Bauer-Power 1000ec Entrecard Extravaganza!
2008-02-04 22:03:00 I have been a member of Entrecard for a while, and so far it has been pretty good to me. It brings in a steady amount of daily traffic which is a lot more than I can say for BlogRush when I tried it.Anyway, I see tons of these Entrecard contest going around and I figured, what they hell! Why not get in on the action, and have a little fun with it too! For those of you not in the know, whenever you drop your card on someone's site you get some Entrecard credits (ec), you also get credits if someone buys advertising on your widget.

BES 4.1 Upgrade Verdict: SUCCESS!
2008-02-04 19:40:00 As I mentioned in some previous posts, my company was planning on upgrading our Blackberry Enterprise server from version 4.0.6 to version 4.1.4. I spent the better part of last month planning things out so that when it came down to the upgrade there would be minimal service interruptions.Well, I stayed late at work Friday night to do the upgrade, and I am happy to report it was a huge success! There was one minor issue when upgrading the database. The issue was caused by a corrupt backup file of the database. when you do the upgrade, one of the steps is to upgrade the database to the new schema. During that process there is a check box asking you if you want to make a backup copy of the database before upgrading. Logically I left that checked, however that was the cause of my problem. I found that out because I checked the SQL logs in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOG. The log said the following:The backup data in 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataBES...

An introduction to Computer Forensics
2008-02-03 19:18:00 Computer Forensics is the process of investigating electronic devices or computer media for the purpose of discovering and analyzing available, deleted, or "hidden" information that may serve as useful evidence in supporting both claims and defenses of a legal matter as well as it can helpful when data have been accidentally deleted or lost due to hardware failure.However, this is a very old technique but now it has been changed a lot because of technological advances, modern tools and software’s which makes Computer Forensics much easier for Computer Forensic Experts to find & restore more evidence/data faster and with more accuracy.Computer forensics has change the way digital evidence is gathered & used as evidence of a crime & it is done using advanced techniques and technologies. A computer forensic expert uses these techniques to discover evidence from an electronic storage device for a possible crime. The data can be from any kind of electronic device like Pen d...

Big Brother In America May Already Be Here
2008-02-02 23:30:00 You often hear complaints in America about the extensive camera system used in the UK to keep an eye on its citizens. Some Americans feel that it is a blatant violation of privacy. Some Brits feel the same way too. Others think that if you aren't doing anything wrong in the first place you shouldn't worry about it. Either way, the idea of massive camera networks in the United States isn't a very popular idea. What if I told you that they are already here?A local San Diego News Station, Channel 739, and NBC affiliate did a story Thirsday night on just that. According to the story, the average person is caught on camera 200 times a day! Everywhere you go, there are security cameras in use. Sure, in this case it isn't always the government, but your every action is still being recorded none the less.For your viewing pleasure, here is the segment I recorded on my Tivo:How do you feel about this?

What Will Happen If The Pirate Bay Falls?
2008-02-01 20:57:00 I just spent the last few minutes browsing the technology section of Digg and noticed that Bittorrents, and news of The Pirate Bay's pending prosecution have almost completely dominated the stories. It would certainly seem that the pirate community must be a little bit worried.It got me thinking, what if the Pirate Bay was taken down for good? Kind of like Demonoid did, where will people turn? I think, if they are smart, they will turn to online streaming movie sites.I already mentioned two free streaming movie sites in previous posts, but just to be nice I will mention them again along with a couple of new ones. These sites will get you through the tough times if The Pirate Bay 's ship sinks:JooxWizMoviesQuickSilverScreenMovie s-On-DemandThese sites always have some of the latest, still in the theater movies, as well as classics that are out on DVD.

What Web 2.0 Websites To Stay Away From
2008-01-31 17:44:00 As a blogger you are always looking for new ways, and new places to promote your content, and draw in more readers and RSS subscribers. I find lots of articles on where to go to both find great content, and to submit my posts. I have even written about it myself.You don't often see articles on sites to stay away from, so I thought I would drop my two cents on a couple of sites that are pretty much a waste of time.The first one I will mention is Mixx. It is a new site that is supposed to be a digg killer. I have to admit that this site is really nice looking, but if you submit a post to it, don't expect any traffic. I have submitted over a dozen articles to Mixx, and have not seen one hit from them. The law of averages says that I should at least get one or two hits from them after submitting a few articles, but no, nothing. So if you are a blogger, and are submitting articles to them stop wasting your time.The other site I will mention is Plime. When I first saw these guys a few m... More About: Websites , Stay
Password Crackers
2008-01-30 19:57:00 I have been getting a lot of hits from Google searchers looking for ways to crack passwords for many different things, mainly people’s online e-mail, though I’m sure they were looking to crack other things as well. I mean, lets face it, people are lazy and I will go out on a limb here and say that 90% of people use one password for everything. If you find their password for one thing, there is a greater possibility that they will use it for everything from online banking, to Paypal, to MySpace. The trick is to find that one password. I wrote before about using a Keylogger to secretly find a password, but what if you don’t have time to wait for them to get on the computer and type away so you can read the log later? What if you need to gain access now? That is where you need to find a different method. Here is a list of password attacking programs that I picked up from SecurityForest.com: Please remember, that use of these items may be illegal to use in some states ...

