2009-02-02T09:33:00.001+08:00

as the amount of known users to this blog,there are cases of spamming,and othern actions that tarnish this website's reputation.i just wish to tell the people who do this to stop.i wish to have a blog with a reputation of 'excellent'. thank for all your cooperation.

great achievements from may 24th,2008

2009-01-29T20:35:00.004+08:00

continuous flow of topic and things by me,despite the (i will eliminate the words here) exams,i kept writing(erm... computer?) thats a wonderful achievement! now,the 7th months later,a great blog of a reputation,which falls in the Good~Excellent category,which is also impressive for me. Although i do not really come out with new ideas,or any tips and tricks,but i will. Try to get new and cool things,but,it might be..(around 98% maybe?) about linux,so seat back and relax.if you are a windows or mac user...(ok,thats too bad)then you might be disappointed a little.

If you are a linux user,why not send me a email,if you have any tips and tricks to share,i may help you to post it,remember to put in your full name(nicknames are all ok) and anything you would like to share(from facebook to myspace,from your website to your blog,etc).

If you somehow (i bet i just cut the crap),you also can put them at the chat box.

the tips and tricks approve are(all os welcome):

Websites of cool things like tips or supporters(like badvista.org)

Or tips that you have somehow found out.

Even you just wanna say hello(THIS ONE IS STRICTLY FOR CHATBOX ONLY)

all welcome!(from classmates to computer geeks(nerds?))

100th post!

2009-01-17T21:10:00.002+08:00

Qualification Number(OG/N231/E101/BDB)

actually, there are lots of holes in this email.

the first one is, "YOUR E-MAIL WON!!!"

i didnt want 2 join any stupid lucky draws online.So win wat?(exp. for childrens!)

anthor one is :
wat is "jmail"??? If you had look carefully,"Contact Dr.Terry Williams via terrywilliams0008@jmail.co.za"
We only have gmail,not jmail(that is totally out...jmail=junk mail)

another is, which country is za???
May i ask,no such thing rite?

Another loophole is,
"cash/grant Donation."
they said i had won, why used the word donation?
and also, when u normally see cash/(anything they want to put)
999/1000 if totally fake!

So watch out! These tips are good for emails!

Thinking that running a virtual machine is taking “too”much space?Or they open in a browser only?Wait no more!Get your total simutation at www.flyakiteosx.com and download the “.zip” file.Unzip it,and install,it will create a restore point(please check the box to create one) just in case you do not like the style,then it will install.Reboot your computer and it turns into a virtual mac right in front of your eyes!If you have no good eyesight,you may think that it is mac!(I personally had that shock)Because when you go : ie then go about ie,it would show ie for mac 5.1(it is extinct for now...).It comes with a Tiger system settings,which is million miles of difference from control panel(which will still be there)
and also have the mac dock bar ,also,it comes with the mac os x 10.2's aqua theme.(wallpaper too)

tips and tricks(day one)

2008-10-09T15:59:00.005+08:00

internet :
Here's how you can tweak a few settings for zippier internet speeds.

1.say no to reserve bandwidth

By default, a win xp computer sets asides 20% of band width for the os.
to undo: go run,type "gpedit.msc"
they will show group policy.
click computer config.
then,admin temp
then,network
then,Qos packet scheduler
right click on limit reservable
and select bandwidth(properties)
click enable
then put the reserve to 0%
then apply.
more?
www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
and run the tcp(dont need install!!)
drag the slider to meet your speed(it is just above )
next,select optimal settings.
then apply.
make sure that backup's box is checked.
then click ok!
rox the net!!!

new age oracle middleware..

Redwood Shores, Calif. 01-JUL-2008 10:15 AM

In a live webcast attended by partners and customers from around the world, Oracle President Charles Phillips and Oracle Fusion Middleware Senior Vice President Thomas Kurian outlined Oracle's middleware strategy, which combines the best products from BEA and Oracle Fusion Middleware and provides continuity and investment protection for both customer bases.
Oracle is #1 in middleware. Oracle's open, standards-based offerings make it the leader in modern middleware.
Oracle plans to deliver increased functionality and capabilities across its broadened portfolio of products.
The company unveiled plans for the strategic BEA and Oracle Fusion Middleware products - including plans for Application Server, Tuxedo, BPM, WebCenter, SOA, Development Tools. (For more information and a complete product list please visit: www.oracle.com/goto/july1.)
Oracle also plans to preserve and expand the partner ecosystem - including System Integrators, Independent Software Vendors, Value-Added Distributors and Value-Added Resellers - to help ease the deployment of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

