I was finding a way to embed audio in blogger. And i found www.vudyo.com. I signed up there and created username for me to upload songs. I uploaded my first Audio, a hindi song, very cool and romantic song which was sung by Meiyang Chang in Indian idol. I was searching for that song and i found it, listen to it again and again and uploaded it.
Today, GaiJatra, a Nepalese festival where procession of cows is marched around the city with all the wicked attires and it's National Holiday too. I don't know much about this festival but i know that it is celebrated in the memory of parents who passed away long time ago. It is also said, one should participate this festival whose family member has passed away within a last one year. Besides, people makes jokes,fun and mock people with their funny and humorous attire and gestures. Girl dresses like a guy, guy dresses like a girl, some where even made-up as a cow. Those participating,splash water to attenders who watches them, they run away and are chased and again this goes on and on. This kindda looks crazy but people enjoy this festival.
Besides, this is the day or say season when major publications publishes humorous colorful magazines satiring all the present context of the country from Politics to students,household,culture everything. Magazines are filled with funny cartoons and wicked articles. This is a funny festival where people tease others and at the same time pay tribute to their passed away one.
These are some funny pictures below: -
This is a newspaper cutting sliced into three images for better viewing. In this, a guy named Sushil Dhungana feels he's robbed by Nepal Telecom.
His telephone bills showed huge amounts when he had not made any calls. He went to make an inquiry and he found out that his calls were made to Spice Nepal numbers(another Privately own service provider in Nepal competing Nepal Telecom). So, he remained inactive(making no calls) that month.
Following month, he didn't call at all except he was to pay ownership charges only. But to his dismay, the bill was even more than those of previous months records. He was very furious,rushed to telecom office, complained and asked about all the call-logs to get in hand but those Telecom people didn't give him any call-logs saying him, they didn't have it.
He doubts their credibility. If they know where and when and to which number we called, then how come they not know that call-log to provide to it's customer when needed. He thinks surely there is something fishy going on. He felt robbed. Today, SPICE NEPAL pvt Limited is providing very quality and affordable mobile phone services to it's customer than Nepal Telecom. May be it's Nepal Telecom's devious marketing strategy to discourage people to use Spice Nepal's service by letting them pay undue amounts just because they made calls from Nepal Telecom number to Spice Nepal numbers. This is the mere translation of this Nepalese News cutting.
As always, Nepal Telecom Sucks!!!
I've found out Nepal Telecom's atrocities before and posted it to my blog at here, here and here too. And, once they plead to help them. I think nobody would be interested to help them. Because they've always looted peoples with unnecessary tax and now there are better service provider than them. Still being nations first Telecom, i expect they really improve unexpectedly. May be one day, i'll be writing in favor of them.

Recently, this small looking Ultra mobile PC(SPH-P9200) has been exhibited in Korea market during there some sort of Tech exhibition known as Samsung 4G Forum 2007.
This little beast has 5 inch touch screen running on Windows XP, with foldable QUERTY keyboard and 30GB HDD. I was astonished when i read that it has Wireless internet support and VOIP phone via Mobile WiMax. I couldn't get my eyes off it. It's damn cool and i wish i play with something like this in coming days.. whaoo
..I've been trying to get all my data transferred to portable harddrive 80 GB(i bought it for NRs 4900). i created two partitions using 'compmgnt.msc' from the Run command in Windows XP. From that computer management, storage--> Disk management and rest was self-clear. I was trying to encrypt my data and i stumbled upon 'TrueCrypt', an opensource Encryption software. There were two options of encryption, one is selecting/naming file, creating a dump storage(volume) and mounting it with the help of 'TrueCrypt' software itself. Second option is to encrypt the entire partition/device. I selected Second Option and right now it's formatting and encrypting that drive uhh second partition. It has been running since 20 minutes and progress bar shows 30 more minutes to goo.. ughhh.. dunno, what's wrong but to me this speed of formatting is very slow. But file transfer was pretty good, 480mbps. I really liked it. I just wanted that if i plug in the drive, to access the encrypted partition it would ask me password else not. Lets see, if it works that way or not.
So many foreigners come here and buys hundreds of movies and softwares worth millions dollar for just mere few thousand bucks. This is not my saying but one of the dealer in MahaBoudha China market says. He told me that when i asked him if he could buy all the DVDs/CDs i bought from him at nominal second hand price. His advise was not bad. I returned back. Despite, there I wanted to burn my own DVD's but that's almost not possible because, it's way too many DVDs that i may end up burning all my data up. So, this portable harddrive came to rescue. lets see it doesn't deceive me when i need some of my softwares back through it.
yesterday, i watched Transformer the movie. My small cousin brothers already have the toys of Megatron, Optimus Prime etc. The movie was damn cool. i really liked all the effects and the story too. i came to know surfing for a while that it's originally comics. Just like spiderman,batman etc. I've become it's fan because of the special effects.
more on next time...
According to Ron White, Three hours and four banana margaritas later, you return to find the copy operation choked on the tenth file because the file was open on another screen, or had an error, or was read-only. All your computer has been doing while you were gone is display a message asking you what to do about it. This is when we know computers are not like people. Even the dumbest human would put aside copying that one file until you returned. So will Ycopy. When Ycopy finds a file it can't handle, it makes a note about it, and moves on to the next file. When you get back from lunch, you still have to do something with the recalcitrant files manually, but at least all the other files are taken care of. "
"File copying tool is great for large scale copying and will skip files it can't handle without coming to a halt.
You have to copy a few hundred gigs worth of files from one place to another. Because this will take a few hours, you decide to take a long lunch while the files migrate.

A 17 years old George Hotz showed each and every steps on his blog http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com regarding how to unlock Apple iPhone.
iPhone still is restricted only to US. Since Apple has tie-up only with the American AT&T company,with this guy's unlocked iPhone, it could be used with any other service providers. This means, any network provider can fit inside this much hyped wireless device.
George Hotz, 17, holds an iPhone that he has unlocked and is using on T-Mobile's network, Friday, Aug. 24, 2007 in New York. Hotz has broken the lock that ties Apple's iPhone to AT&T's wireless network, freeing the most hyped cell phone ever for use on the networks of other carriers, including overseas ones.

