Intel readies new remote PC access function
Intel has developed technology that lets people remotely power up their computers and retrieve files across an Internet connection, according to a report on The Wall Street Journal site on Wednesday.
The technology, called Remote Wake, will work only on PCs that use a recently introduced chipset from Intel and requires new software to be loaded onto the PC, according to the report. The technology will also reportedly allow PCs that use Internet-based phones services to be remotely activated to receive calls. Remote Wake could also allow consumers using a Web-enabled phone or a laptop connected to the Internet to activate their PCs and retrieve files, according to the report.

SINGAPORE (AFP) — Watch out Google -- Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales hopes that Wikia Search, a project he spearheads, will break Google's domination as the world's most widely used Internet search engine.
Google and fellow titans Yahoo and Microsoft dominate the Internet search engine market which Wales said was already causing some worry among web users.
"Right now in the US in particular we have a really strong concentration of the industry," Wales said Thursday at the Global Brand Forum in Singapore.

MICROSOFT chairman Bill Gates said yesterday
the dramatic growth of the internet would eventually help eliminate
"the last constraints we have" and spark a software-writing revolution.
Mr
Gates, at a forum in Hong Kong to mark the 10th anniversary of the
software giant's Asian research arm, added that technology currently
being developed would transform the way people use computers, expanding
their ability to interact with the machines.
Increasing internet connection will greatly broaden services for
users, allowing them remote access to a wide range of software and
information, he said.
"People often talk about this as the internet service revolution," Mr Gates told a gathering of 1600 researchers and academics
"That will eventually lead to machines with lots of server capacity,
low-cost computing, low-cost storage. And that will let us write
software in an even more ambitious way, eliminating the last
constraints we have."

so i shopped on one eSite and information they are displaying on the side bar is “Who Just Ordered?”
who just ordered … w.t.F !!!
dude someone gave you lessons on hackin or just started writing code… well its not really about hacking but common sense and little about social hacking
so it says “<an uncommon name was here… i replaced the text> in Miami Beach, FL
( 26 minutes ago ) “
i googled it and i actually found the person… i could have called that guy/gl and tried social hacking….
just need to call n tell the customers
“we have problem processing your order. pl provide your email id once again and we will send you link to confirm the order”
– send spoof site link
– just get username and password ( thats a different story: any email i get, even from bank of America, i first type a wrong password ; )
– boom you are into the system…. get more info from user’ login and get back to user one more time… this time all you need is CC confirmation!!!
– finally close the deal sayin order went just fineee
the eSite i went to is not Hacker safe and i reach that site through price grabber dot com
 Paulo Coelho : eleven minutes
a great read. makes me wonder how intellectual one could be and how well they understand a lot of cultures.
a nice story and in depth coverage of human emotions.
worth a read
I am glad to donate some bucks to Room to read.
the organization is doing really good. in there own words
“As of October 2006, Room to Read has opened over 3,300 libraries with more than 2 million books. We now have over 2,300 girls on long-term scholarships, and have opened more than 220 schools.”
I started donating 100 bucks a month almost an year ago, which was close to 1/10 of my salary. the best part was to configure visa card for auto deduction.
my perception of change is not to shoot people with guns but give em computers and wikipedia and they will know what the world really is
For people who might take there donations too emotionally i must tell you guys that out of this 100 i believe only 50 will reach the needful. rest will be used by marketer, visa, ads and more! this is unavoidable as no one works for free
my bucks are going for “Nepal chapter”
you call it browser, but i call it a desktop application
with social internet support.... a nice and good initiative to connect real
people in real time

Don't be
fooled, though change is necessary it is very difficult. If not
planned well, it could cause major disruptions. It is human nature for
many to be against change, because it takes us out of our comfort
zones. Therefore, you must ease the change carefully and communicate
constantly (including listening) to make sure that people can see the
value and need for change but also to reduce conflicts and risks
through the process.

its great to see visually how average income is related to
wars.
http://www.visualizingeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/avg-income-2006.jpg
i'd like to see Avg income without war, but i am not sure any
technology/science exists to simulate this.
My interpretation of graph is "War is followed by boom"

