Siapa 08666 Sebenarnya

noreply@blogger.com (Raimon) — Sun, 11 May 2008 14:54:00 +0000

Banyak yang bahas tentang Santet via SMS, namun masalah yang berkembang di masyarakat sudah menyimpang jauh dikarenakan ketidatahuan tentang technology komunikasi yang berkembang pesat. Dengan ketidakjelasan informasi yang diterima masyarakat, menyebabkan isu-isu yang berkembang menjadikan bahan pembicaraan bahkan menjadi satu momok yang menakutkan.

Berikut ini saya kutip sebuah informasi dari ads.easyinfo.co.za tentang nomor 08666 yang mungkin bisa kita terima dengan akal, karena memang inilah yang sebenarnya!

BTS (Business Technology Solutions)
BTS is the perfect, simplest, fastest and cheapest way for small to medium businesses to handle day � to day enquiries.
BTS is comes in the form of a 0866 number. The back-end of the 08666 number serves as an information service where customers\clients phone in and listen to what ever information pertaining to your business. The BTS line is configured in a tree-like structure i.e. For information 1 �press 1�, for information 2 �press 2� and so forth.
There are no limits to the number of options you can have, allowing you to give as much information as you want.
The BTS line can be linked to your Telkom landline!!! This allows your business to have 1 number for life!!! The 08666 number is linked to a Telkom landline number i.e. (011) 258 8858. when a person dials the 08666 number the phone attached to (011) 258 8858 rings. People can still use the Telkom number with no problems. The magic comes in when you move premises, instead of giving out your new telephone number (Telkom landline) to customers, all you need to do is give us a call, and we will link your new Telkom number to your existing 0866 number. This way, your customers will always be able to keep in touch, no matter where you move to.

Dengan membaca atikel diatas, setidaknya kita dapat kejelasan siapa pemilik dari 08666 dan nomor-nomor yang disinyalir milik dukun santet. Mungkin sebaiknya media massa yang harus menyampaikan hal ini kepada masyarakat dan pemerintah juga ikut bergerak untuk meredam isu-isu yang bisa menyesatkan bagi masyarakat kita.

Hanya dengan senyuman saya melihat para bloger yang memampangkan tulisaanya tentang SMS setan tersebut, entah siblogger tidak mengerti, atau juga terlalu awam oleh informasi dan technologi komunikasi, tapi kok bisa bikin blog and terkoneksi dengan internet??? aneh....

Silahkan sebarkan tulisan saya ini, saya tidak tidak keberatan, karena sebenarnya masyarakat butuh informasi yang lebih terbuka *_^

Windows XP Service Pack 3

noreply@blogger.com (Raimon) — Sat, 10 May 2008 13:31:00 +0000

Sebagian dari kita mungkin masih penasaran dengan kelebihan Windows XP service pack 3

yang di rilis microsoft beberapa minggu lalu. Peluncurannya dijadwalkan akan tersedia untuk publik tanggal 29 April 2008 ini melalui Windows update setelah sebelumnya hanya tersedia untuk para pabrikan komputer. Namun karena ada masalah kompabilitas, Microsoft menunda peluncurannya. Menjelang beberapa hari peluncurannya, Microsoft menemukan masalah kompabilitas antara XP service pack dengan Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS), sebuah sistem supply-chain untuk retailer kelas kecil dan menengah.

Dari hasil pencarian bersama paman google, saya menemukan beberapa link untuk download SP3 ini. Dari bebrapa blog yang saya temukan memberikan link download, namun tidak satupun yang memberikan hasil yang baik, semuanya mengarah pada update melalui situs microsoft dan windows update, hanya link http://www.softpedia.com yang menyediakan untuk downloadnya.

Nah bagi anda yang ingin download dan mencoba pacth baru ini, bisa anda kunjungi: http://www.softpedia.com. Dan bagi anda yang ingin langsung mendownload pada situs resmi microsoft sendiri, untuk link nya, silahkan click disini...!
Sedangkan bagi anda yang memiliki bandwidth terbatas, dapat download secara terpisah melalui link dibawah ini.
