File corrupter

I found and interesting tool today at blogsolute. This is used to destroy a file. Actually we have tools to recover data from a corrupted file. But this is reverse. We can corrupt our file. Its name is File Destructor.

File Destructor is a web application that can generate a corrupt file with desired file name, file size and file extension. This sounds more realistic and file contains nothing but corrupt data, so when you try to open it does not work.

It is fully compatible with Windows and Mac

Facebook: How to disable New Photo viewer and get back Old version

 
I already posted about executing a script in my previous post to get rid of new facebook photo viewer.. But we have two more easy ways to do that. Simply delete the word "&theater" in the URL and enjoy the4 old version.
Or simply press F5. You will be with your old photo viewer. Comment if this doesn't work.

Facebook Photo Theater Killer

 
The new photo viewer or theater is embarrassing for many facebook users. To get rid of this I found a userscript.


Script Summary:
Kills the annoying (IMHO) new photo theater on facebook. Instead loads the old photo viewer, as long as facebook keeps it running.
Version: 2.1
Copyright: 2011+, David Harvey
License: GPL version 3 or any later version; http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html 

This has been tested in Chrome with the Tampermonkey extension and in Firefox with the Greasemonkey add-on. Let me know if you run into any issues. Also, if you find the script helpful, if you would, please, "fan" it.
2.1: Fixed an issue in newer versions of Firefox/Greasemonkey that caused the script to error out.
2.0.1: Fixed the timeout on the script to check the links for updating.
2.0: Added some functionality to capture the click before it can launch the theater. The theater still OCCASIONALLY shows up, but not as often as before.

The script is can be found here.

Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), New Era in Computing

 
APU is a combination of GPU and CPU. When data are processed in a computer, GPU and CPU both processes the data together. So, there is some lack of time by moving data from GPU to CPU and vice-versa. AMD is going to eliminate this time gap by combining CPU and GPU together in a single micro-processor or an APU.AMD is the only one competitor of Intel’s market.
AMD is going to launch their APU or Accelerated Processing Unit in this year. Not only AMD Intel is also working with this architecture and hopefully they will also release their new processing technology code named

Bing is more accurate than Google....!!

 

According to a study conducted by Hitwise, Bing users clicked on search results 81.54% of the time, while Google users only clicked 65.58%. This shows that Bing is offering more accurate results than Google.
“The share of unsuccessful searches highlights the opportunity for both the search engines and marketers to evaluate the search engine results pages to ensure that searchers are finding relevant information.” said Hitwise
According to Neowin “Bing’s market share has gone up by 6%, while Google is slowly losing its dominance. Although Google still holds the top spot with 67.95% market share, Bing is slowly catching up. Bing-powered searches, including both Bing.com and Yahoo.com, claim a total of 27.44%.”

How to check and enable IPV6 in Windows XP

 
As IPV6 is activated officially by IETF, many are in need of it. In windows 7 it is already enabled. However, due to some circumstances, it may be disabled. Also due to the failure of Windows Vista, many people stuck to Windows Xp till now. Especially in case of educational institutions, firms etc., where a large number of computers are present, are still in dilemma whether to shift to Windows 7. So if these users wanna activate IPV6, there is some procedure here.

1) Just goto run by pressing windows button + R.
2) Type cmd to enter command prompt.
3) Type ipconfig and check for the entry IPV6.


4) If not found then type netsh and press enter.
5) Now type interface and press enter.
6) Type ipv6 and press enter.
7) Type install and press enter.

I think there is another way to do it. But i prefer this as it is easy.
If anyone want to know how to do it using GUI and not from command prompt, just leave a comment here. Also if there is any problem with IPV6 installation let me know through your comments.

After logging in just go to http://www.facebook.com/friends/ and click on phone book in the left side bar. That's it. All your friends phone numbers are listed.

New Windows Vulnerability

 
I am already late in posting this. My dear readers, if you on a windows machine (whatever may be the version including the latest W7). There is a vulnerability existing in windows. It is related to security. It results in attackers to execute scripts on your machine without your knowledge. So I suggest 3 things.

File Joiner, Combine .001, .002, .00x Files

 
The main reason for splitting files is to prepare a file for distribution. File hosting sites often have file size limitations that force a user to split the file before it can be uploaded. This is usually done with the help of archiving software such as Winrar, Winzip or 7zip.

Internet users sometimes however may encounter split files with file extensions like .001, .002 and so on which many unpackers do not support.

File Joiner is a free portable application for Windows that can join these files back together.


Features 


  • auto sorting (numerical sorting (.001, .002) or full path sorting)
  • auto loading consecutive parts when you open or drag&drop file with extension .001
  • auto output file path generator (file "c:\test.avi.001" will generate output file path "c:\test.avi")
  • faster joining with option to append all files to first file
  • MD5 and CRC32 hash calculation for output file
  • full UNICODE support
  • loading files from folder and recursive loading from sub-folders
  • option to associate extension .001 in windows explorer, so you can load files by double clicking the file (not portable)
  • progress bar to monitor the join operation (also Windows 7 progress bar in taskbar)
  • File Joiner 64bit (x64) and 32bit (x86) versions available





Licence :
File Joiner is released as freeware, 100% free to use. You may copy and/or distribute File Joiner only in its original, unaltered form, with all files included unmodified.
File Joiner is intended as freeware, you are not allowed to charge any fee or other compensation for the software.

A great Linux combination of thesaurus : WordNet + Artha

 
You may have heard of WordNet before. It’s a very handy command-line interface for the WordNet lexical database. When combined with a front-end however, WordNet is very powerful. There are many front ends for WordNet, but one of the easiest to use is Artha. Artha is a free, cross-platform thesaurus that depends upon WordNet for the backend.

Installation :

The installation of these two tools is simple. You can either search for them and install them from within your Add/Remove Software tool (search for “wordnet” and “artha” – no quotes), or you can install them via the command line. Let’s install from the command line. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open up a terminal window.
2. Issue the command sudo apt-get install wordnet artha.
3. Type your sudo password when prompted.
4. Accept all dependencies (if necessary).

That’s it. Once installed you will find Artha in Applications > Accessories.