"Oracle is number one in middleware," said Oracle President Charles Philips. "The addition of BEA products to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Suite will accelerate innovation in our product offerings, and help our customers strategically implement middleware to more easily build, deploy, and manage applications in a secure environment."
"As a market leader in SOA implementation, Accenture has had extensive experience and success with both the Oracle and BEA middleware products. By combining leading products and technologies, Oracle has created an Oracle Fusion Middleware road map that is consistent with Accenture's assessment of how a converged product set would best benefit our clients. What's more, the convergence of the two products will increase the momentum of the solutions we develop at the Accenture Innovation Centers for Oracle, and provide a strong SOA platform for our clients," said Paul Daugherty, Accenture's chief technology architect.
"The integration of the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack and the BEA product family combined with Oracle's standards-based platform offers the potential of a compelling foundation for building solutions to fit the complex and varied collaborations between people, software and machines in today's hospital and healthcare environments," said Rhett Alden, Senior Architect, GE Healthcare IT.
"Adopting SOA is a way to improve business performance. The combined Oracle & BEA middleware product direction provides greater opportunity to execute an effective SOA strategy and deployment that can help lower costs, increase agility and mitigate risks. HP will continue to leverage our consulting expertise in both Oracle and BEA products to help our joint customers accelerate SOA adoption and drive increased business value," said John McCain, senior vice president and general manager, Consulting and Integration, HP.

"Safe Harbor" Statement: Statements in this press release relating to Oracle's future plans and prospects are "forward-looking statements" and are subject to material risks and uncertainties. Many factors could affect our current expectations and our actual results, and could cause actual results to differ materially. We presently consider the following to be among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations: (1) Economic, political and market conditions could adversely affect our revenue growth and profitability through reductions in IT budgets and expenditures. (2) We may fail to achieve our financial forecasts due to such factors as delays or size reductions in transactions, fewer large transactions in a particular quarter, unanticipated fluctuations in currency exchange rates, delays in delivery of new products or releases, or a decline in our renewal rates for software license updates and product support. (3) We cannot assure market acceptance of new products or services or new versions of existing or acquired products or services. (4) We have an active acquisition program and our acquisitions may not be successful, may involve unanticipated costs or other integration issues, or may disrupt our existing operations. (5) Periodic changes to our pricing model and sales organization could temporarily disrupt operations and cause a decline or delay in sales. (6) Intense competitive forces demand rapid technological advances and frequent new product introductions, and could require us to reduce prices or cause us to lose customers. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business is contained in our SEC filings, including our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, particularly under the heading "Risk Factors." Copies of these filings are available online from the SEC or by contacting Oracle Corporation's Investor Relations Department at (650) 506-4073 or by clicking on SEC Filings on Oracle's Investor Relations website at http://www.oracle.com/investor.

         foreign currency rate fluctuations.  To present this information,
         current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting
         in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into
         United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect on May 31,

         the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.
         The United States dollar weakened relative to major international
         currencies in the three months ended May 31, 2008 compared with the
         corresponding prior year period, contributing 6 percentage points of
         revenue, 4 percentage points of operating expense and 10 percentage
         points of operating income growth.

    (1) We compare the percent change in the results from one period to
         another period using constant currency disclosure. We present
         constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing
         how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of
         foreign currency rate fluctuations.  To present this information,
         current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting
         in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into
         United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect on May 31,
         2007, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year, rather than
         the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.
         The United States dollar weakened relative to major international
         currencies in the year ended May 31, 2008 compared with the
         corresponding prior year period, contributing 6 percentage points of
         revenue, 4 percentage points of operating expense and 9 percentage
         points of operating income growth.
    (2)  Acquisition related and other expenses for the year ended May 31,
         2008 include a gain on property sale of $57 million. Acquisition
         related and other expenses for the year ended May 31, 2007 include a
         benefit of $52 million related to the settlement of a pre-
         acquisition lawsuit against PeopleSoft, Inc. Please see Appendix A

    (1)  To supplement our statements of cash flows presented on a GAAP
         basis, we use non-GAAP measures of cash flows on a trailing 4-
         quarter basis to analyze cash flow generated from operations. We
         believe free cash flow is also useful as one of the bases for
         comparing our performance with our competitors. The presentation of
         non-GAAP free cash flow is not meant to be considered in isolation
         or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our
         performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating
         activities as a measure of liquidity.
    (2)  Represents capital expenditures as reported in cash flows from
         investing activities on our cash flow statements presented in
         accordance with GAAP.

