bit version of Windows XP.

PC World dixon currys PCWorld hack pc Comet tips
In any PC World or Currys store, you may encounter a PC locked with a screen saver with no access to the desktop. It is good for the store to prevent anybody tampering with the displayed computer but bad for anyone wanting a little play around. Not to worry I have a solution.
I once saw a PC World employee typing in the password to unlock the screensaver. To my advantage, this password is valid across all the PC World and Currys store, as well as a few other retailers (I think Comet as well but I'm not too sure. You can check and post the results in the comments).
To unlock the screensaver, first shake the mouse to bring it out of sleep. Then locate the keyboard and press the esc button in the upper left hand corner. The screensaver would disappear and a small box would appear asking for the password. In the small box type in the letters "dg" without the quotation mark. Then press enter. Ta da! You now have access to the computer to do whatever mischief you want!
Note this won't work to log in to the computer. It will only work if the computer have the screensaver displayed and not logged out.

Premium, Home, Windows, WIndows7
...
In
Windows 7, there are some features that are "extra" because the feature it depends upon has been removed. For example, Microsoft removed the classic theme but did not remove the option to "display full address in title" which depends on the classic theme. It even has the words "classic theme only."
I can't believe Windows has these extra codes in.
Also I can't fanthom the reason Microsoft does not remove the option to hide "known" (or all extensions). This is frequently used by malware writer to hide malware install files as a Word documents by using double extensions like filename.doc.exe. On a default Windows machine, the user will see filename filename.doc only and not the ".exe" part.

...
A few days ago, I went to see the Tangled movie and its pretty good. Its on par with the other Disney classics. The songs are quite catchy and easy to sing/remember. I can't get the song "When will my Life Begin" out of my head
I also enjoy the song "I see the Light"
Also after I came back from the cinema, where I saw the movie in 3d Woo!
I found that a person have uploaded the movie to YouTube!
I have compiled the uploads into a "play list" and have inserted some other HQ Tangled scenes I found from other uploader into the playlist where apprioriate. Enjoy!
Edit: For some strange reason, YouTube is not embedding the playlist properly and exluding some of the other HQ clips I placed into the playlist.
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=EA72F48E4BEBF406Edit: Disney have deleted some parts of the movie
and the users have deleted the rest
