2 Minute Challenge - Remove Linux Distribution from a Dual Boot PC!!

2013-06-09T08:25:00.003+05:30

These are the quickest steps to remove linux distribution installed alongside Windows 7 in your PC:

Before Removing Linux:

Make sure that you have a Bootable Disc of Windows 7 OS. You shall also use your Pendrive to make Windows 7 Bootable by using a software called Win2Flash.
The other alternative is to use the option "Create a System Repair Disc" from Windows 7. It creates the bootable disc with the exact content that is needed here. But the point to note here is, you cannot use a USB Flash Drive for this!

Removing Linux:

Right Click My Computer -> Manage.
Click "Disk Management" and you'll see the partitions listed like this:
You may note the unnamed partitions which are nothing but the linux distributions.
Right Click both of them and just select "Delete Partitions" and your linux partitions are gone.

After Removing Linux:

You need to restart here and you'll see a console window called "GRUB Rescue".
Insert your Bootable Disc / System Repair Disc and select "Repair your computer".
In the list of System Recovery Options, select "Command Prompt" and type the following command: 'bootrec.exe /fixmbr' (Quotes for clarity and MBR stands for Master Boot Record)
Remove the Bootable disc and restart. Linux is now gone leaving Windows unaffected!

Retrieving files from a 'Shortcut Virus infected' USB Flash Drive

2012-01-15T09:33:00.001+05:30

SHORTCUT VIRUS (.lnk)

To tell about this virus, it converts all the folders present in a USB Flash Drive into '.lnk' file thus making it unusable though it contains files and occupies memory.
Installing an antivirus program and updating it periodically is best advised to be away from viruses forever.
However, if the Tip 2 is not possible, be aware that you turn off 'Autoplay' options for USB Drives.
Next caution is not to install any unknown .exe files (that seems to be a virus) that are present in your USB Drive to ensure that a virus doesn't affect your PC. (This happens mostly in a haste as most of the viruses takes the name of the existing folders).

Here I present a simple way to retrieve files from your USB Flash Drive when it is infected by 'Shortcut.lnk' virus:

Go to search box, select the drive location of your USB Drive.
Search for "*.*".
This command will list out each and every file present in your USB Drive.
The logic behind this is, the shortcut virus converts only the folders into .lnk files. Hence, individual files are left unaffected.
Copy those files into your Local Drive and then Format your USB Drive.

Thus you retrieve files from it cautiously without letting the virus infect your system.

Setup a LAN of laptops without using Ethernet Cables.

2011-12-16T17:29:00.003+05:30

A big HI fellas.. After a long time.!

I've seen certain gang of my friends who are addicted to gaming., that too who play in a network. Obviously, they need to spend for buying Hubs(or switches) and Ethernet cables of required numbers and lengths.

Rather, I suggest you an alternative method which may be a boon for many people, especially the game addicts :)

(Note: This post refers to Windows 7. XP Users, try similar one in "Control Panel -> Network Connections")

First of all, turn on the wi-fi in your laptop(Also possible if "Wi-Fi Dongle" is present in your PC".
Open "Network and Sharing Center" from Control Panel.
Then, click "Setup a New Connection or Network" button.
After that, select "Setup a wireless ad hoc network".
Click "Next" twice.
In the next dialog box:
- Give a name for your network
- Select "WPA2-Personal Encryption type" as it is the most secure.
- Give a password and Check the "Hide Characters" and "Save this network" Checkboxes.
Click "Next" and you are done creating the "Wireless LAN Profile".
When you click "Connect" on the Ad hoc profile you just created, your Laptop (The one in which the profile was created) starts to act as "Wireless Hub" and shows "Waiting for users" status message.
Only after the above step, other Laptops will detect your wireless network profile. If connected, you can set up a Local Area Network in a single click in each client laptop :-)

Viewer : Is that really possible?
Author : May be!
Viewer : Then what are you going to say in this article?
Author : It is not merely posting on pages. Small trick with HTML and Blogger Labels.
Viewer : I don't think this is gonna workout! Am Curious to read more!
Author : Go Ahead:

First of all, just categorize each post, with the help of labels.
Delete the pages gadget from the layout section.
Now, Add a gadget "HTML/Javascript
Copy the following code and paste it in the HTML gadget.

