Analysis by: Munisamy Anandan
Analysis of: [FPDI] 3M Film Realizes 3D Panel Viewable With Naked Eye | techon.nikkeibp. co.jp
Source: www.glgroup. com

Summary:: (1) 3D viewers prefer to view 3D images without wearing glasses, without paying high price, without sacrificing resolution and with option to change from 3D to 2D mode (2) Companies promoting 3D TV with glasses need to have a re-look at the unique technique of Sumitomo 3M Ltd that satisfies most of what consumers need in 3D TV. (3) The price penalty for Sumitomo 3M technique needs to be watched. There is a clear signal here for the domination of this novel 3M film in 3D TV application
Analysis:: 3D TV is a hot topic at every International Exhibit. This happened in IMID 2009, FPDI 2009, CEATEC 2009 and Display Taiwan 2009. This is going to happen in the upcoming CES show in Las vegas. Leading companies like LG Display, Samsung, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Panasonic, Sony Corp and AUO are vigorously pursing the introduction of 3D TV and some companies hope to achieve from the beginning of 2010. It is estimated that by 2013, shipments of 3D TV will reach 46 Million units. There are two versions of 3D display technology currently being demonstrated. One version employs lenticular sheet as a laminating film over the 2D displays. This has the disadvantage of losing resolution in addition to the limitation on viewing angular domains. The advantage is that the viewers need not have to wear special glasses and the display is not costly. The other version requires special glasses that will not sacrifice the resolution. Without glasses the display will go to the normal mode of 2D viewing. Some companies are attempting to get rid of the glasses and preserve the resolution by incorporating some changes in the structure internal to the display. But the display becomes costly. In addition the display can not be changed to 2D mode. Viewers would not like to wear glasses but would not tend to accept any compromise in performance. Viewers also would not pay high price. It is in this respect Sumitomo 3M Ltd company is unique in that they employ a film with a novel technique of driving double-edge- lit backlight which gives the advantage of viewing 3D images without glasses and at the same time preserving the resolution with option to change from 3D to 2D mode. This technique will be a 'breakthrough' in 3D TV. 3M could be dominating in this film over the next 10 years as they did with 'prism sheet' for backlight. The mode of backlight driving in combination with the unique film can be proprietary for 3M to continue their domination. The price increase as a result of this film should be something to be watched. It should not be the same story as DBEF film which used to be costly.

Some of the things we don't know about dreams

noreply@blogger.com (Jeyanthan) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 03:15:05 PDT

Blind People Dream

Who become blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion. It is hard for a seeing person to imagine, but the body need for sleep is so strong that it is able to handle virtually all physical situations to make it happen.

You Forget 90% of your Dreams
Within 5 minutes of waking, half of your dream if forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone. The famous poet,Samuel Taylor Coleridge, woke one morning having had a fantastic dream (likely opium induced) - he put pen to paper and began to describe his vision in a dream in what has become one of English most famous poems: Kubla Khan. Part way through (54 lines in fact) he was interrupted by a Person from Porlock. Coleridge returned to his poem but could not remember the rest of his dream. The poem was never completed. Curiously, Robert Louis Stevenson came up with the story of Doctor Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde whilst he was dreaming.

You are paralyzed while you sleep
Believe it or not, your body is virtually paralyzed during your sleep - most likely to prevent your body from acting out aspects of your dreams. According to the Wikipedia article on dreaming, Glands begin to secrete a hormone that helps induce sleep and neurons send signals to the spinal cord which cause the body to relax and later become essentially paralyzed.

Everybody Dreams
Every human being dreams (except in cases of extreme psychological disorder) but men and women have different dreams and different physical reactions. Men tend to dream more about other men, while women tend to dream equally about men and women. In addition, both men and women experience sexually related physical reactions to their dreams regardless of whether the dream is sexual in nature; males experience erections and females experience increased vaginal blood flow.