Another Good Free Anti Virus Program
2008-01-29 18:21:00 I am always in the market for a good free anti virus program. One of the main reasons for this is I get a lot of requests from friends and family members to take a look at their computer that is riddled with malware, and slower than molasses.One of the first things I check is their anti virus. Yup, just as I suspected. The virus definitions are two years old, and they never extended their license. This is the perfect case to provide them with a free solution that they don't have to think about.Some people have their favorites, but I personally like choice, and I like to give people choices. I have recommended several free anti virus programs in the past including AVG, Avast, ClamWin and Comodo. All of them are good. Depending on the user's level of techno savvyness, you may want to give them something they don't have to think about too hard.This other good AV program is called PC Tools Free Anti Virus .

Don't Be Crashing No Servers!
2008-01-28 08:04:00 I have been in the I.T. field for the last 3 years. Sure it hasn't been very long, but in that time I have seen and heard a lot of things. I have heard a number of stories of disgruntled employees wiping out months of data when they quit. I have heard of database administrators, and systems administrators leaving back doors into the company and causing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of lost data. I have been disgruntled a time or two and felt like perhaps doing the same thing as well (but I do have some self control).Well apparently a 51 year old systems administrator in New Jersey was disgruntled enough to write a script that was supposed to wipe out a major medical database. This loser of a sys admin's name is Andy Lin (His full name is Yung-Hsun Lin). The reason Mr. Lin wrote the code was because his company, Medco Health Solutions, was planning on laying off four systems administrators. He planted the code on one of their major database servers as a preemptive measure ... More About: Servers
Computer Builders: Make Your Mark
2008-01-26 20:31:00 How many of you out there have built your PC? Went out, got the sweetest case, the baddest motherboard, a heap load of RAM, a high end video card, and a monster hard drive to store all of your games, movies etc? Quite a few I am willing to bet. You have made everything custom right down to the little glow in the dark decals. Why not make your mark with the operating system as well?This post is more geared towards private consultants that build PC's for clients, but can equally apply to the PC builder who does it just to make the best gaming system in town.

Pimp Out Your Linux System With Free Stickers
2008-01-25 21:41:00 I am a big fan of Linux and open source in general. I love the idea of free software that is community supported.

No Tech Hacking or Every Day Security
2008-01-23 08:48:00 When you think of a hacker you think of some really smart, super genius outcast type individual probably between 17 and 25 years old living in his grandma's basement "cyber cracking" his way into peoples bank accounts, or capturing credit card numbers. That is certainly what Hollywood would have you think. Actually, sometimes it is true I have to admit.More often than not though, a hacker doesn't always have to use their cyber hazard skills to get the information they need. Sometimes all they need is to do a little dumpster diving, or some social engineering to accomplish their goals. Sometimes they don't even need that. Sometimes all they need is to take a stroll through a parking lot. Or maybe you just need to watch employees come and go from a building on their lunch breaks. You know, some secret agent stuff.At last year's DefCon which is one of, if not the biggest hacker conventions in North America, one of the keynote speakers, Johnny Long gave a presentation on the art of ...

Backup Media: Tape, DVD, CD....Paper?
2008-01-22 09:00:00 Hello folks! You read that title correctly, paper can be used as a form of backup media. I am not talking about printing out your documents and filing them away in some nondescript binder to gather dust, no this one is a little more complicated than that.I first want to point out that I would probably never use this as I don't really think that paper makes for a reliable backup media.

2008-01-21 18:02:00 Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone, if you have the day off you are lucky, and I hope yo are having a great three day weekend. If you have to work like me, then I am sorry. What can you do right?Well if you have been reading recently, I asked all of you guys for advice in creating a test environment for upgrading from Blackberry Enterprise Server 4.0 to 4.1. I am sorry to say that you guys were no help at all. I did have one comment on it, but it was a sales pitch for Blackberry Hosting services which is not an option here so I deleted it. I'll tell you what I found out on my own though.For this upgrade you pretty much have three ways of doing it. One is you backup your database, then upgrade and hope for the best. For 98% of you this is fine. The upgrade is supposed to be a fairly smooth one. I have some friends at another company that did this and it worked for them.The second option which we are going to do is use a cut over process. You build a second almost identical server...
How To Take Care Of Your Computer Hard Drive To Prevent A Crash
2008-01-20 19:49:00 The computer has become one of the most important tools in our daily lives. In fact, there are so many people all over the globe who simply can't live without this technology. These people usually work and communicate through their compute that when their personal computer would malfunction, it would seem like the world have caved in on them.Technically, all computer hard drives would eventually fail us. These are just hardware that could weaken with age, constant use, mishandling and worst of all, the intrusion of computer viruses that have the power to wreck havoc on our computer systems. However, the good news is that we can actually prevent our hard drive from crashing down sooner than they should.