Lots of young people are glued to porn addiction. Considering the fact that it would dilute the young mind and destroy their career, Australian government spent $84 million to develop porn filter. The filter which would block all the bad sites while being online and hence to keep young people away from such sites. 
So, Australian Government spent such a huge huge amount on developing a porn filter, they release it's service and within 30 minutes, someone 16 years old breaks all the securities it imposed. The kid, Tom Hood, 16 said after this , "It's a horrible waste of money," to the official body of Australia.
So, he rendered that filter almost useless and still he surfed those nasty sites.

Manhunt is a game with extreme violence,blood and gore. Once, i've watched my brother playing this extremely violent games in PS2 where a player has to execute his enemies and game progresses. Methods of killing included crushing heads,beheading victims and more. Moreover, it's very eerie and creepy feelings to see player hang his enemies' head around his belt like a grenade bomb. That was hellava scary. At that time, i read news about following the same way to execute his own friend and later the murderer kid jailed. Upon inquiry, he told he was inspired by Manhunt games and so the reason was enough to ban this game all over the world in different regions. Rockstar is quite infamous for creating scandalous game titles.
Now, the sequel of Manhunt is ready with the new title called 'Manhunt 2' set to release by the end of this coming October world wide. It'll be available for PS2,PSP and Wii. So, saddd, not for PC though. And it's rated 'M' by ESRB.

A tribute to the great king of rock n roll 'Elvis Aaron Presley' - R. I . P . I was supposed to post this few days ago but i was going through under big pressure and depression due to hell of a works.
I've been his big fan since the time i've known his music and songs, precisely since my childhood. I came to know about his songs, when my grandmother used to play his songs and used to make me dance on the rhythm. I enjoyed and i insisted only on his music ever since. Then i joined college and i started to find about the music i used to listen. Officially, i found the name Elvis Presley as the man of voice behind the magnetic music and songs. And, i started collecting his albums , more and more, i Watched couple of his movies and i read all his biographies. His life is truly inspiring and how he presented himself to the world. Starting as a struggler to fame-name charismatic life, he has everything to be inspired of. When i read about other of his fans, who still don't believe he's dead. I'm not one of them. Because, he had been dead for 30 years and it's the reality, bitter reality. But still, he's alive deep inside all of us who thinks he's a great human being and a great idol. I feel glad when people impersonate him, i can't do that because of my social structure but surely i would love to visit his home, graceland one day at my own expense.
Elvis Presley was born in Jan,8,1935 and he was found dead at his own home at graceland in Aug,16,1977. During the time of his death, it was really shocking to find out that he was badly addicted to some sort of prescribed drugs that led him to death. Whatever, he will be my role model/idol for ever. His songs are so great, so melodious and so rocking. Needless to say, before him, there was nothing like sensational music. Even John Lennon said once, "Before Elvis, there was nothing." It won't be a lie if i write here, Elvis Presley is daddy of all rock music today including today's various genres like blues,metal,RnB,pop,hiphop,etc.
I had been visiting www.funmaja.com for all my mobile phone stuffs. Be it ringtones,games,screensavers,movie clips or whatever it takes for mobile phones, www.funmaja.com was my favourite hangout. This site is brought to you by a group of Pakistani youngsters. All the contents out there are not for legal distribution but anyone can go and download the softwares,screensavers,games,ringtones for free.
Now, if i'm not wrong the same guys brought another site www.songs.pk. I don't know when this site is up and right now, feeling pretty lazy to 'whois' on them either. The only purpose of this site is to feed you with the latest bollywood songs. Go there and dig in as much as possible latest bollywood songs. I'm not promoting illegal activities and if you really like songs out there, you should purchase them. Though, you can't easily download songs from there. They've put the songs in embedded format that means as soon as you click the song title, it starts to play off the browser using audio web plugins(i.e quicktime plugin). So, once the song is buffered, it's ready to listen. But do you know how to download songs??
In Mozilla Firefox, it's hard to trace the files you've viewed on browsers. In the address bar, type "about:cache" and hit enter key. You'll see the information about cache folder. Follow it. Once you reach the cache folder of firefox, you'll have to make guess work about your possible multimedia content by yourself. I downloaded 'chak_de.mp3' and i estimated it is about 4 mb. So, on the cache folder, check the file size, once confirmed,copy it to safe location and change the file extention to mp3. That's it.
While your song is being buffered, check the internet browser for file location immediately. Copy that location, use any download manager, and give the URL address on it and download it off the Download manager. I used Download Accelerator plus(DAP) and my song instantly started to get downloaded. As soon as, the download started in DAP , i closed the one that is being buffered.

Referring to a news by National News Agency,Nepal, few Newspaper daily made headlines regarding 'Charge Nokia battery using Two peepal leaves'.
According to this hoax, using two peepal leaves and attaching it to the charging nodes of nokia battery, would charge the battery within 10 seconds. I see no botanical explanation how is it possible. I've read some facts about bio-gas,that's proven and practical things. But regarding this
hoax, i don't know why people are not using their common sense. Those unprocessed peepal leaves would do no way the miracle.
To my dismay, some popular blogs of Nepal have emphasized on this topic. May be researchers are not interested on this type of hoax or may be not releasing any Public notice because of falling prey to such hoax. There is no scientific reason at all if it's possible. If it would work that way, i'm sure, a mobile phone company would loose a part of their mobile accessory manufacturing profits.
Lastly, don't fall for such hoax. If you've tried or experimented using peepal leaves to charge your Nokia Cell phone, then i don't blame you. First time mistake is human nature, Second time committing mistake is stupid and third time committing mistake is 100% fool stamp. Don't be a fool.
---------------------------------------------
update - Aug 18th 2007:
Recently, I sent an inquiry to Nokia Care, and i was notified that all the informations are biased and untrue. Hence, this misleading procedures of charging Nokia Phone have been officially contradicted by Nokia Communications.