Dreams Prevent Psychosis
In a recent sleep study, students who were awakened at the beginning of each dream, but still allowed their 8 hours of sleep, all experienced difficulty in concentration, irritability, hallucinations, and signs of psychosis after only 3 days. When finally allowed their REM sleep the studentÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s brains made up for lost time by greatly increasing the percentage of sleep spent in the REM stage

We Only Dream of What We Know
Our dreams are frequently full of strangers who play out certain parts - did you know that your mind is not inventing those faces - they are real faces of real people that you have seen during your life but may not know or remember? The evil killer in your latest dream may be the guy who pumped petrol in to your Dad car when you were just a little kid. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces through our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.

Not Everyone Dreams in Color
A full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining number dream in full color. People also tend to have common themes in dreams, which are situations relating to school, being chased, running slowly/in place, sexual experiences, falling, arriving too late, a person now alive being dead, teeth falling out, flying, failing an examination, or a car accident. It is unknown whether the impact of a dream relating to violence or death is more emotionally charged for a person who dreams in color than one who dreams in black and white

Dreams are not about what they are about
If you dream about some particular subject it is not often that the dream is about that. Dreams speak in a deeply symbolic language. The unconscious mind tries to compare your dream to something else, which is similar. Its like writing a poem and saying that a group of ants were like machines that never stop. But you would never compare something to itself, for example: That beautiful sunset was like a beautiful sunset. So whatever symbol your dream picks on it is most unlikely to be a symbol for itself.

Quitters have more vivid dreams
People who have smoked cigarettes for a long time who stop, have reported much more vivid dreams than they would normally experience. Additionally, according to the Journal of Abnormal Psychology: 293 smokers abstinent for between 1 and 4 weeks, 33% reported having at least 1 dream about smoking. In most dreams, subjects caught themselves smoking and felt strong negative emotions, such as panic and guilt. Dreams about smoking were the result of tobacco withdrawal, as 97% of subjects did not have them while smoking, and their occurrence was significantly related to the duration of abstinence. They were rated as more vivid than the usual dreams and were as common as most major tobacco withdrawal symptoms.

External Stimuli Invade our Dreams
This is called Dream Incorporation and it is the experience that most of us have had where a sound from reality is heard in our dream and incorporated in some way. A similar (though less external) example would be when you are physically thirsty and your mind incorporates that feeling in to your dream. My own experience of this includes repeatedly drinking a large glass of water in the dream which satisfies me, only to find the thirst returning shortly after - this thirst drink thirst loop often recurs until I wake up and have a real drink. The famous painting above (Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening) by Salvador Dali, depicts this concept

How to run Turbo C++ in Windows Vista

noreply@blogger.com (Jeyanthan) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:28:35 PDT

install the software DOSBox ver 0.72 ( 1.2 MB ) (Freeware) from the link below (Direct Link)

Code:

Code:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dosbox/DOSBox0.72-win32-installer.exe?download

Before going to the details u have to create a folder (any name will do). Here we name it as Turbo

Copy the TC into the Turbo folder

Run the DOSBox 0.72 from the icon located on the desktop or from the location of the installation folder

Then u are presented with two screens which look like the command prompt in Windows

Now u are presented with two screens. One with a Z prompt. U can ignore the other screen.

There type the following commands at the command prompt [Z]:

Mount [Type in any alphabet that u wish except z] [Type the source of the turbo C] press enter

Now , Type in the following commands after the Z prompt:

Z: mount d c:\Turbo\ [The folder TC is present inside the folder Turbo]

* Now u should get a message which says: Drive D is mounted as a local directory c:\Turbo\ ***

Now type d: to shift to d: prompt .