How to Manually Update any FireFox Extension XPI File
2008-01-20 09:41:00 OpenSource is perhaps one of the greatest things about the web. Using OpenSource programs, however, can sometimes be frustrating because when some programs are updated, others are not. Usually, you will have to either wait for updates of your non-workable programs or delay the updating of other programs to retain functionality. With FireFox extensions, however, you can usually update yourself. Let me tell you how.Download the extension you want to update to your hard drive.Rename the extension from *.xpi to *.zipOpen the file with your .zip application.Open "install.rdf" with your favorite text editor.Change the "maxVersion" setting as in the following example: REPLACE maxVersion=1.0+ WITH maxVersion=1.5.*Replace the "install.rdf" file with the one you just edited.Rename the extension from *.zip to *.xpiInstall your updated extension.Congratulations!

Copying DVDs Is As Easy As Pie
2008-01-19 21:53:00 Often, dvds are expensive and need to be backed up. However, a lot of people misuse this and using software technology, rip off and copy dvds to share among friends. The worst part is that people do not stop there either. Some even go and put it up on the Internet for others to download and copy. This is against the law. The biggest concern today is how to stop piracy. Although no foolproof method has emerged, companies are trying their best to copy protect as much of their media as possible. This makes it hard for the serious consumers to copy and backup their dvds.DVD disks are encrypted with something called the Content Scrambling System (CSS). The DVD player decrypts the data on the fly as it's reading the disk. People who want to make a DVD player have to get an expensive license to this secret encryption algorithm from the DVD Copy Control Authority (simply "Copy Control"). Each applicant gets his or her own secret key with which to unscramble the DVD so it can be played. And... More About: Dvds , Easy
Are Hard Disks Going To Be Obsolete in a Few Years From Now?
2008-01-19 00:06:00 Hard drives have ruled the roost in the world of computers and laptops for the last few decades. They enjoy complete dominance as primary data storage devices and have now even begun to be used in such consumer electronics devices as DVD players and mobile phones.There has been no technology until now that was able to come close to hard drives in terms of data storage capacity, reliability, functionality and cost. The commonly available hard drives have capacities of 80 GB, 120 GB and 160 GB. This is a huge amount of storage space available to a typical computer user. Hard drives are also quite cost-effective and easily affordable by anyone.However, they have some drawbacks. The drives are based on decades-old technology and their basic design has remained more or less the same over the years. They are notorious for crashing unexpectedly, leaving the users staring at the prospects of total data loss. Also, hard drives are mechanical and have many moving parts which undergo tremendou...

Some Things To Know About Digg's Shout Feature
2008-01-17 19:23:00 I have a lot of friends on digg. Sure some of you may have way more than me, and if so that is great. The purpose of this post isn't to measure who has more friends. This isn't MySpace after all.One thing about having a lot of friends on digg is it give you the ability to get the items you are submitting in front of more eyes, and in doing so you get more diggs. If you have a lot of friends and they all digg your submission it can give it the momentum it needs to get to the front page.The best way of letting your friends know about your new submissions is the digg shout it feature. It allows you to post something new, then tell your friends about it and ask them to digg it for you if they like it. The problem with it is that it can be abused. To combat what digg has deemed "shout spam" digg put some limitations on the shout feature. These limitations are something you need to know.The first thing you should know is that you are limited to 20 shouts at one time. Have you wondered w... More About: Feature , Things , Shout

How To Save Extraordinary Amounts Of Money On Ink
2008-01-16 09:30:00 Please read this article it could save hundreds or even thousands of dollars on ink cartridges. I've been in the cartridge refill business for 6 years now and there's one thing that I have learned. There is a lot of BS going around about ink cartridges. I'm here to set you straight and save you plenty on ink.Of coarse the manufacturers will try to force you to buy their cartridges and that's understandable because of the very high markup on ink cartridges. They will try to make you think that compatible or refilled cartridges will damage your printer. Lets look at it this way if you used 5 compatibles you would save enough to buy that $99.00 printer. So what are you afraid of?Now let me tell you I have customers bringing their printers to my shop all the time. The fact is print heads clog up just as often with originals as they do with compatibles.

Checking CD or DVD Images: Virtual Disk Drive
2008-01-13 18:18:00 There have been plenty of times when burning disks that I have incidentally made a few extra coasters. It is inevitable really. Most often, the problem is with the media. If you buy cheap disks you get a lot of bad burns. This can be fixed sometimes by burning the disk at a slower speed, or by making sure the disk is cleaned first.What if you have a bad disk image though? What if there is a problem with the burning utility you are using and it somehow corrupts the data when creating the disk image (Even if you burn straight to disk the burning utility first creates a disk image in a temporary folder before actually writing). If the data is bad, the burn will be bad. It is that simple.In order to prevent bad burns, you have to have a way to check the image. The way I do it, is by using a virtual disk drive. There are a few out there, but my all time favorite is Daemon Tools. Daemon Tools lets you mount the disk image and browse the files, or if it is a movie disk, you can play it on ...
