DOS (Denial of Service) attack.

A DOS — stands for denial of service — attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. One common method of doing so is saturating/overloading the machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond does slowly. Such attacks usually lead to a server overload.

A few years ago, when Pakistan blocked FB, People seized the opportunity and launched their own social networking sites, and started promoting and advertising them. One of them was pakfacebook, the most popular one.

Well, what happened was that these FB addicts started signing up like anything, as a result of which, most of the sites hung, and wont respond properly.

In general terms, DOS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer to reset, or consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service, or obstructing the comm. media so that it cant communicate properly.

Windows RT and Windows 8 PRO

The first release of Microsoft’s Suface Tablet, cost about $499, comes with Pre-installed Windows RT. It is (i assure you) REAL windows, but only just; its more like a Mobile OS. Windows RT has the same interface as the one you get in windows 8 pro, and it fully supports all the windows 8 apps.

But what it does lack, is the support for Desktop apps, Means, you wont get the desktop interface in it, nor will the OS support programs that were designed for previous versions of windows(the desktop ones.) While Windows 8 Pro supports both. Another difference between the two tablets is that the RT one runs on an ARM Processor while the other one uses Intel.

So, the main difference between the two is that Windows RT supports only METRO apps, while Windows 8 PRO supports METRO+DESKTOP apps, and runs on a comparatively better processor.

The CASIO pb100.

The CASIO pb100 is an old computer or rather a PROGRAMMABLE CALCULATOR based on BASIC. Supports upto 1kb RAM and requires 2 CR-2032 lithium batteries which are used both as a power source and MEMORY.

It also suppports a tiny Dot Matrix Printer, and a cassette tape interface which when connected to a tape recorder, saves programs on a tape in the form of Audio tones.

Download stuff using torrents

Ever wondered How people download large Movies and games?
The answer is quite simple,
They use torrents.

If you know what they are, and how they are used,
then this post is useless for you,

But if you dont,

then carry on!
Torrents are the data of the target file you need to download. These files contain nothing but the data about the locations of different pieces of the file, available on the web. THis also gives them resume capability, because they download the file bit by bit. I know this sounds strange and confusing, but the method is quite simple.
First of all, to download using torrents, you need a Bit torrent Client. I’d personally recommend Vuze(http://www.vuze.com/download/), or uTorrent ( http://www.utorrent.com/).
A bit torrent client is a TORRENT DOWNLOAD MANAGER. So, once you got one, the method is quite simple.
Just go to a torrent website,(there are dozens of them, However, the best one is Isohunt.) and search for the desired content. Choose a torrent and download it. (downloading torrents takes less than a second.) Run the torrent with ur torrent software. Select target folder for the download and proceed.
Your download has started.

Use a single SQL Database for multiple WordPress installations

Most people experience problems when trying to use a single SQL database for multiple WP installations. Its not as difficult as it seems to be. Start with uploading files, and carry on normally until you reach the install.php part.

At the bottom would be an input box labelled Table Prefix. By default, the value would be WP (which is most likely used for your previous installation.) So just replace it with something else, and continue. That’s it.

TeamViewer

Teamviewer is a Remote desktop Utility, which allows you remotely access another PC on the network. When you run teamviewer, you are assigned with an ID and a password(which difffers in every session\run.) 

Download.

So, here’s the whole procedure. One person starts teamviewer and tells his ID and password to the other who inputs his ID into this input box that says “Partner ID,” and clicks “Connect to Partner,” On which he is prompted for a password and in return, he gains access to the First person’s PC.