D: cd TC [The contents inside the folder Turbo gets mounted as a virtual drive (Here D drive)

D: cd Bin

D: TC or Tc.exe [This presents u the Turbo C++3.0 screen]

On the Turbo C++ goto Options>Directories>Change the source of TC to the source directory [D] ( i.e. virtual D: refers to original c:\Turbo\ . So make the path change to something like D:\TC\include and D:\TC\lib respectively )

================================================== =========

In order to get the full screen use the key combination of Alt and Enter

When u exit from the DosBox [precisely when u unmount the virtual drive where Turbo C++ 3.0 has been mounted] all the files u have saved or made changes in Turbo C++ 3.0 will be copied into the source directory(The directory which contains TC folder)

It is a good idea to backup your files in the source directory prior to running DOSBox 0.72

For additional help go through the readme file located in the installation folder or look on the website of the DOSBox forum.

The above procedure has been successfully implemented on Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit

IMP : Don't use shortcut keys to perform operations in TC because they might be a shortuct key for DOSBOX also . Eg : Ctrl+F9 will exit DOSBOX rather running the code

How to kill mosquitoes with your computer |Must see!!|

noreply@blogger.com (Jeyanthan) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:25:27 PDT

KILL MOSQUITOES WITH YOUR COMPUTER

Stop using chemical based Insecticides to kill mosquitoes, because you might kill yourself.

Download these Anti Mosquito software to repel those annoying insects and be safer & greener

How does it work?

Dragonflies are the mortal enemy for mosquitoes and in flight they generate sound frequencies (approximately) between 67 Hz and 45 Hz, depending on their sizes.

56 Hz is a good average number in between those frequencies. Your PC sound card and speakers will work well for this purpose. There are many sound and tone generator programs available on the internet for both the Mac and Windows PC. Setup your computer with the sound/tone generator program running and then play the sound through your computer speakers. The speakers can be aimed directionally for complete room coverage.

The sound level on the speakers should be adjusted so it is barely audible. This arrangement can be setup in a bedroom where you would like to have the window open but are worried about mosquitoes. One speaker should be fairly close to where you are sleeping.

Here are some links to more advanced tone generator software which can actually sweep between the 45 Hz and 67 Hz frequencies:

Open Source at Google | Android Scripting Environment is noy open

noreply@blogger.com (Jeyanthan) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:37:14 PDT

The Android Scripting Environment (ASE) brings scripting languages to Android by allowing you to edit and execute scripts and interactive interpreters directly on the Android device. These scripts have access to many of the APIs available to full-fledged Android applications, but with a greatly simplified interface that makes it easy to:

Handle intents
Start activities
Make phone calls
Send text messages
Scan bar codes
Poll location and sensor data
Use text-to-speech (TTS)
And more

Scripts can be run interactively in a terminal, started as a long running service, or started via Locale. Python, Lua and BeanShell are currently supported, and we're planning to add Ruby and JavaScript support, as well.

Scripts can be edited directly on the phone.

The script manager displays available scripts.

Scripts can be launched interactively or as background services.

Interactive terminals can be started for interpreters that support it.

Scripts can use the Android UI to get user input.

You may ask, why write scripts instead of real Android applications? Admittedly, Android's development environment makes life pretty easy, but you're tied to a computer to do your work. ASE lets you develop on the device itself using high-level scripting languages to try out your idea now, in the situation where you need it, quickly. Have a look at the following example Lua script to see for yourself:

--Placing the phone face down will disable the ringer. Turning it face up again will enable
--the ringer.
require "android"
android.startSensing()
android.sleep(1)  --Give the sensors a moment to come online.
silent = false
while true do
  s = android.readSensors()
  facedown = s.result and s.result.zforce and s.result.zforce > 9
  if facedown and not silent then
    android.vibrate()  --A short vibration to indicate we're in silent mode.
    android.setRingerSilent(true)
    silent = true
  elseif not facedown and silent then
    android.setRingerSilent(false)
    silent = false
  end
  android.sleep(1)
end

Here's another useful script, this time in Python.

