Vector vs Raster Images

Have seen site that transform Raster Images to Vector Images.

Using vector images has many advantages over using raster images. While raster images are based on pixels vector images are based on geometric figures which means that they can be scaled without making the image blurry or pixelated.

Autorun (Memory Stick Worms)

Have previously post Disabling Autorun on Windows. And found additional information, especially on USB Drives. Have read on Steve Riley’s blog that links to Nick Brown’s site.

From Nick Brown:

Sometimes the executable will live in a fake \RECYCLED folder, which is quite clever because hardly anyone ever opens the recycle bin on a memory stick, and because the folder doesn’t contain a real recycle bin structure, the worm will be safe, even if you empty the bin while the stick is in the drive.

From Steve Riley:

Nick also includes a little hack that effectively disables all files named “autorun.inf.” Interesting, but something in me prefers to make Windows just plain forget about all the drives it’s seen. So now I will amend my instructions. In addition to what I wrote earlier, you should also write a small script, and execute it through group policy, that deletes the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2

When I searched for it in my registry, I also found a few others, so maybe you’d want something that would search through the registry and delete them all, although I don’t know if such a tool exists — I’ve never had a need to look for something like that.

Detect Invisible Users in Yahoo! Messenger

Have you even notice that some of your friends is always offline in Messenger? Thru XEEBER, invisible Y! Instant Messenger account can be viewed.

Most Instant Messengers offer a function to hide your real status from your contacts and buddies by showing a faked offline status. People use it mainly to be able to work uninterrupted.

Checking OU Location on Active Directory

If you have a large Active Directory OU structure, its very hard to find the location of a user using the Find objects in the directory. Here is the trick:

1. On Find objects in the directory, click on View > Choose Colums

2. Select X.500 Distinguished Name

Kudos to MSForums on this tip.

Use GMail as Extended HardDrive

Some of you or almost all of you have USB thumb drive. I would suggest to use gmail as an extended harddrive which you can access. Have seen the post from one of the forum thread. You need to install gspace so you may access your gmail account like you are accessing an ftp site. Complete details may be seen on this blog site.

SMF Bridge for Joomla! Discontinued

I am lucky, I am using WordPress and not Joomla!

Joomla! is one of the most powerful Open Source Content Management Systems on the planet. It is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. Joomla! is easy to install, simple to manage, and reliable.

WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. What a mouthful. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

Simple Machines Forum — SMF in short — is a free, professional grade software package that allows you to set up your own online community within minutes.