Yesterday, i was watching an Indian News channel Star News and i was astonished to find out that all the Nokia phones using battery with BL-5C label are at high risk of explosion at any time due to heat or while charging or while talking. Nokia has found this defect on all the batteries manufactured during Dec 2005 to Nov 2006. I just checked battery on my Nokia and it's BL-5C, i'm at high risk.
What about yours?? have you read news about mobile explosion, of course.
The following is the Nokia's official press release on this regard:
Dear Nokia Customer,
This is a product advisory for the Nokia-branded BL-5C battery manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006. This product advisory does not apply to any other Nokia battery.
Nokia has identified that in very rare cases the affected batteries could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge. Nokia is working closely with relevant local authorities to investigate this situation.
Nokia has several suppliers for BL-5C batteries that have collectively produced more than 300 million BL-5C batteries. This advisory applies only to the 46 million batteries manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006. There have been approximately 100 incidents of over heating reported globally. No serious injuries or property damage have been reported.
Consumers with a BL-5C battery subject to this advisory should note that all of the approximately 100 incidents have occurred while charging the battery. According to Nokia's knowledge this issue does not affect any other use of the mobile device. Concerned consumers may want to monitor a mobile device while charging that contains a BL-5C battery subject to this product advisory.
While the occurence in the BL-5C batteries produced by Matsushita in the time-period specified is very rare, for consumers wishing to do so, Nokia and Matsushita offer to replace for free any BL-5C battery subject to this product advisory.
The BL-5C batteries which are subject to the product advisory were used with the following Nokia models or separately as accessories:
Nokia 1100, Nokia 1100c, Nokia 1101, Nokia 1108, Nokia 1110, Nokia 1112, Nokia 1255, Nokia 1315, Nokia 1600, Nokia 2112, Nokia 2118, Nokia 2255, Nokia 2272, Nokia 2275, Nokia 2300, Nokia 2300c, Nokia 2310, Nokia 2355, Nokia 2600, Nokia 2610, Nokia 2610b, Nokia 2626, Nokia 3100, Nokia 3105, Nokia 3120, Nokia 3125, Nokia 6030, Nokia 6085, Nokia 6086, Nokia 6108, Nokia 6175i, Nokia 6178i, Nokia 6230, Nokia 6230i, Nokia 6270, Nokia 6600, Nokia 6620, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6631, Nokia 6670, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681, Nokia 6682, Nokia 6820, Nokia 6822, Nokia 7610, Nokia N70, Nokia N71, Nokia N72, Nokia N91, Nokia E50, Nokia E60
This product advisory applies also to the following accessories:
Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-1W, Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-3W
Your battery is not among those manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006 and your battery will not be replaced."
Besides, what is BL-5C?
I had used StyleXP,Windows Blind,transformation packs and other desktop skinning tools. They were good but this one is pretty enticing. Flyakiteosx will transform the entire look of Windows XP. It is not like skinning desktop look but it will entirely change the look and feel of XP to Mac OS X. 
This is the newspaper cuttings of one of our Nepalese Daily Newspaper and here a person is complaining about how his mobile cell phone service is disrupted by Telecom itself without prior notice to him indicating what is his indecent activities. He fumed that at least he would've been informed of his mistakes before cutting his line. He was trying all to sort out hardware problem but later came to know it's the Telecom's act.
He said, he was told that his number was used by Call-bypasser crook using it over VOIP illegal network. He swore he never gave his Simcard to anyone and he has nothing to give and take with such people since he's teacher by profession. He has his own duty to teach his students.
He further wrote there, he's mentally suffered for treating him like a criminal by authority in the Telecom when he went there to make inquiry and register complain.
--------------------------------------
My opinion is at least Telecom should have informed him of his crime. Is the duty of Nation's telecom to act like that? Even criminals are made known of their crimes. Then why is Telecom not letting people know of their crime from whom they charge taxes under various topics? I think this is not the proper way to treat their own customer.
Personally, i hate Nepal Telecom. Those liars always make big announcements and give us nothing but low-standard services.

These days, there is a phrase on everyone's lips , " New Nepal (नया नेपाल) " . Let's start with our New National Anthem. Check the following YouTube Video how our New National Anthem sounds and feels like.
Our New National Anthem has been written by Poet Pradeep Kumar Rai, alias Byakul Maila and music composed by veteran musician Ambar Gurung. This song is declared national anthem on Aug 3,2007 by our government. Old anthem praised only autocratic regime of king and this New Anthem praises our sovereign people of Nepal.
Words were quite hard to understand at first read but once i recited it again and again, it felt familiar and you'll see the beauty of words when it's molded into the music.
Followings are the wordings of our country Nepal's New National Anthem:
-------------------------
Romanized Wordings
-------------------------
Sayau thunga phoolkaa haamee yautai mala nepali
Sarwabhauma bhai phailayakaa mechi mahakalee
Prakritekaa kotee kotee sampadako aachala
Beerharukaa ragatale swatantra ra aatala
Gyanbhumee shantebhumee tarai pahaada hemaala
Akhanda yoo pyaro hamro matrebhumee nepal
Bahul jaate bhashha dharma sanskritee chhan besaala
Agragame rastra hamro jaya jaya nepal
-----------------------------
English meaning of our anthem
-----------------------------
We are the flowers of hundreds, the one garland - Nepali
Sovereign, spread out from Mechi to Mahakali.
Amazing nature’s millions of heritages
By the blood of the braves, independent and immovable.
Land of Knowledge, land of peace, Tarai, Himals, Mountains
Undivided this beloved, our mother-land Nepal.
Diverse race, language, religion, culture are so large
Our progressive country, long live, long live Nepal.