"""Say chat messages aloud as they are received."""

import android, xmpp

_SERVER = 'talk.google.com', 5223

class SayChat(object):
  def __init__(self):
    self.droid = android.Android()
    username = self.droid.getInput('Username')['result']
    password = self.droid.getInput('Password')['result']
    jid = xmpp.protocol.JID(username)
    self.client = xmpp.Client(jid.getDomain(), debug=[])
    self.client.connect(server=_SERVER)
    self.client.RegisterHandler('message', self.message_cb)
    if not self.client:
      print 'Connection failed!'
      return
    auth = self.client.auth(jid.getNode(), password, 'botty')
    if not auth:
      print 'Authentication failed!'
      return
    self.client.sendInitPresence()

  def message_cb(self, session, message):
    jid = xmpp.protocol.JID(message.getFrom())
    username = jid.getNode()
    text = message.getBody()
    self.droid.speak('%s says %s' % (username, text))

  def run(self):
    try:
      while True:
        self.client.Process(1)
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
      pass

saychat = SayChat()
saychat.run()

These scripts demonstrates several of the available APIs available for both Lua and Python. It is intended to be run as a service and silences the ringer when the phone is placed face down. For some scripting languages, like BeanShell, it's possible to access Android's Java API directly. To simplify things, ASE provides the AndroidFacade class. For other languages, like Python and Lua, the API is made available via JSON RPC calls to a proxy. Naturally this means that only the part of the API which has been wrapped by the AndroidFacade and AndroidProxy are available to cross-compiled interpreters like Python and Lua. Thankfully, both AndroidFacade and AndroidProxy are simple to extend.

If you'd like to give ASE a try, it's not yet published to the Market, but will be soon. You can download the latest APK from our project page. Some sample scripts and documentation are also included there to help you get started. We always love to hear what you think, so please send us feedback or ask your questions in the ASE discussion group.

About IELTS

Why IELTS

It has become a mandatory test for students of many nationalities to obtain student visas to Australia. You cannot be granted an Australian student visa without an IELTS score if you are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and many other countries, TOEFL is not accepted. All other study destinations either require you to take the TOEFL or IELTS. IELTS is however not accepted by most universities in USA. TOEFL is required as a proof of English proficiency to study there.

IELTS Test Structure

IELTS tests the ability to listen, read, write and speak in English. Band scores are used for each language sub-skill (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking). The Band Scale ranges from 1 (”Non User”) to 9 (”Expert User”) the four Band Scores, one for each section are added together and averaged for an Overall Band Score. Each Band has a statement giving a summary of the English at that level. There are nine Band levels, from one (non-user) to nine (expert user). All candidates must complete four Modules - Listening, Reading, Writing and speaking to obtain an IELTS Test Report Form. Total Test Time 2 hours 45 minutes.

The first three modules - Listening, Reading and Writing - must be completed in one day. The Speaking Module may be taken, at the discretion of the test centre, in the period seven days before or after the other Modules. The tests are designed to cover the full range of ability from non-user to expert user.

IELTS level for admission to the academic world

The minimum score accepted for a course ranges from 5.0 to 7.5, depending upon courses and institutes you are applying to. The most common requirement is a band score of 6 to 6.5.

Website Development Using PHP

noreply@blogger.com (Jeyanthan) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:54:29 PDT

PHP 4 was officially released on May 22, 2002, and today its installed base has surpassed 15 million domains. In the late 1998, Zeev and Andi looked back at their work in PHP 3 and felt they could have written the scripting language even better and they started yet another rewrite. While PHP 3 still continuously parsed the scripts while executing them, PHP 4 came with a new paradigm of compile first, execute later. The compilation step does not compile PHP scripts into machine code; it instead compiles them into byte code, which is then executed by the Zend Engine (Zend stands for Zeev & Andi), the new heart of PHP 4. Because of this new way of executing scripts, the performance of PHP 4 was much better than that of PHP 3, with only a small amount of backward compatibility breakage 4. Among other improvements was an improved extension API for better run-time performance, a web server abstraction layer allowing PHP 4 to run on most popular web servers, and lots more.

