Cow – Warning ! Contains Deadly Humor – You have been Warned !

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Even before I could finish the first 2 lines of this email I received from a friend of mine, I rushed here to post it for, it is worth the posting and I must warn you if you know English will end up rolling on the floor laughing by the time you are done reading it :) It was suppose to be for some IAS exam but dunno if that is really true. But IAS exam stands for Indian Administrative Service Exam. Anyways google it up for more details… wont bore you any further continue reading …

You’ll forget English by the time you finish reading this. This is a true essay written by a Bihari candidate at the UPSC (IAS) Examinations. The candidate has written an essay on the Indian cow:

Indian Cow

HE IS THE COW. “The cow is a successful animal. Also he is 4 footed, And because he is female, he give milks, [but will do so when he is got child]. He is same like God, sacred to Hindus and useful to man. But he has got four legs together. Two are forward and two are afterwards. His whole body can be utilized for use. More so the milk. Milk comes from 4 taps attached to his basement.

[Horses don't have any such attachment] What can it do? Various ghee, butter, cream, curd, why and the condensed milk and so forth. Also he is useful to cobbler, waterman’s and mankind generally. His motion is slow only because he is of lazy species, Also his other motion.. gober* is much useful to trees, plants as well as for making flat cakes [like Pizza], in hand and drying in the sun.

Cow is the only animal that extricates his feeding after eating. Then afterwards she chews with his teeth that are situated in the inside of the mouth. He is incessantly in the meadows in the grass. His only attacking and defending organ is the horns, especially so when he is got child. This is done by knowing his head whereby he causes the weapons to be paralleled to the ground of the earth and instantly proceed with great velocity forwards. He has got tails also, situated in the backyard, but not like similar animals. It has hairs on the other end of the other side. This is done to frighten away the files.

The palms of his feet are soft unto the touch. So the grasses head is not crushed. At night time have poses by looking down on the ground and he shouts. His eyes and nose are like his other relatives. This is the cow……

We are informed that the candidate passed the exam, and is now an IAS, somewhere in Bihar.

NOTE: This is an article about english and how it works :) and not about Cows :)

*PS: ‘Gobar’ = Bullshit basically !

Sophos going downhill – or Sophos Vs Microsoft Security Essentials

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Sophos going downhill or Sophos vs Microsoft Security Essentials – which title suits this post i am not too sure but anyways read on and be the judge of that yourself !
At work both as a student and employee at the university we are suppose to be using Sophos for virus and Trojan protection… but I have had few notify me that sophos is failing to deliver… Windows Security Essentials (MSE codename Morro) is beating down hard on Sophos. .. More about the Security Essentials can be read from and also downloaded free of cost if I am not mistaken via : http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

Since, I run XP 64 bit I am not able to try it out myself cause it does not apparently have an installer for that version of XP. It’s rather limited to XP 32 bit, Win 7 32/64 bit only. If it was just one person saying that “o windows essentials thingy found Trojan and malware that were not detected by sophos” I be more speculative about the situation, but I have about 3 or 4 users, all very well versed with computers and some quite versed with computer security, not afraid to say out loud “ Sophos Failed “ .

Looking around on the web, I read a rather interesting article at softpedia, stating this very interesting find [“With a detection rate of 56%, Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0 managed to grab the fifth position, along with F-Secure, which delivered a similar performance. Only five products bested MSE, namely ESET NOD32 with a detection rate of 60%, Kaspersky with 64%, G Data with 66%, and Avira with 74%. However, at the same time, Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0 also delivered a very low number of false positives.

MSE mistook no more than 15 legitimate code samples for malware, while not the same can be said of Avira, Sophos, McAfee, TrustPort, Norman, and Kingsoft, which all had in excess of 15 false positives. This is why MSE received the highest possible certification from AV-Comparatives, along with additional security solutions that balanced a high detection rate with a low number of false positives. “] – source http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-vs-Kaspersky-Nod32-BitDefender-Symantec-McAfee-128482.shtml

Now reading that article it was no surprise to me that users were coming to me complaining about how “Sophos Sucks” compared to MSE. It’s funny how Sophos wrote an article about Vulnerabilites in Windows 7 stating  “Lesson learned? You still need to run anti-virus on Windows 7. Microsoft, in the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report released yesterday, stated that “The infection rate of Windows Vista SP1 was 61.9 percent less than that of Windows XP SP3.” – source http://www.sophos.com/blogs/chetw/g/2009/11/03/windows-7-vulnerable-8-10-viruses . At the end of the article Sophos had a very nice conclusion: (more…)

Cheap Coca Cola Cans – Why do they Rupture inside your Refrigerators ??!!