And, in our own native language(in unicode)

सयौं थूंगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली

ज्ञानभूमि, शान्तिभूमि तराई, पहाड, हिमाल
अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल।
बहुल जाति, भाषा, धर्म, संस्कृति छन् विशाल
अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो, जय जय नेपाल।

Too much of everything is a disease. So, spending too much of our time online is also a disease which is better known as Internet Addiction Disorder(IAD). This habit cuts our family life and hindering our social life activities. Normally, who is suffering from IAD, they are unsocial and ill-mannered that's how they are projected.
Some Symptoms of IAD are like:-
* Spending too much time on the net or while you are sleeping
* The strong desire for privacy when On-Line
* Signing up to multiple web-based email services
and more more, check this link http://www.chatcheaters.com/warning.html
To find really, if one is suffering from IAD, there is a site which test our level of internet addiction:

Around a decade ago, when i was using a MS-DOS 6.22 and some sort of dark-age office applications which didn't have today's GUI rather interlaced/scanlined GUI(very troublesome to eyes glaring for longer time) has evolved with times. At that time, i was taught that Bill Gates once(may be 1980) said that 640 KB ought to be enough memory for anyone. I was using MS-DOS 6.22, had 5.25 inch drive, around 640 KB of conventional memory when hit mem.exe DOS command and no harddrives at all. Everything ran off the 5.25 inch diskettes. Programs were counted on bytes and kilo bytes. We didn't dream of having Gigabytes of hard drive space and physical RAM. But time has changed gracefully.
Right now, i've 2 GB of DDR2 physical RAM on 3.06 GHz HT processor and 80 GB of harddrive space. At the current context, 80 GB is very minimal but that's not bothering. I mean looking back at time, i never dreamt of GB's of drive space but it has become reality now. I mean everything kept increasing. Size of programs,softwares,GHz speed,storage,memory.. everything. There are some barriers though.
Till date, we've read of Terabyte(it's 1024 GB technically) and the structure of our current harddrive will allow us to have only to the limit of 1 Terabyte of storage. There are already 750 GB hard drives in market and they are quite expensive for the time being.
Fujitsu's(a harddrive manufacturing company) 'Nanohole' technology is breaking that barrier very soon in coming days and we'll be playing with terabytes of storage at mere 2.5 inch size of two platters hard drive. Smaller the drive, more efficient and power saving would it be. That's what engineers from Fujitsu claims. The implementations would be Mobile devices and laptops. They say it can occupy 1.2 TB of storage.