Crack Your GMail Password

noreply@blogger.com (Jeyanthan) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 21:57:17 PDT

Did you forget your GoogleMail password? If you had the foresight at the time of signing up for the account you will know your username and perhaps have set a secret question and secondary address. If so, you can simply visit the password recovery page, follow the instructions, and retrieve your password.

DO NOT, whatever you do, download a crack, hacker tool, or anything else that claims to be able to crack your GMail password, it will be malware, no two ways about it, and your computer and your security will be seriously compromised.

But, if you don’t remember or never set those things, you might be hoping that there is another way to crack your GMail password. According to Hacking Truths there is, a download called GMail Password Recovery tool. Apparently, this program will scan your PC for encrypted GMail passwords, extract them, decrypt and decode them and display them in a readable format. It will search in settings across the following apps: Google Talk, Gmail Notifier, Google Desktop, Picasa, Google Photos Screensaver, Internet Explorer and Firefox. Supposedly. DO NOT USE THIS TOOL!!!

I downloaded the file from the link provided by Hacking Truths and did an antivirus scan with ESET NOD32. Immediately, it found a Trojan horse program. Even if your antivirus doesn’t show anything untoward, I wouldn’t recommend connecting to a remote server with a tool like this, anyway. It could easily be a phishing scam. You are leaving yourself open to

Moreover, although there seem to be “clean” versions of this password recovery tool on the net, how can you be sure that it’s not got something that is simply not being detected?

There is another warning to be discussed (not just about ensuring you scan all downloads for viruses, Trojans, and malware before you run them). With GMail Password Recovery, anyone could download and install a program like this on any PC to which they have access. Be warned if you use a shared machine and don’t entirely trust other users. If it actually works someone could use it to crack your GMail password.

Such a tool could be especially important for government agents and spies who seem to have a penchant for leaving laptop computers on public transport, in the UK at least, although they never seem to learn the lesson of encryption so I doubt they use strong passwords as it is

Description About SAT

noreply@blogger.com (Jeyanthan) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 18:49:27 PDT

SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test)

Test Modules in SAT

Typically, SAT reasoning test are categorized into three major sections, Critical Reading, Writing and Mathematics, with a total of 10 sub-sections including a dummy section. These sections are discussed below:

Critical Reading

SAT exam begins with Critical reading questions that determine various reading comprehension skills. It includes two 25-minute sections and one 20-minute section with 48 reading comprehension questions and 19 sentence completion questions. The scores are scaled on a 200-800 point scale with the total time limit of 70 minutes. This module consists of the following subsections:

Sentence Completion: It measures the vocabulary of the applicants and understanding the sentence structure i.e., how the different parts of a sentence fit logically together. Here each sentence has one or two blank space which has to be filled correctly with the given multiple choices.
Passage-based Reading: This section comprises of two types of passage reading, Vocabulary in Context and Literal Comprehension. It measures the reading abilities of the students and thinking carefully about different passages ranging from 100 to 850 words approximately. These passages will be extracted from a variety of fields like, humanities, social studies, natural sciences, and literary fiction.

Writing Section

The writing section of SAT is based on the old SAT-II subject test in writing. The total time limit of writing section is 60 minutes. It includes multiple choice questions and a brief essay. The essay score accounts to be around 30% of the writing score and the multiple choice component accounts to be around 70%.

The multiple choice questions include, Error Identification, Sentence Improvement questions that tests for grammar knowledge and Paragraph Improvement questions that test for student’s understanding of logical organization of ideas.

The essay section is administered as the first part of the test, which has 25 minutes of time limit. They have to be written in response to the specified prompt, which are typically philosophical and are designed to be accessible to students despite of their educational and social backgrounds.