<ul>

<li> <a href="URL">Page Name</a> </li>

</ul>

In this code, change 'URL' with the link of a label (say Krish-d-CSE) and change the page name to the labels name (Say KDC).
Save it and drag the saved widget such that it occupies the place of pages gadget.
Save arrangement. You would get posts under each category in live page.

Few etiquette to be followed by a Good Programmer

2011-10-06T12:06:00.041+05:30

There are 3 important formatting options to be followed in order to be a good programmer:

Using Comments:

Give comment lines then and there in your program (possibly for functions) so that a third person viewing your program will feel at his ease to understand it when he goes through it.

Saving the program with proper file name:
              Following this tip will be most needed for searching the correct program when it is in a bunch of several programs, say when it is in a folder like ‘bin’.

Indentation:

Indentation is nothing but giving appropriate spaces for separate modules or blocks in your piece of code. Only then, you will feel easy to have a glance on it. In simple words, it improves the readability of your program. See the illustration below.

Out of the above 3 tips, in case you don’t follow the first two, only the third person will feel difficult to rad your program. But skipping the third step, you, the programmer yourself will feel tough to go through. :-)

Hide your files and folders using Command Prompt

2011-10-05T11:51:00.004+05:30

You may wonder, while “Tools->Folder Options->Do not show hidden files and folders” option is well enough to hide files and folders, why should we opt Cmd method which will be quite tricky to do the same operation. Try this out and you will feel the difference. Comment on this post in case you find the advantage of using Command Prompt for this operation.

Follow the steps to hide files and folders using Command Prompt:

Run Command Prompt.
Go to the location where the file to be hidden resides, using the command ‘cd destination’.
Then use: ‘attrib +s +h file_name.extention’ to hide the corresponding file.
Your file is now hidden.
Try to know the advantage of using cmd.
To unhide the same file, use: ‘attrib -s -h file_name.extention’.

Set Greeting Text to your Windows

2011-10-01T12:14:00.000+05:30

Follow these steps to set a catchy "logon text" to your Windows:

Go to Registry Editor.
Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Go to SOFTWARE → Microsoft → Windows NT → Current Version.
Open the folder "Winlogon".
Edit the key values "LegalNoticeCaption" and "LegalNoticeText" as you wish.
Now, your logon text is ready.!

C++ Program to find the Endian nature of a processor

2011-07-02T13:19:00.001+05:30

Before going to the progaram,
what is endian nature?

There are two kinds of endian nature... One is li'l edian and the other is big endian...

This pic could illustrate you:

Now, this is my own way of finding the endian nature:

#include
#include
#include
void main()
{
   clrscr();
   int a[10],*b[10];
   for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
   {
      a[i]=i+1;
      b[i]=&a[i];
      cout<<"\na["<<<"]:"<
      cout<<"\t"<<"is stored in:\t"<
   }
   getch();
}

Simply saying, if the character array stores ur string in the same order as you give, then the processor is big endian. Else if it stores in the reverse order, its little endian. :-)

Most of you people use Intel Mother borads.. Hence, you will find the result as little endian :-)

Shutdown trick

2011-06-16T21:00:00.005+05:30

Right Click on your desktop → New → Shortcut.
Type shutdown -s -t xx -c "". Give any number in the place of xx to specify the time limit in seconds(say 60 for a minute)
Click Next.
Click Finish.
Clicking on that shortcut shut downs the computer after the specified time by displaying a warning message

Now you can use it for these purposes:

Rename it as "My Computer" or "Mozilla Firefox" and change its icon to the corresponding icon. Place it in the desktop and the illegal users may be cheated in case they click this shortcut.Heheh :) lol...
Without specifying any time, use it as one click shutdown button for yourself. You can even access this button any time by assigning an hot key.

Why am I asked to Verify A Text I See below in many websites?

2011-06-01T15:10:00.003+05:30

Ooooof! You may wonder isn't there any specific name to mention those verification texts rather giving such a long Title to this post.! The answer is of course YES. It is abbreviated as CAPTCHA.

What is a CAPTCHA?

It is the abbreviation of 'Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart'. This is a kinda 'Human Interaction Proof' (HIP). Hope you easily remember what am I talking about. See the pictures down :

Courtesy: www.solona.net

Coutesy: www.technorrhexis.com

What? Is this a test to distinguish Humans and Computers? Why do we need this test?