This little nifty USB device is perfect for white collared executives during hot summer days at office room. While sitting in front of the computer, simply plug in the device's one end to USB port and wear the comfortable silicon tie on at other end and be cooooool. The tiny fan on tie starts sucking in cool air as soon as it's plugged in and forwards it towards inside our body. Pretty enticing? hai?? 
The cable of this Japan-made device is approximately 140 cm and the entire USB Necktie Cooler costs precisely 2,980 Yen(i don't know how much will it cost in our country's context with tax)
When i read news like this, i feel and believe that there are so many vulnerable / innocent / greedy / foolish people breathing air in the vicinity of such scam. As notorious as Natwarlaal, Nigerians(and some africans) are infamous for email scams. They send thousands of such scams all around the world using Internet and make victims worldwide. Their emails are very lucrative and offer a contract worth million of dollars. Their emails are so convincing that it's hard to not believe their pledge. And, when the victims fall prey to their scam, they make conversations and regular emails get exchanged. They ask for certain monetary return from the victim so as to prove himself(victim) the true/reliable owner of their money to be transferred. So, many victims paid either $500 or $200 and in return they got nothing but tension of loosing their money and being fool. In Nepal also, there are news making headings of such scams. They robbed so many Nepalese, those Nigerians are drug traffickers and mostly involved in counterfeit money making in the country. Dreaming to get huge sum of money from unknown source has driven those victims to fall prey on the hand of such scumbags.
I read a news about an Australian guy,49-years-old who got victim of this nigerian email scam. By email, they showed him $90 million worth of money to transfer on his account under certain business contract. The scam was started around a year ago in Japan and since then, these scumbags ripped around $1.7 million off him in the name of fees under different topics. He came for an appointment in Amsterdam with those nigerian thugs. It was pretty convincing for him since he was meeting them but he got likely suspicious after they demanded more sum of money. So, what else, he headed straight to Dutch police and those bastards got jailed. Six of them are arrested, two were nigerians and other four were south-africans.
Therefore i urge everyone surfing net to stay away from the scam emails which shows you very very convincing facts. Especially, if they write they are son/daughter of some big oil company, or if they are the only heir of their so-called deceased
rich relatives/parents blah blah.. who wants to transfer their huge amount to our bank account, then think it's a scam and never-ever reply to their mails.
SMART TIPS:
if you suspect the email, google.com is the saviour. Do a search on email's subject.
A girl walked into the computer center where I work. She said she was having problems with her Mac. I asked what kind of Mac she had. In an indignant voice, she replied, "Duh, Intosh."
After conferring with her husband, it turned out she owned a Macintosh with System 8.1.
One time I had to walk a Windows 95 user through a particular procedure.
Overheard in a classroom:
A customer called in with modem problems.
Lucky me, I made it to the the mute button in time!
I can't even count how many people I argue with about this, yet they insist there is an operating system call "Windows 95 NT."
One day I got a call toward the end of the day from a sales rep in Chicago who couldn't get his computer to boot up. We went round and round for about two hours -- nothing worked. I was ready to pull my hair out, but I don't like losing. To lighten the tension of the moment, I started chitchatting with him as we're waiting to see if the machine will restart. He has an IBM ThinkPad, and I told him how much I like mine.
I was calling to sign up with a new DSL provider. When the guy asked what operating system I was using, I said, "Linux." I was put on hold for five minutes, and then a supervisor came back and told me, "You can't use Linux to connect to the Internet. It's a hacker tool, anyway." I almost fell out of my chair.
In about 1993, Cambridge University had a few rooms of 486s, for use by members of the University. You could get into the rooms at any time of day if you had a key, and the site security would walk around every hour or so at night.
One policy, introduced after a few too many noisy games of network Doom, was that playing games wasn't allowed. One evening, however, I saw someone using eXceed (an X-Windows server for Microsoft Windows) to run Motif. Apparently he was doing something on one of the UNIX machines over the network. The security guard came up behind him, and the conversation went something like this:
Even the other two people in the room couldn't persuade the security bloke that it wasn't a game.
Overheard in a software shop:
Last year, the temp agency I was working for was arranging a contract for me, and some additional "computer skills" tests were necessary. The branch manager asked what kind of computer I was comfortable with. I said, "Windows PC," although I had used several others. She cut in right then and asked, "Word or Excel?"
Then it took me fifteen minutes to convince him that he had a Mac. Even after showing him "About this Macintosh." I spent another fifteen minutes trying to convince him that Windows 98 wouldn't work on his Mac. He said it should work because Windows 98 is for PCs, and he had a PowerPC. I think he's still trying to get it to read that CD, because I never could convince him.
Two night forepersons at our company were discussing our new computer network after just having been to a brief orientation session. One of them wanted to know what "windows" were, so I explained. Just as she seemed to be catching on to the concept, the other foreperson piped up. "Well that's great, because we have ninety-five windows on there!"
For my work-study job, I work tech support at a small college. One night I was working Help Desk and the phone rings. I pick it up to have a student telling me she can't get the computer to work.
Back in the early days of Windows 95:
My father decided that it would be a nice surprise to install Windows 95 on my seven year old computer. He had one of his employees give him step-by-step written instructions but neglected to mention that my computer is so old. When I got home he had Windows 95 installed and was struggling to install the first piece of software.
I looked at the instructions and saw that he had backed up everything and wiped the hard drive.
A friend just got his new Aptiva/Win98 system and bought a bunch of software to go along with it. He installed everything, then complained that when he started his computer up, the screen was so cluttered he was having a hard time finding his desktop. I talked him through the process of making his desktop a more simple place by turning off fancy wallpaper, toolbars, and so on. He rebooted and said it was just as bad as it ever was. Sighing, I took a quick trip over to look at it.
Somewhat to my amazement, I discovered that every time the computer booted up, a half dozen or so program groups opened up on the desktop, and all sorts of programs were spilling their menu contents onto the screen. After some poking around, I discovered that he had installed everything -- everything -- into his StartUp folder.
I asked him why he installed all his programs in there. He said, "Well, I wanted to be sure they'd start up when I needed them, so...."
My father likes to delete things from the Windows System directory because he's convinced that's where the swap file lurks. I have to reinstall Windows 95 almost every day.
A friend of mine had an old system with a small hard drive and not much memory, so she continued to use Windows 3.1 rather than suffer under the strain of Windows 95/98.
She called me one day to help her because her computer will no longer run Windows. Past experience had taught me most of her computer problems were self-inflicted, so I asked her what she had done to the computer recently.
Say goodbye to every .DLL and unassociated file on her system. She was somewhat indignant when she found out she would have to find some Windows 3.1 install diskettes and reinstall every piece of software she wanted to use.
About two months ago, a client called in screaming profanities at me and demanding that I either give him a refund on his one year old system or send a technician out to repair it immediately. His problem was that the taskbar was on the right-hand side of his screen, and he couldn't get it back to the bottom.
A few days ago, a client called in wondering why he couldn't delete items off the Windows desktop. It was soon discovered that he'd already dragged Internet Explorer, MS Outlook, and a few other items off into the recycle bin, and was trying to delete 'My Computer' and 'Network Neighborhood.'
I saw two older looking ladies trying to figure out the computers at a local store. I knew one of them would say something that I could send to Computer Stupidities, so I tried to listen in.
My coworker (who uses Windows 95) was having trouble downloading a self-extracting archive off the net. In an attempt to make it easier to open the file with WinZIP, he associated *.EXE with WinZIP.
Nothing worked after that. Every program he tried to run would load WinZIP first. He couldn't even run REGEDIT to delete the association.
He ultimately had to reinstall Windows 95 and all his programs.
From a Windows 95 user:
I work at an office supply store. When Windows 98 came out, we had a sale on new computer systems. There were more than a few people who were completely taken in by buzzwords and had no idea what they were talking about. The worst case was a person who spent five or ten minutes looking through Windows Explorer, apparently trying to find something. Trying to make the sale, I stayed with her, helping her when necessary. Eventually, I asked to know what she was looking for. "I'm trying to run Windows 98," she said.
Read in a message board of a local BBS: "I try to avoid using Microsoft. That's why I use MS-DOS."
At least three people from our company have come to me panicked, almost crying. They all say, "I think I just erased a program!! Help!!" In reality, it turns out they just minimized the window. When I open it again, they gasp, "What did you DO?!?!?"
We maintain a 24 hour, 800 number call desk for our maintenance contract customers, a very expensive undertaking. Non-contract customers can call as well, but our per-call maintenance charge is $250/hour, with a minimum of three hours. If you only call us occasionally, it's a lot cheaper than a contract, but it's clearly designed to discourage trivial calls.
In 1996 a per-call customer called. "What does MSDOS stand for?" she asked. We told her. Her firm paid the $750 bill without demur.
One time a user was trying to clean up his hard drive. He saw a folder called "system" which took up lots of space but only had a few things in it. So he moved the fonts and sounds to a new location and deleted everything else.
One of our users, upon receiving his new computer, deleted most of the files in the system area. He said he didn't know what those files did, so he got rid of them. For some strange reason, the system refused to work properly afterward.
Had a user that called the other day, complaining that all her files were "garbage" and that I should take her computer back and fix them. It turned out she was looking at system files. She couldn't read the binary code and assumed, therefore, that the files were corrupted.
I was asked to fix Word Perfect once, when it had apparently "just quit working." They didn't know why, but it didn't take long for me to find the problem. They had cleaned up their hard drive by erasing all binary files because "they weren't readable."
One user -- a regular caller of ours -- got herself into some serious computer trouble when she set about cleaning up her system. She had been exploring the hard drive in the file manager and discovered hundreds of files in the Windows directory with all different file extensions. Being of an orderly mind, and with several hours of free time, she had created a TXT folder, a COM folder, a DLL folder, and so forth, and moved all the files into these subdirectories.
There is a gradeschooler who lives in an apartment complex down the street for whom I built a 486 some time ago. It's running Windows 95, and I am forced to fix it for him constantly. One day he called me up and said that his computer is opening up all of his files. I grabbed my coat and hat and popped over to see what he had done to the poor thing. He had selected everything on his desktop and made shortcuts of them in a new folder on the desktop, in the quick-launch, and, worst of all, his startup folder. Imagine booting all the MS Office 97 applications at startup on a 486...quite painful.
I put my foot in my mouth rather firmly once. I was teaching a new user some basic UNIX commands just so she could get around on the computer when she needed to. I thought I was doing pretty well, but, in a moment of self-doubt, she said that she didn't think she'd ever learn how to use a computer. My feeble attempt at consoling her follows:
Talking to a Mac user:
A customer walked into the computer store I work in, wanting to return a computer.
I decided the moron had to solve his life before he could buy a computer.
A guy at our company asked to have Lotus Notes installed on his Mac. He said he'd be away for a couple days, and I could install it then. When I went to do it, there wasn't enough disk space, but there was about 96 megs in the trash. Ah, I thought, he's forgotten to empty it.
When the user returned to work, he came straight to see me after switching on his machine.
Recently, I had a guy from the local tech school come in for an interview for my computer assistant job opening. I was taking him around the office, trying my best to explain to him what my job entails and what he'd be doing if he worked for me. One of the very first things I showed him was our NT server, which runs Wincenter Pro, a third-party enhanced version of Windows NT Server which allows us to have multiple people logged into the same NT box and to start up a remote NT session from an X-Windows desktop. He was pretty impressed by that, having been trained in a vanilla NT environment. The next thing I showed him was one of our old DG 300 UNIX workstations. He scoffed along with me when I explained that the workstation used an old 16mhz Motorola processor, so it was not exactly fast. The interview seemed to be going well up to this point, with the guy seeming to understand most of the stuff I was throwing out (even the stuff I wasn't too sure about myself) until I happened to mention that the DG workstation, along with all the other workstations and servers in our office (save the NT server, of course) ran DG/UX 5.4R3.10:
He stares blankly. My heart sinks.
He stares blankly. So much for this prospective employee.
Two girls walked into the University's Linux cluster one time. They were obviously unfamiliar with computers and chatted with each other trying to figure everything out. I was doing my own work and had tuned out a lot of the conversation, but at one point one of them turned to me and asked how to get into Windows. "Type startx," I replied, for the Linux machines booted to a shell prompt, and you had to type "startx" to get into X-Windows. I never did find out if that worked for them or not, but they spent quite some time trying to correlate the instructions they had on paper (presumably given out in one of their classes) with what they were seeing on the screen. A full hour and a half passed, and finally one of them turned to me again and asked if this was the Microsoft Windows cluster. "No," I replied, "that's downstairs." It was hard to stifle the laughter until they were gone. An hour and a half before they realized they weren't even using the right operating system. Wow.
A lab technician (legendary, where I work) deleted a large and seemingly useless file named /vmunix from a Sun workstation. (This file is the UNIX operating system image.) The machine worked fine until I tried to reboot it.
Few years ago, there was a classified ad site called bigyapan.com.np and right now it's unworthy to visit because of the spam postings and unmoderated topics scattered all around which is just useless to take note of. So, i just don't go there anymore.
I just came to know about a new classified AD site in Nepal or say Second hand as well as brand new product listing site targetted directly towards buyers and sellers. As they say, there is no commission for the site owner itself. May be they are collecting their dough from Ads displayed on their site. I was surfing the site and it was pretty simple to understand or to make dealings. People were selling their unused stuffs(under second hand category) and selling them for reduced/discounted/bargained price. Some even were selling new things, pretty lucrative hah? I found this site pretty useful for them who don't mind using used things if it gives back it's utility at par. Though seller has to register his/her name(or account) in order to sell their items. To buy, you don't need to even register. Just get the details of product, either send mail to seller or contact on his landline/wireless numbers disclosed out there. Pay a visit to seller and purchase it or purchase it any other way that is most suitable for you based on negotiations. As simple as it sounds. I found it very easy to get the things at cheapest rate. Since most of the goods are second hand, it's of course below the market price.
If you've your own unused stuffs or the products that you don't use anymore, instead of letting it stale at your dusty store rooms, why not make it saleable. Sell your old unused stuffs at this site HAMROBAZAR.COM.
Product categories are as follows:
Apparels & Accessories (12)

