As i have seeen now there are lots and lots of things now adays which require you to send a reply or get enrolled via sms. like:

1. TV and Radio Programs

2. Luck draws

3. Political things

Have you ever thought about it?

The next thing you see at the end of the sms is “pass”

most of them doesn’t bother to read it and see if its true or not.

As you can see nowadays its almost all politics. no one care to check if its a true story or not. just pass it to everyone in there contact list.

i have like total of 222 contacts in my list at the moment. not all Mobile numbers for sure so ill assume that its like 150 or 170 mobile numbers.

RF 0.20 per sms local

If im sending for 170 that means RF 34.00

But most of the times the sms are written in latin that means its like they are splitted into 2sms so do that maths.  34.00 x2 EACH time….
Then i hear people say.. these service providers are eating money… WHAT THE HELL GUYS, U GUYS ARE FEEDING THEM. ….

just think before you add all of your contacts to Forward sms & just think about how true or false the sms you are forwarding is…

It’s been a long time since I have been having rapidshare problems. Say like 3 -5 months.

There are two problems I face

1. Sometimes I cant access rapidshare.com site even

2. The download speed sucks big-time

I have talked to rapidshare support team and even Dhiraagu.

Both of them deny that they have any filters or any limitations applied

I have a premium rapidshare account I shouldn’t be having any limitations from their end.

My best guess here is it’s a problem with dhiraagu. And this is why I say that

1. The times I cant access rapidshare site I can access it through a proxyserver

2. When its damn slow I can make it faster through a proxy

Is Dhiraagu IPs blocked or blacklisted by rapidshare?

Is Dhiraagu trying to save there bandwidth by keeping us in the dark

Below are the screen shots.

Rapidshare users out there please give me your feedback

Please let me know what you guys think…

its a DIY tank

more details later

DID THEY REALLY DO THIS? As iv checked They Blocked www.rapidshare.com

im using a Dhiraagu Connection 512 Home user.

Y do u thnk they did this?  

More info to come……………….

 Users of Microsoft’s (Nasdaq: MSFT)  Windows operating system  may be surprised to learn that Microsoft has been secretly updating their PCs even after they’ve activated a feature that seemingly prevents automatic updates.

So far, discovery that Microsoft is changing code on users’ PCs without their knowledge is limited to a single program — the Windows Update program that goes online to check for, and initiate the download of, other Windows updates.

“The upshot is that a longstanding procedure in Windows Update requires it to self-update before it is able to recognize that new updates are available,” noted Nick White, a Microsoft product manager, on the Microsoft Windows Vista Blog.

“This self-updating is done regardless of whether the user has enabled automatic checking, download and/or installation of updates. It does so in an effort to avoid WU misleading the user to think s/he is up-to-date simply because s/he was not receiving notification that updates are available,” he wrote.

For more detail, White pointed to a post from the Microsoft Update Product Team Blog, where Nate Clinton, Microsoft’s Windows Update program manager, failed to offer any true technical reason Microsoft couldn’t let end users manually start a Windows Update process on their own, at their own discretion.

“Had we failed to update the service automatically, users would not have been able to successfully check for updates and, in turn, users would not have had updates installed automatically or received expected notifications,” he wrote.

For tech professionals, Microsoft’s explanation may ring hollow. It may be easier for Microsoft to automatically update Windows Update, but it is by no means the only technical way to get the job done.

Truth and Consequences

While the practice of secret automatic updates may seem relatively benign, it can have severe consequences.

“The most concerning part of this is the potential for instability within in your environment. Historically, we’ve had problems with patches from Microsoft in the past where they would break things,” Paul Henry, vice president of technology evangelism for Secure Computing, told TechNewsWorld.

“Within the enterprise space, most customers don’t automatically update — they prefer to user a lab environment to test the updates to make certain they don’t break anything. That’s been taken away from us with Microsoft treading down this path of automatic updates. Personally, I find it rather frightening,” he explained.

Potential for Havoc

Even if a Microsoft update doesn’t break an application, it can have far-reaching ramifications outside of the PC’s plastic case.

“I know a great many people are concerned — I have friends in the forensic community that are very concerned that an update could make a change to a platform that is being used in a forensic investigation that could potentially alter the outcome of that investigation,” Henry said. PCs used in forensic investigations must be very tightly controlled so that no evidence can be altered, and even a possible opening for such alterations could compromise the use of the evidence in a criminal case.

“Some people in law enforcement are now considering blocking access to Microsoft’s update servers to prevent this in the future,” Henry noted.

Public Awareness

The biggest issue with the update seems to be that Microsoft didn’t provide a clear public notice of how the update process works, leading to uncertainty about how it may be used in the future.

“I think what people are fearing is that, if you read Microsoft’s license agreement very carefully, Microsoft retains the right to automatically update their code,” Henry explained. “Today, Microsoft is updating the update program itself — tomorrow are they going to be updating my operating system?”

More Faux Pas Than Tech Problem?

“Personally, I don’t think it’s inappropriate for Microsoft to keep Windows Update updated so that it continues function,” Stephen O’Grady, an industry analyst for Redmonk, told TechNewsWorld.

“What is inappropriate is to not be overly transparent in logistical terms, because customers that have chosen non-automatic updating should not be surprised in this fashion,” he said.

Most distributions of Linux, O’Grady said, automatically update themselves too. “My Ubuntu [installation], for example, keeps itself updated,” he said.

Could a user turn it off entirely?

“Certainly,” O’Grady said. “Like most things in Linux, updating is configurable. But out of the box, it keeps itself updated. The difference is that most users are inclined to trust Linux distributions further than Microsoft because there are no licensing or DRM issues involved.”

below is something i found while surfing for this and i would like to share it.  i did try this and did remove it from the current user  i was in but didn’t help the other users. so i guess its back to exploring.

—————————————-

what u need to do:

Go into registry

hklm\softwar\microsoft\windowsNT\currentversion\winlogon\

delete “IgnoreShiftOveride”

hkcu\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\system\

delete all hives under system, but default.

So now you can open Task manager use shortcut Ctrl Alt and Del

select Process Tab

From there you can find UOS.EXE .end process that one

Go to C:\Windows\System

Delete UOS.EXE

Ok Now is to change boot logo.

okay go to System properties from control panel or use the easy way (press windows button and Pause Break from the keyboard.)

okay select the Advance tab

under the startup and Recovery go to settings

Now find a Edit button

Now it will take you to the boot.ini

here is the Default file.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional” /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

so delete any thing comes after fastdetect

Okay now the last thing , to change the UZA O/S near the system clock.. right?

change this keys from Registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\

“sTimeFormat”=”h:mm:ss tt”

and delete these dll’s from the directory (which you might not find)

C:\Windows\system32\

DPP(1).dll,DPP(2).dll,DPP(3).dll,DPP(4).dll,DPP(5).dll,DPP(6).dll,DPP(7).dll,DPP(8).dll,DPP(9).dll

DPP(10).dll

C:\Windows\system32\VisLoader.exe

C:\Windows\boot.bmp

C:\Windows\system32\PWallpaper.jpg

so now restart and check how it went.