   APPENDIX A

                             ORACLE CORPORATION
                       FISCAL 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS

this is buck earning for oracle man....
                      EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures indicated in the tables, which exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to acquisitions, as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non- GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects:

-- Support deferred revenue: Business combination accounting rules require us to account for the fair value of support contracts assumed in connection with our acquisitions. Because these are typically one-year contracts, our GAAP revenues for the one year period subsequent to our acquisition of a business do not reflect the full amount of software license updates and product support revenues on assumed support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired entity. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of such revenues. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business because we have historically experienced high renewal rates on support contracts, although we cannot be certain that customers will renew these contracts.

-- Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, and we believe such compensation contributed to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believe it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.

-- Amortization of intangible assets expenses: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangibles expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Amortization of intangible assets expenses is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well. Amortization expenses will recur in future periods.

-- Acquisition related and other expenses, and restructuring expenses: We incurred significant expenses in connection with our acquisitions and also incurred certain other operating expenses or income, which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. Acquisition related and other expenses primarily consist of in-process research and development expenses, personnel related costs for transitional employees, stock-based compensation expenses (in addition to the stock-based compensation expenses described above), integration related professional services, certain business combination contingency adjustments after the purchase price allocation period has ended, and certain other operating expenses or income, net. Substantially all of the stock-based compensation expenses included in acquisition related and other expenses primarily resulted from unvested options assumed in acquisitions whose vesting was fully accelerated upon termination of the employees pursuant to the original terms of those options. Restructuring expenses consist of Oracle employee severance and other exit costs. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effect of these items on our total operating expenses. Although acquisition related expenses and restructuring expenses are not recurring with respect to past acquisitions, we will incur these expenses in connection with any future acquisitions.

For the year ended May 31, 2008, acquisition related and other expenses include a gain on property sale of $57 million. For the year ended May 31, 2007, acquisition related and other expenses included a $52 million benefit related to the settlement of a lawsuit filed against PeopleSoft, Inc. on behalf of the U.S. government. This lawsuit was filed in October 2003, prior to our acquisition of PeopleSoft and represented a pre-acquisition contingency that we identified and assumed in connection with our acquisition of PeopleSoft. In October 2006, we agreed to pay the U.S. government $98 million to settle this lawsuit. Since the purchase price allocation period for PeopleSoft ended in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the favorable difference of $52 million between the estimated exposure recorded for this lawsuit during the purchase price allocation period and the actual settlement amount has been included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2007 as a component of acquisition related and other expenses.

the revolution of redhats

Virtualization, the open source way

As IT costs grow and budgets shrink, agile businesses turn to virtualization to make up the difference.

The same development and licensing practices that have improved the enterprise ecosystem and allowed deployments at a fraction of the cost of proprietary engagements are now turning to focus on virtualization technology.

Red Hat's policy of openness, transparency, and collaboration will allow customers even greater freedom of choice in the virtualization space. Projects will no longer be restrained by hardware availability, or even OS support. And, even better, Red Hat offers features that improve the security of virtualized environments and ease the pain of managing and hosting multiple systems or environments. Find out more about today's virtualization opportunities and tomorrow's possibilities.

the ans is reproduced here:

The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a looming hunger crisis in poor countries and a looming energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years, and oil prices have more than tripled since the start of 2004. These food-price increases combined with soaring energy costs will slow if notstop economic growth in many parts of the world and will evenundermine political stability, as evidenced by the protest riots that have erupted in places like Haiti, Bangladesh and Burkina Faso. Practical solutions to these growing woes do exist, but we'll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.

The crisis has its roots in four interlinked trends. The first is the chronically low productivity of farmers in the poorest countries, caused by their inability to pay for seeds, fertilizers and irrigation. The second is the misguided policy in the U.S. and Europe of subsidizing the diversion of food crops to produce biofuels like corn-based ethanol. The third is climate change; take the recent droughts in Australia and Europe, which cut the global production of grain in 2005 and '06. The fourth is the growing global demand for food and feed grains brought on by swelling populations and incomes. In short, rising demand has hit a limited supply, with the poor taking the hardest blow.