This is simple yet useful classified AD site for all of us.
I've been using ZoneAlarm since ages. I was reading about Comodo Firewall Pro few moments ago. While reading, i was taken to their site and found that they are offering Comodo Firewall Pro for free. The services,updates they provide along with the main program is worth more than $500 per year, that's what they claim. And, they are giving it us for free. Some sites also claimed Comodo Firewall Pro is better than ZoneAlarm. So, i kept reading their sites for more info. There was an online test which checks on our systems security. I thought to check if my system is compromized or not. I downloaded a tool(Comodo Parent Injection Leak Test Suite) from their site and ran it. There were 3 tests(it seemed to me roughly designed VB forms). Before clicking those three test buttons, i was asked to input something(I typed some data). I clicked first button 'Test 1' and while doing so, ZoneAlarm alarmed me of something nasty being done on my system. So, i denied the request. And then i clicked "Test 2", nothing happened and then i clicked "Test 3" again, nothing happened. Remember, i had entered something on that program. After few seconds, a web page popped up and showed me what i typed as my data before. I was really scared. I mean how did it go to remote server without my consent. I thought at least ZoneAlarm would have triggered some actions, but no. ZoneAlarm didn't notice anything, it failed and the message on that Pop-up site was really scary "This data could be your credit numbers or some other important ", there was the data i typed before test. I was really scared and i'm downloading this Comodo Firewall Pro in no time. I think i've to say farewell to ZoneAlarm , because later when i checked the settings, the settings were set on 'HIGH'. I read there that 'HIGH' settings means the safest settings and safe from hackers intrusion. But to me, it proved wrong statement for the time being. 
Why is it free? if its so powerful and strong enough to protect our system and worth more than $500 per year and still not charging a penny? Here is the answer?? http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/whyfree.html
Where can you download it promptly??(english edition)