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

So, this seems to be the second time I had to clean my refrigerator due to “coke can” exploding its guts out. Last time it was nothing similar to what I have to show you. Do note that there are three other cans sitting right beside the can that went kaboooom overnight, leaving an ugly mess for me to clean ! Some images are not sharp enough but still gives you an idea of what happened.
The top of can shows you exactly what happened, and do look at the amount of coke left inside the can after the lid got popped out ! Lid/top was bent as if it was run over by something, at the bottom of can you can see that it tried to expand but thanks to weaker lid at top bigger mess was avoided, because if the bottom had ruptured it would have spilled all the coke inside the fridge.  For those wondering that, yaa maybe the can was chilled before putting it in, well that would be incorrect, all cans placed inside are at room temperature prior to their storage and above all none of them are shaken before they get stored. So to conclude, what happened overnight was due to following reasons :

1. Cheapness of Coke Can (who is responsible ? The makers aka Coca-Cola) [NOTE: IT was not in FREEZER, other Cans were not affected]

2. Bad Karma !

It’s  up to the users reading this post, to come up with their own reasons as to why would the can would rupture the way it did. For me this is not the first time, and till i keep drinking coca-cola zero and storing it at work like i do with all other drinks, it wont be last time either.  Next time I will try to get temperature of inside the refrigeration unit and that of the can that ruptures leaving nothing to drink, and lots of mess to clean up.  Do share your horror stories if any of such a similar incident.

Few pictures posted below, rest can be browsed via : Exploding

Bent Ruptured Lid and Top of the Can

My Dream Sequence

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Just a little blog post of my dream from last night, we dream a lot, but do not remember most of the time what we dreamed about, sometimes i get lucky and remember them for long enough to write about :) .

Starts of with me and someone else in a party some where in a tall building, probably close to some ocean. There is another building we can see from the window to its left, and we are thinking of buying some flat or something in that building, but all the sudden we call the building owner or someone, saying that its bit too far from this building we are in already, and the next minute see the other building move closer, i still do not understand how that is possible, maybe in the future. But hey its a dream so anything is possible in there. For a few minutes or so I imagine some scenarios of living in tall building, and imagine a huge tidal wave or something hitting the building and some floods, flooding the botttom floors, and thinking good thing we want to get the top level accomodation :) .

Next the other person asks me to drive to some friend of ours, house. So we take off, and the next thing i notice or remember is, me driving one of those geared Vespa Scooters. See Picture below. And guess what, we are all the sudden driving Vespa on a rural round probably somewhere in punjab,India, cause the fellaw we were going to meet comes from punjab, but all i know is that the person currently lives Canada, so how we went from Canada to India, I dunno.

Happy New Year Twenty Ten Oh !!

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

I was watching the news there is debate over whether we should refer to this new year as twenty-ten or two thousand ten. Which do you think is more appropriate?

Was one of the comments on this blog marked as spam by system cause of probably the link to some site. Anyways Happy New Year Twenty Ten Oh !!

That is right why not call 2010 Twenty Ten Oh !! Like we used to call 2009 as Twenty Oh Nine ?

Decided to come up with that naming convention to be used by myself for the rest of the year for someone I was talking to seemed depressed and did not know what to call 2010 and missed 2009 for its cool nomenclature ! Well asked him how about Twenty Ten Oh ? And he seemed satisfied and not so depressed :) .

Anyways guys ! Happy New Year 2010 , however you will say 2010, be it Twenty Ten, Two Thousand and Ten (Wow that long and sounds boring) , or Twenty Ten Oh !!

Going to be Busy Saturday ! Building computer, upgrading Wordpress

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

So finally, looks like my shipment came for the power supply and case, however the ups tracking shows its signed by someone named Kareem, hmm I wonder what happen there ?  Anyways tested the power supply with tester and seems to be working, unlike my old Antec supply which apparently has been shipped and received by Antecs RMA department outsourced to some 3rd party company seems like it.. Will see what happens to the supply.

But tomorrow aka today, Saturday,I shall be busy moving my existing system into the big bulky case and trying to do some cable management and airflow stuff for optimum cooling, ordered 3 extra fans and an Antec 2000 Fan controller, hopefully case will be good enough to have all my 5 hdd’s inside it and having temps of 35 to 38 C usually right now, except 2 of them which run hot at 45C due to no place to put them infront of 120 mm fan.

The new supply from OCZ GamerXtreme 850 Watt seems to be pulling air in from the 140/120 mm fan and blowing it out, but since the new case psu is mounted at the bottom i wonder if the flow of air could be reversed so it intakes air from outside or something like my old fried Antec supply did, but that is probably a bad idea, since old one died and i think that was wrong design. Anyways will try to figure something out on how to make the case most efficient with air cooling.

Also wordpress seems like need yet another update to 2.9 , it has not been even 1 or 2 maybe since I updated wordpress backed. They are really good with updates, but still they are rather frequently needed which is bit annoying.

Gnite will need energy to rap up everything by evening so can do some L4D2 :) maybe later at night.