Mathematics Section

This section is also known as Quantitative Section determines important skills like, estimation and number sense using multiple choice questions and student response questions. Mathematics section includes topics like, exponential growth, absolute value, and functional notation. It consisting of three scored sections:

A 25 minutes section – It contains 20 multiple choice (problem solving) questions to be completed in 25 minutes
Another 25-minute section - It contains 8 multiple choice (problem solving) questions and 10 grid-in questions, within the time limit of 25 minutes
A shorter section of 16 multiple choice (problem solving) questions to be completed in 20 minutes of time

In addition there will be a dummy section formally called as Variable or Equation section with the time limitation of 20 minutes. However this section does not count towards the individual score and they cannot be recognized in the test so as to not skipping those questions. They are only used for the future edition of SAT.

Priority Test - What are your priorities in life?

noreply@blogger.com (Jeyanthan) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 18:49:49 PDT

We often get in some situations when we take decisions without a second thought and this is the right moment to find which kind of person we are, as this decision comes out not from any pressure or any other reason but it simply comes out from what we exactly are. Find out which kind of person you are, what are your priorities in life and much more....

What would you do first if you are in a situation like:

The baby is crying.
Clothes have spread out and it has started raining.
Water is flowing from the tap.
Doorbell is ringing.
Phone bell is ringing.

Think about what you will do first then what second and so on…above all be honest!! Scroll down to see the explanation.

Each action reflects your priorities that you have set in your life. Take a look at the following table to see which priority corresponds to which action.
Action ...............................Priority
Attend the phone...................... Career and job
See who is at the door ..............Friends and relatives
Pick up the clothes ....................Sex
Attend the baby ....................... Family
Close the tap ..............................Wealth

For example if the first thing that you did was to answer the phone then your biggest priority in life would be your career and job. Similarly if the fourth thing that you did was to attend to the baby then your fourth priority would be your family

Mobile Tips and Rare codes

noreply@blogger.com (Jeyanthan) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 13:29:41 PDT

Don't Put your mobile closer to your ear...
This is only for those users which have memory card in their PHONES

When you try to call someone through mobile phone, don't put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers, because directly after dialing,
the mobile phone would use it's maximum signaling power, which is :

2 watts = 33dbi

Be careful. please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use he right one, it may affect brain directly.this is recommended by Apollo medical team.

Speed Up Your Cell Phones, Only For phones with MMC !!
This is only for those users which have memory card in their PHONES

First of all you will need:
- Computer
- UUS Connectivity of MEMORY CARD TO PC(CARD READER) NOT BLUETOOTH

Follow these steps;-
1. Remove memory card from mobile.
2. Insert it in CARD READER.
3. OPEN start menu>All program>acceSSories>system tools>DISK DEFRAGMENTER
4. Just run defragmenter at your memory card.
5. FRAGMENT IT 2 OR 3 TIMES.
6. PUT back memory card to phone.
7. ENJOY THE "SPEED

How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone:

* # 0 6 # or * # 9 2 7 0 2 6 8 9 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.

If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone. If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.

Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your
keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car,
you can unlock the doors (or the trunk)

Nokia instrument comes with reserve Battery.

Imagine your mobile battery is very low, you are expecting an important Call and you don't have a charger.

To activate, key is * 3 3 7 0 # your mobile will restart with this Reserve and your instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This Reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time. Nokia instrument comes with reserve Battery.

2. The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you.

And interestingly, the number 112 can be dialed even while the keypad is locked.

NOTE:
- Battery information applicable to Nokia hand phones only
- 112 emergency number applicable to all hand phones

To perform a full factory reset / format:

Press:
Power the phone off
Press down talk / green + 3 + * + On the Power

Note: Before proceed with the Full Factory Format, please be sure your mobile battery should be charged FULL.