Microsoft Office Specialist Examination (MOSE), which will help people get Microsoft certification for desktop skills to meet workplace requirement,has started in Nepal for the first time.
MOSE, officially launched in 1997, is a Microsoft certified programme that would test and certify candidate skills in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Project. The examination is already available in 118 countries and has become a basic work place requirement to authenticate computer proficiency.
Joe Tun Sein, consultant, examination division, Orient Longman(OL), India, notified that 85 % of current jobs require computer support, and the MOSE certification will authencate the skills.
He said, " The certification has become mandatory for job placement in many parts of the world. The examinnation system introduced in Nepal would capacitate Nepalis to meet the workplace prerequisite throughout the globe."
It will certify candidates, who appear and get through the examination, with a global standard. It would be beneficial to students, teachers, academic institutions, workforce and employers.
Four authorised test centers - Galaxy Public School, Sea Gate Computers, Ekta Books Thapathali and Saipal Academy - are established in Kathmandu to conduct the MOSE.
Tun said that the plan is to establish ten centers in Kathmandu soon. "A minimum of 1,000 students are expected to appear in the exam before November, " he added. To appear in the certification test, one should purchase a certification voucher that would be valid for six months and sit for the test at any authorised testing centers.
For preparatory simulation tests, a MOSE practice CD is available and Cyber Learning is being provided through e-learning programmes.
An hour long exam will test the performance of candidates based on concurrent exam technology.
The OL is the authorised distributor of the certification in the Indian sub-continent.

Same group or an organization known as New7wonders foundation which announced new seven wonders of the world at the official Declaration Ceremony on 07.07.07(i.e 2007, July 7th) in Lisbon(Portugal), has come up with the idea of Natural 7 wonders. Before making gossips on Natural 7 wonders, lets discuss about New7wonders Foundation.
Bernard Weber is the man behind this New7Wonders foundation who conceptualized the idea to unite the world by honoring our common heritage. His concept took a shape and hence it's called New7Wonders foundation. The foundation is working to promote the UN's Millennium Development goals and has been officially recognized by United Nations Office for Partnerships.
It is said that more than 100 million votes were cast worldwide to elect their favorite wonder. Out of New seven wonders, Taj Mahal got the maximum votes. I still remember how deliberately they promoted and convinced people to vote for their wonder. Either be it Indian News channel or be it entertainment industry, almost every indian gave their full support to make this happen. Now, New seven wonders are : the great wall of China, Petra, Chichen Itza, The statue of Christ Redeemer, The colosseum, Machu Pichhu and the Taj Mahal.
In my opinion, we really needed new seven wonders because older wonders that we kept in history and text books, they were really not in a condition to stand their ground. There are now buildings/structures or are being built which are projected to be taller than Eiffel Tower. This proves it is no more a wonder(though it still will be remembered as old wonder). And the reason to be limited to seven is because of it's 2000 years old historic value and norms, according to the foundation.
Coming to the point, Natural7Wonders is another project led by the same foundation. Since the 7 wonders is man-made, these natural 7 wonders have to be strictly natural, not man-made though there are certain terms and conditions to follow and decide which are natural and which are not. For more info please check http://www.natural7wonders.com
The foundation has not yet listed any nominations but at first, they want our votings to list most voted natural wonders, and at second, they'll list it for nominations(precisely they'll list 21 nominations after consideration) and then we've
to give our all effort to vote for the listed nominations. So come on, lets vote for our own natural wonders. It'll go through 08.08.08. That means we've exactly one year left.
Since there is no listing for nominations yet, how do we vote? For that, think of any heritage, monuments or natural sites that we think should appear in the list.
Please give our choice of natural wonders for nominations out here :
http://www.natural7wonders.com/index.php?id=637
There give your email address,select your country where you are from, and think of seven nominations in your mind and send it. Please do it from now.
NOTE: Send chain mails, newsletters or create forums,blogs,online polls whatever, please act now. This little contributions of ours will make us known around the globe.
When I watched the first Gala Contest in Indian Idol 3, Abhishek Kumar was my first expectation to become an indian idol. He was stunning singer and very good performer. His performance started off being so good to no good at all lately. Yesterday, he chose very hard song and couldn't go with the flow. At times, i felt him out of 'Sur'. I thought indian idol is what it is because of singers like Prashant, Amit and Abhishek.
It is disgrace to see and listen to such a bad singers like deepali,pooja and chang still on the show whereas it's utmost upsetting to see singers like Abhishek and Parleen go off the show.
I don't know why i've some strange feeling that this time, indian idol would be a girl because those judges are giving hints so as to make a girl an indian idol anyhow no matter what. May be they are sick and tired of seeing male idol.
These indian idol judges are the most funniest bunch of fools(no offence..arrrgh..excuse me.. that's how i felt). It is because they act like kids fighting for their choice of toy. I don't care if they are good in their field or not but as a viewer i entertain a lot watching them fight. Anu Malik is one of the retards who blinks like a monkey after he sees the votings of public. He thinks public voted against his approval. I mean every time public voted them higher whom he sprinkled with his bad and harsh and comments and vice-versa. And, that look at his face, that's watchable and makes me go paranoid.
And, for other two judges Alisha and Udit, i've no more words to say(in their style) except 'cartoons'. Yesterday, when i heard Udit saying " If you sang Bad today, you'll be geography ". --- There was no limit of my laugh(ROFL). After few sec, Alisha the princess(who thinks herself as some princess and dresses up like Mario's Princess) figured it out and boldly fired back as a good English teacher,"Stupid, it's history". Udit blushed like a glowing night lamp out of shame and for his third-class english. So, these are the judges of Indian Idol. And, Javed Sir!!! i've no control on my laughter thinking how this old man would be reacting while making out with his young wife. Would it be starting with " Dekhiye!!! waha lett jahiyeee.. " hahahahahhaa
Anyways, farewell Abhishek. Wish you come back.
Whaack.. those two nasty buddies of mine, Tiger and Sheru, i washed them today. ha ha ha ha ha. Sheru is very strong and he almost left me fall on the ground but i didn't let him.. I don't know if you guys know this or not, if dogs are quarrelling, just shower them with a bucket of water or two. It is because, they are quite unfriendly to water and run-away,scare of it. Anyways, they are so clean and i can see they were so happy to see/smell their clean fur. Is this a techno gossips?? certainly not.
aghrrr.. Did you know, Microsoft lowers Vista Price in China. Approx. for Nrs. 4000, Vista is available in China. That's $66 for Windows Vista home versions. They have this home version, professional version things because, home versions are the stripped down version of full-fledged version. It's definitely a Microsoft's policy to increase sales and discourage the piracy. Amidst lots of frown faces, bargains and criticism, Microsoft sold almost 60 million Vista licenses by the end of June. Ha ha ha, in Nepali, we call 'kaag karaudai garcha, pina sukdai garcha' . I mean no matter how much noises and fumes come over, it doesn't bother the Giant much. I happen to see so many blogs,forums,sites who criticized Vista but seeing 60 million sales.. ha ha ha.. i've kindda feeling you know.. anyways.. Microsoft rocks. They've so many bugs to fix and patches to release for Vista. That's my personal opinion.
Did you know Sir Elton John is a gay? ha ha ha.. that's not my topic of writing here. Well, for sir Elton John, Internet is a curse. He thinks people is loosing their social life as everyone is listening music on internet and blogging all the times according to him. He says " the Internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff" according the SUN magazine. (By the way, i read this mag herein ktm, indian version. geez!! ) He's much worried because he's loosing his real life audiences and he even suggested to shut internet down for five years. What do you say for him?? He though let his fans buy his tickets off his website. Irony, yeah?? ha ha ha ha.. anyways, i don't want to tag him hypocrite.