So, what should be done? Here are three steps to ease the current crisis and avert the potential for a global disaster. The first is to scale-up the dramatic success of Malawi, a famine-prone country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and high-yield seeds. Malawi's harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion in all. Such a fund could fight hunger as effectively as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria is controlling those diseases.

Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of subsidizing the conversion of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed subsidy of 51¢ per gal. of ethanol to divert corn from the food and feed-grain supply. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods--tree crops (like palm oil), grasses and wood products--but there's no case for doling out subsidies to put the world's dinner into the gas tank.

Third, we urgently need to weatherproof the world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond--which collects rainwater to be used for emergency irrigation in a dry spell--can make the difference between a bountiful crop and a famine. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.

What is true for food will be true for energy, water and other increasingly scarce resources. We can combat these problems--as long as we act rapidly. New energy sources like solar thermal power and new energy-saving technologies like plug-in hybrid automobiles can be developed and mobilized within a few years. Environmentally sound fish-farming can relieve pressures on the oceans. The food crisis provides not only a warning but also an opportunity. We need to invest vastly more in sustainable development in order to achieve true global security and economic growth.

SAN FRANSISCO : Yahoo on Thursday is tripling the size of its globally-popular free online email service by adding two new domains as options to "yahoo.com" addresses.

The introduction of "ymail.com" and "rocketmail.com" as Yahoo email address options comes as the pioneering Internet firm strives to convince investors it is on a path to reclaim faded glory and eroded revenues.

Yahoo Mail is the most popular web-_base_d email in the world. Its profitable ad-supported service has approximately 266 million users, according to industry statistics.

Adding new domains is intended to let users who have outgrown or never really liked their yahoo.com email addresses to have chances at better choices.

"We recognise that people want an email address that reflects who they are," Yahoo Mail vice president John Kremer told AFP.

"We have a lot of user IDs out there and it is pretty crowded. We want to remedy that and make sure users get the ID they want."

Free email addresses are typically assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning newcomers choosing yahoo.com IDs are unlikely to get their names or other prime choices when signing up.

A Harris Interactive study commissioned by Yahoo concluded that 70 percent of adults using the Internet would select an email address that includes all or part of their names.

Yahoo says the rocketmail and ymail choices are meant to give another chance to email users saddled with addresses such as "CutiePie4ever80" or "Mary2455."

"A happy user is one that stays around and is a Yahoo user for life," Kremer said.

"If you have an email address that is your name at ymail, that becomes part of your identity."

Yahoo expects users to readily recognise "ymail" because it is used for a version of the email customized for mobile devices.

Rocketmail has a "hip retro feel" because it is a resurrected email address that belonged to a company Yahoo bought in 1997, according to Kremer.

"This adds millions and millions of new Yahoo accounts out there for users," Kremer said. “Effectively, we are tripling the size of the Yahoo name space."

If there is a "land rush" that results in the new domains being stripped of ID choices, Yahoo may establish new domains _base_d on the names of some of its other online properties, according to Kremer.

Yahoo began relentlessly rolling out alliances, innovations and improved Internet services after Microsoft went public with a takeover bid in February.

The pace of announcements remains unabated as Yahoo faces a possible rebellion by stockholders upset that it failed to close a deal with Microsoft, which raised its bid to nearly 50 billion dollars before walking away.

Billionaire corporate raider Carl Icahn has gobbled up more than four percent of Yahoo's stock and is leading a campaign to oust all 10 members of Yahoo's board at an annual shareholders meeting set for August 1.

Icahn accuses the board members of bungling a deal with Microsoft. Yahoo executives are eager to convince stockholders that the California firm is being managed with their best interests at heart.

IDC: Linux PC sales to hit $10 billion in 2008
Sales of new and used PCs running the Linux operating system will reach $10 billion by 2008, market researcher IDC predicted Wednesday.
About 17 million Linux PCs will be sold that year, bringing the total installed _base_ to 42.6 million, according to the IDC study. And though Linux on PCs still likely will be dwarfed by Windows, IDC forecasts a bigger beachhead: Market share of new and used PCs running Linux is expected to grow from 3 percent in 2003 to 7 percent in 2008.
Much of the industry outside Microsoft is a fan of Linux on desktop and laptop computers. Among companies with Linux PC efforts are Red Hat, Novell, Sun Microsystems, Adobe Systems, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Intel.

ubuntu netbook's out!