This is often called as Turing Test, named after the man - the father of modern computing, Sir Alan Turing. He was the one who researched about the level of computer capabilities.

CAPTCHA is nothing but a warped image which contains a words(or words) which is bent and folded. The result of the test is if it could be read and typed correctly, it must be a human. Else, a computer(malware).

CAPTCHA is used mainly to avoid mal wares accessing a website. Some of the situations explaining the need of the CAPTCHA are as below:

Who uses CAPTCHA?

Registration Forms of Websites which provides free e-mail servicesFor Example, Websites like gmail and yahoo mail use CAPTCHAs to prevent spammers from using malwares to generate hundreds of spam mail accounts.
Ticket BrokersCAPTCHA applications help ticket scalpers who book bulk tickets without limit at once it is available in the web and stock it. When demand increases, they sell it in a price higher than its original value.
Websites containing Interactive Comment Boxes(like blogger)
CAPTCHA prevents bots posting rude comments about administrator automatically.

How CAPTCHA works?

One of the above victims are called as Administrators of CAPTCHA. The software used to create a CAPTCHA is known as 'reCAPTCHA'. First, the administrator of the CAPTCHA scans a book digitally using reCAPTCHA. It compares the text entered by the user(seeing the image) and verifies it with the original one. If it matches, the site confirms that the user is not a computer. In order to increase complication, the warped text image is blended with randomly generated background images. For users who are visually impaired, and alternative AUDIO CAPTCHA is used.

Amazing Trick..!

2011-05-14T07:45:00.002+05:30

Wah!

This was an accidentally discovered trick. Till this was found, I never thought speeding up my internet connection was so simple.

If you are using a broadband internet connection with landline, please go ahead:

Usually there will be four LEDs in your Modem:

Power
LAN
Link
Data

Your connection will be strong if Link LED is static and Data LED is blinking(which means that modem is sending/receiving data from www).

BSNL users may often face this problem of losing the connection(Link LED blinks or Data LED is off ,sometimes glow red). People usually start to worry for this and complaint to customer care often. This is unnecessary.

To clear up the traffic and to get back strong connection, just give a full ring to any number from your land line. :p I bet you will regain your connection back.

NOTE : This is similar to giving missed call from your mobile phone if an SMS did not get delivered...Yet to find the technical reason for this behavior and will post at once it is found....

Enjoy continuous browsing...

Make your own torrent and share:

Instead of trying to attach a large amount of non-private data(such as videos and e-books) in mails, you can use torrents to make it available for the receiver to download. Here we go:

In the u torrent downloader, go to FileàCreate New Torrent(Ctrl+N).
Browse for the target file or folder.
You can even create a private torrent by checking the Private Torrent Check Box.
Press Create and Save as and save your torrent file.
Now upload the torrent file in one of the torrent websites.
It will generate a link for your torrent file. Send it to the person to whom you want to send the data.
Note: You‘ve to be online, sharing the torrent till you create one seed.

How to perform a torrent download?

U Torrent(A tracker application)

First of all you need to download a torrent tracker application such as ‘U torrent downloader’ and 'Bit Torrent'.
Next, you must click for a torrent website like www.btjunkie.org or www.torrentz.com. Caution: Most of the torrent websites contain porn content and hence visit only trusted websites as ones mentioned above.
In the torrent search engine, type the name of the file you are looking for (can be the names of softwares, audio, video,…) and press Go.
The websites provide you a list of available torrents.
Download one of the torrent files. A torrent file is just a metadata(which contains info about the data to be downloaded but not the actual data and is usually very small in size, say some KBs).
Open that torrent file with U torrent downloader and thus your file starts downloading.

Online Purchase - Play behind the scenes

2011-05-04T10:52:00.004+05:30

Geeks, I always used to wonder how does the electronic payments meet the real money value. Say, if I pay Rs. 1000/- online using my credit/debit card number to IRCTC towards train ticket booking, without the actual transfer of paper money, how do they convert it to the real money value instantly?

Here is the play behind the scenes:

Here comes 3 parties in this deal: The Customer, The Store and The Bank. There are 5 actions in this process:

PAY : This is the action done by the customer when he urges to purchase something online. He should own a credit/debit card in order to purchase online.