What do you think these are ?? you know, these are the stuffs you should never miss.
Latest Security Threats and alerts, here all the main headlines regarding the recent threats and security news keeps feeding in.
Software Updates: These are the real time-savers and possess good utility.
Virus meter: umm.. these are something i never miss. i mean which virus or malware creating havoc around the world. i take a note of this section particularly, everyday.
I'm sick of reading news of software pirates being busted. But i read them anyway. Recently, an Illinois man,Timothy W. Hall,35(US state) was sentenced to two years in prison for violating copyright law through the unauthorized sale of video games on his Web site(Morbidbackups.net -site is down by now), the U.S. Department of Justice announced late Thursday. He's fined US$1,200 too. Now, i'm going to show the figure how much he earned since 2001. $266,000, yeap, that's correct and he's fined only $1200. His site sold stuffs like video games, for Xbox,Gamecube,PS2 and other platforms on CD-r,also DVD's of movies/TV programs etc.
I really felt bad, when i was eagerly waiting for the good news regarding Sanjay Dutt but,.. bad news. Sanjay Dutt got jailed for 6 years. To me, only possessing weapons must not be enough reason for him to be jailed. Why these Indian Court forgetting that he is a celebrity. May be his past is not that good and not inspiring for young blood but just because he has some nexus with underworld doesn't necessarily compel him to be jailed. 
In 1993, there was a gruesome bomb-blast in Bombay where more than 260 innocent people got killed. Those who committed that crime,they were definitely terrorists and they should be treated as same. So, i read some 10 or 12 terrorists for commiting that crime have been hung under death penalty whereas some criminals under the same charge as of Sunjay Dutt have been released on bail. Then, why not Sanjay Dutt?
I've been a big fan of his movies, i particularly liked his movie called 'Vastab'. He has strong character out there playing as a gangster and depicts the bad ending of gangster. I think, he is paying his debt just for having some connection with the gangsters who were somehow involved in that Bombay blast in 1993.
If i analytically see this action of Indian Courty, there is a message. A message not to be in touch in anyway with those social culprit who keeps terrorising people's lives. There is a saying in Nepali, "Koila lai Choyo bhaney, kaalo daag afnai haatma pani laagcha" something like that which means " If we touch coal, we'll get our hand dirty ". This is nothing but a message to bollywood, stay out of those social culprits which is known as Indian DON else be ready for the consequences. Whatever, for fan like me, i felt bad but in long run, this will definitely minimizes the Indian Underworlds involvement in Indian Film industry.
Today, i read Sanjay Dutt didn't sleep well on first day of his imprisonment. His eyes were soaked and there was fury in his eyes at the same time. He just had 2 apples as his dinner meal and nothing more than that. Policy custody is not letting him meet with his family members. That's against his basic human rights. I also read, a police superintendent misbehaved him. I think that policeman deserves a slap under his ear, because he is forgetting he's a celebrity then he's some convict under Indian Law. As a celebrity, he has been paying tax to Indian Government out of his income and he's not yet killed intentionally any people. Indian Court seems avenging Sanjay Dutt out of personal grudge.
If Salman Khan rode his vehicles over the sleeping homeless, and still he's breathing in fresh air. Khan who has been accused of hunting animals and still free. I think Sanjay Dutt should be treated same. His punishment must be minimized.
I agree,for illegal possession of firearms acquired from terrorists, who were responsible for the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, he must be punished. He must be punished for keeping illegal arms. He must not be punished as of killing those 260 people. He has nothing to do with that. Sunjay Dutt, if god is with you, you'll be released very soon.