Canonical Showcases Ubuntu Netbook Remix at Computex

Canonical Now Delivers for OEMs a Rapid Route to Market For Netbooks Powered by an Intel Atom Processor

Computex, Taiwan June 3, 2008: Canonical, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, today announced that it will be demonstrating a reworked desktop image of Ubuntu built specifically for a new category of portable Internet-centric devices – netbooks. These affordable, power-efficient, small screen devices, _base_d on the ground breaking low-power micro-architecture of the Intel® Atom™ processor, and Ubuntu allow consumers to enjoy email, instant messaging, Internet surfing and on-line access to photos, videos or music with an affordable, reliable device.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix is built to provide a superb user experience leveraging Ubuntu's reputation for delivering operating systems that 'just work' in the desktop environment. The remix is _base_d on the standard Ubuntu Desktop Edition but with a launcher that allows users to get on-line more quickly and have faster access to their favourite applications. Ubuntu Netbook Remix will enable device manufacturers to get to market rapidly with a compelling software solution on netbooks, as they have a standard user interface (UI) that is built on a widely used operating system underpinned by a globally recognised brand. Canonical is also working with ISVs to ensure that popular desktop applications are certified on Ubuntu, and will run on the Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

Canonical is already working with a number of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to deliver the software into the market on devices later in 2008. Demonstration versions will be available at Computex.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix leverages Moblin technologies optimized for the Intel Atom processor. Intel and Canonical are working to create a next generation computing experience across a new category of affordable Internet-centric, portable devices; including Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), netbooks, nettops and _embed_ded devices _base_d on Intel Atom processor technology. Canonical is a founding contributor to Moblin and will continue to work with Intel to ensure the best open source applications become available to users and OEMs through Moblin.

"Our goal is to deliver a superb user experience while making it simple and cost-effective for device manufacturers to be able to bring their devices to the consumer marketplace," explained Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu. "Ubuntu has in a very short period transformed the perception of the Linux desktop experience. Many more people will experience Linux for the first time through these devices so working with Canonical, using our UI and leveraging software from the Moblin project is the best way to ensure the netbook experience is a success."

"At Intel, we see netbooks as an opportunity to expand basic Internet usage throughout the world through simple and affordable devices for consumers," said Doug Fisher, vice president, Software and Solutions Group for Intel. "The combination of Ubuntu Netbook Remix with Moblin technologies optimized for the Intel Atom processor will deliver a good Internet and media experience on Intel-_base_d netbooks.”

Availability: OEMs looking to ship Ubuntu Netbook Remix should contact netbooks@canonical.com. More information on the product can be found here: www.canonical.com/netbooks

Novell Joins Microsoft Server Virtualization Validation Program, Runs Windows Server 2008 On SUSE Linux Enterprise

6/16/2008

By Chris Riedel
Novell announced Wednesday that it has joined Microsoft's Server Virtualization Validation Program. Novell's participation will allow customers to run Windows Server 2008 as a virtualized guest on top of Xen hypervisor in SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, with the ability to receive cooperative support from either company.

The Microsoft program, formally announced June 11, requires third-party virtualization solutions to pass a series of predefined technical tests before being validated by the company. Novell said it expects to complete the requirements by August of 2008.

"We continue to hear from customers that they want to run Windows Server 2008 as a virtualized guest on top of SUSE Linux Enterprise," said Carlos Montero-Luque, vice president of product management for Linux and Open Platform Solutions at Novell, in the June statement. "Novell is excited to extend the on-going technical collaboration efforts between Novell and Microsoft to the Server Virtualization Validation Program, which will give customers the performance, security and reliability that comes with running Windows Server 2008 as a virtual guest on SUSE Linux Enterprise."

As an early participant in the program, Novell helped Microsoft fine-tune many of the parameters of the Server Virtualization Validation Program, including helping the company define the required technical tests for participation. Currently, SUSE Linux Enterprise is the only Xen hypervisor on which Microsoft will provide full support for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003 running as a virtual guest.