This procedure will work on a Nokia 6600 / 6620 / 7610

To check the IMEI ( International Mobile Equipment Identity ) :

Press:
* # 0 6 #

This procedure will work on every mobile phone

To check the phones Software revision:
* # 0 0 0 0 #

EFR CALL QUALITY

To activate EFR ( Enhanced Full Rate ) Enter the code * 3 3 7 0 #
This improves call quality but decreases batterylife by about 5%
To deactivate it, Enter the code # 3 3 7 0 #

Normal Reset
* # 7 7 8 0 #
Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data ( photos, 3rd party apps etc )

Hard Reset
* # 7 3 7 0 #
This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost

and clean default files will be rewritten.

In both case, the phone will ask you a confirmation and you will have to enter a security code ( 12345 by default )

Activate Half Rate Codec
-
Your phone uses a lower quality sound but you should gain approx 30% more Talk Time.
* # 4 7 2 0 #

Deactivate Half Rate Codec.

What is Hadoop?

Hadoop is a an open source Apache project written in Java and designed to provide users with two things: a distributed file system (HDFS) and a method for distributed computation. It’s based on Google’s published Google File System and MapReduce concept which discuss how to build a framework capable of executing intensive computations across tons of computers. Something that might, you know, be helpful in building a giant search index. Read the Hadoop project description and wiki for more information and background on Hadoop.

What’s the big deal about running it on Windows?

Looking for Linux? If you’re looking for a comprehensive guide to getting Hadoop running on Linux, please check out Michael Noll’s excellent guides: Running Hadoop on Ubuntu Linux (Single Node Cluster) and Running Hadoop on Ubuntu Linux (Multi-Node Cluster). This post was inspired by these very informative articles.a

Hadoop’s key design goal is to provide storage and computation on lots of homogenous “commodity” machines; usually a fairly beefy machine running Linux. With that goal in mind, the Hadoop team has logically focused on Linux platforms in their development and documentation. Their Quickstart even includes the caveat that “Win32 is supported as a development platform. Distributed operation has not been well tested on Win32, so this is not a production platform.” If you want to use Windows to run Hadoop in pseudo-distributed or distributed mode (more on these modes in a moment), you’re pretty much left on your own. Now, most people will still probably not run Hadoop in production on Windows machines, but the ability to deploy on the most widely used platform in the world is still probably a good idea for allowing Hadoop to be used by many of the developers out there that use Windows on a daily basis.

Caveat Emptor

I’m one of the few that has invested the time to setup an actual distributed Hadoop installation on Windows. I’ve used it for some successful development tests. I have not used this in production. Also, although I can get around in a Linux/Unix environment, I’m no expert so some of the advice below may not be the correct way to configure things. I’m also no security expert. If any of you out there have corrections or advice for me, please let me know in a comment and I’ll get it fixed.

This guide uses Hadoop v0.17 and assumes that you don’t have any previous Hadoop installation. I’ve also done my primary work with Hadoop on Windows XP. Where I’m aware of differences between XP and Vista, I’ve tried to note them. Please comment if something I’ve written is not appropriate for Vista.

Bottom line: your mileage may vary, but this guide should get you started running Hadoop on Windows.

A quick note on distributed Hadoop

Hadoop runs in one of three modes:

Standalone: All Hadoop functionality runs in one Java process. This works “out of the box” and is trivial to use on any platform, Windows included.

Pseudo-Distributed: Hadoop functionality all runs on the local machine but the various components will run as separate processes. This is much more like “real” Hadoop and does require some configuration as well as SSH. It does not, however, permit distributed storage or processing across multiple machines.

Fully Distributed: Hadoop functionality is distributed across a “cluster” of machines. Each machine participates in somewhat different (and occasionally overlapping) roles. This allows multiple machines to contribute processing power and storage to the cluster.

The Hadoop Quickstart can get you started on Standalone mode and Psuedo-Distributed (to some degree). Take a look at that if you’re not ready for Fully Distributed. This guide focuses on the Fully Distributed mode of Hadoop. After all, it’s the most interesting where you’re actually doing real distributed computing.