When the customer hits this action, the bank offers him an electronic file in his name called 'Money file' which is transferred to The Store.
REDEEM: Upon receiving the money file, The Store needs to verify if the received money file is not forged. Hence, store does an action called 'REDEEM'. That is, the store transfers the received money file to the bank and requests to redeem(convert) the money file in the name of the store itself.

In case it is found that the money file is fraudulent, the store will not send the product to the customer.
TRANSFER: When the store requests to redeem, the bank converts the money file in the name of the store and TRANSFERS it to the store's account.
SHIP: Only after the store finds the received amount is real and it is redeemed back to their account, they ship the product to the customer.
CANCEL: Once after paying the money, the customer may change his decision and attempt to cancel the payment. Note that there will be proper protocols in this process such that the customer cannot cancel payment after the shipping action is done by the store.

Some important issues to be noted:

There will be some powerful encryption policies followed by the bank to ensure that the customer could not use the same money file twice to purchase two different products.
The money file transferred across in this trade contains encrypted bits of data, which will be an illogical jibber-jabber if it is caught in the wrong hands who may tend to steal that money.

Some Common Doubts in JAVA

2011-05-03T10:11:00.005+05:30

Why is Java called a completely Object Oriented Language?

Unlike other earlier OOP languages like C++, it is impossible to create a program without defining a class in Java. Hence, it is called as completely Objec Oriented Language.

Why is the main() method definition always public static?

To unlock this answer, you must know the use of the keywords 'public' and 'static' in Java.

The 'public' Keyword:

The keyword 'public' is used when we want a method of a class to be accessed by any other class or code in any part of the program. Hence, as we know that main() method should be given open access to the codes in any part of the program, it is given public access.

The 'static' Keyword:

The keyword 'static' can be used before both variable and method instances of a class.

The situations where we need to use a class before defining its objects are the cases where we define a method to be static.

Therefore, it is clear that the main() method should always be declared static as we need to use the main class without creating its object instances.

The Torrent Truth

2011-04-25T16:00:00.005+05:30

Friends, Lets deal a bit technical now.

“Taa…renn…nt”. I could feel you scratching your heads while your mind voice says, “I‘ve heard this somewhere…”. The hard fact to digest is torrent is used by lots of people but only few minds to know the pearl inside the oyster. Here is an overview of the concept behind the torrent.

Before that, let’s be clear about the process of downloading from the internet. Basically, the file you download is hosted by a web server in the World Wide Web. Such a network is called as Server-based network. If you attempt to download, then you become a client. The download speed depends upon the bandwidth of the server. If there are simultaneous downloads by several clients, then the server bandwidth is shared and the speed of the download lessens.

This obstruction was cleverly tackled by Bram Cohen, who is the inventor of the torrent concept.

What is the concept behind torrents?

Simultaneous download and upload of a file is that all about torrents. Torrent is kind of Peer-to-Peer(P2P) network. Most of the earlier P2P networks met their ends because they did not compel the peers to upload the file being downloaded.

A torrent actually breaks the file into a number of pieces called ‘chunks’. Not necessarily sequentially, number of persons downloads different pieces of files. When a person is downloading a piece of file using torrents, he actually downloads it from various users who are downloading

(or already downloaded) the same piece of file.

The people who are still downloading a file are called as ‘peers’(also called as leeches).While downloading, a peer simultaneously uploads that file to make it available for download to other peers. Instead of sharing server’s band width, torrent concept makes the download process faster as all the peers’ system acts as an individual server itself.

The one who have downloaded all the pieces of a file and if he still stays online, he is called as a ‘seed’. Then, a seed starts uploading parts of files for the others who are all still peers. This process is called seeding and it is generally a good etiquette to be a seed so that you can be courteous to the peers.

The current status of the seeds and the peers connected to the network is monitored by an application called as the ‘tracker’. It constantly updates the list of peers and seeds.

Sha re Ratio:

Share ratio is simply the amount of data uploaded to the amount of data downloaded in the current session. The huge mis-belief is that those peers who has a share ratio of 1(which means the amount of data uploaded is equal to that of the downloaded) and above are given preference by the torrent network to render them faster downloads. This is false just because downloading and uploading are two different independent processes which does not affect each other’s speeds. Please note, Share Ratio is just a number that is displayed for your convenience and it doesn’t explicitly affect any aspect of client at all.

Happy Torrent Journey...!