Controversial music website Allofmp3.com is being sued by a collection of
record labels. The suit has been filed in a New York court against the Moscow
firm, which claims that it abides by Russian law.
"Defendant's entire business amounts to nothing more than a massive
infringement of plaintiffs' exclusive rights under the Copyright Act and New
York law," says the law suit.
Arista, Warner Brothers, Capitol and Universal are among the major companies
behind the suit. It claims that Allofmp3.com profits by selling music which they
own the rights to without their permission and without compensation.
When an online retailer sells music it typically pays royalties to artists
via a collecting society such as the Performing Rights Society (PRS) or the
Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS).

You can use the DynamicMethod class to generate
and execute a method at run time, without having to generate a dynamic assembly
and a dynamic type to contain the method. The executable code created by the
just-in-time (JIT) compiler is reclaimed when the DynamicMethod object is reclaimed. Dynamic methods are the
most efficient way to generate and execute small amounts of code.
A dynamic method can be anonymously hosted, or it can be logically associated
with a module or with a type.

Google is beginning to ramp
up its information indexing efforts to the point where nothing and no-one is
safe. In addition to making some headway into indexing
the Deep Web, Googlebots are now also indexing whois domain information. For
webmasters, whois needs no introduction. For those of you who don’t own a
website, an introduction will be necessary.

| "Ranger" Supercomputer Marks New Era for Petascale Science |
NSF, TACC dedicate most powerful supercomputer for open science
2008-02-22 Faith Singer-Villalobos
AUSTIN, Texas -- Ranger, the most powerful supercomputing system in the world for open science research, today will be dedicated by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin. This first-of-its-kind system entered full production on Feb. 4.
Ranger’s deployment marks the beginning of the Petascale Era in high-performance computing (HPC) where systems will approach a thousand trillion floating point operations per second and manage a thousand trillion bytes of data.
Ranger is the largest HPC computing resource on the NSF TeraGrid, a nationwide network of academic HPC centers that provides scientists and researchers access to large-scale computing power and resources. Ranger will provide more than 500 million processor hours of computing time to the science community, performing more than 200,000 years of computational work over its four-year lifetime.
"Ranger is the first of the new 'Path to Petascale' systems that NSF provides to open science. It is out in front on the pathway to sustained petascale performance," said Daniel Atkins, director of the NSF's Office of Cyberinfrastructure. "This system and others to come underscore NSF's commitment to world-class, high-performance computing ensuring that the U.S. is a leader in computational science. No longer used by a handful of elite researchers in a few research communities on select problems, advanced computing has become essential to the way science and engineering research and education are accomplished." |

One
of my colleague who is in ASP.NET, mortgage application testing asked me
"i am want to move to C++ application testing, how its different from .NET
application testing and do i need to know the language, or does it metters at
all?"
It took me infinite time to come up with an answer. I didn’t had an answer so
give her an example "When i was working on Mac OS X C++ Client-Server
application the tester use to pull out the network cable while document changes
being transferred from client to server."
So i came up with answer, yes it is different. But after putting a lot of
though i believe i was wrong.
there is no different between .NET and C++. .NET is no magic, we might still
have network errors. Only difference is handling and processing of these errors
are inside the .NET library. passionate people at MS has alrady tested and
validate that piece of code and we need not to test it again.
A Product!
Can you come up with a product which will show wot function area one need to
test and what not (Testing leads need to business rules to test in that
himself) based on language used for product.
For example:
what to test when code is in VB6
what for C++, Mac C++ or cross platform CPP
What when migrating from .NET to JAVA, JAVA to .NET
or even ASP.NET to Silverlight.
Market!
there are a lot of testers and test plans written every day. But since this is
going to be a new approach for testing i'd say the market size is Zero
and i'd also say free software fits well in zero size markets
Lately i have been in and out of the systems. It feels good to be in : + i like the watch a few videos on http://radio.xmlstoragesystem.com
